My mother named me after the street: Pearl Wong. A typical Chinese-style mum, my mother often reminded me of the importance of being outstanding. “Be number one, or be nothing,” she demanded in broken English. She would check my report cards and frown at anything lower than an A． At a holiday party, my brother received a chess set, missing a pawn (卒) and a knight (马). My mother dismissed it as unwanted junk, but we were fascinated, especially me. “Why can’t they move more steps?” “Why do they go crossways to take other men? ” I had so many questions. My mother patted the flour off her hands. “Let me see book,” she said. “Ah. Don’t know why? You find out yourself.” So I read and memorized the rules, studied the moves, and practiced endlessly. Soon, I was beating my brothers. With every game, my chess improved, my wins grew, and my hunger for victory deepened. I started entering tournaments and winning trophies (奖杯). My mother became my biggest supporter — but in her own way. She pushed me to win every game and displayed every trophy in the bakery window. I asked her several times not to do so but she insisted. Soon, the cakes were surrounded by rows of shining trophies. “This my daughter, Pearl,” she would tell others, her voice full of pride. But the more she showed me off, the more I felt trapped, as if I were no longer playing for myself, as if I were her trophy. One Saturday in Chinatown, my mother paraded (招摇过市) me through the stores, without making a purchase. “This my daughter, Pearl Wong, Chinatown chess champion,” she announced. The shopkeepers, with forced smiles, looked at us with an obviously growing impatience. 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。 Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （二） （2025•江苏盐城射阳中学•二模） 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。 “Mom, I want that... and that... and that,” insisted a girl who looked about Judy’s age. The girl kept pointing at items on the shelves, and magically, the items appeared in her shopping basket. Judy noticed that whatever the teenage girl pointed at, her mother immediately put it in their basket. Judy hung down her head, and left for the discount section, depressed. Whether by accident or design, Judy and the mother-daughter pair met again by the cashier, and by the time their basket had gone from empty to full. Judy glanced at their basket, which was filled with chips and snacks. She looked at her own basket, where there was next to nothing. Judy, a high-school senior, was tasked to do the weekly shopping and had to stretch a dollar as much as possible. However, once home, Judy’s mother complained about her, “Why not get the cheapest items? Don’t buy unnecessary things. We aren’t wealthy.” Judy was not a spendthrift (挥霍无度的人), but her mother always urged her not to spend too much. Judy knew her mother was very thin and quite often ill. To support the family, her father took up part-time jobs all the year round. They were not taking proper care of her. Instead of feeling annoyed, Judy quietly resolved never to find herself in such a situation again. The following week at school, a guest speaker delivered a speech about determination. The speaker made them think and challenged them to take control of their lives. Judy felt very inspired. She remembered one particular line, “Determination leads to success.” She realized she could not change her family’s poor circumstances at the moment, but she could change her own future. This determined mindset made her put forth her best effort in her studies. 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。 With the goal in mind, Judy went into action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After entering university, Judy received a call inviting her back to her high school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （三） （2025·江苏泰州中学·二模） 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 watched my dad scowl (绷着脸) as he listened to the voice coming through the telephone receiver. I heard him say, “Yes, Miss Beisner,” and “I understand what you’re saying, Miss Beisner. I appreciate you sharing this information. We’ll see what we can do about the situation. Thank you for calling. Goodbye.” Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher, and I loved her. I thought she felt the same about me, but now I was beginning to wonder. The tone of Dad’s voice, the redness in his cheeks, and his repeated clenching. And unclenching of fists made it pretty clear. This was not a warm and fuzzy good news-from-the-teacher call. As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home, Dad hung up the phone. “Jacquie, come here and sit down. We need to talk.” Uh-oh. When Dad said, “We need to talk,” it meant he needed to talk, and I needed to listen. I shuffled (拖着脚走) over to the well-worn brown chair in the corner of the living room, plopped down, and waited to hear the nature of my crime. Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability. She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits. Translation: I never closed my mouth, and I seldom opened a book. Apparently, my failure to memorize the addition facts, or even attempt to, was more than she was willing to put up with. Hence, the telephone call. Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack. Bubbles, our Toy Manchester Terrier, was going to teach me math. Silently, I thought, No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add, not even our beloved Bubbles. Out loud, I said, “How?” Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit. “Bubbles,” Dad said, “how much is five plus three?” Bubbles let out eight loud, crisp barks. I was incredulous (满腹狐疑的). I couldn’t understand how a dog could add, and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me.注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （四） （2025·江苏苏锡常镇·二模） 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。 In Los Angeles, California, there was an aquarium (水族馆) called “Ocean Wonders Aquarium,  “located along the scenic coastline. The aquarium was home to a wide variety of ocean creatures, attracting countless visitors who were amazed at the colorful tropical (热带) fish,  slow-moving seahorses, graceful jellyfish, and intelligent dolphins. However, the aquarium had to go through a major restoration, and as of December 1st last year, it closed its doors to the public. The construction was expected to last until the summer, with the entire project taking more than six months to complete. Without visitors, the aquarium grew extremely quiet and felt like an empty space. The animals, who were used to human interaction every day, now saw very few human faces, only the familiar caretakers. Something strange began to happen. The dolphins, once energetic and lively, seemed tired, lacking the usual enthusiasm they had for play. One morning, after the caretaker Amanda threw small fish into the dolphin’s tank, the dolphins swam lazily to the tank walls and barely showed any interest in their favorite meals. They stared blankly into the distance, their usual excitement absent. “Something’s not right,” Amanda whispered to herself Dr. Harris was called in to investigate. He examined the dolphins and initially suspected digestive issues. “Perhaps we should reduce their food intake,” he suggested. “Give them smaller amounts of food and see if that helps with any potential digestive discomfort. ” But after a few days, there was no improvement. The dolphins continued to suffer, showing no interest in food or play. Disappointed and worried, John, a senior caretaker, gathered the team.  “What should we do?” he asked, his voice filled with concern. Then, one of the caretakers posed an idea: “Could it be that the dolphins are lonely without the visitors?” 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。 Paragraph one: While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something.   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （五） （2025·江苏前黄中学·二模） 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。 One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which “you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. ” Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and snickering, because I knew there was more to the story. My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won. After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that’s how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more. I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry. 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。 I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （六） （2025·江苏南通·二模） 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。 It was a presentation for my literature class, where every student had to present their analysis of a classic novel. My knees were shaking, and my throat felt drier with every passing second. As I looked around, 30 pairs of eyes were fixed on me, waiting for me to speak. Though I was comfortable sharing my ideas in small group discussions, I felt nervous about speaking in front of the whole class. Fear flooded me, and my mind went blank. I could hear my heart beating in my ears, blocking out the words I wanted to say. I ended up messing up the presentation. With another presentation coming soon, I refused to let fear hold me back again. I decided to sign up to perform at a campus comedy club event. I admired how confident stand-up comedians were, and I hoped I could act like them. When I spoke there later, though my jokes didn’t get much of a reaction, I surprisingly enjoyed being on stage and felt I could do better next time. Inspired by this, I knew I needed advice from someone more experienced. That was when I noticed Sania, a talented performer whose humor and confidence made her the highlight of the evening. I gathered the courage to talk to her and introduced myself as a beginner speaker looking to improve. She listened closely and gave me great advice, “Attend more open microphone (麦克风) events and watch more comedy performances.” Over the next few weeks, I attended more open microphone events and observed how Sania and other skilled comedians made their performances engaging with clever stories. Surprisingly, this helped me understand literature in a new way. I started to think of literature as something to be told. The characters I analyzed became lively figures in a story that I could explain in a more interesting way. Having prepared for some time, I took a chance and asked Sania if she would like to watch my novel presentation and offer advice. She gladly agreed and we met at a study hall one afternoon after school. 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。 I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （七） （2025·江苏南通如皋·二模） 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。 On a gray Monday morning. Sarah hurried along the crowded sidewalk. She’d overslept and was already running late for work. The sky was overcast, and the air carried a damp chill, making her wish she’d worn a heavier coat. As she rushed toward her office building, she could feel the weight of the day pressing down on her-meetings, deadlines, and the usual chaos of a busy workweek. Inside the office lobby (大堂), colleagues rushed past, their footsteps echoing against the marble floors, each one lost in their own world of deadlines and to-do lists. Some were busy typing on the keyboard. Some were talking to clients on the phones, gesturing wildly trying to explain a campaign strategy. After swiping her ID card at the entrance, Sarah rushed toward the elevator. She pressed the button, impatiently tapping her foot as she waited. When the elevator arrived, she stepped inside, pressing the button for the 10th floor without a second thought. The doors closed, and she sighed, leaning against the wall as she took a sip of her coffee. The other passengers in the elevator were mostly strangers, their faces wearing the same tiredness that Sarah felt. A man in a suit stood nearby, checking his watch for the tenth time, while a woman in a business casual outfit carried a stack of papers, her eyes turning from one page to the next. But then, the lights started to flash, and a strange noise replaced the usual hum (嘈杂声). Sarah’s stomach dropped as the elevator suddenly came to a stop, trapping her between floors. Panic surged through her, but she managed to stay calm. She pressed the emergency button and spoke into the intercom, her voice trembling as she explained her situation. The operator assured her that help was on the way but warned it might take time due to the malfunction (故障). As the minutes ticked by, Sarah’s phone signal began to fade. 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。 Several minutes passed, but no help came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bang!

Aside from my parents, I felt others found my shyness difficult to accept. It used to be something that affected my life in the most negative way possible. It made me unable to talk in any setting in which I felt uncomfortable. This means that I wasn’t even able to speak in class, chat with my friends, order my own food, etc. At the 5th grade, my parents moved to a neighbouring city because of the job relocation and I changed schools. I found myself in a new classroom with a new teacher, whom we called Ms. S, surrounded by 30 new faces. This was fairly terrifying. And so when I was asked to stand up and introduce myself, I was trembling. Still then, I was labelled as “shy and quiet”. I didn’t have a lot of friends, only spoke in class if I really had to, kept everything to myself, avoided public events, and panicked badly at the thought of oral presentations in class. This haunted (萦绕) me until one day, Ms. S announced in class that each of us was going to be singing a solo in front of the class. I’d had no idea that this was going to happen. When it was my turn, she called me up to the front, instructed the piano player to begin and I very unwillingly sang “Cuckoo, cuckoo, pray what do you do...” in a barely audible, high-pitched voice, with the rest of silent children staring up at me. Ms. S stood next to the piano, saying: “Louder! Louder! ” But I didn’t know how to project my voice; I couldn’t make it any louder. I was really upset at it. I cried for a few hours. I suspected my childhood shyness was largely unsupported in the new school. This even made me not want to go to school. 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。 After school, Ms. S asked me to go into her office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took her word for it and something shifted for me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （九） （2025·江苏南京中华中学·二模） 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。 When I adopted him, he had been rescued from death inside a tightly tied black trash bag abandoned right beside a garbage truck on the road. An alert garbage man noticed the bag moving and used a metal rake (耙子) to tear open the bag to look inside. There was my shaking puppy dog. The rake damaged the nerves in his back so he limped a little, but he could run as fast as lightning. For my dog’s first birthday, I entered him in a fun run sponsored by our local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I’m not much of a runner, but the run was only 3 kilometers, so I thought it would be fun for both of us. We practiced for weeks. On our practice runs, he was always eager to go and usually dragged me along behind him. I worked on his leash (拴狗链) manners so that he wouldn’t trip me on the big day. I felt we were ready for anything. The fun run was downtown among the big buildings, so the noise of barking dogs all around us rose to a deafening pitch at the start of the race. My dog was frightened when the starting tone went off. He had trouble running in the right direction with all the confusion around us. Soon the runners began to thin out, and my dog was running straight and fast. We were passing people and making great time. I was dreaming of a gold-medal finish. However, when we were six blocks from the finish, my dog suddenly stopped and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I almost dislocated my shoulder from the sudden stop as I was pulled backward by the leash. He was lying flat on his belly with his head down in the middle of the crossroads. At first I thought something bad had happened to him. He was shaking and sobbing. I did a quick check and couldn’t see anything wrong. I tried to get him up, but he refused. The police officer doing traffic control impatiently signed me to move away so he could release the cars. 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。 But I couldn’t get my seventy-five-pound dog to get up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Another half-block of carrying him brought the answer—a moving garbage truck. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （十） （2025·江苏南京·二模） 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。 It was 1975. I left school at 16 to work at the Tibooburra Pub, which had special significance for my family. The pub had first been run by my great-grandfather, Walter, back in 1913 and then he sold it. In the late 1940s, my grandfather bought it back. Having spent so much time there as a kid, 1 thought it was a great place to work in. Grandfather’s cheerful smile and comforting voice made those years precious to me. Unfortunately, grandfather died from a heart attack and the pub was eventually sold to a family, which meant I had to find work elsewhere. I then got a job at the local hospital and enjoyed it, though nothing felt the same as working for one’s own family. Aged 20, I connected with a man named Craig. Later we got married. Running a sheep property kept us busy, but one thing stayed on my mind. “I’d love to buy back the pub one day,” I said to Craig. Part of me still longed for the days of being behind the bar and welcoming customers with a smile, just like my grandfather had. In 2014, the pub came on the market again, so Craig and I went for it. Our offer was successful. Running it again was like stepping back in time; nothing much had changed, and I enjoyed slipping into my old job. But Craig and I had plans to expand. We used our savings and did some renovations (翻新), like putting in a beer garden outside and building more motel (汽车旅馆) rooms. I felt like I was not only doing a great business, but also keeping alive our family tradition. In February 2021, I went to the neighboring state to get some supplies and on the way back, I got a call from Craig. “There’s been a fire at the pub,” he cried. Being hours away was hard as I didn't know how bad the damage was. 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。 When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （十一） （2025·江苏常州·二模） 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。 One rainy evening, as I was walking home from school, I heard a faint meowing coming from a nearby alley. Curiosity led me to investigate, and there, in a corner, huddle d a tiny, soaking wet kitten. Its eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. I couldn’t just leave it there. I scooped up the little creature and wrapped it in my jacket to keep it warm. When I got home, my parents were surprised to see me with a stray kitten, but they understood my concern and allowed me to keep it for the night. I dried the kitten with a towel and gave it some milk and a small blanket to sleep on. It purred softly, as if thanking me. That night, as I lay in bed, I thought-about-how the kitten must have been alone and scared in the cold rain. The next day, I took the kitten to the veterinarian to make sure it was healthy. The doctor said it was just a little undernourished and needed some love and care. I decided to name the kitten Luna. Over the next few weeks, Luna grew stronger and more playful. She would follow me around the house and curl up on my lap when I was reading. I was determined to find her a forever home. One sunny weekend, I organized a small adoption event in the neighborhood park. Many people came to see the cute kitten, but no one seemed quite the right fit. Just as I was starting to feel disheartened, a little girl approached with her parents. Her eyes lit up when she saw Luna, and she gently stroked the kitten’s fur. I could tell from the look on her face that she would give Luna all the love and attention she needed. With a heavy heart but a smile on my face, I handed Luna over to the little girl. Amazed and thrilled, the little girl hugged Luna tightly in her arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, I went to see Luna in the little girl’s home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （十二） （2025·江苏常州高级中学·二模） The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again.

Below our flat, my family ran a bakery. My mother named me after the street: Pearl Wong. A typical Chinese-style mum, my mother often reminded me of the importance of being outstanding. “Be number one, or be nothing,” she demanded in broken English. She would check my report cards and frown at anything lower than an A． At a holiday party, my brother received a chess set, missing a pawn (卒) and a knight (马). My mother dismissed it as unwanted junk, but we were fascinated, especially me. “Why can’t they move more steps?” “Why do they go crossways to take other men? ” I had so many questions. My mother patted the flour off her hands. “Let me see book,” she said. “Ah. Don’t know why? You find out yourself.” So I read and memorized the rules, studied the moves, and practiced endlessly. Soon, I was beating my brothers. With every game, my chess improved, my wins grew, and my hunger for victory deepened. I started entering tournaments and winning trophies (奖杯). My mother became my biggest supporter — but in her own way. She pushed me to win every game and displayed every trophy in the bakery window. I asked her several times not to do so but she insisted. Soon, the cakes were surrounded by rows of shining trophies. “This my daughter, Pearl,” she would tell others, her voice full of pride. But the more she showed me off, the more I felt trapped, as if I were no longer playing for myself, as if I were her trophy. One Saturday in Chinatown, my mother paraded (招摇过市) me through the stores, without making a purchase. “This my daughter, Pearl Wong, Chinatown chess champion,” she announced.

As she was ready to take me to the next stop, I erupted, speaking under my breath, “I wish you wouldn’t do that!” “Aii-ya!” She grasped my hand tight, glaring. “Embarrass you be my daughter? ” Her voice was cracking with anger. I knew I should have stopped talking, but I heard myself yelling, “You are using me to show off! ” She stopped talking, her eyes narrowing dangerously. Panicked and outraged, I fled in dead silence, not daring to look back. (80 words) When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. Her hands moved swiftly yet quietly. I almost thought she was going to “give me color to see”. But suddenly she spoke, her voice trembling. “I’m sorry, Pearl.” She whispered like a big wounded cat. I couldn’t believe my ears. “No more use you. Just too too proud to be mama, ok? ” I looked up, her wrinkled face telling a long story. Tears rolling, I gave her an American-style hug, maybe for the first time ever, feeling like a real champion.

Whether by accident or design, Judy and the mother-daughter pair met again by the cashier, and by the time their basket had gone from empty to full. Judy glanced at their basket, which was filled with chips and snacks. She looked at her own basket, where there was next to nothing. Judy, a high-school senior, was tasked to do the weekly shopping and had to stretch a dollar as much as possible. However, once home, Judy’s mother complained about her, “Why not get the cheapest items? Don’t buy unnecessary things. We aren’t wealthy.” Judy was not a spendthrift (挥霍无度的人), but her mother always urged her not to spend too much. Judy knew her mother was very thin and quite often ill. To support the family, her father took up part-time jobs all the year round. They were not taking proper care of her. Instead of feeling annoyed, Judy quietly resolved never to find herself in such a situation again. The following week at school, a guest speaker delivered a speech about determination. The speaker made them think and challenged them to take control of their lives. Judy felt very inspired. She remembered one particular line, “Determination leads to success.” She realized she could not change her family’s poor circumstances at the moment, but she could change her own future. This determined mindset made her put forth her best effort in her studies. 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。 With the goal in mind, Judy went into action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After entering university, Judy received a call inviting her back to her high school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】     With the goal in mind, Judy went into action. She started by creating a strict study schedule, sacrificing leisure time to focus on her textbooks. Every evening after dinner, she would review her notes under the dim light until midnight. During weekends, instead of hanging out with friends, she visited the library to prepare for upcoming exams. Her teachers noticed her dedication and offered extra guidance. Gradually, her grades improved significantly, especially in math and science—subjects she knew could secure her a scholarship.      After entering university, Judy received a call inviting her back to her high school. The principal wanted her to share her success story with current students as an inspirational speaker. Standing at the podium where the guest speaker once motivated her, Judy recounted her journey from hardship to achievement. She emphasized how determination had transformed her life and encouraged others to persevere despite challenges. As she spoke, she spotted her former classmates and even the mother-daughter pair from the supermarket—now listening intently. （三） （2025·江苏泰州中学·二模） 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 watched my dad scowl (绷着脸) as he listened to the voice coming through the telephone receiver. I heard him say, “Yes, Miss Beisner,” and “I understand what you’re saying, Miss Beisner. I appreciate you sharing this information. We’ll see what we can do about the situation. Thank you for calling. Goodbye.” Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher, and I loved her. I thought she felt the same about me, but now I was beginning to wonder. The tone of Dad’s voice, the redness in his cheeks, and his repeated clenching. And unclenching of fists made it pretty clear. This was not a warm and fuzzy good news-from-the-teacher call. As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home, Dad hung up the phone. “Jacquie, come here and sit down. We need to talk.” Uh-oh. When Dad said, “We need to talk,” it meant he needed to talk, and I needed to listen. I shuffled (拖着脚走) over to the well-worn brown chair in the corner of the living room, plopped down, and waited to hear the nature of my crime. Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability. She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits. Translation: I never closed my mouth, and I seldom opened a book. Apparently, my failure to memorize the addition facts, or even attempt to, was more than she was willing to put up with. Hence, the telephone call. Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack. Bubbles, our Toy Manchester Terrier, was going to teach me math. Silently, I thought, No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add, not even our beloved Bubbles. Out loud, I said, “How?” Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit. “Bubbles,” Dad said, “how much is five plus three?” Bubbles let out eight loud, crisp barks. I was incredulous (满腹狐疑的). I couldn’t understand how a dog could add, and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me.注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination. Instead of hanging out with my friends after school, I would perch at the kitchen table, textbooks splayed out before me, and practice addition and subtraction. I thought to myself, if Bubbles, a dog, could learn math, then surely, I could too. With each passing week, I could see the fruits of my labor. Occasionally, during our study sessions, Dad would call Bubbles over. She would bark out the correct answers to simple math problems — it was a unique, interactive way for me to assess my progress. I swelled with pride at my achievements, my parents were overjoyed, and Miss Beisner’s smile returned. One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a trick or if it was all simply a coincidence. Dad, with a knowing smile, explained that Bubbles didn’t actually possess the ability to solve math problems. In reality, he had trained her to respond to certain cues. When he posed a math question, he would subtly tap his foot a certain number of times, prompting Bubbles to bark the corresponding number. Despite the initial disappointment, I realized that it was my own effort and perseverance that led to my improvement in math. My grades continued on an upward path. Bubbles couldn’t add, subtract, multiply or divide, but she sure could teach. （四） （2025·江苏苏锡常镇·二模） 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。 In Los Angeles, California, there was an aquarium (水族馆) called “Ocean Wonders Aquarium,  “located along the scenic coastline. The aquarium was home to a wide variety of ocean creatures, attracting countless visitors who were amazed at the colorful tropical (热带) fish,  slow-moving seahorses, graceful jellyfish, and intelligent dolphins. However, the aquarium had to go through a major restoration, and as of December 1st last year, it closed its doors to the public. The construction was expected to last until the summer, with the entire project taking more than six months to complete. Without visitors, the aquarium grew extremely quiet and felt like an empty space. The animals, who were used to human interaction every day, now saw very few human faces, only the familiar caretakers. Something strange began to happen. The dolphins, once energetic and lively, seemed tired, lacking the usual enthusiasm they had for play. One morning, after the caretaker Amanda threw small fish into the dolphin’s tank, the dolphins swam lazily to the tank walls and barely showed any interest in their favorite meals. They stared blankly into the distance, their usual excitement absent. “Something’s not right,” Amanda whispered to herself Dr. Harris was called in to investigate. He examined the dolphins and initially suspected digestive issues. “Perhaps we should reduce their food intake,” he suggested. “Give them smaller amounts of food and see if that helps with any potential digestive discomfort. ” But after a few days, there was no improvement. The dolphins continued to suffer, showing no interest in food or play. Disappointed and worried, John, a senior caretaker, gathered the team.  “What should we do?” he asked, his voice filled with concern. Then, one of the caretakers posed an idea: “Could it be that the dolphins are lonely without the visitors?” 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。 Paragraph one: While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something.   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something. They printed life-sized pictures of human faces, taping them onto the tank walls, creating an odd, makeshift display. It seemed absurd, like crafting temporary “scarecrow” figures, but with no other options, they hoped this would offer some form of interaction. Surprisingly, the dolphins reacted with newfound energy, swimming excitedly to the images and touched them with the noses. It was a small victory in an unconventional approach, but a hopeful sign that their solution was making a positive impact on the dolphins. As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. They turned to social media, asking followers to send videos of themselves waving and offering wishes to the dolphins, promising to visit once the restoration was complete. These videos were played near the tank, giving the dolphins the illusion of people surrounding them. Their behavior returned to normal, responding with more excitement, as if sensing the love and attention. Everyone realized that intelligent animals also need emotional care to thrive. It was a powerful reminder of the deep connection between humans and animals （五） （2025·江苏前黄中学·二模） 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。 One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which “you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. ” Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and snickering, because I knew there was more to the story. My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won. After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that’s how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more. I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry. 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。 I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. I turned my face away, fearing he would tease me. Unexpectedly, he gently picked my bike up and gestured me over, “Get on it.” His determined look smoothed away my doubts. As he gripped the back seat, I got on the bike, took a deep breath and started to pedal, holding tightly onto the handlebars. During the whole process, we didn’t talk much. He simply offered a few necessary instructions at times. But never once did he shout at me, nor did he let me fall. His patient teaching proved efficient and I gradually got the hang of riding. An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. She was amazed to see me riding steadily around the yard. While sharing my learning experience with her in excitement, I noticed my brother standing at a distance smiling at me. I cast him a grateful look and he nodded and then walked back into the house. From that day on, the sad pattern between us began to change. There were occasional conversations between us, filled with less embarrassment but increasing concern. I could feel a different kind of brotherly relationship slowly developing between us. I would always treasure that day as my favourite memory, the moment when I felt the best. （六） （2025·江苏南通·二模） 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。 It was a presentation for my literature class, where every student had to present their analysis of a classic novel. My knees were shaking, and my throat felt drier with every passing second. As I looked around, 30 pairs of eyes were fixed on me, waiting for me to speak. Though I was comfortable sharing my ideas in small group discussions, I felt nervous about speaking in front of the whole class. Fear flooded me, and my mind went blank. I could hear my heart beating in my ears, blocking out the words I wanted to say. I ended up messing up the presentation. With another presentation coming soon, I refused to let fear hold me back again. I decided to sign up to perform at a campus comedy club event. I admired how confident stand-up comedians were, and I hoped I could act like them. When I spoke there later, though my jokes didn’t get much of a reaction, I surprisingly enjoyed being on stage and felt I could do better next time. Inspired by this, I knew I needed advice from someone more experienced. That was when I noticed Sania, a talented performer whose humor and confidence made her the highlight of the evening. I gathered the courage to talk to her and introduced myself as a beginner speaker looking to improve. She listened closely and gave me great advice, “Attend more open microphone (麦克风) events and watch more comedy performances.” Over the next few weeks, I attended more open microphone events and observed how Sania and other skilled comedians made their performances engaging with clever stories. Surprisingly, this helped me understand literature in a new way. I started to think of literature as something to be told. The characters I analyzed became lively figures in a story that I could explain in a more interesting way. Having prepared for some time, I took a chance and asked Sania if she would like to watch my novel presentation and offer advice. She gladly agreed and we met at a study hall one afternoon after school. 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。 I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. Sania listened carefully, nodding now and then. When I finished, she smiled warmly. “You did well, but try to slow down and make your points clearer,” Sania suggested. “And if you feel nervous, take a deep breath. Focus on connecting with your audience, not just presenting to them. Think of them as friends who are curious to hear your story.” Her specific advice removed my anxiety and increased my confidence. It greatly improved my approach and made me feel well prepared. When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. As I spoke, I remembered Sania’s advice about engaging the audience with proper eye contact. I slowed down, focusing on connecting with my classmates as if they were my friends. Then I continued to express myself smoothly and confidently. This time, I received a round of loud applause, unlike the previous silence. I realized effective communication is just as important as the content itself. And thanks to Sania’s patience and support, I have experienced significant growth in the process. （七） （2025·江苏南通如皋·二模） 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。 On a gray Monday morning. Sarah hurried along the crowded sidewalk. She’d overslept and was already running late for work. The sky was overcast, and the air carried a damp chill, making her wish she’d worn a heavier coat. As she rushed toward her office building, she could feel the weight of the day pressing down on her-meetings, deadlines, and the usual chaos of a busy workweek. Inside the office lobby (大堂), colleagues rushed past, their footsteps echoing against the marble floors, each one lost in their own world of deadlines and to-do lists. Some were busy typing on the keyboard. Some were talking to clients on the phones, gesturing wildly trying to explain a campaign strategy. After swiping her ID card at the entrance, Sarah rushed toward the elevator. She pressed the button, impatiently tapping her foot as she waited. When the elevator arrived, she stepped inside, pressing the button for the 10th floor without a second thought. The doors closed, and she sighed, leaning against the wall as she took a sip of her coffee. The other passengers in the elevator were mostly strangers, their faces wearing the same tiredness that Sarah felt. A man in a suit stood nearby, checking his watch for the tenth time, while a woman in a business casual outfit carried a stack of papers, her eyes turning from one page to the next. But then, the lights started to flash, and a strange noise replaced the usual hum (嘈杂声). Sarah’s stomach dropped as the elevator suddenly came to a stop, trapping her between floors. Panic surged through her, but she managed to stay calm. She pressed the emergency button and spoke into the intercom, her voice trembling as she explained her situation. The operator assured her that help was on the way but warned it might take time due to the malfunction (故障). As the minutes ticked by, Sarah’s phone signal began to fade. 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。 Several minutes passed, but no help came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bang!

Panic began to set in. Sarah tried to ring the emergency alarm again. Every second that passed was painful. “Help!!!” She screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to get someone’s attention but in vain. A wave of despair crept over her. Other passengers in the elevator also started to show signs of distress. The man in the suit began to pace back and forth. The woman with the stack of papers let out a small cry of frustration and fear, clutching her papers tightly to her chest. Time passed slowly as they waited for a miracle. Bang! They were filled with renewed hope when they heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift. Relief flooded through them as they realized help was finally here. Moments later, the door was pulled open and fresh air rushed in. Letting out a sigh of relief, Sarah stepped out, her legs shaky as she took her first steps onto solid ground. Other passengers all exchanged brief, reassuring glances, as if sharing a silent acknowledgment that rescue was at hand. They thanked the firefighters before Sarah headed to her office, smiling. She knew her day would have its share of ups and downs, but she was ready to face them with hope and gratitude. （八） （2025·江苏苏北七市联考·二模） 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。 Growing up, I was always shy and unconfident in myself. Aside from my parents, I felt others found my shyness difficult to accept. It used to be something that affected my life in the most negative way possible. It made me unable to talk in any setting in which I felt uncomfortable. This means that I wasn’t even able to speak in class, chat with my friends, order my own food, etc. At the 5th grade, my parents moved to a neighbouring city because of the job relocation and I changed schools. I found myself in a new classroom with a new teacher, whom we called Ms. S, surrounded by 30 new faces. This was fairly terrifying. And so when I was asked to stand up and introduce myself, I was trembling. Still then, I was labelled as “shy and quiet”. I didn’t have a lot of friends, only spoke in class if I really had to, kept everything to myself, avoided public events, and panicked badly at the thought of oral presentations in class. This haunted (萦绕) me until one day, Ms. S announced in class that each of us was going to be singing a solo in front of the class. I’d had no idea that this was going to happen. When it was my turn, she called me up to the front, instructed the piano player to begin and I very unwillingly sang “Cuckoo, cuckoo, pray what do you do...” in a barely audible, high-pitched voice, with the rest of silent children staring up at me. Ms. S stood next to the piano, saying: “Louder! Louder! ” But I didn’t know how to project my voice; I couldn’t make it any louder. I was really upset at it. I cried for a few hours. I suspected my childhood shyness was largely unsupported in the new school. This even made me not want to go to school. 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。 After school, Ms. S asked me to go into her office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took her word for it and something shifted for me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After school, Ms. S asked me to go into her office. Though I was hesitant, I dragged myself to her office and Ms. S waved at me with a welcoming smile. As it turned out, not only was I allowed to make up for my poor performance, but Ms. S was the first person other than my parents to accept my shyness. She shared her own shyness story, and this really surprised me. Ms. S suggested I should go beyond my comfort zone by doing new activities. I took her word for it and something shifted for me. At first, I simply worked at feeling comfortable speaking in English and making new friends. Then when I was a bit more adapted to the school, I started talking to teachers. After that, I also started getting more involved in clubs and activities. Currently, I’m working at talking with more people and just being more open in general. I even voluntarily participated in a Science Fair, became vice-president of two clubs, and joined the public speaking club. （九） （2025·江苏南京中华中学·二模） 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。 When I adopted him, he had been rescued from death inside a tightly tied black trash bag abandoned right beside a garbage truck on the road. An alert garbage man noticed the bag moving and used a metal rake (耙子) to tear open the bag to look inside. There was my shaking puppy dog. The rake damaged the nerves in his back so he limped a little, but he could run as fast as lightning. For my dog’s first birthday, I entered him in a fun run sponsored by our local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I’m not much of a runner, but the run was only 3 kilometers, so I thought it would be fun for both of us. We practiced for weeks. On our practice runs, he was always eager to go and usually dragged me along behind him. I worked on his leash (拴狗链) manners so that he wouldn’t trip me on the big day. I felt we were ready for anything. The fun run was downtown among the big buildings, so the noise of barking dogs all around us rose to a deafening pitch at the start of the race. My dog was frightened when the starting tone went off. He had trouble running in the right direction with all the confusion around us. Soon the runners began to thin out, and my dog was running straight and fast. We were passing people and making great time. I was dreaming of a gold-medal finish. However, when we were six blocks from the finish, my dog suddenly stopped and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I almost dislocated my shoulder from the sudden stop as I was pulled backward by the leash. He was lying flat on his belly with his head down in the middle of the crossroads. At first I thought something bad had happened to him. He was shaking and sobbing. I did a quick check and couldn’t see anything wrong. I tried to get him up, but he refused. The police officer doing traffic control impatiently signed me to move away so he could release the cars. 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。 But I couldn’t get my seventy-five-pound dog to get up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Another half-block of carrying him brought the answer—a moving garbage truck. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】But I couldn’t get my seventy-five-pound dog to get up. The harder I tried to scoop him up from the pavement, the more he fought me. The officer yelling and cars honking, I pulled him with all my might, but in vain. Finally, I got my arm under him and lifted him up in a fireman’s carry, throwing him over my shoulder. As I staggered to the roadside, people around were taking my dog’s side, laughing I was running him too hard. I was fuming. My dog would run all day long and he wasn’t the least bit tired. Another half-block of carrying him brought the answer — a moving garbage truck. Its sound must have hit my dog’s sensitive ears, so he cried louder and clawed at my back as we drew closer to it. I held on tighter and ran as fast as I could to get my sweet baby dog away from that scary garbage truck. I ran with him on my shoulder until I felt him relaxed, and then I set him down. He wagged his tail in gratitude for saving him from the garbage truck. Surely, we didn’t win any medals, but I won his trust forever. （十） （2025·江苏南京·二模） 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。 It was 1975. I left school at 16 to work at the Tibooburra Pub, which had special significance for my family. The pub had first been run by my great-grandfather, Walter, back in 1913 and then he sold it. In the late 1940s, my grandfather bought it back. Having spent so much time there as a kid, 1 thought it was a great place to work in. Grandfather’s cheerful smile and comforting voice made those years precious to me. Unfortunately, grandfather died from a heart attack and the pub was eventually sold to a family, which meant I had to find work elsewhere. I then got a job at the local hospital and enjoyed it, though nothing felt the same as working for one’s own family. Aged 20, I connected with a man named Craig. Later we got married. Running a sheep property kept us busy, but one thing stayed on my mind. “I’d love to buy back the pub one day,” I said to Craig. Part of me still longed for the days of being behind the bar and welcoming customers with a smile, just like my grandfather had. In 2014, the pub came on the market again, so Craig and I went for it. Our offer was successful. Running it again was like stepping back in time; nothing much had changed, and I enjoyed slipping into my old job. But Craig and I had plans to expand. We used our savings and did some renovations (翻新), like putting in a beer garden outside and building more motel (汽车旅馆) rooms. I felt like I was not only doing a great business, but also keeping alive our family tradition. In February 2021, I went to the neighboring state to get some supplies and on the way back, I got a call from Craig. “There’s been a fire at the pub,” he cried. Being hours away was hard as I didn't know how bad the damage was. 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。 When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. The pub was reduced to a pile of ashes, with only the charred walls standing as a silent testament to its former self. The smell of smoke still lingered in the air, mixing with my tears. Craig stood there, equally devastated, as we surveyed the ruins. In that moment, it felt like all our dreams and efforts had gone up in flames. “We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. Despite the overwhelming loss, something inside me refused to give up. The pub wasn’t just a business. It was a part of our family’s legacy, a place where memories were made and traditions were kept alive. We would not let this define the end of our story. With determination in our hearts, we began the long process of reconstruction. We reached out to friends, family, and even the community for support. Together, we worked tirelessly, rebuilding each brick, each beam, with love and resilience. And when the dust settled, the Tibooburra Pub stood again, not just as a building, but as a symbol of hope and the enduring spirit of our family. （十一） （2025·江苏常州·二模） 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。 One rainy evening, as I was walking home from school, I heard a faint meowing coming from a nearby alley. Curiosity led me to investigate, and there, in a corner, huddle d a tiny, soaking wet kitten. Its eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. I couldn’t just leave it there. I scooped up the little creature and wrapped it in my jacket to keep it warm. When I got home, my parents were surprised to see me with a stray kitten, but they understood my concern and allowed me to keep it for the night. I dried the kitten with a towel and gave it some milk and a small blanket to sleep on. It purred softly, as if thanking me. That night, as I lay in bed, I thought-about-how the kitten must have been alone and scared in the cold rain. The next day, I took the kitten to the veterinarian to make sure it was healthy. The doctor said it was just a little undernourished and needed some love and care. I decided to name the kitten Luna. Over the next few weeks, Luna grew stronger and more playful. She would follow me around the house and curl up on my lap when I was reading. I was determined to find her a forever home. One sunny weekend, I organized a small adoption event in the neighborhood park. Many people came to see the cute kitten, but no one seemed quite the right fit. Just as I was starting to feel disheartened, a little girl approached with her parents. Her eyes lit up when she saw Luna, and she gently stroked the kitten’s fur. I could tell from the look on her face that she would give Luna all the love and attention she needed. With a heavy heart but a smile on my face, I handed Luna over to the little girl.

Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 1 / 28 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
