M: Interesting! You also taught at the Youth Music Academy last year. What was that like?
W: It changed me a lot. Teaching teens while working with excellent teachers showed me how different people create art together. This experience gives fresh ideas to any musician.
M: Amazing! We can’t wait for your tour. Thanks for sharing your time with us!

【答案】18. A 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our school’s Reading Improvement Month special event. Over the years, we’ve invited writers and librarians to share reading techniques. But today’s guest brings fresh ideas particularly suited to our digital age. We’re pleased to have Dr. Michael Brown with us. Dr. Brown is an award-winning education specialist from McGill University in Montreal. He first worked with primary schools in London, helped develop reading programs in Toronto, and now advises our city’s education department. Dr. Brown often mentions that modern students face unique challenges. Many believe reading fewer books is acceptable because they read countless social media posts daily. However, short online articles don’t train our brains like full-length books do, which are important for developing critical thinking. What’s worse, some people claim “speed-reading apps can replace traditional reading” — Dr. Brown says these lack scientific evidence. He won’t tell us exactly what to read, but will teach us how to balance digital and paper books, and choose proper reading materials for different ages. Let’s give a warm welcome to Dr. Brown, who will help us fall in love with deep reading again!

Like many high school students, Dio is a 15-year-old sports and music lover. However, unlike many others his age, Dio has faced-and conquered-unthinkable health challenges over the past year. It’s hard to believe he couldn’t speak or walk less than a year ago.
Dio, then a freshman in high school, went from daily sports practices to being unable to open his right hand. Dio’s mother took him to hospital, where they received shocking and frightening news: Dio had a brain tumor (瘤). Within three days, he received a successful 13-hour operation. But while recovering in hospital, Dio had a stroke (中风), which left him unable to feel or use the right side of his body and unable to communicate. “I was faced with a really big mountain to climb, but I was determined to make it through,” shares Dio.
He stayed in hospital to receive physical, speech and language therapy (治疗). Before his stroke, Dio had taught himself to play both the piano and guitar and listened to music any chance he could. Blake French, Dio’s Speech therapist, had read several research studies on the benefits of music for patients. So, once she learned that singing and music were areas of strength for Dio, she regularly applied it to the therapy. Together, Dio and Blake sang familiar songs, one word at a time. Music helped Dio communicate so much better, and helped him recover his confidence. Months later, Dio was allowed to go back to school.
Although he cannot play sports anymore now, he still plays the guitar and piano. “Music has enabled me to talk normally again. It got me over a really big mountain I was determined to climb,” shares Dio. “And now that I’m past it, I’m even more positive and confident.”
24. What happened to Dio when he was a high school freshman?
A. He faced serious health issues. B. He had a stroke before the operation.
C. He received a heart operation. D. He was hurt in a daily sports practice.
25. Why did Blake sing songs with Dio?
A. To communicate better. B. To use the power of music.
C. To become more confident. D. To share her love for music.
26. What can be used to describe Dio?
A. Humorous and athletic. B. Patient and determined.
C. Easy-going and organised. D. Strong-willed and positive.
27. What does Dio’s experience suggest?
A. Music bridges the gap between people. B. Music makes education more successful.
C. Music is the medicine of a troubled mind. D. Music is the language of all human beings.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C

Music helped Dio communicate so much better, and helped him recover his confidence. (迪奥的语言治疗师布莱克·弗伦奇读过几项关于音乐对患者益处的研究。因此,一旦她知道唱歌和音乐是迪奥的强项,她就会定期将其应用于治疗。迪奥和布莱克一起唱熟悉的歌,一次唱一个字。音乐帮助迪奥更好地交流,并帮助他恢复自信。)”可知,布莱克和迪奥一起唱歌是为了利用音乐的力量。故选B。
【26题详解】

C
Errors can be gateways to new ideas. In 1888, Lee Kum Sheung, a young cook in southern China, forgot the oyster soup he was cooking until it became thick and sticky. Once Lee discovered how tasty the soup was, he started selling it in bottles. That lucky mistake made his family later the fourth-richest one in Hong Kong.
But not every mistake brings luck. They lead not to riches but, usually, to embarrassment and self-doubt. Still, even the worst mistake can prove to be useful.
Some mistakes happen for a lack of experience. Katharine Graham made endless errors that could have been avoided after she became the publisher of the Washington Post overnight, following her husband’s sudden death. She was determined to prevent them from happening again. Later Graham developed the Washington Post from a city newspaper into a respected national one.
Of course, even those with plenty of experience can fail. So how can individuals and companies approach mistakes? In her book Right Kind of Wrong, Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School, explores how to build a healthy relationship with failure. She argues that excellence requires taking risks. The important thing is to establish what needs to be done differently next time.
Ms. Edmondson also argues that neither people nor organisations can learn if they don’t admit that an error has happened. Instead, failures need to be carefully examined. That may mean having a process in place to signal when things have gone wrong. Workers on Toyota’s production lines, for example, can press a button to raise the alarm when problems occur at its car factories, allowing the team to work out what has gone wrong and where.
You cannot error-proof your life. But you can seek to improve. And if all else fails, looking at problems in different ways might help. Your mistake may seem big now, but history has bigger ones. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to America for just $7.2 million — a price far lower than its real value, which was a much bigger mistake than any of yours.
28. What can we learn from Lee’s story?
A. Efforts matter on the road to success B. Originality may come along by mistake.
C. Good luck results from good preparations. D. Small mistakes can bring about big disasters.
29. Why did Katharine Graham make many unnecessary mistakes in the beginning?
A. She was irresponsible. B. She was unconfident.
C. She was inexperienced. D. She was unconcerned.
30. What is stressed by mentioning Toyota’s workers?
A. Taking risks to pursue excellence. B. Checking production lines carefully
C. Having ways to warn of problems. D. Doing things differently after failures.
31. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Avoiding mistakes is impossible. B. Correcting mistakes is beneficial.
C. Regretting mistakes is meaningless. D. Apologising for mistakes is necessary.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过多个实例阐述了错误可能带来新发现,并探讨了如何以正确态度面对错误、从错误中学习以实现个人和组织的成长与进步。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Errors can be gateways to new ideas. In 1888, Lee Kum Sheung, a young cook in southern China, forgot the oyster soup he was cooking until it became thick and sticky. Once Lee discovered how tasty the soup was, he started selling it in bottles. That lucky mistake made his family later the fourth-richest one in Hong Kong. (错误可能是新想法的入口。1888年,中国南方的一位年轻厨师李锦裳在煮蚝汤时忘记了,直到汤变得又浓又粘。当李锦裳发现这汤味道很鲜美后,他开始将其装瓶售卖。这个幸运的错误让他的家族后来成为香港第四大富豪)”可知,李锦裳因为一个错误发现了美味的蚝油,并因此致富,这说明创新可能源于错误。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some mistakes happen for a lack of experience. Katharine Graham made endless errors that could have been avoided after she became the publisher of the Washington Post overnight, following her husband’s sudden death. (有些错误是由于缺乏经验造成的。凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆在丈夫突然去世后一夜之间成为《华盛顿邮报》的出版人,她犯了无数本可以避免的错误)”可推知,凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆最初犯错是因为缺乏经验。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“That may mean having a process in place to signal when things have gone wrong. Workers on Toyota’s production lines, for example, can press a button to raise the alarm when problems occur at its car factories, allowing the team to work out what has gone wrong and where. (这可能意味着要有一个流程来指示何时出了问题。例如,丰田汽车生产线的工人在汽车工厂出现问题时可以按下按钮发出警报,让团队找出哪里出了问题)”可推知,提及丰田工人是为了强调有办法警示问题。故选C。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中划线句子后文“But you can seek to improve. And if all else fails, looking at problems in different ways might help. Your mistake may seem big now, but history has bigger ones. (但你可以寻求改进。如果其他方法都失败了,从不同的角度看待问题可能会有所帮助。你的错误现在看起来可能很大,但历史上还有更大的错误)”可推知,“You cannot error-proof your life.”的意思是“你不可能让你的生活不出错”,即避免错误是不可能的。故选A。
D
Scientists working in Indonesia have observed an orangutan (猩猩) intentionally treating a wound on his face with a medical plant, the first time this behaviour has been documented.
According to a paper published in Scientific Reports, Rakus, a male orangutan, treated a facial wound by chewing (咀嚼) leaves from a plant and then covered the wound with the chewed leaves, which are used in traditional medicine to treat certain illnesses. The study’s lead author Isabelle Laumer said the team were “very excited” by the observation. Although other wild primates (灵长类动物) are known to use plants that have medical effects, scientists have never seen them used to treat recent wounds.
The team believe Rakus intentionally used the plant as he applied it over and over again in a process that took several minutes. Rakus was most likely hurt in a fight with another male orangutan, which is not common in this area due to plenty of food and good relationships between orangutans. This means orangutans seldom suffer wounds, giving researchers few opportunities to observe this behaviour.
As for how Rakus learnt to treat his wound, one explanation is “accidental individual invention”. The orangutan may have touched his wound accidentally while feeding on the plant and felt immediate pain relief due to its pain-relieving effects, making him repeat the behaviour. Another explanation is that Rakus learned from other orangutans in the area where he was born.
The observation provides new understanding about the existence of self-treatment in our closest relatives and how wound treatment began in evolution, added Laumer, raising the possibility that wound treatment may come from a common ancestor shared by humans and orangutans. Thus researchers plan to closely observe other orangutans in the area to see if the behaviour is repeated. “The findings indicate how much humans and orangutans have in common. We are more similar than different,” she said. “We hope this study raises awareness of how to protect these endangered animals in the wild.”
32. Why is Rakus thought to have used the plant on purpose?
A. He managed to tell the plant from others. B. He taught his partners to do the same thing.
C. He repeated the behaviour in a certain period. D. He had used plants with medical effects before.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The individual invention Rakus designed. B. The possible ways Rakus learnt self-treatment.
C. The delicious plants Rakus fed on accidentally. D. The immediate pain relief Rakus got from the plant.
34. What do the researchers plan to do?
A. Analyze the findings. B. Identify more evidence.
C. Prove the significance. D. Consider more possibilities.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Plant Is Found to Treat Animal Wound B. Orangutans Include Plant in their Diet
C. Scientists Discover New Medical Plant D. Orangutan Uses Plant to Deal with Injury
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科学家在印度尼西亚观察到一只雄性猩猩Rakus用具有药用价值的植物有意治疗面部伤口,并探讨了这种行为的可能来源及意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The team believe Rakus intentionally used the plant as he applied it over and over again in a process that took several minutes. (研究小组认为,Rakus是有意使用这种植物的,因为它在一遍又一遍地涂抹过程中花费了好几分钟。)”可知,Rakus被认为是有意使用这种植物是因为他在一段时间内重复了这种行为。故选C。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“As for how Rakus learnt to treat his wound, one explanation is “accidental individual invention”. The orangutan may have touched his wound accidentally while feeding on the plant and felt immediate pain relief due to its pain-relieving effects, making him repeat the behaviour. Another explanation is that Rakus learned from other orangutans in the area where he was born. (至于Rakus是如何学会治疗伤口的,一种解释是“偶然的个人发明”。猩猩可能在吃这种植物时不小心碰到了伤口,由于这种植物的止痛作用,他立即感到疼痛缓解,这使他重复了这种行为。另一种解释是,Rakus从他出生地的其他猩猩那里学到的。)”可知,第四段主要讲的是Rakus学习自我治疗的可能方式。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Thus researchers plan to closely observe other orangutans in the area to see if the behaviour is repeated. (因此,研究人员计划密切观察该地区的其他猩猩,看看这种行为是否会重复出现。)”可知,研究人员计划找出更多的证据。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Scientists working in Indonesia have observed an orangutan (猩猩) intentionally treating a wound on his face with a medical plant, the first time this behaviour has been documented. (在印度尼西亚工作的科学家观察到一只猩猩故意用一种药用植物治疗自己脸上的伤口,这是首次记录到这种行为。)”可知,文章主要讲述了科学家在印度尼西亚观察到一只雄性猩猩Rakus用具有药用价值的植物有意治疗面部伤口,并探讨了这种行为的可能来源及意义。可知,D选项“Orangutan Uses Plant to Deal with Injury (猩猩用植物治疗伤口)”最符合文章标题。故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Joel’s life had been full of struggles since losing his parents, but everything changed when Sally took him in. Sally, a kind-hearted woman who made a living selling lemonade (柠檬水) in her community, carefully took care of Joel and patiently taught him how to behave properly and value integrity (诚实). Joel, in turn, was a helpful and honest boy who brought joy to Sally’s life. Their days were filled with laughter and shared dreams.
However, their happy life fell apart when Sally developed a serious heart disease. The doctor recommended a major operation, but the $150,000 cost was far beyond their reach. Facing this challenge, Joel felt a growing sense of responsibility to do something.
Determined to help, Joel reopened Sally’s lemonade stand (货摊) to raise money. With hope in his heart, he painted a bright new sign: crossed lemons over a pink heart, inspired by the symbol on Sally’s hospital wristband (腕带). Every early morning, he set up the stand, juicing lemons and greeting customers with a bright smile. The community responded warmly, buying extra cups and leaving tips.
One sunny afternoon, a well-dressed man stopped by the stand and studied the sign before ordering three cups of lemonade. “Keep the change,” he said, handing Joel a $100 bill. Joel immediately recognized him as Mr. Dome, a wealthy businessman who often helped the community, and thanked him sincerely. After learning about Sally’s illness, Mr. Dome became a regular visitor, often buying lemonade and leaving generous tips. His kindness, along with the community’s support, gave Joel the strength to keep running the stand for Sally.
Week after week, however, the money came in too slowly, and Sally’s savings were running out. Joel grew more anxious as Sally’s once lively spirit faded. One evening, weighed down by worry, Joel walked the streets aimlessly, his mind heavy with despair. Suddenly, a shiny wallet lying on the ground caught his eye.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Joel leaned down and picked up the wallet.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moved by Joel’s honesty, Mr. Dome made a decision.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Joel leaned down and picked up the wallet. As he opened it, his eyes widened at the sight of a large sum of cash. This unexpected fortune could help save Sally’s life. He was torn between his love for Sally and his moral principles, but Sally’s teachings about honesty rang clear in his head. Then he noticed a business card with the name Mr. James Dome. Joel recalled the generous man who had supported his lemonade stand. Taking a deep breath, Joel held the wallet tightly, headed toward the address on the card, and returned it to its owner.
Moved by Joel’s honesty, Mr. Dome made a decision. “Let me cover the costs you need,” he said with a warm smile. “Your integrity deserves to be rewarded.” Joel’s heart raced, a mix of disbelief and gratitude flooding over him. “Thank you... thank you so much,” he managed to say, his voice shaking with emotion. Soon, with Mr. Dome’s support, Sally received a successful operation, her strength steadily returning day by day. Watching Sally recover and their future brighten, Joel learned a valuable lesson: even in life’s darkest moments, kindness from others and personal honesty can light the way forward.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Joel父母离世后被善良的Sally收留,二人生活幸福。但Sally患重病需手术,费用高昂,Joel重开柠檬水摊筹钱,在各方帮助下仍进展缓慢,他焦虑绝望时在路上发现了一个钱包。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“Joel弯腰捡起钱包。”和第二段首句“Dome先生被Joel的诚实所感动,做出决定。”可知,续写第一段应描写Joel捡到钱包的反应以及最终决定归还钱包。此段可以通过Joel的心理描写,展现他的矛盾和品质。
②由第二段句首内容“Dome先生被Joel的诚实所感动,做出决定。”可知,第二段应描写失主Dome决定帮助Joel渡过难关,Sally获得手术机会。结尾可以通过Joel的内心感悟升华主题。
2.续写线索:捡到钱包发现现金 —— 内心挣扎 —— 看到名片想起 Mr. Dome—— 决定还钱包 ——Mr. Dome 被感动决定帮忙 ——Sally 手术成功康复 ——Joel 领悟道理
3.词汇激活
行为类
①深呼吸:take a deep breath/inhale deeply/breathe deeply
②紧紧握住钱包:hold the wallet tightly/grasp the wallet firmly/clutch the wallet hard
③归还:return/give back
情绪类

Like many high school students, Dio is a 15-year-old sports and music lover. However, unlike many others his age, Dio has faced-and conquered-unthinkable health challenges over the past year. It’s hard to believe he couldn’t speak or walk less than a year ago.
Dio, then a freshman in high school, went from daily sports practices to being unable to open his right hand. Dio’s mother took him to hospital, where they received shocking and frightening news: Dio had a brain tumor (瘤). Within three days, he received a successful 13-hour operation. But while recovering in hospital, Dio had a stroke (中风), which left him unable to feel or use the right side of his body and unable to communicate. “I was faced with a really big mountain to climb, but I was determined to make it through,” shares Dio.
He stayed in hospital to receive physical, speech and language therapy (治疗). Before his stroke, Dio had taught himself to play both the piano and guitar and listened to music any chance he could. Blake French, Dio’s Speech therapist, had read several research studies on the benefits of music for patients. So, once she learned that singing and music were areas of strength for Dio, she regularly applied it to the therapy. Together, Dio and Blake sang familiar songs, one word at a time. Music helped Dio communicate so much better, and helped him recover his confidence. Months later, Dio was allowed to go back to school.
Although he cannot play sports anymore now, he still plays the guitar and piano. “Music has enabled me to talk normally again. It got me over a really big mountain I was determined to climb,” shares Dio. “And now that I’m past it, I’m even more positive and confident.”
24. What happened to Dio when he was a high school freshman?
A. He faced serious health issues. B. He had a stroke before the operation.
C. He received a heart operation. D. He was hurt in a daily sports practice.
25. Why did Blake sing songs with Dio?
A. To communicate better. B. To use the power of music.
C. To become more confident. D. To share her love for music.
26. What can be used to describe Dio?
A. Humorous and athletic. B. Patient and determined.
C. Easy-going and organised. D. Strong-willed and positive.
27. What does Dio’s experience suggest?
A. Music bridges the gap between people. B. Music makes education more successful.
C Music is the medicine of a troubled mind. D. Music is the language of all human beings.

Errors can be gateways to new ideas. In 1888, Lee Kum Sheung, a young cook in southern China, forgot the oyster soup he was cooking until it became thick and sticky. Once Lee discovered how tasty the soup was, he started selling it in bottles. That lucky mistake made his family later the fourth-richest one in Hong Kong.
But not every mistake brings luck. They lead not to riches but, usually, to embarrassment and self-doubt. Still, even the worst mistake can prove to be useful.
Some mistakes happen for a lack of experience. Katharine Graham made endless errors that could have been avoided after she became the publisher of the Washington Post overnight, following her husband’s sudden death. She was determined to prevent them from happening again. Later Graham developed the Washington Post from a city newspaper into a respected national one.
Of course even those with plenty of experience can fail. So how can individuals and companies approach mistakes? In her book Right Kind of Wrong, Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School, explores how to build a healthy relationship with failure. She argues that excellence requires taking risks. The important thing is to establish what needs to be done differently next time.
Ms. Edmondson also argues that neither people nor organisations can learn if they don’t admit that an error has happened. Instead, failures need to be carefully examined. That may mean having a process in place to signal when things have gone wrong. Workers on Toyota’s production lines, for example, can press a button to raise the alarm when problems occur at its car factories, allowing the team to work out what has gone wrong and where.
You cannot error-proof your life. But you can seek to improve. And if all else fails looking at problems in different ways might help. Your mistake may seem big now, but history has bigger ones. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to America for just $7.2 million — a price far lower than its real value, which was a much bigger mistake than any of yours.
28. What can we learn from Lee’s story?
A. Efforts matter on the road to success B. Originality may come along by mistake.
C. Good luck results from good preparations. D. Small mistakes can bring about big disasters.
29. Why did Katharine Graham make many unnecessary mistakes in the beginning?
A. She was irresponsible. B. She was unconfident.
C. She was inexperienced. D. She was unconcerned.
30. What is stressed by mentioning Toyota’s workers?
A. Taking risks to pursue excellence. B. Checking production lines carefully
C. Having ways to warn of problems. D. Doing things differently after failures.
31. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Avoiding mistakes is impossible. B. Correcting mistakes is beneficial.
C. Regretting mistakes is meaningless. D. Apologising for mistakes is necessary.

Scientists working in Indonesia have observed an orangutan (猩猩) intentionally treating a wound on his face with a medical plant, the first time this behaviour has been documented.
According to a paper published in Scientific Reports, Rakus, a male orangutan, treated a facial wound by chewing (咀嚼) leaves from a plant and then covered the wound with the chewed leaves, which are used in traditional medicine to treat certain illnesses. The study’s lead author Isabelle Laumer said the team were “very excited” by the observation. Although other wild primates (灵长类动物) are known to use plants that have medical effects, scientists have never seen them used to treat recent wounds.
The team believe Rakus intentionally used the plant as he applied it over and over again in a process that took several minutes. Rakus was most likely hurt in a fight with another male orangutan, which is not common in this area due to plenty of food and good relationships between orangutans. This means orangutans seldom suffer wounds, giving researchers few opportunities to observe this behaviour.
As for how Rakus learnt to treat his wound, one explanation is “accidental individual invention”. The orangutan may have touched his wound accidentally while feeding on the plant and felt immediate pain relief due to its pain-relieving effects, making him repeat the behaviour. Another explanation is that Rakus learned from other orangutans in the area where he was born.
The observation provides new understanding about the existence of self-treatment in our closest relatives and how wound treatment began in evolution, added Laumer, raising the possibility that wound treatment may come from a common ancestor shared by humans and orangutans. Thus researchers plan to closely observe other orangutans in the area to see if the behaviour is repeated. “The findings indicate how much humans and orangutans have in common. We are more similar than different,” she said. “We hope this study raises awareness of how to protect these endangered animals in the wild.”
32. Why is Rakus thought to have used the plant on purpose?
A. He managed to tell the plant from others. B. He taught his partners to do the same thing.
C. He repeated the behaviour in a certain period. D. He had used plants with medical effects before.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The individual invention Rakus designed. B. The possible ways Rakus learnt self-treatment.
C. The delicious plants Rakus fed on accidentally. D. The immediate pain relief Rakus got from the plant.
34. What do the researchers plan to do?
A. Analyze the findings. B. Identify more evidence.
C. Prove the significance. D. Consider more possibilities.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Plant Is Found to Treat Animal Wound B. Orangutans Include Plant in their Diet
C. Scientists Discover New Medical Plant D. Orangutan Uses Plant to Deal with Injury

67. 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。
Joel’s life had been full of struggles since losing his parents, but everything changed when Sally took him in. Sally, a kind-hearted woman who made a living selling lemonade (柠檬水) in her community, carefully took care of Joel and patiently taught him how to behave properly and value integrity (诚实). Joel, in turn, was a helpful and honest boy who brought joy to Sally’s life. Their days were filled with laughter and shared dreams.
However, their happy life fell apart when Sally developed a serious heart disease. The doctor recommended a major operation, but the $150,000 cost was far beyond their reach. Facing this challenge, Joel felt a growing sense of responsibility to do something.
Determined to help, Joel reopened Sally’s lemonade stand (货摊) to raise money. With hope in his heart, he painted a bright new sign: crossed lemons over a pink heart, inspired by the symbol on Sally’s hospital wristband (腕带). Every early morning, he set up the stand, juicing lemons and greeting customers with a bright smile. The community responded warmly, buying extra cups and leaving tips.
One sunny afternoon, a well-dressed man stopped by the stand and studied the sign before ordering three cups of lemonade. “Keep the change,” he said, handing Joel a $100 bill. Joel immediately recognized him as Mr. Dome, a wealthy businessman who often helped the community, and thanked him sincerely. After learning about Sally’s illness, Mr. Dome became a regular visitor, often buying lemonade and leaving generous tips. His kindness, along with the community’s support, gave Joel the strength to keep running the stand for Sally.
Week after week, however, the money came in too slowly, and Sally’s savings were running out. Joel grew more anxious as Sally’s once lively spirit faded. One evening, weighed down by worry, Joel walked the streets aimlessly, his mind heavy with despair. Suddenly, a shiny wallet lying on the ground caught his eye.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Joel leaned down and picked up the wallet.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moved by Joel’s honesty, Mr. Dome made a decision.
