Robots seem to be getting more and more advanced, as these four examples clearly show.
Budgee was created by Five Elements Robotics. With two wheels and a little basket, he can carry things for you while you’re at the shops or in the park. You can communicate with him by using an app on your phone, and set basic commands (命令) such as the distance he has to walk behind you. Budgee can hold up to 22 kilograms and fold up into a small package that weighs just over 2 kilograms.
Simon was developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology. He’s an upper-body robot that can pick up and put down objects, clean up a workspace and interact with humans. In tests, Simon could tell whether someone was ignoring him or paying attention.
Rover was created by a team at Sydney University and has been used to watch and look after cows. The test version (版本) needs to be operated by a human but in the future they’re hoping to develop a fully self-working version. Rover can also monitor animals that are about to give birth, gather data on soil, and detect problems with electric fences.
Paro was designed by Takanori Shibata. He’s a healing robot that’s used on patients in hospitals and nursing homes. He can respond to sounds, learn a name and even show emotions such as surprise, happiness and anger. He’s active during the day and he sleeps at night.
1. What can Budgee do according to the text?
A. Monitor the health of cows. B. Clean up a messy workspace.
C. Communicate with users directly. D. Carry shopping bags for users.
2. Which of the following robots is used for agriculture purposes?

Jon Fosse, a Norwegian novelist, poet and playwright, has found a growing audience in the English-speaking world for his novels with themes of aging, death, love and art. In 2023, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his innovative (创新的) plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.
Fosse has published around 40 plays, novels, poetry, and children’s books, and his works have been translated into about 50 languages. One of his works, Septology, tells the story of two old artists who may be the same person—one is successful, the other struggles with an alcohol problem. Given its exploration of identity, Fosse was asked what he aimed to convey to readers in his work. “I hope they can find a kind of peace in, or from, my writing,” he said. He hoped to pass on a feeling of serenity.
Fosse was born in 1959 in Norway, and grew up on a small farm. He began writing poems at 12 and it helped him create a space where he felt safe. He writes in Nynorsk, a less common form of Norwegian, which he says is simply the language of his childhood. Critics (评论家) compare his style to Nobel winners Beckett and Pinter, noting how Norway’s natural environment shapes his stories.
Although he had been seen as a favorite for the Nobel for many years, Fosse said he was “both really happy and really surprised” to receive the award. “I have been among the favorites for 10 years, and felt sure that I would never get the prize,” he said. “I simply cannot believe it.”
4. Why did Jon Fosse win the Nobel Prize in Literature?
A. For promoting Nynorsk language. B. For exploring unspoken life themes.
C. For writing popular plays and prose. D. For translating his works into English.
5. What does the underlined word “serenity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Sadness. B. Tension. C. Excitement. D. Calmness.
6. What mainly influences Fosse’s storytelling style?
A. His early career. B. Critics’ comments and support.
C. Norway’s scenery. D. The works of other Prize winners.
7. How did Fosse respond to the Nobel Prize?
A. Confident and proud. B. Anxious and uncertain.
C. Uninterested and cold. D. Surprised and delighted.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jon Fosse的文学成就及获奖感受。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段中“In 2023, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his innovative (创新的) plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.(2023年,他因创新性的戏剧和散文而获得诺贝尔文学奖,这些作品表达了无法言说的心声)”可知,Jon Fosse因其探索未言明的生活主题而获得诺贝尔文学奖。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第二段中“Given its exploration of identity, Fosse was asked what he aimed to convey to readers in his work. “I hope they can find a kind of peace in, or from, my writing,” he said. He hoped to pass on a feeling of serenity.(鉴于其对身份的探索,有人问Fosse他想在他的作品中向读者传达什么。“我希望他们能从我的作品中找到一种平静,”他说。他希望能传递一种serenity的感觉)”可知,Fosse希望读者从他的作品中找到平静,serenity与peace意思相近,表示一种平静、安宁的状态。由此猜测划线词意为“平静”,与calmness同义。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Critics (评论家) compare his style to Nobel winners Beckett and Pinter, noting how Norway’s natural environment shapes his stories.(评论家将他的风格与诺贝尔奖得主贝克特和品特相提并论,指出挪威的自然环境如何塑造了他的故事)”可知,挪威的风景主要影响了Fosse的讲故事风格。故选C。
7题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“Although he had been seen as a favorite for the Nobel for many years, Fosse said he was ‘both really happy and really surprised’ to receive the award.(尽管多年来Fosse一直被视为诺贝尔奖的热门人选,但他说,获得这个奖项他“既非常高兴又非常惊讶”)”可知,Fosse对获得诺贝尔奖感到既惊讶又高兴。故选D。

You’ve probably heard of Slow Food, but now there’s a new addition to the global “Slow Movement”: Slow TV. But what’s it all about? Journalist Carlo Petrini started the Slow Food movement in Rome in 1986. It was a form to protest against the plan to open a McDonald’s restaurant at the Spanish Steps, a famous tourist place in the city.
The objective of the Slow Food movement is to promote the use of fresh, local food that’s grown with sustainable (可持续性的) farming techniques, and that you can enjoy in the company of friends and family. The movement has over 83,000 members in 50 countries, which are organised into 800 friendly groups.
Slow Food soon became part of a more general Slow Movement. In his book In Praise of Slowness, Carl Honoré wrote, “The Slow Movement is challenging the idea that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed. It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.”
The movement covers lots of areas, including Slow Travel, Slow Gardening, Slow Work and Slow Education. Now, there’s a new one, Slow TV. Norway’s NRK broadcasts a TV programme on wood burning that lasts for 12 hours! The show features specialists who give advice on how to collect and burn wood. Other Slow TV shows from Norway include more than 8 hours of painting, 18 hours of fish laying eggs and 130 hours of a ship sailing up the Norwegian coast.
8. Why was the Slow Food movement started in 1986?
A. To advertise fast food. B. To be against McDonald’s at a site.
C. To develop local tourism. D. To expand international business.
9. What is the core idea of the Slow Movement?
A. The more, the better. B. Value speed more than quality.
C. The sooner, the better. D. Do everything at the right pace.
10. How does the author introduce Slow TV in the last paragraph?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By telling stories. D. By making a comparison.
11. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Lifestyle. B. News. C. Technology. D. Advertisement.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“慢食运动”的起源及其发展出的“慢生活运动”,并介绍了新兴的“慢电视”这一文化现象。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was a form to protest against the plan to open a McDonald’s restaurant at the Spanish Steps, a famous tourist place in the city.(这是一种抗议在该市著名旅游景点西班牙台阶开设麦当劳餐厅计划的形式)”可知,1986年发起慢食运动是为了反对在某个地点开设麦当劳。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed.(慢哲学并非是以蜗牛般的速度做所有事。而是力求以合适的速度做所有事)”可知,“慢运动”的核心理念是以合适的节奏做所有事。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。从最后一段“Norway’s NRK broadcasts a TV programme on wood burning that lasts for 12 hours! The show features specialists who give advice on how to collect and burn wood. Other Slow TV shows from Norway include more than 8 hours of painting, 18 hours of fish laying eggs and 130 hours of a ship sailing up the Norwegian coast.(挪威的NRK电视台播出一档长达12小时的关于烧柴的电视节目!该节目有专家提供关于如何收集和燃烧木材的建议。挪威的其他慢电视节目包括超过8小时的绘画、18小时的鱼产卵过程以及130小时的船只沿挪威海岸航行)”可知,作者通过列举挪威电视台播出的不同慢电视节目,如烧柴节目、绘画节目、鱼产卵节目以及船只航行节目等例子来介绍慢电视。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。主要介绍了全球“慢运动”,从1986年在罗马发起的慢食运动说起,该运动旨在反对在特定地点开设麦当劳,推广使用新鲜、本地且以可持续农业技术种植的食物。之后慢食运动融入更广泛的“慢运动”,其核心理念是倡导以合适的速度做所有事。文章还介绍了“慢运动”涵盖的多个领域,并通过举例的方式引入了“慢电视”这一新兴部分。所以这篇文章最有可能出现在杂志的“生活方式”板块,故选A项。
D
A recent study led by Professor Shintaro Sato from Waseda University, Japan, suggests that watching sports can significantly improve well-being (幸福). The researchers combined large-scale data analysis, online surveys, and neuroimaging techniques to explore the effects of sports viewing on mental health.
In the first part of the study, the team analyzed data from 20,000 Japanese residents. They found that regular sports viewers consistently (持续地) reported higher well-being compared to non-viewers. However, this part of the study couldn’t explain how sports viewing directly impacts well-being. To explore further, the researchers conducted an online survey with 208 participants. They found that watching popular sports, like baseball, led to greater increases in well-being than less popular ones, such as golf.
The most groundbreaking findings came from the neuroimaging study. Using MRI scans, the team monitored the brain activity of 14 participants while they watched sports videos. They discovered that sports viewing started the brain’s reward system, linked to feelings of pleasure and happiness. Moreover, individuals who regularly watched sports had greater gray matter volume in these brain regions, suggesting that consistent viewing could lead to structural brain changes over time.
The study highlights both short-term and long-term benefits of watching sports. In the short term, it boosts (提升、促进) mood and happiness, while regular viewing may strengthen the brain’s reward system, promoting long-term emotional well-being.
The researchers stress that people can watch widely enjoyed sports, such as baseball or soccer, to improve mental health. They also think this study gives ideas for public health policies, suggesting that promoting sports viewing could be a tool to support well-being on a larger scale.
12. What method was used in the first stage of the research?
A. Online surveys. B. Neuroimaging study.
C. Data analysis. D. Face-to-face interviews.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. Research process. B. Key findings.
C. Research significance. D. Initial findings.
14. What is the function of the last paragraph?
A. To provide practical suggestions. B. To introduce benefits of playing sports.
C. To question previous study results. D. To summarize findings of earlier research.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Watching Sports: A Boost for Well-being B. Sports Fans: A Study on Their Lifestyle
C. Creative Ways to Improve Physical Fitness D. Strong Urge to Build Better Health Policies
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了观看体育比赛对提升幸福感的积极作用及相关研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中“In the first part of the study, the team analyzed data from 20,000 Japanese residents.(在研究的第一部分,研究小组分析了20000名日本居民的数据)”可知,研究的第一阶段使用了数据分析的方法。故选C。
【13题详解】
段落大意题。 根据第三段“The most groundbreaking findings came from the neuroimaging study. Using MRI scans, the team monitored the brain activity of 14 participants while they watched sports videos. They discovered that sports viewing started the brain’s reward system, linked to feelings of pleasure and happiness. Moreover, individuals who regularly watched sports had greater gray matter volume in these brain regions, suggesting that consistent viewing could lead to structural brain changes over time.(最具开创性的发现来自神经影像学研究。研究小组利用核磁共振扫描,监测了14名参与者在观看体育视频时的大脑活动。他们发现,观看体育比赛会启动大脑的奖励系统,与愉悦和幸福的感觉有关。此外,经常观看体育比赛的人在这些大脑区域的灰质体积更大,这表明持续观看体育比赛可能会导致大脑结构随时间发生变化)”可知,第三段主要介绍了神经影像学研究的关键发现,包括观看体育比赛对大脑奖励系统的影响以及长期观看可能带来的大脑结构变化。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段“The researchers stress that people can watch widely enjoyed sports, such as baseball or soccer, to improve mental health. They also think this study gives ideas for public health policies, suggesting that promoting sports viewing could be a tool to support well-being on a larger scale.(研究人员强调,人们可以观看广受欢迎的体育项目,如棒球或足球,以改善心理健康。他们还认为,这项研究为公共卫生政策提供了思路,表明推广体育观看可能是支持更大范围福祉的工具)”可知,最后一段主要是基于前面的研究结果,给出了实际的建议,即观看广受欢迎的体育项目可以改善心理健康,并认为这项研究可以为公共卫生政策提供思路。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第一段“A recent study led by Professor Shintaro Sato from Waseda University, Japan, suggests that watching sports can significantly improve well-being (幸福). The researchers combined large-scale data analysis, online surveys, and neuroimaging techniques to explore the effects of sports viewing on mental health.(日本早稻田大学的佐藤慎太郎教授最近领导的一项研究表明,观看体育比赛可以显著提高幸福感。研究人员结合大规模数据分析、在线调查和神经成像技术,探讨了观看体育比赛对心理健康的影响)”以及结合文章可知,本文主要介绍了观看体育比赛对心理健康的积极影响,包括短期和长期的好处,以及研究对公共卫生政策的启示。可知,A选项“观看体育比赛:提升幸福感”最符合文章主旨,适合用作标题。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When most of us get a text from an unknown number, we’d probably ignore it without a second thought. But on that quiet March evening, Dennis Williams was sitting at his kitchen table, enjoying a cup of coffee, when the screen of his phone lit up with a message from a stranger named Teresa: “They’re at the hospital! Lindsey’s ready to give birth. Come soon!” Confused, Dennis replied, “Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken.”
But the texts kept coming. As the baby was born, Teresa, the overjoyed grandmother, shared photos and updates — unaware she was messaging a stranger. She sent photos of the baby’s tiny fingers, updates on Lindsey’s recovery, even a photo of the hospital room decorated with blue balloons. As Dennis scrolled through them, he found himself smiling at the stranger’s happiness. Dennis could sense the family’s excitement. “Maybe I should send a gift,” he thought. The idea hit him suddenly. His friends, when he mentioned it, laughed. “You don’t even know them.” But Dennis couldn’t shake the image of that tiny baby in the photos, or Teresa’s thrilled texts. “Every new life deserves a little celebration,” he insisted.
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。
Two days later, Dennis showed up at the hospital.

Teresa, realizing her mistake, was both embarrassed and grateful.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Two days later, Dennis showed up at the hospital. He carried a beautifully wrapped gift box and a bouquet of fresh flowers. Walking into the hospital room, he smiled warmly at Lindsey, who was resting on the bed, the newborn baby sleeping peacefully beside her. Dennis introduced himself and explained how he had received Teresa’s texts by mistake. Then he handed over the gift and flowers, saying, “I just wanted to celebrate this wonderful new life with you.” Lindsey and Teresa were touched by Dennis’s kindness and generosity, and the room was filled with laughter and gratitude.
Teresa, realizing her mistake, was both embarrassed and grateful. She apologized to Dennis for bombarding him with texts and photos, but also thanked him sincerely for his thoughtful gesture. “You’ve brought so much joy to our family,” Teresa said, her eyes shining with tears. Dennis smiled and said, “It’s my pleasure. Seeing your happiness has made my day too.” From that day on, Dennis and the family kept in touch, and their unexpected encounter turned into a beautiful friendship that would last a lifetime.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Dennis误收到Teresa发来的关于孙女出生的短信后,不仅没有忽视,反而被这份喜悦感染,决定送上一份礼物来庆祝这个新生命的到来。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“两天后,Dennis出现在了医院。”可知,第一段可描写Dennis带着礼物来到医院,见到了Lindsey和新生儿,以及他解释自己为何会来并送上礼物,Lindsey和Teresa被他的善举所感动。
②由第二段首句内容“Teresa意识到自己的错误,既尴尬又感激。”可知,第二段可描写Teresa向Dennis道歉并感谢他的善意,Dennis表示这是他的荣幸,并提到看到她们的幸福也让自己很开心,从此他们保持联系,这段意外的相遇变成了长久的友谊。
2.续写线索:Dennis带着礼物来到医院——见到Lindsey和新生儿——解释自己为何会来并送上礼物——Lindsey和Teresa被感动——Teresa道歉并感谢——从此他们保持联系——意外的相遇变成长久的友谊

Robots seem to be getting more and more advanced, as these four examples clearly show.
Budgee was created by Five Elements Robotics. With two wheels and a little basket, he can carry things for you while you’re at the shops or in the park. You can communicate with him by using an app on your phone, and set basic commands (命令) such as the distance he has to walk behind you. Budgee can hold up to 22 kilograms and fold up into a small package that weighs just over 2 kilograms.
Simon was developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology. He’s an upper-body robot that can pick up and put down objects, clean up a workspace and interact with humans. In tests, Simon could tell whether someone was ignoring him or paying attention.
Rover was created by a team at Sydney University and has been used to watch and look after cows. The test version (版本) needs to be operated by a human but in the future they’re hoping to develop a fully self-working version. Rover can also monitor animals that are about to give birth, gather data on soil, and detect problems with electric fences.
Paro was designed by Takanori Shibata. He’s a healing robot that’s used on patients in hospitals and nursing homes. He can respond to sounds, learn a name and even show emotions such as surprise, happiness and anger. He’s active during the day and he sleeps at night.
1. What can Budgee do according to the text?

C. Communicate with users directly. D. Carry shopping bags for users.

Jon Fosse, a Norwegian novelist, poet and playwright, has found a growing audience in the English-speaking world for his novels with themes of aging, death, love and art. In 2023, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his innovative (创新的) plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.
Fosse has published around 40 plays, novels, poetry, and children’s books, and his works have been translated into about 50 languages. One of his works, Septology, tells the story of two old artists who may be the same person—one is successful, the other struggles with an alcohol problem. Given its exploration of identity, Fosse was asked what he aimed to convey to readers in his work. “I hope they can find a kind of peace in, or from, my writing,” he said. He hoped to pass on a feeling of serenity.
Fosse was born in 1959 in Norway, and grew up on a small farm. He began writing poems at 12 and it helped him create a space where he felt safe. He writes in Nynorsk, a less common form of Norwegian, which he says is simply the language of his childhood. Critics (评论家) compare his style to Nobel winners Beckett and Pinter, noting how Norway’s natural environment shapes his stories.
Although he had been seen as a favorite for the Nobel for many years, Fosse said he was “both really happy and really surprised” to receive the award. “I have been among the favorites for 10 years, and felt sure that I would never get the prize,” he said. “I simply cannot believe it.”
4. Why did Jon Fosse win the Nobel Prize in Literature?
A. For promoting Nynorsk language. B. For exploring unspoken life themes.
C. For writing popular plays and prose. D. For translating his works into English.
5. What does the underlined word “serenity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Sadness. B. Tension. C. Excitement. D. Calmness.
6. What mainly influences Fosse’s storytelling style?
A. His early career. B. Critics’ comments and support.
C. Norway’s scenery. D. The works of other Prize winners.
7. How did Fosse respond to the Nobel Prize?
A. Confident and proud. B. Anxious and uncertain.
C. Uninterested and cold. D. Surprised and delighted.
C
You’ve probably heard of Slow Food, but now there’s a new addition to the global “Slow Movement”: Slow TV. But what’s it all about? Journalist Carlo Petrini started the Slow Food movement in Rome in 1986. It was a form to protest against the plan to open a McDonald’s restaurant at the Spanish Steps, a famous tourist place in the city.
The objective of the Slow Food movement is to promote the use of fresh, local food that’s grown with sustainable (可持续性的) farming techniques, and that you can enjoy in the company of friends and family. The movement has over 83,000 members in 50 countries, which are organised into 800 friendly groups.
Slow Food soon became part of a more general Slow Movement. In his book In Praise of Slowness, Carl Honoré wrote, “The Slow Movement is challenging the idea that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed. It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.”
The movement covers lots of areas, including Slow Travel, Slow Gardening, Slow Work and Slow Education. Now, there’s a new one, Slow TV. Norway’s NRK broadcasts a TV programme on wood burning that lasts for 12 hours! The show features specialists who give advice on how to collect and burn wood. Other Slow TV shows from Norway include more than 8 hours of painting, 18 hours of fish laying eggs and 130 hours of a ship sailing up the Norwegian coast.
8. Why was the Slow Food movement started in 1986?
A. To advertise fast food. B. To be against McDonald’s at a site.
C To develop local tourism. D. To expand international business.
9. What is the core idea of the Slow Movement?
A. The more, the better. B. Value speed more than quality.
C. The sooner, the better. D. Do everything at the right pace.
10. How does the author introduce Slow TV in the last paragraph?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By telling stories. D. By making a comparison.
11. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Lifestyle. B. News. C. Technology. D. Advertisement.
D
A recent study led by Professor Shintaro Sato from Waseda University, Japan, suggests that watching sports can significantly improve well-being (幸福). The researchers combined large-scale data analysis, online surveys, and neuroimaging techniques to explore the effects of sports viewing on mental health.
In the first part of the study, the team analyzed data from 20,000 Japanese residents. They found that regular sports viewers consistently (持续地) reported higher well-being compared to non-viewers. However, this part of the study couldn’t explain how sports viewing directly impacts well-being. To explore further, the researchers conducted an online survey with 208 participants. They found that watching popular sports, like baseball, led to greater increases in well-being than less popular ones, such as golf.
The most groundbreaking findings came from the neuroimaging study. Using MRI scans, the team monitored the brain activity of 14 participants while they watched sports videos. They discovered that sports viewing started the brain’s reward system, linked to feelings of pleasure and happiness. Moreover, individuals who regularly watched sports had greater gray matter volume in these brain regions, suggesting that consistent viewing could lead to structural brain changes over time.
The study highlights both short-term and long-term benefits of watching sports. In the short term, it boosts (提升、促进) mood and happiness, while regular viewing may strengthen the brain’s reward system, promoting long-term emotional well-being.
The researchers stress that people can watch widely enjoyed sports such as baseball or soccer, to improve mental health. They also think this study gives ideas for public health policies, suggesting that promoting sports viewing could be a tool to support well-being on a larger scale.
12. What method was used in the first stage of the research?
A. Online surveys. B. Neuroimaging study.
C. Data analysis. D. Face-to-face interviews.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. Research process. B. Key findings.
C. Research significance. D. Initial findings.
14. What is the function of the last paragraph?
A. To provide practical suggestions. B. To introduce benefits of playing sports.
C. To question previous study results. D. To summarize findings of earlier research.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Watching Sports: A Boost for Well-being B. Sports Fans: A Study on Their Lifestyle
C. Creative Ways to Improve Physical Fitness D. Strong Urge to Build Better Health Policies

When most of us get a text from an unknown number, we’d probably ignore it without a second thought. But on that quiet March evening, Dennis Williams was sitting at his kitchen table, enjoying a cup of coffee, when the screen of his phone lit up with a message from a stranger named Teresa: “They’re at the hospital! Lindsey’s ready to give birth. Come soon!” Confused, Dennis replied, “Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken.”
But the texts kept coming. As the baby was born, Teresa, the overjoyed grandmother, shared photos and updates — unaware she was messaging a stranger. She sent photos of the baby’s tiny fingers, updates on Lindsey’s recovery, even a photo of the hospital room decorated with blue balloons. As Dennis scrolled through them, he found himself smiling at the stranger’s happiness. Dennis could sense the family’s excitement. “Maybe I should send a gift,” he thought. The idea hit him suddenly. His friends, when he mentioned it, laughed. “You don’t even know them.” But Dennis couldn’t shake the image of that tiny baby in the photos, or Teresa’s thrilled texts. “Every new life deserves a little celebration,” he insisted.
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。
Two days later, Dennis showed up at the hospital.
