Valerie, a cute dachshund (腊肠犬), had an incredible adventure. She spent 529days all by herself on Kangaroo Island in Australia before finally being rescued, and her story captured the hearts of many people.
Valerie made her escape during a camping trip with owners Georgia Gardner and her partner Josh Fishlock, dashing out of a pen (围栏) and straight into the bush. Her worried owners searched for days - across the large island, which covers more than 4,400 square kilometers of farms, nature reserves, and rock y cliffs. But they had no luck and finally gave up. The missing dachshund was not seen for more than a year,with many holding out little hope for her survival.
Then, video cameras and locals began spotting her and volunteers launched a patient hunt for her. Volunteer searchers drove more than 5,000 kilometers and used cameras, traps and special food to attract her. But Valerie seemed to flee from people and cars. “Valerie seems impossible to trap,” a wildlife rescuer posted on social media last month.
After spending more than 1,000 hours on the search, the volunteers finally succeeded. The wildlife rescue group was overjoyed and relieved to announce that Valerie was safe and sound. She would soon return to her loving owners.
“Bred to be an independent hunter of dangerous prey, they can be brave to the point of rashness, and a bit stubborn,” the rescue group said.
Valerie’ s owner Gardner said in a social media post she was “incredibly grateful” to the volunteers who helped find her dog. For anyone who’ s ever lost a pet, your feelings are valid and never give up hope.
4. What happened to Valerie during the camping trip?
A. She fell off a rocky cliff.
B. She was attacked by wild animals.
C. She was left behind by her owners.
D. She got lost after running out of a pen.
5. Why was it difficult for the volunteers to catch Valerie?
A She could hide in the thick bush easily.
B She was too fast for the volunteers to follow.
C. She was accustomed to living alone on the island.
D. She was so cautious that she always avoided people.
6. What can we infer from Gardner’s words on social media?
A. Lost pets are often hunted in the wild.
B. People should keep their pets at home.
C. Never lose hope when pets go missing.
D. Dachshunds are the bravest dog breed.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Dog’s Amazing Adventure B. Tips for Pet Protection
C. The Efforts of Rescue Volunteers D. The Survival of Dachshunds
C
It is rare that the CEO praises the virtues of sleeping late. According to one study, two-thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock, while for average Americans, the share is less than one third. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose.
Mike has no such ambitions. But he’s tried with early starts, and finds they bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor — mailbox can be cleared and problems solved before the flood of meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead.
Early birds are certainly thought highly of. Rolling into the office late is unacceptable in most companies. A study published in 2020 found night owls (猫头鹰) were regarded as being “lazy” and “immature”.
However, rising early is not all upside. Those prepared to receive work when the boss arrives may be assigned more of it. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues.
Waking before sunrise also risks making you a bore. Some early risers can’t help describing how much they got done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many,late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are viewed as for the elderly.
If you’d like to change your body clock, it is possible to end in disappointment, as it is largely determined by genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5 and why they ought to have break rooms.
8. What advantage does Mike find in early starts?
A Getting ready for the work. B. Enhancing creative thinking.
C. Reducing workload pressure. D. Improving social relationships.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Night owls feel more stressed. B. Rising early is altogether beneficial.
C. Rising early probably means getting more work. D. One arriving early can end up in working earlier.
10. What does the underlined words “hit the snooze button” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Let out a yawn. B. Sleep a little longer.
C. Turn off the alarm. D. Get up to make breakfast.
11. What is the author’s final advice regarding the body clock?
A. Accept their genetic determination. B. Prioritize nighttime productivity.
C. Adjust it through consistent habits. D. Balance work with regular breaks.
D
An accurate diagnosis of ADHD (多动症) is really important for people who have it. It helps them understand their condition and get the right support. But the current ways of diagnosing ADHD take a lot of time and aren’t always accurate. A new study suggests AI could help.
Researchers in South Korea trained machine learning models to connect characteristics in photos of the fundus (眼底) at the back of the eye to a professional diagnosis of ADHD. Among the four machine learning models they tested, the best achieved a 96.9 percent score for predicting ADHD accurately, based on image analysis alone.
The team discovered that higher blood vessel (血管) density, the shape and width of the vessels, and some changes in the eye’s optic disc were key signs of ADHD. For many years, people have thought that the changes in brain connectivity related to ADHD might also show up in our eyes. If we can figure out what exactly to look for, it could mean we have a faster and more reliable way to detect the disorder.
The researchers tested this method on 323 children and teenagers with ADHD and another 323 without ADHD. The second group had the same age and sex as the first one. They found the AI system did very well in predicting ADHD and spotting some of its features. like problems with visual selective attention.
Next, the researchers plan to test this method on more people of different ages.The average age of participants in this study was 9.5 years, and we know ADHD in adults can present quite differently. Also, they need to make the system better at telling the difference between ADHD and autism (自闭症). Since about 1 in 20 people has ADHD, a quicker and more accurate diagnosis can really make a difference to their lives. “Early screening and timely intervention can improve social, familial, and academic functioning in individuals with ADHD,” write the researchers.
12. What is the main problem with current ADHD diagnosis?
A. Expensive and unetable. B. Dependable and available.
C. Inaccessible and incorrect. D. Time-consuming and inaccurate.
13. What did the South Korean researchers do in the study?
A. They developed a new drug for treating ADHD.
B. They treated 323 children and teenagers with ADHD.
C. They trained machine learning models to predict ADHD.
D. They studied the relationship between autism and ADHD.
14. How did researchers test the AI system?
A. By predicting the features. B. By using a matched control group.
C. By referring to previous studies. D. By testing 600 children in total.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The intention of applying the AI system to more people.
B. The significant impact of age differences on ADHD symptoms.
C. The necessity of expanding AI-based ADHD diagnosis research.
D. The importance of early social support for children with ADHD.

C. This, in turn, changes how the brain behaves.
D. Visualization is a useful tool for realizing any dream.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Axel entered my life 20 years ago, leaning against the door of Room 101. He wore sneakers three sizes too large and pants torn at the knees.
Axel made an entrance into the school of a village known for its old money,fashionable homes and golden mailboxes. He told me his last school had been in a neighboring county. “We were picking fruit,” he said frankly.
I suspected this friendly, smiling boy in rags from an immigrant family (移民家庭) didn’t know he had been thrown into a group of ten-year-old lions who had never before seen torn pants. The circle of boys tightened when Axel approached, their turned backs forming a solid wall. Despite being impolitely treated, Axel didn’t let on.There was no chip on his shoulder.
They eyed Axel doubtfully until the baseball game. With it came a bit of respect from the critics (批评家) of Room 101. In the baseball game, Charles, the most overweight child in the class, was the least athletic. After Charles’s second strike, with the eyes and groans of the class, Axel inched up and spoke quietly to the boy’s depressed back, “Forget them, kid. You can do it.” Charles warmed, smiled, stood taller and quickly struck out anyway. But at that precise moment, Axel had gently begun to change things — and us.
By autumn’s end, we had all been attracted by him. He taught us all kinds of lessons. How to call a wild turkey. How to tell whether fruit is ripe before that first bite. How to treat others, even Charles. Especially Charles. He never did use our names,calling me “Miss” and the students “kid”.
The day before winter vacation, Axel walked to my desk and bent close to my ear. “Miss, my mother said we were moving to another place, so I need to leave school earlier today to pack up.” At the news, my voice caught in my throat.
When Axel was away, I gently broke the news to the class.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, to Axel’s surprise, piles of gifts were lying on his desk.

Valerie, a cute dachshund (腊肠犬), had an incredible adventure. She spent 529days all by herself on Kangaroo Island in Australia before finally being rescued, and her story captured the hearts of many people.
Valerie made her escape during a camping trip with owners Georgia Gardner and her partner Josh Fishlock, dashing out of a pen (围栏) and straight into the bush. Her worried owners searched for days - across the large island, which covers more than 4,400 square kilometers of farms, nature reserves, and rock y cliffs. But they had no luck and finally gave up. The missing dachshund was not seen for more than a year,with many holding out little hope for her survival.
Then, video cameras and locals began spotting her and volunteers launched a patient hunt for her. Volunteer searchers drove more than 5,000 kilometers and used cameras, traps and special food to attract her. But Valerie seemed to flee from people and cars. “Valerie seems impossible to trap,” a wildlife rescuer posted on social media last month.
After spending more than 1,000 hours on the search, the volunteers finally succeeded. The wildlife rescue group was overjoyed and relieved to announce that Valerie was safe and sound. She would soon return to her loving owners.
“Bred to be an independent hunter of dangerous prey, they can be brave to the point of rashness, and a bit stubborn,” the rescue group said.
Valerie’ s owner Gardner said in a social media post she was “incredibly grateful” to the volunteers who helped find her dog. For anyone who’ s ever lost a pet, your feelings are valid and never give up hope.

It is rare that the CEO praises the virtues of sleeping late. According to one study, two-thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock, while for average Americans, the share is less than one third. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose.
Mike has no such ambitions. But he’s tried with early starts, and finds they bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor — mailbox can be cleared and problems solved before the flood of meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead.
Early birds are certainly thought highly of. Rolling into the office late is unacceptable in most companies. A study published in 2020 found night owls (猫头鹰) were regarded as being “lazy” and “immature”.
However rising early is not all upside. Those prepared to receive work when the boss arrives may be assigned more of it. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues.
Waking before sunrise also risks making you a bore. Some early risers can’t help describing how much they got done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many,late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are viewed as for the elderly.
If you’d like to change your body clock, it is possible to end in disappointment, as it is largely determined by genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5 and why they ought to have break rooms.
8. What advantage does Mike find in early starts?
A. Getting ready for the work. B. Enhancing creative thinking.
C. Reducing workload pressure. D. Improving social relationships.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Night owls feel more stressed. B. Rising early is altogether beneficial.
C. Rising early probably means getting more work. D. One arriving early can end up in working earlier.
10. What does the underlined words “hit the snooze button” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Let out a yawn. B. Sleep a little longer.
C. Turn off the alarm. D. Get up to make breakfast.
11. What is the author’s final advice regarding the body clock?
A. Accept their genetic determination. B. Prioritize nighttime productivity.
C. Adjust it through consistent habits. D. Balance work with regular breaks.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了多数美国大公司CEO早起,早起者受认可,但也有弊端,如可能多干活、让人觉得无趣。对此文章指出生物钟多由基因决定,不必纠结,多数人介于两者之间。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Mike has no such ambitions. But he’s tried with early starts, and finds they bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor — mailbox can be cleared and problems solved before the flood of meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead.(迈克并没有这样的抱负。但他曾尝试过提前开始工作,结果发现这样做能带来一种满足感,那就是在编辑的邮箱还未清理完毕、问题还未解决之前就完成了工作——这样能让你在众多会议之前做好充分准备,从而感觉一切都很有条理)”可知,迈克觉得早起可以为工作做好准备。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Those prepared to receive work when the boss arrives may be assigned more of it.(那些愿意在老板到来时就做好准备迎接工作的人可能会被分配到更多的工作任务)”可知,早起可能意味着要完成更多的工作。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Waking before sunrise also risks making you a bore.(清晨起床就有可能让你变得乏味)”以及下文“Night owls, by contrast, let loose.(相比之下,夜猫子们则尽情享受夜晚的时光)”可知,夜猫子们享受夜晚的时光,所以清晨睡得较久。故划线词意思是“睡得较久”。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you’d like to change your body clock, it is possible to end in disappointment, as it is largely determined by genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening.(如果你想改变自己的生物钟,可能会事与愿违,因为这在很大程度上是由基因决定的。或许最好的建议就是别再为自己的生物钟而烦恼了。大多数人都既不是早起的鸟儿,也不是夜猫子,而是介于两者之间的类型,白天和晚上都难以保持良好的状态)”可知,关于生物钟,作者的最终建议是接受其由基因决定的事实。故选A。
D
An accurate diagnosis of ADHD (多动症) is really important for people who have it. It helps them understand their condition and get the right support. But the current ways of diagnosing ADHD take a lot of time and aren’t always accurate. A new study suggests AI could help.
Researchers in South Korea trained machine learning models to connect characteristics in photos of the fundus (眼底) at the back of the eye to a professional diagnosis of ADHD. Among the four machine learning models they tested, the best achieved a 96.9 percent score for predicting ADHD accurately, based on image analysis alone.
The team discovered that higher blood vessel (血管) density, the shape and width of the vessels, and some changes in the eye’s optic disc were key signs of ADHD. For many years, people have thought that the changes in brain connectivity related to ADHD might also show up in our eyes. If we can figure out what exactly to look for, it could mean we have a faster and more reliable way to detect the disorder.
The researchers tested this method on 323 children and teenagers with ADHD and another 323 without ADHD. The second group had the same age and sex as the first one. They found the AI system did very well in predicting ADHD and spotting some of its features. like problems with visual selective attention.
Next, the researchers plan to test this method on more people of different ages.The average age of participants in this study was 9.5 years, and we know ADHD in adults can present quite differently. Also, they need to make the system better at telling the difference between ADHD and autism (自闭症). Since about 1 in 20 people has ADHD, a quicker and more accurate diagnosis can really make a difference to their lives. “Early screening and timely intervention can improve social, familial, and academic functioning in individuals with ADHD,” write the researchers.
12. What is the main problem with current ADHD diagnosis?
A. Expensive and unetable. B. Dependable and available.
C. Inaccessible and incorrect. D. Time-consuming and inaccurate.
13. What did the South Korean researchers do in the study?
A. They developed a new drug for treating ADHD.
B They treated 323 children and teenagers with ADHD.
C. They trained machine learning models to predict ADHD.
D. They studied the relationship between autism and ADHD.
14. How did researchers test the AI system?
A. By predicting the features. B. By using a matched control group.
C. By referring to previous studies. D. By testing 600 children in total.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The intention of applying the AI system to more people.
B. The significant impact of age differences on ADHD symptoms.
C. The necessity of expanding AI-based ADHD diagnosis research.
D. The importance of early social support for children with ADHD.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容,尤其是最后一句“Early screening and timely intervention can improve social, familial, and academic functioning in individuals with ADHD(早期筛查和及时干预可以改善多动症患者的社会、家庭和学术功能)”可知,文章首句提到研究人员计划在更多不同年龄的人身上测试这种方法,接着提出两点原因:ADHD在成年人身上的表现完全不同,他们还需要让这个系统更好地区分多动症和自闭症,最后指出早期筛查和及时干预可以改善多动症患者的社会、家庭和学术功能,因此本段主要讲扩大基于人工智能的ADHD诊断研究的必要性,故选C。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When we think of success, we often think of a few different things: hard work,persistence, discipline, pain. ____16____ The very secret is the power of visualization.
What is visualization?
Simply, it’s the habit of imagining yourself accomplishing what you want to achieve — and then accomplishing it. This is a tried and tested method supported by various researchers and psychologists. In short, visualization trains the brain on how to react to obstacles (障碍) and prepares them to reach both short-term and long-term goals. It convinces the brain that what you are imagining is actually reality. ____17____
____18____
The power of visualization comes from convincing your brain that not only can you make it, but you will make it. It convinces the brain that there is a reward at the end of all your hard work. This boost of drive and ambition doesn’t just motivate you to work hard, but it inspires you to keep on going when the going gets tough.
How to make use of visualization for success?
One of the most powerful ways to put visualization into practice is through meditation visualization (冥想想象) ____19____ Meditation visualization is also a good practice to train your mind to overcome obstacles. Since the obstacles are already overcome in your mind, your brain reacts as necessary.
____20____ It lessens fears, strengthens your belief in your goals, and convinces your brain you’ re capable. In its essence, visualization brings your dream just a little bit closer to reality. Close enough, at least, that you can reach out and grab it.
A. Why can visualization work?
B. Where does visualization come from?
C. This, in turn, changes how the brain behaves.
D. Visualization is a useful tool for realizing any dream.
E Visualization can be used to help overcome specific fears.
F. But there is a simple yet powerful secret you can make use of.
G. Picture your dreams, and you’ll get a better vision of your future and goals.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了视觉化(visualization)作为成功秘诀的心理学原理,指出通过想象目标实现能训练大脑应对障碍,增强动力,并通过冥想实践将梦想拉近现实。
【16题详解】
由上文“When we think of success, we often think of a few different things: hard work, persistence, discipline, pain.(当我们想到成功时,我们通常会想到几件不同的事情:努力工作、坚持、自律、付出。)”及下文“The very secret is the power of visualization.(这个秘诀就是想象的力量。)”可知,此处需引出成功的另一个秘诀。F项But there is a simple yet powerful secret you can make use of.(但有一个简单而强大的秘诀你可以利用。) 中But表转折,引出与前文不同的成功要素,“secret”直接对应下文“the very secret”,形成“提及常见成功要素→引出核心秘诀”的逻辑。故选F项。
【17题详解】
由上文“In short, visualization trains the brain on how to react to obstacles and prepares them to reach both short-term and long-term goals. It convinces the brain that what you are imagining is actually reality.(简而言之,想象训练大脑如何应对障碍,并为实现短期和长期目标做好准备。它让大脑相信你所想象的实际上是现实。)”可知,此处需说明想象对大脑行为的影响。C项This, in turn, changes how the brain behaves.(这反过来又会改变大脑的行为方式。) 中This指代前文“visualization trains the brain”和“convinces the brain”,“changes how the brain behaves”是想象产生的结果,解释了想象发挥作用的机制,衔接“想象的作用→对大脑的影响”的逻辑。故选C项。
【18题详解】
由下文“The power of visualization comes from convincing your brain that not only can you make it, but you will make it. It convinces the brain that there is a reward at the end of all your hard work.(想象的力量来自于让你的大脑相信,你不仅能成功,而且一定会成功。它让大脑相信,在你所有的努力结束时会有回报。)”可知,此处需提出想象为何有效的问题。A项Why can visualization work?(为什么想象会起作用?) 中“Why”引导对想象作用原理的探讨,下文则具体解释其原因,形成“提出问题→解答问题”的结构,明确该部分是关于想象有效的原因。故选A项。
【19题详解】
由上文“One of the most powerful ways to put visualization into practice is through meditation visualization.(将想象付诸实践的最有效方法之一是通过冥想想象。)”可知,此处需说明冥想想象的具体做法。G项Picture your dreams, and you’ll get a better vision of your future and goals.(想象你的梦想,你会对自己的未来和目标有更清晰的认识。)中“Picture your dreams”是“meditation visualization”的具体操作,“better vision of your future and goals”说明其效果,解释了如何进行冥想想象,衔接“方法→做法”的逻辑。故选G项。
【20题详解】
由下文“It lessens fears, strengthens your belief in your goals, and convinces your brain you’re capable.(它减少恐惧,增强你对目标的信念,并让大脑相信你有能力。)”可知,此处需总述想象对实现梦想的作用。D项Visualization is a useful tool for realizing any dream.(想象是实现任何梦想的有用工具。)中“useful tool for realizing any dream”统领下文“lessens fears”、“strengthens belief”等具体作用,形成“总述作用→具体表现”的结构,强调想象对成功的价值。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国历史上最具破坏性之一的飓风Katrina对城市造成的影响。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:2005年8月下旬,美国历史上最具破坏性的飓风之一卡特里娜飓风袭击了美国东南部。空处修饰名词hurricanes,应填形容词作定语,故填destructive。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它始于8月23日,一开始只造成了轻微的损害。cause和逻辑主语It之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词作状语,故填causing。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但它很快就在墨西哥湾温暖的水域上空发展成为五级飓风,并在其路径上造成了严重破坏。此处泛指“一场五级飓风”,应用不定冠词修饰,故填a。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:新奥尔良是一个大部分建在海平面以下的城市,受灾最严重。空处引导定语从句,先行词是city,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which/that引导,故填which/that。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了应对即将来临的飓风,市政府下令疏散所有居民。in reaction to“作为对……的回应”,故填to。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同上。resident是可数名词,由all可知应用复数形式,故填residents。
【42题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:结果,80%的城市被洪水淹没了数周。主语80% of the city和动词flood之间是被动关系,且是描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的别的语态,主语看作一个整体,表示单数意义,be动词使用was,故填was flooded。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:被困在城市里的人们没有电力、食物和饮用水,焦急地等待救援。stick和People之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作定语,故填stuck。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。空处修饰动词waiting,应用副词形式,故填anxiously。
【45题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意:卡特里娜飓风造成近2000人死亡,数百万人无家可归。根据caused可知使用一般过去时,空处是定语从句并列的谓语动词,应用动词过去式,故填left。

47. 阅读下面短文,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。
Axel entered my life 20 years ago, leaning against the door of Room 101. He wore sneakers three sizes too large and pants torn at the knees.
Axel made an entrance into the school of a village known for its old money,fashionable homes and golden mailboxes. He told me his last school had been in a neighboring county. “We were picking fruit,” he said frankly.
I suspected this friendly, smiling boy in rags from an immigrant family (移民家庭) didn’t know he had been thrown into a group of ten-year-old lions who had never before seen torn pants. The circle of boys tightened when Axel approached, their turned backs forming a solid wall. Despite being impolitely treated, Axel didn’t let on.There was no chip on his shoulder.
They eyed Axel doubtfully until the baseball game. With it came a bit of respect from the critics (批评家) of Room 101. In the baseball game, Charles, the most overweight child in the class, was the least athletic. After Charles’s second strike, with the eyes and groans of the class, Axel inched up and spoke quietly to the boy’s depressed back, “Forget them, kid. You can do it.” Charles warmed, smiled, stood taller and quickly struck out anyway. But at that precise moment, Axel had gently begun to change things — and us.
By autumn’s end, we had all been attracted by him. He taught us all kinds of lessons. How to call a wild turkey. How to tell whether fruit is ripe before that first bite. How to treat others, even Charles. Especially Charles. He never did use our names,calling me “Miss” and the students “kid”.
The day before winter vacation, Axel walked to my desk and bent close to my ear. “Miss, my mother said we were moving to another place, so I need to leave school earlier today to pack up.” At the news, my voice caught in my throat.
When Axel was away I gently broke the news to the class.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, to Axel’s surprise, piles of gifts were lying on his desk.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When Axel was away, I gently broke the news to the class. A stunned silence fell over Room 101. Charles looked especially sad, his shoulders dropping. One student murmured, “But he taught me turkey calls!” Then came another voice, “Who’ll help me with peaches?” Suddenly, Charles sprang to his feet and yelled, “We can’t let him leave like this!” Others nodded hard, voices mixed, “Yeah, we should do something for him!” Watching them silently and smilingly, I felt a sense of warmth and pride sweeping over me. Within minutes, they made a decision: everyone would bring something meaningful by tomorrow morning.
The next morning, to Axel’s surprise, piles of gifts were lying on his desk. Colorfully wrapped presents, handmade cards... Slowly approaching, with trembling hands, Axel picked up a card signed by the whole class, tears rolling down his cheeks, “Thanks, kids.Really.” Charles stepped forward and hugged him tightly, saying, “Thank you, Axel. Friends never say goodbye!” All others gathered around, eyes filled with tears. Axel looked around at the faces, the once unfriendly “lions” softened. I knew, in that pile of gifts hid the greatest one — Axel’s kindness and love, which changed Room 101’s lions.
【解析】
