When I came back from Quanzhou in the evening, my younger brother kept making a fuss. My mother sighed and said that she had come across a video before, in which several post-2010s children were interviewed and asked about their views on post-1980s mothers. These children unanimously said that post-1980s mothers were too nagging and feudal. My mother felt that these children were really unreasonable, just like ungrateful wretches.
In my opinion, this is just a video set up by capital. First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic. Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone, and both sides are willing. Those poor post-2010s children are not only ruthlessly slandered, but also sentenced to “death” by these marketing accounts, being stereotyped from ignorant kids into unforgivable problem teenagers.
The selected children may have just casually made a childish complaint, such as “Mom always doesn’t let me play with my phone” or “She always nags me about being picky with food”, but these words are edited into “accusing their mothers of being feudal”. Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second. However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate.
Marketing accounts know very well that what they want is not the truth, but the “sense of being offended” that can make parents in front of the screen instantly identify with.
4. What does the author think about how the views of post-2010s children in the video are formed?
A. They are guided by professional interview teams
B. They are created by capital through selection and editing
C. They truly reflect their opinions on their mothers
D. They are drawn after long-term thinking by the children
5. What is the main purpose of marketing accounts in posting such videos?
A. To promote communication and understanding between parents and children
B. To help parents understand their children’s true thoughts
C. To educate children to be grateful to their parents
D. To gain traffic and provide a platform for parents to vent
6. What kind of real performance of the children is mentioned in the article?
A. Always being dissatisfied and critical of their mothers
B. Interacting intimately with their mothers off-camera
C. Long-term thinking that their mothers are feudal
D. Deliberately speaking ill of their mothers in front of the camera
7. Into what kind of framework do marketing accounts force post-2010s children and post-1980s mothers?
A. A framework of harmonious coexistence
B. A framework of mutual understanding
C. An opposing framework
D. A framework of equal communication
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要批判资本通过剪辑视频制造亲子对立以获取流量的现象。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic.(首先,他们采访一些10后的孩子,然后挑选出那些观点符合“不孝子女”形象的言论,将它们编辑成视频,发布到网上以获取流量)”可知,作者认为视频中10后孩子的观点是资本通过挑选和编辑创造出来的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation.(这样做不仅可以帮助营销账号获得流量,还可以为这些家长提供一个发泄不满的平台)”可知,营销账号发布此类视频的主要目的是获取流量并为家长提供发泄平台。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second.(在镜头外,他们可能会立刻撒娇地抱住妈妈,分享学校里有趣的事情)”可知,文章提到孩子们在镜头外的真实表现是与母亲亲密互动。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate.(然而,在营销账号的叙事中,这些真实的孩子被简化为“无理取闹的不孝子”,而80后母亲则被描绘成“受委屈的受害者”。这两种身份被强行塞进了一个对立的框架中,激发了最容易引起共鸣的家庭情感)”可知,营销账号将10后孩子和80后母亲强行塞进了一个对立的框架中。故选C。

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the field of music in recent years. From composing music to producing it, AI is changing the way we create and experience music.
One of the most exciting applications of AI in music is composition. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of music data and learn the patterns and structures of different genres. This allows them to compose original music that sounds like it was written by a human composer. Some AI-composed songs have even been released commercially and have received positive reviews.
AI is also being used in music production. It can help with tasks such as mixing and mastering, which are traditionally done by audio engineers. AI-powered tools can analyze a song and make adjustments to the levels, EQ, and effects to create a more polished sound. This can save time and money for musicians and producers. In addition to composing and producing music, AI is also changing the way we listen to music. Music streaming services use AI algorithms to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history. This helps users discover new music that they are likely to enjoy.
However, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on the music industry. Some musicians worry that AI will replace human composers and musicians, leading to a loss of creativity and originality. Others argue that AI is just a tool that can be used to enhance human creativity.
8. What is one application of AI in music mentioned in the passage?
A. Teaching music lessons.
B. Composing original music.
C. Selling music online.
D. Designing musical instruments.
9. How can AI help with music production?
A. By writing lyrics.
B. By playing musical instruments.
C. By mixing and mastering songs.
D. By promoting songs on social media.
10. How do music streaming services use AI?
A. To create music videos.
B. To recommend songs to users.
C. To book concerts for artists.
D. To sell merchandise.
11. What is a concern about AI in the music industry?
A. It will make music more expensive.
B. It will replace human composers and musicians.
C. It will reduce the quality of music.
D. It will make music less popular.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B

The concept of time travel has fascinated humans for centuries, appearing in countless works of fiction. But is time travel really possible? According to some scientists, it might be.
One of the key theories that suggests time travel could be possible is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory states that time is not absolute, but is relative to the observer. This means that time can pass at different rates depending on factors such as speed and gravity.
For example, if an object is moving at a speed close to the speed of light, time for that object will pass more slowly relative to a stationary observer. This is known as time dilation. In theory, if a spaceship were to travel at near the speed of light for a few years, when it returned to Earth, hundreds of years might have passed.
Another way time travel could be possible is through the use of wormholes. Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in space-time that connect two different points in time and space. If wormholes exist, they could potentially be used to travel back and forth in time.
However, there are many challenges to making time travel a reality. For one thing, traveling at near the speed of light requires an enormous amount of energy. Wormholes, if they exist, are likely to be very small and unstable, making them unsuitable for travel.
There are also paradoxes associated with time travel. For example, the grandfather paradox, which asks what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born. This would mean you would never be born, so you couldn’t have traveled back in time to kill your grandfather.
Despite these challenges, scientists continue to explore the possibility of time travel. Who knows, maybe one day we will be able to travel through time.
12. What theory suggests that time travel could be possible?
A. Newton’s laws of motion.
B. Darwin’s theory of evolution.
C. Einstein’s theory of relativity.
D. Quantum mechanics.
13. What is time dilation?
A. The idea that time is absolute.
B. The phenomenon where time passes more slowly for objects moving at near the speed of light.
C. The theory that wormholes exist.
D. The paradox associated with time travel.
14. What are wormholes?
A. Tunnels in space-time that connect two different points.
B. Objects that travel at the speed of light.
C. Spaceships that can travel through time.
D. Paradoxes associated with time travel.
15. What is the grandfather paradox?
A. The idea that time travel is impossible.
B. The theory that wormholes are unstable.
C. The question of what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born.
D. The phenomenon where time passes more quickly for objects in space.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章围绕时间旅行这一概念展开,先指出时间旅行数百年来让人类着迷且一些科学家认为其可能实现,接着介绍了爱因斯坦相对论表明时间非绝对,引出时间膨胀现象说明时间旅行的一种可能方式,还提及虫洞可作为时间旅行的另一种潜在途径,同时阐述了时间旅行面临的诸多挑战以及存在的悖论,尽管如此科学家仍在探索时间旅行的可能性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One of the key theories that suggests time travel could be possible is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory states that time is not absolute, but is relative to the observer(表明时间旅行可能性的关键理论之一是爱因斯坦的相对论。该理论指出时间不是绝对的,而是相对于观察者而言的)”可知,爱因斯坦的相对论表明时间旅行是可能的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“For example, if an object is moving at a speed close to the speed of light, time for that object will pass more slowly relative to a stationary observer. This is known as time dilation(例如,如果一个物体以接近光速的速度运动,那么相对于静止的观察者,该物体的时间会过得更慢。这被称为时间膨胀)”可知,时间膨胀是指对于以接近光速运动的物体,时间会过得更慢这一现象。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in space - time that connect two different points in time and space(虫洞是时空中的理论隧道,连接着时空中的两个不同点)”可知,虫洞是连接两个不同点的时空隧道。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第六段“For example, the grandfather paradox, which asks what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born(例如,祖父悖论,它问的是如果你回到过去,在你的父母出生前杀了你的祖父会发生什么)”可知,祖父悖论就是思考如果你回到过去在父母出生前杀死祖父会发生什么这个问题。故选C项。

When I first moved to this coastal town, I felt like a stranger in a foreign land. The rhythm of life here was slower than what I’d known, and the locals spoke with a dialect that took weeks to ___21___ . But it was the sea that eventually made me feel at home.
Every morning, I’d walk along the shore at dawn. The waves would ___22___ against the rocks, creating a sound that felt like a secret language. One day, an old fisherman noticed me standing alone and ___23___ me to join him on his boat. “The sea has stories to tell,” he said, “but you have to listen ___24___ .”

One afternoon, a sudden storm hit while we were at sea. The waves grew ___27___ , and the boat rocked violently. I panicked, but the old man remained calm. “Breathe,” he said, handing me a rope. “Focus on what you can control, not what you can’t.” Together, we ___28___ the boat back to safety.
That experience changed something in me. I realized that adaptability isn’t about ___29___ perfect, but about finding balance in chaos. The town no longer felt foreign, and the sea became a ____30____ rather than a mystery.
Last month, the old fisherman passed away. I now take his boat out alone sometimes, remembering his words. The sea still ____31____ surprises—like the day I found a message in a bottle, written by a child from across the ocean. It made me think about how we’re all connected, even when we’re ____32____ by miles of water.
Living here has taught me that home isn’t a place—it’s a feeling. It’s the way the light hits the waves at sunset, the sound of laughter from the harbor cafes, and the ____33____ that comes from knowing you belong. The sea continues to ____34____ me, just as it did that first morning.
And when I see newcomers staring at the ocean with wonder, I ____35____ them the same invitation the old fisherman once gave me: “Come, let the sea teach you.”

第二节 语法填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The tradition of storytelling is as old as humanity itself. For centuries, people have gathered around fires, in marketplaces, and in homes to share tales that ____36____ (teach) lessons, preserve history, and spark imagination.
In many cultures, storytellers were highly respected members of society. They ____37____ (memorize) hundreds of stories and could recite them with perfect detail. These stories often ____38____ (feature) heroes who overcame great challenges, teaching listeners about courage and wisdom.
Today, storytelling has evolved with technology. We watch movies, read novels, and listen to podcasts, but the core purpose remains the same: ____39____(connect) with others through narrative. Studies show that stories have a unique power to ____40____ (influence) human behavior. When we hear a compelling story, our brains release oxytocin, a chemical ____41____ promotes empathy and trust.
This is why businesses now use storytelling in marketing. Instead of simply listing product features, they share stories about how their products ____42____ (change) people’s lives. Nonprofit organizations also use stories to inspire donations and support for their causes.
____43____ (tell) a good story requires practice. It needs a clear structure: a beginning that grabs attention a middle that builds tension, and an ending that leaves a lasting impression. The best stories are those that feel authentic — they don’t need to be dramatic, but they should feel ____44____ (true) to life.
As we move further into the digital age, storytelling will continue to adapt. Virtual reality may soon allow us to step inside stories, experiencing them in entirely new ways. But no matter how the medium changes, the human need for stories will ____45____ (remain) constant. After all, we are all storytellers — and we are all part of the stories being told.
【答案】36. teach
37. memorized
38. featured
39. to connect
40. influence
41. that##which
42. have changed
43 Telling
44. true 45. remain
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了讲故事的悠久传统及其在不同时代的作用,从古代的口述传承到现代技术媒介的应用,强调故事在传递价值观、影响行为和连接人类情感方面的持久重要性。
【36题详解】
考查动词。句意:数百年来,人们总是在篝火旁、集市上以及家中围坐在一起,分享那些能传授教训、保存历史并激发想象力的故事。根据与preserve和spark并列作从句谓语,陈述事实,用一般闲杂事,关系代词that作主语,指代tales,表复数含义,从句中的时态为一般现在时,所以此处用动词原形。故填teach。
【37题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:他们熟记了数百个故事,并且能够准确无误地将其复述出来。作谓语,根据上文were可知,本句描述的是过去的行为,所以时态为一般过去时。故填memorized。
【38题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:这些故事通常讲述的是那些克服重重困难的英雄人物,它们向听众传递了关于勇气和智慧的启示。根据下文的overcame可知,本句的时态为一般过去时,所以空格处用动词的过去式形式。故填featured。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:我们观看电影、阅读小说、收听播客,但其根本目的始终如一:通过故事来与他人建立联系。解释目的的内容,此处是指“为了”与他人建立联系,用不定式。故填to connect。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:研究表明,故事具有独特的能力来影响人类的行为。根据空格前的to可知,此处用动词原形构成动词不定式形式,作后置定语。故填influence。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:当我们听到一个引人入胜的故事时,我们的大脑会分泌一种名为“催产素”的化学物质,这种物质能够增强同理心和信任感。此空引导限制性定语从句,先行词chemical指物,且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词that或which来引导。故填that/which。
【42题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:他们不再只是罗列产品特性,而是分享有关其产品如何改变人们生活的故事。作从句谓语,根据“they share stories about”可知,此处指产品到目前为止如何给人们的生活带来改变,阐述已经造成的影响,时态应该用现在完成时。故填have changed。
【43题详解】
考查动名词。句意:讲好一个故事需要练习。空格处是主语的位置,所以应该用提示词的动名词形式作主语,泛指一般性行为或抽象性概念。故填Telling。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:最精彩的故事是那些充满真实感的故事——它们不必刻意夸张,但必须贴近生活的真实。根据空格前的系动词feel可知,此处应该用提示词的形容词形式作表语。故填true。
【45题详解】
考查动词。句意:但无论媒介如何变化,人类对故事的需求始终不变。根据空格前的will可知,空格处应该用提示词的动词原形。故填remain。

第二节续写写作(25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Lily found the sparrow huddled under a maple tree, its wing crumpled like a damp tissue. Raindrops plopped onto her yellow raincoat as she knelt, careful not to startle the trembling creature.
“Poor thing,” she whispered, gently cupping it in her palms. The bird’s heart thudded against her fingers like a tiny drum.
At home, her grandmother helped fashion a nest from an old shoebox lined with cotton balls. “Call him Thimble,” Gran suggested, smiling at the bird’s size.
For three weeks, Lily fed Thimble crushed blueberries and water from an eyedropper. Each morning, he chirped greetings when she opened her bedroom door. One afternoon, he hopped onto her outstretched finger—a wobbly but brave first step.
Then came the day Lily knew would arrive. Thimble fluttered from his shoebox nest to the windowsill, eyeing the sky. His wing, once crooked, now moved in smooth arcs.
Lily opened the window. A breeze ruffled her hair as Thimble hesitated, then launched into flight. He circled twice above the roof, as if saying goodbye, before disappearing into the clouds.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
That evening, as Lily sat on the porch, a familiar chirp made her look up.

Paragraph 2:
Lily walked into the room and looked up at the ceiling.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
That evening, as Lily sat on the porch, a familiar chirp made her look up. There, on the railing, was Thimble. His feathers glistened in the sunset, and he hopped toward her, chirping excitedly. Lily held out her hand, and he flew onto it, just like he used to. Gran came out with a smile, “He must have missed you.” Thimble stayed for hours, pecking at crumbs and singing. When night fell, he flew to the windowsill, as if not wanting to leave.
Paragraph 2:
Lily walked into the room and looked up at the ceiling. Thimble had built a small nest in the corner, using bits of cotton from his old shoebox. “He’s home,” she whispered, tears in her eyes. From then on, Thimble never left. He’d follow Lily around the house, sing her awake each morning, and even accompany her to the maple tree where they first met. Lily learned that love, like freedom, isn’t about letting go—it’s about finding a way to stay connected.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人与动物为线索展开。讲述女孩Lily在雨中救下一只受伤麻雀“Thimble”,在祖母帮助下悉心照料直至它能重新飞翔。Thimble 飞走后,却在傍晚又回到 Lily 身边,并最终选择留在她家里,表达了爱与自由的真谛。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容“那个傍晚,当Lily坐在门廊时,一声熟悉的啁啾让她抬头。”可知,第一段可描写 Thimble 的归来与短暂相聚。
② 由第二段首句内容“Lily走进房间,抬头望向天花板。”可知,第二段可描写Thimble在家中筑巢定居,升华主题。

When I came back from Quanzhou in the evening, my younger brother kept making a fuss. My mother sighed and said that she had come across a video before, in which several post-2010s children were interviewed and asked about their views on post-1980s mothers. These children unanimously said that post-1980s mothers were too nagging and feudal. My mother felt that these children were really unreasonable, just like ungrateful wretches.
In my opinion, this is just a video set up by capital. First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic. Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone, and both sides are willing. Those poor post-2010s children are not only ruthlessly slandered, but also sentenced to “death” by these marketing accounts, being stereotyped from ignorant kids into unforgivable problem teenagers.
The selected children may have just casually made a childish complaint, such as “Mom always doesn’t let me play with my phone” or “She always nags me about being picky with food”, but these words are edited into “accusing their mothers of being feudal”. Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second. However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate.
Marketing accounts know very well that what they want is not the truth, but the “sense of being offended” that can make parents in front of the screen instantly identify with.
4. What does the author think about how the views of post-2010s children in the video are formed?
A. They are guided by professional interview teams
B. They are created by capital through selection and editing
C. They truly reflect their opinions on their mothers
D. They are drawn after long-term thinking by the children
5. What is the main purpose of marketing accounts in posting such videos?
A. To promote communication and understanding between parents and children
B. To help parents understand their children’s true thoughts
C. To educate children to be grateful to their parents
D. To gain traffic and provide a platform for parents to vent
6. What kind of real performance of the children is mentioned in the article?
A. Always being dissatisfied and critical of their mothers
B. Interacting intimately with their mothers off-camera
C. Long-term thinking that their mothers are feudal
D. Deliberately speaking ill of their mothers in front of the camera
7. Into what kind of framework do marketing accounts force post-2010s children and post-1980s mothers?
A. A framework of harmonious coexistence
B. A framework of mutual understanding
C. An opposing framework
D. A framework of equal communication
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the field of music in recent years. From composing music to producing it, AI is changing the way we create and experience music.
One of the most exciting applications of AI in music is composition. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of music data and learn the patterns and structures of different genres. This allows them to compose original music that sounds like it was written by a human composer. Some AI-composed songs have even been released commercially and have received positive reviews.
AI is also being used in music production. It can help with tasks such as mixing and mastering, which are traditionally done by audio engineers. AI-powered tools can analyze a song and make adjustments to the levels, EQ, and effects to create a more polished sound. This can save time and money for musicians and producers. In addition to composing and producing music, AI is also changing the way we listen to music. Music streaming services use AI algorithms to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history. This helps users discover new music that they are likely to enjoy.
However, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on the music industry. Some musicians worry that AI will replace human composers and musicians, leading to a loss of creativity and originality. Others argue that AI is just a tool that can be used to enhance human creativity.
8. What is one application of AI in music mentioned in the passage?
A. Teaching music lessons.
B. Composing original music.
C. Selling music online.
D. Designing musical instruments.
9. How can AI help with music production?
A. By writing lyrics.
B. By playing musical instruments.
C. By mixing and mastering songs.
D. By promoting songs on social media.
10. How do music streaming services use AI?
A. To create music videos.
B. To recommend songs to users.
C. To book concerts for artists.
D. To sell merchandise.
11. What is a concern about AI in the music industry?
A. It will make music more expensive.
B. It will replace human composers and musicians.
C It will reduce the quality of music.
D. It will make music less popular.

The concept of time travel has fascinated humans for centuries, appearing in countless works of fiction. But is time travel really possible? According to some scientists, it might be.
One of the key theories that suggests time travel could be possible is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory states that time is not absolute, but is relative to the observer. This means that time can pass at different rates depending on factors such as speed and gravity.
For example, if an object is moving at a speed close to the speed of light, time for that object will pass more slowly relative to a stationary observer. This is known as time dilation. In theory, if a spaceship were to travel at near the speed of light for a few years, when it returned to Earth, hundreds of years might have passed.
Another way time travel could be possible is through the use of wormholes. Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in space-time that connect two different points in time and space. If wormholes exist, they could potentially be used to travel back and forth in time.
However, there are many challenges to making time travel a reality. For one thing, traveling at near the speed of light requires an enormous amount of energy. Wormholes, if they exist, are likely to be very small and unstable, making them unsuitable for travel.
There are also paradoxes associated with time travel. For example, the grandfather paradox, which asks what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born. This would mean you would never be born, so you couldn’t have traveled back in time to kill your grandfather.
Despite these challenges, scientists continue to explore the possibility of time travel. Who knows, maybe one day we will be able to travel through time.
12. What theory suggests that time travel could be possible?
A. Newton’s laws of motion.
B. Darwin’s theory of evolution.
C. Einstein’s theory of relativity.
D. Quantum mechanics.
13. What is time dilation?
A. The idea that time is absolute.
B. The phenomenon where time passes more slowly for objects moving at near the speed of light.
C. The theory that wormholes exist.
D. The paradox associated with time travel.
14. What are wormholes?
A. Tunnels in space-time that connect two different points.
B. Objects that travel at the speed of light.
C. Spaceships that can travel through time.
D. Paradoxes associated with time travel.
15. What is the grandfather paradox?
A. The idea that time travel is impossible.
B. The theory that wormholes are unstable.
C. The question of what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born.
D. The phenomenon where time passes more quickly for objects in space.

When I first moved to this coastal town, I felt like a stranger in a foreign land. The rhythm of life here was slower than what I’d known, and the locals spoke with a dialect that took weeks to ___21___ . But it was the sea that eventually made me feel at home.
Every morning, I’d walk along the shore at dawn. The waves would ___22___ against the rocks, creating a sound that felt like a secret language.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Lily found the sparrow huddled under a maple tree, its wing crumpled like a damp tissue. Raindrops plopped onto her yellow raincoat as she knelt, careful not to startle the trembling creature.
“Poor thing,” she whispered, gently cupping it in her palms. The bird’s heart thudded against her fingers like a tiny drum.
At home, her grandmother helped fashion a nest from an old shoebox lined with cotton balls. “Call him Thimble,” Gran suggested, smiling at the bird’s size.
For three weeks, Lily fed Thimble crushed blueberries and water from an eyedropper. Each morning, he chirped greetings when she opened her bedroom door. One afternoon, he hopped onto her outstretched finger—a wobbly but brave first step.
Then came the day Lily knew would arrive. Thimble fluttered from his shoebox nest to the windowsill, eyeing the sky. His wing, once crooked, now moved in smooth arcs.
Lily opened the window. A breeze ruffled her hair as Thimble hesitated, then launched into flight. He circled twice above the roof, as if saying goodbye, before disappearing into the clouds.
