B
Every so often, Margo Jimenez says, her husband would come home from work with injuries. “One day, he came home with a black eye, his glasses were broken, and he had bites on his arm,” Margo recalled. “I said, ‘Well, did you report it?’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, ‘Margo, because it happens all the time.’”
Fred Jimenez worked as a special education instructional assistant for the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio. He helped students with disabilities meet their learning and physical needs, and his job involved everything from diaper changes (换尿布) to helping students with hands-on instruction to managing violent outbursts. On Feb.7, a violent outburst sent him to the hospital when a high school student with a cognitive pushed him, causing a fall that led to a brain bleed.
Kreusel, a teacher who worked with Fred, has taught middle schoolers with cognitive disabilities for the past 15 years. She said she loves her students, and doesn’t blame them for hurting her. Many of them have their own triggers, and Kreusel says she does her best to learn them. But she isn’t always able to avoid an outburst. “The student may be aggressive, but it doesn’t mean they are targeting you because they hate you,” Kreusel said. “It’s usually something that has happened, and they might be nonverbal. They can’t express it, and they just blow up.”
According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most students with developmental disabilities aren’t any more aggressive than other students. But for some, their disability can lead to frustration and, in turn, aggression. That can make it harder for school districts to hire special education staff, at a time when schools across the country are struggling to fill these positions. And a recent federal survey found, nationwide, special education vacancies (空缺) are the most difficult for schools to fill. She thinks she and her colleagues will continue to get hurt until the district hires more instructional assistants and pays them well enough that they’re willing to stay.
4. How does the author start the passage?
A. By making up a sad story. B. By presenting a conversation.
C. By describing a family conflict. D. By providing statistics about injuries.
5. What can we learn about Fred's job?
A. It requires little patience and skills.
B. It may involve unexpected risks of injury.
C. It demands a significant amount of physical labor.
D. It aims to improve students’ academic performance.
6. What kind of person is Kreusel?
A. Loving and devoted. B. Humorous and gentle.
C. Ambitious and sociable. D. Creative and outgoing.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraphs?
A. Aggression is the main cause of workplace injury.
B. Special education vacancies are declining nationwide.
C. Workplace injuries in special education are a concern.
D. Special students are more aggressive than other students.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了特殊教育工作者在工作中面临的暴力和伤害问题。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Every so often, Margo Jimenez says, her husband would come home from work with injuries. “One day, he came home with a black eye, his glasses were broken, and he had bites on his arm,” Margo recalled. “I said, ‘Well, did you report it?’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, ‘Margo, because it happens all the time.’”(Margo Jimenez说,她的丈夫经常带着伤下班回家。“有一天,他带着黑眼圈回家,眼镜碎了,手臂上有咬痕,”Margo回忆说。“我说,‘好吧,你报告了吗?’他说:‘不。’我说:‘为什么不呢?’他说,‘Margo,因为这种事经常发生。’”)”可知,作者通过展示一段对话开始这篇文章。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Fred Jimenez worked as a special education instructional assistant for the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio. He helped students with disabilities meet their learning and physical needs, and his job involved everything from diaper changes (换尿布) to helping students with hands-on instruction to managing violent outbursts. On Feb.7, a violent outburst sent him to the hospital when a high school student with a cognitive pushed him, causing a fall that led to a brain bleed.(Fred Jimenez是圣安东尼奥北部独立学区的一名特殊教育教学助理。他帮助残疾学生满足他们的学习和身体需求,他的工作涉及方方面面,从换尿布到帮助学生进行动手指导,再到控制暴力爆发。2月7日,一名患有认知障碍的高中生推了他一下,结果他摔倒,脑出血,导致他被送往医院)”可知,Fred的工作可能涉及意外的伤害风险。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Kreusel, a teacher who worked with Fred, has taught middle schoolers with cognitive disabilities for the past 15 years. She said she loves her students, and doesn’t blame them for hurting her. Many of them have their own triggers, and Kreusel says she does her best to learn them. But she isn’t always able to avoid an outburst. “The student may be aggressive, but it doesn’t mean they are targeting you because they hate you,” Kreusel said. “It’s usually something that has happened, and they might be nonverbal. They can’t express it, and they just blow up.”(Kreusel是一位和Fred一起工作的老师,在过去的15年里,她一直在教授有认知障碍的中学生。她说她爱她的学生,不怪他们伤害她。他们中的许多人都有自己的触发因素,Kreusel说她尽最大努力去了解他们。但她并不总是能够避免爆发。Kreusel说:“学生可能很有攻击性,但这并不意味着他们因为讨厌你而针对你。”“这通常是已经发生的事情,他们可能是非语言的。他们无法表达自己的情绪,就会大发雷霆。”)”可知,Kreusel爱她的学生并且坚持15年,所以Kreusel一个有爱心且专注的人。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most students with developmental disabilities aren’t any more aggressive than other students. But for some, their disability can lead to frustration and, in turn, aggression. That can make it harder for school districts to hire special education staff, at a time when schools across the country are struggling to fill these positions. And a recent federal survey found, nationwide, special education vacancies (空缺) are the most difficult for schools to fill. She thinks she and her colleagues will continue to get hurt until the district hires more instructional assistants and pays them well enough that they’re willing to stay.(根据美国疾病控制和预防中心的数据,大多数有发育障碍的学生并不比其他学生更具攻击性。但对一些人来说,他们的残疾会导致沮丧,进而导致攻击性。在全国各地的学校都在努力填补这些职位的时候,这可能会使学区更难雇用特殊教育人员。最近的一项联邦调查发现,在全国范围内,特殊教育职位的空缺是学校最难填补的。她认为,她和她的同事们将继续受到伤害,直到学区雇佣更多的教学助理,并支付足够高的工资,让他们愿意留下来)”可知,特殊教育中的工伤是一个令人担忧的问题。故选C项。
C
Proper questioning has become a lost art. The curious four-year-old asks a lot of questions—incessant streams of “Why?” and “Why not?” might sound familiar—but as we grow older, our questioning decreases. In a recent survey of more than 200 of our clients, we found that those with children estimated that 70-80% of their kids’ dialogues with others were comprised of questions. But those same clients said that only 15-25% of their own interactions consisted of questions. Why the drop off?
Think back to your time growing up and in school. Chances are that you received the most recognition or reward when you got the correct answers. Later in life, that motivator continues. At work, we often reward those who answer questions, not those who ask them. Questioning conventional wisdom can even lead to being distanced, or considered a threat.
Because expectations for decision-making have gone from “get it done soon” to “get it done now” to “it should have been done yesterday”, we tend to jump to conclusions instead of asking more questions. And the unfortunate side effect of not asking enough questions is poor decision-making. That’s why it’s vital that we slow down and take the time to ask more and better questions. At best, we’ll arrive at better conclusions. At worst, we’ll avoid a lot of rework later on.
Aside from not speaking up enough, many professionals don’t think about how different types of questions can lead to different outcomes. We should lead a conversation by asking the right kinds of questions, based on the problem we’re trying to solve. In some cases, we’ll want to expand our view of the problem rather than keeping it narrowly focused. In others, we may want to challenge basic assumptions or confirm our understanding in order to feel more confident in our conclusions. Therefore, asking the right kinds of questions is what counts in achieving a goal.
8. What does the underlined word “incessant” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Simple. B. Random. C. Constant. D. Annoying.
9. What accounts for the decline of questioning in adulthood?
A. One poses a threat to the company if they ask questions.
B. Adults don’t get as many chances as they did in childhood.
C. Those who question popular beliefs are thought to be wise.
D. Those asking questions don’t always get positive feedback.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Redoing is unavoidable despite thoughtful questions.
B. Decisions made in a hurry may turn out to be wrong.
C. Better questions can surely bring desirable outcomes.
D. More attention should be paid to making conclusions.
11. What might the author continue talking about?
A. Proper questions that should be raised. B. Important goals that we are to achieve.
C. Right kinds of answers to the questions. D. Ways to expand our view of the problem.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了恰当的提问已经成为一门失传的艺术,分析了原因以及鼓励人们恰当的提问。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The curious four-year-old(好奇的四岁孩子以及)”“以及as we grow older, our questioning decreases(但随着年龄的增长,我们的提问会减少)”可知,这个好奇的四岁孩子问了很多问题——没完没了地问“为什么?”和“为什么不呢?所以划线词的意思是“持续不断的”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Think back to your time growing up and in school. Chances are you received the most recognition or reward when you got the correct answers. Later in life, that motivator continues. At work, we often reward those who answer questions, not those who ask them.(回想一下你在学校的成长过程。当你得到正确答案时,你可能会得到最多的认可或奖励。在以后的生活中,这种动力会继续存在。在工作中,我们经常奖励那些回答问题的人,而不是那些提出问题的人)”可知,提问题的人不一定能得到积极的反馈是致了成年后提问的减少的原因。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Because expectations for decision-making have gone from “get it done soon” to “get it done now” to “it should have been done yesterday”, we tend to jump to conclusions instead of asking more questions. And the unfortunate side effect of not asking enough questions is poor decision-making.(因为对决策的期望已经从“尽快完成”变成了“现在完成”,再变成了“昨天就应该完成”,我们倾向于直接下结论,而不是问更多的问题。没有问足够多的问题的副作用是糟糕的决策)”可知,匆忙做出的决定可能会被证明是错误的。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, asking the right kinds of questions is what counts in achieving a goal.(因此,问正确的问题是实现目标的关键)”可知,接下来要讨论应该提出适当的问题。故选A。
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. The first paragraph aims to show __________.
A. the special ability of African fish
B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects
D. the reason for developing a sensor
13. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures?
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b.
C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
15 What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段中“A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish. (一种被称为电鱼的非洲鱼类是弱电性的,有特殊的器官可以定位附近的目标,即使它躲在泥里。科学家们现在已经开发出一种以这些鱼的能力为模型的人工传感器系统)”可知,第一段主要介绍了一种鱼类,有特殊的器官可以定位附近的目标,受此启发,科学家们开发出一种以这些鱼的能力为模型的人工传感器系统,由此可知,第一段旨在介绍一个新发明的灵感。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. (人工传感器是多层的。一层充当发射器,一旦激活就会产生电场,另一层充当接收器,检测物体的方向和距离。一个单独的控制器产生驱动信号来激活发射器。当物体进入范围内时,传感器周围的电场会被扰乱,这反过来又可以被接收器检测到。然后,微控制器单元处理这些数据,计算目标物体的位置,并将该信息发送到智能手机或其他设备)”可知,工作过程是控制器发送激活信号,发射器产生电场,电场被接近的物体扰乱,接收器检测电信号的变化,一个微控制器单元计算目标的位置,结合选项可知,系统工作程序的正确顺序是“c-a-e-d-b”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing. (与需要大量传感器来实现空间定位的传统传感器系统相比,新系统可以使用几个传感器在3D空间中精确定位物体。这大大降低了数据收集、传输和处理的功耗)”可知,新传感器系统在实现3D定位方面的效率更高,大大降低了数据收集、传输和处理的功耗,由此可知,新传感器系统的优点是它在实现3D定位方面的效率更高。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud.

Catherine had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children, but now, she, who lost her husband in a car accident, had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero.
One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site (工地). “I think I can work here,” she thought and walked close to the manager.
“Hi, are you hiring (雇佣)? ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe.“Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract (合同) to work a 12-hour shift (轮班). However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site.
Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks (砖块) on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming competition in school that required mothers to join. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear.
“Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense.

【答案】范文
A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. In the distance, he saw a familiar figure in worn-out clothes, covered in dust and sweat, lifted heavy bricks with her weathered hands at the construction site. As he drew closer, he realized it was his mother, Catherine. Catherine tirelessly moved heavy bricks with her ugly and rough hands under the scorching sun. Her face was covered in sweat, and she didn't even have time to wipe it off as she rushed back and forth, working tirelessly. Peter stood there in shock, unable to utter a single word. Meanwhile, a wave of guilt and regret flooded over him. He shouldn’t have said those hurtful words.
On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. Peter couldn't shake off the guilt and regret for his hurtful words towards his mother. He knew he had to make things right and apologize to her. The moment Catherine stepped into the house from work, Peter rushed up to her, gently took her hands in his and held them tightly. “Mom, I’m sorry” he murmured, tears welling up in his eyes, “I didn’t understand then, but now I see how hard you work for us. Your hands may be rough, but they are the most beautiful hands in the world because they care for us.” Tears welled up in Catherine’s eyes as she embraced her son, a wave of happiness washing over her. From that day on, Peter not only attended the school event with his mother but also stood by her side, holding her hands with pride.

Every so often, Margo Jimenez says, her husband would come home from work with injuries. “One day, he came home with a black eye, his glasses were broken, and he had bites on his arm,” Margo recalled. “I said, ‘Well, did you report it?’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, ‘Margo, because it happens all the time.’”
Fred Jimenez worked as a special education instructional assistant for the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio. He helped students with disabilities meet their learning and physical needs, and his job involved everything from diaper changes (换尿布) to helping students with hands-on instruction to managing violent outbursts. On Feb.7, a violent outburst sent him to the hospital when a high school student with a cognitive pushed him, causing a fall that led to a brain bleed.
Kreusel, a teacher who worked with Fred, has taught middle schoolers with cognitive disabilities for the past 15 years. She said she loves her students, and doesn’t blame them for hurting her. Many of them have their own triggers, and Kreusel says she does her best to learn them. But she isn’t always able to avoid an outburst. “The student may be aggressive, but it doesn’t mean they are targeting you because they hate you,” Kreusel said. “It’s usually something that has happened, and they might be nonverbal. They can’t express it, and they just blow up.”
According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most students with developmental disabilities aren’t any more aggressive than other students. But for some, their disability can lead to frustration and, in turn, aggression. That can make it harder for school districts to hire special education staff, at a time when schools across the country are struggling to fill these positions. And a recent federal survey found, nationwide, special education vacancies (空缺) are the most difficult for schools to fill.

Proper questioning has become a lost art. The curious four-year-old asks a lot of questions—incessant streams of “Why?” and “Why not?” might sound familiar—but as we grow older, our questioning decreases. In a recent survey of more than 200 of our clients, we found that those with children estimated that 70-80% of their kids’ dialogues with others were comprised of questions. But those same clients said that only 15-25% of their own interactions consisted of questions. Why the drop off?
Think back to your time growing up and in school. Chances are that you received the most recognition or reward when you got the correct answers. Later in life, that motivator continues. At work, we often reward those who answer questions, not those who ask them. Questioning conventional wisdom can even lead to being distanced, or considered a threat.
Because expectations for decision-making have gone from “get it done soon” to “get it done now” to “it should have been done yesterday”, we tend to jump to conclusions instead of asking more questions. And the unfortunate side effect of not asking enough questions is poor decision-making. That’s why it’s vital that we slow down and take the time to ask more and better questions. At best, we’ll arrive at better conclusions. At worst, we’ll avoid a lot of rework later on.
Aside from not speaking up enough, many professionals don’t think about how different types of questions can lead to different outcomes. We should lead a conversation by asking the right kinds of questions, based on the problem we’re trying to solve. In some cases, we’ll want to expand our view of the problem rather than keeping it narrowly focused. In others, we may want to challenge basic assumptions or confirm our understanding in order to feel more confident in our conclusions. Therefore, asking the right kinds of questions is what counts in achieving a goal.
8. What does the underlined word “incessant” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Simple. B. Random. C. Constant. D. Annoying.
9. What accounts for the decline of questioning in adulthood?
A. One poses a threat to the company if they ask questions.
B. Adults don’t get as many chances as they did in childhood.
C. Those who question popular beliefs are thought to be wise.
D. Those asking questions don’t always get positive feedback.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Redoing is unavoidable despite thoughtful questions.
B. Decisions made in a hurry may turn out to be wrong.
C. Better questions can surely bring desirable outcomes.
D. More attention should be paid to making conclusions.
11. What might the author continue talking about?
A. Proper questions that should be raised. B. Important goals that we are to achieve.
C. Right kinds of answers to the questions. D. Ways to expand our view of the problem.
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. The first paragraph aims to show __________.
A. the special ability of African fish
B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects
D. the reason for developing a sensor
13. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures?
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b.
C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection

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。
Catherine had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children, but now, she, who lost her husband in a car accident, had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero.
One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site (工地). “I think I can work here,” she thought and walked close to the manager.
“Hi, are you hiring (雇佣)? ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe.“Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract (合同) to work a 12-hour shift (轮班). However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site.
Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks (砖块) on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming competition in school that required mothers to join. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear.
“Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
para.1
