Many people assume that siblings naturally grow up to be close, but for me, that wasn’t the case. When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of communication caused our bond to fade completely.
This emotional distance still affects me. I feel grief when I see other families enjoying sibling vacations or holiday jokes. I’ve come to understand that our broken relationships were caused by family changes, poor communication, and favoritism (偏袒) — experiences that are common for many. Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children. Favoritism, too, can damage sibling trust and create pressure, even for the so-called “favorite” child.
Understanding the causes helped, but healing didn’t begin until I started therapy. Therapy helped me recognize how not having my feelings understood led to bitterness and silence. It also helped me take responsibility for my role in these conflicts and show empathy toward my siblings’ experiences. Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or setting boundaries.
As a parent now, I reflect on how parents can prevent such issues. Brako-Owusu recommends encouraging open communication, avoiding favoritism, and creating space for siblings to bond. Even if a relationship can’t be repaired now, it doesn’t mean it never will. I hold on to hope that someday my siblings and I may reconnect.
4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She remained close to her brothers through letters.
B. She was excited to live in the U. S. with her sisters.
C. She never wanted to be taken away from hometown.
D. She was emotionally affected by the move at age seven.
5. Which of the following would Brako-Owusu most likely disapprove of?
A. Sharing decision-making.
B. Not explaining family change.
C. Seeking for psychological help.
D. Not favoring a certain child.
6. What is advised before trying to reconnect with siblings, according to experts?
A. Going through necessary self-reflection.
B. Focusing on building new family traditions.
C. Waiting for siblings to initiate the conversation.
D. Breaking down boundaries without conditions.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards repairing her relationship with her siblings?

C. Indifferent. D. Reserved.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者自身的经历探讨了兄弟姐妹关系疏远的原因,并提出了修复这种关系的建议和希望。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of communication caused our bond to fade completely.(我七岁的时候,和两个姐妹从伦敦搬到了佛罗里达,而我的四个兄弟留在了伦敦。我们直到17岁才团聚。长时间的分离和缺乏沟通使我们的关系完全淡化了)”可知,作者七岁时搬家,与兄弟分离十年,亲情关系淡化,由此可推知,作者在七岁时受到搬家的影响,在情感上受到了影响。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children.(治疗专家Phebe Brako-Owusu解释说,突然的家庭变化如果没有解释或情感支持,会严重伤害孩子)”可推知,Brako-Owusu认为突然的家庭变化而没有解释会伤害孩子,所以她最可能不赞成不解释家庭变化。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or setting boundaries.(专家建议,在尝试与兄弟姐妹修复关系前先做好自我调整。如果决定沟通,请多用“我”开头的表达方式,并明确自己的目的——无论是为了和解还是设立界限)”可知,专家建议,在试图与兄弟姐妹重新联系之前要先做好自我调整,要明确自己的目的,即先进行必要的自我反省。故选A项。

Mali lies in the heart of West Africa, where stories are not just told but sung, played, and spread through the voices of Griots (西非游唱艺人). These storytellers are more than entertainers; they are historians, poets, musicians, and cultural protectors whose art has shaped Mali’s identity for centuries.
In Mali, where written records were historically rare, Griots became the keepers of oral history. Their knowledge is passed down through generations, ensuring that no detail is lost. Imagine having a living reference book that not only recites historical facts but sings them to you accompanied by the pleasing instruments.
What makes Griots truly fascinating is their double roles as both recorders and creators. They are not just record-keepers; they fill their tales with poetry, humor, and moral lessons. Griots are also inseparable from music, which serves as both a medium and a companion to their storytelling. Instruments are essentials of Griots’ performances. These instruments don’t merely accompany the words; they turn each story into an immersive (沉浸式的) experience.
In modern Mali, the role of Griots has developed, but their importance remains. Griots continue to be highly respected figures in their communities. They are often called upon for important life events such as weddings, naming ceremonies, etc., where their performances add depth and meaning to these important moments.
The Griot tradition also plays a critical role in Mali’s music fields. Many of Mali’s most celebrated musicians bend traditional storytelling with contemporary styles to reach global audiences. This integration has brought international attention to Mali’s rich cultural heritage while ensuring that the Griot tradition remains dynamic and relevant.
Like many other cultural treasures, the Griot tradition faces challenges in the modern world, but efforts are being made to preserve this valuable heritage, from cultural festivals to educational programs that celebrate and teach the art of the Griot.
8. What can we know about Griots in Mali’s history?
A. Much oral history might be lost without them.
B. They just entertained people as musicians.
C. Their role as artists was more important than other artists.
D. They mainly told stories about historians and poets.
9. What can be inferred about Griots’ performances?
A. Instruments are simple but don’t help with storytelling.
B. Music and instruments enhance the cultural experience.
C. Music is just background sound with little value.
D. Modern music has replaced its traditional style.
10. How do Griots continue to be important in modern Mali?
A. By writing history books. B. By improving communication.
C. By giving legal advice. D. By enriching important events.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Mali’s Griot tradition is disappearing.
B. Griots are important in Mali’s entertainment.
C Griots keep Mali’s culture alive via storytelling and music.
D. Music matters in the Griot tradition’s spread.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In Mali, where written records were historically rare, Griots became the keepers of oral history. Their knowledge is passed down through generations, ensuring that no detail is lost. (在历史上书面记录稀少的马里,游唱艺人成为了口述历史的守护者。他们的知识代代相传,确保没有细节被遗漏。)”可知,在马里的历史中,游唱艺人是口述历史的守护者,如果没有游唱艺人,很多口述历史可能会丢失。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Griots are also inseparable from music, which serves as both a medium and a companion to their storytelling. Instruments are essentials of Griots’ performances. These instruments don’t merely accompany the words; they turn each story into an immersive (沉浸式的) experience. (游唱艺人也与音乐密不可分,音乐既是他们讲故事的媒介,也是陪伴。乐器是游唱艺人表演的必备品。这些乐器不仅仅是为话语伴奏;它们让每个故事都变成一种沉浸式的体验。)”可知,音乐是游唱艺人讲故事的媒介,乐器让每个故事都变成一种沉浸式的体验,所以音乐和乐器增强了游唱艺人表演的文化体验。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They are often called upon for important life events such as weddings, naming ceremonies, etc., where their performances add depth and meaning to these important moments. (他们经常被邀请参加重要的人生活动,如婚礼、命名仪式等,在这些活动中,他们的表演为这些重要时刻增添了深度和意义。)”可知,在现代马里,游唱艺人的表演为一些重要时刻增添了深度和意义,它通过丰富重要活动来继续发挥重要作用。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“These storytellers are more than entertainers; they are historians, poets, musicians, and cultural protectors whose art has shaped Mali’s identity for centuries. (这些讲故事的人不仅仅是表演者;他们是历史学家、诗人、音乐家和文化保护者,几个世纪以来,他们的艺术塑造了马里的形象。)”以及后文对游唱艺人作用的阐述可知,本文主要讲的是游唱艺人通过讲故事和音乐让马里的文化得以传承。故选C项。
D
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) , a natural compound found in foods like broccoli and avocado, has emerged as a promising anti-aging supplement (补充物质). As people age, their levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) decline. Since NMN helps boost NAD⁺ production, scientists believe it could slow age-related decline.
The current global aging crisis urges studies in this field. With the population over 65 expected to double by 2050, age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s diseases and diabetes have gone up, leading to heavy global socioeconomic and medical burden. Therefore, age management medical practices have been mushrooming in the world for recommending nutritional supplements. And NMN serves as a direct boost to NAD⁺, a vital molecule (分子) that fuels cells with energy and repairs DNA damage.
Many studies have been done to explore NMN’s anti-aging effects in various cells and tissues, most of which were done in animal models. For example, according to Fu and Zhang, on an experiment of using NMN in preparation of anti-aging health-care products or drugs on aged mice, it was found that the NMN administration could extend the life span of mice by 29%. Fang investigated that the hearing loss happened to mice could be prevented by improving cochlear (耳蜗) health and restoring outer hair cell loss. Wang also indicated that the use of NMN contributed to the restoration of learning and cognition in rats.
However, most evidence comes from lab studies, and human trials remain limited. Also, in terms of intake, early small-scale studies suggest NMN is safe in doses up to 500 mg per day, but experts caution that unregulated high doses (such as 1, 000 mg capsules) could be risky.
Alarmingly, despite the lack of comprehensive human data, NMN supplements are already widely marketed. Dr. Jun Lu, a leading researcher, warns: “Nature perfected these systems over millions of years — lab-made versions still can’t fully copy them.” While NMN holds promise, more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness in humans.
12. Why are scientists interested in NMN?
A. Because it is a natural compound found in common foods.
B. Because it is the only effective anti-aging supplement available.
C. Because it may contribute to slowing aging by boosting NAD⁺ levels.
D. Because it has been proven to cure Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
13. The underlined word “administration” in Paragraph 3 most likely means _________.
A. government B. interruption
C. injection D. accommodation
14. Which of the following words best describes the effectiveness of NMN on humans?
A. Revolutionary. B. Promising.
C. Invasive. D. Unproven.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Animal Studies Prove NMN’s Anti-Aging Effects
B. NMN’s Potential and Risks: A Scientific Perspective
C. How NMN Supplements Are Dominating the Market
D. NMN: The Miracle Anti-Aging Solution Finally Found
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了NMN作为一种潜在抗衰老补充剂,其作用机制、在动物实验中的效果、目前研究的局限性以及市场情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As people age, their levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) decline. Since NMN helps boost NAD⁺ production, scientists believe it could slow age-related decline. (随着年龄的增长,人体内烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD⁺)的水平会下降。由于NMN有助于促进NAD⁺的产生,科学家认为它可以减缓与年龄相关的衰退。)”可知,科学家对NMN感兴趣是因为它可能通过提高NAD⁺水平来减缓衰老。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“For example, according to Fu and Zhang, on an experiment of using NMN in preparation of anti-aging health-care products or drugs on aged mice, it was found that the NMN administration could extend the life span of mice by 29%.(例如,根据傅和张的说法,在一项用NMN制备抗衰老保健品或药物对老年小鼠进行的实验中发现,NMN _____ 可使小鼠寿命延长29%。)”可知,本句介绍的是用NMN制备抗衰老保健品或药物对老年小鼠进行的实验,由此可推知,是给小鼠注射了NMN,才使得小鼠寿命延长了29%,故划线词“administration”意为“注射”,与C项“injection”意思一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, most evidence comes from lab studies, and human trials remain limited. (然而,大多数证据来自实验室研究,人体试验仍然有限。)”和最后一段中“While NMN holds promise, more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness in humans. (虽然NMN有希望,但还需要更多的研究来证实其在人类身上的安全性和有效性。)”可推知,NMN对人类的有效性尚未得到证实。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a natural compound found in foods like broccoli and avocado, has emerged as a promising anti-aging supplement (补充物质). (烟酰胺单核苷酸(NMN)是一种存在于西兰花和鳄梨等食物中的天然化合物,已成为一种很有前途的抗衰老补充剂。)”可知,文章主要介绍了NMN作为一种潜在的抗衰老补充剂,其作用机制、在动物实验中的效果、目前研究的局限性以及市场情况。故B项“NMN的潜力和风险:科学视角”最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

【答案】arose
【解析】

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。
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the quiet town, Emily sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the blank page in her journal. She had always been a diligent student, excelling in academics and extracurricular activities, but lately, she felt a growing sense of unease. It was as if something was missing, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. She sighed, tapping her pen against the paper, and decided to take a walk to clear her mind.
The cool evening breeze brushed against her face as she wandered through the familiar streets of her neighborhood. She passed by the park where she used to play as a child the library where she spent countless hours studying, and the café where she and her friends would gather after school. Each place held memories, but they also reminded her of the expectations she had been carrying — expectations from her parents, her teachers, and even herself. She had always been the “perfect” student, the one who never made mistakes, the one who always knew what to do. But now, she felt lost.
As she walked, she noticed a small, weathered bookstore tucked away in a corner she had never explored before. The sign above the door read, “The Journey Within.” Interested, Emily pushed open the door and stepped inside. The air was filled with the scent of old books and the soft hum of a record player in the background. The shelves were lined with books of all shapes and sizes, their spines worn from years of use. Emily’s eyes were drawn to a particular book titled The Courage to Be Imperfect. She picked it up and began to read.
The book spoke of the importance of embracing one’s flaws, of learning to be vulnerable (脆弱的), and of finding strength in imperfection. As Emily turned the pages, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. For the first time, she realized that it was okay not to have all the answers, that it was okay to make mistakes, and that growth often came from the moments when things didn’t go as planned.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Over the next few weeks, Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life. She raised her hand in math class to admit she’d forgotten the quadratic formula — only to find half the class nodding in relief. At the poetry club’s open mic night, her first attempt at free verse, riddled with crossed-out words and uneven metaphors, earned snaps instead of silence. When she confessed to her best friend how much she feared being “found out” as inadequate, the response was a tight hug and “Me too”. The standing ovation after her poem wasn’t for flawless delivery, but for the way her voice cracked precisely on the word “vulnerable”.
As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled. The pages now bore coffee rings and doodled stars framing entries like: “Spilled orange juice on my white shirt before the debate — but my ‘juice stain defense strategy’ got more laughs than the opposing team’s arguments.” She ran a finger over yesterday’s smudged ink where she’d written “Perfection is a lonely museum; I’m planting dandelions instead.” She closed the journal, realizing perfection wasn’t the goal; courage to embrace imperfection was.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Emily对完美的追求为线索展开,讲述了Emily是个追求完美的女孩,却在偶然发现的书店中读到《勇于不完美》一书,意识到成长源于接纳脆弱。她开始勇敢犯错——课堂上承认不会的知识,诗歌朗诵中展示粗糙的作品,向朋友袒露不安。这些不完美的真实时刻,反而让她收获了掌声、拥抱和更深的友谊,最终她领悟到敢于不完美的勇气才是真正成长。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几个星期里,Emily开始把书中的经验运用到自己的生活中。”可知,第一段可描写Emily在各种场合勇于犯错,而这些错误并没有带来负面反馈,而是让她收获更多。
②由第二段首句内容“当Emily坐下来再次写日记时,她笑了。”可知,第二段可描写Emily日记中不完美时刻的记录,以及她最终的领悟。
2. 续写线索:Emily实践书中的经验——Emily勇于犯错——错误令Emily收获更多——Emily再次写日记——日记中不完美的记录——Emily的领悟
3. 词汇激活

①承认:admit/acknowledge

Many people assume that siblings naturally grow up to be close, but for me, that wasn’t the case. When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of communication caused our bond to fade completely.
This emotional distance still affects me. I feel grief when I see other families enjoying sibling vacations or holiday jokes. I’ve come to understand that our broken relationships were caused by family changes, poor communication, and favoritism (偏袒) — experiences that are common for many. Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children. Favoritism, too, can damage sibling trust and create pressure, even for the so-called “favorite” child.
Understanding the causes helped, but healing didn’t begin until I started therapy. Therapy helped me recognize how not having my feelings understood led to bitterness and silence. It also helped me take responsibility for my role in these conflicts and show empathy toward my siblings’ experiences. Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or setting boundaries.
As a parent now, I reflect on how parents can prevent such issues. Brako-Owusu recommends encouraging open communication, avoiding favoritism, and creating space for siblings to bond. Even if a relationship can’t be repaired now, it doesn’t mean it never will. I hold on to hope that someday my siblings and I may reconnect.
4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She remained close to her brothers through letters.
B. She was excited to live in the U. S. with her sisters.
C. She never wanted to be taken away from hometown.
D. She was emotionally affected by the move at age seven.

Mali lies in the heart of West Africa, where stories are not just told but sung, played, and spread through the voices of Griots (西非游唱艺人). These storytellers are more than entertainers; they are historians, poets, musicians, and cultural protectors whose art has shaped Mali’s identity for centuries.
In Mali, where written records were historically rare, Griots became the keepers of oral history. Their knowledge is passed down through generations, ensuring that no detail is lost. Imagine having a living reference book that not only recites historical facts but sings them to you accompanied by the pleasing instruments.
What makes Griots truly fascinating is their double roles as both recorders and creators. They are not just record-keepers; they fill their tales with poetry, humor, and moral lessons. Griots are also inseparable from music, which serves as both a medium and a companion to their storytelling. Instruments are essentials of Griots’ performances. These instruments don’t merely accompany the words; they turn each story into an immersive (沉浸式的) experience.
In modern Mali, the role of Griots has developed, but their importance remains. Griots continue to be highly respected figures in their communities. They are often called upon for important life events such as weddings, naming ceremonies, etc., where their performances add depth and meaning to these important moments.
The Griot tradition also plays a critical role in Mali’s music fields. Many of Mali’s most celebrated musicians bend traditional storytelling with contemporary styles to reach global audiences. This integration has brought international attention to Mali’s rich cultural heritage while ensuring that the Griot tradition remains dynamic and relevant.
Like many other cultural treasures, the Griot tradition faces challenges in the modern world, but efforts are being made to preserve this valuable heritage, from cultural festivals to educational programs that celebrate and teach the art of the Griot.
8. What can we know about Griots in Mali’s history?
A. Much oral history might be lost without them.
B. They just entertained people as musicians.
C. Their role as artists was more important than other artists.
D. They mainly told stories about historians and poets.
9. What can be inferred about Griots’ performances?
A. Instruments are simple but don’t help with storytelling.
B. Music and instruments enhance the cultural experience.
C. Music is just background sound with little value.
D. Modern music has replaced its traditional style.
10. How do Griots continue to be important in modern Mali?
A. By writing history books. B. By improving communication.
C. By giving legal advice. D. By enriching important events.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Mali’s Griot tradition is disappearing.
B. Griots are important in Mali’s entertainment.
C. Griots keep Mali’s culture alive via storytelling and music.
D. Music matters in the Griot tradition’s spread.
D
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) , a natural compound found in foods like broccoli and avocado, has emerged as a promising anti-aging supplement (补充物质). As people age, their levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) decline. Since NMN helps boost NAD⁺ production, scientists believe it could slow age-related decline.
The current global aging crisis urges studies in this field. With the population over 65 expected to double by 2050, age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s diseases and diabetes have gone up, leading to heavy global socioeconomic and medical burden. Therefore, age management medical practices have been mushrooming in the world for recommending nutritional supplements. And NMN serves as a direct boost to NAD⁺, a vital molecule (分子) that fuels cells with energy and repairs DNA damage.
Many studies have been done to explore NMN’s anti-aging effects in various cells and tissues, most of which were done in animal models. For example, according to Fu and Zhang, on an experiment of using NMN in preparation of anti-aging health-care products or drugs on aged mice, it was found that the NMN administration could extend the life span of mice by 29%. Fang investigated that the hearing loss happened to mice could be prevented by improving cochlear (耳蜗) health and restoring outer hair cell loss. Wang also indicated that the use of NMN contributed to the restoration of learning and cognition in rats.
However, most evidence comes from lab studies, and human trials remain limited. Also, in terms of intake, early small-scale studies suggest NMN is safe in doses up to 500 mg per day, but experts caution that unregulated high doses (such as 1, 000 mg capsules) could be risky.
Alarmingly, despite the lack of comprehensive human data, NMN supplements are already widely marketed. Dr. Jun Lu, a leading researcher, warns: “Nature perfected these systems over millions of years — lab-made versions still can’t fully copy them.” While NMN holds promise, more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness in humans.
12. Why are scientists interested in NMN?
A. Because it is a natural compound found in common foods.
B. Because it is the only effective anti-aging supplement available.
C. Because it may contribute to slowing aging by boosting NAD⁺ levels.
D. Because it has been proven to cure Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
13. The underlined word “administration” in Paragraph 3 most likely means _________.
A. government B. interruption
C. injection D. accommodation
14. Which of the following words best describes the effectiveness of NMN on humans?
A. Revolutionary. B. Promising.
C. Invasive. D. Unproven.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Animal Studies Prove NMN’s Anti-Aging Effects
B. NMN’s Potential and Risks: A Scientific Perspective
C. How NMN Supplements Are Dominating the Market
D. NMN: The Miracle Anti-Aging Solution Finally Found

Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. ____16____ Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.
One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. ____17____
The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settles in me — my throat, my stomach. ____18____” said Shaokao Cheng, co-founder of a luxury design company. As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel.
____19____ Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.
Study the art market, but not too closely.____20____ While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.
A. Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.
B. Then in time, you will find something that you love.
C. These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.
D. I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions.

Between shaky breaths, the father ____25____ that he’d turned his back for only seconds in the grocery-lot two blocks away and when he returned, his daughter, Lily, had ____26____.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the quiet town, Emily sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the blank page in her journal. She had always been a diligent student, excelling in academics and extracurricular activities, but lately, she felt a growing sense of unease. It was as if something was missing, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. She sighed, tapping her pen against the paper, and decided to take a walk to clear her mind.
The cool evening breeze brushed against her face as she wandered through the familiar streets of her neighborhood. She passed by the park where she used to play as a child, the library where she spent countless hours studying, and the café where she and her friends would gather after school. Each place held memories, but they also reminded her of the expectations she had been carrying — expectations from her parents, her teachers, and even herself. She had always been the “perfect” student, the one who never made mistakes, the one who always knew what to do. But now, she felt lost.
As she walked, she noticed a small, weathered bookstore tucked away in a corner she had never explored before. The sign above the door read, “The Journey Within.” Interested, Emily pushed open the door and stepped inside. The air was filled with the scent of old books and the soft hum of a record player in the background. The shelves were lined with books of all shapes and sizes, their spines worn from years of use. Emily’s eyes were drawn to a particular book titled The Courage to Be Imperfect. She picked it up and began to read.
The book spoke of the importance of embracing one’s flaws, of learning to be vulnerable (脆弱的), and of finding strength in imperfection. As Emily turned the pages, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. For the first time, she realized that it was okay not to have all the answers, that it was okay to make mistakes, and that growth often came from the moments when things didn’t go as planned.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks Emily began to apply the lessons from the book to her own life.

As she sat down to write in her journal again, Emily smiled.
