Summer Reading Program
Welcome to Brown Summer Reading!
Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information.
Every student must join at least one book club this summer.
Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life.
Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life.
Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound.
Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people.
However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections.
To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information.
21. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A school textbook. B. A school website.
C. A reading club’s annual report. D. A book store website.

The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn’t want summer to end, but I was eager to go to high school for my first week.
When I got to school on the morning of the first day, I realized how large the school was and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. And then a kind senior showed up and guided me to my classroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Jimmy. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher.
After finishing four periods, I didn’t feel too bad. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My literature teacher is Mr. Smith. He told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this term. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was anxious.
The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的) : the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience that I had never had before was really exciting.
Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people.
24. How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start?
A Confused. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Relaxed.
25. What happened to the author on his first day of high school?
A. He was late for class. B. He got help on the campus.
C. He was praised by his science teacher. D. He made friends with Jimmy.
26. What made the author anxious in the fifth period?
A. The strict rules in classes.
B. Forty AP-level books he had to read.
C. The requirements from his literature teacher.
D. The reading homework on the first day of high school.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. My first week in high school. B. My best friend in high school.
C. The challenge I met in high school. D. The subject I like in high school.

Learn English in Seven: Use the Power of Seven to Improve Your English is a useful guide for anyone who wants to improve their English skills in a simple and affordable way. Written by Josef Essberger, an experienced English teacher, this book presents a unique method of learning by breaking down the process into seven easy steps. Each step focuses on a different area of language learning, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced learners.
The seven key areas covered in the book are words, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, writing, and pronunciation. The author does not just focus on theoretical (理论的) knowledge, but also offers practical advice and real-life examples to help readers apply what they learn. For example, instead of merely memorizing English words, the book shows how to use new words in everyday conversations. This makes learning more enjoyable and useful in daily life.
One of the advantages of this book is its clear and organized structure (结构). Each part explores one of the seven areas, and it features easy-to-understand explanations and exercises. These exercises allow readers to practice and remember what they have learned. The book also encourages readers to set achievable goals, which can keep them focused throughout their learning journey.
Another important feature of Learn English in Seven is its emphasis (强调) on self-study. Josef provides tips on how to track progress, manage time, and develop a good habit that works for learners. This is perfect for high school students who want to study independently and improve their English outside the classroom.
Overall, Learn English in Seven is a valuable resource for students who want to become more confident in their English skills. Whether you are preparing for exams or simply want to communicate more fluently, this book can help you reach your language goals.

Instead of using a credit card or smartphone to pay for your goods, Amazon wants you to use your hands. In a blog post. Dilip Kumar, vice president of Amazon Physical Retail introduced the company's' palm recognition(掌纹识别) technology, known as Amazon One. The technology, first rolling out in Amazon's home market of Seattle: will use people's palms to identify(确认身份) them and combine that with details of the palm, such as lines and ridges, to build “palm signature.”
In addition to the trial in the company's stores in Seattle, starting today, Kumar added that Amazon One will come to other Amazon stores and will be used for more than just paying with your palm. "We believe Amazon one has broad applicability beyond our retail stores, so we also plan to offer the service to third parties like retailers(零售店), stadiums, and office buildings so that more people can benefit from this ease and convenience in more places, "Kumar added.
Though Amazon has introduced other ways to pay for goods at its physical stores. including the use of Cameras and an app linked to your Amazon account. Kumar explained palm recognition offers another level of privacy.
"We selected palm recognition for a few important reasons, Kumar wrote. "One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than other biometric (生物统计的) identifiers because you can't determine a person's identity by looking at a picture of their palm. It also requires users to make an intentional gesture by holding their palm over the device to use. This puts customers in control of when and where they use the service. What's more, it's contactless, which we think customers will appreciate, especially in current times.
To use Amazon One, people don't need an Amazon account, but simply phone number and a credit card. For those concerned about privacy, Kumar wrote, users can delete their biometric data if they decide they no longer want to use it.
32. Which of the following best describes Amazon One?
A. Convenient and safe. B. Private and inexpensive.
C. Widespread and user-friendly D. Healthy and popular.
33. From the first three paragraphs we can infer that_______.
A. Amazon One is designed for Amazon online stores.
B. Amazons' palm recognition technology is the best in the world.
C. Amazon One has not yet been used in places beyond Amazon stores.
D. Amazon provides various services for society.
34. What makes palm recognition a better way to pay than using a camera and an app.
A. Palm recognition makes fewer mistakes.
B. Customers don't need to make intentional gestures.
C. Customers can use their palm to open an Amazon account.
D. Customers can control when and where to use it.
35. Which section of a website is the passage most possibly from?
A. Online shopping. B. Business news.
C. Education. D. Advertisement.

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。
Reading isn’t just a method of gaining information; it’s a powerful tool that can enrich your inner world and improve your quality of life. However, not everyone can fully benefit from books because of improper reading techniques or a lack of concentration. ____36____
The first, and maybe the most important step toward effective reading is creating a suitable environment. Choose a comfortable place: a cozy sofa, a comfortable chair, or a great bed. ____37____ Too bright can harm your eyes, while too dim (昏暗的) can make you sleepy. Aim to read in conditions free from noises that could break your focus.
Before diving into a book, make yourself familiar with its structure and table of contents. ____38____ For example. If you’re reading a popular science book, go through its chapters quickly to get an idea of the central themes. This not only speeds up the reading but also improves your understanding of the material.
____39____ Spare time for reading every day — this could be in the morning before work or in the evening before bed. For instance, you could develop a habit of reading for 20 minutes before going to sleep to relax and prepare for rest. It’s been proven that regular reading helps reduce stress levels, improve people’s states of mind, and even better their cognitive (认知的) abilities. ____40____
By following these simple strategies, you’ll not only make reading more enjoyable but also increase your efficiency (效率), turning the act into a true pleasure and a means of personal development.
A. Make sure the lighting is just right.
B Think of it as a training for your brain.
C. Identify what you need to find in the text.
D. This will help you grasp the main ideas and key points.
E. It’s important to master a few effective reading strategies.

67. 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。
This story occurred during our trip to the US in 2013. My husband and I decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea scenic spot, which is about three hours drive from the city of Boston. Our daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at 8 am at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston. We decided on returning home on our own in the evening as we thought that we could catch a local train to Salem from Boston. Our daughter insisted that she would pick us up in the evening but we were confident of our ability to find our way and not wanting to trouble her, so we refused her offer.
We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. We thought that the Boston commuter (通勤) rail station was close to the last but one stage before the drop-off point and so got off the bus at that stage. My husband has a very good memory and a keen sense of direction and so I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. We found ourselves to be just going round with the station nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were deserted with not many people walking around. We did find a few but initially were a bit hesitant to ask strangers for directions. Finally, having no other option, we approached a gentleman, who himself was struggling with a road map and so our inquiry was in vain! We started getting worried. We had no cell phone to call our daughter either.
Next, we saw a young American guy coming from the opposite direction. We approached him and explained the dilemma in which we were placed. On hearing our problem, he personally took us to the station, which was just a few blocks away. On reaching there, we found to our disappointment that the dollar coins which we put in the narrow hole of the ticket machine just fell through the hole without printing our tickets.
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。
Another guy standing near the machine told us that the machine was out of order.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On reaching home, we told our folks about this.

Summer Reading Program
Welcome to Brown Summer Reading!
Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information.
Every student must join at least one book club this summer.
Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life.
Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life.
Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound.
Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people.
However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections.
To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information.
21. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A school textbook. B. A school website.
C. A reading club’s annual report. D. A book store website.
22. Which club is suitable for students who like reading poems?
A. Club 1. B. Club 2. C. Club 3. D. Club 4.
23. What will students get to know from the Peer page?
A. Their teachers’ favorite books. B. Their classmates’ favorite books.
C. Reading recommendations from writers. D. Reading recommendations from teachers.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了布朗高中的暑期阅读计划,包括阅读俱乐部的分类以及如何选择“不太可能的选择”书籍。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information.(你可以在此页面上看到阅读俱乐部的介绍,并点击不同链接以查看更多详细信息)”可推知,这段文字很可能来自学校网站。故选B。

The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn’t want summer to end, but I was eager to go to high school for my first week.
When I got to school on the morning of the first day, I realized how large the school was and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. And then a kind senior showed up and guided me to my classroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Jimmy. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher.
After finishing four periods, I didn’t feel too bad. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My literature teacher is Mr. Smith. He told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this term. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was anxious.
The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的) : the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience that I had never had before was really exciting.
Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people.
24. How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start?
A. Confused. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Relaxed.
25. What happened to the author on his first day of high school?
A. He was late for class. B. He got help on the campus.
C. He was praised by his science teacher. D. He made friends with Jimmy.
26. What made the author anxious in the fifth period?
A. The strict rules in classes.
B. Forty AP-level books he had to read.
C. The requirements from his literature teacher.
D. The reading homework on the first day of high school.

A. My first week in high school. B. My best friend in high school.
C. The challenge I met in high school. D. The subject I like in high school.

Instead of using a credit card or smartphone to pay for your goods, Amazon wants you to use your hands. In a blog post. Dilip Kumar, vice president of Amazon Physical Retail introduced the company's' palm recognition(掌纹识别) technology, known as Amazon One. The technology, first rolling out in Amazon's home market of Seattle: will use people's palms to identify(确认身份) them and combine that with details of the palm, such as lines and ridges, to build “palm signature.”
In addition to the trial in the company's stores in Seattle, starting today, Kumar added that Amazon One will come to other Amazon stores and will be used for more than just paying with your palm. "We believe Amazon one has broad applicability beyond our retail stores, so we also plan to offer the service to third parties like retailers(零售店), stadiums, and office buildings so that more people can benefit from this ease and convenience in more places, "Kumar added.
Though Amazon has introduced other ways to pay for goods at its physical stores. including the use of Cameras and an app linked to your Amazon account. Kumar explained palm recognition offers another level of privacy.
"We selected palm recognition for a few important reasons, Kumar wrote. "One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than other biometric (生物统计的) identifiers because you can't determine a person's identity by looking at a picture of their palm. It also requires users to make an intentional gesture by holding their palm over the device to use. This puts customers in control of when and where they use the service. What's more, it's contactless, which we think customers will appreciate, especially in current times.
To use Amazon One, people don't need an Amazon account, but simply phone number and a credit card. For those concerned about privacy, Kumar wrote, users can delete their biometric data if they decide they no longer want to use it.
32. Which of the following best describes Amazon One?
A. Convenient and safe. B. Private and inexpensive.
C. Widespread and user-friendly D. Healthy and popular.
33. From the first three paragraphs we can infer that_______.
A. Amazon One is designed for Amazon online stores.
B. Amazons' palm recognition technology is the best in the world.
C. Amazon One has not yet been used in places beyond Amazon stores.
D. Amazon provides various services for society.
34. What makes palm recognition a better way to pay than using a camera and an app.
A. Palm recognition makes fewer mistakes.
B. Customers don't need to make intentional gestures.
C. Customers can use their palm to open an Amazon account.
D Customers can control when and where to use it.
35. Which section of a website is the passage most possibly from?
A. Online shopping. B. Business news.
C. Education. D. Advertisement.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
Reading isn’t just a method of gaining information; it’s a powerful tool that can enrich your inner world and improve your quality of life. However, not everyone can fully benefit from books because of improper reading techniques or a lack of concentration. ____36____
The first, and maybe the most important step toward effective reading is creating a suitable environment. Choose a comfortable place: a cozy sofa, a comfortable chair, or a great bed. ____37____ Too bright can harm your eyes, while too dim (昏暗的) can make you sleepy. Aim to read in conditions free from noises that could break your focus.
Before diving into a book, make yourself familiar with its structure and table of contents. ____38____ For example. If you’re reading a popular science book, go through its chapters quickly to get an idea of the central themes. This not only speeds up the reading but also improves your understanding of the material.
____39____ Spare time for reading every day — this could be in the morning before work or in the evening before bed. For instance, you could develop a habit of reading for 20 minutes before going to sleep to relax and prepare for rest. It’s been proven that regular reading helps reduce stress levels, improve people’s states of mind, and even better their cognitive (认知的) abilities. ____40____
By following these simple strategies, you’ll not only make reading more enjoyable but also increase your efficiency (效率), turning the act into a true pleasure and a means of personal development.
A. Make sure the lighting is just right.
B. Think of it as a training for your brain.
C. Identify what you need to find in the text.
D. This will help you grasp the main ideas and key points.

【36题详解】
根据上文“However, not everyone can fully benefit from books because of improper reading techniques or a lack of concentration. (然而,由于不当的阅读技巧或注意力不集中,并非每个人都能从书籍中充分获益。)”可知,此处提出了人们阅读时存在的问题,下文“The first, and maybe the most important step toward effective reading is creating a suitable environment. (实现有效阅读的第一步,或许也是最重要的一步,是营造一个适宜的环境。)”开始介绍有效阅读的方法,所以空处应起到承上启下的作用,引出有效的阅读策略。E选项“It’s important to master a few effective reading strategies. (掌握一些有效的阅读策略很重要。)”既指出了解决上文问题的关键在于掌握策略,又为下文介绍具体策略做了铺垫,符合语境。故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Choose a comfortable place: a cozy sofa, a comfortable chair, or a great bed. (选择一个舒适的地方:一张舒适的沙发、一把舒服的椅子或者一张不错的床。)”可知,此处讲述营造适宜阅读环境需选择舒适的地点,下文“Too bright can harm your eyes, while too dim (昏暗的) can make you sleepy. (光线太亮会伤害眼睛,而太暗则会让你犯困。)”提到了光线对阅读的影响,所以空处应围绕阅读环境中的光线展开。A选项“Make sure the lighting is just right. (确保光线恰到好处。)”既承接上文营造适宜环境的话题,又引出下文对光线明暗影响的阐述,符合语境。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Before diving into a book, make yourself familiar with its structure and table of contents. (在深入阅读一本书之前,先熟悉它的结构和目录。)”可知,此处建议阅读前熟悉书籍结构和目录,下文“For example. If you’re reading a popular science book, go through its chapters quickly to get an idea of the central themes. (例如,如果你正在读一本科普书,快速浏览它的章节,以了解核心主题。)”举例说明熟悉书籍结构和目录的具体作用,所以空处应总结熟悉书籍结构和目录的好处。D选项“This will help you grasp the main ideas and key points. (这将帮助你掌握主要思想和要点。)”中的“This”指代上文“熟悉书籍结构和目录”,且“掌握主要思想和要点”与下文“了解核心主题”相呼应,符合语境。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Spare time for reading every day — this could be in the morning before work or in the evening before bed. For instance, you could develop a habit of reading for 20 minutes before going to sleep to relax and prepare for rest. (每天抽出时间阅读——可以在上班前的早上,也可以在睡前的晚上。例如,你可以养成睡前阅读20分钟的习惯,以放松身心,为休息做准备。)”可知,本段主要讲述要每天安排时间阅读,养成阅读习惯,所以空处应作为本段小标题,概括该段主题。F选项“Equally important is making reading a part of your daily routine. (同样重要的是让阅读成为你日常生活的一部分。)”能够准确概括本段“每日阅读、养成习惯”的核心内容,且与上文介绍的“营造环境、熟悉结构”等策略形成并列,符合小标题特征。故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“It’s been proven that regular reading helps reduce stress levels, improve people’s state of minds, and even better their cognitive (认知的) abilities. (事实证明,规律阅读有助于减轻压力,改善心态,甚至提高认知能力。)”可知,此处阐述了规律阅读对身心和认知的益处,空处应进一步对这些益处进行总结或补充说明。B选项“Think of it as a training for your brain. (把它看作是对大脑的一种训练。)”中的“it”指代上文“规律阅读”,且“对大脑的训练”是对“提高认知能力”等益处的形象化补充,符合语境。故选B项。

64. used 65. to protect
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了毛笔的象征意义、历史以及对毛笔制作技艺的保护等。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:也许毛笔是人类发明的为数不多的工具之一,几个世纪以来,它既非常实用又有非常丰富的象征意义。主句中已有系动词 is,所以设空处应用非谓语动词,结合句意可知,此处作后置定语,修饰名词短语 the few tools;the few tools 和 invent 之间是逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填invented。
【57题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:也许毛笔是人类发明的为数不多的工具之一,几个世纪以来,它既非常实用又有非常丰富的象征意义。century意为“世纪”,为可数名词。空前没有限定词修饰,应用名词复数。over centuries 意为“几个世纪以来”。故填centuries。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它不仅表达了普通人的情感,而且记录了历史,创造了中国文化中最精致的艺术和文学,极大地影响了中华文明的发展道路。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作结果状语,句子主语 “it”(指代毛笔)与 “influence”之间是主动关系,且“影响中华文明的发展道路”是前文所述内容带来的自然结果,故用现在分词。故填influencing。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:毛笔不仅是中国文化的代表,也是中国文化的创造者。设空处作表语,根据空前的the和空后的of Chinese culture可知,此处应用名词,表示毛笔是中国文化的创造者,creator意为“创造者”,为可数名词。此处的“创造者”指代前文的The writing brush,表示单数概念,应用名词单数。故填creator。
【60题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:秦国的大将军蒙恬长期以来被认为是毛笔的始祖。分析句子可知,be considered as意为“被认为是……”,为固定搭配。故填as。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他看到一只倒霉的兔子的尾巴在地上留下了一连串血迹,这启发了他制作历史上中国的第一支毛笔。根据句意可知,此处泛指一只倒霉的兔子,且unlucky的发音以元音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他看到一只倒霉的兔子的尾巴在地上留下了一连串血迹,这启发了他制作历史上中国的第一支毛笔。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面的整个主句,关系词在从句中作主语,所以应用which引导该从句。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:事实上,中国毛笔的历史至少可以追溯至6,000年前。此处需用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。“actual”的副词形式为“actually”,意为“事实上”,注意句首首字母大写。故填Actually。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:考古证据表明,6,000多年前,居住在今天陕西西安以东10千米的半坡遗址的人们用毛刷绘制图案和线条。在that引导的宾语从句中,主语为people,设空处作谓语。结合时间状语more than 6, 000 years ago可知,此处表示过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填used。
【65题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:为了保护这一古老的工艺,湖笔制作技术于2006年被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。分析句子可知,此处in an effort to do sth为固定搭配,意为“努力做某事”。故填to protect。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
67. 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。
This story occurred during our trip to the US in 2013. My husband and I decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea scenic spot, which is about three hours drive from the city of Boston. Our daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at 8 am at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston. We decided on returning home on our own in the evening as we thought that we could catch a local train to Salem from Boston. Our daughter insisted that she would pick us up in the evening but we were confident of our ability to find our way and not wanting to trouble her, so we refused her offer.
We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. We thought that the Boston commuter (通勤) rail station was close to the last but one stage before the drop-off point and so got off the bus at that stage. My husband has a very good memory and a keen sense of direction and so I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. We found ourselves to be just going round with the station nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were deserted with not many people walking around. We did find a few but initially were a bit hesitant to ask strangers for directions. Finally, having no other option, we approached a gentleman, who himself was struggling with a road map and so our inquiry was in vain! We started getting worried. We had no cell phone to call our daughter either.
Next, we saw a young American guy coming from the opposite direction. We approached him and explained the dilemma in which we were placed. On hearing our problem, he personally took us to the station, which was just a few blocks away. On reaching there, we found to our disappointment that the dollar coins which we put in the narrow hole of the ticket machine just fell through the hole without printing our tickets.
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。
Another guy standing near the machine told us that the machine was out of order.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On reaching home, we told our folks about this.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Another guy who was standing near the machine told us that the machine was out of order. Without a moment’s pause, the helpful man swiftly pulled out his credit card and used it to buy the tickets for us. “Here you go,” he said with a warm smile, handing over the tickets. Though we offered him the money, he politely declined, giving us the sense that his kindness was entirely unconditional. He even checked the train schedule and urged us to hurry, as the next train was due to depart within minutes. With a cheerful “Goodbye and have a great day,” he waved us off.
On reaching home, we told our folks about this. They were deeply touched and asked if we had taken the young man’s name to acknowledge his kindness publicly — perhaps through The Boston Globe. Sadly, we hadn’t, lost in the rush and emotion of the moment. Yet, his anonymity made the gesture even more profound. His selfless help turned a stressful evening into a lasting memory-one that reaffirmed our belief in the power of simple, genuine human kindness.
