The Restaurant, Dolder Grand: Zurich, Switzerland
Sitting in the hills above Zurich, the Dolder Grand is home to “The Restaurant” led by chef Heiko Nieder. This two-Michelin-starred dining destination has creative dishes and impressive wine.
Hjem: Northumberland, UK

Have you ever conducted a job interview through video? Do you work remotely and mostly communicate with your colleagues through technologies like Microsoft Teams or Slack? Technologies are rapidly changing how, when, and where we work. But what impact do they have on our work motivation? We recently reviewed the research done to answer this question and unfortunately, the news is not so good.
For the most part, technologies have worsened the satisfaction of our psychological needs when we work. They are robbing us of our feelings of control and freedom because they monitor us and tell us what and how to do our work; sometimes they also pressure us to work faster. And they are decreasing our chances to create meaningful relationships with colleagues.
To fix and avoid these issues in the future, we have concluded from this review that we need to advocate for the use of psychological knowledge when designing technologies to be used in work environments. Psychologists are well equipped to advise how to design and use technologies in ways that will maintain or even improve the design of our work.
Work is considered to be well-designed when it gives us some decision-making power, provides us with performance feedback, and allows us to connect with colleagues not only to increase relatedness but also to see the impact our work has on stakeholders (利益相关者). Good work design makes our work more meaningful.
Why is this important? Because work motivation that stems from meaning and enjoyment will be increasingly important in the future of work. Indeed, as work environments and career tracks become more dynamic and precarious, we need workers to be more active and flexible for the changeable situation. And motivation through meaning and enjoyment makes people more active and flexible.
So, when you hear your employer wants to introduce new technologies in your workplace, ask them if they have used the service of psychology experts. It will ensure your work keeps being designed in a way that will make it meaningful and enjoyable.
4. According to the recent research review, how do technologies affect our work?
A. They decrease our working efficiency.
B. They increase our psychological needs.
C. They improve our relationships with colleagues.
D. They reduce our work motivation for creativity.
5. What does the author suggest for introducing technologies in work?
A. Updating technical equipment. B. Consulting psychology experts.
C. Reviewing the former research. D. Improving the design of our work.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The process of good work design. B. The potential decision-making power.
C. The characteristic of well-designed work. D. The meaning of connection with colleagues.
7. What does the underlined word “precarious” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Uncertain. B. Unavoidable. C. Rewarding. D. Straightforward.
C
“Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success.
However, is this necessarily a good thing? Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems.
Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you.
So my simple advice to you is to do what gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill.
8. Why does the writer mention the glass at the beginning of the text?
A. To give some evidence. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present an argument. D. To explain his ideas.
9. What is the writer’s attitude to the person who remains positive across all situations?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. The cause of overly positivity.
B. The prevention of overly positivity.
C. The bad effect of overly positivity on others.
D. The bad impacts of overly positivity on personal emotion.
11. Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A. Positivity is the key to success.
B. We needn’t stay positive all the time.
C. There isn’t such a thing as overly positive.
D. Positivity always does a harm effect to our lives.
D
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as ‘the last paradise on earth’.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. Overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most in a rush to make quick money. In recent years, Nepal’s forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise, with the consequent destruction of precious trees and plants.
The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
12. What does the underlined sentence of Para. 1 imply about tourism expansion?
A. Its technical challenge. B. Its positive social effects.
C Its potential drawbacks. D. Its undervalued profitability.
13. Why does the author mention “Nepal” in Para. 2?
A. To support an argument. B. To make comparison.
C. To show cause and effect. D. To group related ideas.
14. What is the main impact of tourism on farmers based on the text?
A. Increased opportunities. B. Improved work-life balance.
C. Transformed livelihood. D. Enhanced social status.
15 What may determine the future of tourism?
A. Cultural diversity. B. Off-track destinations.
C. Stable market. D. Strengthened management.

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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
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.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了技术对我们工作动机影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For the most part, technologies have worsened the satisfaction of our psychological needs when we work. They are robbing us of our feelings of control and freedom because they monitor us and tell us what and how to do our work; sometimes they also pressure us to work faster. And they are decreasing our chances to create meaningful relationships with colleagues. (在大多数情况下,技术恶化了我们工作时心理需求的满足。他们剥夺了我们的控制感和自由感,因为他们监视我们并告诉我们做什么以及如何做我们的工作;有时他们也会迫使我们更快地工作。它们正在减少我们与同事建立有意义的关系的机会。)” 可知,技术降低了我们创造性的工作动机。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To fix and avoid these issues in the future, we have concluded from this review that we need to advocate for the use of psychological knowledge when designing technologies to be used in work environments. Psychologists are well equipped to advise how to design and use technologies in ways that will maintain or even improve the design of our work. (为了在未来解决和避免这些问题,我们从这篇综述中得出结论,在设计用于工作环境的技术时,我们需要倡导使用心理学知识。心理学家有能力就如何设计和使用技术提出建议,以保持甚至改进我们的工作设计。)”可知,对于在工作中引入技术,作者的建议是要咨询心理学专家。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Work is considered to be well-designed when it gives us some decision-making power, provides us with performance feedback, and allows us to connect with colleagues not only to increase relatedness but also to see the impact our work has on stakeholders(利益相关者). Good work design makes our work more meaningful.(当工作赋予我们一些决策权,为我们提供绩效反馈,并允许我们与同事联系,不仅可以增加相关性,还可以看到我们的工作对利益相关者的影响时,就被认为是精心设计的。好的工作设计使我们的工作更有意义。)”可知,本段主要讲精心设计工作的特点。故选C项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Indeed, as work environments and career tracks become more dynamic and precarious, we need workers to be more active and flexible for the changeable situation. (事实上,随着工作环境和职业轨道变得更加动态和precarious,我们需要员工更加积极和灵活地应对多变的情况。)”中的“need workers to be more active and flexible for the changeable situation”可推断,此处表达工作环境和职业轨迹变得更加容易变化、不确定,precarious意为“不确定”与uncertain“多变的,不确定的”的意思一致。故选A项。
C
“Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success.
However, is this necessarily a good thing? Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems.
Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you.
So my simple advice to you is to do what gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill.
8. Why does the writer mention the glass at the beginning of the text?
A. To give some evidence. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present an argument. D. To explain his ideas.
9. What is the writer’s attitude to the person who remains positive across all situations?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. The cause of overly positivity.
B. The prevention of overly positivity.
C. The bad effect of overly positivity on others.
D. The bad impacts of overly positivity on personal emotion.
11. Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A. Positivity is the key to success.
B. We needn’t stay positive all the time.
C. There isn’t such a thing as overly positive.
D. Positivity always does a harm effect to our lives.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过度积极会对自己和身边的人产生消极影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. (“杯子是半空的还是半满的?”这句古老的英语谚语一直被用来区分悲观主义者和乐观主义者。对于今天的大多数年轻人来说,答案通常是“半满”,因为我们一直被教导积极的生活态度是成功的主要关键之一)”和第二段中的“But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems. (但事实上,我们经历任何情绪都是正常的。宠物或爱人去世,考试成绩不佳,或者堆积如山的新作业,这些都应该导致悲伤、沮丧和愤怒等情绪。如果我们仅仅因为想在朋友和家人面前显得乐观而隐藏这些情绪,它们就会在我们内心积聚,最终以意想不到的方式爆发。有新的证据表明,许多过于乐观的人有吸毒或酗酒成瘾的风险,也有其他心理问题。)”及第三段中的“Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. (除了对个人情感的影响,这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。)”可知,作者在第一段提到那杯水是为了引出话题,即过度积极会对自己和身边的人产生消极影响。故选B。

(除了对个人情感的影响,这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。想象一下,有一天过得很糟糕,你想和你的朋友谈谈。然而,他们不是倾听你的问题,同情你,而是简单地告诉你要“积极”,给你的印象是你的问题完全被忽视了)”可知,作者在这两段分别阐述了过度积极对自己和身边的人的消极影响。可知,作者对于在任何情况下都保持积极状态的人持不赞同的态度。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you.(除了对个人情感的影响,这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。)”可知,第三段主要介绍了过度积极会对周围的人产生消极影响。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第三段中的“Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. (除了对个人情感的影响,这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。)”可知,本文主要介绍了过度积极会对自己和身边的人产生消极影响。由此可推知,作者可能会赞同“We needn’t stay positive all the time. (我们不需要时刻保持积极)”这一观点。故选B。
D
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as ‘the last paradise on earth’.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. Overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most in a rush to make quick money. In recent years, Nepal’s forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise, with the consequent destruction of precious trees and plants.
The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
12. What does the underlined sentence of Para. 1 imply about tourism expansion?
A. Its technical challenge. B. Its positive social effects.
C. Its potential drawbacks. D. Its undervalued profitability.
13. Why does the author mention “Nepal” in Para. 2?
A. To support an argument. B. To make comparison.
C. To show cause and effect. D. To group related ideas.
14. What is the main impact of tourism on farmers based on the text?
A. Increased opportunities. B. Improved work-life balance.
C. Transformed livelihood. D. Enhanced social status.
15. What may determine the future of tourism?
A. Cultural diversity. B. Off-track destinations.
C. Stable market. D. Strengthened management.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着旅游业需求的快速增长,旅游业的开发也加速发展,但过度开发对环境和人们的生活以及旅游业的发展带来了负面的影响。随着人们对旅游业的认识的提高,应注意旅游业和环境保护及经济的协调发展,这样旅游业才有美好的前途。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as ‘the last paradise on earth’.(人们可能会认为,旅游业日益增长的需求只会给接待度假者的国家带来好处。事实上,度假业的长期前景被描绘成一幅美好的画面。每个月都有新旅馆在某处落成。而且每个月都会有一个被岩石环绕的太平洋岛屿被宣传为“地球上最后的天堂”)”可知,划线的句子暗示了旅游业的发展潜在的缺点。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. Overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most in a rush to make quick money. In recent years, Nepal’s forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise, with the consequent destruction of precious trees and plants.(然而,这种增长的规模和速度似乎会破坏游客想要享受的东西。过度拥挤的海滩和不计其数的酒店组成的混凝土丛林已经开始失去吸引力。那些没有旅游经验的国家在急于赚钱的过程中受害最大。近年来,尼泊尔的森林充满了野生动物和稀有花卉,被游客视为又一个未被破坏的天堂,随之而来的是珍贵的树木和植物遭到破坏)”可知,作者在第2段提到“尼泊尔”来支持论点。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.(曾经的农民现在是一些跨国组织的仆人;他不再是自己的主人了。曾经是他的背承受着疼痛;现在,他的笑容被利用了。毫无疑问,他在想,在自己的村子里种地是不是更快乐)”可知,旅游业对农民的主要影响是生计改变。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit.(未来十年,旅游业的发展方式将决定它的命运,也将决定我们都想去旅游的国家的命运)”可知,加强管理会决定旅游业的未来。故选D。

【16题详解】
上文“Happiness is considered very important in life. It is so powerful that it affects many things in your life—your sleep, relationships, health, study and work.(幸福被认为是生活中非常重要的。它是如此强大,以至于它影响着你生活中的许多事情——睡眠、人际关系、健康、学习和工作。)”提到了幸福的重要性,影响着生活中许多东西;下文“Happiness doesn’t happen spontaneously—it requires planning towards pursuing things that matter to us.(幸福不是自然而然发生的——它需要有计划地追求对我们重要的事情。)”提到了幸福不是自然而然发生的,需要有计划地追求,此处开始介绍获得幸福的方式。由此可推知,设空处为过渡句,需要引出下文。E项“Happiness is not something ready-made, but comes from your own actions.(幸福不是现成的,而是来自于你自己的行动。)”恰好能引出下文。故选E项。
【17题详解】
上文“Happiness doesn’t happen spontaneously—it requires planning towards pursuing things that matter to us.(幸福不是自然而然发生的——它需要有计划地追求对我们重要的事情。)”提到了幸福不是自然而然发生的,需要有计划地追求;下文“It’s necessary to set goals to look forward to and follow an actionable plan to achieve them, which can boost your self-confidence and reduce stress and anxiety.(设定目标并遵循可行的计划来实现它们是很有必要的,这可以增强你的自信,减少压力和焦虑。)”提到了设定目标并按可行的计划来实现很有必要。由此可推知,此处与“按照计划设定目标”息息相关,F项“Goal setting is important, since it forms the outline for the life you envision.(设定目标很重要,因为它勾勒出了你想象的生活的轮廓。)”与上下文对应,故选F项。
【18题详解】
设空处位于段首,需能概括本段内容;下文“When you are feeling negative about yourself, ask yourself what advice you would give a friend who was down on himself or herself.(当你对自己感到消极时,问问自己,你会给一个对自己失望的朋友什么建议。)”提到了当对自己感到消极时,问问自己会给对自己失望的朋友什么建议。由此可推知,本段重点强调“自己”,把自己当成朋友。B项“Sometimes, you need to treat yourself like a friend.(有时候,你需要像对待朋友一样对待自己。)”与下文对应。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据段首句“Keeping moving is also a good way.(保持运动也是一个好方法)”可知,本段与运动息息相关;上文“We don’t know if moving makes you happy or if happy people just move more, but we do know that more activity goes hand-in-hand with better health and greater happiness.(我们不知道运动是否会让你快乐,或者快乐的人只是多运动,但我们知道更多的运动与更好的健康和更大的快乐相伴而生。)”提到了运动与健康和快乐相伴;下文“Sunlight makes a difference. Spend time outside or live in a space with natural light.(阳光也有影响。花时间在户外或有自然光的地方生活。)”提到了去户外或有自然光的地方生活。由此可知,此处是建议去户外运动。C项“Studies also support that spending time in nature is good for you.(研究也表明,花时间在大自然中对你有好处。)”与上下文对应。故选C项。
【20题详解】
上文“It is surely that our happiness is linked with the happiness of others.(毫无疑问,我们的幸福是与他人的幸福联系在一起的。)”提到了我们的幸福与他人的幸福有关;下文“Happiness is infectious, so stay with people who are happy, supportive and give you positive feedback.(幸福是会传染的,所以和幸福的、支持你的、能给你积极反馈的人呆在一起。)”提到了幸福会传染;由此可推知,此处是在建议和幸福的人待在一起。G项“People who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy.(被快乐的人包围的人更有可能变得快乐。)”与上下文对应。故选G项。

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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
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.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.
