Childhood stories don’t just exist within the pages of books. They extend beyond them breathing life into real-world destinations. These places, rich in literary history, invite travelers to step into the worlds of their favorite tales.
The World of Winnie the Pooh
Deep in the heart of England lies Ashdown Forest, which inspired A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. The Hundred Acre Wood, while fictional, reflects the essence (精髓) of Ashdown, a literary travel destination offering pleasant discoveries.
Journey Through Alice’s Wonderland
Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, was deeply influenced by his surroundings at Oxford’s Christ Church College. Alice Liddell, the daughter of the college’s dean (系主任), was the real-life inspiration for his central character. Their shared moments were the essence of the tales. The Alice Shop on St. Aldate’s Street sells Alice-themed goods. It’s more than just a store; it’s a step through the looking glass.
In Search of the Secret Garden
Set against the moody backdrop (背景) of Yorkshire’s moors (沼泽), Frances Hodgson Burnett paints a vivid picture of England’s green expanses in The Secret Garden. While the novel’s garden is fictional, Yorkshire’s historic Helmsley Walled Garden is very real and stands as proof of its charm.
On the Trail of Anne of Green Gables
L. M. Montgomery, the creator of the Anne of Green Gables series, had an unbreakable bond with Prince Edward Island, Canada. The island was the canvas on which she painted her stories. Central to Anne’s tale is the Green Gables Heritage Place. This farmhouse, with its iconic green-roofed structure, is the essence of the novel. Located in Cavendish, the farmhouse allows visitors to wander through Anne’s room and relive their favorite chapters.

“I don’t have to be a millionaire to help animals or people. A thought is what matters.” This simple yet powerful realization set 29-year-old Deeksha Chauhan on a path where she breathes life into animals through realism and hyperrealism (超写实主义), hoping to challenge the way humans interact with wildlife.
Deeksha’s journey with art began early, encouraged by her teacher, who introduced her to various creative forms. While she enjoyed dance and music, painting always drew her in the most. However, her parents thought it was a terrible career path. They had a different plan for her future — an engineering degree at Vidya College, Meerut. She completed her degree in 2016 and entered the business world. But time and again, she felt she wasn’t truly interested in it.
“In August 2019, I decided to become the teacher I was searching for and started to learn art by watching online courses,” Deeksha says. She followed international artists and paid close attention to paintings on the Internet. “Over time, I taught myself realism and hyperrealism,” she shares proudly.
Deeksha’s choice to become a wildlife artist came from a personal loss. “I lost my pet dog — he breathed his last in my arms. I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says.
While Deeksha works every day to improve her artistic skills, her main focus lies in giving back to animals through art. “Right now, with the money earned from art, I support people who take part in animal protection efforts,” she shares.
“I love travelling alone and staying with the locals. In return I teach their children about insects, wildlife, and the importance of not harming any animals,” she explains. Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection.
4. What was Deeksha’s parents’ attitude towards her passion for painting?
A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Expectant. D. Opposed.
5. How did Deeksha learn realism and hyperrealism painting skills?
A. By studying online resources. B. By having art education in college.
C. By taking courses from international artists. D. By watching online courses from an art school.
6. What inspired Deeksha to become a wildlife artist?
A. The death of her pet dog. B. Her desire to earn more money.
C. Her dissatisfaction with previous jobs. D. The suggestion for painting from her teacher.
7. What is Deeksha’s future goal?
A. To improve her painting skills. B. To teach more children about art.
C. To raise more money for wildlife. D. To sell her paintings at higher prices.

C
Facial expressions aren’t the only way we express our emotions — body language also plays a crucial role. The way our body moves when laughing at a show is different from how we move when staying together with an old friend. Although both are expressions of happiness, finding common patterns across different situations is difficult. These patterns become particularly challenging to define when we consider cross-cultural differences as well.
Researchers from the Research Institute of Electrical Communication at Tohoku University (Japan) dealt with these challenges by collecting body movements from different situations, emotions and personal styles in a motion capture (动作捕捉) lab. Unlike previous databases that focused on simple and repetitive actions (e. g. walking sadly, walking happily, walking angrily), and were primarily based on Western populations, this new database aims to capture a wide range of emotional bodily expressions across various situations, with a focus on Japanese people born and raised in Japan.
To build this database, six professional performers were asked to think back to situations that made them happy, angry, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的) or contemptuous (轻蔑的) and act them out using full-body movement. Their performances were recorded using high-speed motion capture technology, in which the 3-D information of movements was captured as a video. The recordings were later processed into simple stick figure-like animations (简笔画式动画).
Study members watched these animations and discerned the expressed emotions. The results showed that they could recognize the emotions only from body movements, and the accuracy was as good as past simple action databases. Among the emotions studied, anger and fear were the easiest to recognize, while contempt and disgust were the hardest.
Future research can use this database to improve understanding of cultural differences in nonverbal communication. This will be helpful in developing technology communication tools to promote cross-cultural communication and understanding. This resource is expected to benefit researchers and industries using motion capture techniques such as gaming, film, animation and virtual reality.
8. What is the uniqueness of the new study?
A. Its focus on simple and repetitive actions.
B. Its analysis of Western and Japanese populations.
C. Its exploration of cultural differences in body language.
D. Its transition from facial expressions to body movements.
9. What were the six performers asked to do?
A. Change the recordings into animations.
B. Move their bodies accurately as ordered.
C. Express their emotions as clearly as possible.
D. Remember and act out personal emotional experiences.
10 What does the underlined word “discerned” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Hid. B. Drew. C. Understood. D. Controlled.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The future direction of the study.
B. The significance of the new database.
C. The impact of cross-cultural communication.
D. The advantages of nonverbal communication.

At a summer party, mosquitoes (蚊子) bite some guests while luckier guests remain bite-free. “It feels personal sometimes — like, why are they biting me?” says Lisa Baik, a sensory biologist. Knowing what causes mosquitoes to bite — or not — can help researchers create better ways to stop them.
Baik’s team finds that mosquitoes also taste the surfaces on which they land. In fact, sweat may play a big role in whether they bite. Human sweat contains water, salt and amino acids (氨基酸). To see what mosquitoes prefer, the researchers placed salt and amino acids on separate surfaces. Mosquitoes ignored the salt. And they didn’t go for the amino acids, either. But when the team mixed both on the same surface, the mosquitoes bit.
In another experiment, researchers coated one side of a surface with sweat samples from several volunteers. Mosquitoes bit sweat from two of those people much more than from the others. The researchers then looked at the activity of certain mosquito nerve cells (神经细胞) involved in taste. The more attractive sweat had a bigger effect on the activity of these nerves than the other sweat samples. “That suggests taste could be one of the factors as to why some of us get bitten a lot more than others,” Baik says. “This discovery was quite exciting.”
Baik wanted to explore how taste might drive mosquitoes’ choice to bite or not. Tasting requires touch. We use our lips, mouth and tongue to taste. Mosquitoes do the same. They have a straw-like tube (吸管状的管子) with two small lips. These lips have tiny hairs that respond to touch. Scientists then tested how the hairs reacted to different flavors (味道). When sugars touched the hairs, they activated the nerve cells. Some bitter compounds, though, blocked the nerve cells’ response to sugar. This type of activity blocking, Baik notes, hasn’t been seen in other insects. Adding such bitter compounds to sugar reduced the nerve response to sweetness and made the mosquitoes less likely to feed.
12. Why were salt and amino acids tested both separately and in combination?
A. To test if mosquitoes favor salt over amino acids.
B. To compare the effects of salt and amino acids.
C. To confirm mosquitoes’ taste preference.
D. To check if both are in all types of sweat.
13. What did Baik find exciting?
A. Increased nerve activity with attractive sweat.
B. The role of amino acids in attracting mosquitoes.
C. The discovery of mosquitoes’ attraction to salty sweat.
D. Mosquitoes’ preference for sweat from young volunteers.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mosquitoes are highly responsive to most flavors.
B. Compounds can activate mosquitoes’ nerve cells.
C. Mosquitoes respond to sweat using the sense of smell.
D. Bitter materials can be used to make anti-mosquito products.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Impact of Salt and Amino Acids on mosquito Behavior
B. How mosquitoes Taste and Choose Their Targets
C. The Role of Touch in mosquito Feeding Behavior
D. How mosquitoes React to Different Flavors
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍感官生物学家Baik团队的研究,探索蚊子叮咬的原因,发现蚊子通过味觉判断是否叮咬,汗液成分、神经细胞反应及苦味化合物均有影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To see what mosquitoes prefer, the researchers placed salt and amino acids on separate surfaces. Mosquitoes ignored the salt. And they didn’t go for the amino acids, either. But when the team mixed both on the same surface, the mosquitoes bit.(为了弄清蚊子的偏好,研究人员将盐和氨基酸分别放在不同的表面上。蚊子忽略了盐。它们也没有选择氨基酸。但当研究小组将两者混合在同一个表面上时,蚊子叮咬了。)”可知,分开和混合测试盐与氨基酸,是为了确认蚊子的味觉偏好。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The more attractive sweat had a bigger effect on the activity of these nerves than the other sweat samples. “That suggests taste could be one of the factors as to why some of us get bitten a lot more than others,” Baik says. “This discovery was quite exciting.”(更具吸引力的汗液对这些神经活动的影响比其他汗液样本更大。Baik说:“这表明味觉可能是我们中有些人被叮咬得多得多的原因之一。这个发现相当令人兴奋。”)”可知,Baik认为令人兴奋的是有吸引力的汗液能增强蚊子神经细胞的活动。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some bitter compounds, though, blocked the nerve cells’ response to sugar. This type of activity blocking, Baik notes, hasn’t been seen in other insects. Adding such bitter compounds to sugar reduced the nerve response to sweetness and made the mosquitoes less likely to feed. (不过,某些苦味化合物会抑制神经细胞对糖分的反应。Baik指出,这种抑制反应的机制在其他昆虫身上从未被发现过。在糖中添加这类苦味化合物后,蚊子对甜味的神经反应会减弱,进而降低它们觅食的可能性。)”可知,苦味物质能减少蚊子叮咬的可能性,因此可推断其可用于制作驱蚊产品。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Knowing what causes mosquitoes to bite — or not — can help researchers create better ways to stop them.(了解蚊子叮咬或不叮咬的原因,有助于研究人员找到更好的阻止它们的方法。)”及后文围绕蚊子味觉展开的研究可知,文章核心是介绍蚊子如何通过味觉选择叮咬目标。因此B项“蚊子如何品尝和选择目标”适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国的国家公园体系建立时间不长,但受道教和佛教哲学的启发,中国自古以来就是环保的倡导者。此处为非谓语动词,the country与inspire为被动关系,用过去分词inspired作状语。故填inspired。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:2017年,中国政府正式实施国家公园体系,将分散的保护区纳入集中管理,以加强保护和资源的长期利用。此处修饰动词carried out,用official的副词形式officially,意为“正式地”。故填officially。

考查非谓语动词。句意:2017年,中国政府正式实施国家公园体系,将分散的保护区纳入集中管理,以加强保护和资源的长期利用。此处为非谓语动词,the Chinese government与unify为主动关系,用现在分词unifying作状语。故填unifying。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这使得这些地区的生物多样性得以维持,并为生态旅游带来了新的机遇。此处为固定结构allow sth. to do“允许某物做某事”,且biodiversity与maintain为被动关系,所以使用动词不定式的被动形式to be maintained作宾补。故填to be maintained。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
In a busy grocery store, a new employee named Tom joined the team. Tom was a quiet and modest young man, but there was something about him that caught the attention of his coworkers. He seemed constantly tired, and often nodded off during his shifts.
His coworkers were puzzled by this. Some of them even started whispering to each other, suspecting that Tom might be lazy or irresponsible. However, there was also a kind-hearted woman named Lisa who noticed Tom’s situation and was worried. Instead of ignoring it or making unkind assumptions, she decided to reach out to him.
One day, during a break, Lisa sat down beside Tom and gently asked him if everything was okay. Tom looked a bit hesitant at first. He was aware of the whispers and the negative looks he’d been getting from some of his coworkers. He was afraid that Lisa might also be there to scold (责骂) him. But then, seeing the genuine concern in Lisa’s eyes, he opened up.
He told Lisa that he had just moved to this city for this job. Since it was all so sudden and he hadn’t had much time to look around for accommodation, he ended up renting an apartment that was far from the workplace. He couldn’t afford a car and had to rely on public transportation, which often had long delays. As a result, he had to get up very early in the morning. To make matters worse, the bus route was not direct, and he had to change several times. By the time he reached the store, he was already worn out.
Lisa listened attentively, her heart filled with sympathy. She knew she had to do something to help. Therefore, she decided to talk to their manager about Tom’s situation. The manager was also a very understanding person. Together, they came up with an idea.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Later, Tom was called into the manager’s office.

After living in the storeroom for nearly a month, Tom finally found a suitable apartment.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Later, Tom was called into the manager’s office. The manager told him that they were going to clear out a corner of the storeroom and let him live there temporarily. This way, he could save a great deal of time on commuting and get enough rest. Upon hearing this, Tom’s eyes widened in surprise and tears of gratitude streamed down his face. The day after he moved into the storeroom, Tom’s overall condition changed dramatically. He was full of energy and enthusiasm during work. Seeing Tom’s transformation, his coworkers felt ashamed of their previous unkind thoughts and whispers.
After living in the storeroom for nearly a month, Tom finally found a suitable apartment. It was within walking distance of the store and Tom was excited about it. All of his coworkers came to help him move. Tom was deeply grateful for their support. He particularly thanked the manager and Lisa, whose help not only solved his practical problem but also made him feel the warmth of the workplace. This incident also reminded people that everyone may face difficulties and a little more understanding and help can make a big difference.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Tom的工作状态为线索展开,讲述了杂货店新员工Tom因长途通勤疲惫打盹遭同事误解。善良的Lisa主动关心,发现他住得远又没钱买车。Lisa与经理商议后,将储藏室改造成临时住所供他居住。Tom的工作状态发生改变,其他同事开始反省自己的偏见。一个月后,Tom找到附近住所,工作生活都步入正轨。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“后来,Tom被叫进了经理的办公室。”和第二段首句中的“住在储藏室”可知,第一段可描写经理告知Tom可以暂住在店里,Tom充满感激,之后Tom工作状态发生变化,同事对他的印象发生转变。
②由第二段首句内容“在储藏室住了将近一个月后,Tom终于找到了一套合适的公寓。”可知,第二段可描写同事帮助Tom搬家,他对此深表感激,并特别感谢了Lisa和经理,以及故事提醒人们多一点理解和帮助。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Childhood stories don’t just exist within the pages of books. They extend beyond them, breathing life into real-world destinations. These places, rich in literary history, invite travelers to step into the worlds of their favorite tales.
The World of Winnie the Pooh
Deep in the heart of England lies Ashdown Forest, which inspired A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. The Hundred Acre Wood, while fictional, reflects the essence (精髓) of Ashdown, a literary travel destination offering pleasant discoveries.
Journey Through Alice’s Wonderland
Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, was deeply influenced by his surroundings at Oxford’s Christ Church College. Alice Liddell, the daughter of the college’s dean (系主任), was the real-life inspiration for his central character. Their shared moments were the essence of the tales. The Alice Shop on St. Aldate’s Street sells Alice-themed goods. It’s more than just a store; it’s a step through the looking glass.
In Search of the Secret Garden
Set against the moody backdrop (背景) of Yorkshire’s moors (沼泽), Frances Hodgson Burnett paints a vivid picture of England’s green expanses in The Secret Garden. While the novel’s garden is fictional, Yorkshire’s historic Helmsley Walled Garden is very real and stands as proof of its charm.
On the Trail of Anne of Green Gables
L. M. Montgomery, the creator of the Anne of Green Gables series, had an unbreakable bond with Prince Edward Island, Canada. The island was the canvas on which she painted her stories. Central to Anne’s tale is the Green Gables Heritage Place. This farmhouse, with its iconic green-roofed structure, is the essence of the novel. Located in Cavendish, the farmhouse allows visitors to wander through Anne’s room and relive their favorite chapters.
1. What can we learn about Alice Liddell?
A. She wrote books about her experiences in Oxford.
B. She founded the Alice Shop on St. Aldate’s Street.

C. Both feature fictional places inspired by real locations.
D. Both are based on the author’s childhood experiences.

A. The Alice Shop. B. Ashdown Forest.
C. Helmsley Walled Garden. D. The Green Gables Heritage Place.
B
“I don’t have to be a millionaire to help animals or people. A thought is what matters.” This simple yet powerful realization set 29-year-old Deeksha Chauhan on a path where she breathes life into animals through realism and hyperrealism (超写实主义), hoping to challenge the way humans interact with wildlife.
Deeksha’s journey with art began early, encouraged by her teacher, who introduced her to various creative forms. While she enjoyed dance and music, painting always drew her in the most. However, her parents thought it was a terrible career path. They had a different plan for her future — an engineering degree at Vidya College, Meerut. She completed her degree in 2016 and entered the business world. But time and again, she felt she wasn’t truly interested in it.
“In August 2019, I decided to become the teacher I was searching for and started to learn art by watching online courses,” Deeksha says. She followed international artists and paid close attention to paintings on the Internet. “Over time, I taught myself realism and hyperrealism,” she shares proudly.
Deeksha’s choice to become a wildlife artist came from a personal loss. “I lost my pet dog — he breathed his last in my arms. I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says.
While Deeksha works every day to improve her artistic skills, her main focus lies in giving back to animals through art. “Right now, with the money earned from art, I support people who take part in animal protection efforts,” she shares.
“I love travelling alone and staying with the locals. In return, I teach their children about insects, wildlife, and the importance of not harming any animals,” she explains. Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection.
4. What was Deeksha’s parents’ attitude towards her passion for painting?
A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Expectant. D. Opposed.
5. How did Deeksha learn realism and hyperrealism painting skills?
A. By studying online resources. B. By having art education in college.
C. By taking courses from international artists. D. By watching online courses from an art school.
6. What inspired Deeksha to become a wildlife artist?
A. The death of her pet dog. B. Her desire to earn more money.
C. Her dissatisfaction with previous jobs. D. The suggestion for painting from her teacher.
7. What is Deeksha’s future goal?
A. To improve her painting skills. B. To teach more children about art.
C. To raise more money for wildlife. D. To sell her paintings at higher prices.
C
Facial expressions aren’t the only way we express our emotions — body language also plays a crucial role. The way our body moves when laughing at a show is different from how we move when staying together with an old friend. Although both are expressions of happiness, finding common patterns across different situations is difficult. These patterns become particularly challenging to define when we consider cross-cultural differences as well.
Researchers from the Research Institute of Electrical Communication at Tohoku University (Japan) dealt with these challenges by collecting body movements from different situations, emotions and personal styles in a motion capture (动作捕捉) lab. Unlike previous databases that focused on simple and repetitive actions (e. g. walking sadly, walking happily, walking angrily), and were primarily based on Western populations, this new database aims to capture a wide range of emotional bodily expressions across various situations, with a focus on Japanese people born and raised in Japan.
To build this database, six professional performers were asked to think back to situations that made them happy, angry, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的) or contemptuous (轻蔑的) and act them out using full-body movement. Their performances were recorded using high-speed motion capture technology, in which the 3-D information of movements was captured as a video. The recordings were later processed into simple stick figure-like animations (简笔画式动画).
Study members watched these animations and discerned the expressed emotions. The results showed that they could recognize the emotions only from body movements, and the accuracy was as good as past simple action databases. Among the emotions studied, anger and fear were the easiest to recognize, while contempt and disgust were the hardest.
Future research can use this database to improve understanding of cultural differences in nonverbal communication. This will be helpful in developing technology communication tools to promote cross-cultural communication and understanding. This resource is expected to benefit researchers and industries using motion capture techniques such as gaming, film, animation and virtual reality.
8. What is the uniqueness of the new study?
A. Its focus on simple and repetitive actions.
B. Its analysis of Western and Japanese populations.
C. Its exploration of cultural differences in body language.
D. Its transition from facial expressions to body movements.

At a summer party, mosquitoes (蚊子) bite some guests while luckier guests remain bite-free. “It feels personal sometimes — like, why are they biting me?” says Lisa Baik, a sensory biologist. Knowing what causes mosquitoes to bite — or not — can help researchers create better ways to stop them.
Baik’s team finds that mosquitoes also taste the surfaces on which they land. In fact, sweat may play a big role in whether they bite. Human sweat contains water, salt and amino acids (氨基酸). To see what mosquitoes prefer, the researchers placed salt and amino acids on separate surfaces. Mosquitoes ignored the salt. And they didn’t go for the amino acids, either. But when the team mixed both on the same surface, the mosquitoes bit.
In another experiment, researchers coated one side of a surface with sweat samples from several volunteers. Mosquitoes bit sweat from two of those people much more than from the others. The researchers then looked at the activity of certain mosquito nerve cells (神经细胞) involved in taste. The more attractive sweat had a bigger effect on the activity of these nerves than the other sweat samples. “That suggests taste could be one of the factors as to why some of us get bitten a lot more than others,” Baik says. “This discovery was quite exciting.”
Baik wanted to explore how taste might drive mosquitoes’ choice to bite or not. Tasting requires touch. We use our lips, mouth and tongue to taste. Mosquitoes do the same. They have a straw-like tube (吸管状的管子) with two small lips. These lips have tiny hairs that respond to touch. Scientists then tested how the hairs reacted to different flavors (味道). When sugars touched the hairs, they activated the nerve cells. Some bitter compounds, though, blocked the nerve cells’ response to sugar. This type of activity blocking, Baik notes, hasn’t been seen in other insects. Adding such bitter compounds to sugar reduced the nerve response to sweetness and made the mosquitoes less likely to feed.
12. Why were salt and amino acids tested both separately and in combination?
A. To test if mosquitoes favor salt over amino acids.
B. To compare the effects of salt and amino acids.
C. To confirm mosquitoes’ taste preference.
D. To check if both are in all types of sweat.
13. What did Baik find exciting?
A. Increased nerve activity with attractive sweat.
B. The role of amino acids in attracting mosquitoes.
C. The discovery of mosquitoes’ attraction to salty sweat.
D. Mosquitoes’ preference for sweat from young volunteers.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mosquitoes are highly responsive to most flavors.
B. Compounds can activate mosquitoes’ nerve cells.
C. Mosquitoes respond to sweat using the sense of smell.
D. Bitter materials can be used to make anti-mosquito products.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Impact of Salt and Amino Acids on mosquito Behavior
B. How mosquitoes Taste and Choose Their Targets
C. The Role of Touch in mosquito Feeding Behavior
D. How mosquitoes React to Different Flavors

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。
In a busy grocery store, a new employee named Tom joined the team. Tom was a quiet and modest young man, but there was something about him that caught the attention of his coworkers. He seemed constantly tired, and often nodded off during his shifts.
His coworkers were puzzled by this. Some of them even started whispering to each other, suspecting that Tom might be lazy or irresponsible. However, there was also a kind-hearted woman named Lisa who noticed Tom’s situation and was worried. Instead of ignoring it or making unkind assumptions, she decided to reach out to him.
One day, during a break, Lisa sat down beside Tom and gently asked him if everything was okay. Tom looked a bit hesitant at first. He was aware of the whispers and the negative looks he’d been getting from some of his coworkers. He was afraid that Lisa might also be there to scold (责骂) him. But then, seeing the genuine concern in Lisa’s eyes, he opened up.
He told Lisa that he had just moved to this city for this job. Since it was all so sudden and he hadn’t had much time to look around for accommodation, he ended up renting an apartment that was far from the workplace. He couldn’t afford a car and had to rely on public transportation, which often had long delays. As a result, he had to get up very early in the morning. To make matters worse, the bus route was not direct, and he had to change several times. By the time he reached the store, he was already worn out.
Lisa listened attentively, her heart filled with sympathy. She knew she had to do something to help. Therefore, she decided to talk to their manager about Tom’s situation. The manager was also a very understanding person. Together, they came up with an idea.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Later, Tom was called into the manager’s office.

After living in the storeroom for nearly a month, Tom finally found a suitable apartment.
