There are some sports competitions that have become the focus of attention for people all over the world. These events bring together the best players and most excited fans. They are not just games — they show human strength, country pride, and traditions that have lasted for many years.
The Olympic Games
The Olympic Games hold a special place as the world’s largest sporting celebration. With roots stretching back to ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago, the modern Olympics happen every two years, switching between summer and winter games. Athletes compete in hundreds of events, from swimming and gymnastics to skiing and ice hockey. The iconic Olympic rings symbolize the unity of five continents, while the torch relay connects the modern games to their ancient origins. Hosting the Olympics remains a great honor for any city, requiring years of preparation to build world-class facilities.
FIFA World Cup
The FIFA World Cup is football’s most important competition and serves as a platform for national identity and pride, where countries of all sizes have the opportunity to make their mark on the world stage. The competition often becomes a reflection of cultural, political, and social dynamics, as seen in iconic moments like Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal or the French team’s victory in 1998 that symbolized the multicultural makeup of the nation. The event can generate great economic activity, as millions of fans travel to host nations, boosting tourism and local industries.
Wimbledon
Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis events and is known for its traditions. For example, players must wear all white, and people eat strawberries with cream while watching. The event has produced some of the most iconic moments in tennis history, such as Roger Federer’s record-breaking eight Wimbledon titles, Serena Williams’ dominance, and the epic 2008 final between Federer and Rafael Nadal, often regarded as one of the greatest matches in tennis history. While other big tennis events change with time, Wimbledon stays the same, which is why winning here means so much to tennis players.

(这项赛事往往反映了文化、政治和社会动态,比如迭戈·马拉多纳的“上帝之手”进球,或是1998年法国队的胜利,后者象征着这个国家的多元文化构成。)”可知,1998年法国队的世界杯胜利被明确描述为“象征着该国的多元文化构成”,即国家文化多样性的象征。故选C项。

Only three women in history have run faster than Gabby Thomas in the 200 meters so far. Her excellence extends to the 100 meters, where she broke the 11-second barrier, winning a top-level race in Texas with time of 10.88s.
After breaking the college 200-meter record and winning the 2018 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) indoor championship, Thomas became a professional athlete and signed with a famous sports brand, giving up the remaining time she had to compete as a college athlete. In 2019, Thomas moved to Austin, Texas, and joined the Buford-Bailey Track Club.
While her running speed is impressive, her work off the track is even more notable. After graduating in 2019 with a degree in neurobiology (神经生物学) and global health and public policy, Thomas attended the University of Texas, where she earned her master’s degree.
With a strong interest in improving health equality, Thomas started working at a local health clinic in Austin. When she’s not training, Thomas spends five to six hours a week at the clinic. She leads a program to help patients with high blood pressure. She guides patients who don’t have access to healthcare by monitoring their daily habits and connecting them to useful support.
“I get to know them and their barriers to getting healthcare — why they can’t easily access medical care, what difficulties they face in staying active or eating well, and what causes stress in their lives,” Thomas said. “It is rewarding for me to see the progress they’ve been making because these changes deeply affect their personal health journeys.”
Right now, Thomas is chasing faster times and more medals on the world stage. But after retiring from athletics, she would like to become the CEO of a hospital or lead a nonprofit organization for equal healthcare. In the short term, Thomas says she wants to start her own foundation to help more people get healthcare and learn healthy habits.
4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By describing Thomas’ personal life in detail.
B. By mentioning Thomas’ athletic achievements.
C. By discussing the history of track and field sports.
D. By comparing Thomas to famous athletes in history.
5. What do we know about Thomas in paragraph 2?
A. She became a coach for a club in 2019. B. She turned professional while in college.
C. She dropped out of college for her future. D. She set a new 200-meter record in 2019.
6. Which best describes Thomas?
A. Curious and humorous. B. Adventurous and outgoing.
C. Talented and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and creative.
7. What is Thomas’ career goal after retiring from track athletics?
A. Opening a training center in Austin.
B. Becoming a high school track teacher.
C. Taking on a leadership role in healthcare.
D. Pursuing a career in neurobiology research.

Sergio Peralta was nervous on his first day of school at Hendersonville High School near Nashville, Tennessee. At 15 years old, he was the new kid and was particularly concerned about what his schoolmates would think of his right hand, which had never fully formed. He wanted to hide it in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would find out. However, his classmates supported him in a way he never expected.
Jeff Wilkins, the school’s engineering teacher, approached Peralta to let him know that his classmates were willing to help. With Wilkins’ guidance, the engineering students designed and created a prosthetic (假体的) hand together using 3D printing technology. The process involved researching various types of prosthetics, obtaining materials, and accurately measuring their classmate’s arm for the perfect fit. The students devoted after-school hours to bringing their idea to life.
After four weeks, their project was complete. “They ended up offering to build my prosthetic hand, and I never expected it,” Peralta told CBS News. The new hand allowed him to perform tasks such as writing and holding objects easily.
Student Leslie Jaramillo commented on the project, noting that it reflected the spirit of their engineering class they were taught. “You’re supposed to come up with new ideas and solve problems together,” he said. “Just make things better than how they used to be.”
For the first time in his 15 years, Peralta was able to catch a baseball with his right hand — something that excited his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started looking excited,” Peralta said, smiling. “It was the first time that I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.”
The prosthesis created by Hendersonville High School’s students had changed Peralta’s life and gave him something to be proud of. This story shows the power of kindness and the impact it can have on a person’s life. It also tells us the importance of having a supportive network of people, who’re willing to go the extra mile to make a difference.
8. Why was Sergio Peralta nervous on the first day of school?
A. He didn’t like the school uniform.
B. He feared the school’s strict rules.
C. He was worried about being laughed at.
D. He was worried about making new friends.
9. How did the engineering students help Sergio Peralta?
A. They helped him with his schoolwork.
B. They taught him to use his hand better.
C. They donated money for a prosthetic hand.
D. They built a 3D-printed prosthetic hand for him.
10. What might play an important role in the success of the project?
A. Teamwork. B. Confidence. C. Luck. D. Honesty.
11. Why was catching a baseball significant for Sergio Peralta?
A. His teacher rewarded him with a prize.
B. The ball was bought by his classmates.
C. It was his first time to use his right hand.
D. It proved that he could join the school team.

As the sun slowly sets, painting the sky orange and red, many people experience a sense of sadness. This is called “sunset anxiety”, and it is quite common during the shorter daylight hours of winter. As days grow shorter and nights longer, people often feel pressured by the sense of not having enough time. Unfinished tasks and unmet responsibilities flood their minds at sunset, making them feel stressed.
Research suggests that when winter brings reduced sunlight, many people are more likely to experience sunset anxiety. As daylight hours are shorter, those who are used to high productivity during the day may feel sad — “another day wasted” — as nightfall arrives.
The human biological clock is influenced by light. When sunset comes earlier, the brain may misread it as a reminder to rest, yet modern work schedules and lifestyles don’t change accordingly. This discordance can make the body tired while the mind remains tense (紧张的), causing anxiety.
Sunset often marks the end of the workday. However, for those who live alone or don’t have a rich social life, the arrival of darkness can make them feel lonelier and more likely to experience negative feelings.
When the sun sets, try things that help calm your mind, like making tea, listening to calm music, or reading a book. They can help you feel better and reduce anxiety. Exercising properly can also help improve your state of mind. Even a short 20-minute walk can reduce the tension caused by sunset.
Sunset is meant to be one of the most beautiful moments of the day, but if it starts to cause anxiety, it’s time to rethink our lifestyles and mental health. Let sunset be a peaceful time instead of a time of stress. The fall of night is not meant to frighten us but to teach us to enjoy the starlight. In our short lives, perhaps we can slow down, accepting the passage of time rather than fighting against it. After all, every sunset means a new day will come.
12. What is “sunset anxiety” mainly about?
A. Feeling tired from a whole day’s hard work.
B. Feeling stressed because of others’ productivity.
C. Feeling afraid of complete darkness after sunset.
D. Feeling worried or sad as the day comes to an end.
13. What does the underlined word “discordance” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Exchange. B. Mismatch. C. Failure. D. Agreement.
14. What is suggested as a way to reduce “sunset anxiety”?
A. Go out to make more friends. B. Improve daytime productivity.
C. Have a hard workout at sunset. D. Turn sunset into a time to relax.
15. What does the author say about sunset in the last paragraph?
A. It should be viewed positively. B. It stresses the passage of time.
C. It influences people’s lifestyles. D. It can make people slow down.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了冬季日照缩短时,“日落焦虑” 较常见,成因包括时间紧迫感、生物钟与生活节奏不匹配、孤独感等。可通过放松或适度运动缓解,我们应积极看待日落,享受宁静、接纳时光流逝。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As the sun slowly sets, painting the sky orange and red, many people experience a sense of sadness. This is called “sunset anxiety”, and it is quite common during the shorter daylight hours of winter. As days grow shorter and nights longer, people often feel pressured by the sense of not having enough time. Unfinished tasks and unmet responsibilities flood their minds at sunset, making them feel stressed.( 当太阳慢慢落下,把天空染成橙色和红色时,许多人会感到悲伤。这被称为“日落焦虑”,在冬天白天时间较短的时候很常见。随着白天越来越短,夜晚越来越长,人们经常感到没有足够的时间的压力。日落时分,未完成的任务和未履行的责任充斥着他们的脑海,让他们感到压力。)”可知,“日落焦虑”主要是当一天即将结束时感到担心或悲伤。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When sunset comes earlier, the brain may misread it as a reminder to rest, yet modern work schedules and lifestyles don’t change accordingly.( 当日落来得更早时,大脑可能会误以为这是在提醒你休息,但现代的工作时间表和生活方式并没有相应地改变。)”以及划线单词句中“This discordance can make the body tired while the mind remains tense (紧张的), causing anxiety.( 这种……会使身体疲劳,而精神紧张,导致焦虑。)”由此可知,“大脑的休息信号”与“实际未改变的工作生活节奏”形成“不匹配”,导致身心矛盾(身体疲惫但精神紧张)。故可猜测划线单词discordance为“不协调”的意思,和B选项Mismatch“不匹配”意思相近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“When the sun sets, try things that help calm your mind, like making tea, listening to calm music, or reading a book. They can help you feel better and reduce anxiety. Exercising properly can also help improve your state of mind.( 当太阳下山时,试着做一些能让你平静下来的事情,比如泡茶、听平静的音乐或读一本书。它们可以帮助你感觉更好,减少焦虑。适当的锻炼也有助于改善你的精神状态。)”可推知,把日落变成放松的时刻可以减少“日落焦虑”。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sunset is meant to be one of the most beautiful moments of the day, but if it starts to cause anxiety, it’s time to rethink our lifestyles and mental health. Let sunset be a peaceful time instead of a time of stress. The fall of night is not meant to frighten us but to teach us to enjoy the starlight.( 日落本应是一天中最美丽的时刻之一,但如果它开始引起焦虑,那么是时候重新思考我们的生活方式和心理健康了。让日落成为一个平静的时刻,而不是一个紧张的时刻。夜幕降临不是为了吓唬我们,而是为了教会我们去享受星光。)”可推知,作者强调日落本应是美丽、宁静的时刻,应学会欣赏而非焦虑,即“积极看待日落”。故选A项。

Whether you choose a two-week program or a whole year of travel, it depends on your goals.(间隔年的时长由你决定。选择两周的项目还是一整年的旅行,取决于你的目标。)”可知,空格处应说明间隔年不一定是一整年,A选项“It does not have to be a full year.(它不一定非得是一整年。)”中的“It”指代“gap year”,直接呼应后文“时长由你决定”,符合语境。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了上海杨浦区的“NICE2035”项目——将一个老旧的社区背街改造成为一座创意中心。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:上海市杨浦区的“NICE2035”项目旨在将一个老旧的社区背街改造成为一座创意中心。根据空格前的aims可知,此处考查固定搭配aim to do something“旨在做某事”。故填to turn。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:Cibic于 2018 年抵达上海,并在与同济大学的项目负责人Lou Yongqi先生会面后加入了该项目。空格处是谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2018可知,此处描述过去发生的事,应该用一般过去时。故填arrived。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:Cibic认为该项目的意义远不止于提供一个发挥创造力的空间。根据空格前的views可知,此处考查固定搭配view...as“把……视为”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他说这里是一个“生活实验室”,不同群体(包括年轻人和老年人)可以相聚于此,共同和谐地生活在一起。根据空格后的复数名词groups可知,空格处应该用形容词different作定语,修饰后面名词。故填different。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:他说这里是一个“生活实验室”,不同群体(包括年轻人和老年人)可以相聚于此,共同和谐地生活在一起。空格处作状语,修饰空格前的动词live,应该用副词形式peacefully。故填peacefully。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:位于四平路的鞍山社区这条 500 米长的后街,是上海最早一批工人社区之一,如今已变成了一个充满活力的多元空间组合:有工作室、咖啡馆和联合办公空间。“one of+复数名词”意义为“……之一”是固定搭配,所以空格处应该用复数名词communities。故填communities。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:它设有共用厨房、咖啡厅、健身区域,甚至还为小型创业公司提供了专门的空间。空格处是谓语动词,句子描述客观情况,用一般现在时;主语是it,谓语动词用三单形式。故填has。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:Cibic住在社区里一间很小的公寓里。根据空格后的单数名词apartment可知,空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一间”,small的发音是辅音音素开头,所以用a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他说这种上海风格的老式公寓能给他带来一种归属感,这种感觉吸引着他。空格处引导定语从句,对先行词a sense of belonging进行限定说明,从句中缺少主语,所以应该用关系代词that或which代替先行词a sense of belonging在从句中作主语。故填that/which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他喜欢在社区集市上用简单的中文和肢体语言与街边小店的店主交流。根据空格前的动词enjoy可知,空格处应该用动名词talking作宾语。故填talking。

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。
Isha and Nisha were sisters. They studied and played together and thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company. Life went by happily for the two sisters. As they grew up, they couldn’t spend as much time together as before because they had made many new friends at school. Later, a rift (裂痕) developed between them, and they began to squabble (发生口角) over minor things.
After the sisters’ exams were over, their father decided to take them on a holiday. He asked the girls where they wanted to go. Nisha said excitedly that they should go to a mountain resort (旅游胜地). However, Isha argued that they should go to a national park since she had been longing to go there for many years. So their parents decided to take them to the national park. Nisha became very upset with Isha and said she would never speak to her because Isha always got things done in her own way.
After reaching the park, Nisha wandered around with a frown (皱眉) on her face. Her father noticed her low spirits and tried to comfort her, but Nisha remained unhappy. She kept thinking about her argument with Isha. Meanwhile, Isha felt guilty about what she had done but didn’t know how to make up for it.
In the afternoon Nisha’s father took her for a camel ride in order to cheer her up. Her mother and Isha chose to watch TV in the hotel room. As the TV played in the background, Isha’s mother’s phone rang. She picked it up and heard her husband’s panicked voice on the other end. She turned pale and her eyes widened with worry as she listened to what he was saying.
Isha knew that something bad had happened. After putting the phone down, her mother said Nisha had fallen down during the camel ride, had been hurt badly and sent to a nearby hospital. On the way to the hospital, Isha started having all sorts of thoughts. She felt remorse (自责) for all the squabbles and situations where she and Nisha had stopped speaking to each other.

When Nisha regained consciousness (恢复意识), she saw Isha holding her hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
They reached the hospital quickly. Nisha had been taken to the operation room. While waiting outside the room nervously, Isha recalled all the beautiful moments that she had shared with Nisha during their childhood and she just wanted her sister to be safe and healthy. After a long time, the doctor appeared and told them that Nisha would recover from her injury in two months, which made them feel relieved.
When Nisha regained consciousness, she saw Isha holding her hand. She was happy to see her sister beside her. She smiled weakly, her face pale. Isha’s eyes were filled with tears, and she said, “I’m so sorry, Nisha. I will never argue with you again.” Nisha said, “It’s okay, Isha. I’m just happy you’re here.” At that moment, they both knew that no matter how many disagreements they had, their bond was unbreakable. The warmth of Isha’s hand made Nisha realize that love could heal even the deepest wound.

There are some sports competitions that have become the focus of attention for people all over the world. These events bring together the best players and most excited fans. They are not just games — they show human strength, country pride, and traditions that have lasted for many years.
The Olympic Games
The Olympic Games hold a special place as the world’s largest sporting celebration. With roots stretching back to ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago, the modern Olympics happen every two years, switching between summer and winter games. Athletes compete in hundreds of events, from swimming and gymnastics to skiing and ice hockey. The iconic Olympic rings symbolize the unity of five continents, while the torch relay connects the modern games to their ancient origins. Hosting the Olympics remains a great honor for any city, requiring years of preparation to build world-class facilities.
FIFA World Cup
The FIFA World Cup is football’s most important competition and serves as a platform for national identity and pride, where countries of all sizes have the opportunity to make their mark on the world stage. The competition often becomes a reflection of cultural, political, and social dynamics, as seen in iconic moments like Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal or the French team’s victory in 1998 that symbolized the multicultural makeup of the nation. The event can generate great economic activity, as millions of fans travel to host nations, boosting tourism and local industries.
Wimbledon
Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis events and is known for its traditions. For example, players must wear all white, and people eat strawberries with cream while watching. The event has produced some of the most iconic moments in tennis history, such as Roger Federer’s record-breaking eight Wimbledon titles, Serena Williams’ dominance, and the epic 2008 final between Federer and Rafael Nadal, often regarded as one of the greatest matches in tennis history. While other big tennis events change with time, Wimbledon stays the same, which is why winning here means so much to tennis players.

Only three women in history have run faster than Gabby Thomas in the 200 meters so far. Her excellence extends to the 100 meters, where she broke the 11-second barrier, winning a top-level race in Texas with time of 10.88s.
After breaking the college 200-meter record and winning the 2018 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) indoor championship, Thomas became a professional athlete and signed with a famous sports brand, giving up the remaining time she had to compete as a college athlete. In 2019, Thomas moved to Austin, Texas, and joined the Buford-Bailey Track Club.
While her running speed is impressive, her work off the track is even more notable. After graduating in 2019 with a degree in neurobiology (神经生物学) and global health and public policy, Thomas attended the University of Texas, where she earned her master’s degree.
With a strong interest in improving health equality, Thomas started working at a local health clinic in Austin. When she’s not training, Thomas spends five to six hours a week at the clinic. She leads a program to help patients with high blood pressure. She guides patients who don’t have access to healthcare by monitoring their daily habits and connecting them to useful support.
“I get to know them and their barriers to getting healthcare — why they can’t easily access medical care, what difficulties they face in staying active or eating well, and what causes stress in their lives,” Thomas said. “It is rewarding for me to see the progress they’ve been making because these changes deeply affect their personal health journeys.”
Right now, Thomas is chasing faster times and more medals on the world stage. But after retiring from athletics, she would like to become the CEO of a hospital or lead a nonprofit organization for equal healthcare. In the short term, Thomas says she wants to start her own foundation to help more people get healthcare and learn healthy habits.

Sergio Peralta was nervous on his first day of school at Hendersonville High School near Nashville, Tennessee. At 15 years old, he was the new kid and was particularly concerned about what his schoolmates would think of his right hand, which had never fully formed. He wanted to hide it in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would find out. However, his classmates supported him in a way he never expected.
Jeff Wilkins, the school’s engineering teacher, approached Peralta to let him know that his classmates were willing to help. With Wilkins’ guidance, the engineering students designed and created a prosthetic (假体的) hand together using 3D printing technology. The process involved researching various types of prosthetics, obtaining materials, and accurately measuring their classmate’s arm for the perfect fit. The students devoted after-school hours to bringing their idea to life.
After four weeks, their project was complete. “They ended up offering to build my prosthetic hand, and I never expected it,” Peralta told CBS News. The new hand allowed him to perform tasks such as writing and holding objects easily.
Student Leslie Jaramillo commented on the project, noting that it reflected the spirit of their engineering class they were taught. “You’re supposed to come up with new ideas and solve problems together,” he said. “Just make things better than how they used to be.”
For the first time in his 15 years, Peralta was able to catch a baseball with his right hand — something that excited his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started looking excited,” Peralta said, smiling. “It was the first time that I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.”
The prosthesis created by Hendersonville High School’s students had changed Peralta’s life and gave him something to be proud of. This story shows the power of kindness and the impact it can have on a person’s life. It also tells us the importance of having a supportive network of people, who’re willing to go the extra mile to make a difference.
8. Why was Sergio Peralta nervous on the first day of school?
A. He didn’t like the school uniform.
B He feared the school’s strict rules.
C. He was worried about being laughed at.
D. He was worried about making new friends.
9. How did the engineering students help Sergio Peralta?
A. They helped him with his schoolwork.
B. They taught him to use his hand better.
C. They donated money for a prosthetic hand.
D. They built a 3D-printed prosthetic hand for him.
10. What might play an important role in the success of the project?
A. Teamwork. B. Confidence. C. Luck. D. Honesty.
11. Why was catching a baseball significant for Sergio Peralta?
A. His teacher rewarded him with a prize.
B. The ball was bought by his classmates.
C. It was his first time to use his right hand.
D. It proved that he could join the school team.

As the sun slowly sets, painting the sky orange and red, many people experience a sense of sadness. This is called “sunset anxiety”, and it is quite common during the shorter daylight hours of winter. As days grow shorter and nights longer, people often feel pressured by the sense of not having enough time. Unfinished tasks and unmet responsibilities flood their minds at sunset, making them feel stressed.
Research suggests that when winter brings reduced sunlight, many people are more likely to experience sunset anxiety. As daylight hours are shorter, those who are used to high productivity during the day may feel sad — “another day wasted” — as nightfall arrives.
The human biological clock is influenced by light. When sunset comes earlier, the brain may misread it as a reminder to rest, yet modern work schedules and lifestyles don’t change accordingly. This discordance can make the body tired while the mind remains tense (紧张的), causing anxiety.
Sunset often marks the end of the workday. However, for those who live alone or don’t have a rich social life, the arrival of darkness can make them feel lonelier and more likely to experience negative feelings.
When the sun sets, try things that help calm your mind, like making tea, listening to calm music, or reading a book. They can help you feel better and reduce anxiety. Exercising properly can also help improve your state of mind. Even a short 20-minute walk can reduce the tension caused by sunset.
Sunset is meant to be one of the most beautiful moments of the day, but if it starts to cause anxiety, it’s time to rethink our lifestyles and mental health. Let sunset be a peaceful time instead of a time of stress. The fall of night is not meant to frighten us but to teach us to enjoy the starlight. In our short lives, perhaps we can slow down, accepting the passage of time rather than fighting against it. After all, every sunset means a new day will come.
12. What is “sunset anxiety” mainly about?
A. Feeling tired from a whole day’s hard work.
B. Feeling stressed because of others’ productivity.
C. Feeling afraid of complete darkness after sunset.
D. Feeling worried or sad as the day comes to an end.
13. What does the underlined word “discordance” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Exchange. B. Mismatch. C. Failure. D. Agreement.
14. What is suggested as a way to reduce “sunset anxiety”?
A. Go out to make more friends. B. Improve daytime productivity.
C. Have a hard workout at sunset. D. Turn sunset into a time to relax.
15. What does the author say about sunset in the last paragraph?
A. It should be viewed positively. B. It stresses the passage of time.
C. It influences people’s lifestyles. D. It can make people slow down.

Isha and Nisha were sisters. They studied and played together and thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company. Life went by happily for the two sisters. As they grew up, they couldn’t spend as much time together as before because they had made many new friends at school. Later, a rift (裂痕) developed between them, and they began to squabble (发生口角) over minor things.
After the sisters’ exams were over, their father decided to take them on a holiday. He asked the girls where they wanted to go. Nisha said excitedly that they should go to a mountain resort (旅游胜地). However, Isha argued that they should go to a national park since she had been longing to go there for many years. So their parents decided to take them to the national park. Nisha became very upset with Isha and said she would never speak to her because Isha always got things done in her own way.
After reaching the park, Nisha wandered around with a frown (皱眉) on her face. Her father noticed her low spirits and tried to comfort her, but Nisha remained unhappy. She kept thinking about her argument with Isha. Meanwhile, Isha felt guilty about what she had done but didn’t know how to make up for it.
In the afternoon Nisha’s father took her for a camel ride in order to cheer her up. Her mother and Isha chose to watch TV in the hotel room. As the TV played in the background, Isha’s mother’s phone rang. She picked it up and heard her husband’s panicked voice on the other end. She turned pale and her eyes widened with worry as she listened to what he was saying.
Isha knew that something bad had happened. After putting the phone down, her mother said Nisha had fallen down during the camel ride, had been hurt badly and sent to a nearby hospital. On the way to the hospital, Isha started having all sorts of thoughts. She felt remorse (自责) for all the squabbles and situations where she and Nisha had stopped speaking to each other.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
