Hi, Terry. I'm looking for a birthday present for my elder sister tina. Anything to recommend a fiction . collection or a big car model works for me, but for girls, you can't go wrong with some beautiful flowers. You look worried.

There are lots of good sources there I did, but most articles are too difficult. Maybe I should choose an easier topic. Don't give up the writing center. Tutors can help you analyze those articles.

Hello, i'm going to tell you about my geography field trip, so you know what to expect when you go on yours. There were beautiful traditional stone walls and lots of trees. There was also a lovely little wooden bridge over a stream. I saw an iron one later, and bill said, IT was one hundred years old. The next morning, we had to decide what we were going to do. During the week, I worked with two classmates on water quality in the local area. I needed to collect some saplings to analyze. There was plenty of water around a lake near the forest, a small pond behind the field center. And I got my sapling from a river. The field center has a small lab, and we did work there in the evenings. I was glad at at school, i'd paid a attention in some classes because IT turned out to be handy to know some chemistry. Luckily, IT didn't require any knowledge of biology because that's all a distant memory. On the last day, IT was time for us to give presentations about what we've done during the week. The best one was about the difficulties involved in dairy farming. Sheep farming is important to round there too, and someone gave a talk on that as well. We decided to get the field center staff at present. I saw they had some local honey, so that was our goodbye present. I'm sure you'll all have a great time when you go yourselves.

Seven contributions have come in. They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor-our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words. The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped. For instance, if nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words. Meanwhile, if another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five. Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey? The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble(拼字游戏)competition? Why did I decide I would not mind being a class notes agent? I suppose I pursue any piece of writing for two main reasons. First, I like the challenge of trying a new form. In this case, my task is to rearrange the writings of a range of personalities to create one fairly smooth whole. The second reason is always emotional. Here, one source of my emotion was the years-long experience of the school itself. I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being: “You’re a writer.” As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I’ve never stopped valuing every moment in this job. For me, my classmates are still full of youthful energy, passion, or disgust are tearful hurt. I’m not sure I’m naturally gifted at turning all these colorful details into a brief and entertaining account. That’s how I do it— quote their own words as often as I can. 24. What does the author need to do with the contributions? A. Edit and adjust them. B. Collect and grade them. C. Ensure the variety of them. D. Add personal comments to them. 25. How does the author explain the difficulty of the job? A. By citing quotes. B. By listing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions. 26. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. She prioritizes new forms. B. She prefers emotional writing. C. She is hesitant about the role. D. She is acknowledged by her classmates. 27. What does the author think of the job? A. It’s stressful. B. It’s worthwhile. C. It’s straightforward. D. It’s troublesome. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了65岁的作者负责为班级编辑同学投稿，需将多篇风格各异的文章整合成650字以内的班级笔记，并力求公平分配字数。尽管工作繁琐，她因热爱写作和同学认可而珍惜这份工作，努力将多样内容转化为流畅有趣的记录。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor-our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words.(它们有的长有的短，有的充满感情有的则实事求是，而我的工作就是对每位作者的来稿进行删减和挑选，改写和引用，并统计字数——我们整部作品的总字数不能超过六百五十个字。)”可知，作者需要对同学的投稿进行编辑和调整，以达到要求。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For instance, if nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words. Meanwhile, if another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five. Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey? The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble(拼字游戏)competition?(比如，如果包括我在内一共九个人投稿，那么每篇笔记允许写七十多个字。而如果在最后时刻又有一篇投稿，那我们每个人的字数就都得控制在六十多个字左右。我是取消哥斯达黎加之行，还是不去新泽西看望侄子？是刚出生的孙子、摔断的腿，还是拼字游戏比赛？)”可知，作者是通过举例来说明作者工作中的困难的。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being: “You’re a writer.(我也深受触动，因为我的同学们都推荐我担任这个职位。他们给出的合理理由是：“你是个作家。”)”可知，作者的同学都推荐她担任这个职位，说明她得到了同学们的认可。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I’ve never stopped valuing every moment in this job.(作为一名65岁的女士，我有时会感到疲惫，但我从未停止珍视这份工作中的每一刻。)”可推知，作者非常珍惜这份工作，认为这是值得一做的工作。故选B。 C One after another, injured koalas with burned paws and singed fur were carried into the rescue center. Suffering from severe dehydration and fear, they received urgent care from dedicated staff who bandaged their wounds, swaddled them gently, and placed them in baskets equipped with a familiar comfort: eucalyptus (桉树) leaves. This heartbreaking scene became frequent as catastrophic wildfires, which have consumed millions of acres in Australia, forced the rescue of dozens of koalas from burning trees and ash-covered ground. The plight of the koala, an iconic Australian symbol, has raised serious concerns among conservationists and scientists. They are questioning how to protect biodiversity in a country already experiencing intense fires, extreme heat, and water shortage — a nation that already has one of the highest rates of species extinction in the world. Although koalas have adapted to coexist with periodic wildfires, they now face threats on an unprecedented (史无前例的) scale. These challenges stem not only from climate change but also from extensive human development. The rise of urban areas and agriculture has split the koalas’ natural habitats, isolating populations and reducing their ability to survive disasters. In some regions, koala numbers have dropped by as much as 80%, though accurate counts across the vast continent remain difficult to obtain. “The fires are a tragedy for our wildlife,” said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of the Koala Hospital, the only facility of its kind globally. “We have these unique animals that exist nowhere else on Earth, and we are failing to protect them. This should serve as a massive wake-up call for everyone.” The situation underscores the urgent need for coordinated conservation efforts. It is clear that without significant intervention, the future of this beloved species remains uncertain. The loss of the koala would not only be an ecological disaster but also a cultural tragedy for Australia and the world. 28. What does the underlined word “plight” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Tough situation. B. Special habit. C. Cute appearance. D. Polluted environment. 29. Why are koalas now facing more serious threats than before? A. The Australian government ignores their survival. B. Climate change and human development bring risks. C. Conservationists have no effective protection measures. D. Their main food (eucalyptus. leaves) has sharply decreased. 30. What can we learn about the Koala Hospital from Cheyne Flanagan’s statement? A. It is the world’s only koala-specialized medical facility. B. It is facing great financial pressure in rescuing injured koalas. C. It plans to expand its scale to better protect koalas in the future. D. It has successfully saved most of the koalas injured in wildfires. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Impact of Australian wildfires on biodiversity. B. Rescue of injured koalas after Australian wildfires. C. Koalas’ severe threats and urgent need for conservation. D. The living habits of koalas and their dependence on eucalyptus leaves. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了澳大利亚的野火导致了考拉的生存危机，同时气候变化和人类活动加剧了对考拉生存的威胁，呼吁人们尽快采取有效的保护措施。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“This heartbreaking scene became frequent as catastrophic wildfires, which have consumed millions of acres in Australia, forced the rescue of dozens of koalas from burning trees and ash-covered ground.(随着灾难性野火在澳大利亚肆虐数百万英亩土地，迫使救援人员从燃烧的树木和灰烬覆盖的地面救出数十只考拉，这般令人心碎的场景已屡见不鲜。)”和划线词所在句“The plight of the koala, an iconic Australian symbol, has raised serious concerns among conservationists and scientists.(考拉作为澳大利亚的标志性象征，其plight已引起环保人士和科学家的严重关切。)”可知，灾难性的野火让考拉处于危险境地，引起了保护主义者和科学家的严重关注，plight指上句所描述的考拉所处的困境。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These challenges stem not only from climate change but also from extensive human development.(这些挑战不仅源于气候变化，还源于大规模的人类发展活动。)”可知，考拉正面临的史无前例的严重威胁，是由气候变化和人类发展活动所造成的。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The fires are a tragedy for our wildlife,” said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of the Koala Hospital, the only facility of its kind globally.(“火灾对我们的野生动物来说是一场悲剧，”考拉医院临床主任Cheyne Flanagan说，该医院是全球唯一的同类设施。)”可知，考拉医院是世界上唯一一家专门针对考拉的医疗机构。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Although koalas have adapted to coexist with periodic wildfires, they now face threats on an unprecedented (史无前例的) scale.(尽管考拉已经适应了与周期性的野火共存，但它们现在面临着前所未有的威胁。)”和最后一段“The situation underscores the urgent need for coordinated conservation efforts.(这一形势凸显了采取协调保护措施的急迫需要。)”、“The loss of the koala would not only be an ecological disaster but also a cultural tragedy for Australia and the world.(考拉的消失，不仅对澳大利亚乃至全世界是一场生态灾难，更将是一场文化悲剧。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了考拉面临严重威胁，亟需保护的现状。故选C。 D Individuals are different in how they react to anxiety. Some bury their heads in the sand and ignore the mounting sense of anxiety that seems to occupy the society. Others are in a watchful state and can’t get enough of the up-to-the-minute news and social media feeds. Martin Buber once stated that we related to three things around us: nature, our fellow men, and how you view the world. When we are in a burdened (忧虑的) state, we tend to take no notice of any of these. When we become unburdened from our depressed selves, we are able to discover the delights and wonders around and experience a deep sense of thankfulness. At a time when news reports are only a click away, people’s anxiety becomes extreme. Because of 24/7 media, the international and the interpersonal have integrated in a way that we have never seen before. It seems that we’ve lost the ability to maintain our inner peace—and that’s not just a matter of having opposing views about issues. It’s a matter of not having the patience to involve in delightful communication and to hear each other. Changing the situation can’t be achieved overnight. It’s not accidental, which must be approached with strength. It comes from the efforts to obtain understanding and calm. Our age of anxiety presents us with challenges. But out of adversity comes opportunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience thankfulness at a time when we are burdened, worried, and anxious. Like anything else, relaxation and calm take a bit of work. Attempt to limit your exposure to updates on the news and take a couple of moments to count your blessings—including the people in your life and the fortune from which you’ve benefited.

However, making friends is not easy for everyone, especially when starting a new school or entering a new class. ____36____ Join after-school activities. ____37____ Joining sports, clubs or groups based on personal interests is a great way to meet classmates with similar passions. These places offer natural chances to connect with others. They allow students to chat naturally about things they love, like discussing a song in the music club or planning a match in the sports team, which helps them feel a sense of belonging quickly. Don’t spend too much time on screens. Technology is helpful in daily life, but too much screen time may reduce face-to-face communication. ____38____ This kind of interaction can improve communication skills, which is useful for making friends. For example, working on a group project in the library or playing a team game on the playground lets students talk and cooperate more. They can also set a 30-minute daily limit for phone use after homework, leaving more time for in-person talks. ____39____ If face-to-face talks make students feel nervous, safe online groups can be a good start. These groups let them share ideas without pressure, helping build confidence, and online friends may even become real-life ones. Students should choose platforms with strict safety rules, never share personal information like phone numbers, and meet online friends in public if they trust each other. Learn from good examples. It is helpful to watch how good friends behave — they are usually honest, kind and open. ____40____ For instance, good friends listen carefully when others share worries and keep promises. Besides, being a good listener and caring about others’ feelings also helps. These small acts make friendships stronger and last longer. A. Here are useful tips to help you. B. Practise online interaction carefully. C. Shared hobbies often bring teens closer. D. These qualities teach you about friendship. E. Spend more time chatting with strangers online. F. Choose activities requiring communication and teamwork. G. Many students think studying hard can win classmates’ trust. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. F 39. B 40.

For example, working on a group project in the library or playing a team game on the playground lets students talk and cooperate more.(这种互动能提升沟通能力，而这对交朋友很有帮助。比如，在图书馆合作完成小组项目，或是在操场上玩团队游戏，都能让学生们更多地交流与协作。)”举例说明需要沟通与合作的活动的好处。F选项（选择需要沟通和团队合作的活动）承接上文内容，且F选项中的“communication and teamwork”与下文中的“talk and cooperate”相呼应，提出了具体的行动建议，所以符合语境。故选F。 【39题详解】 下文“If face-to-face talks make students feel nervous, safe online groups can be a good start.

This question stayed in my mind as I faced the tough situation of nearly losing my father. That unforgettable experience taught me a lesson about the shortness of life and the importance of treasuring every moment with our loved ones. Our family was a tight unit built around my father’s work as a truck driver — he spent long hours on the road delivering goods across the state, but always made sure to be home for Sunday dinners. Dad was more than just a provider; he was the backbone of our family, the one who fixed broken bikes and reminded us daily that “hard work and heart can get you through anything”. We’d grown used to his routine — leaving in early mornings, returning in late evenings — and never thought twice about how delicate those moments of togetherness might be. It was a quiet morning in September when my life took an unexpected turn. Around 3:30, a gentle whisper in my ear awakened me from sleep, “Judy, Judy, wake up.” Half-asleep and confused, I found myself staring at my aunt Eva, who was standing over me. “Aunt Eva, are you really here, or am I dreaming?” I asked, trying to distinguish reality from a dream. Her response was both relieving and alarming, “Yes, it is me. Everything is going to be OK. You just need to get up, get dressed, and help your little sisters get ready.” Despite her attempts at calmness, I could tell for sure the seriousness of the situation from the tremble in her voice. As soon as we were ready, we piled into Aunt Eva’s car, still confused about the unfolding events. “Where are we going? Where are my mom and dad?” I asked. Aunt Eva, trying to maintain her calmness, replied, “I am going to take you to them. Just have a short sleep, and I will wake you up when we are there.” The 30-minute drive to Memorial Hermann Hospital felt almost like a century. As we eventually entered the emergency room, I saw my mom crying softly over there. 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。 At that moment, I knew something was terribly wrong. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After months of stay in the hospital, my father was finally allowed to return home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: At that moment, I knew something was terribly wrong. My worst fears were confirmed when I learned about my father’s accident. He was trapped under his truck after it turned over, with his left leg badly injured by the heavy vehicle’s weight. Thus immediate emergency surgery was required. The doctors worked tirelessly to save his leg, but ultimately they had to cut it from above the knee. Seeing him in hospital, connected to machines that helped him breathe, was really heartbreaking. I felt like I was in a terrifying dream from which I couldn’t wake up. For the next few days, my mother and I took turns taking care of my father and helping him to recover. After months of stay in the hospital, my father was finally allowed to return home. When we entered our house, my father was very delighted. He looked around the house and let out a sigh of relief. “Thanks to the great care of you and your mother, we can enjoy the gathering of our family,” he said. Only then did I realize that faced with the setbacks, my father was determined and kept optimistic. He had a strong desire to keep us company. I came to understand how happy it was to have my father with us and how important it was to spend time with our loved ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者家庭中父亲作为卡车司机，是家庭的支柱，但一次意外让父亲重伤入院，生命垂危，最终经过救治得以回家的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那一刻，我知道事情肯定出了大问题。” 可知，第一段可描写作者得知父亲车祸的具体情况、伤情严重性、医院救治过程以及自己和家人的陪护状态。 ②由第二段首句内容“在医院住了几个月后，我父亲终于获准回家。”可知，第二段可描写父亲回家后的场景、父亲的状态与感慨，以及作者从中获得的感悟，呼应“珍惜与亲人相处时光”的主题。 2.续写线索：得知父亲出事——了解车祸与伤情——医院陪护——父亲康复出院——回家后的温馨场景——领悟亲情的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①被困：be trapped/get stuck/ be confined ②松一口气：let out a sigh of relief/sigh in relief ③陪伴某人：keep sb. company/accompany sb. /stay with sb. 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②高兴的：delighted/overjoyed/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】My worst fears were confirmed when I learned about my father’s accident. （运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Seeing him in hospital, connected to machines that helped him breathe, was really heartbreaking.（运用了that引导的限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $This food smells delicious.

Seven contributions have come in. They are long or short, emotional or matter-of-fact, and now my job will be to cut and select, rephrase and quote, and count words from each contributor-our entire collection will have to add up to no more than six hundred and fifty words. The tough part is trying to give more or less equal space to each of these life accounts, since some of us tend to relate incidents in great detail while others are tight-lipped. For instance, if nine of us altogether, including me, contribute notes, then each note is allowed a little over seventy words. Meanwhile, if another contribution comes in at the last minute, we all go down to about sixty-five. Do I cut out the trip to Costa Rica, or the visit to the nephew in New Jersey? The recent grandchild, broken leg, or Scrabble(拼字游戏)competition? Why did I decide I would not mind being a class notes agent? I suppose I pursue any piece of writing for two main reasons. First, I like the challenge of trying a new form. In this case, my task is to rearrange the writings of a range of personalities to create one fairly smooth whole. The second reason is always emotional. Here, one source of my emotion was the years-long experience of the school itself. I was also touched that my classmates suggested me for the job, their sensible reason being: “You’re a writer.” As a 65-year-old lady, I feel tired sometimes, but I’ve never stopped valuing every moment in this job. For me, my classmates are still full of youthful energy, passion, or disgust are tearful hurt. I’m not sure I’m naturally gifted at turning all these colorful details into a brief and entertaining account. That’s how I do it— quote their own words as often as I can. 24 What does the author need to do with the contributions? A. Edit and adjust them. B. Collect and grade them. C. Ensure the variety of them. D. Add personal comments to them. 25. How does the author explain the difficulty of the job? A. By citing quotes. B. By listing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions. 26. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. She prioritizes new forms. B. She prefers emotional writing. C. She is hesitant about the role. D. She is acknowledged by her classmates. 27. What does the author think of the job? A. It’s stressful. B. It’s worthwhile. C. It’s straightforward. D. It’s troublesome. C One after another, injured koalas with burned paws and singed fur were carried into the rescue center. Suffering from severe dehydration and fear, they received urgent care from dedicated staff who bandaged their wounds, swaddled them gently, and placed them in baskets equipped with a familiar comfort: eucalyptus (桉树) leaves. This heartbreaking scene became frequent as catastrophic wildfires, which have consumed millions of acres in Australia, forced the rescue of dozens of koalas from burning trees and ash-covered ground. The plight of the koala, an iconic Australian symbol, has raised serious concerns among conservationists and scientists. They are questioning how to protect biodiversity in a country already experiencing intense fires, extreme heat, and water shortage — a nation that already has one of the highest rates of species extinction in the world. Although koalas have adapted to coexist with periodic wildfires, they now face threats on an unprecedented (史无前例的) scale. These challenges stem not only from climate change but also from extensive human development. The rise of urban areas and agriculture has split the koalas’ natural habitats, isolating populations and reducing their ability to survive disasters. In some regions, koala numbers have dropped by as much as 80%, though accurate counts across the vast continent remain difficult to obtain. “The fires are a tragedy for our wildlife,” said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of the Koala Hospital, the only facility of its kind globally. “We have these unique animals that exist nowhere else on Earth, and we are failing to protect them. This should serve as a massive wake-up call for everyone.” The situation underscores the urgent need for coordinated conservation efforts. It is clear that without significant intervention, the future of this beloved species remains uncertain. The loss of the koala would not only be an ecological disaster but also a cultural tragedy for Australia and the world. 28. What does the underlined word “plight” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Tough situation. B. Special habit. C. Cute appearance. D. Polluted environment. 29. Why are koalas now facing more serious threats than before? A. The Australian government ignores their survival. B. Climate change and human development bring risks. C. Conservationists have no effective protection measures. D. Their main food (eucalyptus. leaves) has sharply decreased. 30. What can we learn about the Koala Hospital from Cheyne Flanagan’s statement? A. It is the world’s only koala-specialized medical facility. B. It is facing great financial pressure in rescuing injured koalas. C. It plans to expand its scale to better protect koalas in the future. D. It has successfully saved most of the koalas injured in wildfires. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Impact of Australian wildfires on biodiversity. B. Rescue of injured koalas after Australian wildfires. C. Koalas’ severe threats and urgent need for conservation. D. The living habits of koalas and their dependence on eucalyptus leaves. D Individuals are different in how they react to anxiety. Some bury their heads in the sand and ignore the mounting sense of anxiety that seems to occupy the society. Others are in a watchful state and can’t get enough of the up-to-the-minute news and social media feeds. Martin Buber once stated that we related to three things around us: nature, our fellow men, and how you view the world. When we are in a burdened (忧虑的) state, we tend to take no notice of any of these. When we become unburdened from our depressed selves, we are able to discover the delights and wonders around and experience a deep sense of thankfulness. At a time when news reports are only a click away, people’s anxiety becomes extreme. Because of 24/7 media, the international and the interpersonal have integrated in a way that we have never seen before. It seems that we’ve lost the ability to maintain our inner peace—and that’s not just a matter of having opposing views about issues. It’s a matter of not having the patience to involve in delightful communication and to hear each other. Changing the situation can’t be achieved overnight. It’s not accidental, which must be approached with strength. It comes from the efforts to obtain understanding and calm. Our age of anxiety presents us with challenges. But out of adversity comes opportunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience thankfulness at a time when we are burdened, worried, and anxious. Like anything else, relaxation and calm take a bit of work. Attempt to limit your exposure to updates on the news and take a couple of moments to count your blessings—including the people in your life and the fortune from which you’ve benefited. As you may realize, it is taking things for granted that robs you of the fruits of your labor. Praying for goodness and planting seeds of gratitude may be our only way out. 32. According to paragraph two, What might happen to a relaxed person? A. Keeping up with the latest news items. B. Seeing the beauty in the surroundings. C. Paying no attention to the state of mind. D. Getting on well with nature and fellows. 33. What makes people anxiety-stricken? A. The large amount of information. B. The widespread false news. C The opposing views online. D. The lack of peaceful talks. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Methods to overcome challenges and difficulties. B. Steps to robbing people of their fruits of labor. C. Tips on limiting exposure to news updates. D. Ways to ease anxiety and value blessings. 35. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. Count Blessings Instead of Challenges B. Watch Out for the Traps of Media C. Be Thankful in an Age of Anxiety D. Take Nothing Online for Granted 第二节（七选五，每题2.5分，共12.5分） How to Make Friends in High School Friendships matter a lot for high school students — they encourage confidence, reduce the stress of school life, and support personal growth. However, making friends is not easy for everyone, especially when starting a new school or entering a new class. ____36____ Join after-school activities. ____37____ Joining sports, clubs or groups based on personal interests is a great way to meet classmates with similar passions. These places offer natural chances to connect with others. They allow students to chat naturally about things they love, like discussing a song in the music club or planning a match in the sports team, which helps them feel a sense of belonging quickly. Don’t spend too much time on screens. Technology is helpful in daily life, but too much screen time may reduce face-to-face communication. ____38____ This kind of interaction can improve communication skills, which is useful for making friends. For example, working on a group project in the library or playing a team game on the playground lets students talk and cooperate more. They can also set a 30-minute daily limit for phone use after homework, leaving more time for in-person talks. ____39____ If face-to-face talks make students feel nervous, safe online groups can be a good start. These groups let them share ideas without pressure, helping build confidence, and online friends may even become real-life ones. Students should choose platforms with strict safety rules, never share personal information like phone numbers, and meet online friends in public if they trust each other. Learn from good examples. It is helpful to watch how good friends behave — they are usually honest, kind and open. ____40____ For instance, good friends listen carefully when others share worries and keep promises. Besides, being a good listener and caring about others’ feelings also helps. These small acts make friendships stronger and last longer. A. Here are useful tips to help you. B.

This question stayed in my mind as I faced the tough situation of nearly losing my father. That unforgettable experience taught me a lesson about the shortness of life and the importance of treasuring every moment with our loved ones. Our family was a tight unit built around my father’s work as a truck driver — he spent long hours on the road delivering goods across the state, but always made sure to be home for Sunday dinners. Dad was more than just a provider; he was the backbone of our family, the one who fixed broken bikes and reminded us daily that “hard work and heart can get you through anything”. We’d grown used to his routine — leaving in early mornings, returning in late evenings — and never thought twice about how delicate those moments of togetherness might be. It was a quiet morning in September when my life took an unexpected turn. Around 3:30, a gentle whisper in my ear awakened me from sleep, “Judy, Judy, wake up.” Half-asleep and confused, I found myself staring at my aunt Eva, who was standing over me. “Aunt Eva, are you really here, or am I dreaming?” I asked, trying to distinguish reality from a dream. Her response was both relieving and alarming, “Yes, it is me. Everything is going to be OK. You just need to get up, get dressed, and help your little sisters get ready.” Despite her attempts at calmness, I could tell for sure the seriousness of the situation from the tremble in her voice. As soon as we were ready, we piled into Aunt Eva’s car, still confused about the unfolding events. “Where are we going? Where are my mom and dad?” I asked. Aunt Eva, trying to maintain her calmness, replied, “I am going to take you to them. Just have a short sleep, and I will wake you up when we are there.” The 30-minute drive to Memorial Hermann Hospital felt almost like a century. As we eventually entered the emergency room, I saw my mom crying softly over there. 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。 At that moment, I knew something was terribly wrong. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After months of stay in the hospital, my father was finally allowed to return home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
