In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.
The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height. But a group of passionate local residents, led by the energetic and determined Mrs. Thompson, saw potential. They firmly believed that this barren space could be turned into something extraordinary, and thus, the idea of a community garden was born.
With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons.
As the garden succeeded, it became the new heart of the community. Neighbors who had previously only exchanged brief nods started having long, friendly conversations. They shared valuable gardening tips over cups of coffee, and on sunny weekends, the garden was filled with laughter during lively picnics. The local school actively participated as well. Regularly, science classes made their way to the garden, an exciting laboratory where students were able to have hands-on experience.
The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts. The abundant produce (农产品) was shared among the volunteers, and a significant amount was donated to the local food bank, bringing warmth and nutrition to those in need. This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.
4. What is the main purpose of the community garden project?
A. To promote local tourism.
B. To provide jobs for local residents.
C. To beautify the town and unite the community.
D. To compete with other towns’ gardening projects.
5. What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Irreplaceable. B. Unproductive. C. Impractical. D. Inaccessible.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Funding was the key to success.
B. Only adults worked on the project.
C. The elderly played the biggest role.
D. Joint efforts made the project possible.
7. The act of donating garden produce to the local food bank implies that the volunteers ________.
A. seek media attention. B. aim to expand the garden’s size.
C. focus on community’s well-being. D. lack storage space for the harvest.
C
It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.
Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”
8. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?
A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.
B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.
C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.
D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.
9. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?
A. They run out of energy and are very tired.
B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.
C. They are completely saddened and shocked.
D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.
10. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?
A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall.
C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment.
11. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?
A. Addressing mental problems.
B. Providing immediate medical care.
C Conducting climate change research.
D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.
D
Some foods are highly processed or ultra-processed. Ultra-processed foods (UPF) have become increasingly popular and range from chips to microwave meals and even bread. Even just a casual glance at supermarket shelves reveals a collection of UPF offerings in delicate and attractive packaging. Besides their affordability, UPF not only offer time-saving convenience, but also momentary satisfaction filled with fat, sugar, salt and additives. After all, who can resist enjoying a tasty snack when lost in a football game or an exciting new TV series?
Although much is discussed about the direct negative impact of these products on our health, including obesity, heart diseases and diabetes, little has been said about the impacts of UPF on the environment. The most serious environmental impacts of UPF-rich diets mainly come from the post-farm stages, especially from the final product creation and packaging processes.
One specific additive that has the most environmental impact is palm oil. Palm oil is responsible for deforestation of some of the world’s big forests, which have diverse animals and plants. It is one of the world’s most consumed vegetable oils that can be found in half of our food. The massive waste generated by over-packaged UPF is another factor to consider. Their plastic packaging doesn't degrade in landfills or in nature and has a dramatic impact on soil health and life in the sea. One recent study published in Nature Sustainability demonstrates that UPF processing and packaging stages have the greatest environmental impacts of the whole system and are a major source of environmental waste worldwide.
The environmental impact of ultra-processed foods cannot be ignored any longer. While producers must take action, it is our growing awareness of what we buy and how it is produced that drives real change. By choosing wisely — whether by rejecting heavily processed options or supporting sustainable brands — we exercise the power to shape a better food system, a responsibility we must embrace.
12. What can be learned about UPF from the first paragraph?
A. They are primarily consumed during casual leisure activities.
B. They are carefully produced to be environmentally friendly.
C. They are filled with various kinds of healthy added nutrients.
D. They are favored by many for their fancy packages and flavors.
13. Why palm oil was introduced in the text?
A. To compare it with some other vegetable oils.
B. To explain UPF's harmful environmental effects.
C. To show its relationship with animals and plants.
D. To discuss factors of UPF's packaging-related pollution.
14. What does the author think of the role we play in fighting UPF?
A Tiny. B. Essential. C. Replaceable. D. Limited.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Shelf to Soil: the Hidden Journey of UPF
B. Fast and Cheap: UPF Take Over Our Daily Diets
C. Beyond the Shelf: UPF Are Harming the Planet
D. Convenience at a Cost: the Health Damage of UPF

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头句续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After my grandmother passed away, I inherited her small greenhouse hidden in the corner of the garden. Stepping inside for the first time, I was greeted by a symphony (交响乐) of colors and scents — a haven I’d always admired but never truly understood. Among the rows of colorful blooms, a small, wilted (枯萎的) plant caught my eye. According to the tag, it was a Lady’s Slipper orchid (杓兰), an endangered species my grandmother had been nurturing (培育) for years. Alongside the orchid, inside a cardboard box was a little sparrow (麻雀) with a hurt wing, which my grandmother had apparently taken in (收留).
Determined to fulfill her mission, I began the journey of nurturing both the orchid and the injured bird. Caring for the orchid was challenging. It required precise humidity (精确的湿度) levels, gentle sunlight and a special mixture of soil that mimicked (模仿) its natural forest habitat. Every day, I painstakingly (煞费苦心地) watered its wilted leaves, applying some organic fertilizers (化肥) and worrying about every new flower bud (花苞) wouldn’t survive.
The fragile little sparrow, too, required devoted attention. Every morning, I carefully prepared a mixture of crushed (捣碎的) worms and seeds. Then, with utmost gentleness, I used a soft cloth with warm water to carefully clean its injured wing. To help it heal (痊愈), I crafted a basic support from sticks and soft cloth to stabilize its broken wing.
My eagerness to help led to the excessive watering, the forced feedings and the endless adjustments, disrupting the rhythm (节奏) of nature. There were countless setbacks (挫折). The orchid’s leaves began to yellow, dropping its head lifelessly and the sparrow refused to eat for days, curling up weakly with dull eyes. I was consumed by doubt. Perhaps I was ill-equipped to handle such delicate lives. Just when I felt on the edge of giving up, I remembered the notes my grandmother had left behind. In her beautiful handwriting, she’d written, “Nature moves at its own unhurried pace, and yet every goal is gently accomplished.”
注意:
1. 续写词数80个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
These words became my guiding light.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks later, the buds burst into bloom and the sparrow could fly again. I knew it was time to set it free, though parting really hurt. As I opened my hands, the sparrow fluttered its wings against my palms as if bidding farewell. With a soft cry, it soared into the sky, circling once before disappearing into the trees. Back to the greenhouse, I found the orchid, bathed in sunlight, taught me patience without words. My grandmother’s words rippled through my heart, gifting me the art of waiting and the wisdom of letting life unfold at its own pace.

In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.
The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height. But a group of passionate local residents, led by the energetic and determined Mrs. Thompson, saw potential. They firmly believed that this barren space could be turned into something extraordinary, and thus, the idea of a community garden was born.
With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons.
As the garden succeeded, it became the new heart of the community. Neighbors who had previously only exchanged brief nods started having long, friendly conversations. They shared valuable gardening tips over cups of coffee, and on sunny weekends, the garden was filled with laughter during lively picnics. The local school actively participated as well. Regularly, science classes made their way to the garden, an exciting laboratory where students were able to have hands-on experience.
The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts. The abundant produce (农产品) was shared among the volunteers, and a significant amount was donated to the local food bank, bringing warmth and nutrition to those in need. This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.
4. What is the main purpose of the community garden project?
A. To promote local tourism.
B. To provide jobs for local residents.
C. To beautify the town and unite the community.
D. To compete with other towns’ gardening projects.
5. What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Irreplaceable. B. Unproductive. C. Impractical. D. Inaccessible.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Funding was the key to success.
B. Only adults worked on the project.
C. The elderly played the biggest role.
D. Joint efforts made the project possible.
7. The act of donating garden produce to the local food bank implies that the volunteers ________.

【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.(在格林菲尔德小镇,一个非凡的社区花园项目一直在将一块空地改造成一个美丽且团结的地方)”以及最后一段“The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts... This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.(社区花园不仅美化了小镇,用绿色绿洲取代了破旧的空地,而且产生了深远的实际影响…… 格林菲尔德的这个项目确实成为了其他城镇的光辉典范,生动地展示了一个社区的共同努力如何能将一片荒芜的空间变成每个人欢乐和富足的源泉)” 可知,社区花园项目的主要目的是美化小镇并团结社区。故选C。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil.

It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.
Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”
8. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?
A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.
B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.
C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.
D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.
9. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?
A. They run out of energy and are very tired.
B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.
C. They are completely saddened and shocked.
D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.
10. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?
A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall.
C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment.
11. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?
A. Addressing mental problems.
B. Providing immediate medical care.
C. Conducting climate change research.
D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了德尔纳遭遇特大洪水,造成上万人死亡,以及引起洪水的原因和国际救援队伍正在提供救助。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.(当和家人住在利比亚东部德尔纳山区的英语教师艾达·布耶尔丹(Ehdaa Bujeldain)听到一声巨响,听起来像是爆炸声时,下着前所未有的雨。后来,他们得知德尔纳的一座水坝在流水的压力下倒塌了。在接下来的四天里,他们没有电,也没有网络,直到最近,他们才开始完全了解洪水造成的破坏)”可推知,四天里,他们没有电,也没有网络和外界断开了联系,所以几天来,他们没有完全认识到洪水的严重性。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone.(半个城市被毁了。我妈妈的亲戚,我的朋友,我的同事——他们都不在了)”以及后文“whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.(从她茫然的表情可以很容易地看出她的悲伤)”可知,布耶尔丹因为洪水失去了亲戚,朋友和同事,非常的悲伤,所以她说“just ghosts in shells”表达他们完全感到悲伤和震惊。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling”(令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.(德尔纳是一座沿海城市,有一条季节性河流叫做德尔纳河。尽管下着异常的大雨,但在那个可怕的早晨,洪水涌来之前,住在河边的人们几乎没有得到任何预警。联合国救援组织负责人马丁·格里菲斯称这次洪水的规模“令人震惊”,并将洪水部分归咎于突如其来的气候变化)”可知,因为没有任何预警,下着异常的大雨以及突如其来的气候变化导致了生命的流逝,文中没有提到对环境的破坏的因素。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”(救援小组的医生塔霍尼警告说,最困难的几周还在后面。“一场灾难过去了,另一场灾难还在后头,”他说。“成千上万失去一切的人现在需要安慰,需要陪伴,需要心理支持。”)”可知,对救援小组来说最难的是安慰幸存者,所以他们的重点可能是解决心理问题。故选A项。
D
Some foods are highly processed or ultra-processed. Ultra-processed foods (UPF) have become increasingly popular and range from chips to microwave meals and even bread. Even just a casual glance at supermarket shelves reveals a collection of UPF offerings in delicate and attractive packaging. Besides their affordability, UPF not only offer time-saving convenience, but also momentary satisfaction filled with fat, sugar, salt and additives. After all, who can resist enjoying a tasty snack when lost in a football game or an exciting new TV series?
Although much is discussed about the direct negative impact of these products on our health, including obesity, heart diseases and diabetes, little has been said about the impacts of UPF on the environment. The most serious environmental impacts of UPF-rich diets mainly come from the post-farm stages, especially from the final product creation and packaging processes.
One specific additive that has the most environmental impact is palm oil. Palm oil is responsible for deforestation of some of the world’s big forests, which have diverse animals and plants. It is one of the world’s most consumed vegetable oils that can be found in half of our food. The massive waste generated by over-packaged UPF is another factor to consider. Their plastic packaging doesn't degrade in landfills or in nature and has a dramatic impact on soil health and life in the sea. One recent study published in Nature Sustainability demonstrates that UPF processing and packaging stages have the greatest environmental impacts of the whole system and are a major source of environmental waste worldwide.
The environmental impact of ultra-processed foods cannot be ignored any longer. While producers must take action, it is our growing awareness of what we buy and how it is produced that drives real change. By choosing wisely — whether by rejecting heavily processed options or supporting sustainable brands — we exercise the power to shape a better food system, a responsibility we must embrace.
12 What can be learned about UPF from the first paragraph?
A. They are primarily consumed during casual leisure activities.
B. They are carefully produced to be environmentally friendly.
C. They are filled with various kinds of healthy added nutrients.
D. They are favored by many for their fancy packages and flavors.
13. Why palm oil was introduced in the text?
A. To compare it with some other vegetable oils.
B. To explain UPF's harmful environmental effects.
C. To show its relationship with animals and plants.
D. To discuss factors of UPF's packaging-related pollution.
14. What does the author think of the role we play in fighting UPF?
A. Tiny. B. Essential. C. Replaceable. D. Limited.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Shelf to Soil: the Hidden Journey of UPF
B. Fast and Cheap: UPF Take Over Our Daily Diets
C. Beyond the Shelf: UPF Are Harming the Planet
D. Convenience at a Cost: the Health Damage of UPF
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了超加工食品(UPF)的普及现象及其对环境和人类健康的潜在影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ultra-processed foods (UPF) have become increasingly popular and range from chips to microwave meals and even bread. Even just a casual glance at supermarket shelves reveals a collection of UPF offerings in delicate and attractive packaging. Besides their affordability, UPF not only offer time-saving convenience, but also momentary satisfaction filled with fat, sugar, salt and additives. After all, who can resist enjoying a tasty snack when lost in a football game or an exciting new TV series? (超加工食品(UPF)越来越受欢迎,从薯片到微波食品,甚至面包都有。即使只是随便看一眼超市的货架,也能看到包装精美、诱人的UPF产品。除了价格实惠,UPF不仅提供了节省时间的便利,还提供了充满脂肪、糖、盐和添加剂的短暂满足感。毕竟,当沉浸在足球比赛或激动人心的新电视剧中时,谁能抵挡得住美味零食的诱惑呢?)”可知,超加工食品以其精美的包装和美味受到许多人的青睐。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“One specific additive that has the most environmental impact is palm oil. Palm oil is responsible for deforestation of some of the world’s big forests, which have diverse animals and plants. It is one of the world’s most consumed vegetable oils that can be found in half of our food. (对环境影响最大的一种特定添加剂是棕榈油。棕榈油是导致世界上一些大森林被砍伐的原因,这些森林里有各种各样的动植物。它是世界上消费量最大的植物油之一,在我们一半的食物中都能找到。)”可知,文中提到棕榈油是为了解释UPF对环境的有害影响。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While producers must take action, it is our growing awareness of what we buy and how it is produced that drives real change. By choosing wisely — whether by rejecting heavily processed options or supporting sustainable brands — we exercise the power to shape a better food system, a responsibility we must embrace. (虽然生产商必须采取行动,但我们对购买什么以及如何生产的日益增长的意识才是推动真正变革的动力。通过明智的选择——无论是拒绝过度加工的产品还是支持可持续的品牌——我们行使了塑造更好食品体系的权力,这是我们必须承担的责任。)”可知,作者认为我们在对抗UPF中起着至关重要的作用。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Although much is discussed about the direct negative impact of these products on our health, including obesity, heart diseases and diabetes, little has been said about the impacts of UPF on the environment. (虽然关于这些产品对我们健康的直接负面影响,包括肥胖、心脏病和糖尿病,已经讨论了很多,但关于UPF对环境的影响却很少被提及。)”和第三段中“One recent study published in Nature Sustainability demonstrates that UPF processing and packaging stages have the greatest environmental impacts of the whole system and are a major source of environmental waste worldwide. (最近发表在《自然可持续性》杂志上的一项研究表明,UPF的加工和包装阶段对整个系统的环境影响最大,是全球环境废物的主要来源。)”可知,文章主要讲述了超加工食品(UPF)对环境的有害影响,所以C项“Beyond the Shelf: UPF Are Harming the Planet (货架之外:超加工食品正在危害地球)”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

A Rewarding English Salon on Chinese Tea Culture
Last Monday, our school’s English Club held an English salon themed “Chinese Tea Culture”.
To deepen students’ insight into China’s time-honored tea culture and enhance their English competence, the event began with icebreakers like tea-themed self introductions and tool-matching games. Then a bilingual tea specialist delivered a mini-lecture on the origins of Longjing and Tieguanyin and helped students grasp tea-related English expressions, followed by a hands-on session which allowed students to make tea while describing the steps in English.
The salon was highly praised, as it turned rigid English learning into a vivid experience and helped students connect deeply with their cultural roots — making them proud to learn and share traditional Chinese tea culture.

第二节 读后续写(满分 15 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头句续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After my grandmother passed away, I inherited her small greenhouse hidden in the corner of the garden. Stepping inside for the first time, I was greeted by a symphony (交响乐) of colors and scents — a haven I’d always admired but never truly understood. Among the rows of colorful blooms, a small, wilted (枯萎的) plant caught my eye. According to the tag, it was a Lady’s Slipper orchid (杓兰), an endangered species my grandmother had been nurturing (培育) for years. Alongside the orchid, inside a cardboard box was a little sparrow (麻雀) with a hurt wing, which my grandmother had apparently taken in (收留).
Determined to fulfill her mission, I began the journey of nurturing both the orchid and the injured bird. Caring for the orchid was challenging. It required precise humidity (精确的湿度) levels, gentle sunlight and a special mixture of soil that mimicked (模仿) its natural forest habitat. Every day, I painstakingly (煞费苦心地) watered its wilted leaves, applying some organic fertilizers (化肥) and worrying about every new flower bud (花苞) wouldn’t survive.
The fragile little sparrow, too, required devoted attention. Every morning, I carefully prepared a mixture of crushed (捣碎的) worms and seeds. Then, with utmost gentleness, I used a soft cloth with warm water to carefully clean its injured wing. To help it heal (痊愈), I crafted a basic support from sticks and soft cloth to stabilize its broken wing.
My eagerness to help led to the excessive watering, the forced feedings and the endless adjustments, disrupting the rhythm (节奏) of nature. There were countless setbacks (挫折). The orchid’s leaves began to yellow, dropping its head lifelessly and the sparrow refused to eat for days, curling up weakly with dull eyes. I was consumed by doubt. Perhaps I was ill-equipped to handle such delicate lives. Just when I felt on the edge of giving up, I remembered the notes my grandmother had left behind. In her beautiful handwriting, she’d written, “Nature moves at its own unhurried pace, and yet every goal is gently accomplished.”
注意:
1. 续写词数80个左右;

These words became my guiding light.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks later, the buds burst into bloom and the sparrow could fly again. I knew it was time to set it free, though parting really hurt. As I opened my hands, the sparrow fluttered its wings against my palms as if bidding farewell. With a soft cry, it soared into the sky, circling once before disappearing into the trees. Back to the greenhouse, I found the orchid, bathed in sunlight, taught me patience without words. My grandmother’s words rippled through my heart, gifting me the art of waiting and the wisdom of letting life unfold at its own pace.
【答案】范文:
These words became my guiding light. Like a beacon piercing the darkness, they cut through the fog of self-doubt that had long clouded my mind. Gradually, I embraced the wisdom of “unhurried accomplishment,” and learned to read nature’s subtle messages — checking soil humidity before watering, leaving fresh food for the sparrow rather than forcing it to eat and removing the sticks and cloth to let its wings breathe in the sunlight. Progressing slowly at nature’s pace, a subtle miracle unfolded: the orchid’s once-wilted yellow leaves turned green and the sparrow regained vitality, pecking seeds eagerly. Witnessing this thriving scene, I was filled with profound relief and joy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者继承外婆的温室后,照料濒危杓兰和受伤麻雀,在挫折中领悟顺应自然节奏的智慧的故事。

2.续写线索:这些话成了作者的指路明灯——作者领悟了静待花开的道理——作者开始放缓节奏——浇水前先检测土壤湿度——不再强行投喂麻雀,拆掉了麻雀翅膀上的支架——慢慢地,奇迹发生了——兰花有了绿意,麻雀有了活力——而作者心中也涌起了欣慰和喜悦
