The TV series Wolf Pack starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is centered around the lives of a group of Los Angeles teenagers, whose lives are changed forever when a supernatural creature is freed after a series of unexplained wildfires break out.
Not much is known about Gellar’s character on the show, except for the fact that she is playing Kristin Ramsey, an expert who moves to Los Angeles to find the person who started the wildfires. She spoke to Fox News Digital about her big return to TV, and explained why she thought she was drawn to projects featuring monsters (怪物).
“For me, it’s always about the stories, and in talking today, we have discovered that the superhuman allows you to tell the most human stories because it really allows you to use these monsters to explore emotions, fears and anxieties that you can’t experience in other worlds,” Gellar explained.
“I think it’s a really important conversation that people will be along for the ride, but then realize what the meaning is behind all of it,” she added. Gellar’s co-star, Rodrigo, agreed with her, saying he hoped audiences could look at the deeper meanings behind the monsters on the show and realize they were all metaphors (隐喻) to discuss in our own inner monsters.”
Gellar recently told SFX Magazine she was very proud of the show.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The cause of wildfires. B. A creature’s activity.
C. The plot of Wolf Pack. D. A group of teenagers’ lives.

A. Rich experiences. B. Wildfires in a show.
C. Monsters in the story. D. Discussion with each other.
6. How did Gellar feel about the series Wolf Pack?
A. Satisfied. B. Frightened. C. Moved. D. Disappointed.
7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Kristin Ramsey moves to Los Angeles to track wildfires’ supernatural creature.
B. The wildfires in the show have a clear and reasonable explanation.
C. Gellar has revealed most details about her character in the show.

In the past few decades, the way people access information has undergone a dramatic transformation, shifting from traditional media to digital platforms. Traditional media, which includes newspapers, television, and radio, has long been the basis of public communication. These forms of media are characterized by their one-way communication model, where information is delivered to a passive audience without immediate interaction. In contrast, digital media — including social media, blogs, and online news websites — operates on a dynamic, interactive framework that allows users to engage, comment, and share content in real time.
Despite their differences, both traditional and digital media share the fundamental goal of spreading information to the public. Each serves as a tool for education, entertainment, and monitoring of the environment. Moreover, both forms are influenced by economic factors — relying on advertising income and audience engagement — and must stick to ethical standards, although the carrying out of these standards varies significantly between the two.
However, the differences between these media forms are obvious. Traditional media typically offers slower, more selected content produced by professionals, often ensuring higher accuracy but lacking immediacy. Digital media, on the other hand, provides instant updates and a variety of perspectives at the cost of occasional unreliability. One critical distinction lies in accessibility: traditional media is often limited by geographic and temporal restrictions, while digital media is globally accessible anytime, promoting a more interconnected world. Additionally, digital platforms allow users to become content creators themselves, making them difficult to see the line between producers and consumers.
Looking ahead, the future undoubtedly belongs to digital media. With the rapid advancement of technology and increasing internet penetration (渗透) worldwide, digital platforms are becoming the primary source of information for younger generations. Although traditional media will not disappear entirely, its role will likely reduce to that of a supplementary source, valued for its depth and credibility. As artificial intelligence and big data continue to evolve, digital media will further personalize user experiences and dominate the landscape of communication. Ultimately, this shift indicates not just a change in how we consume information, but a transformation in how we connect with the world around us.
8. What is a key characteristic of digital media according to the passage?
A. It relies only on professional content producers.
B. It allows real-time interaction and engagement.
C. It is limited by geographic and temporal restrictions.
D. It delivers information through a one-way communication model.
9. What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?
A. To predict the future development of digital media.
B. To discuss the economic models of both media types.
C To emphasize the differences between the two media forms.
D. To emphasize the shared goals and features of both media.
10. The underlined word “supplementary” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. main B. valuable C. additional D. necessary
11. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. How to Become a Content Creator B. The Disadvantages of Digital Platforms
C. The Economic Challenges of Traditional Media D. The Media Revolution: From Traditional to Digital
D
A recent study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati, led by Dr. Alberto Espay, challenges the common idea that monoclonal-antibodies (单克隆抗体) help slow down memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients by removing amyloid-plaques (淀粉样斑块).
Instead, the study shows that an unexpected increase in a key brain protein, called amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42), is more closely linked to improvements in thinking ability. This research was published in the journal Brain on September 11. For many years, experts believed that amyloid-plaques, which form from Aβ42, harm the brain and cause Alzheimer’s disease. However, Dr. Espay and his team suggest a different theory. They believe the real problem is the loss of soluble (易溶解的) Aβ42, which is important for keeping brain cells healthy, rather than the buildup of plaques. Previous research from Dr. Espay’s group showed that Alzheimer’s symptoms appear when Aβ42 levels fall too low, not when plaque levels are high.
According to Dr. Espay, the formation of amyloid plaques may be the brain’s natural way of responding to stress, like changes in metabolism (代谢). He points out that many people get amyloid- plaques as they age but do not develop dementia (痴呆). Still, current treatments for Alzheimer’s focus on these plaques.
New monoclonal-antibody treatments, meant to clear amyloid, have shown benefits in clinical trials. Dr. Espay’s team studied data from almost 26,000 patients in 24 clinical trials of these antibody treatments. They found that these treatments also accidentally increased Aβ42 levels. This suggests that the improvement in thinking may be because of higher Aβ42 levels, not because of plaque removal.
While raising Aβ42 levels seems helpful, Dr. Espay warns that removing amyloid plaques could harm the brain by making it shrink faster. He suggests focusing on treatments that raise Aβ42 directly, without targeting amyloid plaques. “Increasing Aβ42 is the goal,” he says, “but removing amyloid may not be the right way to do it.”
12. What’s the common idea of treating Alzheimer’s?
A. Raising Aβ42 levels. B. Increasing neuron activity.
C. Reducing brain shrinkage. D. Removing amyloid- plaques.
13. What do we know about Aβ42?
A. It is unrelated to the Alzheimer’s. B. It is only harmful when it forms plaques.
C. Its loss may lead to Alzheimer’s symptoms. D. It damages brain cells when its levels are high.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Everyone with amyloid plaques develops dementia.
B. Current Alzheimer’s treatments focus on raising Aβ42 levels.
C. Amyloid plaques may be a protective response by the brain.
D. Removing amyloid plaques guarantees better cognitive function.
15. Which of the following will Dr. Espay agree with?
A. Treatments should focus on raising Aβ42 levels.
B. Removing amyloid plaques will prevent Alzheimer’s.
C. Amyloid plaques are the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
D. Increasing Aβ42 levels through amyloid removal is always safe.

It’s okay to take a break. When you first start working out, it can be tough. I was getting all sorts of aches and pains when I first started, and I often denied myself rest days because I felt like I always had to work out at the highest intensity. Please remember to take a break. Your body needs to reset. ___20___

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。
I was doing a big clean-up recently and my kids were helping when my son, Freddo, came across a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. “Mom, can I have this? Can I play with this coin?” he asked. I took one look and was immediately transported to another time.
In 1991, there was a time when my friend and I worked in an African country, Niger, hit by sandstorms and burning heat. There were many things I found difficult about this place---the climate and beggars were my biggest headaches. So after finishing five months of nursing work there, we moved on to work at a health clinic in a neighboring country, Burkina Faso. “It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better,” the locals assured us.
Yet the fact was quite the opposite. Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. I was reaching for my larger piece of luggage when, out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of them grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the pair were out of sight, swallowed up by the night.
With my passport, money, traveler's checks all in the bag, I was in deep trouble. How frustrating! All I wanted was to leave this place! Then, walking through Burkina's streets one day, I was stopped by an old woman who thrust(猛推)her hand in my face. “Cadeau(‘gift’ in French)! Cadeau!” she cried. I'd had enough! I was extremely tired of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, the dust and... everything! I told her angrily and firmly in French, “I have no ‘cadeau’. I have no money. A thief stole all my money two weeks ago and now I can’t get out of your country. I cannot give you anything. NOTHING!” The beggar woman listened attentively. To my great surprise, after hearing my words, she gave a broad smile.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
She reached into the pocket of her dress.

There was a slight touch on my hand; looking down, I saw my son looking at me, curious.

The TV series Wolf Pack starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is centered around the lives of a group of Los Angeles teenagers, whose lives are changed forever when a supernatural creature is freed after a series of unexplained wildfires break out.
Not much is known about Gellar’s character on the show, except for the fact that she is playing Kristin Ramsey, an expert who moves to Los Angeles to find the person who started the wildfires. She spoke to Fox News Digital about her big return to TV, and explained why she thought she was drawn to projects featuring monsters (怪物).
“For me, it’s always about the stories, and in talking today, we have discovered that the superhuman allows you to tell the most human stories because it really allows you to use these monsters to explore emotions, fears and anxieties that you can’t experience in other worlds,” Gellar explained.
“I think it’s a really important conversation that people will be along for the ride, but then realize what the meaning is behind all of it,” she added. Gellar’s co-star, Rodrigo, agreed with her, saying he hoped audiences could look at the deeper meanings behind the monsters on the show and realize they were all metaphors (隐喻) to discuss in our own inner monsters.”
Gellar recently told SFX Magazine she was very proud of the show.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The cause of wildfires. B. A creature’s activity.
C. The plot of Wolf Pack. D. A group of teenagers’ lives.
5. According to Gellar, what can help her uncover people’s feelings?
A. Rich experiences. B. Wildfires in a show.
C. Monsters in the story. D. Discussion with each other.
6. How did Gellar feel about the series Wolf Pack?
A. Satisfied. B. Frightened. C. Moved. D. Disappointed.

In the past few decades, the way people access information has undergone a dramatic transformation, shifting from traditional media to digital platforms. Traditional media, which includes newspapers, television, and radio, has long been the basis of public communication. These forms of media are characterized by their one-way communication model, where information is delivered to a passive audience without immediate interaction. In contrast, digital media — including social media, blogs, and online news websites — operates on a dynamic, interactive framework that allows users to engage, comment, and share content in real time.
Despite their differences, both traditional and digital media share the fundamental goal of spreading information to the public. Each serves as a tool for education, entertainment, and monitoring of the environment. Moreover, both forms are influenced by economic factors — relying on advertising income and audience engagement — and must stick to ethical standards, although the carrying out of these standards varies significantly between the two.
However, the differences between these media forms are obvious. Traditional media typically offers slower, more selected content produced by professionals, often ensuring higher accuracy but lacking immediacy. Digital media, on the other hand, provides instant updates and a variety of perspectives at the cost of occasional unreliability. One critical distinction lies in accessibility: traditional media is often limited by geographic and temporal restrictions, while digital media is globally accessible anytime, promoting a more interconnected world. Additionally, digital platforms allow users to become content creators themselves, making them difficult to see the line between producers and consumers.
Looking ahead, the future undoubtedly belongs to digital media. With the rapid advancement of technology and increasing internet penetration (渗透) worldwide, digital platforms are becoming the primary source of information for younger generations. Although traditional media will not disappear entirely, its role will likely reduce to that of a supplementary source, valued for its depth and credibility. As artificial intelligence and big data continue to evolve, digital media will further personalize user experiences and dominate the landscape of communication. Ultimately, this shift indicates not just a change in how we consume information, but a transformation in how we connect with the world around us.
8. What is a key characteristic of digital media according to the passage?
A. It relies only on professional content producers.
B. It allows real-time interaction and engagement.
C. It is limited by geographic and temporal restrictions.
D It delivers information through a one-way communication model.
9. What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?
A. To predict the future development of digital media.
B. To discuss the economic models of both media types.
C. To emphasize the differences between the two media forms.
D. To emphasize the shared goals and features of both media.
10. The underlined word “supplementary” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. main B. valuable C. additional D. necessary
11. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. How to Become a Content Creator B. The Disadvantages of Digital Platforms
C. The Economic Challenges of Traditional Media D. The Media Revolution: From Traditional to Digital
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍信息获取方式从传统媒体到数字媒体的转变,对比两者异同并展望数字媒体的发展前景。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In contrast, digital media — including social media, blogs, and online news websites — operates on a dynamic, interactive framework that allows users to engage, comment, and share content in real time. (相比之下,数字媒体——包括社交媒体、博客和在线新闻网站——运作于一个动态、互动的框架之上,允许用户实时参与、评论和分享内容。)”可知,数字媒体的核心特点是支持实时的互动与参与。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Despite their differences, both traditional and digital media share the fundamental goal of spreading information to the public. Each serves as a tool for education, entertainment, and monitoring of the environment. Moreover, both forms are influenced by economic factors — relying on advertising income and audience engagement — and must stick to ethical standards, although the carrying out of these standards varies significantly between the two. (尽管传统媒体与数字媒体存在差异,但二者的根本目标都是向公众传播信息。二者均可用作教育、娱乐和环境监督的工具。此外,这两种媒体形式都会受到经济因素的影响——它们都依赖广告收入与受众参与度——同时也必须遵守伦理准则,不过这两类媒体在这些准则的执行方式上存在显著差异。)”可知,本段主要讨论了两者在传播信息、服务功能、经济因素和道德标准方面的共同点,所以,该段的核心目的是强调两种媒体形式的共同目标与特征。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Looking ahead, the future undoubtedly belongs to digital media. With the rapid advancement of technology and increasing internet penetration (渗透) worldwide, digital platforms are becoming the primary source of information for younger generations. Although traditional media will not disappear entirely, its role will likely reduce to that of a supplementary source, valued for its depth and credibility. (展望未来,数字媒体无疑将主宰未来。随着技术的飞速发展和全球互联网普及率的不断提高,数字平台正成为年轻一代获取信息的主要来源。尽管传统媒体不会完全消失,但其作用可能会缩减为一种supplementary来源,凭借其深度和可信度而具有价值。)”可知,传统媒体的地位从主流变为辅助,因此“supplementary”的含义与“additional”(补充的)最为接近。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“In the past few decades, the way people access information has undergone a dramatic transformation, shifting from traditional media to digital platforms. (在过去几十年里,人们获取信息的方式发生了巨大转变,从传统媒体转向了数字平台)”以及后文对两种媒体的对比和未来趋势的分析可知,全文围绕媒体从传统到数字的变革展开。因此“媒体革命:从传统到数字”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
D
A recent study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati, led by Dr. Alberto Espay, challenges the common idea that monoclonal-antibodies (单克隆抗体) help slow down memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients by removing amyloid-plaques (淀粉样斑块).
Instead, the study shows that an unexpected increase in a key brain protein, called amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42), is more closely linked to improvements in thinking ability. This research was published in the journal Brain on September 11. For many years, experts believed that amyloid-plaques, which form from Aβ42, harm the brain and cause Alzheimer’s disease. However, Dr. Espay and his team suggest a different theory. They believe the real problem is the loss of soluble (易溶解的) Aβ42, which is important for keeping brain cells healthy, rather than the buildup of plaques. Previous research from Dr. Espay’s group showed that Alzheimer’s symptoms appear when Aβ42 levels fall too low, not when plaque levels are high.
According to Dr. Espay, the formation of amyloid plaques may be the brain’s natural way of responding to stress, like changes in metabolism (代谢). He points out that many people get amyloid- plaques as they age but do not develop dementia (痴呆). Still, current treatments for Alzheimer’s focus on these plaques.
New monoclonal-antibody treatments, meant to clear amyloid, have shown benefits in clinical trials. Dr. Espay’s team studied data from almost 26,000 patients in 24 clinical trials of these antibody treatments. They found that these treatments also accidentally increased Aβ42 levels. This suggests that the improvement in thinking may be because of higher Aβ42 levels, not because of plaque removal.
While raising Aβ42 levels seems helpful, Dr. Espay warns that removing amyloid plaques could harm the brain by making it shrink faster. He suggests focusing on treatments that raise Aβ42 directly, without targeting amyloid plaques. “Increasing Aβ42 is the goal,” he says, “but removing amyloid may not be the right way to do it.”
12 What’s the common idea of treating Alzheimer’s?
A. Raising Aβ42 levels. B. Increasing neuron activity.
C. Reducing brain shrinkage. D. Removing amyloid- plaques.
13. What do we know about Aβ42?
A. It is unrelated to the Alzheimer’s. B. It is only harmful when it forms plaques.
C. Its loss may lead to Alzheimer’s symptoms. D. It damages brain cells when its levels are high.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Everyone with amyloid plaques develops dementia.
B. Current Alzheimer’s treatments focus on raising Aβ42 levels.
C. Amyloid plaques may be a protective response by the brain.
D. Removing amyloid plaques guarantees better cognitive function.
15. Which of the following will Dr. Espay agree with?
A. Treatments should focus on raising Aβ42 levels.
B. Removing amyloid plaques will prevent Alzheimer’s.
C. Amyloid plaques are the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
D. Increasing Aβ42 levels through amyloid removal is always safe.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了辛辛那提大学的一项研究挑战了传统观点,认为阿尔茨海默病治疗应关注提高Aβ42水平而非清除淀粉样斑块。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A recent study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati, led by Dr. Alberto Espay, challenges the common idea that monoclonal-antibodies (单克隆抗体) help slow down memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients by removing amyloid- plaques (淀粉样斑块).(辛辛那提大学的研究人员最近在Alberto Espay博士的带领下进行的一项研究挑战了一个普遍的观点,即单克隆抗体通过清除淀粉样斑块有助于减缓阿尔茨海默病患者的记忆力衰退。)”可知,治疗阿尔茨海默病的普遍观点是清除淀粉样斑块。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Previous research from Dr. Espay’s group showed that Alzheimer’s symptoms appear when Aβ42 levels fall too low, not when plaque levels are high.(Espay博士团队之前的研究表明,当Aβ42水平过低时,阿尔茨海默病的症状就会出现,而不是当斑块水平高时。)”可知,Aβ42的减少可能导致阿尔茨海默病的症状。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“According to Dr. Espay, the formation of amyloid plaques may be the brain’s natural way of responding to stress, like changes in metabolism (代谢). He points out that many people get amyloid- plaques as they age but do not develop dementia (痴呆).(根据Espay博士的说法,淀粉样斑块的形成可能是大脑对压力的自然反应,比如代谢变化。他指出,许多人随着年龄的增长会出现淀粉样斑块,但不会发展成痴呆症。)”可知,淀粉样斑块可能是大脑的一种保护性反应。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He suggests focusing on treatments that raise Aβ42 directly, without targeting amyloid plaques.(他建议专注于直接提高Aβ42水平的治疗方法,而不是针对淀粉样斑块。)”可知,Espay博士会同意治疗应专注于提高Aβ42水平。故选A。

It’s okay to take a break. When you first start working out, it can be tough. I was getting all sorts of aches and pains when I first started, and I often denied myself rest days because I felt like I always had to work out at the highest intensity. Please remember to take a break. Your body needs to reset. ___20___
Sticking to a workout routine can be difficult but if you follow some of these tips, you may find that you’re able to work out more consistently.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了茶包使用的历史以及使用茶包的注意事项。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:茶包是一个小的,多孔的包,里面含有干燥的植物材料,当浸泡在热水中时,有助于泡茶。此处修饰名词material,需用形容词dried“干燥的”,作定语。故填dried。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:茶包一般是用滤纸做的。此处修饰动词短语are made of,需用副词generally“一般”,作状语。故填generally。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通常每个茶包上都有一根小绳子,上面有一个纸标签。string为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且small发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:茶包的使用始于8世纪的唐朝。根据时间状语“since the 8th century”可知,应用现在完成时,主语Tea bags和use为被动关系,应用被动语态,主语为复数名词,助动词用have。故填have been used。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在那个时代,人们把纸折叠缝制成方形的袋子,这样可以长期保存茶叶的味道,为现代茶包奠定了基础。分析句子可知,空处需填非谓语动词作状语,lay和前面的句子为逻辑主谓关系,应用现在分词形式。故填laying。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:然而,在商业上,茶包在1908年左右出现,当时咖啡进口商托马斯·沙利文(Thomas Sullivan)将他的丝绸茶包运往世界各地。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是1908,关系词在定语从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些茶包在使用前应该被撕开,然后将其松散的内容倒入热水中泡茶。be supposed to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“应该做某事”,Those tea bags和tear为被动关系,应用动词不定式的被动语态。故填to be torn。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,人们发现茶叶还包在袋子里泡茶更方便。表示“用”应用介词with。故填with。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由于将茶包浸入水中似乎不会引起任何味道的变化,人们逐渐放弃了将茶包取出的做法,而开始直接将茶包浸入热水中。介词of后面需接动名词,作宾语。故填removing。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:这样做的结果是,饮料变得太苦了,或者像一些人所说的“太浓了”。空处表示“像”应用as引导方式状语从句。故填as。

One possible version:
Recent years have witnessed an unlimited number of applications of AI, which are being applied to a variety of fields. Despite its great advantages, I am in favor of the opinion that it brings concerns and fears.
First and foremost, the issue of employment for quantities of workers will arise. AI is capable of completing various jobs and make people unemployed.

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。
I was doing a big clean-up recently and my kids were helping when my son, Freddo, came across a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. “Mom, can I have this? Can I play with this coin?” he asked. I took one look and was immediately transported to another time.
In 1991, there was a time when my friend and I worked in an African country, Niger, hit by sandstorms and burning heat. There were many things I found difficult about this place---the climate and beggars were my biggest headaches. So after finishing five months of nursing work there, we moved on to work at a health clinic in a neighboring country, Burkina Faso. “It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better,” the locals assured us.
Yet the fact was quite the opposite. Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. I was reaching for my larger piece of luggage when, out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of them grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the pair were out of sight, swallowed up by the night.
With my passport, money, traveler's checks all in the bag, I was in deep trouble. How frustrating! All I wanted was to leave this place! Then, walking through Burkina's streets one day, I was stopped by an old woman who thrust(猛推)her hand in my face. “Cadeau(‘gift’ in French)! Cadeau!” she cried. I'd had enough! I was extremely tired of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, the dust and... everything! I told her angrily and firmly in French, “I have no ‘cadeau’. I have no money. A thief stole all my money two weeks ago and now I can’t get out of your country. I cannot give you anything. NOTHING!” The beggar woman listened attentively. To my great surprise, after hearing my words, she gave a broad smile.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
She reached into the pocket of her dress.

【答案】参考范文
She reached into the pocket of her dress. “Then I will give you a cadeau,” she announced. Kindly, she placed an old, dark brown coin in my hand. In surprise, I looked at the coin, then at the woman. At that moment, I felt rather ashamed, ashamed of my terrible attitude toward the old woman. In spite of her poverty, she was able to give me something priceless. I had taken it for granted that beggars would only receive something from others, yet the coin from the beggar woman in Burkina truly changed my view toward them, and her smile hit the deepest of my heart.
There was a slight touch on my hand; looking down, I saw my son looking at me, curious. “Mom, can I have this? Car I play with this coin?” he repeated. “You can't play with it, honey,” I touched my son on the head and said slowly. “This one is special. It is an unforgettable precious memory to me. Come and let me tell you a story.”
