第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
How often do you walk around the campus instead of getting straight onto the shuttle bus? The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative.
Programme
Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”.
Participation
To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points (and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/ unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded.
Walking Journey Points
Important Notes
Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.
A maximum of six points will be awarded each day.
Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today!
1. Where does “Walk for Green” start?
A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. LWS Building. D. MTR Station.
2. What are participants required to do?
A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Complete a round trip.
C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Choose a pre-set route.
3. How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6.

A grandmother cooks chicken. A group of kids, ages 8 to 14, watch her make the dish. This cooking class is part of a “Summer Camp” in Southern California. At this camp, grandmas are in charge. Each week, they teach young campers how to cook a new dish and do crafts.
“Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab, who works at Olive Community Services that brings older adults together and created the camp.
During the last week of the camp, a 9-year-old Janna learned how to use a sewing machine and make pockets. The camper had pressed hard on the machine’s pedal, making the needle move quickly. “Slowly, slowly,” Rahim, a grandma teaching the sewing class, said to her. The girl smiled when she made it. Rahim said the camp is “filling a gap” for kids. Many schools don’t teach these skills like cooking and sewing.
Rahim also doesn’t get to spend much time with her grandchildren because they don’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” she said.
The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club started by a 14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact. She noticed that many students didn’t have the chance to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about challenges faced by senior adults, such as unfair treatment.
The club organizes monthly lunches at Leena’s school. They invite the seniors to the school and discuss topics where both groups can learn from each other. One of the most valuable lessons they’ve shared with her is to live in the moment, and this has taken on new meaning for Leena. “The people we have right now, they’re not going to be with us forever,” she said.
4. What can we know about the Summer Camp?
A. It is mainly about cooking. B. It offers jobs to teenagers.
C. It is held on a monthly basis. D. It is in the charge of the seniors.
5. What do the underlined words “filling a gap” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Providing engaging games. B. Offering nutritious meals.
C. Teaching practical techniques. D. Organizing interactive activities.
6. What did Rahim think of teaching the sewing class at the camp?
A. Refreshing. B. Fulfilling. C. Challenging. D. Pioneering.
7. What is the main purpose of the club?
A. To pass down traditional recipes. B. To ensure an inclusive atmosphere.
C. To improve elderly people’s welfare. D. To promote interaction between generations.
C
How old are your organs? The answer might not match your chronological (按时间顺序的) age — and a new research finds that an organ’s biological age might predict a person’s risk of diseases.
The research analyzed data from WhitehallⅡ, a long-running British study of aging that has followed over 10,000 British adults for over 35 years. Between 1997 and 1999, the Whitehall study took blood samples from participants when they were 45 to 69 years old.
The current study analyzed those blood samples as well as follow-up data for 6,235 Whitehall participants, by then aged 65 to 89. The researchers used the analysis to help measure the gap between a person’s age and the biological age of nine of their organs: heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, intestines and brain. Then they looked at follow-up data that showed the kinds of diseases participants developed as they aged over the next two decades.
The organs aged at different rates in different people, the researchers write — and those with “fast-aging” organs had an increased risk of 30 of the 45 age-related diseases studied.
Some of the associations linked faster aging organ to diseases in that organ;for example, those with accelerated (加快的) lung aging were likelier to develop respiratory (呼吸的) diseases. But in other cases, the link was not as direct. Faster aging of the kidneys, in particular, was linked to diseases of the kidneys and other organs, such as the liver and pancreas, and accelerated aging of multiple organs in the body increased kidney disease risk. “Surprisingly,” the researchers say, dementia (痴呆症) was not best predicted by accelerated brain aging, but rather by the immune system’s biological age.
The researchers say the study shows the promise of an organ-specific blood test, which is simpler than past methods. In a news release, lead author, Mika Kivimaki, says such tests could one day “advise whether a person needs to take better care of a particular organ, and potentially provide an early-warning signal that they may be at risk of a particular disease.”
8. What has the research revealed?
A. Organs fail naturally but differently as people age.
B. Faster organ aging predicts increased disease risks.
C. Healthy organs are a guarantee of one’s well-being.
D. Organ aging is the leading cause of its function loss.
9. What do you know about the study?
A. The organs were healthy.
B. The participants were long-lived.
C. The process was lengthy.
D. The results were yet to be proved.
10. What is the surprising outcome regarding dementia?
A. It is unavoidable as one ages.
B. Relevant predictions are quite accurate.
C. Science promises a cure for it.
D. Faster brain aging isn’t its direct cause.
11. In which way are the findings beneficial?
A. They can help prevent organ disease.
B. Any particular disease can be detected.
C. Organ-specific blood tests are simple.
D. Health of organs would be guaranteed.
D
For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries?
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers?
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries?
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ___16___ Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain.

Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful.

Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给短段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完 整的短文。
I’ve been very fond of classical music since I was a kid The soft piano melody or grand symphony always calms my nerves after a stressful school week.
My best friend Tom is totally different, he’s a big rock music fan, with loud electric guitars and heavy drums following him everywhere.
We’d never argued about music tastes before, but last Friday evening, things got heated.
We sat on the neighborhood park lawn, passing headphones back and forth. After Tom listened to my favorite Chopin nocturne (肖邦夜曲), he shrugged: “It’s okay, but way too slow, where’s the energy?”
I frowned, snatching the headphones back. “Energy? Your rock music is just noise! Singers shout like they’re in pain, and instruments hurt my ears,” I said sharply. Tom’s eyes widened, leaning forward with a raised voice: “You don’t get it! Rock is passion, saying how you feel freely! You’re stuck in an old-fashioned circle, scared to try new things!”
Angry, my cheeks burned. “Old-fashioned? Classical music has real artistry, not just screaming and hitting!” I stood up, kicking a pebble hard. Tom jumped up too, fists clenched: “How dare you disrespect what I love? You’re my best friend, I thought you’d understand!” Before I could reply, he turned and stormed off, backpack swinging. I yelled after him: “Fine! Don’t talk to me if you’re unreasonable!” But as he disappeared around the corner, a twinge of regret flickered, I quickly pushed it away, still angry.
For three days, we didn’t speak. We passed in the school hallway without a glance, and group chats went silent. I missed our jokes and after-school walks, but was too stubborn to apologize. Deep down, I knew I’d gone too far.
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。
I realized my mistake.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house.

Rahim also doesn’t get to spend much time with her grandchildren because they don’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” she said.
The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club started by a 14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact. She noticed that many students didn’t have the chance to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about challenges faced by senior adults, such as unfair treatment.
The club organizes monthly lunches at Leena’s school. They invite the seniors to the school and discuss topics where both groups can learn from each other. One of the most valuable lessons they’ve shared with her is to live in the moment, and this has taken on new meaning for Leena. “The people we have right now, they’re not going to be with us forever,” she said.
4. What can we know about the Summer Camp?
A. It is mainly about cooking. B. It offers jobs to teenagers.

How old are your organs? The answer might not match your chronological (按时间顺序的) age — and a new research finds that an organ’s biological age might predict a person’s risk of diseases.
The research analyzed data from WhitehallⅡ, a long-running British study of aging that has followed over 10,000 British adults for over 35 years. Between 1997 and 1999, the Whitehall study took blood samples from participants when they were 45 to 69 years old.
The current study analyzed those blood samples as well as follow-up data for 6,235 Whitehall participants, by then aged 65 to 89. The researchers used the analysis to help measure the gap between a person’s age and the biological age of nine of their organs: heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, intestines and brain. Then they looked at follow-up data that showed the kinds of diseases participants developed as they aged over the next two decades.
The organs aged at different rates in different people the researchers write — and those with “fast-aging” organs had an increased risk of 30 of the 45 age-related diseases studied.
Some of the associations linked faster aging organ to diseases in that organ;for example, those with accelerated (加快的) lung aging were likelier to develop respiratory (呼吸的) diseases. But in other cases, the link was not as direct. Faster aging of the kidneys, in particular, was linked to diseases of the kidneys and other organs, such as the liver and pancreas, and accelerated aging of multiple organs in the body increased kidney disease risk. “Surprisingly,” the researchers say, dementia (痴呆症) was not best predicted by accelerated brain aging, but rather by the immune system’s biological age.
The researchers say the study shows the promise of an organ-specific blood test, which is simpler than past methods. In a news release, lead author, Mika Kivimaki, says such tests could one day “advise whether a person needs to take better care of a particular organ, and potentially provide an early-warning signal that they may be at risk of a particular disease.”
8. What has the research revealed?
A. Organs fail naturally but differently as people age.
B. Faster organ aging predicts increased disease risks.
C. Healthy organs are a guarantee of one’s well-being.
D. Organ aging is the leading cause of its function loss.
9. What do you know about the study?
A. The organs were healthy.
B. The participants were long-lived.
C. The process was lengthy.
D. The results were yet to be proved.
10. What is the surprising outcome regarding dementia?
A. It is unavoidable as one ages.
B. Relevant predictions are quite accurate.
C. Science promises a cure for it.
D. Faster brain aging isn’t its direct cause.
11. In which way are the findings beneficial?
A. They can help prevent organ disease.
B. Any particular disease can be detected.
C. Organ-specific blood tests are simple.
D. Health of organs would be guaranteed.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究发现,器官的生物年龄与人的实际年龄可能存在显著差异,这可能预测一个人的疾病风险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The organs aged at different rates in different people, the researchers write — and those with “fast-aging” organs had an increased risk of 30 of the 45 age-related diseases studied.(研究人员写道,不同人的器官衰老速度不同,那些“快速衰老”器官的人在研究的45种与年龄相关的疾病中,有30种疾病的风险增加。)”可知,这项研究揭示了器官衰老速度加快预示着疾病风险增加。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The research analyzed data from WhitehallⅡ, a long-running British study of aging that has followed over 10,000 British adults for over 35 years.(这项研究分析了英国WhitehallⅡ长期追踪研究的数据,该研究对1万多名英国成年人进行了35年多的追踪研究。)”以及第三段“The current study analyzed those blood samples as well as follow-up data for 6,235 Whitehall participants, by then aged 65 to 89. The researchers used the analysis to help measure the gap between a person’s age and the biological age of nine of their organs: heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, intestines and brain. Then they looked at follow-up data that showed the kinds of diseases participants developed as they aged over the next two decades.(本次研究分析了6235名Whitehall研究参与者的血液样本及随访数据,这些参与者当时的年龄在65至89岁之间。研究人员通过该分析来衡量一个人的实际年龄与其九个器官(心脏、血管、肝脏、免疫系统、胰腺、肾脏、肺部、肠道和大脑)的生物年龄之间的差异。随后,他们查看了随访数据,这些数据显示了参与者在接下来二十年的衰老过程中患上的各类疾病。)”可推知,这项研究的过程很漫长。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中““Surprisingly,” the researchers say, dementia was not best predicted by accelerated brain aging, but rather by the immune system’s biological age.(研究人员说,令人惊讶的是,痴呆症并不是由大脑加速衰老预测的,而是由免疫系统的生物年龄预测的。)”可知,关于痴呆症,令人惊讶的结果是大脑衰老加快不是其直接原因。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In a news release, lead author, Mika Kivimaki, says such tests could one day “advise whether a person needs to take better care of a particular organ, and potentially provide an early-warning signal that they may be at risk of a particular disease”.(在一份新闻稿中,主要作者Mika Kivimaki说,这样的测试有一天可能会“建议一个人是否需要更好地照顾某个特定器官,并可能提供一个早期预警信号,表明他们可能患有某种特定疾病的风险。”)”可知,这些发现的好处是它们可以帮助预防器官疾病。故选A。
D
For some readers a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
12 What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries?
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers?
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries?
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象,分析了其原因,探讨了词典编纂者的未来,并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”(美国记者斯蒂芬·法特西斯在其著作《未删节本:现代词典的诱惑与威胁》中,记述了人类对搜索引擎长达十年的依赖所带来的变革:“无论是精良的释义还是粗劣的诠释,皆可一键获取。绝大多数人对此毫不在意,抑或无力辨别——专业研究、抓取数据、僵尸网站,凡是搜索所得皆照单全收。”)”可知,网络搜索的便捷性使人们只需点击一下就能获取定义,从而减少了对纸质词典的依赖。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language.(等我写完这本书时,已无法确定,人们还需要有血有肉的词典编纂者多久,来记录英语语言的发展进程)”可知,作者不确定现实中的词典编纂者还能被需要多久,由此可推知,现实生活中的词典编纂者的生存受到了威胁。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊,也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知,作者坚持使用纸质词典是因为它们提供了从屏幕中解脱出来的机会,是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容的天堂。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(我们无法断言人类仍需要实体词典。正如百科全书与地图册,其中最优秀的早已迁移至线上。事实上,多数搜索引擎的起点正是专家编纂的词典与百科全书。但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊,也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知,文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象,并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视,认为它们是无比珍贵的时光胶囊,是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一,A项“A Word in Favor of Dictionaries(为纸质词典正名)”概括了文章的主旨,适合作为标题。故选A项。

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ___16___ Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain.
When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” ___17___ Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths.
Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self-trust during uncertainty. They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. ___18___
Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful. It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. ___19___ Instead of recalling only average events, asking for “three things you were grateful for yesterday” directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within.
___20___ Savor them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. With gratitude comes self-trust, and with self-trust comes a life of resilience and meaning.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Are Life Skills Classes Necessary?
I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students.
Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges.
In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给短段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完 整的短文。
I’ve been very fond of classical music since I was a kid. The soft piano melody or grand symphony always calms my nerves after a stressful school week.
My best friend Tom is totally different, he’s a big rock music fan, with loud electric guitars and heavy drums following him everywhere.
We’d never argued about music tastes before, but last Friday evening, things got heated.
We sat on the neighborhood park lawn, passing headphones back and forth. After Tom listened to my favorite Chopin nocturne (肖邦夜曲), he shrugged: “It’s okay, but way too slow, where’s the energy?”
I frowned, snatching the headphones back. “Energy? Your rock music is just noise! Singers shout like they’re in pain, and instruments hurt my ears,” I said sharply. Tom’s eyes widened, leaning forward with a raised voice: “You don’t get it! Rock is passion, saying how you feel freely! You’re stuck in an old-fashioned circle, scared to try new things!”
Angry, my cheeks burned. “Old-fashioned? Classical music has real artistry, not just screaming and hitting!” I stood up, kicking a pebble hard. Tom jumped up too, fists clenched: “How dare you disrespect what I love? You’re my best friend, I thought you’d understand!” Before I could reply, he turned and stormed off, backpack swinging. I yelled after him: “Fine! Don’t talk to me if you’re unreasonable!” But as he disappeared around the corner, a twinge of regret flickered, I quickly pushed it away, still angry.
For three days, we didn’t speak. We passed in the school hallway without a glance, and group chats went silent. I missed our jokes and after-school walks, but was too stubborn to apologize. Deep down, I knew I’d gone too far.
注意:

(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I realized my mistake.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I realized my mistake. As I sat alone listening to Chopin that evening, his nocturne’s gentle flow reminded me of our friendship’s harmony. My harsh words echoed in my mind — calling rock “noise” was unfair. Music, like friendship, shouldn’t be judged by its volume but by the feelings it carries. Tom’s passion for rock mirrored my love for classics; neither deserved disrespect. Swallowing my pride, I grabbed my phone and typed, “Can we talk tomorrow? I owe you an apology.”
With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house. The door swung open, revealing Tom’s hesitant face. Before I could speak, he blurted, “I’m sorry too! I shouldn’t have stormed off.” Relief washed over me. “No, I was wrong to insult your music,” I admitted. He grinned, pulling out his headphones. “Wanna try my favorite rock song? I’ll explain why it moves me.” As the energetic chords filled my ears, I finally heard the passion he cherished — and understood that true friendship harmonizes different rhythms.
