My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”
4. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
5. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii?
A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests.
C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities.
6. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family?
A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land.
C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins.
7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii?
A. The wise improve what they enjoy.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C
When we think about high school’s lasting impact, we often focus on grade point averages, extracurricular activities, and close friendships. But according to a new study, the influence of high school stretches far beyond the teenage years and into our very bodies.
The study tracked a nationally representative sample of individuals who were high school sophomores (二年级的) and seniors in 1980. Researchers followed these participants into their early 50s and found strong links between high school experience and midlife body mass index (BMI). This relationship held even when accounting for college education, academic attainment, and weight during high school itself.
This research argues that high schools are more than institutions of learning — they are health shapers. For decades, we’ve known that educational attainment is linked to health outcomes, including weight. But this study pushes the timeline back, suggesting that the process of becoming educated — especially the early stages that happen in high school — is just as crucial.
So, what parts of high school matter? It turns out that attending private schools, being in high socioeconomic status (High-SES) environments, and enrolling in advanced curricular tracks were associated with lower midlife BMI, especially for women. These factors weren’t just minor contributors; they maintained their influence even after researchers controlled for a host of variables like college degrees and adult income.
Interestingly, popularity during high school also played a role for women. In a society where women and girls face heightened pressure around body image, early social acceptance may help establish healthier long-term habits and body ideals.
The gender differences in this study are striking. For women, both family and school SES, along with popularity, were significantly linked to adult weight. For men, the connection existed but was less pronounced. One possible reason? The cultural landscape. Girls and women often deal with more pressure to be thin and face harsher judgment about their weight than boys and men. These pressures likely strengthen how high school experiences — both academic and social — shape long-term behaviors and self-perceptions.
8. What does the study mainly reveal about high schools?
A. They predict academic success. B. They foster social relationships.
C. They determine career achievements. D. They shape long-term physical health.
9. Which factor relates to lower adult BMI for women?
A. Adult income status. B. High school popularity.
C. College degree level. D. High school sports activities.
10. Why do gender differences exist in findings?
A. Social expectations. B. Economic policies.
C. Educational resources. D. Biological distinctions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Gender Differences in Educational Environments
B. The Link Between School Grades and Adult Success
C. High School’s Long-Term Impact on Physical Health
D. The Role of Social Activities in adolescent Development
D
Quick: what’s your best friend’s phone number? Don’t feel bad if you couldn’t answer off the top of your head. You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.
“Prosthetic memory” (人工记忆) is nothing new. Writing itself has been a means of storing information. Yet the information revolution has generated more data than ever before. We are flooded with information. We’re creating more of it, and keeping more of it. The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.
Not everyone thinks this trend in external memory is good. Historically, memory prostheses were expensive. As technologies such as printing and photography become more affordable, sharing experiences with others is easier than ever. So every breakfast, every sunset, every encounter with a cat finds its way on to social media. And here comes the worry. When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.
But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad? If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. That’s just a short blink (眨眼) in human history, yet it has totally changed how we live. I suspect we’re not far off from being directly faced with experience yet with the ability to share experience in ways less bounded by geography and time. After all, technology can protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. Technology weakens our brains. B. We are burdened with phone numbers.
C. We rely more on tools to memorize. D. Technology distances us from our friends.
13. What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improved. B. Undervalued. C. Restricted. D. Outperformed.
14. What negative effect does online sharing bring about?
A. An overflow of posts. B. High cost of digital devices.
C. Addiction to the virtual world. D. Disregard for authentic experience.
15. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. Have faith in human brains. B. Take time to adapt to digital age.
C. Quicken the pace of development. D. Make efforts to enhance memory.

Nearly 100 bookworms (书迷) walked through the U.S. national Arboretum on Aug. 24, among the sounds of dogs barking, feet marching and police sirens (警笛声) ringing out from a distance. Many walkers didn’t care about those sounds. ____16____ This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C., a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.
Since starting in march, Book It Around D.C. has grown, bringing together audiobook listeners who said they felt happier or safer in a group. They also said it not only was a pleasure in reading but also brought them a sense of belonging — even if they didn’t talk to each other. “____17____” said Bailey, who listened to “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick.
____18____ This is especially true because a recent study showed that fewer Americans than before read for pleasure. In addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country. Many readers have found communities on social media, where some of Book It Around D.C.’s members discovered the group through Instagram.
On the morning of Aug. 24, Kit Ballenger, a librarian who lives in Montgomery County, set up a foldable table in a parking lot in the southern part of the National Arboretum. ____19____ They each wrote their first name and current audiobook on a white sticker they stuck to the front of their shirts.
The group began walking a few minutes later — some quickly, others slowly — while many walkers opened audiobook apps on their phones. Some walkers used the roughly 90-minute outing to make friends, chatting about their jobs, their favorite books and their go-to grocery stores. ____20____ After a quiet walk, the lawn filled with chatter (闲聊).
A. Books are just like our close friends.
B. They were trying to focus on exercise itself.
C. Bookworms say they are seeking like-minded people.
D. People of all ages carried head phones as they approached the table.
E. This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward.
F. The walkers passed trees, paths and gardens, many stopping to take pictures.
G. Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones.

My political career in the Student Union(SU)began by throwing frisbees (飞盘) on the campus lawn. I would throw a frisbee to someone I didn’t know and they would throw it to someone they didn’t know. Before long, we had built a community of people who met every day at lunch to throw frisbees.
Besides frisbees, the group decided to climb the mountain near our campus. When we reached the peak, it felt like we were at summer camp. We laughed, danced and told jokes.It was totally fun. While playing like little children in the cool mountain air, we all decided to do it again the following week. Our motto (座右铭) was “Bring a Friend” . We started out with a small group of hikers. But as the word spread, the number of participants increased.We made it a rule to climb the mountain every weekend. All of us were passionate about the fantastic experience, which we were looking forward to.
One day on campus, I decided to throw my frisbee to some strangers, run over and invite them to climb the mountain. Much to my surprise, a girl sitting in a wheelchair got hold of it. Her name was Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain.She said she hadn’t. Holding the wheelchair tightly, she hung down her head in awkward silence. Then she told me that she had suffered from lung disease when she was young and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day. So, it was impossible for her to move without help. Fortunately, things got better.
With continuous efforts and treatment, she managed to live on her own with the assistance of the wheelchair: I told her that my friends and I would carry her if she were up for it. On hearing what I said, she refused without hesitation, adding that it would be a bother to carry her. But I tried my best to persuade her to come along with us by talking about the interesting experiences.
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。
Having thought for a while, Grace still refused my offer.

My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”
4. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
5. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii?
A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests.
C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities.
6. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family?
A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land.
C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins.
7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii?
A. The wise improve what they enjoy.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A

C
When we think about high school’s lasting impact, we often focus on grade point averages, extracurricular activities, and close friendships. But according to a new study, the influence of high school stretches far beyond the teenage years and into our very bodies.
The study tracked a nationally representative sample of individuals who were high school sophomores (二年级的) and seniors in 1980. Researchers followed these participants into their early 50s and found strong links between high school experience and midlife body mass index (BMI). This relationship held even when accounting for college education, academic attainment, and weight during high school itself.
This research argues that high schools are more than institutions of learning — they are health shapers. For decades, we’ve known that educational attainment is linked to health outcomes, including weight. But this study pushes the timeline back, suggesting that the process of becoming educated — especially the early stages that happen in high school — is just as crucial.
So, what parts of high school matter? It turns out that attending private schools, being in high socioeconomic status (High-SES) environments, and enrolling in advanced curricular tracks were associated with lower midlife BMI, especially for women. These factors weren’t just minor contributors; they maintained their influence even after researchers controlled for a host of variables like college degrees and adult income.
Interestingly, popularity during high school also played a role for women. In a society where women and girls face heightened pressure around body image, early social acceptance may help establish healthier long-term habits and body ideals.
The gender differences in this study are striking. For women, both family and school SES, along with popularity, were significantly linked to adult weight. For men, the connection existed but was less pronounced. One possible reason? The cultural landscape. Girls and women often deal with more pressure to be thin and face harsher judgment about their weight than boys and men. These pressures likely strengthen how high school experiences — both academic and social — shape long-term behaviors and self-perceptions.
8. What does the study mainly reveal about high schools?
A. They predict academic success. B. They foster social relationships.
C. They determine career achievements. D. They shape long-term physical health.
9. Which factor relates to lower adult BMI for women?
A. Adult income status. B. High school popularity.
C. College degree level. D. High school sports activities.
10. Why do gender differences exist in findings?
A. Social expectations. B. Economic policies.
C. Educational resources. D. Biological distinctions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Gender Differences in Educational Environments
B. The Link Between School Grades and Adult Success
C. High School’s Long-Term Impact on Physical Health
D. The Role of Social Activities in adolescent Development
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究,该研究揭示了高中经历对中年身体质量指数(BMI)的长期影响,强调了高中不仅是学习场所,还是健康塑造的重要阶段。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This research argues that high schools are more than institutions of learning — they are health shapers. For decades, we’ve known that educational attainment is linked to health outcomes, including weight. But this study pushes the timeline back, suggesting that the process of becoming educated — especially the early stages that happen in high school — is just as crucial. (这项研究认为,高中不仅仅是学习机构,它们还是健康的塑造者。几十年来,我们已经知道教育程度与健康结果有关,包括体重。但这项研究将时间线退回,表明接受教育的过程,尤其是发生在高中的早期阶段,同样至关重要)”可知,这项研究主要揭示了高中对长期身体健康的影响。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“It turns out that attending private schools, being in high socioeconomic status (High-SES) environments, and enrolling in advanced curricular tracks were associated with lower midlife BMI, especially for women.(结果是就读私立学校、处于高社会经济地位环境以及参加进阶课程,与中年时期较低的体重指数(尤其在女性中)存在关联)”和第五段“Interestingly, popularity during high school also played a role for women. In a society where women and girls face heightened pressure around body image, early social acceptance may help establish healthier long-term habits and body ideals. (有趣的是,高中时期的受欢迎程度对女性也会产生影响。在一个女性和女孩面临更严苛身材压力的社会里,早期的社会认同或许有助于建立更健康的长期习惯与身体审美观念)”可知,对女性来说,高中时期的受欢迎程度也与成年后较低的BMI有关。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The gender differences in this study are striking. For women, both family and school SES, along with popularity, were significantly linked to adult weight. For men, the connection existed but was less pronounced. One possible reason? The cultural landscape. Girls and women often deal with more pressure to be thin and face harsher judgment about their weight than boys and men. These pressures likely strengthen how high school experiences — both academic and social — shape long-term behaviors and self-perceptions. (这项研究揭示的性别差异令人瞩目。对女性而言,家庭与学校的社会经济地位以及受欢迎程度,均与成年体重显著相关;男性虽也存在这种关联,却远不如女性明显。潜在原因何在?文化环境使然。相较于男性,女性往往承受着更严苛的瘦身压力与体重评判,这种社会压力很可能强化了高中阶段学业与社交经历对长期行为模式及自我认知的塑造作用)”可知,研究发现中存在性别差异是因为社会期望,女孩和女性往往面临更大的减肥压力和更严苛的评判。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“This research argues that high schools are more than institutions of learning — they are health shapers. For decades, we’ve known that educational attainment is linked to health outcomes, including weight. But this study pushes the timeline back, suggesting that the process of becoming educated — especially the early stages that happen in high school — is just as crucial. (这项研究认为,高中不仅仅是学习机构,它们还是健康的塑造者。几十年来,我们已经知道教育程度与健康结果有关,包括体重。但这项研究将时间线提前,表明接受教育的过程,尤其是发生在高中的早期阶段,同样至关重要)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项新的研究,该研究揭示了高中经历对中年身体质量指数(BMI)的长期影响,强调了高中不仅是学习场所,还是健康塑造的重要阶段。故C项“High School’s Long-Term Impact on Physical Health (高中对身体健康的长期影响)”能够概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
D
Quick: what’s your best friend’s phone number? Don’t feel bad if you couldn’t answer off the top of your head. You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.
“Prosthetic memory” (人工记忆) is nothing new. Writing itself has been a means of storing information. Yet the information revolution has generated more data than ever before. We are flooded with information. We’re creating more of it, and keeping more of it. The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.
Not everyone thinks this trend in external memory is good. Historically, memory prostheses were expensive. As technologies such as printing and photography become more affordable, sharing experiences with others is easier than ever. So every breakfast, every sunset, every encounter with a cat finds its way on to social media. And here comes the worry. When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.
But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad? If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. That’s just a short blink (眨眼) in human history, yet it has totally changed how we live. I suspect we’re not far off from being directly faced with experience yet with the ability to share experience in ways less bounded by geography and time. After all, technology can protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. Technology weakens our brains. B. We are burdened with phone numbers.
C. We rely more on tools to memorize. D. Technology distances us from our friends.
13. What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improved. B. Undervalued. C. Restricted. D. Outperformed.
14. What negative effect does online sharing bring about?
A. An overflow of posts. B. High cost of digital devices.
C. Addiction to the virtual world. D. Disregard for authentic experience.
15. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. Have faith in human brains. B. Take time to adapt to digital age.
C. Quicken the pace of development. D. Make efforts to enhance memory.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍人们依赖手机等人工记忆工具,有人担忧社交媒体分享让人们忽视真实生活,但作者认为无需全盘否定,科技也能留存珍贵时刻。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.(你没有理由把电话号码记在记忆里:它就在你的手机里。或者你曾经有一个电话簿来存储它们。在任何一种情况下,一个物体为你做记忆。)”推知,我们更多地依赖工具进行记忆。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.(人类大脑的存储能力从此eclipsed。因此,从图书馆到智能手机,我们越来越依赖人工记忆也就不足为奇了。)”可知,我们越来越依靠人工记忆,其原因是我们大脑的储存能力已经被超越,人工记忆可以记得更多。由此猜测,划线词eclipsed意为“超越”的意思,与outperformed同义。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.(当我们执着于以这种方式捕捉并分享世界时,某种极具价值的东西便会悄然流失;我们记录了生活中太多片段,却忘了真正去体验生活,也因此与当下的感受渐行渐远。)”可知,网上分享带来的负面影响是对真实体验的忽视。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad? If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. (但这种由社交媒体驱动的转变就完全是坏事吗?倘若我们如今依然还在用这种方式创造并分享回忆,或许是因为我们尚未有足够时间,学会自然而然地去做这些事(而无需刻意盘算)。我们很容易忽略,大众社交媒体时代至今还不到十年。)”可知,大规模社交媒体时代时间不算太久,且人们还没有做到自然而然地去创造和分享回忆。由此推知,作者建议人们花时间去适应数字时代。故选B。

Nearly 100 bookworms (书迷) walked through the U.S. national Arboretum on Aug. 24, among the sounds of dogs barking, feet marching and police sirens (警笛声) ringing out from a distance. Many walkers didn’t care about those sounds. ____16____ This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C., a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.
Since starting in march, Book It Around D.C. has grown, bringing together audiobook listeners who said they felt happier or safer in a group. They also said it not only was a pleasure in reading but also brought them a sense of belonging — even if they didn’t talk to each other. “____17____” said Bailey, who listened to “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick.
____18____ This is especially true because a recent study showed that fewer Americans than before read for pleasure. In addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country. Many readers have found communities on social media, where some of Book It Around D.C.’s members discovered the group through Instagram.
On the morning of Aug. 24, Kit Ballenger, a librarian who lives in Montgomery County, set up a foldable table in a parking lot in the southern part of the National Arboretum. ____19____ They each wrote their first name and current audiobook on a white sticker they stuck to the front of their shirts.
The group began walking a few minutes later — some quickly, others slowly — while many walkers opened audiobook apps on their phones. Some walkers used the roughly 90-minute outing to make friends, chatting about their jobs, their favorite books and their go-to grocery stores. ____20____ After a quiet walk, the lawn filled with chatter (闲聊).
A. Books are just like our close friends.
B. They were trying to focus on exercise itself.
C. Bookworms say they are seeking like-minded people.
D. People of all ages carried head phones as they approached the table.
E. This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward.
F. The walkers passed trees, paths and gardens, many stopping to take pictures.
G. Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. D 20. F
【解析】

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。
My political career in the Student Union(SU)began by throwing frisbees (飞盘) on the campus lawn. I would throw a frisbee to someone I didn’t know and they would throw it to someone they didn’t know. Before long, we had built a community of people who met every day at lunch to throw frisbees.
Besides frisbees, the group decided to climb the mountain near our campus. When we reached the peak, it felt like we were at summer camp. We laughed, danced and told jokes.It was totally fun. While playing like little children in the cool mountain air, we all decided to do it again the following week. Our motto (座右铭) was “Bring a Friend” . We started out with a small group of hikers. But as the word spread, the number of participants increased.We made it a rule to climb the mountain every weekend. All of us were passionate about the fantastic experience, which we were looking forward to.
One day on campus, I decided to throw my frisbee to some strangers, run over and invite them to climb the mountain. Much to my surprise, a girl sitting in a wheelchair got hold of it. Her name was Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain.She said she hadn’t. Holding the wheelchair tightly, she hung down her head in awkward silence. Then she told me that she had suffered from lung disease when she was young and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day. So, it was impossible for her to move without help. Fortunately, things got better.
With continuous efforts and treatment, she managed to live on her own with the assistance of the wheelchair: I told her that my friends and I would carry her if she were up for it. On hearing what I said, she refused without hesitation, adding that it would be a bother to carry her. But I tried my best to persuade her to come along with us by talking about the interesting experiences.
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。
Having thought for a while, Grace still refused my offer.

On the downhilt path, Grace asked me why not run for the SU election.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Having thought for a while, Grace still refused my offer. Looking at her depressed and embarrassed expression, I didn’t want to quit persuading her. I showed her some pictures that were taken during our trip. She smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Ultimately, I made it. On that appointed day, I, together with several friends, offered continuous assistance to her. With our joint efforts, we made it to the top of the mountain and admired the fantastic scenery. A sense of excitement took hold of her, tears rolling down her cheeks like broken pearls. She was so grateful to us and we became close friends.
On the downhill path, Grace asked me why not run for the SU election. However, I didn’t have enough courage to run for it. Knowing I was in a dilemma, Grace had a sincere communication with me. “So kind and friendly are you that you helped me to enjoy the beautiful scenery and plan the weekend activity carefully. I am firmly convinced that you are capable of the work in the SU,” she said in a gentle voice. Inspired by her encouragement, I made a resolution to have a try. Having made full preparations, I was chosen chairman of the SU, which was beyond my expectations. Indeed, it is the mutual trust and help between friends that do make a great difference to us.
