Louis Braille created a system of raised dot letters that could be read with the hands. Though ignored at first, it became widely used in the 20th century, opening a new world of learning for the visually impaired. Braille was born in 1809 to a wealthy family, so he had a comfortable childhood. However, as a curious little boy, Braille entered his father’s shop when no one was around and played with the tools. When he tried to make a hole in the leather with an awl, the tool slipped and hurt his eye. This terrible injury led to an infection that spread to both eyes, blinding him by the age of five. Braille’s parents didn’t want their son’s fate to be held back by his disability. They knew how important it was to read and write. To help him, his father hammered nails (钉子) into the shapes of alphabet letters on wood. At age seven, Braille attended the local school as its only blind student. Later, he won a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth, where students could read books with raised letters. The inspiration for Braille’s invention came in 1821. Charles Barbier had created a “night writing” code for the French army to pass and carry out orders in the dark. Braille believed it could help the blind and adapted this dot-and-dash code into a phonetic system. He spent the next several years perfecting it, often working late at school and even during holidays at home. By age 15, he had created what we now know as braille writing. Braille died at the age of 43 in 1852, yet his invention remains a guiding light for the blind. Today, visually impaired children are increasingly learning through screens and audio programs, but neuroscientists argue that braille writing is essential for thinking and brain development. Studies have shown that when a blind person reads braille through touch, the visual center of their brain is activated. 4. How did Braille go blind as a child? A. He was born blind. B. He caught a serious eye disease. C. He suffered an eye infection due to an accident. D. He lost his eyesight while playing outdoors. 5. What inspired Braille’s invention? A. The special teaching methods at the local school. B. His father’s creative way of teaching letters. C. The raised letter books designed for the blind. D. A military communication code. 6. Why does the author mention the neuroscientists’ findings in the last paragraph? A. To show braille is outdated in the digital age. B. To introduce a new discovery in neuroscience. C. To emphasize the importance of Braille’s invention. D. To compare different ways of learning for the blind. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of the braille writing. B. The history of learning tools for the blind. C. The tragic life story of Louis Braille. D. The invention of braille and its lasting impact. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了路易斯·布莱叶发明盲文的背景、灵感来源、过程，以及盲文发明对盲人群体的深远影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When he tried to make a hole in the leather with an awl, the tool slipped and hurt his eye. This terrible injury led to an infection that spread to both eyes, blinding him by the age of five.(当他试图用锥子在皮革上扎孔时，工具滑了一下，伤到了他的眼睛。这可怕的伤口引发了感染，蔓延到了双眼，使他在五岁时失明)”可知，布莱叶是因为意外受伤引发眼部感染而失明的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The inspiration for Braille’s invention came in 1821. Charles Barbier had created a “night writing” code for the French army to pass and carry out orders in the dark.(布莱叶发明的灵感源于1821年。查尔斯·巴比耶为法国军队创造了一种“夜间文字”密码，供军队在黑暗中传递和执行命令)”可知，启发布莱叶发明盲文的是一种军事通信密码。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Braille died at the age of 43 in 1852, yet his invention remains a guiding light for the blind. Today, visually impaired children are increasingly learning through screens and audio programs, but neuroscientists argue that braille writing is essential for thinking and brain development.(布莱叶于1852年逝世，享年43岁，但他的发明仍然是盲人的指路明灯。如今，视障儿童越来越多地通过屏幕和音频程序学习，但神经科学家认为，盲文对思维和大脑发育至关重要)”可知，作者提及神经科学家的发现，是为了强调布莱叶发明的盲文的重要性，即便在数字时代依然不可或缺。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章1-2段介绍了盲文发明的背景，3-4段讲述了布莱叶发明盲文的过程和灵感来源，第5段阐述了盲文对盲人群体的持久影响。结合全文内容可知，文章主要围绕盲文的发明及其深远影响展开。故选D项。 C People have long brought plants into their homes for greenery and comfort. Their popularity rose sharply in nineteenth-century Europe and America as city residents sought natural relief within crowded urban environments. The recent pandemic caused another increase in interest as people spent more time inside. Scientific studies have suggested that indoor plants can improve mental health, reduce stress, and even lower sick leave rates among workers. Natural materials like wood are also linked to better wellbeing. However, new research presents a surprising contradiction: too much decorative nature indoors may actually harm mental health rather than help it. What, then, is the ideal dose (剂量) of indoor nature for our wellbeing? Past studies used inconsistent methods and failed to give clear answers. For a more precise measurement, researchers from Stanford University created a software tool called Nature View Potential. This tool calculates the visual dose of natural elements — such as plants, wood, and outdoor views — within any indoor space. Using this tool with advanced modeling, the team designed realistic virtual offices with different levels of natural elements. They assigned over 400 online participants to these digital rooms. After an initial survey, participants performed stressful tasks like counting backwards under misleading instructions to increase pressure. The results were clear. A visual nature dose of around 20% provided the strongest benefits for mental restoration and a sense of belonging. In contrast, rooms with 60% natural elements caused the highest stress levels, suggesting that too much nature can feel overwhelming. The study also found that people with a stronger personal connection to nature gained more from its presence indoors. A key limitation is the use of a virtual rather than real environment. Still, tools like this can help designers create healthier schools and offices by providing just the right visual dose of nature for people to thrive. 8. Why did houseplants become popular in the mid-19th century? A. Their health benefits were discovered. B. People in the city sought comfort from nature. C. New plant species were developed. D. A pandemic influenced their popularity. 9. What was the reason to develop the Nature View Potential tool? A. To disprove all previous studies. B. To measure the accurate amount of indoor nature. C. To design attractive virtual offices. D. To recommend the best plant types for homes. 10. What do the study’s findings show according to paragraph 5? A. 60% nature exposure brought the greatest mental benefits. B. 20% nature exposure increased the greatest stress. C. Those less connected to nature benefited more. D. Too high a level of indoor nature may lead to great stress. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the tool’s future? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了室内自然元素对心理健康的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“Their popularity rose sharply in nineteenth-century Europe and America as city residents sought natural relief within crowded urban environments.(在19世纪的欧洲和美国，随着城市居民在拥挤的城市环境中寻求自然的慰藉，室内植物的人气急剧上升)”可知，19世纪中期室内植物受欢迎是因为城市居民从自然中寻求安慰。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“For a more precise measurement, researchers from Stanford University created a software tool called Nature View Potential. This tool calculates the visual dose of natural elements — such as plants, wood, and outdoor views — within any indoor space.(为了更精确地测量，斯坦福大学的研究人员开发了一个名为“自然景观潜力”的软件工具。这个工具可以计算任何室内空间中自然元素的视觉剂量，比如植物、木材和户外景观)”可知，开发“自然景观潜力”工具是为了测量室内自然元素的准确数量。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段中“In contrast, rooms with 60% natural elements caused the highest stress levels, suggesting that too much nature can feel overwhelming.(相比之下，含有60%自然元素的房间造成的压力水平最高，这表明过多的自然会让人感到不堪重负)”可知，研究结果表明，室内自然元素水平过高可能会导致压力过大。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Still, tools like this can help designers create healthier schools and offices by providing just the right visual dose of nature for people to thrive.(尽管如此，这样的工具可以帮助设计师通过提供恰到好处的自然视觉剂量来创建更健康的学校和办公室，让人们茁壮成长)”可知，作者认为这样的工具可以帮助设计师创建更健康的学校和办公室，因此作者对这一工具的未来持支持态度。故选C。 D 2025 has been called as the year of artificial intelligence (AI) by toymakers in China. From interactive toys and AI-generated learning materials to personalized chatbot tutors, artificial intelligence is reshaping childhood. AI brings remarkable benefits to children’s growth. It offers learning experiences designed for each child, something once only available to the rich, effectively bridging the gap in regions short of qualified teachers and sufficient educational resources. Early tests have shown that AI can enhance children’s literacy and language-learning abilities. Additionally, AI upgrades entertainment forms: children are not only enthusiastic about popular AI videos but also eager to create their own works. Even classic toys are being redesigned with AI functions to attract young users. However, an AI-driven childhood is filled with hidden risks. AI tutors might give wrong information, and children could misuse AI to cheat on homework or make harmful fake videos to trouble others. More seriously, AI’s tendency to cater (迎合) to users’ preferences creates echo chambers — spaces where people see only views they agree with, which takes away children’s precious chances to learn new things and develop independent thinking. Later, children who grow up used to always-pleasing AI may become adults who cannot work well with others or understand the balance needed in relationships. Some basic counter-measures are urgent. Strict age limits on chatbots must be followed, and schools should conduct more in-class assessments to stop cheating. In the long run, schools should take the lead: while making good use of effective personalized AI tutoring, they must also redouble efforts to teach things that a robot can’t: to debate, to disagree and to get along with — perhaps even to appreciate — people who can’t please you as a chatbot. Moreover, schools should also strengthen their role as centres of discovery, letting children meet different ideas and people from various backgrounds to widen their views. AI shows undeniable potential to improve education and enrich entertainment. It may one day let every child live like a prince or princess. But the truly lucky ones may be those whose parents and teachers know when to turn it off. 12. What is one benefit of AI in children’s growth? A Narrowing the education gap in areas. B. Providing standardized learning experiences. C. Improving the literature ability of children. D. Ensuring all children’s access to the latest toys. 13. What do the underlined words “echo chambers” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Rooms where children have advanced learning equipment. B. Digital spaces where children can play safely. C. Spaces where people remove views they disagree with. D. Virtual classrooms where AI tutors teach. 14. What are schools advised to do in the long term? A. Replace teachers with AI tutors. B. Make full use of AI tutoring. C. Use AI systems to monitor children’s behavior at all times. D. Teach interpersonal skills and critical thinking that AI cannot. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. AI in Child Development: The Hidden Dangers B. AI Toys: The New Trend of the Year C. AI in Childhood: Opportunities and Challenges D. AI-Powered Play: Defining Childhood in the Digital Era 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人工智能在儿童成长中的机遇与挑战，并提出了应对措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“It offers learning experiences designed for each child, something once only available to the rich, effectively bridging the gap in regions short of qualified teachers and sufficient educational resources. Early tests have shown that AI can enhance children’s literacy and language-learning abilities.(它为每个孩子提供量身定制的学习体验，这种体验曾经只有富人才有机会享受，有效地弥合了缺乏合格教师和充足教育资源的地区的差距。早期测试表明，人工智能可以提高儿童的识字和语言学习能力)”可知，人工智能为每个孩子提供个性化学习体验，有效缩小了师资和教育资源匮乏地区的教育差距。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第三段“More seriously, AI’s tendency to cater (迎合) to users’ preferences creates echo chambers — spaces where people see only views they agree with, which takes away children’s precious chances to learn new things and develop independent thinking.(更为严重的是，人工智能迎合用户偏好的倾向创造了“echo chambers”——人们只看到自己认同的观点的空间，这剥夺了孩子们学习新事物和发展独立思考的宝贵机会)”可知，根据破折号后的解释可推测出，“echo chambers”指的是人们只看到自己认同的观点的空间，即人们去除自己不同意的观点的空间。选项C“Spaces where people remove views they disagree with.(人们去除自己不同意的观点的空间)”符合题意，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段“In the long run, schools should take the lead: while making good use of effective personalized AI tutoring, they must also redouble efforts to teach things that a robot can’t: to debate, to disagree and to get along with — perhaps even to appreciate — people who can’t please you as a chatbot.(从长远来看，学校应发挥带头作用：在充分利用有效的个性化人工智能辅导的同时，学校还必须加倍努力教授机器人无法教授的内容：辩论、表达不同意见以及与那些无法像聊天机器人那样取悦你的人相处——甚至欣赏他们)”可知，学校长期应教授人工智能无法替代的人际交往能力和批判性思维。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据最后一段“AI shows undeniable potential to improve education and enrich entertainment. It may one day let every child live like a prince or princess. But the truly lucky ones may be those whose parents and teachers know when to turn it off.(人工智能在改善教育和丰富娱乐方面展现出了不可否认潜力。或许有一天，每个孩子都能过上王子或公主般的生活。但真正幸运的可能是那些父母和老师知道何时关掉它的人)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了人工智能在儿童成长中的机遇与挑战，并提出了应对措施。选项C“AI in Childhood: Opportunities and Challenges(人工智能在童年：机遇与挑战)”适合作文章的标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making the Last Month of the Year Count As the year draws to a close, it’s hard to believe we are already in its final month.

It would be our first Christmas without our dad, who had lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t even want to think about Christmas — and surely, I didn’t want to celebrate. So when my mom called me eight days before Christmas, there was still no Christmas tree, no twinkling lights, no ornaments (装饰品), nothing. I was trying to forget that Christmas was here at all. My mom lives six hours away from us. Since I am the only child working from home, it fell on me to pick her up for Christmas with the family. When she asked if I’d decorated yet, my “no” clearly disappointed her. “You have your kids — don’t let them miss out because of grief (悲伤).” I am forty-two years old and still afraid of my mom — so, I put that tree up, picked up my mom and brought her home for Christmas. Yet even with the tree standing in the living room, I refused to feel any Christmas spirit. How could I? I’d watched Dad take his last breath half a year ago. The pain was still fresh — sharp enough to make me shut out the world. I just wanted to be left alone, buried in sorrow without others trying to “fix” it. I stepped back from my husband’s hug, turned from my kids, and barely spoke to Mom. I was so consumed by pain that I ignored everyone around me. Dad had always taught me love, faith, and everything about life. In his final days, he drifted between sleep and wakefulness. But the night before he passed, he’d woken up suddenly, his eyes clear, and sang “Peace in the Valley” in that deep, warm voice we had all loved. He smiled at us, as if trying to tell us he was okay — that we should be okay too. But I couldn’t. The hole he left was too big, and the loneliness too heavy. 注意：1. 续写词数应该为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Christmas finally arrived and Mom handed me a small box. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the ornament and the note, I finally understood. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Christmas finally arrived and Mom handed me a small box. With trembling hands, I slowly opened it. Inside lay a delicate Christmas ornament, shaped like a heart. Attached to it was a tiny note. My heart skipped a beat as I carefully unfolded the note, my eyes scanning the familiar handwriting — it was Dad’s. Tears welled up in my eyes as I read the words, “My dear, life may be tough without me, but remember, I’m always with you in spirit. Keep believing and loving.” Holding the ornament and the note, I finally understood. Dad had left me this precious gift to remind me that even though he was gone, his love and teachings would forever be a part of me. The pain and loneliness that had been consuming me began to fade away, replaced by a warm sense of comfort and strength. I looked around at my family, and for the first time since Dad’s passing, I felt a genuine smile spread across my face. This Christmas, though different, was still filled with love, and I knew Dad would be proud. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了由于父亲因癌症去世，作者对圣诞节毫无兴致，然而，在母亲的提醒和要求下，作为唯一在家工作的孩子，作者不得不承担起接母亲回家过圣诞的责任，并勉强布置了圣诞树。尽管如此，作者仍然无法感受到任何圣诞气氛，因为半年前目睹父亲离世的痛苦仍然难忘，让作者想要与世隔绝，沉浸在悲伤中。作者回避了家人的关爱，完全被痛苦所吞噬。文章还回忆了父亲在世时对作者的爱与教导，以及他临终前的情景，但作者仍然无法接受父亲离世的现实，感到孤独和沉重。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“圣诞节终于到来了，妈妈递给我一个小小的盒子。”可知，第一段可描写盒子里的东西和作者的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“拿着那个装饰品和那张纸条，我终于明白了。”可知，第二段可描写作者手握父亲留下的装饰品和便条后，内心产生的深刻感悟与情感转变。 2.续写线索：打开盒子——展开纸条——流泪——爸爸的提醒——作者不再痛苦——作者的转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展开：unfold/spread ②提醒：remind/prompt ③消失：fade away/wither away 情绪类 ①痛苦：pain/misery ②孤独：loneliness/solitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] My heart skipped a beat as I carefully unfolded the note, my eyes scanning the familiar handwriting — it was Dad’s.

Louis Braille created a system of raised dot letters that could be read with the hands. Though ignored at first, it became widely used in the 20th century, opening a new world of learning for the visually impaired. Braille was born in 1809 to a wealthy family, so he had a comfortable childhood. However, as a curious little boy, Braille entered his father’s shop when no one was around and played with the tools. When he tried to make a hole in the leather with an awl, the tool slipped and hurt his eye. This terrible injury led to an infection that spread to both eyes, blinding him by the age of five. Braille’s parents didn’t want their son’s fate to be held back by his disability. They knew how important it was to read and write. To help him, his father hammered nails (钉子) into the shapes of alphabet letters on wood. At age seven, Braille attended the local school as its only blind student. Later, he won a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth, where students could read books with raised letters. The inspiration for Braille’s invention came in 1821. Charles Barbier had created a “night writing” code for the French army to pass and carry out orders in the dark. Braille believed it could help the blind and adapted this dot-and-dash code into a phonetic system. He spent the next several years perfecting it, often working late at school and even during holidays at home. By age 15, he had created what we now know as braille writing. Braille died at the age of 43 in 1852, yet his invention remains a guiding light for the blind. Today, visually impaired children are increasingly learning through screens and audio programs, but neuroscientists argue that braille writing is essential for thinking and brain development. Studies have shown that when a blind person reads braille through touch, the visual center of their brain is activated. 4. How did Braille go blind as a child? A. He was born blind. B. He caught a serious eye disease. C. He suffered an eye infection due to an accident. D. He lost his eyesight while playing outdoors. 5. What inspired Braille’s invention? A. The special teaching methods at the local school. B. His father’s creative way of teaching letters. C. The raised letter books designed for the blind. D. A military communication code. 6. Why does the author mention the neuroscientists’ findings in the last paragraph? A. To show braille is outdated in the digital age. B. To introduce a new discovery in neuroscience. C. To emphasize the importance of Braille’s invention. D. To compare different ways of learning for the blind. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of the braille writing. B. The history of learning tools for the blind. C. The tragic life story of Louis Braille. D. The invention of braille and its lasting impact. C People have long brought plants into their homes for greenery and comfort. Their popularity rose sharply in nineteenth-century Europe and America as city residents sought natural relief within crowded urban environments. The recent pandemic caused another increase in interest as people spent more time inside. Scientific studies have suggested that indoor plants can improve mental health, reduce stress, and even lower sick leave rates among workers. Natural materials like wood are also linked to better wellbeing. However, new research presents a surprising contradiction: too much decorative nature indoors may actually harm mental health rather than help it. What, then, is the ideal dose (剂量) of indoor nature for our wellbeing? Past studies used inconsistent methods and failed to give clear answers. For a more precise measurement, researchers from Stanford University created a software tool called Nature View Potential. This tool calculates the visual dose of natural elements — such as plants, wood, and outdoor views — within any indoor space. Using this tool with advanced modeling, the team designed realistic virtual offices with different levels of natural elements. They assigned over 400 online participants to these digital rooms. After an initial survey, participants performed stressful tasks like counting backwards under misleading instructions to increase pressure. The results were clear. A visual nature dose of around 20% provided the strongest benefits for mental restoration and a sense of belonging. In contrast, rooms with 60% natural elements caused the highest stress levels, suggesting that too much nature can feel overwhelming. The study also found that people with a stronger personal connection to nature gained more from its presence indoors. A key limitation is the use of a virtual rather than real environment. Still, tools like this can help designers create healthier schools and offices by providing just the right visual dose of nature for people to thrive. 8. Why did houseplants become popular in the mid-19th century? A. Their health benefits were discovered. B. People in the city sought comfort from nature. C. New plant species were developed. D. A pandemic influenced their popularity. 9. What was the reason to develop the Nature View Potential tool? A. To disprove all previous studies. B To measure the accurate amount of indoor nature. C. To design attractive virtual offices. D. To recommend the best plant types for homes. 10. What do the study’s findings show according to paragraph 5? A. 60% nature exposure brought the greatest mental benefits. B. 20% nature exposure increased the greatest stress. C. Those less connected to nature benefited more. D. Too high a level of indoor nature may lead to great stress. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the tool’s future? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. D 2025 has been called as the year of artificial intelligence (AI) by toymakers in China. From interactive toys and AI-generated learning materials to personalized chatbot tutors, artificial intelligence is reshaping childhood. AI brings remarkable benefits to children’s growth. It offers learning experiences designed for each child, something once only available to the rich, effectively bridging the gap in regions short of qualified teachers and sufficient educational resources. Early tests have shown that AI can enhance children’s literacy and language-learning abilities. Additionally, AI upgrades entertainment forms: children are not only enthusiastic about popular AI videos but also eager to create their own works. Even classic toys are being redesigned with AI functions to attract young users. However, an AI-driven childhood is filled with hidden risks. AI tutors might give wrong information, and children could misuse AI to cheat on homework or make harmful fake videos to trouble others. More seriously, AI’s tendency to cater (迎合) to users’ preferences creates echo chambers — spaces where people see only views they agree with, which takes away children’s precious chances to learn new things and develop independent thinking. Later, children who grow up used to always-pleasing AI may become adults who cannot work well with others or understand the balance needed in relationships. Some basic counter-measures are urgent. Strict age limits on chatbots must be followed, and schools should conduct more in-class assessments to stop cheating. In the long run, schools should take the lead: while making good use of effective personalized AI tutoring, they must also redouble efforts to teach things that a robot can’t: to debate, to disagree and to get along with — perhaps even to appreciate — people who can’t please you as a chatbot.

It would be our first Christmas without our dad, who had lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t even want to think about Christmas — and surely, I didn’t want to celebrate. So when my mom called me eight days before Christmas, there was still no Christmas tree, no twinkling lights, no ornaments (装饰品), nothing. I was trying to forget that Christmas was here at all. My mom lives six hours away from us. Since I am the only child working from home, it fell on me to pick her up for Christmas with the family. When she asked if I’d decorated yet, my “no” clearly disappointed her. “You have your kids — don’t let them miss out because of grief (悲伤).” I am forty-two years old and still afraid of my mom — so, I put that tree up, picked up my mom and brought her home for Christmas. Yet even with the tree standing in the living room, I refused to feel any Christmas spirit. How could I? I’d watched Dad take his last breath half a year ago. The pain was still fresh — sharp enough to make me shut out the world. I just wanted to be left alone, buried in sorrow without others trying to “fix” it. I stepped back from my husband’s hug, turned from my kids, and barely spoke to Mom. I was so consumed by pain that I ignored everyone around me. Dad had always taught me love, faith, and everything about life. In his final days, he drifted between sleep and wakefulness. But the night before he passed, he’d woken up suddenly, his eyes clear, and sang “Peace in the Valley” in that deep, warm voice we had all loved. He smiled at us, as if trying to tell us he was okay — that we should be okay too. But I couldn’t. The hole he left was too big, and the loneliness too heavy. 注意：1. 续写词数应该为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Christmas finally arrived and Mom handed me a small box. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the ornament and the note, I finally understood. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
