Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder (残骸) of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.
Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline. Now, the 28-year-old is one of more than 200,000 Dallasites using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make their everyday commute (通勤).
In order to cut costs, Colorado, a software developer, sold his car. When he owned a car, Colorado said he spent around $450 a month on payments and insurance alone. On top of that, he paid for gas, maintenance, and more — making his car expenses well above twice the amount he pays without one, he said.
In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado. But no matter how DART develops, riding public transportation takes some amount of pre-planning based on bus and train schedules, Colorado said. His advice for new riders is: “Don’t give up when things get difficult.”
Riding DART is more environmentally conscious, too, Hunter said, and she regularly runs into several of her neighbors while on transit.
For Hunter, living without a car gives her peace from the stress of traffic and has helped her mental stability.
“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home.” Hunter said.
Colorado said he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new.
“You learn to see, appreciate, and soak in the value of taking a little time,” Colorado said. “It’s more about the journey than the destination. I think there’s a philosophy to it that you start to learn.”
4. What made Hunter use public transport earlier than planned?
A. A serious car crash.
B. Her move to downtown Dallas.
C. Her graduation from university.
D. The high cost of car maintenance.
5. What can be learned about DART from the text?
A. It advocates a low-carbon transportation.
B. It’s the primary cause of reduced car ownership.
C. It has flexible schedules tailored for its users.
D. It has been improved to better serve its users.
6. What do both Hunter and Colorado appreciate about their new lifestyle?
A. The chance to make more friends.
B. The stability of the public transport system.
C. The personal time gained during the commute.
D. The positive comments from their neighbors.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. When the Car Is Gone, the Journey Begins
B. A Crash That Changed Dallas Traffic
C. DART’s New Routes Win Riders Back
D. Commute Options in Modern Cities
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,通过亨特和科罗拉多两位达拉斯居民的经历,讲述了他们放弃私家车、选择达拉斯地区快速交通系统(DART)通勤的原因与收获,展现了无车生活带来的经济、环境与精神层面的积极改变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.(亨特从未想过自己的车会彻底报废。可在 2021 年,她却站在达拉斯高速公路旁,看着自己那辆 2008 款日产骐达的残骸,心中满是劫后余生的庆幸)和第二段中的“Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline(亨特曾承诺自己,等毕业搬到达拉斯市中心后就把车卖掉。这场事故加快了她的计划进程)可知,一场严重的车祸让亨特比原计划更早地开始使用公共交通。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado(2022年,DART对其公交网络进行了升级,这让科罗拉多等乘客的公共交通出行变得便利了许多)”可知,DART经过了优化升级,以便更好地为使用者服务。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段亨特的表述“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home(在工作日结束时,你可以享受回家的过程),以及第八段科罗拉多的做法“he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new. (他把原本开车的时间用来在火车上阅读、观察周围的世界、探索自家周边街区,或是结识新朋友)可知,两人都很欣赏这种新生活方式中通勤途中所获得的个人时光。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,亨特因车祸提前开启无车生活,科罗拉多为节约开支卖掉汽车,两人都选择了DART通勤,并且都在通勤的过程中收获了乐趣与感悟,正如最后一段科罗拉多所说“It’s more about the journey than the destination(重要的是旅途本身,而非目的地)”。A项“当汽车远去,旅途才真正开始”既点明了“放弃私家车”的核心事件,又契合文中“享受通勤过程”的主旨。为最佳标题。故选A项。
C
Chinese scientists have created multi-colored succulents (多肉植物) that glow in the dark by adding special “afterglow” particles (粒子) to their leaves. The particles absorb and slowly release light, letting the plants shine for up to two hours — an improvement over prior glowing plants, with potential for sustainable plant-based lighting.
Earlier attempts to create glowing plants used two main methods. One approach used glowing genes from organisms like phytoplankton (浮游植物), while the other involved putting light-emitting particles into plants. However, the first method mostly produced only green light, and the second created weak brightness. The main challenge was finding particles that were small enough to pass through plant tissues, yet large enough to produce bright light. Previous experiments with very small particles only made dim light that faded quickly.
The research team from South China Agricultural University, led by Shuting Liu, developed a new method using larger particles about the size of human red blood cells. These particles were big enough to produce strong, long-lasting light while still able to permeate the succulent plants they selected. The team chose succulents because these plants have naturally larger spaces between their cells, allowing the bigger particles to spread effectively — unlike other plants they tested.
In their experiments, scientists put different colored glowing particles into the succulent leaves. After just a few minutes of exposure to sunlight or regular indoor light, the plants began to glow. Green particles worked best, providing light for up to two hours with brightness similar to a small night light. The team created the world’s first multi-colored glowing plants and even built a wall of 56 succulents that produced enough light to see objects and read in the dark.
Liu expressed amazement at how well these human-made materials work with natural plant structures. This advancement opens possibilities for future environmentally sustainable lighting where plants could be “charged” by sunlight like batteries, serving both decorative and practical lighting purposes.
8. What was the key to solving the previous technical challenge?
A. Inventing a new type of light-emitting particle.
B. Focusing only on extending the glow duration.
C. Matching larger particles with a suitable plant type.
D. Making the plants absorb sunlight more efficiently.
9. Which phrase has the closest meaning to “permeate” in paragraph 3?
A. Move through. B. Act on. C. Attend to. D. Pile up.
10. Why does the author mention the experiment with the “wall of succulents”?
A. To stress the cost-effectiveness of the production.
B. To demonstrate the potential value of this attempt.
C. To explain the process of selecting the best plants.
D. To show the decorative function of the glowing plants.
11. What is the potential future application of this research?
A. Replacing all household electric lights.
B. Using plant-based lighting as a priority.
C. Creating plants that glow without any power.
D. Developing solar-powered lighting from plants.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国科学家通过在多肉植物的叶片中添加特殊的“持续发光”粒子,成功培育出了能在黑暗中发光的多肉植物,以及该技术的突破、实验过程和潜在应用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The research team from South China Agricultural University, led by Shuting Liu, developed a new method using larger particles about the size of human red blood cells. These particles were big enough to produce strong, long-lasting light while still able to permeate the succulent plants they selected. The team chose succulents because these plants have naturally larger spaces between their cells, allowing the bigger particles to spread effectively — unlike other plants they tested.(由刘淑婷领导的华南农业大学研究团队开发了一种新方法,使用大约人类红细胞大小的更大粒子。这些粒子大到足以产生强烈、持久的光,同时还能渗透到他们选择的多肉植物中。研究小组选择多肉植物是因为这些植物的细胞间隙天生更大,能让更大的粒子有效扩散——这与他们测试的其他植物不同)”可知,解决之前技术难题的关键是将更大的粒子与合适的植物类型(多肉植物)相匹配。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“These particles were big enough to produce strong, long-lasting light while still able to permeate the succulent plants they selected. The team chose succulents because these plants have naturally larger spaces between their cells, allowing the bigger particles to spread effectively — unlike other plants they tested.(这些粒子大到足以产生强烈、持久的光,同时还能permeate到他们选择的多肉植物中。研究小组选择多肉植物是因为这些植物的细胞间隙天生更大,能让更大的粒子有效扩散——这与他们测试的其他植物不同)”可知,permeate的含义应与spread effectively“有效扩散”相关,结合粒子需要进入植物组织的语境,其意思是穿透、渗入,与“Move through(穿过)”意思最接近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The team created the world’s first multi-colored glowing plants and even built a wall of 56 succulents that produced enough light to see objects and read in the dark.(该团队创造了世界上第一种多色发光植物,甚至用56株多肉植物搭建了一面墙,发出的光足以让人在黑暗中看清物体和阅读)”以及最后一段中的“This advancement opens possibilities for future environmentally sustainable lighting where plants could be “charged” by sunlight like batteries, serving both decorative and practical lighting purposes.(这一进步为未来环境可持续照明开辟了可能性,植物可以像电池一样被阳光“充电”,兼具装饰和实用照明功能)”可推知,作者提到“多肉植物墙”实验是为了证明这种尝试的潜在价值。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This advancement opens possibilities for future environmentally sustainable lighting where plants could be “charged” by sunlight like batteries, serving both decorative and practical lighting purposes.(这一进步为未来环境可持续照明开辟了可能性,植物可以像电池一样被阳光“充电”,兼具装饰和实用照明功能)”可知,这项研究未来的潜在应用是开发由植物制成的太阳能照明。故选D项。
D
When scientists constructed a puzzle-solving task and matched teams of people against teams of ants, the insects sometimes proved to be the smarter species. That’s not to look down on human intelligence — ants are smart, and their acts of coordinated (协作) activity are rare in nature. Still, it is fair to say that ants have something important to teach us.
In an experiment using ant-sized and tennis-court-sized mazes (迷宫) both ants and humans had to transport a large T-shaped object through narrow openings, similar to moving a large couch through a narrow hallway.
Videos showed that teams of ants completed the task with remarkable efficiency, while human teams often appeared less coordinated. Individual humans still always beat individual ants, but their performance vastly improved when they teamed up. Humans’ performance did not.
Yet humans have accomplished incredible feats of cooperation — such as landing on the moon as groups. However, sometimes, we get trapped in groupthink.
Ants don’t choose a leader. Most carry their part blindly with the group, but a few periodically break away to assess the situation. These informed individuals then gently guide the group in the right direction. This creates a form of “self-organization”, and intelligence emerges on the group level.
When allowed to communicate in the experiment, human groups did not perform better than the average individual within the group. When communication was limited, like ants’ conditions, they did far worse. For humans, a researcher said, the drive for consensus often overrides (优于) individual knowledge. Even if most group members know the correct solution, the group might still choose a simpler, incorrect option to achieve agreement. This shows that the “wisdom of the crowd” only functions when individuals think independently.
The study suggests that while humans have great individual and collective potential we can still learn from species like ants about effective group coordination, perhaps even improving how we conduct meetings and collaborative projects.
12. What is the purpose of the experiment?
A. To prove ants’ group wisdom surpasses humans.
B. To explore effective coordination for human learning.
C. To examine the role of groupthink in animal societies.
D. To compare intelligence to highlight ants’ coordination.
13. Why did ant teams perform better than human teams in the experiment?
A. Ants outperformed humans individually.
B. Ants had clear leadership to cooperate.
C. Ants relied on self-organization to succeed.
D. Ants had a tendency to overlook coordination.
14. What is identified as a key problem in human group behavior?
A. Lack of clear leadership. B. Inefficient group movement.
C. A desire for agreement. D. Dependence on communication.
15. What can humans learn from ants in the passage?
A. Ignoring agreement to pursue individual ideas.
B. Avoiding group work to improve work efficiency.
C. Allowing a few members to guide the group.
D. Valuing individual thinking to aid group success.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项“人与蚂蚁组队完成迷宫运物任务”的实验,对比人与蚂蚁的群体协作表现,揭示蚂蚁的自组织协作模式优势,并指出人类群体决策中存在的问题,以及可从蚂蚁身上借鉴的协作经验。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study suggests that while humans have great individual and collective potential, we can still learn from species like ants about effective group coordination, perhaps even improving how we conduct meetings and collaborative projects. (这项研究表明,尽管人类拥有强大的个体潜力与集体潜力,但我们依然可以从蚂蚁这类物种身上学习高效的群体协作方式,甚至还能借此改进我们组织会议、开展协作项目的方法)”可推知,实验的目的是探索人类可学习的有效协作方式。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Ants don’t choose a leader. Most carry their part blindly with the group, but a few periodically break away to assess the situation. These informed individuals then gently guide the group in the right direction. This creates a form of “self-organization”, and intelligence emerges on the group level. (蚂蚁不会推选领导者。大多数蚂蚁会跟随群体,盲目地完成自己的分内之事,但有少数蚂蚁会定期脱离队伍,去评估当前的局势。这些掌握了信息的个体随后会温和地引领整个群体朝着正确的方向行进。这就形成了一种“自组织”模式,群体层面的智慧也由此应运而生)”可知,蚂蚁团队在实验中表现更优的原因是它们依靠自组织模式取得成功。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“For humans, a researcher said, the drive for consensus often overrides (优于) individual knowledge. Even if most group members know the correct solution, the group might still choose a simpler, incorrect option to achieve agreement. (一位研究人员表示,对人类而言,达成共识的驱动力往往会压倒个体的知识储备。即便大多数群体成员知道正确的解决方案,群体仍可能为了达成一致而选择更简单的错误选项)”可知,人类群体行为的核心问题是对达成共识的过度渴望。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“This shows that the “wisdom of the crowd” only functions when individuals think independently. (这表明,“群体智慧”只有在个体独立思考时才能发挥作用)”可推知,人类能从蚂蚁身上学到的经验是重视个体独立思考,以此助力群体取得成功。故选D项。

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。
Tom had lived in Chicago with his parents for as long as he could remember. The brick house with a maple tree in the yard, the corner cafe where he got chocolate milk every Saturday, and the old bookstore with a cat napping on the counter were all part of his world. He’d just finished his 8th-grade final exam when he ran home, backpack bouncing, ready to proudly tell about his math score.
But the moment he pushed open the door, the air felt different — boxes were piled up by the sofa, and his mom was folding his clothes into a suitcase. “We’re moving,” she said softly, when Tom froze by the door. “Back to Beijing, Grandpa’s not well, and we need to be with him.”
Tom’s ears buzzed. He stared at the boxes, and thought of his soccer team, his best friend Jake who lived next door, the maple tree he’d carved his name into. “But… this is home,” he mumbled, throat tight. His dad put a hand on his shoulder. “It’ll be different, but it’s our real home too — your grandma’s dumplings, the streets I grew up on. You’ll see.”
For the next two weeks, Tom went through the days like a ghost. He hugged Jake goodbye, ran his fingers over the maple tree one last time, and didn’t say a word on the long flight. When the plane landed in Beijing, the sun-baked air hit his face, warm and sweet with the smell of something he couldn’t name. He followed his parents out of the airport, squinting (眯着眼看) at the bright sun, wondering what this “real home” would feel like.
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。
Para 1. Tom looked out of the taxi window, feeling Beijing’s vitality (活力).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2. Family joy still lingering, Tom set off for his first day at school.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Tom looked out of the taxi window, feeling Beijing’s vitality. The streets hummed with life: vendors selling crispy pancakes, cyclists moving smoothly through crowds, and the soft sound of tea pouring from roadside stalls. Ancient alleys stood beside glass skyscrapers, and the scent of sweet flowers drifted nearby. When his mom pointed to the Forbidden City’s golden roofs glinting in the sun, she squeezed his hand. As they reached the courtyard, the smell of grandma’s dumplings wrapped around him, and a flicker of warmth mixed with his curiosity — maybe this city held more than he’d feared.
Family joy still lingering, Tom set off for his first day at school. His hands trembled as he entered the classroom, but a grinning boy waved him over. At lunch, classmates pressed dumplings into his bowl, laughing as he fumbled with chopsticks. By afternoon, when he joined a basketball game, the beat of the ball and shared laughter lightened his chest. For the first time, he thought: home isn’t a place — it’s the people who make you feel you belong.
【解析】
【导语】本文以主人公Tom的生活轨迹为线索,讲述了他原本在芝加哥过着熟悉安稳的生活,却因爷爷生病不得不举家搬回北京。从最初的抗拒、迷茫,到逐渐感受北京的活力,最终在新学校收获友谊的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句“Tom望着出租车窗外,感受着北京的蓬勃活力。”可知,第一段可描写Tom在出租车上观察到的北京街景,从陌生到被鲜活的市井气息打动,再到踏入奶奶家闻到饺子香,内心的好奇与温暖开始取代不安。
②由第二段首句“家庭的温馨仍在心头萦绕,Tom踏上了第一天上学的路。”可知,第二段可描写Tom在新学校的经历,从紧张到手抖,到被同学热情接纳,再到融入篮球比赛,最终在欢声笑语中领悟家的真谛。
2.续写线索:初抵北京——感受城市活力——踏入奶奶家——感受家的温暖——开学首日——紧张不安——同学友善相待——融入集体——领悟家的本质
3.词汇激活

Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder (残骸) of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.
Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline. Now, the 28-year-old is one of more than 200,000 Dallasites using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make their everyday commute (通勤).
In order to cut costs, Colorado, a software developer, sold his car. When he owned a car, Colorado said he spent around $450 a month on payments and insurance alone. On top of that, he paid for gas, maintenance, and more — making his car expenses well above twice the amount he pays without one, he said.
In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado. But no matter how DART develops, riding public transportation takes some amount of pre-planning based on bus and train schedules, Colorado said. His advice for new riders is: “Don’t give up when things get difficult.”
Riding DART is more environmentally conscious, too, Hunter said, and she regularly runs into several of her neighbors while on transit.
For Hunter, living without a car gives her peace from the stress of traffic and has helped her mental stability.
“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home.” Hunter said.
Colorado said he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new.
“You learn to see, appreciate, and soak in the value of taking a little time,” Colorado said. “It’s more about the journey than the destination. I think there’s a philosophy to it that you start to learn.”
4. What made Hunter use public transport earlier than planned?
A. A serious car crash.
B. Her move to downtown Dallas.
C. Her graduation from university.
D. The high cost of car maintenance.
5. What can be learned about DART from the text?
A. It advocates a low-carbon transportation.
B. It’s the primary cause of reduced car ownership.
C. It has flexible schedules tailored for its users.
D. It has been improved to better serve its users.
6. What do both Hunter and Colorado appreciate about their new lifestyle?
A. The chance to make more friends.
B. The stability of the public transport system.
C. The personal time gained during the commute.

Chinese scientists have created multi-colored succulents (多肉植物) that glow in the dark by adding special “afterglow” particles (粒子) to their leaves. The particles absorb and slowly release light, letting the plants shine for up to two hours — an improvement over prior glowing plants, with potential for sustainable plant-based lighting.
Earlier attempts to create glowing plants used two main methods. One approach used glowing genes from organisms like phytoplankton (浮游植物), while the other involved putting light-emitting particles into plants. However, the first method mostly produced only green light, and the second created weak brightness. The main challenge was finding particles that were small enough to pass through plant tissues, yet large enough to produce bright light. Previous experiments with very small particles only made dim light that faded quickly.
The research team from South China Agricultural University, led by Shuting Liu, developed a new method using larger particles about the size of human red blood cells. These particles were big enough to produce strong, long-lasting light while still able to permeate the succulent plants they selected. The team chose succulents because these plants have naturally larger spaces between their cells, allowing the bigger particles to spread effectively — unlike other plants they tested.
In their experiments, scientists put different colored glowing particles into the succulent leaves. After just a few minutes of exposure to sunlight or regular indoor light, the plants began to glow. Green particles worked best, providing light for up to two hours with brightness similar to a small night light. The team created the world’s first multi-colored glowing plants and even built a wall of 56 succulents that produced enough light to see objects and read in the dark.
Liu expressed amazement at how well these human-made materials work with natural plant structures. This advancement opens possibilities for future environmentally sustainable lighting where plants could be “charged” by sunlight like batteries, serving both decorative and practical lighting purposes.
8. What was the key to solving the previous technical challenge?
A. Inventing a new type of light-emitting particle.
B. Focusing only on extending the glow duration.
C. Matching larger particles with a suitable plant type.
D. Making the plants absorb sunlight more efficiently.
9. Which phrase has the closest meaning to “permeate” in paragraph 3?
A. Move through. B. Act on. C. Attend to. D. Pile up.
10. Why does the author mention the experiment with the “wall of succulents”?
A. To stress the cost-effectiveness of the production.
B. To demonstrate the potential value of this attempt.
C. To explain the process of selecting the best plants.
D. To show the decorative function of the glowing plants.
11. What is the potential future application of this research?
A. Replacing all household electric lights.
B. Using plant-based lighting as a priority.
C. Creating plants that glow without any power.
D. Developing solar-powered lighting from plants.
D
When scientists constructed a puzzle-solving task and matched teams of people against teams of ants, the insects sometimes proved to be the smarter species. That’s not to look down on human intelligence — ants are smart, and their acts of coordinated (协作) activity are rare in nature. Still, it is fair to say that ants have something important to teach us.
In an experiment using ant-sized and tennis-court-sized mazes (迷宫) both ants and humans had to transport a large T-shaped object through narrow openings, similar to moving a large couch through a narrow hallway.
Videos showed that teams of ants completed the task with remarkable efficiency, while human teams often appeared less coordinated. Individual humans still always beat individual ants, but their performance vastly improved when they teamed up. Humans’ performance did not.
Yet humans have accomplished incredible feats of cooperation — such as landing on the moon as groups. However, sometimes, we get trapped in groupthink.
Ants don’t choose a leader. Most carry their part blindly with the group, but a few periodically break away to assess the situation. These informed individuals then gently guide the group in the right direction. This creates a form of “self-organization”, and intelligence emerges on the group level.
When allowed to communicate in the experiment, human groups did not perform better than the average individual within the group. When communication was limited, like ants’ conditions, they did far worse. For humans, a researcher said, the drive for consensus often overrides (优于) individual knowledge. Even if most group members know the correct solution, the group might still choose a simpler, incorrect option to achieve agreement. This shows that the “wisdom of the crowd” only functions when individuals think independently.
The study suggests that while humans have great individual and collective potential, we can still learn from species like ants about effective group coordination, perhaps even improving how we conduct meetings and collaborative projects.
12. What is the purpose of the experiment?
A. To prove ants’ group wisdom surpasses humans.
B. To explore effective coordination for human learning.
C. To examine the role of groupthink in animal societies.
D. To compare intelligence to highlight ants’ coordination.
13. Why did ant teams perform better than human teams in the experiment?
A. Ants outperformed humans individually.
B. Ants had clear leadership to cooperate.
C. Ants relied on self-organization to succeed.
D. Ants had a tendency to overlook coordination.
14 What is identified as a key problem in human group behavior?
A. Lack of clear leadership. B. Inefficient group movement.
C. A desire for agreement. D. Dependence on communication.
15. What can humans learn from ants in the passage?
A. Ignoring agreement to pursue individual ideas.
B. Avoiding group work to improve work efficiency.
C. Allowing a few members to guide the group.
D. Valuing individual thinking to aid group success.

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。
Tom had lived in Chicago with his parents for as long as he could remember. The brick house with a maple tree in the yard, the corner cafe where he got chocolate milk every Saturday, and the old bookstore with a cat napping on the counter were all part of his world. He’d just finished his 8th-grade final exam when he ran home, backpack bouncing, ready to proudly tell about his math score.
But the moment he pushed open the door, the air felt different — boxes were piled up by the sofa, and his mom was folding his clothes into a suitcase. “We’re moving,” she said softly, when Tom froze by the door. “Back to Beijing, Grandpa’s not well, and we need to be with him.”
Tom’s ears buzzed. He stared at the boxes, and thought of his soccer team, his best friend Jake who lived next door, the maple tree he’d carved his name into. “But… this is home,” he mumbled, throat tight. His dad put a hand on his shoulder. “It’ll be different, but it’s our real home too — your grandma’s dumplings, the streets I grew up on. You’ll see.”
For the next two weeks, Tom went through the days like a ghost. He hugged Jake goodbye, ran his fingers over the maple tree one last time, and didn’t say a word on the long flight. When the plane landed in Beijing, the sun-baked air hit his face, warm and sweet with the smell of something he couldn’t name. He followed his parents out of the airport, squinting (眯着眼看) at the bright sun, wondering what this “real home” would feel like.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
