I had a brief stay at Detroit Airport before heading home. Knowing my gate number, I got there with 5 minutes to spare and stood waiting for “Gate 3” to be called.
I was already very tired and had an important call scheduled for an hour after I was set to get home. But then I heard the announcement, “It seems we have overbooked the flight. Would anyone care to volunteer to stay for the later departure in 4 hours?” And the gate attendant was anxiously waiting for someone to volunteer.
I looked around and saw businessmen who needed to work, moms who needed to meet their kids, and kids who needed to see their friends. Even though I wanted to be home just as much as anyone, something inside me said that I should extend some kindness to this group of strangers.
I picked up my bag, approached the desk, and told the gate attendant my decision. A smile spread across her face. As she was processing my ticket, I was happy to see all the other passengers could now board their flight and I had been able to help. The attendant handed me my boarding pass for the later flight and another piece of paper, then said, “This is for your kindness.” I saw that it was a 700-dollar voucher (代金券) to fly anywhere in the world during the next year!
I got to my new gate and took a seat next to a power outlet so that my laptop would make it through the extra four hours. I rescheduled that important call. And then I got a lot of work done, which was a wonderful silver lining.
When my flight started boarding, I was surprised to discover that my new boarding pass was for a seat in first class. I thought about how grateful I was for everything that had happened, and how it was all because of the chain reaction of kindness. I gave with the intention to serve others, with no thought of reward, and that kindness was returned to me with an amazing upgrade.

The lights go down, music plays, and a young woman on a bike at the front of the class encourages students to spin faster and harder. When the lights go back on, the students on the bikes pull out their notebooks, and it’s clear that this is not Soul Cycle. Instead, it’s a first-of-its-kind business school course at Fordham University that is taught on spin bikes in a university.
“It’s the first class that I mention to anybody,” said Amanda Vopat, 22, a business administration major. “I think people are really excited about it. ”
The 75-minute, twice-weekly course is the brainchild of Julita Haber, a business school professor at Fordham. “I have been introducing movement and fitness into my classes for the past seven years,” she said. “I found the spin class would really allow students to exercise while a professor lectures at the same time.”
The course the students are taking while cycling is no joke. Managing Professional Relationships is an upper-level business school course taken primarily by juniors and seniors. The students are fully involved in each class, selecting the music, leading stretches before and after class and leading the intervals during the class.
Haber stops her lecture every 20 minutes throughout the class. While one student turns off the lights, another student turns up the music and a third student goes to a bike in the front of the class to lead their classmates in high-intensity interval training that lasts two to three minutes, just enough to re-energize the students.
“It’s a fantastic way of engaging students and as a professor, as a teacher, that’s really gratifying,” she said. “They don’t have their smartphones or laptops so they are physically engaged and also mentally engaged in what is being said.”
Donna Rapaccioli the head of Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business, described how students were “energized” by the class and said Fordham was open to expanding the concept to other courses. “Definitely,” Rapaccioli answered when asked if Haber’s course represents the future of learning.
8. What is the unique feature of the business course?
A. It uses advanced music equipment.
B. It is the most popular fitness trend.
C. It best motivates business professors.
D. It combines lecture with exercise.
9 How do the interval activities function in class?
A. They replace the final examination.
B. They refresh and energize students.
C They build team spirit among classmates.
D. They assess students’ physical condition.
10. What does the underlined word “gratifying” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Satisfying. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Worrying.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. New Trend: Soul Cycle Classes in Universities
B. Student Fitness: The Integration of Spin Bikes into Classes
C. Innovative Learning: A Business Course on Spin Bikes at Fordham
D. Classroom Engagement: A Case Study for Combining Exercise and lectures
D
When it comes to playing games like chess or solving difficult scientific challenges, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.
We are blessed with a mysterious gift to reason about the goals, desires, and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life — to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball — we have to give them this gift.
In psychology, this is called theory of mind, which develops early in humans. Reproducing it in machines remains challenging, largely due to context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply, “It’s raining,” they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Besides, whether in humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI risks limiting it to our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, AI might develop approaches beyond our imagination, including forms of theory of mind unknown to us because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
But we may still need AI to develop a human-like theory of mind. While organic learning could create powerful AI, building in shared knowledge is key to the trust and communication between humans and machines.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It’s a step toward a deeper goal: creating self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way, in thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By raising a concern. B. By making a contrast.
C. By quoting a theory. D. By giving examples.
13. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “it’s raining” in paragraph 3?
A. The challenge of miscommunication.
B. A daily scene of human interaction.
C. The role of shared background knowledge.
D. The influence of weather on humans’ plans.
14. What is the primary purpose of developing a human-like theory of mind in AI?
A. To establish trust and communication with humans.
B. To control its thinking patterns and benefit humans.
C. To prevent potential risks by limiting its learning scope.
D. To enable its organic evolution into a more powerful AI.
15. What does the author suggest for AI’s future development?
A. A limit on its built-in knowledge.
B A focus on immediate practical use.
C. A copy of human thinking patterns.
D. An emphasis on human-AI relationship.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
Enjoying — the ability to notice and value nice moments — lies at the heart of happiness. Exposure to nature strengthens this ability by restoring attentional resources and meeting mental needs, thus making life feel more meaningful.
A series of three studies with Chinese senior-high students looked at the link between nature and enjoyment. ___16___ Study 1 asked 1,200 teenagers questions and found that those who often spent time in nature believed more strongly in their power to enjoy small pleasures. In Study 2, one group looked at forest pictures and another at city pictures before tasting the same chocolate. ___17___ Adding soft bird-song made the chocolate seem “sweeter,” showing how much the environment can influence us. In Study 3, some students took a half-day mountain walk while others walked in the city. Only the nature group wrote about 25% more daily “little joys” and felt life had more meaning the next week.
___18___ Attention Restoration Theory explains why nature works: its four parts help recover used-up mental energy allowing the mind to focus on the present. ___19___ Self-Determination Theory adds that natural places meet deep needs for freedom, skill, and connection. Research on good feelings sees enjoying as a way to strengthen positive feelings. Together, these ideas form a clear “nature → enjoying → meaning” path.
All the evidence shows that nature is a useful tool for enjoying, and enjoying is what creates meaning. City planners could place quiet, practical activities in green spaces; mind experts could create short “walk-and-enjoy” programs; hotels could add plants or nature views to bring out small joys and improve how guests feel. ___20___
A. Find exercise that you personally enjoy.
B. All studies showed clear, consistent results.
C. This explains why people prefer sweet food.
D. This mental readiness also helps people connect.
E. These findings called for theoretical explanation.
F. The forest group showed much higher enjoyment.
G. Ultimately, find quiet moments in nature for meaning.

Our dream for our Massachusetts farm was twofold: to build a life for ourselves and to actively welcome the wild.

My husband and I sought this ____23____ to keep my horses at home. And, as a ____24____ gardener, I immediately recognized the ____25____ of this small land to become a wildlife garden.

It was in quiet moments that ___30___ emerged — the return of bluebirds to their nest, coming of new insects, or our horses keeping a ____31____ distance from a fox looking for food. The pond soon became the heart of this ____32____ community.
In this gentle partnership, I found a truth far greater than I had imagined. The land, in its great wisdom, taught us the deepest form of ____33____ is not to possess, but to ____34____. We didn’t just build a wildlife-friendly farm; we wove our own lives into the active ____35____ of this place.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We often celebrate football as the “beautiful game” with its modern home in England. However, its origins trace back over thousands of years to an ancient Chinese sport called “Cuju”. Recently, this historical connection ___36___(gain) global recognition, thanks to China’s efforts to share its rich cultural heritage with the world.
Cuju, which means “kick the ball,” ___37___(be) a popular activity during the Han Dynasty. It was not just a game; it also served as vital military training to keep soldiers fit and flexible. Players kicked a leather ball ___38___ an opening into a net, with their ___39___(foot) and body but not their hands, showcasing remarkable skill and energy.
For centuries, this piece of history ___40___(large) remained within academic circles. But as China engages more deeply with the international community, stories like Cuju’s have found a new global audience, ___41___ is achieved through international exhibitions and cultural festivals that bring history to life. This initiative is not to claim ownership of modern football, but rather ___42___(highlight) a shared human history. By promoting such cultural stories, China is building bridges of mutual understanding and ___43___(appreciate).
The journey of Cuju from ___44___ ancient Chinese game to a ____45____(recognize) origin of world football perfectly illustrates how cultural exchange enriches our global society. It reminds us that in our interconnected world, appreciating the past can bring people together, turning national heritage into a gift for all of humanity.

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。
After playing “Jasmine Flower,” Mya looked up at her piano teacher, Ms. Jackson, who praised her performance. A wave of warm gratitude washed over her as she remembered her great-grandmother patiently sitting beside her during her practice sessions.
Ms. Jackson then invited her to play at the mall with other students that Saturday. Mya felt an immediate surge of panic and quickly declined, explaining that her family was going to a retirement send-off party at her great-grandmother’s retirement community. Although she didn’t say it out loud, she was deeply relieved to have a perfect excuse, as the thought of performing in public made her stomach clench(紧缩)into a tight knot.
On Saturday morning, while wrapping a bunch of flowers, Mya thought about her friends playing piano at the mall. She pictured hundreds of shoppers wandering around and listening while going from store to store. Some of them would take breaks to watch the piano players. This mental image made her feel nervous.
When Mya and her parents arrived at the retirement community, they joined her great-grandmother for the retirement send-off party. After a short video made in honor of the retiree and a flower presentation by Mya, the activity director, Mrs. Carmen, announced that they usually ended by singing “Jasmine Flower,” but their usual piano player was absent.
“Mya plays the piano,” Great-Grandma announced, smiling proudly. As soon as the words were out, Mya’s heart began to race. She felt trapped and anxious, wondering how she could ever find the courage to play here. Mrs. Carmen then smiled at Mya and asked if she would play for them. Looking around, Mya saw all the residents sitting in a circle, facing the piano. She realized this was even more frightening than the mall would have been, because here, everyone would be watching only her, and this thought made it hard to breathe.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the last note fading away, Mya stood up and bowed.

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Membership Benefits & Fees”中“Members receive an official, high-quality club T-shirt, personalized training advice from our experienced runners, and priority registration for all popular events which often fill up quickly. Non-members are always welcome to join our regular weekly runs to get a feel for the club’s atmosphere, though they cannot participate in member-only events or receive the full range of benefits.(会员可获赠官方高品质俱乐部定制T恤,还能得到资深跑者提供的个性化训练指导,同时享有热门赛事的优先报名权 —— 这类赛事的名额往往很快就会报满。非会员也欢迎参加我们每周的常规跑团活动,感受俱乐部的氛围,但无法参与会员专属赛事,也不能享受全部会员福利)”且下文的表格列出的年费标准可知,成为会员可享受一系列专属福利,如官方高质量俱乐部T恤、个性化训练建议、热门活动优先注册等,而要成为会员就需要支付相应的年费。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。由“Membership Type”表格可知,成年会员(18 - 64岁)年费为¥150,学生会员(凭学生证)年费为¥100。那么学生会员每年比成年会员节省的费用为:¥150 - ¥100 = ¥50。A选项“¥50”符合计算结果,故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。从“Community Events & Social Engagement”部分“These events provide perfect opportunities for members to connect, celebrate their progress, and enjoy the friendship that makes our club more than just a running group. It’s where lasting friendships are formed.(这些活动为会员提供了绝佳的交流机会,让他们庆祝自己的进步,享受友谊,使我们的俱乐部不仅仅是一个跑步团体。这里是建立持久友谊的地方)”可知,社区活动的主要目的是让会员之间建立联系、增进友谊,从而培养一种归属感。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在机场主动让座助人,未求回报却收获代金券和升舱等意外惊喜的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I looked around and saw businessmen who needed to work, moms who needed to meet their kids, and kids who needed to see their friends. Even though I wanted to be home just as much as anyone, something inside me said that I should extend some kindness to this group of strangers.(我环顾四周,看到需要工作的商人、需要接孩子的妈妈们和需要见朋友的孩子们。尽管我和其他人一样想回家,但内心深处告诉我,应该对这群陌生人伸出援手)”可知,作者发现其他人有更迫切的需求,所以决定让座。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As she was processing my ticket, I was happy to see all the other passengers could now board their flight and I had been able to help.(在她处理我的机票时,我很高兴看到其他所有乘客都能登机了,而我也能帮上忙)”可知,作者帮助他人后,因看到其他人顺利登机而感到满意。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“I got to my new gate and took a seat next to a power outlet so that my laptop would make it through the extra four hours. I rescheduled that important call.

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“I gave with the intention to serve others, with no thought of reward, and that kindness was returned to me with an amazing upgrade.(我给予帮助的初衷是为他人服务,没有想过回报,但这份善意却以一次惊喜的升舱回馈给了我)”及全文内容可知,作者的故事主要体现了善举能带来积极的回报。故选A项。

The lights go down, music plays, and a young woman on a bike at the front of the class encourages students to spin faster and harder. When the lights go back on, the students on the bikes pull out their notebooks, and it’s clear that this is not Soul Cycle. Instead, it’s a first-of-its-kind business school course at Fordham University that is taught on spin bikes in a university.
“It’s the first class that I mention to anybody,” said Amanda Vopat, 22, a business administration major. “I think people are really excited about it. ”
The 75-minute, twice-weekly course is the brainchild of Julita Haber, a business school professor at Fordham. “I have been introducing movement and fitness into my classes for the past seven years,” she said. “I found the spin class would really allow students to exercise while a professor lectures at the same time.”
The course the students are taking while cycling is no joke. Managing Professional Relationships is an upper-level business school course taken primarily by juniors and seniors. The students are fully involved in each class, selecting the music, leading stretches before and after class and leading the intervals during the class.
Haber stops her lecture every 20 minutes throughout the class. While one student turns off the lights, another student turns up the music and a third student goes to a bike in the front of the class to lead their classmates in high-intensity interval training that lasts two to three minutes, just enough to re-energize the students.
“It’s a fantastic way of engaging students and as a professor, as a teacher, that’s really gratifying,” she said. “They don’t have their smartphones or laptops so they are physically engaged and also mentally engaged in what is being said.”
Donna Rapaccioli, the head of Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business, described how students were “energized” by the class and said Fordham was open to expanding the concept to other courses. “Definitely,” Rapaccioli answered when asked if Haber’s course represents the future of learning.
8. What is the unique feature of the business course?
A. It uses advanced music equipment.
B. It is the most popular fitness trend.
C. It best motivates business professors.
D. It combines lecture with exercise.
9. How do the interval activities function in class?
A. They replace the final examination.
B. They refresh and energize students.
C. They build team spirit among classmates.

When it comes to playing games like chess or solving difficult scientific challenges, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.
We are blessed with a mysterious gift to reason about the goals, desires, and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life — to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball — we have to give them this gift.
In psychology, this is called theory of mind, which develops early in humans. Reproducing it in machines remains challenging, largely due to context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply, “It’s raining,” they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Besides, whether in humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI risks limiting it to our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, AI might develop approaches beyond our imagination, including forms of theory of mind unknown to us because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
But we may still need AI to develop a human-like theory of mind. While organic learning could create powerful AI, building in shared knowledge is key to the trust and communication between humans and machines.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It’s a step toward a deeper goal: creating self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way, in thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By raising a concern. B. By making a contrast.
C. By quoting a theory. D. By giving examples.
13. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “it’s raining” in paragraph 3?
A. The challenge of miscommunication.
B. A daily scene of human interaction.
C. The role of shared background knowledge.
D. The influence of weather on humans’ plans.
14. What is the primary purpose of developing a human-like theory of mind in AI?
A. To establish trust and communication with humans.
B. To control its thinking patterns and benefit humans.
C. To prevent potential risks by limiting its learning scope.
D. To enable its organic evolution into a more powerful AI.
15. What does the author suggest for AI’s future development?
A. A limit on its built-in knowledge.
B A focus on immediate practical use.
C. A copy of human thinking patterns.
D. An emphasis on human-AI relationship.

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When it comes to playing games like chess or solving difficult scientific challenges, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.(在国际象棋等游戏或解决复杂科学难题方面,计算机远远领先于人类。但我们有一种超级能力,它们根本无法掌握:读心术)”可知,作者通过将计算机在某些领域的领先优势与人类拥有而计算机无法掌握的“读心术”进行对比,引出了文章要讨论的核心问题。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In psychology, this is called theory of mind, which develops early in humans. Reproducing it in machines remains challenging, largely due to context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply, ‘It’s raining,’ they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.(在心理学上,这被称为心理理论,它在人类早期就开始发展。在机器中重现这一点仍然具有挑战性,主要是因为语境问题。例如,如果有人问你是否要去跑步,你回答‘下雨了’,他们很快就能得出否定的答案。但这需要大量关于跑步、天气和人类偏好的背景知识)”可知,作者提及“下雨了”这一例子,是为了说明让人工智能拥有“心理理论”的核心挑战在于语境,而语境的理解离不开大量共享的背景知识,以此阐释背景知识在类人“心理理论”中的重要作用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But we may still need AI to develop a human-like theory of mind. While organic learning could create powerful AI, building in shared knowledge is key to the trust and communication between humans and machines.(但我们可能仍然需要人工智能发展出类人的心理理论。虽然有机学习可以创造出强大的人工智能,但植入共享知识是实现人机信任与沟通的关键)”可知,让人工智能拥有类人“心理理论”的主要目的是建立人机之间的信任与沟通。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“While organic learning could create powerful AI, building in shared knowledge is key to the trust and communication between humans and machines.(虽然有机学习能够创造出功能强大的人工智能,但植入共享知识才是实现人机之间信任与沟通的关键。)”和第六段中的“It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It’s a step toward a deeper goal: creating self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way, in thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.(不过,我们需要谨记一点:追求具备 “心理理论” 的机器,其意义远不止于制造更多实用的机器人。这是朝着一个更深层目标迈进的一步 —— 打造拥有自我意识的机器。我们能否实现这一目标,还有待观察。但在探索的过程中,当我们思考他人与其他智能体时,也正走在学会审视自我的道路上)”可推断,作者建议人工智能未来发展应重视人机关系,通过植入共享知识、培养类人“心理理论”,实现人机信任与沟通,而非仅关注实用性。故选D项。

阅读下面短文,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。
Enjoying — the ability to notice and value nice moments — lies at the heart of happiness. Exposure to nature strengthens this ability by restoring attentional resources and meeting mental needs thus making life feel more meaningful.
A series of three studies with Chinese senior-high students looked at the link between nature and enjoyment. ___16___ Study 1 asked 1,200 teenagers questions and found that those who often spent time in nature believed more strongly in their power to enjoy small pleasures. In Study 2, one group looked at forest pictures and another at city pictures before tasting the same chocolate. ___17___ Adding soft bird-song made the chocolate seem “sweeter,” showing how much the environment can influence us. In Study 3, some students took a half-day mountain walk while others walked in the city. Only the nature group wrote about 25% more daily “little joys” and felt life had more meaning the next week.
___18___ Attention Restoration Theory explains why nature works: its four parts help recover used-up mental energy, allowing the mind to focus on the present. ___19___ Self-Determination Theory adds that natural places meet deep needs for freedom, skill, and connection. Research on good feelings sees enjoying as a way to strengthen positive feelings. Together, these ideas form a clear “nature → enjoying → meaning” path.
All the evidence shows that nature is a useful tool for enjoying, and enjoying is what creates meaning. City planners could place quiet, practical activities in green spaces; mind experts could create short “walk-and-enjoy” programs; hotels could add plants or nature views to bring out small joys and improve how guests feel. ___20___
A. Find exercise that you personally enjoy.
B. All studies showed clear, consistent results.
C. This explains why people prefer sweet food.
D. This mental readiness also helps people connect.
E. These findings called for theoretical explanation.
F. The forest group showed much higher enjoyment.
G. Ultimately, find quiet moments in nature for meaning.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear editor,
I’m Li Hua from Class 8. I am writing to enthusiastically recommend the establishment of a Basketball Club, believing it would enrich our school’s extracurricular activities.
I have three reasons for my idea. As a team sport, basketball naturally promotes cooperation and teamwork among students. It also provides an excellent full-body workout, enhancing our physical fitness and mental strength. Beyond physical benefits, the sport helps develop valuable life lessons such as perseverance. A Basketball Club is more than just a sports team; it is a platform where students foster complete and balanced growth.
I believe it would greatly benefit our school community. I am ready to provide more details if necessary.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
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。
After playing “Jasmine Flower,” Mya looked up at her piano teacher, Ms. Jackson, who praised her performance. A wave of warm gratitude washed over her as she remembered her great-grandmother patiently sitting beside her during her practice sessions.
Ms. Jackson then invited her to play at the mall with other students that Saturday. Mya felt an immediate surge of panic and quickly declined, explaining that her family was going to a retirement send-off party at her great-grandmother’s retirement community. Although she didn’t say it out loud, she was deeply relieved to have a perfect excuse, as the thought of performing in public made her stomach clench(紧缩)into a tight knot.
On Saturday morning, while wrapping a bunch of flowers, Mya thought about her friends playing piano at the mall. She pictured hundreds of shoppers wandering around and listening while going from store to store. Some of them would take breaks to watch the piano players. This mental image made her feel nervous.
When Mya and her parents arrived at the retirement community, they joined her great-grandmother for the retirement send-off party. After a short video made in honor of the retiree and a flower presentation by Mya, the activity director, Mrs. Carmen, announced that they usually ended by singing “Jasmine Flower,” but their usual piano player was absent.
“Mya plays the piano,” Great-Grandma announced, smiling proudly. As soon as the words were out, Mya’s heart began to race. She felt trapped and anxious, wondering how she could ever find the courage to play here. Mrs. Carmen then smiled at Mya and asked if she would play for them. Looking around, Mya saw all the residents sitting in a circle, facing the piano. She realized this was even more frightening than the mall would have been, because here, everyone would be watching only her, and this thought made it hard to breathe.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the last note fading away, Mya stood up and bowed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it. Then she saw the smiles on all the faces as they looked eagerly toward her. Her eyes met her great-grandmother’s across the room. Seeing her gentle, encouraging smile, Mya was suddenly back at the piano bench, remembering all those patient hours they had spent together. A deep breath steadied her. Gathering every bit of her courage, Mya gave a slight, determined nod to Mrs. Carmen, her fingers trembling only slightly as she placed them on the familiar keys. Then, with her playing it again, everyone began to sing.
With the last note fading away, Mya stood up and bowed. For a second, a silence hung in the air — then it was broken by warm, enthusiastic applause. She saw tears of joy in her great-grandmother’s eyes, and soft smiles on the faces of the other residents. The tight knot in her stomach loosened, replaced by a surprising, blossoming warmth. It wasn’t the scary experience she had imagined. In that moment, surrounded by their appreciation and her family’s pride, she realized her performance had created a shared happiness. A newfound confidence grew in her. Her fear had melted like snow, warmed by the very music she once feared to share.
【解析】
【导语】本文以 Mya 的经历为线索,讲述了 Mya 在钢琴学习中受到老师表扬,却因害怕当众表演拒绝了老师在商场表演的邀请。在周六参加曾祖母退休欢送会时,因原本弹奏《茉莉花》的人缺席,曾祖母推荐 Mya 表演,这让 Mya 陷入极度紧张与恐惧之中。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“迈娅刚想说自己做不到。”可知,第一段围绕 Mya 看到众人期待的表情,特别是曾祖母鼓励的微笑,回忆起与曾祖母练琴时光,从而鼓起勇气开始弹奏展开。
②由第二段首句内容“最后一个音符渐弱消散时,迈娅起身鞠躬。”可知,第二段续写体现 Mya 演奏结束后的场景。描述短暂沉默后响起热烈掌声,Mya 看到曾祖母眼中喜悦的泪水和其他居民的微笑,她内心的紧张消失,被温暖和自信取代,意识到表演带来了共同的快乐,恐惧也随之消散。
2续写线索:准备拒绝——受到鼓舞——鼓起勇气——带动大家唱歌——收获掌声——感受温暖——获得信心
