第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Our Earth is dotted with natural wonders of all sorts, so incredible yet real, each sharing the story of a particular destination.
Marble Chapels, Patagonia
The Capillas de Marmol, or Marble Chapels, are an absolute must-see when visiting Patagonia, Chile. The astonishing caves are located in the middle of General Carrera Lake, making them accessible only by boat. The arches inside are truly breathtaking, and even amateur photographers will have a great time capturing amazing shots here. Tourists for the best experience should plan their trip from December to early March, summer here, when the blue of the waters is enhanced by the sun.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
This spectacular coral reef is a paradise for nature lovers. It grants close encounters with over 1,500 species of tropical fish — glide (滑翔) above the light greenish-blue waters by helicopter to admire its vast beauty from a bird’s-eye view, or dive deep to explore coral gardens for an immersive adventure. These experiences impress tourists with its rich marine life and breathtaking scenery. Yet this global treasure also happens to be one of the most vulnerable (脆弱的). Climate change has caused extensive coral bleaching (白化). If such damage continues, over 90 percent of living coral will disappear in a decade.
Haleakala National Park, Hawaii
Haleakala offers plenty of scenic vistas, sparkling waterfalls, and endangered species sightings like the nēnē, the state bird. The top of the dormant volcano is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise. If you want to enjoy the splendid sunrise, you have to make a booking up to seven days in advance. And there is an extra $30 fee if you park your car here, but it’s valid for three days.
1. What makes summer the best time to visit the Marble Chapels?
A. Easier access to the caves.
B. Improved colour of the water.
C. Spectacular views inside the arches.
D. Better conditions for photography.
2. What can we know about the Great Barrier Reef?
A. It has banned all underwater activities.
B. It will lose most of its coral in a decade.
C. It is best appreciated from a bird’s-eye view.
D. It offers visitors amazing natural experiences.
3. What is required for visitors to see the Haleakala sunrise?
A. Paying a parking charge.
B Hiring a local guide.
C Making reservations ahead.
D. Carrying special equipment.
B
Born with rare eye conditions, I’m legally blind. I learned Braille (盲文) at four, rode my first wave at twelve, and now hike with my guide dog Isla — gaining independence that’s no easy achievement for a person living with blindness. “Vision isn’t the only way to experience the world,” I often laugh. Yet something as simple as a birthday card, a tradition most people take for granted, has often made me feel left out and disconnected — a sharp reminder of being overlooked.
Each year, I receive colorful birthday cards, decorated with balloons, flowers or cartoon animals. Inside are warm handwritten messages like “Shine bright, Karlee!” or “Another amazing year, you rock, darling!”, but I can only wait for someone else to read them to me. “It’s a small thing,” I admit, “yet each card seems to whisper, ‘This world isn’t made for you.’” Those cards, meant to be special souvenirs, became things I never connected with.
My 21st birthday changed everything. While excited about starting university and moving out, I received a card with raised Braille above the printed text. For the first time, I read a heartfelt message by myself, tears filling my eyes. “It wasn’t just a card,” I recall, “it felt like a key to the same world everyone else lives in.” Inspired, I contacted Guide Dogs Australia and suggested working with Hallmark, Co., Ltd. to create accessible birthday cards — including Braille, larger print and tactile (触觉的) designs. This would help not only me, but also elderly people with vision loss.
Now I test each new design, ensuring blind and low-vision people can share life’s celebrations. “A card might seem tiny,” I think, “but it carries love, memory and connection. Everyone, disabled or not, deserves to be included. When all can feel the warmth inside, the world grows a little wider — for all of us.”
4. What did the writer learn at four?
A. Reading through Braille.
B. Designing tactile cards.
C. Hiking with her guide dog.
D. Surfing waves confidently.
5 How did usual birthday cards make the writer feel?
A. Excited and loved.
B. Ignored and separated.
C. Connected and included.
D. Surprised and delighted.
6. What can be inferred from the writer’s suggestion to Guide Dogs Australia?
A. She aimed for commercial profit.
B. She recognized a need for inclusion.
C. She overlooked printed messages’ value.
D. She prioritized blind people’s requirements.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Art of Making Cards
B. A Business Success Story
C. The invisible Birthday Card
D. The Sound of Birthday Music
C
When I shopped for a car seven years ago, my primary focus was on style, size and color. This time, with electric vehicle (EV) popularity exploding, I had to master a whole new set of terms: range, regenerative braking, and level-two charging (充电). The reason was simple — I was buying my first EV.
Alan Taub, director of the Electric Vehicle Center at the University of Michigan, says that the drivability of EVs should be better marketed to potential buyers. He points out that EVs offer a smoother ride and better performance than traditional gas-powered cars and “happen to also be good for the environment.” This smoother ride is mainly because placing the battery at the bottom allows the car to better hug the road. And as the battery provides immediate power to the accelerator (加速器), EVs can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour surprisingly fast. Also, drivers need to apply the brake less frequently. Technological advances have largely overcome “range anxiety” — the fear of running out of battery power halfway. Today, over 50 EV models can top 300 miles on a single charge, some even beyond 500 miles. In addition, public charging stations have doubled in the past five years.
Scientifically, EVs help reduce global warming and improve air quality. The transport industry emits about one-third of global greenhouse gases. The International Energy Agency(IEA)estimates that if the 58 million EVs on the road had been gas-powered, they would have consumed much more oil per day. Research also shows that EVs are far more energy-efficient, with about 90% of their power used to move the vehicle, compared to only 25% for traditional cars. Moreover, EVs contain fewer moving parts, so the maintenance and repair costs of gas vehicles are nearly 40% higher than those of EVs.
There is much for first-time buyers like me to learn. But it continues to be tons of fun. I’m especially looking forward to the lower costs of owning and maintaining my EV in the years ahead, plus the joy of driving past all gas stations without stopping.
8. What primarily makes EVs’ ride smoother?
A. The instant acceleration.
B. The battery’s low position.
C. The high-capacity battery.
D. The effective braking system.
9. What does the term “range anxiety” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Worry about driving distances.
B. Stress from operating new cars.
C. Concern over charging availability.
D. Fear of facing high repair costs.
10. Why does the author list the data from the IEA in paragraph 3?
A. To stress EVs’ energy saving.
B. To predict EVs’ market trend.
C. To explain EVs’ working principle.
D. To show EVs’ growing popularity.
11. What is the advantage of EVs over traditional cars according to the passage?
A. More functions and greater safety.
B. Longer range and faster acceleration.
C. Simpler control and quicker response.
D. Greener technology and lower repair costs.
D
Do others agree with you? Do they remember events the same way you do? We often assume others share our perspectives, but how accurate is this assumption? More importantly, how can we foster shared understanding?
A critical issue lies in our poor ability to judge whether others hold similar memories, beliefs, and opinions with us. Actually, this is rooted in a psychological bias known as the False Consensus (共识) Effect: We assume that others agree with us more than they actually do. In a recent study, researchers tested how repetition influences people’s sense of consensus. Participants were given trivial (琐碎的) statements, some true, some false. When certain statements were repeated, people assumed more others knew and believed them, compared to statements heard only once.
This effect has substantial real-world consequences. For instance, most people accept that human activities like burning fossil fuels contribute to climate change and support government actions to address it. Yet, many people hold false beliefs about the consensus, underestimating public support for climate change actions, largely because they have been constantly exposed to statements questioning climate change and other misinformation. This exposure leads them to believe that many others are skeptical about it.
To counter the False Consensus Effect, openly voicing objections matters. People hear repeated statements but rarely encounter corrections or opposing views. Without these corrections, individuals may assume that the repeated statements are widely accepted, mistaking silence for agreement. But a correction can serve to break this false consensus. Sometimes, asking questions, whether in person or online, works better than arguing directly. Even seeing questions about a claim on social media can make people less certain that it is universally accepted.
Breaking the False Consensus Effect is crucial. When people encounter an idea repeatedly, they assume others believe it, which in turn influences their own belief. Simply challenging the idea can break this cycle. Therefore, don’t stay silent against false claims — speak up.
12. What is the False Consensus Effect?
A. The ignorance of public opinions.
B. The rejection of corrections from others.
C. The overestimation of others’ agreement.
D. The repetition of claims to persuade others.
13. What’s the purpose of the example given in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the cause of global warming.
B. To highlight public distrust of climate policies.
C. To present scientific evidence on climate issues.
D. To show misinformation’s impact on public views.
14. What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignore. B. Support.
C. Repeat. D. Oppose.
15. What is recommended to reduce the False Consensus Effect?
A. Expressing disagreement and questioning.
B. Minimizing exposure to controversial issues.
C. Remaining silent to maintain social harmony.
D. Repeating correct claims more than false ones.

What was school life like in Xinjiang in ancient times? A document, ____36____ (unearth) in 1969 from the tombs of Astana, holds the answer.

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。
One evening, we were having a family dinner at a nice restaurant — my husband Trevor, our twenty-two-year-old son Ryan, and my husband’s father Bob. Ever since his wife passed away five years ago, Bob had stuck with us everywhere we went. Suddenly, Bob turned to Ryan and asked, “Ryan, how much do you weigh now?” Struggling with his weight problem, Ryan answered in a low voice, “Two fifty.” Bob gave a low whistle and continued, “Two hundred and fifty pounds! Do you want to get married some day?” “Yeah,” Ryan murmured (嘟哝), wishing he were anywhere but here. But Bob didn’t stop. “What you need to do is find yourself an ugly girl. She’ll be so grateful that you asked her out that she won’t mind you’re fat.”
I stared in shock. Bob had always been frank, even rude at times, but this was too much. I was about to say something when my husband signaled me not to argue with his father. Tight-lipped, I nodded unwillingly.
The rest of the evening dragged on. Suddenly, Bob remarked that I was also gaining some extra weight. I nodded in agreement, secretly relieved that the focus had shifted away from Ryan. I was willing to be the target of Bob’s remarks as it kept my son from being further embarrassed.
On the way home, I asked Trevor to drop me off first before taking his father home, because I couldn’t bear being in Bob’s company a moment longer. The moment the car disappeared around the corner, I apologized to Ryan immediately. “It’s okay, Mom,” he said. “That’s just how Grandpa is. I’m already over it.” “But aren’t you angry?” I asked in disbelief. “Being angry won’t change Grandpa and it won’t make me feel better either.”
He was right. At just twenty-two years old, he possessed far more emotional and spiritual maturity than I did. I had spent years trying to shake off my negative thinking, yet my son, so young, already understood the importance of forgiveness. Undoubtedly, he became a role model for me.
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。
Weeks later, Bob’s birthday came around.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Touched, Bob looked at his grandson and fell into a rare silence.

Born with rare eye conditions, I’m legally blind. I learned Braille (盲文) at four, rode my first wave at twelve, and now hike with my guide dog Isla — gaining independence that’s no easy achievement for a person living with blindness. “Vision isn’t the only way to experience the world,” I often laugh. Yet something as simple as a birthday card, a tradition most people take for granted, has often made me feel left out and disconnected — a sharp reminder of being overlooked.
Each year, I receive colorful birthday cards, decorated with balloons, flowers or cartoon animals. Inside are warm handwritten messages like “Shine bright, Karlee!” or “Another amazing year, you rock, darling!”, but I can only wait for someone else to read them to me. “It’s a small thing,” I admit, “yet each card seems to whisper, ‘This world isn’t made for you.’” Those cards, meant to be special souvenirs, became things I never connected with.
My 21st birthday changed everything. While excited about starting university and moving out, I received a card with raised Braille above the printed text. For the first time, I read a heartfelt message by myself, tears filling my eyes. “It wasn’t just a card,” I recall, “it felt like a key to the same world everyone else lives in.” Inspired, I contacted Guide Dogs Australia and suggested working with Hallmark, Co., Ltd. to create accessible birthday cards — including Braille, larger print and tactile (触觉的) designs. This would help not only me, but also elderly people with vision loss.
Now I test each new design, ensuring blind and low-vision people can share life’s celebrations. “A card might seem tiny,” I think, “but it carries love, memory and connection. Everyone, disabled or not, deserves to be included. When all can feel the warmth inside, the world grows a little wider — for all of us.”
4. What did the writer learn at four?
A. Reading through Braille.
B. Designing tactile cards.
C. Hiking with her guide dog.
D. Surfing waves confidently.
5. How did usual birthday cards make the writer feel?
A. Excited and loved.
B. Ignored and separated.
C. Connected and included.
D. Surprised and delighted.
6. What can be inferred from the writer’s suggestion to Guide Dogs Australia?
A. She aimed for commercial profit.
B. She recognized a need for inclusion.
C. She overlooked printed messages’ value.
D. She prioritized blind people’s requirements.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Art of Making Cards
B. A Business Success Story
C. The invisible Birthday Card
D. The Sound of Birthday Music
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C

When I shopped for a car seven years ago, my primary focus was on style, size and color. This time, with electric vehicle (EV) popularity exploding, I had to master a whole new set of terms: range, regenerative braking, and level-two charging (充电). The reason was simple — I was buying my first EV.
Alan Taub, director of the Electric Vehicle Center at the University of Michigan, says that the drivability of EVs should be better marketed to potential buyers. He points out that EVs offer a smoother ride and better performance than traditional gas-powered cars and “happen to also be good for the environment.” This smoother ride is mainly because placing the battery at the bottom allows the car to better hug the road. And as the battery provides immediate power to the accelerator (加速器), EVs can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour surprisingly fast. Also, drivers need to apply the brake less frequently. Technological advances have largely overcome “range anxiety” — the fear of running out of battery power halfway. Today, over 50 EV models can top 300 miles on a single charge, some even beyond 500 miles. In addition, public charging stations have doubled in the past five years.
Scientifically, EVs help reduce global warming and improve air quality. The transport industry emits about one-third of global greenhouse gases. The International Energy Agency(IEA)estimates that if the 58 million EVs on the road had been gas-powered, they would have consumed much more oil per day. Research also shows that EVs are far more energy-efficient, with about 90% of their power used to move the vehicle, compared to only 25% for traditional cars. Moreover, EVs contain fewer moving parts, so the maintenance and repair costs of gas vehicles are nearly 40% higher than those of EVs.
There is much for first-time buyers like me to learn. But it continues to be tons of fun. I’m especially looking forward to the lower costs of owning and maintaining my EV in the years ahead, plus the joy of driving past all gas stations without stopping.
8. What primarily makes EVs’ ride smoother?
A. The instant acceleration.
B. The battery’s low position.
C. The high-capacity battery.
D. The effective braking system.
9. What does the term “range anxiety” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Worry about driving distances.
B. Stress from operating new cars.
C. Concern over charging availability.
D. Fear of facing high repair costs.
10. Why does the author list the data from the IEA in paragraph 3?
A. To stress EVs’ energy saving.
B. To predict EVs’ market trend.
C. To explain EVs’ working principle.
D. To show EVs’ growing popularity.
11. What is the advantage of EVs over traditional cars according to the passage?
A. More functions and greater safety.
B. Longer range and faster acceleration.
C. Simpler control and quicker response.
D. Greener technology and lower repair costs.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientifically, EVs help reduce global warming and improve air quality.(从科学角度来看,电动汽车有助于减缓全球变暖并改善空气质量)”以及“Moreover, EVs contain fewer moving parts, so the maintenance and repair costs of gas vehicles are nearly 40% higher than those of EVs.(此外,电动汽车的活动部件较少,因此燃油汽车的维护和修理成本比电动汽车高出近40%)”可知,电动汽车相较于传统汽车,具有更环保的技术和更低的维修成本。故选D项。

Do others agree with you? Do they remember events the same way you do? We often assume others share our perspectives, but how accurate is this assumption? More importantly, how can we foster shared understanding?
A critical issue lies in our poor ability to judge whether others hold similar memories, beliefs, and opinions with us. Actually, this is rooted in a psychological bias known as the False Consensus (共识) Effect: We assume that others agree with us more than they actually do. In a recent study, researchers tested how repetition influences people’s sense of consensus. Participants were given trivial (琐碎的) statements, some true, some false. When certain statements were repeated, people assumed more others knew and believed them, compared to statements heard only once.
This effect has substantial real-world consequences. For instance, most people accept that human activities like burning fossil fuels contribute to climate change and support government actions to address it. Yet, many people hold false beliefs about the consensus, underestimating public support for climate change actions, largely because they have been constantly exposed to statements questioning climate change and other misinformation. This exposure leads them to believe that many others are skeptical about it.
To counter the False Consensus Effect, openly voicing objections matters. People hear repeated statements but rarely encounter corrections or opposing views. Without these corrections, individuals may assume that the repeated statements are widely accepted, mistaking silence for agreement. But a correction can serve to break this false consensus. Sometimes, asking questions, whether in person or online, works better than arguing directly. Even seeing questions about a claim on social media can make people less certain that it is universally accepted.
Breaking the False Consensus Effect is crucial. When people encounter an idea repeatedly, they assume others believe it, which in turn influences their own belief. Simply challenging the idea can break this cycle. Therefore, don’t stay silent against false claims — speak up.
12. What is the False Consensus Effect?
A. The ignorance of public opinions.
B. The rejection of corrections from others.
C. The overestimation of others’ agreement.
D. The repetition of claims to persuade others.
13. What’s the purpose of the example given in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the cause of global warming.
B. To highlight public distrust of climate policies.
C. To present scientific evidence on climate issues.
D. To show misinformation’s impact on public views.
14. What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignore. B. Support.
C. Repeat. D. Oppose.
15. What is recommended to reduce the False Consensus Effect?
A. Expressing disagreement and questioning.
B. Minimizing exposure to controversial issues.
C. Remaining silent to maintain social harmony.
D. Repeating correct claims more than false ones.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍虚假共识效应的定义、相关研究,以及它在现实中的影响,并给出应对这种效应的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Actually, this is rooted in a psychological bias known as the False Consensus (共识) Effect: We assume that others agree with us more than they actually do.(事实上,这源于一种被称为虚假共识效应的心理偏见:我们认为别人比实际上更同意我们的观点)”可知,虚假共识效应指的是我们高估了别人对自己观点的认同程度。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet, many people hold false beliefs about the consensus, underestimating public support for climate change actions, largely because they have been constantly exposed to statements questioning climate change and other misinformation. This exposure leads them to believe that many others are skeptical about it.(然而,许多人对这种共识持有错误的看法,低估了公众对气候变化行动的支持,这主要是因为他们不断接触到质疑气候变化的言论和其他错误信息。这种接触让他们认为,许多其他人也对此持怀疑态度)”可知,该段举例是为了说明错误信息会影响公众的看法,导致人们产生虚假共识。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“People hear repeated statements but rarely encounter corrections or opposing views. Without these corrections, individuals may assume that the repeated statements are widely accepted, mistaking silence for agreement. But a correction can serve to break this false consensus.(人们听到重复的陈述,但很少遇到纠正或反对的观点。没有这些纠正,个人可能会认为重复的陈述被广泛接受,将沉默误认为是同意。但一次纠正可以打破这种虚假共识)”可知,后文介绍的是打破虚假共识效应的方法,由此猜测划线词counter意为“反对、应对”,与oppose意思相近。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To counter the False Consensus Effect, openly voicing objections matters.(为了应对虚假共识效应,公开表达反对意见很重要)”以及“Sometimes, asking questions, whether in person or online, works better than arguing directly.(有时,无论是当面还是在网上提问,都比直接争论效果更好)”可知,文章建议通过表达不同意见和提问来减少虚假共识效应。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述1969年新疆阿斯塔那古墓出土的唐代学生卜天寿的卷轴,记录当时课业与童趣,还为儒学研究提供资料,印证唐代新疆教育受中原文化影响且体系完备。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1969年从阿斯塔那古墓中出土的一份文献给出了答案。此空考查非谓语,document与unearth为被动关系,再由语境可知,这里应用过去分词作后置定语。故填unearthed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这幅5米长的卷轴,是公元710年唐代十二岁的学子卜天寿所用,用以誊抄郑玄为《论语》和《千字文》所作的注疏 —— 这两部典籍在当时都是学子的指定必读书目。这里考查固定搭配be used to do sth.,意为“被用来做某事”,符合语境。故填to reproduce。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这幅5米长的卷轴,是公元710年唐代十二岁的学子卜天寿所用,用以誊抄郑玄为《论语》和《千字文》所作的注疏 —— 这两部典籍在当时都是学子的指定必读书目。这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词为Zheng Xuan’s annotations,指物,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:有意思的是,卜天寿还在自己的作业末尾附了一首俏皮的打油诗:“功课皆完,先生!可否准点放学,让我们早些归家?” 分析句子结构可知,这里考查固定搭配attach...to...,意为“把……附在……上”,符合语境。故填to。
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:这首小诗让这幅卷轴变得生动许多,诗中天真的诉求直至今日仍触动着我们,也让我们想起,彼时的孩子同如今一样,是何等热切地期盼着放学的时刻。much修饰形容词比较级,lively的比较级为livelier。故填livelier。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这首小诗让这幅卷轴变得生动许多,诗中天真的诉求直至今日仍触动着我们,也让我们想起,彼时的孩子同如今一样,是何等热切地期盼着放学的时刻。此空考查非谓语,its innocent request与remind为主动关系,再由语境可知,应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填reminding。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从文献学角度来看,郑玄的注释在唐朝后失传。这里泛指表示“从一个……角度来看”,且philological以辅音音素开头。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但卜天寿的抄本和其他出土文献为儒家经典研究提供了宝贵资料。修饰名词material,用value的形容词形式valuable,表“宝贵的”,符合语境。故填valuable。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:此外,现存的大多数学生抄写的郑玄注释副本表明,当时新疆的教育受中原文化影响。most后接可数名词复数,copy的复数为copies。故填copies。
【45题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:此外,现存的大多数学生抄写的郑玄注释副本表明,当时新疆的教育受中原文化影响。此空考查谓语动词,education与influence为被动关系,且这里描述过去的情况,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数。故填was influenced。

【答案】Dear Fiki,
I’m truly excited about your environmental initiative themed Small Steps, Big Changes.
I’d like to propose a “Class Recycling Corner” program. We can place separate bins in each classroom for paper, plastic bottles and used batteries, and assign a weekly “recycling monitor” to remind everyone to sort properly. Students can sort their waste before throwing it away.
This is easy to carry out and can raise our awareness of waste classification. Moreover, the recycled materials can be turned into useful items, reducing resource waste. Small as it is, it can make a big difference to our campus environment.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
One evening, we were having a family dinner at a nice restaurant — my husband Trevor, our twenty-two-year-old son Ryan, and my husband’s father Bob. Ever since his wife passed away five years ago, Bob had stuck with us everywhere we went. Suddenly, Bob turned to Ryan and asked, “Ryan, how much do you weigh now?” Struggling with his weight problem, Ryan answered in a low voice, “Two fifty.” Bob gave a low whistle and continued, “Two hundred and fifty pounds! Do you want to get married some day?” “Yeah,” Ryan murmured (嘟哝), wishing he were anywhere but here. But Bob didn’t stop. “What you need to do is find yourself an ugly girl. She’ll be so grateful that you asked her out that she won’t mind you’re fat.”
I stared in shock. Bob had always been frank, even rude at times, but this was too much. I was about to say something when my husband signaled me not to argue with his father. Tight-lipped, I nodded unwillingly.
The rest of the evening dragged on. Suddenly, Bob remarked that I was also gaining some extra weight. I nodded in agreement, secretly relieved that the focus had shifted away from Ryan. I was willing to be the target of Bob’s remarks as it kept my son from being further embarrassed.
On the way home, I asked Trevor to drop me off first before taking his father home, because I couldn’t bear being in Bob’s company a moment longer. The moment the car disappeared around the corner, I apologized to Ryan immediately. “It’s okay, Mom,” he said. “That’s just how Grandpa is. I’m already over it.” “But aren’t you angry?” I asked in disbelief. “Being angry won’t change Grandpa and it won’t make me feel better either.”
He was right. At just twenty-two years old, he possessed far more emotional and spiritual maturity than I did. I had spent years trying to shake off my negative thinking, yet my son, so young, already understood the importance of forgiveness. Undoubtedly, he became a role model for me.
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。
Weeks later, Bob’s birthday came around.

Touched, Bob looked at his grandson and fell into a rare silence.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Weeks later, Bob’s birthday came around. Ryan surprised everyone by organizing a small family gathering. As Ryan handed the carefully wrapped gift to his grandfather, his eyes shone with a warmth that seemed to melt the tension in the room. He baked a healthy carrot cake — his first attempt at cooking — and decorated the table with photos of Bob and his late wife. When Bob made his usual blunt remarks about the cake’s appearance, Ryan simply smiled and said, “Grandpa, I made it with less sugar, just for you. Happy birthday.”
Touched, Bob looked at his grandson and fell into a rare silence. His eyes glistened as he stared at the cake, then at Ryan. For the first time in years, Bob’s sharp tongue softened. “You’re a good kid,” he muttered, his voice uncharacteristically gentle. Later, he even thanked Ryan privately, admitting, “Maybe I’ve been too hard on you.” That night, Ryan’s quiet kindness bridged the gap between them, proving that love, not criticism, heals wounds.
