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
The fashion industry significantly influences our environment, from major international events to daily clothing. The chart below reveals the hidden environmental cost of fashion weeks last year. These estimates are conservative, as they only include travel emissions from designers and buyers, not other participants.
But the problem is much bigger than these events. Fast fashion encourages people to treat clothes as disposable. Clothes stores change their product ranges every few weeks, generating a constant production cycle that causes significant damage to nature. To understand the true cost, we can look at a common item: a pair of jeans.
Overall the industry accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions (排放) and 20% of water pollution, leading the UN to declare an “environmental emergency.” In response, a shift is beginning. For major fashion events, new formats combining virtual platforms and real-life elements aim to reduce the carbon footprint of global travel. Beyond the runway, a new initiative is taking shape. The expanding influence of online communication helps raise sustainability awareness, encouraging mindful consumption and driving industry change.
1. Which fashion week had the most serious environmental impact?
A. Milan. B. London. C. Paris. D. New York.
2. What is the minimum amount of water required in processing a pair of jeans?
A. 1000 liters. B. 2000 liters. C. 3000 liters. D. 3010 liters.
3. What change is the fashion industry experiencing regarding sustainability?
A. Reducing event scales. B. Employing digital power.
C. Seeking policy support. D. Using cheaper materials.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了时尚产业对环境的影响。

Growing up in Campana, my father’s workshop felt like a magical world. The smell of metal, the sound of machines, and his work-worn clothes left a deep impression on me. It was there that I learned to turn discarded (丢弃的) car parts into toys that fueled my childhood adventures.
Now I’m a PE teacher. I’ve brought my childhood love of creation into the classroom by building metal models that show how the human body moves in sports — all without using electricity. These moving sculptures have become my teaching tools, demonstrating complex motions in slow, easy-to-see detail. Over time, my creations have grown: from a skate model to El Dibu Martinez’s famous World Cup save, from a metal rock band to a wheeled dinosaur. Each piece reflects the beauty of movement.
At school, I used to notice students always staring at their phones during breaks. But things changed when they became engaged with my projects. One memorable activity was when we made small boats from metal sheets and tested whether they would float in water-filled containers. In that moment, the screens were forgotten, replaced by the excitement of discovery.
Another meaningful project came when a mother asked me to adapt a prosthetic (假体的) arm for her son Juan. Using just a simple plastic bucket, I created a working design. The moment Juan wore the arm, he began picking things up and handing them to me. We laughed together to celebrate the amazing moment.
To support these projects, my weekly routine now includes searching for materials in garbage dumps. With a limited budget, this is still necessary. But I see a bright side. We’re not only saving resources but also giving new life to discarded materials in creative ways.
Sometimes the smell of metal takes me back to my father’s workshop. I realize that what he gave me was more than skills — it was a way of seeing the world not as it is, but as it could be.
4. Why does the author build metal models?
A. To amuse students in their free time. B. To sharpen his metalworking ability.
C. To demonstrate his artistic creativity. D. To explain sports movements clearly.

Walking through major cities around the world people often feel a sense of uniformity. Tall glass buildings, international coffee chains and shopping malls on every corner are replacing the streets that once defined each city’s character. This trend raises an important question: how can cities keep their distinct identities?
Several factors contribute to this growing uniformity. Global chains spread widely due to globalization, allowing successful business models to expand elsewhere. While they bring jobs, reliability, and economic benefits, their dominance reduces local diversity and character. Modern urban planning also contributes, often favoring traffic flow and large commercial projects over historic areas. Together, many cities become increasingly uniform and lose the features that once defined them.
Experts describe this as the rise of “clone towns.” A study by the UK’s New Economics Foundation (NEF) found that many towns in Britain had lost their character due to the dominance of chain stores. The problem goes far beyond the same appearance. “When independent local shops disappear, money flows out of the community instead of staying locally, making jobs less secure. Moreover, a city without diversity in its economy and culture may struggle in times of crisis, revealing the weakness of clone towns beneath their modern surfaces,” said Andrew Simms, the policy director of NEF.
Certainly, the solution is not just to remove chains. Cities need wiser growth, protecting historic areas, reusing old buildings, and supporting local businesses. Projects like Shanghai’s “New Columbia Circle” turned an old research site into a lively space that mixes history with modern use. This shows that community-led efforts, such as local markets and cultural networks, can also help towns build stronger, self-sufficient and diverse economies.
Ultimately, cities are living systems. The goal is not to reject modernity but to guide growth wisely. It takes cooperation between planners, companies, and citizens to create cities that are strong, stable, and full of character.
8. What can we learn about major cities from paragraph 1?
A. They are becoming globally interconnected.
B. They are losing their unique characteristics.
C. They prioritize beauty over convenience.
D. They offer limited common space.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The expansion of chain stores. B. The benefits of commercial development.
C. The causes of city uniformity. D. The protection of historic neighborhoods.
10. What can be inferred from Andrew Simms’ words?
A. Local stores are more reliable employers.
B. Independent stores are difficult to manage.
C. Clone towns tend to have a fragile economy.
D. Chain stores provide better customer service.
11. Why does the author mention Shanghai’s “New Columbia Circle”?
A. To show a model of an eco-friendly city.
B. To illustrate the concept of clone towns.
C. To emphasize the role of local government.
D. To present an example of smart development.

Each year, more than 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This process consumes vast amounts of energy and natural resources, while also generating huge quantities of electronic waste, as people often replace perfectly functional devices every few years. To address this challenge, researchers have proposed a new approach — repurposing old phones into small-scale data centers for practical use.
“Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber, an associate professor at MIT. The research team showed that outdated smartphones can be effectively transformed into tiny data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also discovered that building such a system is surprisingly inexpensive — about 8 euros per device — making it a highly affordable solution.
In their experiment, the scientists carefully removed the batteries to avoid chemical leakage and connected four old phones using 3D- printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments. One successful trial involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically recorded and analyzed marine species — a task that usually requires divers. With this new device, the entire process could be done automatically underwater.
These repurposed devices hold promise for a wide range of smart city applications. For instance, they could be installed (安装) at bus stops to monitor passenger flow and help urban planners optimize transportation schedules and routes, making public transport run more smoothly and reducing waiting time for passengers. This method not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities.
“This is a smart, green rethink of our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not only about protecting the future — it is about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities,” added Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With modest investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste.
12. What is a feature of the new approach mentioned?
A. It is cost-effective. B. It is data-based.
C. It is business-driven. D. It is skill-intensive.
13. What does the underwater trial show?
A. The risks of underwater tasks.
B. The necessity of innovative tools.
C. The challenges of ocean research.
D. The practicality of the new device.
14. What does the underlined word “optimize” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Improve. B. Observe. C. Cancel. D. Expand.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Electronic Engineering: An Eco-Digital Guide
B. Repurposing Old Phones: A Green Solution
C. The Problem of Global Smartphone Waste
D. The Sustainability of Smart City Development
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B

Improve改善;B. Observe观察;C. Cancel取消;D. Expand扩大。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“To address this challenge, researchers have proposed a new approach — repurposing old phones into small-scale data centers for practical use.(为了应对这一挑战,研究人员提出了一种新方法——将旧手机重新利用为小型数据中心,供实际使用。)”以及最后一段中“With modest investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste.(通过适度的投资和创造性思维,过时的技术可以服务于新的目的,有助于构建更绿色的数字社会,同时帮助解决日益严重的电子垃圾问题。)”可知,文章主要讲述了将旧手机改造成小型数据中心这一新方法,此方法既经济又环保,还能助力智慧城市应用并减少电子垃圾,所以“Repurposing Old Phones: A Green Solution(旧手机重新利用:一种绿色解决方案)”作为标题最合适。故选B。
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。
In my backpack, there is always a waterproof paper map. ____16____ Instead, it is my main tool for navigating (导航).
I have tried digital devices and set precise points on my GPS watch. But every time I use it, I feel a strange distance. ____17____ It reduces the land into simple lines and dots, while the real wilderness is full of details and textures (肌理). Unfolding a paper map feels more engaging. I trace the lines with my fingers and match the symbols to the rivers I see in the distance. I am not being guided passively. I am actively building my own understanding of the land.
____18____ A screen tells you: “You are here and follow this line.” But a map asks you: “Where are you? What surrounds you? How will you move through this place?” When I stare at a blinking dot on a screen, I seem to forget the sunlight, the wind, and the sounds of the forest. But with a paper map, I watch, think, and most importantly, engage fully with the environment.
A paper map turns every step into a conversation with nature. ____19____ I remember once getting lost on a mountain path. I stopped, spread out my map, and tried to match what I saw around me with the details on the map. Slowly, the landmarks began to line up, and the landscape started to make sense again.
Of course, I value safety. My GPS watch is always with me. I reserve it for emergency, but the paper map gives me something more: the memory of finding my way. ____20____.
So next time you go into the wild, bring a paper map. Let your eyes, hands, and mind explore, get lost, and discover the land on your own terms.
A. It is not just a silent backup.
B. It is like reading an over-simplified world.
C. They never run out of battery, which is a relief.
D. Even losing my way enhances this connection.
E. I sometimes wonder what it really means to navigate.
F. I learn to trust my own judgement rather than the map.
G. And I will always appreciate the patience and self-trust it builds.

【答案】
A Campus Upgrade Tip
I would like to put forward a proposal for campus upgrading, namely the establishment of Book Corners in the school corridors.
Specifically, delicate bookshelves could be installed at the corners of each floor’s corridor. These shelves could be stocked with a diverse range of reading materials including storybooks, science magazines and classic novels. Students could drop by during breaks or after school, enjoying a quiet space to unwind from heavy studies. Not only will these corners encourage us to read regularly, but they will also add cultural charm to our campus, fostering a stronger reading atmosphere.
I am looking forward to seeing these reading corners come to life.
A Campus Upgrade Tip
I would like to propose adding corner culture walls in the corridors.
We can place them at the L-shaped corners of corridors on each floor. As for design, one section can display students’ calligraphy, paintings and short essays about campus life; another can share quotes from famous scholars or essential knowledge points. Besides, a small interactive area can be designed, where students post notes sharing insights into personal growth or study tips. Such culture walls will not only refresh the corridor’s look but also let students experience the cultural charm of the campus in daily walks.
I truly believe these corner culture walls will bring fresh vitality to our campus.

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。
Tom placed the newspaper on the table, but the action felt as heavy as a burden. Mary watched her father’s shoulders sink. She took a quick look at the headline: Go for the City Marathon.
Tom had run every City Marathon for twenty-three years in a row. This year, after a routine health check, his doctor’s quiet “No marathons” changed everything.
When Mary asked why skipping just one race hurt so much, Tom shook his head and said it wasn’t just the race. He didn’t explain further.
Mary thought she knew why. For as long as she could remember, her father had trained hard for the event each year. When she was old enough, Tom took her along, always encouraging her: “You can do it.” As she grew older, she stopped running, and those shared moments slipped away. Yet she still remembered the look of accomplishment (成就) on his face after every finish. The marathon was like an annual ritual that kept fueling his ordinary life.
The next morning at the table, Mary told Tom she would join the City Marathon. When she added, “And maybe you can coach me,” she caught a flash of brightness in his eyes.
“Deal,” he said.
Training began the next day. Since Tom was not allowed to run, he brought out his old red motorcycle and became Mary’s moving guide. He planned routes through the quiet roads near their home: first five kilometers, then ten, then fifteen. He shouted numbers over the engine’s noise, threw her water bottles like in a relay, and stuck paper flags on mailboxes: I am strong. I am fast. I am determined. These were the same slogans (口号) he once used to encourage himself. Now, they cheered Mary on.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
The training was tough.

Finally, the big day came.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The training was tough. Mary’s muscles ached after each session, and there were moments she wanted to quit. But seeing her father’s unwavering support kept her going. Tom adjusted his coaching methods, carefully monitoring her progress while ensuring she didn’t overexert herself. He even mapped out a special route through the park where they used to run together, filling the journey with nostalgic stories of past races. Slowly, Mary’s endurance improved, and the pain turned into pride.
Finally, the big day came. The streets were packed with runners. Tom waited at the starting line, his eyes shining with pride as he handed Mary a small token for good luck. The race was grueling, but every time she felt like slowing down, she remembered his words: “You can do it.” Crossing the finish line, she turned to see Tom waving excitedly from the sidelines. In that moment, she realized the marathon wasn’t just about running — it was about carrying forward the legacy of perseverance and love they had built together.
【解析】

第二部分 阅读(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
The fashion industry significantly influences our environment, from major international events to daily clothing. The chart below reveals the hidden environmental cost of fashion weeks last year. These estimates are conservative, as they only include travel emissions from designers and buyers, not other participants.
But the problem is much bigger than these events. Fast fashion encourages people to treat clothes as disposable. Clothes stores change their product ranges every few weeks, generating a constant production cycle that causes significant damage to nature. To understand the true cost, we can look at a common item: a pair of jeans.
Overall, the industry accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions (排放) and 20% of water pollution, leading the UN to declare an “environmental emergency.” In response, a shift is beginning. For major fashion events, new formats combining virtual platforms and real-life elements aim to reduce the carbon footprint of global travel. Beyond the runway, a new initiative is taking shape. The expanding influence of online communication helps raise sustainability awareness, encouraging mindful consumption and driving industry change.
1. Which fashion week had the most serious environmental impact?
A. Milan. B. London. C. Paris. D. New York.
2. What is the minimum amount of water required in processing a pair of jeans?
A. 1000 liters. B. 2000 liters. C. 3000 liters. D. 3010 liters.
3. What change is the fashion industry experiencing regarding sustainability?
A. Reducing event scales. B. Employing digital power.
C. Seeking policy support. D. Using cheaper materials.
B
Growing up in Campana, my father’s workshop felt like a magical world. The smell of metal, the sound of machines, and his work-worn clothes left a deep impression on me. It was there that I learned to turn discarded (丢弃的) car parts into toys that fueled my childhood adventures.
Now I’m a PE teacher. I’ve brought my childhood love of creation into the classroom by building metal models that show how the human body moves in sports — all without using electricity. These moving sculptures have become my teaching tools, demonstrating complex motions in slow, easy-to-see detail. Over time, my creations have grown: from a skate model to El Dibu Martinez’s famous World Cup save, from a metal rock band to a wheeled dinosaur. Each piece reflects the beauty of movement.
At school, I used to notice students always staring at their phones during breaks. But things changed when they became engaged with my projects. One memorable activity was when we made small boats from metal sheets and tested whether they would float in water-filled containers. In that moment, the screens were forgotten, replaced by the excitement of discovery.
Another meaningful project came when a mother asked me to adapt a prosthetic (假体的) arm for her son Juan. Using just a simple plastic bucket, I created a working design. The moment Juan wore the arm, he began picking things up and handing them to me. We laughed together to celebrate the amazing moment.
To support these projects, my weekly routine now includes searching for materials in garbage dumps. With a limited budget, this is still necessary. But I see a bright side. We’re not only saving resources but also giving new life to discarded materials in creative ways.
Sometimes the smell of metal takes me back to my father’s workshop. I realize that what he gave me was more than skills — it was a way of seeing the world not as it is, but as it could be.
4. Why does the author build metal models?
A. To amuse students in their free time. B. To sharpen his metalworking ability.
C. To demonstrate his artistic creativity. D. To explain sports movements clearly.
5 What can be inferred about the author’s teaching approach?
A. He values theoretical knowledge. B. He prioritizes hands-on activities.
C. He emphasizes competitive sports. D. He relies on advanced technology.
6. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Skilled and ambitious. B. Practical and strict.
C. Caring and resourceful. D. Talented and humorous.
7. What is the father’s impact on the author?
A. He inspired a unique worldview. B. He encouraged him to be a teacher.
C. He passed down his love for sports. D. He shaped his habit of saving money.
C
Walking through major cities around the world, people often feel a sense of uniformity. Tall glass buildings, international coffee chains and shopping malls on every corner are replacing the streets that once defined each city’s character. This trend raises an important question: how can cities keep their distinct identities?
Several factors contribute to this growing uniformity. Global chains spread widely due to globalization, allowing successful business models to expand elsewhere. While they bring jobs, reliability, and economic benefits, their dominance reduces local diversity and character. Modern urban planning also contributes, often favoring traffic flow and large commercial projects over historic areas. Together, many cities become increasingly uniform and lose the features that once defined them.
Experts describe this as the rise of “clone towns.” A study by the UK’s New Economics Foundation (NEF) found that many towns in Britain had lost their character due to the dominance of chain stores. The problem goes far beyond the same appearance. “When independent local shops disappear, money flows out of the community instead of staying locally, making jobs less secure. Moreover, a city without diversity in its economy and culture may struggle in times of crisis, revealing the weakness of clone towns beneath their modern surfaces,” said Andrew Simms, the policy director of NEF.
Certainly, the solution is not just to remove chains. Cities need wiser growth, protecting historic areas, reusing old buildings, and supporting local businesses. Projects like Shanghai’s “New Columbia Circle” turned an old research site into a lively space that mixes history with modern use. This shows that community-led efforts, such as local markets and cultural networks, can also help towns build stronger, self-sufficient and diverse economies.
Ultimately, cities are living systems. The goal is not to reject modernity but to guide growth wisely. It takes cooperation between planners, companies, and citizens to create cities that are strong, stable, and full of character.
8. What can we learn about major cities from paragraph 1?
A. They are becoming globally interconnected.
B. They are losing their unique characteristics.
C. They prioritize beauty over convenience.
D. They offer limited common space.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The expansion of chain stores. B. The benefits of commercial development.
C. The causes of city uniformity. D. The protection of historic neighborhoods.
10. What can be inferred from Andrew Simms’ words?
A. Local stores are more reliable employers.
B. Independent stores are difficult to manage.
C. Clone towns tend to have a fragile economy.
D. Chain stores provide better customer service.
11. Why does the author mention Shanghai’s “New Columbia Circle”?
A. To show a model of an eco-friendly city.
B. To illustrate the concept of clone towns.
C To emphasize the role of local government.
D. To present an example of smart development.
D
Each year, more than 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This process consumes vast amounts of energy and natural resources, while also generating huge quantities of electronic waste, as people often replace perfectly functional devices every few years. To address this challenge, researchers have proposed a new approach — repurposing old phones into small-scale data centers for practical use.
“Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber, an associate professor at MIT. The research team showed that outdated smartphones can be effectively transformed into tiny data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also discovered that building such a system is surprisingly inexpensive — about 8 euros per device — making it a highly affordable solution.
In their experiment, the scientists carefully removed the batteries to avoid chemical leakage and connected four old phones using 3D- printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments. One successful trial involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically recorded and analyzed marine species — a task that usually requires divers. With this new device, the entire process could be done automatically underwater.
These repurposed devices hold promise for a wide range of smart city applications. For instance, they could be installed (安装) at bus stops to monitor passenger flow and help urban planners optimize transportation schedules and routes, making public transport run more smoothly and reducing waiting time for passengers. This method not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities.
“This is a smart, green rethink of our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not only about protecting the future — it is about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities,” added Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With modest investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste.
12 What is a feature of the new approach mentioned?
A. It is cost-effective. B. It is data-based.
C. It is business-driven. D. It is skill-intensive.
13. What does the underwater trial show?
A. The risks of underwater tasks.
B. The necessity of innovative tools.
C The challenges of ocean research.
D. The practicality of the new device.
14. What does the underlined word “optimize” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Improve. B. Observe. C. Cancel. D. Expand.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Electronic Engineering: An Eco-Digital Guide
B. Repurposing Old Phones: A Green Solution
C. The Problem of Global Smartphone Waste
D. The Sustainability of Smart City Development

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。
In my backpack, there is always a waterproof paper map. ____16____ Instead, it is my main tool for navigating (导航).
I have tried digital devices and set precise points on my GPS watch. But every time I use it, I feel a strange distance. ____17____ It reduces the land into simple lines and dots, while the real wilderness is full of details and textures (肌理). Unfolding a paper map feels more engaging. I trace the lines with my fingers and match the symbols to the rivers I see in the distance. I am not being guided passively. I am actively building my own understanding of the land.
____18____ A screen tells you: “You are here and follow this line.” But a map asks you: “Where are you? What surrounds you? How will you move through this place?” When I stare at a blinking dot on a screen, I seem to forget the sunlight, the wind, and the sounds of the forest. But with a paper map, I watch, think, and most importantly, engage fully with the environment.
A paper map turns every step into a conversation with nature. ____19____ I remember once getting lost on a mountain path. I stopped, spread out my map, and tried to match what I saw around me with the details on the map. Slowly, the landmarks began to line up, and the landscape started to make sense again.
Of course, I value safety. My GPS watch is always with me. I reserve it for emergency, but the paper map gives me something more: the memory of finding my way. ____20____.
So next time you go into the wild, bring a paper map. Let your eyes, hands, and mind explore, get lost, and discover the land on your own terms.
A. It is not just a silent backup.
B. It is like reading an over-simplified world.
C. They never run out of battery, which is a relief.
D. Even losing my way enhances this connection.
E. I sometimes wonder what it really means to navigate.
F. I learn to trust my own judgement rather than the map.
G. And I will always appreciate the patience and self-trust it builds.

The words settled deep within me. As a psychologist and parent, I ____24____ this urge too well. There has been a lot of parent shaming and ____25____ nowadays, creating a sense that every parent is potentially going to be ____26____. It makes sense for someone facing judgment to prepare their ____27____ for the defense as early as possible. How often had I, too, ____28____ my social media posts to prove my children’s happiness — and my own worth?
But photos capture (捕捉) only expressions, not ____29____. A teen can pose with cousins smiling while feeling _____30_____ unseen. Security grows not from delicate pictures, but from genuine connection— from being truly _____31_____ and appreciated in daily life.
That evening, I put my phone away and sat with my daughter. “Tell me about your day.” I said. Surprise flashed across her face, then gradually turned into _____32_____ as she began to share her world, even the _____33_____ parts — about arguments with friends and the pressures in study.

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 placed the newspaper on the table, but the action felt as heavy as a burden. Mary watched her father’s shoulders sink. She took a quick look at the headline: Go for the City Marathon.
Tom had run every City Marathon for twenty-three years in a row. This year, after a routine health check, his doctor’s quiet “No marathons” changed everything.
When Mary asked why skipping just one race hurt so much, Tom shook his head and said it wasn’t just the race. He didn’t explain further.
Mary thought she knew why. For as long as she could remember, her father had trained hard for the event each year. When she was old enough, Tom took her along, always encouraging her: “You can do it.” As she grew older, she stopped running, and those shared moments slipped away. Yet she still remembered the look of accomplishment (成就) on his face after every finish. The marathon was like an annual ritual that kept fueling his ordinary life.
The next morning at the table, Mary told Tom she would join the City Marathon. When she added, “And maybe you can coach me,” she caught a flash of brightness in his eyes.
“Deal,” he said.
Training began the next day. Since Tom was not allowed to run, he brought out his old red motorcycle and became Mary’s moving guide. He planned routes through the quiet roads near their home: first five kilometers, then ten, then fifteen. He shouted numbers over the engine’s noise, threw her water bottles like in a relay, and stuck paper flags on mailboxes: I am strong. I am fast. I am determined. These were the same slogans (口号) he once used to encourage himself. Now, they cheered Mary on.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The training was tough.
