Pang Zhongwang, a 26-year-old PhD candidate in precision instruments at Tsinghua University, has recently been appointed as a think-tank expert and culture-tourism ambassador for his hometown Wuqiao County, Hebei Province. This appointment has returned him to the public spotlight years after his initial fame.
Pang first gained national attention in 2017 when he scored an impressive 684/750 in the gaokao despite significant family challenges. His father lives with schizophrenia while his mother had lower limb disability. His outstanding performance earned him admission to the prestigious Tsinghua University.
Despite media portrayals of his financial struggles, Pang notably declined financial assistance from entrepreneurs. He’s now excelling in his PhD program, having published several papers in peer-reviewed journals.
Tragically, Pang’s mother, who had the greatest influence on his life, passed away in 2020 at 48. “I found it hard to express my feelings to my mother when she was alive,” Pang recalled. “I might have told her, ‘Look, I’m doing pretty well.’”
From childhood, Pang shouldered household responsibilities and cared for his parents. His grandparents provided primary financial support. Sometimes he borrowed from neighbors for his mother’s medical expenses. Before the gaokao, while classmates focused solely on studies, Pang collected recyclables to generate family income.
His mother once told media: “This child is my greatest hope. I never studied, so I deeply respect educated people. I just urged him to study hard.” Pang credits his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged looking forward. She smiled daily, so why should I dwell on sadness?”
His recent speech declaration —“Our generation’s mission is to serve the country through scientific research” — became a social media sensation. Online comments praise him as an inspiration for disadvantaged youth.
4. What is the main reason for which Pang regained media attention recently?
A. He has published groundbreaking research. B. He has new responsibilities for his hometown.
C. He gave a viral speech at Tsinghua University. D. He started a charity for disadvantaged youth.
5. How did Pang help support his family in his middle school?
A. By getting financial aid from entrepreneurs. B. By relying on his grandparents’ support.
C. By borrowing money from neighbors. D. By collecting garbage to earn money.
6. Which quality does Pang credit to his mother’s teaching?
A. Independence B. Intelligence C. Optimism D. Persistence
7. What can be reasonably inferred from the passage about Pang Zhongwang?
A. His mother’s attitude played a key role in shaping his personality.
B. He accepted help from entrepreneurs for his education at Tsinghua.
C. He stopped taking care of his family after he started his PhD program.
D. His recent appointment marked his first time to receive public attention.
C
Few things delight children, or annoy their parents, as much as screen time. Parents urge their children to put down their digital devices and pick up a book or a football. Some countries are banning social media for under-16s. The worry may be focused on the wrong age group. For all the fears around teens and screens, the most square-eyed generation is the elderly.
Older people have long been champion TV-viewers. Now, with smartphones and tablets, their screen time has grown even longer. In fact, screens now take up more than half of their waking hours.
The digitization of old age is a good thing. The elderly have perhaps more to gain from smart devices than any other age group. Facebook brings daily updates from old friends and faraway grandchildren. Online shopping removes the need to walk around shops. A connected retirement is more satisfying and fun than an offline one.
While older people face fewer online risks than teenagers for they have stable real-life relationships and formed worldviews, new dangers emerge as more seniors go online. Unlike those of teenagers, their devices are often linked to credit cards. Door-to-door conmen (骗子), who have long spied on the elderly, can now go iPad-to-iPad. Governments rightly try to protect children from online conmen. They must recognize that there is another, fast-growing vulnerable group to look after.
A second cost is misinformation. The elderly are twice as likely as under-25s to use news apps or websites. Older people also appear to be more susceptible (易受影响的) than others to online tricks. As older generations spend more time online, they are entering a Wild West of information. And the elderly are frequently reported to be misled.
Policymakers have often banned youth crazes, from rock ‘n’ roll to violent video games. Now, with seniors using screens more, we must also calmly discuss their digital needs and support.
8. Who does “square-eyed generation” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. People criticizing social media. B. People enjoying reading books.
C. People spending too much time on screens. D. Parents worrying about their children.
9. How does the author mainly develop the idea in the text?
A. By quoting experts. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making comparisons.
10. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about?
A. The differences in online risks between the elderly and teenagers.
B. The bad things the elderly are facing online.
C. The generation gap in using news apps and websites.
D. The measures governments should take to protect the elderly online.
11. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this article?
A. To draw urgent attention to teenagers’ screen time.
B. To blame the elderly for their long screen time
C. To suggest banning the elderly from using smart devices.
D. To call for more protection for the elderly in the digital world.

Vogue’s recent landmark report has uncovered a cruel fact about the fashion industry: 97% of models at New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion shows wear UK size 4 to 8(equal to XS to S in Chinese sizes), exposing that the industry’s talk of body positivity is nothing but empty slogans. Despite body positivity being a popular term in fashion circles, the commitment to size inclusivity remains superficial (肤浅的) and unfulfilled.
Based on data collected from 198 shows and presentations by Vogue Business, the report reveals striking differences in the runway representation this season. Merely 2% of models fall into the “mid-size” category (UK 10-16), and less than 1% are defined as “plus-size” (UK 18+).This stands in sharp contrast to the UK’s average dress size of 16, meaning high fashion’s beauty standards still favor extreme thinness, far slimmer than the UK average dress size — even size 8 models struggle to establish successful careers in the industry.
The narrow beauty standard promoted on the catwalk has a “ripple effect” (连锁反应), shaping trends on e-commerce platforms, in magazines, and even in mainstream advertising. For instance, brands like Marks & Spencer and Zara are showing a clear preference for the idealized images in advertisements, and were once sued by the Advertising Standards Authority for featuring “unhealthily thin” models. Even when plus-size representation is attempted, it is often no more than a symbolic gesture, with advertising designers hiring just one plus-size model per project as a mere formality.
Worse still, since the pandemic, the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and increased screen time have fueled the craze for thinness. Elektra Kotsoni, deputy director of Vogue Business, describes the situation as pretty “dire”, noting that more female editors than ever are complaining about models’ extreme thinness. A reader survey found 48% feel pressured to lose weight to be fashionable, and 13% have used weight-loss drugs. Leading fashion figures, including editors from The Times, British Vogue, and Elle UK, have voiced concerns about the normalization of skeletal models, echoing the dangerous “heroin chic” trend of the 1990s that shocked the public decades ago.
12. The underlined word “dire” used to describe the situation by Elektra Kotsoni probably means ______.
A. favourable B. awful C. complex D. common
13. According to Vogue’s report, what is the reality of model sizes on major fashion runways?
A. That most models are limited to a narrow size range.
B. That the typical model size is in line with the national average.
C. That mid-size models comprise the majority in the fashion shows.
D. That plus-size models have gained equal representation on runways.
14. The examples of Marks & Spencer and Zara are used to illustrate that ______.
A. some brands are leading the way in promoting body positivity
B. the thin ideal from the runway has influenced wider media practices
C. these brands have suffered substantial losses due to the controversy
D. the Advertising Standards Authority has banned the use of thin models
15. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this passage?
A. A Statistical Overview: Varied Model Sizes in the Fashion World.
B. A Positive Shift: Body Positivity is Reshaping the Fashion Industry.
C. An Industry Debate: Internal Concerns Over the Public Health Standards.
D. Beyond the Trend: The Unmet commitment to Size Diversity in Fashion.

Many of us want to age well — staying in good physical and cognitive health into our 90s and even beyond. But not everyone has the genes linked to longevity (长寿). ____16____. Here are some ways to promote a long and healthy life, according to people who are known as “super agers”.
Choose the right food
89-year-old top nutrition expert Marion Nestle attributes her longevity to the principle: ____17____. She defines food as unprocessed or minimally processed, not ultra-processed. She eats everything but in small amounts, partly due to age-related metabolism (新陈代谢) decline.
____18____
92-year-old Emma from Italy is a record-breaking runner, training 2-3 times weekly and walking on rest days. She advises older athletes to check with doctors, know limits and stay consistent. Experts say consistent exercise slows aging, recommending at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity (有氧运动) daily.
Connect with others and have a little fun
____19____. A study found exercise, healthy diet, socializing and brain games improve older adults’ cognition. Loneliness raises dementia (痴呆) risk, while strong social ties protect it. Morera and Rice, who are over 90s, stay socially active. They say that small and frequent positive social experiences build happiness and a good life habit.
Don’t fear setbacks
Many view aging as decline, but one research shows people over 60 can regain strength after health issues, with good mental health, social ties and healthy habits (no smoking, good diet and sleep). Florene Shuber, 91, said, “____20____.” She started gym training at 82 after several falls. Now she feels younger and stronger, stressing consistency is vital.
A. It’s never too late
B. Perseverance leads to victory
C. Try to be consistent in your workouts
D. Eat unprocessed food, not too much

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。
It was a beautiful day, and James, who was in his last year of college, took a flight to visit his uncle in New York. James was studying medicine and he wanted to become a doctor like his uncle. But he thought he was not good enough and still had much to learn.
While waiting at the airport lounge(候机室), James sat beside an elderly woman. At first, they were busy with their own business. The woman was knitting(织) a scarf. James was reading a medical journal, eager to increase his knowledge. After a while, the woman’s knitting needle dropped onto the floor. James, noticing this, quickly picked it up for her.
The woman smiled and said, “Thank you, young man. You’re very kind.” James replied with a warm smile, “You’re welcome.” This simple exchange broke the ice between them. They started chatting, and James learned that the woman was on her way to visit her grandchildren. She told him stories about her family and how much she missed them. James listened carefully and shared with her some of his own experiences and dream of becoming a doctor.
Before long, it was time to board the plane. James helped the woman carry her bag and find her seat. Everything went smoothly and everyone was expecting a dream journey.
As the plane reached its altitude(高度), the workers were busy serving drinks and snacks. It was quiet in the plane. James just closed his eyes, trying to get some much-needed rest.
After about one and a half hours, the flight was near New York. Suddenly, a call broke the quietness, “Is there a doctor on board? We have a passenger who is in great need of help now.”
James opened his eyes and checked what happened. Then he found that the woman he met at the airport lounge was lying in her seat. Her face was pale and it seemed that she was in great pain.
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。
However, James was undecided whether to offer help.

Facebook brings daily updates from old friends and faraway grandchildren. Online shopping removes the need to walk around shops. A connected retirement is more satisfying and fun than an offline one.
While older people face fewer online risks than teenagers for they have stable real-life relationships and formed worldviews, new dangers emerge as more seniors go online. Unlike those of teenagers, their devices are often linked to credit cards. Door-to-door conmen (骗子), who have long spied on the elderly, can now go iPad-to-iPad. Governments rightly try to protect children from online conmen. They must recognize that there is another, fast-growing vulnerable group to look after.
A second cost is misinformation. The elderly are twice as likely as under-25s to use news apps or websites. Older people also appear to be more susceptible (易受影响的) than others to online tricks. As older generations spend more time online, they are entering a Wild West of information. And the elderly are frequently reported to be misled.
Policymakers have often banned youth crazes, from rock ‘n’ roll to violent video games. Now, with seniors using screens more, we must also calmly discuss their digital needs and support.
8. Who does “square-eyed generation” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. People criticizing social media. B. People enjoying reading books.
C. People spending too much time on screens. D. Parents worrying about their children.
9. How does the author mainly develop the idea in the text?
A. By quoting experts. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making comparisons.
10. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about?
A. The differences in online risks between the elderly and teenagers.
B. The bad things the elderly are facing online.
C. The generation gap in using news apps and websites.
D. The measures governments should take to protect the elderly online.
11. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this article?

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For all the fears around teens and screens, the most square-eyed generation is the elderly.(尽管人们都担心青少年和屏幕,但square-eyed generation是老年人)”以及第二段中“Now, with smartphones and tablets, their screen time has grown even longer.(现在,有了智能手机和平板电脑,他们的屏幕时间变得更长了)”可知,相比青少年,现在盯屏幕最长时间的是老年人,所以“square-eyed generation”指的是长时间盯着屏幕的人,即花费太多时间在屏幕上的老年人群体。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The worry may be focused on the wrong age group. For all the fears around teens and screens, the most square-eyed generation is the elderly.(担忧可能集中在了错误的年龄群体。尽管人们对青少年和电子产品充满担忧,但最长时间盯着屏幕的一代是老年人)”、第四段中“While older people face fewer online risks than teenagers for they have stable real-life relationships and formed worldviews, new dangers emerge as more seniors go online.(虽然老年人由于拥有稳定的现实生活关系和成熟的世界观,相较于青少年面临更少的网络风险,但随着越来越多的老年人上网,新的危险也随之出现)”以及第五段中“The elderly are twice as likely as under-25s to use news apps or websites.(老年人使用新闻应用程序或网站的可能性是25岁以下人群的两倍)”可知,作者主要通过对比来展开文章的观点。故选D。
【10题详解】

Unlike those of teenagers, their devices are often linked to credit cards. Door-to-door conmen (骗子),who have long spied on the elderly, can now go iPad-to-iPad.(虽然老年人由于拥有稳定的现实生活关系和成熟的世界观,相较于青少年面临更少的网络风险,但随着越来越多的老年人上网,新的危险也随之出现。与青少年不同,老年人的设备通常与信用卡相关联。长期以来,上门骗子一直窥探着老年人的生活,现在他们可以通过iPad与iPad进行交流)”以及第五段中“A second cost is misinformation. The elderly are twice as likely as under-25s to use news apps or websites. Older people also appear to be more susceptible (易受影响的) than others to online tricks.(第二个代价是错误信息。老年人使用新闻应用程序或网站的可能性是25岁以下人群的两倍。老年人似乎也比其他人更容易受到网络欺骗)”可知,这两段主要讨论了老年人在网上面临的不好事情,包括安全风险和错误信息等。故选B。

Vogue’s recent landmark report has uncovered a cruel fact about the fashion industry: 97% of models at New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion shows wear UK size 4 to 8(equal to XS to S in Chinese sizes), exposing that the industry’s talk of body positivity is nothing but empty slogans. Despite body positivity being a popular term in fashion circles, the commitment to size inclusivity remains superficial (肤浅的) and unfulfilled.
Based on data collected from 198 shows and presentations by Vogue Business, the report reveals striking differences in the runway representation this season. Merely 2% of models fall into the “mid-size” category (UK 10-16), and less than 1% are defined as “plus-size” (UK 18+).This stands in sharp contrast to the UK’s average dress size of 16, meaning high fashion’s beauty standards still favor extreme thinness, far slimmer than the UK average dress size — even size 8 models struggle to establish successful careers in the industry.
The narrow beauty standard promoted on the catwalk has a “ripple effect” (连锁反应), shaping trends on e-commerce platforms, in magazines, and even in mainstream advertising. For instance, brands like Marks & Spencer and Zara are showing a clear preference for the idealized images in advertisements, and were once sued by the Advertising Standards Authority for featuring “unhealthily thin” models. Even when plus-size representation is attempted, it is often no more than a symbolic gesture, with advertising designers hiring just one plus-size model per project as a mere formality.
Worse still, since the pandemic, the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and increased screen time have fueled the craze for thinness. Elektra Kotsoni, deputy director of Vogue Business, describes the situation as pretty “dire”, noting that more female editors than ever are complaining about models’ extreme thinness. A reader survey found 48% feel pressured to lose weight to be fashionable, and 13% have used weight-loss drugs. Leading fashion figures, including editors from The Times, British Vogue, and Elle UK, have voiced concerns about the normalization of skeletal models, echoing the dangerous “heroin chic” trend of the 1990s that shocked the public decades ago.
12. The underlined word “dire” used to describe the situation by Elektra Kotsoni probably means ______.
A. favourable B. awful C. complex D. common
13. According to Vogue’s report, what is the reality of model sizes on major fashion runways?
A. That most models are limited to a narrow size range.
B. That the typical model size is in line with the national average.
C. That mid-size models comprise the majority in the fashion shows.
D. That plus-size models have gained equal representation on runways.
14. The examples of Marks & Spencer and Zara are used to illustrate that ______.
A. some brands are leading the way in promoting body positivity
B. the thin ideal from the runway has influenced wider media practices
C. these brands have suffered substantial losses due to the controversy
D. the Advertising Standards Authority has banned the use of thin models
15. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this passage?
A. A Statistical Overview: Varied Model Sizes in the Fashion World.
B. A Positive Shift: Body Positivity is Reshaping the Fashion Industry.
C. An Industry Debate: Internal Concerns Over the Public Health Standards.
D. Beyond the Trend: The Unmet commitment to Size Diversity in Fashion.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。揭示了时尚行业在“身材积极”口号下,实际仍以极端纤瘦为审美标准,对尺码多样性的承诺并未真正兑现的现状。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Worse still, since the pandemic, the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and increased screen time have fueled the craze for thinness. Elektra Kotsoni, deputy director of Vogue Business, describes the situation as pretty “dire”, noting that more female editors than ever are complaining about models’ extreme thinness.(更糟糕的是,疫情以来,司美格鲁肽等减肥药的流行和屏幕使用时间的增加,进一步助长了对纤瘦的狂热。《Vogue Business》的副总监Elektra Kotsoni形容这种情况非常____,指出越来越多的女性编辑抱怨模特过于极端的纤瘦)”可知,疫情后对纤瘦的追求加剧了,更多编辑公开批评模特过度消瘦的现象,因此,Elektra Kotsoni用dire来形容这种现状,意在强调其严峻、糟糕甚至危险的程度,与“awful (糟糕的)”含义接近。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Vogue’s recent landmark report has uncovered a cruel fact about the fashion industry: 97% of models at New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion shows wear UK size 4 to 8(equal to XS to S in Chinese sizes), exposing that the industry’s talk of body positivity is nothing but empty slogans.(《时尚》杂志近期发布的一份具有里程碑意义的报告揭示了时尚行业的一个残酷真相:在纽约、伦敦、米兰和巴黎的时装秀上,97%的模特所穿的尺码均为英国的4号至8号(相当于中国尺码的XS至S码),这表明该行业所谓的“身体积极主义”不过是一堆空洞的口号罢了)”可知,大多数模特的尺码被限制在一个很窄的范围内。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The narrow beauty standard promoted on the catwalk has a “ripple effect” (连锁反应), shaping trends on e-commerce platforms, in magazines, and even in mainstream advertising. For instance, brands like Marks & Spencer and Zara are showing a clear preference for the idealized images in advertisements, and were once sued by the Advertising Standards Authority for featuring “unhealthily thin” models.(在时装秀上宣扬的狭隘审美标准产生了“连锁反应”,影响了电商平台、杂志以及主流广告中的流行趋势。例如,像玛莎百货和扎拉这样的品牌明显倾向于广告中的理想化形象,甚至曾因使用“过瘦”的模特而被广告标准管理局起诉)”可知,这些例子是为了说明T台的纤瘦审美影响了更广泛的媒体实践。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段揭示了时尚界尺码范围狭窄的现状,指出“身材积极”只是口号;第二段通过数据说明尺码多样性严重不足;第三段阐述了纤瘦审美的连锁负面影响;第四段指出疫情后情况进一步恶化。由此可知,全文核心是时尚行业对尺码多样性的承诺并未真正兑现,只是流于表面,因此“超越潮流:时尚界对尺码多样性未兑现的承诺”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。

Connect with others and have a little fun

考查非谓语动词。句意:一个部分探讨了艺术家和设计师如何将汉字作为新作品的起点,展示通过书籍设计、时尚、艺术和创意产品重新诠释笔画和结构的作品。“(present) pieces that reinterpret strokes (笔画) and structures”作伴随状语,present(展示)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语One section之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填presenting。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:一个部分探讨了艺术家和设计师如何将汉字作为新作品的起点,展示通过书籍设计、时尚、艺术和创意产品重新诠释笔画和结构的作品。提示词修饰名词products,用形容词creative作定语,意为“创意的”。故填creative。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:另一个部分追溯了汉字早期向西方的传播以及20世纪前为系统化中文活字所做的努力。the spread of...是固定搭配,意为“……的传播”,此处表示“汉字向西方的传播”,应用介词of表示所属关系。故填of。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:参观者可以了解汉字在形式和使用上几个世纪以来的变化,同时看到它如何继续激发今天的设计。shift(变化)是宾语从句中的谓语动词,结合时间状语“over centuries”可知,讲述从过去持续到现在的动词,用现在完成时,主语hanzi是第三人称单数,谓语动词用单数形式。故填has shifted。
【45题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:巴斯大学的学者Yukteshwar Kumar说:“对我来说,学习汉语的过程非常吸引人,因为每个汉字都有一个故事,而这样的展览有助于英国和中国的人们更好地了解彼此,这让它变得非常有意义。”根据句意可知,这样的展览有助于英国和中国的人们“更好地”了解彼此,用副词比较级better作状语,修饰动词understand。故填better。

Dear Editors,
I’m writing to share my opinion on how to make full use of after-class time.

【答案】Possible version 1:
Dear Editors,
I’m writing to share my opinion on how to make full use of after-class time. From my perspective, we ought to spend the time relaxing ourselves rather than continuing academic learning.
As high school students, we are burdened with heavy study tasks on a daily basis. Using after-class time to listen to music or gaze into the distance can effectively relieve our study pressure. Furthermore, enough relaxation enables our brains to get proper rest, which contributes to improving our concentration in later classes. What’s more, it is challenging to maintain focus in short periods, so learning during such time may fail to achieve satisfactory effects.
I sincerely hope my thoughts can provide some valuable reference for you.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible version 2:
Dear Editors,
I’m writing to share my opinion on how to make full use of after-class time. From my perspective, we ought to spend the time memorizing words and practicing listening instead of just relaxing.
As high school students, English learning requires constant accumulation. Using after-class time to recite a few words or listen to a short English clip every day can help us build up vocabulary and improve listening skills gradually. Furthermore, these short study sessions fit perfectly into the fragmented after-class time, making it easy to form a consistent learning habit. What’s more, regular exposure to English in spare time can deepen our sense of the language, which is far more effective than occasional cramming.
I sincerely hope my thoughts can provide some valuable reference for you.
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。
It was a beautiful day, and James, who was in his last year of college, took a flight to visit his uncle in New York. James was studying medicine and he wanted to become a doctor like his uncle. But he thought he was not good enough and still had much to learn.
While waiting at the airport lounge(候机室), James sat beside an elderly woman. At first, they were busy with their own business. The woman was knitting(织) a scarf. James was reading a medical journal, eager to increase his knowledge. After a while, the woman’s knitting needle dropped onto the floor. James, noticing this, quickly picked it up for her.
The woman smiled and said, “Thank you, young man. You’re very kind.” James replied with a warm smile, “You’re welcome.” This simple exchange broke the ice between them. They started chatting, and James learned that the woman was on her way to visit her grandchildren. She told him stories about her family and how much she missed them. James listened carefully and shared with her some of his own experiences and dream of becoming a doctor.
Before long, it was time to board the plane. James helped the woman carry her bag and find her seat. Everything went smoothly and everyone was expecting a dream journey.
As the plane reached its altitude(高度), the workers were busy serving drinks and snacks. It was quiet in the plane. James just closed his eyes, trying to get some much-needed rest.
After about one and a half hours, the flight was near New York. Suddenly, a call broke the quietness, “Is there a doctor on board? We have a passenger who is in great need of help now.”
James opened his eyes and checked what happened. Then he found that the woman he met at the airport lounge was lying in her seat. Her face was pale and it seemed that she was in great pain.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

A few days later, James received a call from the woman.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 However, James was undecided whether to offer help. He knew he was still a student and not a fully qualified doctor. But the thought of the kind woman and her stories about her family made him determined to take action. He took a deep breath and walked towards the woman. He checked her pulse and asked some basic questions. With the knowledge he had gained from his studies, he did his best to calm her and provide initial assistance.
A few days later, James received a call from the woman. Her voice was full of gratitude and warmth. She thanked him repeatedly for his timely and courageous help on the flight. She told him that his presence and care had been a source of immense comfort during her terrifying moment. She also mentioned that she was recovering well and was looking forward to reuniting with her grandchildren soon. Hearing her words, James felt a wave of pride and fulfillment wash over him. This unexpected encounter and the opportunity to make a difference strengthened his determination to become a proficient and compassionate doctor, dedicated to helping more people in their times of need.
