Brian is a very silly, funny student. What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best.
When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way!
Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show.
Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal.
As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that.

Music festivals are highly popular events during the summer months, attracting thousands of festival-goers who camp on-site. However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled.
While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are thrown away at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking.
Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away.
In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says.
The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.
8. Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey?
A. Most of the tents are of poor quality.
B. Some people are too lazy to take the tents home.
C. Poor weather makes it difficult to recycle the tents.
D. Many people mistakenly think the tents will be donated.
9. What can we learn from the numbers listed in paragraph 3?
A. There is an increasing demand for tents.
B. A large number of tents are thrown away.
C. Making tents needs a fair amount of energy.
D. Festival tickets are more expensive than tents.
10. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How charities deal with the tents.
B. How to attract more festival-goers.
C. How to reduce rubbish and tents after festivals.
D. How people view rubbish and tents at festivals.
11. What does the author intend to do by writing the text?
A. Stress the importance of music festivals.
B. Introduce popular music festivals in the world.
C. Make people pay attention to the quality of tents.
D. Call on people to protect the environment at festivals.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐节后大量帐篷被遗弃的问题,呼吁人们保护音乐节环境。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A ccording to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities.(根据最近的一项调查,许多参加音乐节的人把帐篷留下,是因为他们认为这些帐篷会被捐赠给慈善机构。)”可知,音乐节后帐篷被留下是因为许多人误以为帐篷会被捐赠。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away.(音乐节废物回收与分配部门的主管马特·韦奇说,被遗弃的帐篷数量正在增加,估计利兹音乐节上大约20%的帐篷被扔掉了,大约有7000顶帐篷。他补充说,雷丁和莱斯特音乐节上被遗弃的帐篷数量翻了一番,这意味着可能有14000顶帐篷被扔掉了。)”可知,我们可以从第三段列出的数字中了解到大量的帐篷被扔掉了。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says.(为了解决这个问题,一个广受欢迎的想法是采用帐篷押金方案。根据这一方案,乐迷需支付押金才能将帐篷带入音乐节,如果他们将帐篷带回家,押金将退还给他们。韦奇说:“类似的情况也发生在垃圾处理上。一些音乐节要求参加者支付10英镑的‘生态保证金’,如果他们在音乐节结束时捡满一袋垃圾并上交,保证金就会退还给他们。”)”可知,第四段主要讲的是如何减少音乐节后的垃圾和帐篷。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.(被遗弃帐篷的令人震惊的画面不仅仅是对音乐节本身对环境影响的评论。它们实际上是我们一次性文化的戏剧性象征。就像格拉斯顿伯里音乐节上干净田野的画面代表着令人耳目一新的希望一样,最终的信息是至少要让人们养成把帐篷带回家的习惯。这是人们能做的最好的事情。)”可知,作者写这篇文章是为了呼吁人们在音乐节上保护环境。故选D。
D
I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team.
“Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure.
Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth.
How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling.
Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager. I would have stayed close to the sport I loved, and found meaning without needing to be a top athlete. When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success.
12. Why is the author’s basketball experience mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To describe the pain of failure. B. To criticize unfair selection system.
C. To introduce the topic of failure. D. To express regret about his performance.
13. What does the study in Nature suggest about successful people?
A. They are more likely to fail. B. They are less adaptable to failure.
C. They gain valuable lessons from failure. D. They work in the field of high-tech.
14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The short-term joy of success. B. The source of lasting happiness.
C. The most rewarding way of living. D. The balance of feeling good and failure.
15. What is the best title for this text?
A. Why Failure Is the New Success
B. How to Get a Sense of Achievement
C. The Role of Purpose in Personal Growth
D Humans Learn Better from Direct Experience
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过作者自身的经历并结合科学研究与心理学发现,探讨了失败在科技和创业领域以及个人成长中的意义,强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player. Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. (我对这件事的记忆就像发生在昨天一样。我大一那年的篮球选拔赛进行得出奇顺利。我每次传球都很到位,成功获得了一个稳定的替补球员名额。可之后发生了这样一件事 —— 我莫名其妙地投丢了一个很容易的球。第二天,我就被球队裁掉了。)”以及第二段中““Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (“快速失败,经常失败。”创业圈里充斥着诸如此类的说法。在科技和企业家圈子中,失败已成为一种值得追求而非回避的东西。而科学也正开始支持这一点。)”可知,作者通过讲述自己篮球选拔赛失败的经历,是为了引出了关于“失败”的话题,为后文讨论失败的意义和价值做铺垫。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. (《自然》杂志的一项研究发现,在科学家和企业家当中,那些最终成功的人实际上比那些不太成功的人失败的次数更多。使他们脱颖而出的不是运气或天赋,而是他们在每次失败后快速学习和适应的能力。)”可知,《自然》杂志的研究表明,成功的人能从失败中吸取宝贵的教训并快速适应。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. (积极心理学领域的两位领军人物Sonja Lyubomirsky和Ed Diener的研究表明,经历过失败的人有时比没有经历过失败的人报告的长期幸福感水平更高。他们的研究结果表明,持久的幸福感较少来自外部的胜利,如奖牌或头衔,而更多来自内部源泉:目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长。)”可知,第三段主要讨论了持久幸福感的来源,即来自内部的目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长,而非外部的胜利。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (在科技和创业圈,失败已经成为一种追求,而不是避免。科学也开始支持这一点。)”以及最后一段中“When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. (当成功没有被狭隘地定义时,失败就不会关上大门。它打开了新的大门。这样,失败就真正成为了新的成功。)”可知,文章主要讨论了失败的意义和价值,强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性,认为失败可以成为新的成功。所以“Why Failure Is the New Success (为何失败是新的成功)”最契合文章主旨,适宜作为标题使用。故选A项。

How to Build Good Study Habits
Developing good study habits is essential for academic success. It not only helps you learn more effectively but also reduces stress during exams. Here are some practical tips to get you started:
1. Set a fixed study schedule
Our brains work best when we follow a routine. ____16____ For example, you could study math from 7:00 to 8:30 every evening and English in the morning. Stick to your schedule as much as possible, even on weekends.
2. Create a comfortable study space
Find a quiet, well-lit area where you can focus without distractions. ____17____ Make sure your study space has all the supplies you need, such as books, notebooks, and stationery. Avoid studying in bed or on the couch, as these places are associated with relaxation.
3. Break tasks into smaller pieces
Large assignments or study goals can feel overwhelming. ____18____ Instead of trying to finish an entire textbook chapter in one sitting, split it into sections and deal with one at a time. This will make your tasks more manageable and help you stay motivated.
4. Take regular breaks
Studying for hours without stopping can lead to fatigue (疲劳) and reduced concentration. ____19____ During your break, stretch, drink water, or take a short walk — avoid using your phone or watching TV, as these activities can make it harder to get back to studying.
5. Review and reflect regularly
Learning doesn’t end when you finish studying. ____20____ Review your notes within 24 hours of learning new materials, and reflect on what you’ve learned. This will help strengthen the information in your memory and identify areas where you need more practice.
With continuous effort, these habits will become second nature and help you achieve your academic goals.
A. This helps your brain get into “study mode” at the right time.
B. It’s important to take short breaks every 45-60 minutes.
C Many students struggle with maintaining focus during study sessions.
D. Breaking them down into smaller, specific tasks makes a big difference.
E. A cluttered (杂乱) environment can make it hard to concentrate.
F. You should also ask your teachers for feedback on your progress.
G. Regular review is key to a long-term memory of knowledge.

46. 假设你是李华,你的外国朋友Alex对中国的传统节日很感兴趣,他尤其好奇这些节日如何体现中国人的价值观。请写一封回信,与他分享一个你认为最能体现“家庭团聚(family reunion)”这一价值观的中国传统节日,并阐述你的观点。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Alex,
It’s great to hear about your interest in Chinese festivals. I believe the Mid-Autumn Festival best reflects the value of family reunion.
This tradition is not just about eating; it represents a deep cultural belief that just as the moon is fullest on this night, families should also be whole. Even in modern life, it remains a cherished pause for emotional reconnection. While similar to Christmas in its focus on family, the Mid-Autumn Festival draws more on nature’s rhythm than religious tradition. If you ever visit China during this time, I suggest joining a local family for a moon-viewing evening — it’s the best way to feel its true warmth.
Hope this helps!
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。
As I was 11, big brother Levon and I were allowed to have a whole week at the Jersey Shore. Levon excitedly mentioned the huge dolphin we had observed before. When we got the telescope and went downstairs, Levon’s friend Griffin was standing near the front door. Next to him was a suitcase. Levon shrugged (耸肩) and told me Griffin would be joining us on our journey. My stomach bottomed out as Levon led Griffin inside.
“My parents are flying Louis to Colorado to meet a new doctor,” he said, sounding pretty sad. I almost forgot that his brother often went to the doctor.
Soon we piled into the car. A few hours later, we were bathed in the sunshine on the beach. We wanted to cheer up Griffin, but he didn’t seem excited about any of the things we liked: bodysurfing, beach volleyball, flying kites.
The next day, we rented bikes and pedaled over to the light house to check out the birds. The seagulls (海鸥), like mini helicopters, hovered (盘旋) and then-bam! -dove into the water. We identified an amazing bird, but Griffin couldn’t care less.
When I suggested going up the lighthouse, Griffin shook his head, citing fear of heights. Before I could drop my bike and run ahead, Levon shot me a look that signaled me not to leave Griffin behind. I agreed, trying to sound cheerful. When we went hunting for sea glass, I scored a light blue and a bunch of greens to add to our collection. Griffin didn’t even try to find any.
Finally, on Thursday morning, I had Levon alone for a second, and I broke down. “Griffin is ruining everything!” “Shhh! Give him a break,” Levon whispered. “Charlie. Imagine what he’s going through.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

I walked out of the room and threw myself onto my bed.

That night, Griffin got a text from his brother saying that he would be cured.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
I walked out of the room and threw myself onto my bed. After taking a deep breath, I tried to put myself in Griffin’s place. Scary thoughts began to crash in my mind, like violent waves crashing on a stormy night. It dawned on me that despite our efforts to help Griffin, we might not have really reached his heart. With this realization, I walked over to Griffin and gently inquired, “Griffin, what do you wish to do?”. He turned his head, a hint of surprise in his gaze, but more than that, an imperceptible gratitude. That day, we went to the beach and built sand sculptures. Although Griffin’s face didn’t show too much excitement, I could see the attempt and fascination in his eyes.
That night, Griffin got a text from his brother saying that he would be cured. Overjoyed, Griffin exclaimed, “Best day ever!” Then he apologized to us for almost ruining the day. “We’re both pleased about your brother’s good news,” I said and Griffin responded with a warm hug. In order to share our happiness with Louis, I proposed that we take something back as a souvenir for him. Then, Griffin and Levon found a bottle and filled it with beach treasures, including a seagull feather and a piece of red sea glass. “Since Louis can’t be here at the beach,” Levon said, holding up the bottle and shaking it. “We’ll bring the beach to him!” A bright smile lit up Griffin’s face.
【解析】

Brian is a very silly, funny student. What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best.
When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way!
Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show.
Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal.
As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier. He gets more and more opportunities to perform, and he is even invited to appear on television and act in movies.
4. Why does Brian decide to take part in the school’s talent show?

Music festivals are highly popular events during the summer months, attracting thousands of festival-goers who camp on-site. However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled.
While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are thrown away at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking.
Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away.
In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says.
The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.
8. Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey?

I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team.
“Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure.
Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth.
How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling.
Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager. I would have stayed close to the sport I loved, and found meaning without needing to be a top athlete. When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success.
12. Why is the author’s basketball experience mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To describe the pain of failure. B. To criticize unfair selection system.
C. To introduce the topic of failure. D. To express regret about his performance.
13. What does the study in Nature suggest about successful people?
A. They are more likely to fail. B. They are less adaptable to failure.
C. They gain valuable lessons from failure. D. They work in the field of high-tech.
14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The short-term joy of success. B. The source of lasting happiness.
C. The most rewarding way of living. D. The balance of feeling good and failure.
15. What is the best title for this text?
A. Why Failure Is the New Success
B. How to Get a Sense of Achievement
C. The Role of Purpose in Personal Growth
D. Humans Learn Better from Direct Experience

How to Build Good Study Habits
Developing good study habits is essential for academic success. It not only helps you learn more effectively but also reduces stress during exams. Here are some practical tips to get you started:
1. Set a fixed study schedule
Our brains work best when we follow a routine. ____16____ For example, you could study math from 7:00 to 8:30 every evening and English in the morning. Stick to your schedule as much as possible, even on weekends.
2 Create a comfortable study space
Find a quiet, well-lit area where you can focus without distractions. ____17____ Make sure your study space has all the supplies you need, such as books, notebooks, and stationery. Avoid studying in bed or on the couch, as these places are associated with relaxation.
3. Break tasks into smaller pieces
Large assignments or study goals can feel overwhelming. ____18____ Instead of trying to finish an entire textbook chapter in one sitting, split it into sections and deal with one at a time. This will make your tasks more manageable and help you stay motivated.
4. Take regular breaks
Studying for hours without stopping can lead to fatigue (疲劳) and reduced concentration. ____19____ During your break, stretch, drink water, or take a short walk — avoid using your phone or watching TV, as these activities can make it harder to get back to studying.
5. Review and reflect regularly
Learning doesn’t end when you finish studying. ____20____ Review your notes within 24 hours of learning new materials, and reflect on what you’ve learned. This will help strengthen the information in your memory and identify areas where you need more practice.
With continuous effort, these habits will become second nature and help you achieve your academic goals.
A. This helps your brain get into “study mode” at the right time.
B. It’s important to take short breaks every 45-60 minutes.
C. Many students struggle with maintaining focus during study sessions.
D. Breaking them down into smaller, specific tasks makes a big difference.

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。
As I was 11, big brother Levon and I were allowed to have a whole week at the Jersey Shore. Levon excitedly mentioned the huge dolphin we had observed before. When we got the telescope and went downstairs, Levon’s friend Griffin was standing near the front door. Next to him was a suitcase. Levon shrugged (耸肩) and told me Griffin would be joining us on our journey. My stomach bottomed out as Levon led Griffin inside.
“My parents are flying Louis to Colorado to meet a new doctor,” he said, sounding pretty sad. I almost forgot that his brother often went to the doctor.
Soon we piled into the car. A few hours later, we were bathed in the sunshine on the beach. We wanted to cheer up Griffin, but he didn’t seem excited about any of the things we liked: bodysurfing, beach volleyball, flying kites.
The next day, we rented bikes and pedaled over to the light house to check out the birds. The seagulls (海鸥), like mini helicopters, hovered (盘旋) and then-bam! -dove into the water. We identified an amazing bird, but Griffin couldn’t care less.
When I suggested going up the lighthouse, Griffin shook his head, citing fear of heights. Before I could drop my bike and run ahead, Levon shot me a look that signaled me not to leave Griffin behind. I agreed, trying to sound cheerful. When we went hunting for sea glass, I scored a light blue and a bunch of greens to add to our collection. Griffin didn’t even try to find any.
Finally, on Thursday morning, I had Levon alone for a second, and I broke down. “Griffin is ruining everything!” “Shhh! Give him a break,” Levon whispered. “Charlie. Imagine what he’s going through.”
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。
I walked out of the room and threw myself onto my bed.

That night, Griffin got a text from his brother saying that he would be cured.
