One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter.
I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has.
With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.
What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.
There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.
4. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2?
A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions.
C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response.
5. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses?
A. Excited and eager to try them out.
B. Annoyed and not interested in them.
C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions.
D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience.
6. What would happen to kids with the automation of language?
A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase.
C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience
C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication

Raindrops are more than a source of fresh water. They also carry mechanical energy that can be used for free. A research team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has developed a water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator (W-DEG) that uses natural water as part of its structure, offering clean energy harvesting.
Unlike conventional DEGs, which rely on solid ground substance and costly metal parts, the new design allows the device to float on water. When a raindrop lands on the floating dielectric film (电介质膜), the water beneath it provides the strength needed to absorb the impact because of its surface tension. This lets the droplet spread more effectively across the surface. At the same time, the water layer operates as a reliable electrical conductor. This nature-integrated design cuts the device’s weight by about 80 percent and lowers the cost by about 50 percent while maintaining similar electrical output compared to conventional systems.
Tests showed that the W-DEG continued to function under diverse temperatures and salt levels, and even in natural lake water. These should be put down to its chemically inert (惰性的) dielectric layer and its naturally flexible water-based structure. To improve reliability further, the team used water’s strong surface tension to design holes that let water move downward. This creates a self-adjusting way to stop water from building up that could affect performance.
The system also charged capacitors (电容器) to useful electric tension only within minutes, showing its potential for powering small electronics and wireless sensors. Moreover, with continued development, similar systems could be positioned on lakes or coastal waters, providing renewable electricity without using any land-based space.
Although the laboratory results are encouraging, extending the service life of large dielectric films in dynamic outdoor conditions will also require further engineering. “By letting water itself play both structural and electrical roles, we’ve opened the door to land free systems that can supplement other renewable technologies like solar and wind.” Professor Wanlin Guo, a corresponding author of the study said.
8. What is W-DEG aimed at?
A. Improving electrical conductors.
B. Generating power from raindrops.
C. Increasing power storage capacity.
D. Turning raindrops into green energy.
9. Why did the research team design the holes in the W-DEG?
A. To make the device lighter. B. To produce more electricity.
C. To prevent the standing water. D. To allow water into the device.
10. What is an advantage of W-DEG according to Paragraph 4?
A. Easy operation. B. Low construction cost.
C. Stable performance. D. Rapid charging capability.
11. What might be a direction of the follow-up research?
A Cost reduction. B. Material recycling.
C. Durability enhancement. D. Structural transformation.
D
Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty.
Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.
The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.”
Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.
Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”
12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon-feeding?
A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts.
C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity.
13. Which might be a “moment of unease”?
A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds.
B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill.
C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition.
D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field.
14. What can make leaders fail according to the author?
A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience.
C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts.
15. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A. Intuition types and brain functions. B. Initial doubts and competing goals.
C. Brain systems and connection forms. D. Scientific theories and workable tips.

How Managing Attention Can Change Our Life
In a world of constant digital noise, our most valuable resource is not time, but attention. ____16____ Our attention decides how our hours are spent, what we notice, and ultimately, what gets created in our life.
Our attention is our power. Yet we are living through an attention crisis — our attention has become a commodity (商品) in the“attention economy”. ____17____ And this comes at a cost: Research shows that even after a brief interruption, it will take an average of 23 minutes to return to a state of deep focus.
____18____ The good news is that we can learn to confirm, guard and guide our attention with a better system, not just willpower.
Know what’s stealing our attention. First, identify what apps, habits, or environments are distracting us most. ____19____ Once we confirm exactly what they are, we can take action.
Guard the gates of our attention by designing our environment. Start by turning off unnecessary messages and creating blocks of uninterrupted time for deep focus.
Set a clear intention. When we have a clear purpose that we are passionate about, distractions lose their hold. Instead of relying on willpower for focus, intention pulls us forward. ____20____
By learning to control our attention, we regain our most valuable treasure. Remember: the more we guide our attention consciously, the faster we can upgrade ourselves and even our shared world.
A. Is willpower really the solution?
B. So, what practical steps can we take?
C. It gives time the power to shape what we truly are.
D. Countless commercial apps are designed to capture it.

It was this ____29____ that led me to pick up my film camera. With just 36 exposures per roll, each photo required ____30____, a slowing down to see the world around me. I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy. If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped, it didn’t matter. The ____31____ became part of the story. They weren’t meant for ____32____ or comments — they were meant for me, for family and friends.
There’s a sense of ____33____ when I finally open an envelope of developed prints. I’m ____34____ back to those moments. And in that sense, my ____35____ to film photography feels like a desire to regain the permanence and closeness that comes with holding a memory in your hands.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Most passers-by noticed the lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back of the supermarket. She was not young, holding a basket with bunches of flowers.
“Would you like the flowers, they are $3?” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded “No, thank you”, as I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands…
I had my own personal struggles, I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same.
When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account And at the same time she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Sigh of relief. I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3.
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。
After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change.

One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter.
I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has.
With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.
What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.
There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.
4. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2?
A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions.
C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response.
5 How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses?
A. Excited and eager to try them out.
B. Annoyed and not interested in them.
C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions.
D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience.
6. What would happen to kids with the automation of language?
A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase.
C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience
C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历,表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you.(我思考了不断要求“别的东西”意味着什么。这不仅仅是有一个真正的人可以交谈。这同样关系到我们沟通的质量。它是关于思考一些事情,然后说出来,然后让另一个人思考并回答你一些事情)”可知,思考的过程有助于高质量的沟通。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.(一开始,我告诉自己不要用那些预先准备好的回答。但很快,我急切发现它们很不错)”可知,作者不愿意使用预先准备好的回答,但最终意识到它们的方便。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.(如果我们的语言在整体上被自动化了会发生什么?如果我们不是生成回应,而是指向和点击会怎样?选择回应是一种思考方式,但它的准确性远不如生成内容所需的思考方式。它更多地与识别“足够好”的回应有关。而不是从空白的画布开始,我们是在评价事物。这并非毫无用处,但它无法替代以创造性方式进行思考。如果孩子们只进行评价,他们就不会有原创的想法。他们可能会成为出色的编辑,但很可能无法以全新的方式创造想法)”可知,语言自动化的孩子创造力会受到影响。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.(没有简单的解决方案,当然也没有办法让自动对话时光倒流。然而,在我们前进的过程中,我们需要仔细考虑沟通方面的简单改变会产生怎样严重的影响。如果我们想帮助我们的孩子,我们寻找的“其他东西”——真实的人类对话——不应该是例外,而应该是规则)”结合文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历,表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。可知,A选项“我对自动对话的看法”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
Raindrops are more than a source of fresh water. They also carry mechanical energy that can be used for free. A research team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has developed a water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator (W-DEG) that uses natural water as part of its structure, offering clean energy harvesting.
Unlike conventional DEGs, which rely on solid ground substance and costly metal parts, the new design allows the device to float on water. When a raindrop lands on the floating dielectric film (电介质膜), the water beneath it provides the strength needed to absorb the impact because of its surface tension. This lets the droplet spread more effectively across the surface. At the same time, the water layer operates as a reliable electrical conductor. This nature-integrated design cuts the device’s weight by about 80 percent and lowers the cost by about 50 percent while maintaining similar electrical output compared to conventional systems.
Tests showed that the W-DEG continued to function under diverse temperatures and salt levels, and even in natural lake water. These should be put down to its chemically inert (惰性的) dielectric layer and its naturally flexible water-based structure. To improve reliability further, the team used water’s strong surface tension to design holes that let water move downward. This creates a self-adjusting way to stop water from building up that could affect performance.
The system also charged capacitors (电容器) to useful electric tension only within minutes, showing its potential for powering small electronics and wireless sensors. Moreover, with continued development, similar systems could be positioned on lakes or coastal waters, providing renewable electricity without using any land-based space.
Although the laboratory results are encouraging, extending the service life of large dielectric films in dynamic outdoor conditions will also require further engineering. “By letting water itself play both structural and electrical roles, we’ve opened the door to land free systems that can supplement other renewable technologies like solar and wind.” Professor Wanlin Guo, a corresponding author of the study said.
8. What is W-DEG aimed at?
A. Improving electrical conductors.
B. Generating power from raindrops.
C. Increasing power storage capacity.
D. Turning raindrops into green energy.
9. Why did the research team design the holes in the W-DEG?
A. To make the device lighter. B. To produce more electricity.
C. To prevent the standing water. D. To allow water into the device.
10. What is an advantage of W-DEG according to Paragraph 4?
A. Easy operation. B. Low construction cost.
C. Stable performance. D. Rapid charging capability.
11. What might be a direction of the follow-up research?
A. Cost reduction. B. Material recycling.
C. Durability enhancement. D. Structural transformation.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C

Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty.
Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.
The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.”
Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.
Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”
12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon-feeding?
A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts.
C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity.
13. Which might be a “moment of unease”?
A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds.
B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill.
C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition.
D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field.
14. What can make leaders fail according to the author?
A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience.
C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts.
15. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A. Intuition types and brain functions. B. Initial doubts and competing goals.
C. Brain systems and connection forms. D. Scientific theories and workable tips.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要阐述了人们常被教导追求确定答案,但这会阻碍明智决策。复杂问题无唯一解,过度追求确定性易适得其反。应善用大脑的审慎系统,拥抱怀疑,以学习心态应对不确定性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.(然而,正如弗吉尼亚大学达顿商学院的布迪安·帕尔马尔教授在其新书《激进的怀疑》中所指出的那样:“确定性会让我们变得盲目。一味地灌输所教会我们的,不过是勺子的形状而已”。他的观点令人不安:我们赖以自认为聪明的那些习惯——急于追求最终目标、简化复杂问题、美化最初的反应——恰恰是那些阻碍我们做出明智选择的习惯)”可知,提到“填鸭式教育”所隐含的意思是过分的确定性可能会破坏决策过程。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty.(这就是帕尔玛所说的“不安时刻”:这类决策涉及多重标准,包含相互冲突的目标、巨大的风险以及极大的不确定性)”可知,“不安时刻”涉及多重标准,包含相互冲突的目标、巨大的风险以及极大的不确定性。B选项“当父母生病时,却试图去国外找工作”符合“不安时刻”的描述。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.(我亲眼目睹过一些经验丰富的领导者会忽视那些警示信号,因为他们过于执着于“感觉是对的”这种想法。他们本应停下来或深入探究,却选择了简化问题,从而错失了那些由怀疑所指向的机遇)”可知,导致领导者失败的原因是忽视疑虑。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe).

【答案】Dear Moss,
How is everything going? I’m writing to share something exciting from my school. Our class recently launched a “Campus Vlog” activity to capture beautiful moments.
My vlog focuses on the school library. I filmed students studying intently, the golden sunlight streaming through windows, and the quiet turning of pages. I added soft background music and simple captions to create a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere.
Making this vlog was truly rewarding. It made me appreciate the often-overlooked beauty in our daily school life and allowed me to develop my video editing skills. More importantly, it deepened my connection to our school. I hope you can create a vlog about your campus life too!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Most passers-by noticed the lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back of the supermarket. She was not young, holding a basket with bunches of flowers.
“Would you like the flowers, they are $3?” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded “No, thank you”, as I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands…
I had my own personal struggles, I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same.
When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account And at the same time she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Sigh of relief. I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3.
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。
After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. She was standing there, trembling in the cold. No sooner had she noticed my approach than her weather-beaten face lit up. I said shyly “I would like to buy some of your flowers.”. On hearing that, she instantly put the basket of flowers in front of me, wearing a big and warm smile. The flowers were in full bloom, dancing in the wind. I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted.
I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change. I couldn't help but ask the price of the flowers. “$3 for all!” she explained. Without hesitation, I told her to keep the change. She took the money with shaking hands, tears welling up in her eyes. As I walked away, I hoped someone else could walk up to her and buy the rest flowers. We were all going through our own struggles but no matter how little we could do, it would make a difference.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在超市外看到了一个在寒冷的环境中卖花的人,花的价格是三美元,生活拮据的作者出于对卖花人的同情,在超市付款时取出来三美元的现金决定去买花。听到作者要买花的时候,卖花人很高兴,作者递给她三美元,卖花人要找回零钱时,作者吃惊地询问价格,表示不用找零钱了,卖花人很感动。作者明白了一个道理:我们都在经历自己的挣扎,但无论我们能做的有多少,都会有大影响。
