A dad from Texas didn’t miss a beat when it came to supporting his daughter recently. Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. In the video, as the cheer team members raise the small balls and go through their routine, Andre Simmons follows right along, nailing the moves right alongside them.
The post shared on social media has obtained over 312,000 views. With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as “Cheer Dad of the Year” or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he’s not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine. “Once I got it down pat, I just jumped up there when I heard the band finally bring the song up and I got up there and did it with her,” he said.
But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. “Since she made the cheer team, that was my way of supporting her and kind of relieving the guilt of the lost time. She thought I was doing things that she loved and surprising her with joining her in the cheer during the football game,” Simmons said.
Simmons said Jazlyn and her cheer team friends were surprised and “absolutely loved” that he could join in on the fun. The proud dad said it meant “the world” to him to be able to be there for his daughter too. “I love to try to be a super dad when I’m here and create those lifelong memories and it’s something for us to look back on and enjoy together,” he said and planned on cheering some more and making more memories with Jazlyn.
4. What did Andre Simmons do at his daughter’s cheer performance?
A. He danced with the team. B. He filmed the performance.
C. He coached the cheer team. D. He cheered from the stands.
5. How did people find Andre Simmons’ behavior?
A. Amusing. B. Disturbing. C. Odd. D. Admirable.
6. Why did Andre Simmons make such a decision?
A. To win the title of “Cheer Dad of the Year”.
B. To show off his newly learned dancing skills.
C. To be the focus of attention on the Internet.
D. To make up for being absent from Jazlyn’s life.
7. Which words can best describe Andre Simmons?
A. Bearable and cautious. B. Selfless and cooperative.
C. Supportive and caring. D. Ambitious and sensitive.
C
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
9. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
10. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next?
C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
13. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
15. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.

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。
Kevin, a young man in his twenties, got home from work. He opened the fridge and grabbed one bottle of drink from dozens of various caffeinated drinks. Like some other young people, Kevin was in a pattern of unhealthy living. He often stayed up late, accompanied with late-night snacks like ice cream and pizza. He rushed through his day with skipping breakfast or eating on the go. He was feeding primarily on high-fat, high-calorie foods like fast food, sugary snacks, and caffeinated drinks.
When back from work, Kevin spent most of his free time sitting on the sofa, browsing smartphone screen, rarely engaging in physical activity, which caused him overweight.
One evening, as he scrolled through his phone on the sofa as usual, a piece of news caught his eye. It was about a 5-year-old girl named Melody, who was battling leukemia (白血病) and in desperate need of a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant. The story tugged at Kevin’s heartstrings, and he felt a sudden urge to help. The next day, he went to the hospital and asked for getting tested for bone marrow compatibility (相容).
To his delight, the test results showed that he was a perfect match for Melody. Excitement filled his heart as he prepared for the donation process. However, during his following medical check-ups, Kevin was informed that he had fatty liver (脂肪肝), meaning that he was unqualified to be a suitable donor at present unless his condition improved.
The thought of little Melody lying in a hospital bed waiting for a life-saving transplant, drove Kevin into action. He resolved to make significant changes to his lifestyle to improve his health and become a suitable donor. He began by adopting a strict exercise plan, incorporating daily runs into his routine. His diet underwent a transformation as well, with healthier food choices replacing his previous ones. He also made a conscious effort to get more sleep and reduce his screen time.
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。
Day by day, Kevin’s commitment to his new lifestyle began to show results.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The experience significantly impacted Kevin.

A dad from Texas didn’t miss a beat when it came to supporting his daughter recently. Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. In the video, as the cheer team members raise the small balls and go through their routine, Andre Simmons follows right along, nailing the moves right alongside them.
The post shared on social media has obtained over 312,000 views. With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as “Cheer Dad of the Year” or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he’s not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine. “Once I got it down pat, I just jumped up there when I heard the band finally bring the song up and I got up there and did it with her,” he said.
But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. “Since she made the cheer team, that was my way of supporting her and kind of relieving the guilt of the lost time. She thought I was doing things that she loved and surprising her with joining her in the cheer during the football game,” Simmons said.
Simmons said Jazlyn and her cheer team friends were surprised and “absolutely loved” that he could join in on the fun. The proud dad said it meant “the world” to him to be able to be there for his daughter too. “I love to try to be a super dad when I’m here and create those lifelong memories and it’s something for us to look back on and enjoy together,” he said and planned on cheering some more and making more memories with Jazlyn.
4. What did Andre Simmons do at his daughter’s cheer performance?
A. He danced with the team. B. He filmed the performance.
C. He coached the cheer team. D. He cheered from the stands.
5. How did people find Andre Simmons’ behavior?
A. Amusing. B. Disturbing. C. Odd. D. Admirable.
6. Why did Andre Simmons make such a decision?
A. To win the title of “Cheer Dad of the Year”.
B. To show off his newly learned dancing skills.
C. To be the focus of attention on the Internet.
D. To make up for being absent from Jazlyn’s life.
7. Which words can best describe Andre Simmons?
A Bearable and cautious. B. Selfless and cooperative.
C. Supportive and caring. D. Ambitious and sensitive.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是Andre Simmons在他女儿Jazlyn和她的高中啦啦队表演时,与她们一起跳舞以此支持女儿并弥补因工作繁忙而错过的陪伴时光,创造了难忘的记忆。

While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
9. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
10. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next?
C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了西方城市过度围绕汽车设计导致行人流动性下降,尤其是儿童步行减少的现象,并通过历史案例和现状分析呼吁反思街道功能,重视城市宜居性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead. (虽然近年来我们的街道可能已经改善了安全性,但交通研究也表明行人的流动性下降,尤其是年轻儿童。许多家长说,路上的交通太拥挤,他们的孩子无法安全步行上学,所以他们把孩子塞进车里)”可知,作者指出的现象是人们步行减少、开车增多。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” (最著名的是,一位加拿大记者在20世纪50年代初举家迁往曼哈顿,她领导了一场阻止当地公园被毁的运动。在描述她对用高速公路取代公园的提议感到震惊时,Jane Jacobs呼吁她的市长捍卫“纽约作为适宜居住的地方,而不仅是匆匆穿过的通道”)”可推知,加拿大记者和其他运动参与者旨在保持城市宜居性。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. (尽管这些运动很普遍,但现实是大多数西方城市完全围绕汽车需求重新设计。道路上的汽车数量一直在迅速增加)”可推知,20世纪60年代末和70年代澳大利亚的竞选活动未能阻止汽车发展,基本上没有效果。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据文章最后一段“We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? (我们在帮助我们快速通过的道路上投入了大量资金,但我们没有考虑到真正的成本。我们真的认识到当孩子们不能在我们的社区安全地移动时,我们作为一个社会将会付出什么代价吗)”可推知,本文批判城市过度追求交通效率、忽视行人需求的现象,A项“Why the Rush? (为何匆匆?)”质问“rush through (匆匆通行)”的规划理念,契合主旨,最适合作为本文标题。故选A。
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
13. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
15. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D

But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. (至关重要的是,这一过程依赖于含有足够碳酸钙的水来截留塑料。在这项研究中,将含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水煮沸后,塑料含量下降了近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中,煮沸只降低了25%的塑料含量)”可知,决定在水中截留微塑料的有效性的是水的硬度。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly diffcult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. (尽管如此,研究结果显示了减少微塑料接触的潜在途径——这一任务正变得越来越困难。今年早些时候,科学家们发现,即使是瓶装水,其微塑料含量也比原先想象的高出10到1000倍。)”可推断,作者提到瓶装水是为了说明微塑料污染的严重性。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” (苏格兰格拉斯哥大学的环境工程师Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay没有参与这项研究,她告诉《新科学家》杂志:“他们展示微塑料如何在煮沸过程中被截留的方式很不错。”“我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,以便它们能去除微塑料”)”可推知,Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议是关于这项研究结果的潜在应用,即升级饮用水处理厂。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国钢琴家郎朗在洛杉矶好莱坞星光大道出席授星仪式,成为首位获得这项殊荣的亚洲钢琴家。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:周三,中国钢琴家郎朗在洛杉矶好莱坞星光大道上以现场表演的形式出席授星仪式。空处作句子的谓语,根据“on Wednesday”可知,此处在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,honour“给……荣誉”和主语Chinese pianist Lang Lang之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是单数,be动词应用was。故填was honoured。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:郎朗是首位在这条著名的星光大道上授星的亚洲钢琴家,在国内外都很受欢迎。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Lang,先行词指人,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who作引导词。故填who。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:“国际著名钢琴家郎朗在全球销售了数百万张唱片,”好莱坞商会主席尼森说。空处修饰形容词famous,应用international的副词形式internationally,意为“国际地”,且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Internationally。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:尼森说:“作为世界上最具影响力的古典音乐家之一,郎朗在社交媒体上拥有众多粉丝。”根据“number of followers on the social media”可知,此处应用固定短语a number of表示“大量的,众多的”。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:好莱坞星光大道的制作人安娜·马丁内斯在一份声明中说:“好莱坞商会很自豪地认可郎朗对世界古典音乐界的杰出贡献,并在好莱坞星光大道上为他的惊人才华加盖一颗星。”固定短语be proud to do意为“自豪地做某事”,空处应用recognise“认可”的不定式形式。故填to recognise。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:好莱坞星光大道的制作人安娜·马丁内斯在一份声明中说:“好莱坞商会很自豪地认可郎朗对世界古典音乐界的杰出贡献,并在好莱坞星光大道上为他的惊人才华加盖一颗星。”空处连接前后的recognise和celebrate,两者之间是顺承关系,应用并列连词and。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:音乐是文化交流的重要组成部分。空处是修饰part的定语,significance的形容词形式significant符合题意,意为“重要的”。故填significant。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:他希望未来有更多来自中国的音乐家和艺术家充当文化桥梁,将中国文化带给西方观众。根据“cultural bridges”可知,此处用固定短语serve as表示“充当,担任”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:他希望未来有更多来自中国的音乐家和艺术家充当文化桥梁,将中国文化带给西方观众。空处作介词to的宾语,空前没有表示单数概念的修饰语,可数名词viewer“观众”应用复数形式,表泛指。故填viewers。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“人们通过音乐交流,”郎朗说,他补充说,他希望激励尽可能多的人学习一种乐器。句子已有谓语said,空处是非谓语,add“补充说”和Lang逻辑上是主动关系,应用add的现在分词形式,作状语。故填adding。

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。
Kevin, a young man in his twenties, got home from work. He opened the fridge and grabbed one bottle of drink from dozens of various caffeinated drinks. Like some other young people, Kevin was in a pattern of unhealthy living. He often stayed up late, accompanied with late-night snacks like ice cream and pizza. He rushed through his day with skipping breakfast or eating on the go. He was feeding primarily on high-fat, high-calorie foods like fast food, sugary snacks, and caffeinated drinks.
When back from work, Kevin spent most of his free time sitting on the sofa, browsing smartphone screen, rarely engaging in physical activity, which caused him overweight.
One evening, as he scrolled through his phone on the sofa as usual, a piece of news caught his eye. It was about a 5-year-old girl named Melody, who was battling leukemia (白血病) and in desperate need of a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant. The story tugged at Kevin’s heartstrings, and he felt a sudden urge to help. The next day, he went to the hospital and asked for getting tested for bone marrow compatibility (相容).
To his delight, the test results showed that he was a perfect match for Melody. Excitement filled his heart as he prepared for the donation process. However, during his following medical check-ups, Kevin was informed that he had fatty liver (脂肪肝), meaning that he was unqualified to be a suitable donor at present unless his condition improved.
The thought of little Melody lying in a hospital bed, waiting for a life-saving transplant, drove Kevin into action. He resolved to make significant changes to his lifestyle to improve his health and become a suitable donor. He began by adopting a strict exercise plan, incorporating daily runs into his routine. His diet underwent a transformation as well, with healthier food choices replacing his previous ones. He also made a conscious effort to get more sleep and reduce his screen time.
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。
Day by day, Kevin’s commitment to his new lifestyle began to show results.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The experience significantly impacted Kevin.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Day by day, Kevin’s commitment to his new lifestyle began to show results. After two months of unwavering efforts, his body began to respond to the changes, and he felt newfound energy and vigour. Kevin returned for another medical check-up. To his relief and joy, the doctors announced that his fatty liver had disappeared, and his overall health had significantly improved, making him an excellent candidate for bone marrow donation. Without any hesitation, Kevin proceeded with the donation process. The procedure of the transplant was a success and he felt an immense sense of accomplishment.
The experience significantly impacted Kevin. He was aware that his behavior made a difference not only in Melody’s life but also in his own. For one thing, his heart swelled with pride knowing that he played a crucial role in saving the life of little Melody. For another, he had turned his own life around for the better. The journey to becoming a suitable donor had been challenging, but it had also been incredibly rewarding. Kevin was motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Apart from that, he learned the value of discipline, perseverance, and the importance of self-care.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述Kevin有一个不健康的生活方式,有一天他发现自己的骨髓可以和一个名叫梅洛迪的5岁白血病女孩配对,但是因为自己身体问题不能成为合适的捐献者。于是他决定开始对自己的生活方式做出改变。
