Appearing in November in Downtown Square and community markets, this free pop-up booth draws neighbors in for heartening conversations, especially during times when loneliness or stress can creep in. Organized on McKinney Main Street, it brings people together, allowing them to connect through shared stories and moments of warmth. This feel-good experience invites anyone to stop by, sit a spell, and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental. As Grandma Nancy recently told CBS News with a smile, “Grandmas are loving people as a rule.” Her words capture exactly what makes this space so special — a welcoming spot where people of all ages can pause, talk, laugh, or simply be listened to. The concept began back in 2012 in New York City. After seeing how a heartfelt chat with his 95-year-old grandmother Eileen lifted a friend’s spirits, Mike Matthews knew there was something powerful in grandmotherly presence. What started with a lemonade-stand-style booth became a regular Saturday event on street corners across the city. Even after Eileen passed away at the remarkable age of 102, Matthews felt the world still needed that gentle listening ear, so he revived the Stand with a bright purple booth (Eileen’s favorite color) and a circle of grandmas ready to offer encouragement and wise insight. Admittedly, it’s true that everyone needs a listening ear sometimes, and in the gentle wisdom of a grandma, we see this gift in its purest form. In a world that often feels fast-paced and digitally distant, the Grandma Stand is a delightful reminder of something timeless — healing power in genuine human connection. It’s a gentle nudge to slow down, hear one another, and remember that empathy is something we all can and should give. 4. Which can be used to describe the grandmas at the Stand? A. Wise but critical. B. Attentive but demanding. C. Professional and instructive. D. Warm-hearted and receptive. 5. What is the key feature of the Grandma Stand service? A. It highlights wise suggestions. B. It is free and open to anyone. C. It functions as a lemonade-style stand. D. It provides professional counseling sessions. 6. Why did Mike Matthews restart the Grandma Stand? A. To memorize his grandma. B. To market its purple booth. C. To meet the need of heartening listening. D. To encourage more grandmas to participate. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. More than a Grandma Stand B. Reducing Stress in Urban Life C. In Honor of an Excellent Grandma D. Strengthening the Sense of Community 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍美国德州的奶奶摊位，为人们提供暖心交流与倾听，传递人与人之间的真诚关怀。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This feel-good experience invites anyone to stop by, sit a spell, and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental. (这种美好的体验邀请任何人驻足、小坐，与一位“奶奶”交谈——她们睿智、温暖，且非常包容、不评判。)”可知，摊位上的奶奶们热心且善于倾听、接纳。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Appearing in November in Downtown Square and community markets, this free pop-up booth draws neighbors in for heartening conversations, especially during times when loneliness or stress can creep in. (这个免费的快闪摊位于11月亮相市中心广场和社区市集，吸引邻里们前来暖心交谈，尤其是在孤独感或压力悄然袭来的时刻。)”以及第二段中的“This feel-good experience invites anyone to stop by, sit a spell, and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental. (这种美好的体验邀请任何人驻足、小坐，与一位“奶奶”交谈——她们睿智、温暖，且非常包容、不评判。)”可知，奶奶摊位服务的核心特点是免费且对所有人开放。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Even after Eileen passed away at the remarkable age of 102, Matthews felt the world still needed that gentle listening ear, so he revived the Stand with a bright purple booth (Eileen’s favorite color) and a circle of grandmas ready to offer encouragement and wise insight. (即便艾琳以102岁的高寿离世后，马修斯仍觉得这个世界依然需要这样温柔倾听的人。于是他重新设立了这个摊位，用亮紫色的展位（这是艾琳最爱的颜色），并请来一群老奶奶围坐在一起，随时准备给予鼓励与睿智的见解。)”可知，迈克·马修斯重启奶奶摊位是为了满足人们暖心倾听的需求。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“In a world that often feels fast-paced and digitally distant, the Grandma Stand is a delightful reminder of something timeless — healing power in genuine human connection.

A new study of mice suggests that even small amounts of aspartame may negatively affect heart and brain health in the long term. Over the course of a year, researchers led by a team from the Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials in Spain had been adding small amounts of aspartame to the diets of male mice. This dose, given three days every two weeks, was about one-sixth of the currently acceptable daily human intake set by the World Health Organization. By the end of the study, these mice lost more weight than untreated mice, having 10-20% less body fat. Moreover, they developed worrying signs of heart and brain damage. The hearts of mice given aspartame showed reduced pumping efficiency and minor structural changes. Their brains also revealed changes in glucose (葡萄糖) absorption, first increasing but then dropping significantly, which could reduce the energy available for proper brain function. This was reflected in the fact that aspartame-treated mice struggled more with memory and learning tasks. For example, they moved slower and spent longer escaping from mazes, showing cognitive decline. “The study demonstrates that long-term exposure to artificial sweeteners can have a detrimental impact on organ function even at low doses, which suggests that current consumption guidelines should be critically re-examined,” the researchers wrote in their published paper. Although the researchers noted that the cognitive changes were “relatively mild” compared with earlier studies in which mice consumed aspartame daily or for a longer period, they still advised extreme caution. They suggested that children and adolescents should avoid taking in it as much as possible, especially as a regular part of their diet unless the neurological (神经系统的) effects of aspartame are well-understood enough to guarantee their safety. 8. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By studying a case. B. By giving examples. C. By comparing different subjects. D. By referring to former researchers. 9. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Side. B. Uncertain. C. Harmful. D. Temporary 10. What do the researchers suggest children and teenagers doing? A. Taking aspartame because it is safe. B. Minimizing their intake of aspartame. C. Replacing aspartame with natural sugar. D. Increasing their intake of aspartame to lose weight. 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce a study on aspartame. B. To call on people to resist aspartame. C. To prove that artificial sweeteners are safe. D. To present the research process about aspartame. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于阿斯巴甜对小鼠心脏和大脑健康影响的研究，并提出了对当前消费指南的重新审视建议，特别是针对儿童和青少年的摄入建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Over the course of a year, researchers led by a team from the Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials in Spain had been adding small amounts of aspartame to the diets of male mice. (在为期一年的研究中，由西班牙生物材料合作研究中心的一个团队领导的研究人员一直在给雄性小鼠的饮食中添加少量阿斯巴甜)”以及第三段中“By the end of the study, these mice lost more weight than untreated mice, having 10-20% less body fat. Moreover, they developed worrying signs of heart and brain damage. (到研究结束时，这些小鼠比未处理的小鼠体重减轻了更多，体脂减少了10-20%。此外，它们还出现了令人担忧的心脏和大脑损伤迹象)”可知，研究人员让一些小鼠摄入阿斯巴甜，而另一些没有做相应处理，然后通过对这两种研究对象的对比来开展研究。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The study demonstrates that long-term exposure to artificial sweeteners can have a detrimental impact on organ function even at low doses, which suggests that current consumption guidelines should be critically re-examined (该研究表明，即使低剂量长期接触人工甜味剂，也会对器官功能造成detrimental影响。这一发现提示，当前关于人工甜味剂的摄入标准亟需重新审视)”中建议“人工甜味剂的摄入标准亟需重新审视”可推知，长期接触人工甜味剂对器官功能有有害影响，故需重新审视摄入标准。所以划线词detrimental意为“有害的”，与“Harmful”同义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They suggested that children and adolescents should avoid taking in it as much as possible, especially as a regular part of their diet unless the neurological (神经系统的) effects of aspartame are well-understood enough to guarantee their safety. (他们建议儿童和青少年应尽量避免摄入阿斯巴甜，尤其是作为日常饮食的一部分，除非对阿斯巴甜的神经影响有足够的了解，能够保证他们的安全)”可知，研究人员建议儿童和青少年尽量减少阿斯巴甜的摄入量。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“A new study of mice suggests that even small amounts of aspartame may negatively affect heart and brain health in the long term. (一项新的小鼠研究表明，即使是少量的阿斯巴甜，长期来看也可能对心脏和大脑健康产生负面影响)”以及后文对研究过程、结果和建议的介绍可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一项关于阿斯巴甜的研究。故选A项。 D Like most three-year-olds, Aisha could be a handful — but she’s an 11-year-old orangutan (红毛猩猩) at the San Diego Zoo. Her habit of bothering her parents by pulling their fur and stealing their snacks echoes the naughtiness of bored human kids throwing fits in supermarket checkout lines, sparking a curious question: is this similarity merely surface-level, or a sign of shared cognitive roots in play, learning and social bonding? Since 2005, researchers have probed into teasing in humans and great apes, exploring its tricky position between harmless play and mild aggression. Playful teasing, from silly tricks to lighthearted jokes, lets humans test social boundaries and showcase the strength of their relationships. Notably, studies suggest great apes do it too; this challenges the long-held idea that humor is a unique human trait. The research journey kicked off with a memorable observation: a baby orangutan was swinging from a rope, repeatedly offering a piece of bark and receiving one from its mother lying on a straw bed. This playful back-and-forth followed the core “setup-and-punchline” structure of a child’s favorite hide-and-seek joke. In 2020, a research team launched a video-based study on zoo apes — orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) — revealing consistent teasing behaviors across species, despite their wildly diverse social structures: tree-dwelling orangutans living alone, ground-dwelling gorilla families, and complex chimpanzee and bonobo communities. Researchers created a coding system to find out the key traits of playful teasing: unfixed actions without any bad intentions, surprise elements, repetitive gestures, and the teaser pausing to check the target’s reaction. Young apes teased most often, running around to playfully hit, grab toys, or hide behind rocks to surprise peers gently, but adults joined in too — like Sandra, a clever chimpanzee who repeatedly blocked a youngster’s attempts to use a stick on a feeder, just for the fun of it. Targets rarely reacted aggressively. Instead, they ignored the teaser, playfully waved them away, or even returned the mischief with a friendly tickle or a good-natured nudge. This charming behavior fosters critical social skills: teasers must predict others’ responses, which is a foundational ability for living in complex social groups. Found in all four great ape species, playful teasing likely dates back 13 million years to our shared ancestor — a fact that proves the first joke was told long before humans existed. Today, scientists invite animal lovers worldwide to share their own stories of animal teasing online, unlocking more delightful secrets of cross-species humor. 12. Why does the author mention Aisha at the beginning? A. To introduce a research question. B. To emphasize her childish naughtiness. C. To prove apes’ cognitive similarity to humans. D. To highlight the impact of boredom on behavior. 13. What can we infer about humor from the study? A. Apes have humor-related traits. B. It is achieved by fixed actions. C. It mainly helps adults guide young apes’ behavior. D. Apes in complex societies show more sophisticated humor. 14. What can be learned about the study on ape teasing? A. Teasing can cause conflicts. B. Further research should be done. C. It focuses on a single ape species. D. Teasing is different from harmless play. 15. What is mainly talked about in the passage? A. Analysis of social functions in apes. B. Comparison of apes’ diverse social structures. C. Exploration in the roots of cross-species humor. D. Investigation into social functions of ape teasing. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对人类和类人猿戏弄行为的研究，探索跨物种幽默的根源。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Her habit of bothering her parents by pulling their fur and stealing their snacks echoes the naughtiness of bored human kids throwing fits in supermarket checkout lines, sparking a curious question: is this similarity merely surface-level, or a sign of shared cognitive roots in play, learning and social bonding? (她拉扯父母毛发、偷零食的行为，与无聊的人类孩子在超市收银台发脾气时的淘气如出一辙，这引发了一个有趣的问题：这种相似性仅仅是表面的，还是玩耍、学习和社会联结中共同认知根源的标志？)”可知，作者开头提到Aisha是为了引入一个研究问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Notably, studies suggest great apes do it too; this challenges the long-held idea that humor is a unique human trait. (值得注意的是，研究表明类人猿也会这样做；这挑战了长期以来认为幽默是人类独特特征的观点)”可知，从研究中我们可以推断出类人猿具有与幽默相关的特质。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Today, scientists invite animal lovers worldwide to share their own stories of animal teasing online, unlocking more delightful secrets of cross-species humor. (如今，科学家们邀请世界各地的动物爱好者在网上分享他们自己的动物戏弄故事，以揭开更多跨物种幽默的有趣秘密)”可知，关于类人猿戏弄行为的研究还需要进一步开展。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段“Since 2005, researchers have probed into teasing in humans and great apes, exploring its tricky position between harmless play and mild aggression.

Every time he heard that sound, Mark’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Mark just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad — he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking so much? What if it caused a serious disease? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Mark’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Mark’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Mark approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Mark’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes when coming home to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it’s still so hard on him, on us…” The next day at school, Mark was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?” Mark asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Mark. This gave Mark a ray of hope and an idea. 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。 Mark decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Mark found a reply from his dad on his bed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mark decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. He sat down at his desk and began to write a heartfelt letter to his dad. In the letter, he expressed his love and concern for his dad’s health, describing how worried he and his mom were about the potential consequences of smoking. He also shared his memories of the happy times they had spent together and how much he wanted his dad to be around for a long time. Finally, he gently suggested that his dad consider quitting smoking for his own good and for the sake of his family. The next day, Mark found a reply from his dad on his bed. His dad had written a note saying that he had read Mark’s letter carefully and was deeply touched by his son’s love and concern. He admitted that he had been aware of the risks of smoking but had been too weak to quit. However, Mark’s letter had given him the strength and motivation he needed. He promised Mark that he would try his best to quit smoking and would seek help if necessary. Mark was overjoyed to read his dad’s reply and felt a sense of relief wash over him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以马克父亲吸烟为线索展开，讲述马克担忧父亲吸烟损害健康，父母劝说无果后，马克从同学处获得希望，决心采取行动让父亲戒烟。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“马克决定采取行动，希望能鼓励父亲做出改变。”可知，第一段可描写马克选择写信的方式，在信中倾诉对父亲的爱与担忧，回忆美好时光，委婉劝说父亲戒烟。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，马克在他的床上发现了父亲的回信。”可知，第二段可描写父亲被信打动，承认自己的问题，承诺努力戒烟，马克因此感到欣喜和释然。 2. 续写线索：马克写劝诫信——父亲读信受触动——父亲写回信承诺戒烟——马克看到回信倍感欣慰 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①表达：express/convey/voice ②建议：suggest/propose ③承诺：promise/commit/pledge 情绪类 ①担忧：concern/worry/anxiety ②感动：touched/moved ③欣喜：overjoyed/delighted/ecstatic 【点睛】[高分句型1] In the letter, he expressed his love and concern for his dad’s health, describing how worried he and his mom were about the potential consequences of smoking.

Appearing in November in Downtown Square and community markets, this free pop-up booth draws neighbors in for heartening conversations, especially during times when loneliness or stress can creep in. Organized on McKinney Main Street, it brings people together, allowing them to connect through shared stories and moments of warmth. This feel-good experience invites anyone to stop by, sit a spell, and share a conversation with a “grandma” — wise, warm, and wonderfully non-judgmental. As Grandma Nancy recently told CBS News with a smile, “Grandmas are loving people as a rule.” Her words capture exactly what makes this space so special — a welcoming spot where people of all ages can pause, talk, laugh, or simply be listened to. The concept began back in 2012 in New York City. After seeing how a heartfelt chat with his 95-year-old grandmother Eileen lifted a friend’s spirits, Mike Matthews knew there was something powerful in grandmotherly presence. What started with a lemonade-stand-style booth became a regular Saturday event on street corners across the city. Even after Eileen passed away at the remarkable age of 102, Matthews felt the world still needed that gentle listening ear, so he revived the Stand with a bright purple booth (Eileen’s favorite color) and a circle of grandmas ready to offer encouragement and wise insight. Admittedly, it’s true that everyone needs a listening ear sometimes, and in the gentle wisdom of a grandma, we see this gift in its purest form. In a world that often feels fast-paced and digitally distant, the Grandma Stand is a delightful reminder of something timeless — healing power in genuine human connection. It’s a gentle nudge to slow down, hear one another, and remember that empathy is something we all can and should give. 4. Which can be used to describe the grandmas at the Stand? A. Wise but critical. B. Attentive but demanding. C. Professional and instructive. D. Warm-hearted and receptive. 5. What is the key feature of the Grandma Stand service? A. It highlights wise suggestions. B. It is free and open to anyone. C. It functions as a lemonade-style stand. D. It provides professional counseling sessions. 6. Why did Mike Matthews restart the Grandma Stand? A. To memorize his grandma. B. To market its purple booth. C. To meet the need of heartening listening. D. To encourage more grandmas to participate. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. More than a Grandma Stand B. Reducing Stress in Urban Life C. In Honor of an Excellent Grandma D. Strengthening the Sense of Community C The artificial sweetener aspartame (阿斯巴甜) can be found in everything from chewing gum to fizzy drinks and tabletop sweeteners. A new study of mice suggests that even small amounts of aspartame may negatively affect heart and brain health in the long term. Over the course of a year, researchers led by a team from the Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials in Spain had been adding small amounts of aspartame to the diets of male mice. This dose, given three days every two weeks, was about one-sixth of the currently acceptable daily human intake set by the World Health Organization. By the end of the study, these mice lost more weight than untreated mice, having 10-20% less body fat. Moreover, they developed worrying signs of heart and brain damage. The hearts of mice given aspartame showed reduced pumping efficiency and minor structural changes. Their brains also revealed changes in glucose (葡萄糖) absorption, first increasing but then dropping significantly, which could reduce the energy available for proper brain function. This was reflected in the fact that aspartame-treated mice struggled more with memory and learning tasks. For example, they moved slower and spent longer escaping from mazes, showing cognitive decline. “The study demonstrates that long-term exposure to artificial sweeteners can have a detrimental impact on organ function even at low doses, which suggests that current consumption guidelines should be critically re-examined,” the researchers wrote in their published paper. Although the researchers noted that the cognitive changes were “relatively mild” compared with earlier studies in which mice consumed aspartame daily or for a longer period, they still advised extreme caution. They suggested that children and adolescents should avoid taking in it as much as possible, especially as a regular part of their diet unless the neurological (神经系统的) effects of aspartame are well-understood enough to guarantee their safety. 8. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By studying a case. B. By giving examples. C. By comparing different subjects. D. By referring to former researchers. 9. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Side. B. Uncertain. C. Harmful. D. Temporary 10. What do the researchers suggest children and teenagers doing? A. Taking aspartame because it is safe. B. Minimizing their intake of aspartame. C. Replacing aspartame with natural sugar. D. Increasing their intake of aspartame to lose weight. 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce a study on aspartame. B. To call on people to resist aspartame. C. To prove that artificial sweeteners are safe. D. To present the research process about aspartame. D Like most three-year-olds, Aisha could be a handful — but she’s an 11-year-old orangutan (红毛猩猩) at the San Diego Zoo. Her habit of bothering her parents by pulling their fur and stealing their snacks echoes the naughtiness of bored human kids throwing fits in supermarket checkout lines, sparking a curious question: is this similarity merely surface-level, or a sign of shared cognitive roots in play, learning and social bonding? Since 2005, researchers have probed into teasing in humans and great apes, exploring its tricky position between harmless play and mild aggression. Playful teasing, from silly tricks to lighthearted jokes, lets humans test social boundaries and showcase the strength of their relationships. Notably, studies suggest great apes do it too; this challenges the long-held idea that humor is a unique human trait. The research journey kicked off with a memorable observation: a baby orangutan was swinging from a rope, repeatedly offering a piece of bark and receiving one from its mother lying on a straw bed. This playful back-and-forth followed the core “setup-and-punchline” structure of a child’s favorite hide-and-seek joke. In 2020, a research team launched a video-based study on zoo apes — orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) — revealing consistent teasing behaviors across species, despite their wildly diverse social structures: tree-dwelling orangutans living alone, ground-dwelling gorilla families, and complex chimpanzee and bonobo communities. Researchers created a coding system to find out the key traits of playful teasing: unfixed actions without any bad intentions, surprise elements, repetitive gestures, and the teaser pausing to check the target’s reaction. Young apes teased most often, running around to playfully hit, grab toys, or hide behind rocks to surprise peers gently, but adults joined in too — like Sandra, a clever chimpanzee who repeatedly blocked a youngster’s attempts to use a stick on a feeder, just for the fun of it. Targets rarely reacted aggressively. Instead, they ignored the teaser, playfully waved them away, or even returned the mischief with a friendly tickle or a good-natured nudge. This charming behavior fosters critical social skills: teasers must predict others’ responses, which is a foundational ability for living in complex social groups. Found in all four great ape species, playful teasing likely dates back 13 million years to our shared ancestor — a fact that proves the first joke was told long before humans existed.

Every time he heard that sound, Mark’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Mark just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad — he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking so much? What if it caused a serious disease? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Mark’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Mark’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Mark approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Mark’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes when coming home to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it’s still so hard on him, on us…” The next day at school, Mark was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?” Mark asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Mark. This gave Mark a ray of hope and an idea. 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。 Mark decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Mark found a reply from his dad on his bed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?
