The EV Revolution’s Next Challenge: Rethinking How We Charge
As nations push for electric vehicle (EV) adoption to cut transport emissions, a new concern is emerging: the biggest challenge is no longer the cars themselves, but the infrastructure (基础设施) needed to power them.
“Gas Station” Model
Current charging infrastructure often mirrors the traditional petrol station model, focusing on high-powered, rapid-charging points. However, this approach presents several issues:
· Grid (电网) Pressure: Concentrated high-power demand can overwhelm local electricity networks.
· High Cost: Installing and maintaining rapid chargers is expensive.
· Access Inequality: It fails to serve about 30% of urban residents without access to private parking.
“Opportunity Charging” Model
It is a promising alternative. The more sustainable model involves using a distributed network of slower, lower-power chargers at destinations where people already park for hours at a time.
· Locations: Supermarkets, cinemas, workplaces, and residential streets.
· Benefits: Uses existing spare time, reduces grid pressure, and lowers installation costs. A study by the Urban Mobility Institute found this model could increase EV adoption in cities by up to 40% by making ownership accessible to those without garages.
Expert Insight
“The goal isn’t to make charging as fast as refueling,” says Prof. Tim Litvin, an energy infrastructure specialist. “The real innovation is in making charging effortless with smart, convenient infrastructure fading into daily life, not just in building larger batteries.”
1. What is a major disadvantage of the current rapid-charging model?
A. It overloads local grids. B. It charges EVs too slowly.
C. It needs no maintenance. D. It works only in rural areas.
2. What’s the underlying logic of opportunity charging?
A. Making batteries cheaper. B. Selling more rapid chargers.
C. Building bigger parking lots. D. Charging while parked anyway.
3. What does Prof. Litvin expect about the real innovation?
A. Doubling the EV battery size. B. Beating the speed of refueling.
C. Integrating charging into daily life. D. Covering cities with giant stations.

At seven, Suzanne Heywood and her brother Jonathan were taken out of school by their parents for a planned three-year round-the-world voyage. The UK family aimed to follow Captain Cook’s final global trip, but the journey lasted 10 years — far longer than promised.
Suzanne’s parents called it a “privilege” and the “trip of a lifetime,” yet she later compared it to “being locked up in prison.” Now 55, she has shared her story on TikTok and in her autobiography Wavewalker, She recalled her father once saying, “We would be back in three years’ time, and that my dog would be waiting for me, and my friends and school and everything would go back to normal.” But in reality, nearly a decade passed before their return, with her trapped on the boat, unable to attend school or make friends.
The voyage was “incredibly dangerous,” despite her father’s promise of safety. During a trip from South Africa to Australia, a huge storm hit. A big wave crashed through the boat, throwing seven-year-old Suzanne across the deck (甲板) and breaking her skull and nose. Three days later, they found a small Indian Ocean island, where she had multiple head surgeries without anaesthetic (麻醉药).
To cope with her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne decided to educate herself, which was the only lifeline back to ordinary days. In 1969, with no remote learning, she joined an Australian correspondence school at 13, studying in the boat’s small cabin despite missing much schoolwork. At 16, she and her 15-year-old brother were sent to a New Zealand school while their parents kept sailing.
Later, Suzanne got into Oxford University. She saved money from farm work to buy a one-way ticket back to the UK. After her husband’s death in 2018, she shared her story; her book became a bestseller, and she still deals with her childhood trauma (创伤). Her tale has touched millions, with fans praising her bravery and finding inspiration in her life.
4. Why did Suzanne Heywood and her brother leave school?
A. To write a book about Captain Cook. B. To go on a voyage with their parents.
C. To assist in captaining the family boat. D. To study at a sea-training school abroad.
5. What is Wavewalker most likely to be about?
A. A tale of Captain Cook’s voyage route. B. An introduction to the study in Oxford.
C. A return from deadly seas to normal life. D. An account of her happy life with friends.
6. How did Suzanne start to get her life back on track?
A. By working on a farm. B. By persuading her parents.
C. By sharing her story online. D. By joining a part-time school.
7. Which saying best matches Suzanne’s experience?
A. Broken sails still reach shore. B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. A merry heart goes all the way. D. The early bird catches the worm.
C
In an age where we are more connected than ever through digital devices, a strange paradox (悖论) has emerged: we are increasingly disconnected from the immediate world around us. Urban sociologists note a decline in unplanned social interactions in public spaces like parks, plazas, and even on public transport. People are often glued to their screens, unaware of their surroundings or the people around them.
This shift worries thinkers like Sherry Turkle, a renowned psychologist from MIT. In her book Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age, she argues that our addiction to phones is costing us the deep, empathetic connections that come from face-to-face conversation. This isn’t just a personal loss; it has societal implications. Public spaces are the stages where community life unfolds, and when we draw back from them, the very bond of society weakens.
Some cities are consciously fighting this trend. Urban planners are now designing “talk-friendly” spaces — benches that face each other, pedestrian zones free from traffic noise, and public parks with free Wi-Fi to attract people, but also with features that encourage them to look up and engage. The goal is not to avoid technology, but to rebalance its role in our lives.
The challenge is vast, with decades of technological advancement designed to capture our attention. However, the solution begins with awareness. As Turkle suggests, it’s about making conscious choices to create device-free zones and times, to be present in the moment. It’s time to look up from our screens and rediscover the value of the unfiltered world and the people who share it with us.
So silence your screen for a moment. Lift your eyes. Every shared smile or quick hello rethreads the neighborhood, recharging the human battery that no algorithm (算法) can replace.
8. What phenomenon does the author point out first?
A. Public spaces are becoming overcrowded. B. Digital devices often have technical issues.
C. Social media platforms are losing popularity. D. People are less involved in their surroundings.
9. What suffers most from our addiction to screen according to Turkle?
A. Online privacy. B. Physical health.
C. Interpersonal bonds. D. Individual productivity.
10. Why did urban planners create the “talk-friendly” spaces?
A. To encourage in-person communication. B. To focus on beauty rather than practicality.
C. To replace social media with real interaction. D. To attract people with advanced technology.
11. What does the underlined word “unfiltered” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Pure. B. Real. C. Perfect. D. Simple.
D
What if a startup’s first team member was an AI agent, not a human? This question led Microsoft and NYU Stern’s Tech MBA program to a special project. Thirty students formed six startup teams, using Microsoft 365 Copilot (with the latest AI agent features) to rethink work — starting with AI from day one. Their goal: break old workflows, build “Frontier Firms,” and explore human-AI cooperation.
Frontier Firms aren’t just AI users — they’re built around AI. From the start, AI agents integrate into every aspect of the company, reshaping work processes, decision-making methods, and team structures to enhance human-AI partnership. The results were eye-opening. Top teams didn’t just use AI for tasks — they let it spark ideas: designing org charts, refining pitch decks, and creating sample business models. This revealed a new work style: AI as an active, growing team member.
The project had two phases. First, students used Copilot to simulate starting a startup — assigning roles, writing plans, and testing workflows. Then, they imagined how “AI-first” Frontier Firms might work, drawing blueprints for AI-powered organizations. Starting fresh helped: no old rules held them back.
Students found AI quickly became their “first hire,” taking on key roles like strategist or analyst. One team even let AI design an org chart by analyzing resumes. AI handled tasks like planning market strategies, writing job descriptions, and building financial models. This let human members take on more roles without stress and tackle work outside their expertise — speeding up progress from idea to action.
This project shows AI can be more than a tool — it can be a teammate or even a co-founder. It’s not a future dream, but a present reality reshaping work. To adapt, leaders need a new mindset: see AI as a partner, not just an aid.
12. What was the main goal of the special project?
A. To compare AI and human work efficiency.
B. To train students on using Microsoft 365 Copilot.
C. To experiment on the teamwork of humans and AI.
D. To help students learn about the latest AI version.
13. What role did the leading teams give AI?
A. Rare tool. B. Silent clerk. C. Final judge. D. Idea partner.
14. How did AI most help students move from idea to action?
A. Issuing grand visions. B. Boosting team spirits.
C. Running rapid analyses. D. Arranging team meet-ups.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Agent Becomes the Startup’s First Hire
B. Put AI on the Founding Team from Day One
C. Argue for Human-only Leadership in a Team
D. Researchers Ask Who Really Runs a New-build Firm

How to Teach Your Kids to Be Respectful and Kind to Animals
When your family is preparing to welcome a new pet, it’s essential to establish clear guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of both children and animals. Here are some practical ways to help children build empathy and learn to care for animals responsibly.
One of the most effective methods is to lead by example. Children often follow in adults’ footsteps, so how you treat animals will leave a lasting impression. Show them the proper way to approach and interact with animals. ____16____ This teaches respect for the animal’s comfort zone.
It’s also helpful to set clear and consistent rules. Children may not know exactly how to behave around animals. ____17____ Explain that animals are not toys — pulling their tails, climbing on them, or disturbing them while they eat or sleep is unacceptable. Such guidelines help prevent misunderstandings and potential harm.
Another key lesson is showing understanding and respect. Just like people, animals have moods and personal space. Teach your child to recognize when an animal wants to be left alone — such as when it moves away, hides, or makes an unhappy sound. ____18____ This not only protects the child but also helps the animal feel respected.
____19____. For example, if you find an insect indoors, you might calmly capture and release it outside instead of killing it. Use respectful language when referring to animals — avoid calling them “it,” and choose “he,” “she,” or “they” instead. What’s more, reading books that promote kindness toward animals is a simple but powerful tool.
Remember that building a positive relationship between children and animals takes time and patience. ____20____ Through consistent modeling and gentle guidance, children can grow into compassionate (有同情心的) and respectful individuals.
A. In this way, children will play with animals at will.
B. Sympathy can also be developed through daily habits.
C. Kids will develop a scientific way of looking at all living things.
D. It is better to show them what to do instead of simply saying “don’t.”
E This knowledge is useful for interacting with both animals and people.
F. Over time, these small lessons contribute to a lifelong respect for animals.
G. When encountering a nervous animal, ask kids to observe quietly rather than chase it.

Brought up by a single mother who worked ____23____ at jobs like a personal assistant and fast-food worker, Jed dreamed of ____24____ the ultimate symbol of athletic achievement: a Chaparral High School letterman jacket. He even ____25____ it himself — bright red and gold with his name proudly displayed. But when the $300 jacket was ready, his mother couldn’t ____26____ it. Month after month, the pickup was ____27____ until graduation passed and Jed never saw his jacket again.
Fast forward to November 2021: Jed, now a full-time bassist in a Los Angeles band, received a call from his brother Josh. While browsing a second-hand store three hours from their hometown, Josh ____28____ a brand-new red letterman jacket. The name “Jed” and year “1994” stopped him in his tracks. He bought it for $25 and sent a photo to his brother.
Jed was overcome with emotion — “That’s my jacket!” he ____29____. Within a week, he returned to Arizona and tried it on for the first time. It fit perfectly, still ____30____ the original tag (标签). Wearing it to his 30th high school reunion, Jed finally opened up about his past ____31____. Teammates apologized, saying they would have helped if they’d known.
The jacket’s 30-year journey remains a mystery, but its return felt like a ____32____. It reconnected the brothers, made them feel the ____33____ of their late mom, and inspired Jed to write a song titled “Mother’s Intention,” which he ____34____ wearing the jacket. For Jed, this long-lost ____35____ isn’t just cloth and thread — it’s a symbol of healing, family, and a mother’s enduring love.

The Imperfect Bowl
Ben stared at the clay (黏土) on the spinning wheel. His art teacher, Ms. Lena, had shown the class how to make a perfect bowl. “Find the center, be gentle with your hands,” she had advised. But Ben’s hands felt awkward, and the wheel seemed to have a mind of its own. For three class periods, he had tried and failed. His earlier creations sat on the shelf — a row of uneven, crooked (歪斜) shapes that were now hard and dry. They were a constant reminder of his struggle, and frustration grew within him. All he wanted was to create something beautiful and perfect, just like the model Ms. Lena had placed at the front of the room.
This was his last opportunity during this project. Taking a deep breath, he wet his hands and tried once more. He pressed down firmly, his entire attention being focused on the cool, wet clay. To his surprise, it felt different this time. The clay seemed to respond to his touch, rising steadily and smoothly. A wave of excitement passed through him as a tall, well-shaped bowl began to take form. He was finally close to success!
However, in a moment of distraction, his thumb slipped and pressed too hard into the soft wall of the bowl, creating a deep, obvious dent (凹痕). Ben’s heart immediately felt heavy. Disappointment, sharp and bitter, washed over him. It was ruined, again. He had a strong urge to destroy the clay and start over, but the class bell was about to ring. Time had run out.
He stared at the damaged bowl feeling utterly defeated. Ms. Lena appeared beside him, whispering, “Let the clay tell you where it wants to go — Flaws (瑕疵) aren’t always mistakes; they can simply be the first lines of a story.” Her words steadied his fingers. He picked up a carving tool and began to work on a new design.
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。
As Ben finished his work, a mix of uncertainty and pride filled his heart.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ms. Lena then invited the class to gather around the display shelf.

In an age where we are more connected than ever through digital devices, a strange paradox (悖论) has emerged: we are increasingly disconnected from the immediate world around us. Urban sociologists note a decline in unplanned social interactions in public spaces like parks, plazas, and even on public transport. People are often glued to their screens, unaware of their surroundings or the people around them.
This shift worries thinkers like Sherry Turkle, a renowned psychologist from MIT. In her book Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age, she argues that our addiction to phones is costing us the deep, empathetic connections that come from face-to-face conversation. This isn’t just a personal loss; it has societal implications. Public spaces are the stages where community life unfolds, and when we draw back from them, the very bond of society weakens.
Some cities are consciously fighting this trend. Urban planners are now designing “talk-friendly” spaces — benches that face each other, pedestrian zones free from traffic noise, and public parks with free Wi-Fi to attract people, but also with features that encourage them to look up and engage. The goal is not to avoid technology, but to rebalance its role in our lives.
The challenge is vast, with decades of technological advancement designed to capture our attention. However, the solution begins with awareness. As Turkle suggests, it’s about making conscious choices to create device-free zones and times, to be present in the moment. It’s time to look up from our screens and rediscover the value of the unfiltered world and the people who share it with us.
So silence your screen for a moment. Lift your eyes. Every shared smile or quick hello rethreads the neighborhood, recharging the human battery that no algorithm (算法) can replace.
8 What phenomenon does the author point out first?
A. Public spaces are becoming overcrowded. B. Digital devices often have technical issues.
C. Social media platforms are losing popularity. D. People are less involved in their surroundings.
9. What suffers most from our addiction to screen according to Turkle?
A. Online privacy. B. Physical health.
C. Interpersonal bonds. D. Individual productivity.
10. Why did urban planners create the “talk-friendly” spaces?
A. To encourage in-person communication. B. To focus on beauty rather than practicality.
C. To replace social media with real interaction. D. To attract people with advanced technology.
11. What does the underlined word “unfiltered” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Pure. B. Real. C. Perfect. D. Simple.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出数字时代中人们沉迷屏幕导致与现实世界及人际互动脱节,这削弱了社会纽带,而城市规划者正在尝试设计促进面对面交流的公共空间,并呼吁个人有意识地减少设备使用,重新发现真实世界的价值。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In an age where we are more connected than ever through digital devices, a strange paradox (悖论) has emerged: we are increasingly disconnected from the immediate world around us. (在这个通过数字设备比以往任何时候都更加互联的时代,一个奇怪的悖论出现了:我们与周围现实世界日益脱节。)”和“People are often glued to their screens, unaware of their surroundings or the people around them. (人们常常沉迷于屏幕前,完全忽略了周围环境以及身边的人。)”可知,作者首先指出的现象是人们对周围环境的参与度降低。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“she argues that our addiction to phones is costing us the deep, empathetic connections that come from face-to-face conversation (她认为,我们对手机的过度依赖正在使我们失去面对面交流所带来的那种深刻且富有同理心的联系)”可知,根据Turkle的观点,我们沉迷屏幕最受影响的是人际纽带。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Urban planners are now designing “talk-friendly” spaces — benches that face each other, pedestrian zones free from traffic noise, and public parks with free Wi-Fi to attract people, but also with features that encourage them to look up and engage. The goal is not to avoid technology, but to rebalance its role in our lives. (城市规划者们如今正在设计“交谈友好型”的空间——设有相对而立的长椅、远离交通噪音的行人区域以及配备免费Wi-Fi的公共公园,以此来吸引人们前来,同时这些空间还具备能促使人们抬头并参与交流的特色。其目的并非是要摒弃科技,而是要重新平衡科技在我们生活中的作用。)”可知,城市规划者创建“交谈友好型”空间是为了鼓励面对面的交流。故选A项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“As Turkle suggests, it’s about making conscious choices to create device-free zones and times, to be present in the moment. It’s time to look up from our screens (正如Turkle所指出的,这需要我们有意识地做出选择,来划定无电子设备干扰的区域和时段,让自己专注于当下。是时候从屏幕前抬起头来了)”可知,此处建议从电子设备中脱离出来,专注于当下,需要被重新发现价值的是与数字屏幕上的虚拟体验形成对比的真实的世界,画线词的意思是“真实的”。故选B项。
D
What if a startup’s first team member was an AI agent, not a human? This question led Microsoft and NYU Stern’s Tech MBA program to a special project. Thirty students formed six startup teams, using Microsoft 365 Copilot (with the latest AI agent features) to rethink work — starting with AI from day one. Their goal: break old workflows, build “Frontier Firms,” and explore human-AI cooperation.
Frontier Firms aren’t just AI users — they’re built around AI. From the start, AI agents integrate into every aspect of the company, reshaping work processes, decision-making methods, and team structures to enhance human-AI partnership. The results were eye-opening. Top teams didn’t just use AI for tasks — they let it spark ideas: designing org charts, refining pitch decks, and creating sample business models. This revealed a new work style: AI as an active, growing team member.
The project had two phases. First, students used Copilot to simulate starting a startup — assigning roles, writing plans, and testing workflows. Then, they imagined how “AI-first” Frontier Firms might work, drawing blueprints for AI-powered organizations. Starting fresh helped: no old rules held them back.
Students found AI quickly became their “first hire,” taking on key roles like strategist or analyst. One team even let AI design an org chart by analyzing resumes. AI handled tasks like planning market strategies, writing job descriptions, and building financial models. This let human members take on more roles without stress and tackle work outside their expertise — speeding up progress from idea to action.
This project shows AI can be more than a tool — it can be a teammate or even a co-founder. It’s not a future dream, but a present reality reshaping work. To adapt, leaders need a new mindset: see AI as a partner, not just an aid.
12. What was the main goal of the special project?
A To compare AI and human work efficiency.
B. To train students on using Microsoft 365 Copilot.
C. To experiment on the teamwork of humans and AI.
D. To help students learn about the latest AI version.
13. What role did the leading teams give AI?
A. Rare tool. B. Silent clerk. C. Final judge. D. Idea partner.
14. How did AI most help students move from idea to action?
A. Issuing grand visions. B. Boosting team spirits.
C. Running rapid analyses. D. Arranging team meet-ups.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Agent Becomes the Startup’s First Hire
B. Put AI on the Founding Team from Day One
C. Argue for Human-only Leadership in a Team
D. Researchers Ask Who Really Runs a New-build Firm
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Students found AI quickly became their “first hire,” taking on key roles like strategist or analyst. One team even let AI design an org chart by analyzing resumes. AI handled tasks like planning market strategies, writing job descriptions, and building financial models. This let human members take on more roles without stress and tackle work outside their expertise— speeding up progress from idea to action.(学生们发现人工智能迅速成为他们的“首位雇员”,担当起诸如战略家或分析师等关键角色。有个团队甚至让人工智能通过分析简历来设计组织结构图。人工智能负责诸如规划市场策略、撰写职位描述以及构建财务模型等任务。这使得人类成员能够毫无压力地承担更多角色,并处理自身专业领域之外的工作,从而加快了从想法到行动的进程)”可知,人工智能通过快速承担分析等关键任务,帮助学生从想法迈向行动。故选C项。

How to Teach Your Kids to Be Respectful and Kind to Animals
When your family is preparing to welcome a new pet, it’s essential to establish clear guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of both children and animals. Here are some practical ways to help children build empathy and learn to care for animals responsibly.
One of the most effective methods is to lead by example. Children often follow in adults’ footsteps, so how you treat animals will leave a lasting impression. Show them the proper way to approach and interact with animals. ____16____ This teaches respect for the animal’s comfort zone.
It’s also helpful to set clear and consistent rules. Children may not know exactly how to behave around animals. ____17____ Explain that animals are not toys — pulling their tails, climbing on them, or disturbing them while they eat or sleep is unacceptable. Such guidelines help prevent misunderstandings and potential harm.
Another key lesson is showing understanding and respect. Just like people, animals have moods and personal space. Teach your child to recognize when an animal wants to be left alone — such as when it moves away, hides, or makes an unhappy sound. ____18____ This not only protects the child but also helps the animal feel respected.
____19____. For example, if you find an insect indoors, you might calmly capture and release it outside instead of killing it. Use respectful language when referring to animals — avoid calling them “it,” and choose “he,” “she,” or “they” instead. What’s more, reading books that promote kindness toward animals is a simple but powerful tool.
Remember that building a positive relationship between children and animals takes time and patience. ____20____ Through consistent modeling and gentle guidance, children can grow into compassionate (有同情心的) and respectful individuals.
A. In this way, children will play with animals at will.
B. Sympathy can also be developed through daily habits.
C. Kids will develop a scientific way of looking at all living things.
D. It is better to show them what to do instead of simply saying “don’t.”
E. This knowledge is useful for interacting with both animals and people.
F. Over time, these small lessons contribute to a lifelong respect for animals.
G. When encountering a nervous animal, ask kids to observe quietly rather than chase it.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家长如何通过以身作则、制定规则、尊重理解、培养日常习惯等方法,教育孩子尊重和善待动物,培养孩子的同情心与责任感。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Show them the proper way to approach and interact with animals.(向他们展示接近动物和与动物互动的正确方式)”可知,空前强调要示范正确做法;结合空后“This teaches respect for the animal’s comfort zone.(这教会(孩子)要尊重动物的舒适区)”可知,空处需指明“this”指代的内容,选项G“When encountering a nervous animal, ask kids to observe quietly rather than chase it.(当遇到紧张的动物时,让孩子安静观察而不是追赶它)”具体说明了正确的做法,能够承接上文,衔接下文。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Children may not know exactly how to behave around animals.(孩子可能不知道在动物身边该如何表现)”和后文 “Explain that animals are not toys (解释动物不是玩具)”可知,空前指出孩子不懂如何做,空后开始具体解释;选项D“It is better to show them what to do instead of simply saying “don’t.”(最好给他们示范该做什么,而不是只说“不要这么做”)”承上启下,符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Teach your child to recognize when an animal wants to be left alone — such as when it moves away, hides, or makes an unhappy sound.(教你的孩子识别动物什么时候不想被打扰—— 比如当它躲开、躲藏或发出不舒服的声音时)”可知,空前讲的是教孩子识别动物的情绪和信号;选项E“This knowledge is useful for interacting with both animals and people.(这些知识对于与动物和人交往都很有用)”是对这种能力的总结与升华。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“For example, if you find an insect indoors, you might calmly capture and release it outside instead of killing it.(例如,如果你在室内发现一只昆虫,你可以平静地抓住它并把它放到外面,而不是杀死它)”可知,空后用日常小事举例说明如何培养爱心;选项B“Sympathy can also be developed through daily habits.(同情心也可以通过日常习惯来培养)”能够总领本段内容。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Remember that building a positive relationship between children and animals takes time and patience.(记住,在孩子和动物之间建立积极的关系需要时间和耐心)”可知,空前强调这是一个长期过程;选项F“Over time, these small lessons contribute to a lifelong respect for animals.(随着时间的推移,这些小小的教育会造就对动物终身的尊重)”承接上文,强调长期坚持的结果。故选F。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
The Imperfect Bowl
Ben stared at the clay (黏土) on the spinning wheel. His art teacher, Ms. Lena, had shown the class how to make a perfect bowl. “Find the center, be gentle with your hands,” she had advised. But Ben’s hands felt awkward, and the wheel seemed to have a mind of its own. For three class periods, he had tried and failed. His earlier creations sat on the shelf — a row of uneven, crooked (歪斜) shapes that were now hard and dry. They were a constant reminder of his struggle, and frustration grew within him. All he wanted was to create something beautiful and perfect, just like the model Ms. Lena had placed at the front of the room.
This was his last opportunity during this project. Taking a deep breath, he wet his hands and tried once more. He pressed down firmly, his entire attention being focused on the cool, wet clay. To his surprise, it felt different this time. The clay seemed to respond to his touch, rising steadily and smoothly. A wave of excitement passed through him as a tall, well-shaped bowl began to take form. He was finally close to success!
However, in a moment of distraction, his thumb slipped and pressed too hard into the soft wall of the bowl, creating a deep, obvious dent (凹痕). Ben’s heart immediately felt heavy. Disappointment, sharp and bitter, washed over him. It was ruined, again. He had a strong urge to destroy the clay and start over, but the class bell was about to ring. Time had run out.
He stared at the damaged bowl, feeling utterly defeated. Ms. Lena appeared beside him, whispering, “Let the clay tell you where it wants to go — Flaws (瑕疵) aren’t always mistakes; they can simply be the first lines of a story.” Her words steadied his fingers. He picked up a carving tool and began to work on a new design.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As Ben finished his work, a mix of uncertainty and pride filled his heart. He carefully placed it on the display shelf, where it stood out among the smoother bowls. When Ms. Lena passed by, she paused and picked it up. Ben waited nervously for her comments. She ran her finger over the carved pattern and gave a warm, knowing smile. “Sometimes, the best art comes from a happy accident,” she said quietly. Her words lifted a weight off his shoulders, and his pride began to outweigh his doubt.
Ms. Lena then invited the class to gather around the display shelf. She held up Ben’s glazed bowl, which now shone under the lights. “Look at this one,” she said. “The artist met a problem but didn’t quit. He worked with it and created something with its own story. That is real creativity.” A few students nodded, and Ben noticed one of them pointing gently at the delicate pattern around the dent. In that moment, he felt seen not for a perfect outcome, but for a thoughtful journey. Ben finally understood that true growth isn’t about being perfect, but about how you beautifully repair your own cracks.
【解析】
【导语】本文以制作瓷碗为线索展开,讲述了Ben在陶艺课上反复尝试制作完美的碗却屡次失败,最后一次即将成功时意外留下凹痕。在老师“瑕疵是故事开端”的启发下,他将缺陷转化为独特雕刻,意外获得认可,他也领悟到成长在于接纳不完美并从中创造价值。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当Ben完成他的工作时,一种既不确定又自豪的情绪充斥着他的内心。”可知,第一段可描写Lena女士看到Ben的作品,做出积极评价,Ben的自豪感胜过了不确定感。
②由第二段首句内容“Lena女士随后便邀请全班同学围坐在展示架旁。”可知,第二段可描写Lena女士向同学们展示Ben作品,肯定其创造力,Ben领悟到成长不在于完美,而是如何修复裂痕。
2. 续写线索:Ben完成作品——Lena女士肯定作品——Ben的心理感受——Lena女士邀请学生坐在展示架旁——Lena女士展示Ben的作品——Ben的领悟
