laughter and love. 　　Emily， now a young woman studying art in college， often returned home on weekends.Lucas， the younger brother， was in his final year of high school， and his future was like an unwritten story. 　　One cool autumn evening， as the smell of Mrs Morrison’s famous apple pie filled the kitchen， there was an awkward （尴尬的） silence between Lucas and his parents.Mrs Morrison noticed it first， the way Lucas avoided eye contact when he spoke.Mr Morrison also sensed the unease （不安） but chose to let it go， hoping Lucas would open up in his own time. 　　Later that night， after dinner had been served and the dishes cleared away， Lucas sat by the table with his parents. 　　“Mom， Dad，” Lucas began， “there’s something I need to talk to you about.” 　　The couple looked at each other， concerned and curious.“Of course， honey，” Mrs Morrison said gently.“You know you can talk to us about anything.” 　　Lucas had been playing the guitar and writing songs for years.“I’ve been thinking a lot about my future lately，” he said， raising his voice.“I’ve decided to take a gap （间隔） year ...I want to practice music skills.” 　　There was a long silence before the conversation continued.Mr Morrison， who was lost in deep thought， looked at his son.Mrs Morrison’s eyes widened， with a look of surprise crossing her face. 　　“Music？！” Mr Morrison finally spoke， his voice still filled with concern.“Lucas， you’ve never mentioned this before.What about your plans for college？” 　　Lucas looked up， knowing this was the moment he had feared， yet he knew it would come.“Music has been my favourite for years，” he said.“I expect to see where music could take me.” 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　Lucas’ words were followed by a total silence.

可知，这个男人是坐在图书馆的角落里。 2.A　根据上文quietly in a corner of the library可知，Lily每次去图书馆都会被同一个角落吸引，因为那个男人总是坐在那个角落。 3.B　根据下文可知，Mr Thompson注意到了Lily的好奇心，所以才会开始和她分享书中古代英雄的事迹和冒险经历。 4.A　根据下文可知，前后表示转折，此处表示尽管年龄有差距。 5.D　根据下文可知，Mr Thompson教Lily探索的重要性，因为探索可以开启新的体验之门。 6.A　根据下文Mr Thompson wrote her letters可知，在Lily不在图书馆期间，Mr Thompson给她写信。 7.C　根据上下文可知，这些信在Lily压力大的时候成为了她的一种安慰来源。 8.A　根据上文Mr Thompson wrote her letters可知，Lily被这个举动所感动。 9.D　根据上下文可知，Lily意识到他们的友谊已经超越了图书馆的墙壁。 10.B　根据下文及第13空后的her hometown， she would make sure to stop by the library可知，Lily为了追求自己的梦想搬走了。 11.B　根据下文可知，此处指每当她感到迷茫或不确定的时候，她都会想起Mr Thompson的智慧话语并找到前进的力量。 12.C　参见上题解析。 13.C　根据下文可知，每当她回到家乡的时候，她总会确保去图书馆看看。 14.D　根据下文可知，此处指他们的友谊给她上了一堂终生难忘的课。 15.B　根据上文可知，Lily和Mr Thompson的友谊始于图书馆的一个角落，由此可知，此处指最有意义的友谊可能来自最意想不到的地方。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了友谊的含义，如何选择朋友，以及好朋友应具备的条件。 16.to find　考查非谓语动词。根据上文It is very difficult可推知，此处为固定句型“It is＋形容词＋to do sth”，表示“做某事是……的”，其中It作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。空处应用find的动词不定式形式。 17.who/that　考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词person。先行词指人，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who或that作引导词。 18.careful　考查形容词。空处作表语，care的形容词形式为careful，短语be careful with表示“对……小心，对……谨慎”。 19.making　考查非谓语动词。动词短语avoid doing sth 意为“避免做某事”。空处应用make的动词-ing形式，作avoid的宾语。 20.their　考查代词。空处修饰名词mistakes，应用形容词性物主代词their。 21.be trusted　考查语态。空处和can构成谓语，trust和主语A true friend之间是被动关系，需用被动语态。 22.in　考查介词。空处和trouble搭配，作表语，介词短语in trouble意为“处于困境中，有困难”。 23.most important　考查形容词最高级。结合本段主要是介绍好朋友应具备的条件可知，此处应是指“最重要的”条件，空处应用important的最高级形式。 24.understands　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处作that引导的表语从句的谓语，结合always可知，此处在描述通常性的行为，时态应用一般现在时，主语a friend是单数，understand应用第三人称单数形式。 25.a　考查冠词。空处表示泛指，意为“一个好朋友”，应用不定冠词，且good的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。 Ⅲ. 　　Lucas’ words were followed by a total silence.His parents exchanged a look， with their faces mixed with surprise and contemplation.Mrs Morrison was the first to break the silence， her voice soft but firm.“Lucas， we had no idea you felt this strongly about music.We always thought you’d go to college， like Emily.But if this is what you really want， we’ll support you.We just want you to be happy and pursue your dreams.” Mr Morrison nodded in agreement， his earlier concern replaced by a sense of understanding and pride. 　　Relaxation washed over Lucas as he realised his parents were willing to listen.He let out a breath he hadn’t known he was holding.“Thank you， Mom and Dad.I’ve been so worried about telling you.I know it’s not the traditional path， but music is my passion.I promise I’ll work hard and make you proud.” With that， the tension in the room seemed to dissipate， replaced by a warm sense of unity and excitement for Lucas’s future.The Morrisons sat together， their bond strengthened by the shared understanding that love and support could transcend even the unexpected turns of life. 2 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
