To better understand how to support children and young people’s motivation to write in school, we asked them what would make them want to write. Their responses offer valuable insight into the conditions and experiences that develop genuine engagement with writing (see Figure 1).
The findings indicate that cultivating environments that prioritize freedom of choice, personal and social relevance, and meaningful engagement may be instrumental in enhancing young people’s motivation to write in school.
Figure 1: Key factors that would stimulate a desire to write in school.
Figure 2: A word cloud of students’ topic preferences for writing.
When asked what they would most like to write about in school if they could choose, young writers suggested a wide range of topics. A word cloud visualizes their preferences, where the size of each word corresponds to its frequency in the responses (see Figure 2).
Our interviews with students also reveal that they are most motivated when writing allows them to explore both the world around them and the worlds they imagine.
Overall, our research highlights that writing in school is most meaningful when it is rooted in connection to self, to others and to the world, and experienced in its power to engage, bring power, inspire thought and shape identity. As a result, it is suggested that school-based writing should not be only about producing perfect texts but about cultivating young writers who are invested, confident, curious and socially connected.
1. What is most likely to motivate students to write?
A. Rewards. B. Autonomy. C. Topics. D. Experiences.
2. Which of the following would students probably prefer to write about?
A. A famous song. B. A fashion trend.
C. A past civilization. D. A personal interview.
3. Who is the passage most probably intended for?
A. Policy makers. B. Young writers.
C. Lab researchers. D. School educators.

In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media. The fictional character, Miene, is a blind kitten who finds herself in a risky situation after getting separated from her mother and hurting her paw, all while being chased by a crow. Ultimately, she is rescued and finds a home with a caring family. The narrative follows Miene's comedic yet poignant journey as she navigates the frightening world around her, struggling against her fears and pain. Her perception of life, relying on her other senses instead of sight, offers a heartwarming perspective that encourages readers to cheer for her.
One striking feature of this work is its substantial amount of text. The book is loaded with a remarkable amount of written content, surprising for a comic essay, filled with hand-drawn letters that create an extraordinary rhythm between the illustrations. The combination of text and visuals is so impressive that readers often laugh out loud when recalling its funny moments, even after closing the book.
Furthermore, the book includes notable literary references, providing insights into classic works and figures. The rich narrative not only entertains but also evokes a profound appreciation for life and existence. A particularly touching scene is when the lady of the house, Rina, decides to adopt Miene, extending her hand and saying, “I will give you my twenty years”, which showcases the deep commitment one needs to take on such responsibility.
Despite Rina's heartfelt intentions, Miene dashes around energetically, representing the spirit of adventure and resilience. This portrayal resonates with anyone who has faced trials but still embraces life bravely, making the reading experience both enjoyable and meaningful. There are numerous interesting works that can make one lose track of time, and such a unique narrative is surely not to be missed.
4 What can be inferred about Miene from paragraph 1?

Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.
The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world. Over the years, the engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same-steam.
Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam. Scientists have been looking for a better medium to replace steam.
They found this in sCO₂. CO₂ exists as a gas at room temperature and can be cooled to form dry ice by reducing pressure and lowering temperature. When temperature is raised to 31℃, and pressure is increased to 7.37 MPa, CO₂ enters its supercritical state, where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas. In applications such as moving a turbine, this is extremely useful since the gas-like state offers less resistance while the liquid-like state provides greater push power.
The power generation process works like this: The CO₂ is first pressurized into a supercritical state. Then the sCO₂ passes through a heat exchanger, absorbing heat from an external heat source, and its temperature rises to 400-600℃ with a substantial increase in internal energy. After that, it enters a turbine and expands rapidly, driving it to move at a high speed and transforming thermal (热的) energy into mechanical energy, which is then further turned into electrical energy for output. The CO₂ remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process, with no phase change loss.
The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation, using CO₂ as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam.
8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Highlight the value of steam. B. Applaud the past contributions.
C. Outline the Industrial Revolution. D. State the background of a new discovery.
9. What is the biggest problem with steam power generation?
A. Energy-intensive. B. Labor-demanding.
C. Noise-producing. D. Money-consuming.
10. What plays a key role in the high efficiency of Chaotan One?
A. The durability of turbines. B. The quick commercialization of generators.
C. The easy availability of CO₂. D. The continuity of CO₂’s supercritical state.
11. What is true about supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) according to the text?
A. It exists only as a pure gas when in its supercritical state.
B. It can reach its supercritical state at room temperature and normal pressure.
C. It combines the low resistance of a gas-like state with the strong power of a liquid-like state.
D. It undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid during the power generation process.
D
A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated (培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
12. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph?
A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements.
C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
13. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4?
A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots.
B. The seriousness of the environmental issues.
C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
14. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots?
A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia.
B. Arranging the electrode in the right order.
C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia.
D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature
C King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Joining clubs, volunteering, and initiating meetups, my 26-year-old friend has tried everything to make new friends. ____16____ She suspects her habit of joking with people too early in friendships is to blame, as others often turn quiet and awkward.
The truth is, building meaningful friendships in adulthood is tough. The Times asked psychologists to share tips for nurturing new friendships, with a focus on social skills. Here’s what they said.
Switch up how you socialize. You are bound to meet people who socialize differently. You may enjoy sarcasm (讽刺) while others may tend to be more sincere, for example. So when you make a sarcastic joke to a new friend, observe their nonverbal cues. ____17____ Did they express distaste for the joke?
____18____ Anxious socializers often focus on crafting their next response instead of listening. This makes them miss key cues. Being genuinely curious about others’ words lets you continue conversations naturally.
Embrace small talk. Small talk is actually a necessary starting point for developing deeper relationships. Keep a few small-talk topics handy, such as hobbies outside work, favorite repeated books or films, or upcoming vacation plans. ____19____
Share in moderation. They recommend first asking “Would it be OK if I vent (发泄) a little?” before sharing. Then check their responses. Leaning in, follow-up questions and eye contact mean they’re receptive. Looking away signals discomfort.
____20____ So, keep initiating the catch-ups, accepting invites for casual hangs, attending those after-work dinners and chatting with acquaintances at events.
A. Listen really listen.
B. Be an active speaker in your conversations.
C. Have they gone quiet, restless, or awkward?
D. Have you ever taken their feelings into account?
E. Yet every new connection fades after just a few weeks.
F. The best way to improve any social skill is through practice.
G. These can help fill silences smoothly when small talk pauses.

____25____ to leave empty-handed, we made a final attempt on the last day. However, contradictory directions from passers-by only deepened our ____26____. As dusk fell, shopkeepers were packing up, streets quieting, and hope fading. Wet from another shower and with a torn map, we felt even more ____27____.
Then, a blind turn led us to a narrow street where a store drew our attention. My sister stopped to ____28____ the map, and I glanced at the signs — “That’s it” I ____29____.
The owner looked up, smiled, and ____30____ us in. Inside, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lined the walls. As I ran my fingers along the bookshelves, a hardcover caught my eye. Just as I ____31____ for it, another hand brushed against the cover. “You like it too?” a woman smiled. As the bookstore’s regular, she instantly ____32____ with me and I told her our ____33____ search. The owner, overhearing our story, stepped over and ____34____ us with two copies of the book, each signed by the author. “For those truly appreciating it,” he said. My sister captured the moment as we exchanged email, promising to share reflections on the book later.

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。
My name is Mae. I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others.
“Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project.
The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen.
“Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?”
I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said.
Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh.
Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”
“Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed.
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。
That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details.

Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.
The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world. Over the years, the engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same-steam.
Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam. Scientists have been looking for a better medium to replace steam.
They found this in sCO₂. CO₂ exists as a gas at room temperature and can be cooled to form dry ice by reducing pressure and lowering temperature. When temperature is raised to 31℃, and pressure is increased to 7.37 MPa, CO₂ enters its supercritical state, where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas. In applications such as moving a turbine, this is extremely useful since the gas-like state offers less resistance while the liquid-like state provides greater push power.
The power generation process works like this: The CO₂ is first pressurized into a supercritical state. Then the sCO₂ passes through a heat exchanger, absorbing heat from an external heat source, and its temperature rises to 400-600℃ with a substantial increase in internal energy. After that, it enters a turbine and expands rapidly, driving it to move at a high speed and transforming thermal (热的) energy into mechanical energy, which is then further turned into electrical energy for output. The CO₂ remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process, with no phase change loss.
The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation, using CO₂ as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam.
8 What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Highlight the value of steam. B. Applaud the past contributions.
C. Outline the Industrial Revolution. D. State the background of a new discovery.
9. What is the biggest problem with steam power generation?
A. Energy-intensive. B. Labor-demanding.
C. Noise-producing. D. Money-consuming.
10. What plays a key role in the high efficiency of Chaotan One?
A. The durability of turbines. B. The quick commercialization of generators.
C. The easy availability of CO₂. D. The continuity of CO₂’s supercritical state.
11. What is true about supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) according to the text?
A. It exists only as a pure gas when in its supercritical state.
B. It can reach its supercritical state at room temperature and normal pressure.
C. It combines the low resistance of a gas-like state with the strong power of a liquid-like state.
D. It undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid during the power generation process.

A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated (培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
12. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph?
A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements.
C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
13. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4?
A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots.
B. The seriousness of the environmental issues.
C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
14. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots?
A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia.
B. Arranging the electrode in the right order.
C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia.
D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature
C. King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development

Joining clubs, volunteering, and initiating meetups, my 26-year-old friend has tried everything to make new friends. ____16____ She suspects her habit of joking with people too early in friendships is to blame, as others often turn quiet and awkward.
The truth is, building meaningful friendships in adulthood is tough. The Times asked psychologists to share tips for nurturing new friendships, with a focus on social skills. Here’s what they said.
Switch up how you socialize. You are bound to meet people who socialize differently. You may enjoy sarcasm (讽刺) while others may tend to be more sincere, for example. So when you make a sarcastic joke to a new friend, observe their nonverbal cues. ____17____ Did they express distaste for the joke?
____18____ Anxious socializers often focus on crafting their next response instead of listening. This makes them miss key cues. Being genuinely curious about others’ words lets you continue conversations naturally.
Embrace small talk. Small talk is actually a necessary starting point for developing deeper relationships. Keep a few small-talk topics handy, such as hobbies outside work, favorite repeated books or films, or upcoming vacation plans. ____19____
Share in moderation. They recommend first asking “Would it be OK if I vent (发泄) a little?” before sharing. Then check their responses. Leaning in, follow-up questions and eye contact mean they’re receptive. Looking away signals discomfort.
____20____ So, keep initiating the catch-ups, accepting invites for casual hangs, attending those after-work dinners and chatting with acquaintances at events.
A. Listen, really listen.
B. Be an active speaker in your conversations.
C. Have they gone quiet, restless, or awkward?
D. Have you ever taken their feelings into account?
E. Yet every new connection fades after just a few weeks.
F. The best way to improve any social skill is through practice.
G. These can help fill silences smoothly when small talk pauses.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. G 20. F

【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:管理人员吴迪说“我们博物馆收藏了2600多件文物,包括石雕和石刻,但只有这两棵古老的银杏树是真正的活文物。” 空格前后内容存在转折关系:前文说馆藏文物众多,后文强调只有银杏树是“活文物”,所以用表转折的连词but或yet。故填but/yet。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:一进入博物馆,游客就会立刻被宏伟的金刚宝座塔迎接。be greeted by/with是固定搭配,意为“被……迎接;映入眼帘的是……”,此处表示游客进入博物馆首先看到金刚宝座塔,用by或with都符合语境。故填by/with。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从远处看,这座宝塔似乎坐落在一个高高的基座上,上面建有五座较小的塔。from a distance是固定短语,意为“从远处;远距离地”,表示模糊的距离概念。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:陪伴着宝塔的是两棵银杏树,它们像坚定的守护者一样矗立在宝塔旁。这是一个倒装句,主语是the two ginkgo trees (复数),句子描述的是客观存在的状态,用一般现在时,所以be动词用are。故填are。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:吴的主要职责是保护古塔、石刻和其他文物。空格处作表语,且前面有定冠词the,需要用名词形式;preserve是动词,其名词形式是preservation,表示“保护;保存”。故填preservation。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:由于银杏树和宝塔营造的和谐自然景观,博物馆近年来已筹集资金用于树木保护。时间状语in recent years (近年来) 是现在完成时的标志,结构为“have/has+过去分词”,主语the museum是单数,所以填has gathered。故填has gathered。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:今年9月,三个国家政府部门公布了首批将被联合保护的古树名木和历史遗迹名单。 空格处引导定语从句,先行词是the first list of ancient famous trees and historic places,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which或that。故填which/that。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:北京石刻艺术博物馆的银杏树是入选的28个地点之一。空格处作后置定语,修饰28 places,places与choose之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词chosen。故填chosen。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这项新举措系统地将历史遗迹的保护与古树的保护结合起来。空格处修饰动词integrates,需要用副词形式;systematic是形容词,其副词形式是systematically,表示“系统地;有条理地”。故填systematically。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过将这些树木视为“活的历史”,联合保护模式旨在加强公众对保护文化和生态遗产必要性的认识。the need to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“做某事的必要性”,此处用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰need。故填to safeguard。

My Views on Fragmented Reading
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Version 1
My Views on Fragmented Reading
Nowadays, fragmented reading — scrolling through short videos or browsing brief articles — has become increasingly popular. In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply.
Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection.
Version 2
My Views on Fragmented Reading
Fragmented reading, characterized by scrolling through short videos and brief articles, dominates our daily lives. From my perspective, though convenient, this reading style does more harm than good.
Admittedly, fragmented reading offers efficiency. We can grasp news highlights or learn practical tips within minutes. Yet the problems cannot be ignored. Firstly, it fragments our attention span, making it increasingly difficult to concentrate on longer texts. Secondly, the information obtained is often shallow and disconnected, failing to build a systematic knowledge structure.
Therefore, my attitude is clear: while we may occasionally benefit from fragmented reading for quick updates, we should prioritize deep reading of complete works. Only by immersing ourselves in books can we truly develop critical thinking and gain profound insights. Let’s not sacrifice depth for speed.

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。
My name is Mae. I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others.
“Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project.
The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen.
“Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?”
I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said.
Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh.
Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”
“Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed.

A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 That night I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people.
A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部,需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感,设计了一款提醒类App,最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,我坐在书桌前,笔记本打开着,思绪在脑海中飞速运转,脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知,第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”,并描写设计过程和决心。
②由第二段首句内容“一周后,我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知,第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式,最后描写作者的感悟。
