A Helping Hand
Easton LaChappelle was just 14 years old when he first showed a robotic arm at a science fair. Unlike other complex devices, it was a 31 project made of plastic blocks and fishing line, but it caught the attention of a girl with a very special story.
The girl, Jenny, was born without an arm. Her current artificial arm was just a basic hook (挂钩), which cost an unbelievable 80,000 dollars. Worse still, children like her grow fast, so they need to 32 their prosthetic arms often. “It was expensive and not user-friendly,” Easton thought 33 he shook hands with her. “I built mine for only 300 dollars. I can do something for them—I have to make greater progress!”
Back at home, Easton turned his room into a laboratory. Day and night, he 34 making his designs better. For his 16th birthday, he got a 3D printer, which allowed him to create parts more easily. With it, he invented a new arm that could be controlled by the user’s brain signals. However, the arm had a big problem: it weighed 3.6 kilograms, which was too heavy for a child to use comfortably.
Easton didn’t give up. He kept solving one problem after another. 35 at the age of 23, he succeeded. His new design was light—only 0.5 kilograms—and much cheaper, costing around $500. But Easton didn’t want to make money from his invention. “I just wanted to help,” he said. So he posted the design online 36 . Now, anyone with a 3D printer can download the design and make an artificial arm for those in need.
Easton’s story is truly a “helping hand”—not just for Jenny, but for more children around the world.

In a small American town, two very different girls found friendship in the most unexpected way. Sarah was the school’s best student who always sat in the front row, while Emma was known for her art skills but struggled with her studies.
At first, they 43 each other because they thought they had nothing in common. Sarah thought Emma was casual about schoolwork, and Emma found Sarah too serious. They never spoke until their teacher paired them for a science project.
The project required building a model volcano. Sarah had all the research facts, but she couldn’t design an attractive model. Emma had great creative ideas but didn’t understand the science behind volcanoes. They realised they needed to work together 44 they could succeed.
Their attempts were difficult at first. Sarah wanted everything perfect, while Emma liked to experiment. After several failed attempts, they finally learned to listen to each other. Sarah explained the scientific principles, and Emma showed how to make the model look realistic.
The project became much 45 when they combined their strengths. When Sarah felt stressed about the presentation, Emma would 46 to help her practice. When Emma struggled with the written report, Sarah patiently helped her organise the information.
On the presentation day, their volcano model was both scientifically accurate and beautifully designed. When they received the top grade, Emma turned to Sarah and said 47 , “We did it together!” Their success wasn’t just about the grade—it was about discovering how their differences made them stronger.
Their friendship grew beyond the project. They still had different interests, but they now appreciate what made each other unique. Their story shows that true friendship isn’t about being the same—it’s about the special 48 that forms when we accept and value our differences.

【答案】43.B 44.D 45.B 46.C 47.B 48.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了两个性格和学习情况截然不同的美国女孩Sarah和Emma,通过合作完成科学项目,发现了彼此差异带来的力量,进而建立了深厚友谊的故事。
43.句意:起初,她们彼此回避,因为她们认为自己没有共同之处。
根据“because they thought they had nothing in common”可知,她们认为自己没有共同之处,所以会彼此回避。“avoid”表示“回避,避开”,符合语境。“help”表示“帮助”,“follow”表示“跟随”,“praise”表示“赞扬”,均不符合她们因没有共同之处而保持距离的语境。
44.句意:她们意识到,如果通力合作,能取得成功。
根据“they needed to work together”和“they could succeed”可知,前后是条件关系,即如果想要成功就需要一起合作。“if”引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”,符合语境。“because”引导原因状语从句,表示“因为”;“unless”引导条件状语从句,表示“除非”;“so”表示“所以”,均不符合此处条件关系的语境。
45.句意:当她们结合了各自的优势时,这个项目变得容易多了。
根据“when they combined their strengths”可知,结合各自优势后项目会变得更容易。“easier”是“easy”的比较级,表示“更容易的”,符合语境。“harder”表示“更难的”,“longer”表示“更长的”,“smaller”表示“更小的”,均不符合结合优势后项目变容易的语境。
46.句意:当Sarah对展示感到有压力时,Emma会主动提出帮她练习。
根据“to help her practice”可知,Emma会主动提出帮助Sarah练习。“offer to do sth.”表示“主动提出做某事”,符合语境。“refuse”表示“拒绝”,“forget”表示“忘记”,“fear”表示“害怕”,均不符合主动提供帮助的语境。
47.句意:当她们获得最高分时,Emma转向Sarah,自豪地说:“我们一起做到了!”
根据“We did it together!”可知,她们成功获得了最高分,Emma此时应该是自豪的。“proudly”是副词,表示“自豪地”,可修饰动词“said”,符合语境。“sadly”表示“悲伤地”,“angrily”表示“生气地”,“quietly”表示“安静地”,均不符合成功后的情绪状态。
48.句意:她们的故事表明,真正的友谊不在于相同——而在于当我们接受和珍视我们的差异时所形成的特殊联系。
根据“that forms when we accept and value our differences”可知,当我们接受和珍视差异时会形成一种特殊的联系。“connection”表示“联系”,符合语境。“competition”表示“竞争”,“argument”表示“争论”,“distance”表示“距离”,均不符合接受差异后形成特殊联系的语境。

About 20 years ago, a man named Jose Gutierrez found a book in the garbage (垃圾). It was Anna Karenina by the famous writer Leo Tolstoy. At that time, Jose was working as a garbage truck driver in Colombia. Every night, he would find books that rich people had thrown away. He thought it was such a waste, so he began to collect the books.
Sometimes, he picked up as many as 50 or 60 in one night. He cleaned them carefully and placed them on shelves. As time went by, the number of books grew. After many years, he saved over 20,000 books! His home slowly turned into a library, and he proudly named it “The Power of Words”.
Jose’s city has some public libraries, but they are far from the areas where many poor families live. Also, buying books is too expensive for many of these families. So Jose made his home library free and open on weekends. Children come to read stories, and adults come to learn new things.
Jose also came from a poor family. His mother read stories to him every night. Even though they didn’t have much, his mother’s love for books helped Jose grow up with a strong interest in reading.
Even now, Jose still looks for books in the garbage, just like he did years ago. In recent years, he has also traveled to other countries to share his story and encourage people to love reading. Jose always says, “Books can change lives.” He hopes that, through his work, more people will start reading and build a better future for themselves.

In the city of Zhengzhou, there is a hot pot restaurant called Shengyousheng. It is doing something very special. It gives jobs to people who are hearing-impaired—that means they can’t hear well or at all.

Shengyousheng is a self-service hot pot restaurant. Customers choose their own food and make their own sauces (调味汁), so there’s not much need to talk. This makes it easy for hearing-impaired workers to do their jobs. To help with communication, the restaurant uses big posters on the walls. These posters show simple hand signs, like how to say “thank you” by placing (放) one hand near your chin (下巴) and moving it forward. There are also signs for “food”, “hello”, and “wait for a while”. Next to each picture, there are easy-to-read words, so customers can understand what the hand signs mean. Each table also has cards and pens. Customers can use them to write to the workers if needed.
Shengyousheng is not only helping people with hearing problems find jobs, but also showing everyone that kindness (善良), patience (耐心), and respect are just as important as words. It’s a restaurant full of good food and big hearts.

A Helping Hand
Easton LaChappelle was just 14 years old when he first showed a robotic arm at a science fair. Unlike other complex devices, it was a 31 project made of plastic blocks and fishing line, but it caught the attention of a girl with a very special story.
The girl, Jenny, was born without an arm. Her current artificial arm was just a basic hook (挂钩), which cost an unbelievable 80,000 dollars. Worse still, children like her grow fast, so they need to 32 their prosthetic arms often. “It was expensive and not user-friendly,” Easton thought 33 he shook hands with her. “I built mine for only 300 dollars. I can do something for them—I have to make greater progress!”
Back at home, Easton turned his room into a laboratory. Day and night, he 34 making his designs better. For his 16th birthday, he got a 3D printer, which allowed him to create parts more easily. With it, he invented a new arm that could be controlled by the user’s brain signals. However, the arm had a big problem: it weighed 3.6 kilograms, which was too heavy for a child to use comfortably.
Easton didn’t give up. He kept solving one problem after another. 35 at the age of 23, he succeeded. His new design was light—only 0.5 kilograms—and much cheaper, costing around $500. But Easton didn’t want to make money from his invention. “I just wanted to help,” he said. So he posted the design online 36 . Now, anyone with a 3D printer can download the design and make an artificial arm for those in need.
Easton’s story is truly a “helping hand”—not just for Jenny, but for more children around the world.

In a small American town, two very different girls found friendship in the most unexpected way. Sarah was the school’s best student who always sat in the front row, while Emma was known for her art skills but struggled with her studies.
At first, they 43 each other because they thought they had nothing in common. Sarah thought Emma was casual about schoolwork, and Emma found Sarah too serious. They never spoke until their teacher paired them for a science project.
The project required building a model volcano. Sarah had all the research facts, but she couldn’t design an attractive model. Emma had great creative ideas but didn’t understand the science behind volcanoes. They realised they needed to work together 44 they could succeed.
Their attempts were difficult at first. Sarah wanted everything perfect, while Emma liked to experiment. After several failed attempts, they finally learned to listen to each other. Sarah explained the scientific principles, and Emma showed how to make the model look realistic.
The project became much 45 when they combined their strengths. When Sarah felt stressed about the presentation, Emma would 46 to help her practice. When Emma struggled with the written report, Sarah patiently helped her organise the information.
On the presentation day, their volcano model was both scientifically accurate and beautifully designed. When they received the top grade, Emma turned to Sarah and said 47 , “We did it together!” Their success wasn’t just about the grade—it was about discovering how their differences made them stronger.
Their friendship grew beyond the project. They still had different interests, but they now appreciate what made each other unique. Their story shows that true friendship isn’t about being the same—it’s about the special 48 that forms when we accept and value our differences.

About 20 years ago, a man named Jose Gutierrez found a book in the garbage (垃圾). It was Anna Karenina by the famous writer Leo Tolstoy. At that time, Jose was working as a garbage truck driver in Colombia. Every night, he would find books that rich people had thrown away. He thought it was such a waste, so he began to collect the books.
Sometimes, he picked up as many as 50 or 60 in one night. He cleaned them carefully and placed them on shelves. As time went by, the number of books grew. After many years, he saved over 20,000 books! His home slowly turned into a library, and he proudly named it “The Power of Words”.
Jose’s city has some public libraries, but they are far from the areas where many poor families live. Also, buying books is too expensive for many of these families. So Jose made his home library free and open on weekends. Children come to read stories, and adults come to learn new things.
Jose also came from a poor family. His mother read stories to him every night. Even though they didn’t have much, his mother’s love for books helped Jose grow up with a strong interest in reading.
Even now, Jose still looks for books in the garbage, just like he did years ago. In recent years, he has also traveled to other countries to share his story and encourage people to love reading. Jose always says, “Books can change lives.” He hopes that, through his work, more people will start reading and build a better future for themselves.
