English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious.
1. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta?
A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England.
C. In the Hereford Cathedral. D. In the Black and White House Museum.
2. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center?
A. It’s situated near a big island. B. It’s almost surrounded by water.
C. It’s known for its flower festival. D. It’s easily accessible from London.
3. What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey?
A. Try the Cornish pie. B. Watch a British TV show.
C. Go fishing in the sea. D. Take pictures of the harbor.
B
“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
4. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude.
5. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
7. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection.

Nowadays, online reviews are everywhere. We’re often asked to leave a review after making a purchase, dining out, or receiving a service. Many of us not only leave reviews but also value those from others. In fact, 98% of consumers consider reviews an essential part of the decision-making process, and 45% of users won’t buy a product without any reviews.
However, what impact does this culture of online reviews have on our brains and lives? Take Helen Plyconic as an example. Her low Uber rating makes her feel anxious every time she takes a ride, even though she believes she has done nothing wrong. Businesses are also significantly affected by online reviews. Sam Morgan, who runs several restaurants, was once blackmailed (敲诈) by cheaters who threatened to post fake negative reviews if he didn’t pay up. Such malicious reviews can be a real headache for businesses. Moreover, review platforms often don’t act immediately or conduct strict reviews when dealing with such issues.
Of course, online reviews aren’t all bad. Before buying clothes or other products, we often refer to reviews to learn about the product’s style, fabric, and size. Reviews can reduce our anxiety about unknown experiences to some extent. Also, constructive feedback can help businesses to make improvements. For example, if a buyer points out that the packaging is not strong enough, the seller may rethink their packaging method.
Nevertheless, the truth of online reviews has always been a concern. False reviews are widespread, and AI-generated reviews are common. They usually lack emotion and clear opinions. To solve this, the UK has introduced relevant laws to ban the submission of fake reviews.
Online reviews have both advantages and disadvantages. While we enjoy the convenience they bring, we also need to learn to distinguish between true and false reviews and view these evaluations rationally.
8. What is the purpose of listing the statistics in paragraph 1?
A. To explain consumers’ choices before shopping.
B. To show buyers’ preference for getting a service.
C. To clarify these good and bad effects of reviews.
D. To highlight the importance of online comments.
9. What docs the underlined word “malicious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Casual. B. Harmful.
C. Honest. D. Positive.
10. What does the UK do to fight against false online reviews?
A. Make related laws to forbid fake reviews.
B. Stop users making AI-generated reviews.
C. Ask the platforms to check false reviews.
D. Warn the public not to post false reviews.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards online reviews?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective.
C. Supportive. D. Negative.
D
Coral reefs, long hailed as centers of marine biodiversity, are now being revealed as powerful conductors of microscopic life in the waters around them. A pioneering study led by Dr. Herdis Steinsdóttir demonstrates that reefs actively shape daily rhythms in nearby microbial communities, changing their makeup and numbers over each 24-hour period.
Published in Science Advances, the research monitored microbes in the northern Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. By comparing waters close to reefs with open ocean areas during both winter and summer, and collecting samples every six hours, the team uncovered clear daily and seasonal patterns previously missed. They employed advanced methods like genetic sequencing and high-resolution imaging to track bacteria, microalgae, and microscopic predators with great detail.
Key findings emerged. Reef waters consistently had lower counts of bacteria and microalgae compared to open waters, pointing to active removal by reef life. In contrast, populations of heterotrophic protists — tiny predators that consume bacteria — reached their highest levels at night, sometimes increasing by 80%. This nighttime spike emphasizes predation (捕食) as a major force driving changes in microbial communities.
Another major discovery involved Symbiodiniaceae, the microscopic algae (微观藻类) that live in symbiosis with corals. Their genetic markers peaked around midday in reef waters, suggesting a daily cycle tied to light availability and coral biological activity. This highlights the reef’s active, not passive, role in organizing microbial life. As co-author Dr. Frada stated, “Reefs generate daily patterns that repeat with the seasons and affect how energy moves through the system.”
Importantly, the study found that these daily microbial rhythms were as powerful as seasonal changes, stressing the critical need to consider time of day in ecological studies. By combining genetic, imaging, and environmental data, the research provided a comprehensive, time-based picture of microbial life around reefs. It not only deepens our understanding of reefs’ broader ecological influence but also paves the way for new conservation approaches that use an understanding of microbial rhythms to protect these vital ecosystems.
12. What is the main finding of the study led by Dr. Steinsdottir?
A. Coral reefs are facing unprecedented threats from microbial activities.
B. Microbial populations near reefs show changes only with the seasons.
C. Reefs actively create daily rhythmic patterns in nearby microbial populations.
D. Reefs passively host a diverse but stable community of microbes year-round.
13. What can be inferred about heterotrophic protists from paragraph 3?
A. They are most active during the day
B. They are a primary food source for corals.
C. They are less abundant in reef waters than in the open ocean.
D. Their population rise helps control bacterial numbers at night.
14. Why does the author quote Dr. Frada in paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize the passive nature of coral reefs.
B. To highlight the seasonal stability of reef ecosystems.
C. To stress the active role of reefs in shaping microbial cycles.
D. To explain the sampling methodology already used in the study.
15. What is the significance of the discovery that daily rhythms are as strong as seasonal ones?
A. It proves that seasonal changes are irrelevant to reef studies.
B. It suggests that time of day is a crucial factor in ecological research.
C. It shows that all marine ecosystems operate on identical daily cycles.
D. It indicates that microbial activity is unrelated to environmental changes.

What is adulthood? Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. ____16____
But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. ____17____ If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. ____18____ You’re self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are within all this.
So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. ____19____ We are a social species, so this is important.
While raising an adult is a parent’s job, it’s also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development. ____20____
A. It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles.
B. They talk about someone’s inability to support themselves through work.
C. It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others.
D. In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you.
E. They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity.
F. You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music.
G. When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity.

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。
The old radio station at the end of Elm Street had always been my grandfather’s secret castle. Ever since I could remember, every Saturday afternoon, I would steal up the wooden stairs, watching in awe as he broadcast his beloved show, “Melodies of Memory,” to our small town. His voice, deep and warm like honey pouring from a jar, would introduce each record with a story that made every song feel like it was written just for us.
Last month, when he passed away peacefully in his sleep, the station fell into an unnatural silence that seemed to swallow our whole town. The microphone stood silent, the records gathered dust, and my heart ached with a hollow emptiness. Today, while sorting through his cherished collection in the attic (阁楼), my fingers came across something unexpected — a small, yellowed note in his familiar handwriting inside his favorite Beethoven record. It simply said, “For my Sarah. Keep the music alive.” Those four words struck something deep within me, awakening a determination I didn’t know I possessed.
With trembling hands, I unlocked the station door for the first time since his passing. Everything stood exactly as he had left it, the microphone, the turntables (唱机转盘) and the records all waiting patiently. My eyes welled up with tears as I traced my fingers over his worn leather chair, “Could I, just a quiet high school girl with no broadcasting experience, possibly fill the shoes of a legendary host like him?”
Taking a deep breath that smelled of memories and possibilities, I settled into his chair. I selected his favorite record — Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, the very one that had held his final message to me. Placing the record carefully on the turntable, I watched it begin to spin as I put on the headphones like what my grandfather once did. With a push of the button, the familiar red “ON AIR” sign flashed on. I knew it was the time.
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。
I opened my mouth, but no sound came out at first.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the final notes of the music faded, I saw many people moving outside.

“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
4. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude.
5. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
7. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A

Nowadays, online reviews are everywhere. We’re often asked to leave a review after making a purchase, dining out, or receiving a service. Many of us not only leave reviews but also value those from others. In fact, 98% of consumers consider reviews an essential part of the decision-making process, and 45% of users won’t buy a product without any reviews.
However, what impact does this culture of online reviews have on our brains and lives? Take Helen Plyconic as an example. Her low Uber rating makes her feel anxious every time she takes a ride, even though she believes she has done nothing wrong. Businesses are also significantly affected by online reviews. Sam Morgan, who runs several restaurants, was once blackmailed (敲诈) by cheaters who threatened to post fake negative reviews if he didn’t pay up. Such malicious reviews can be a real headache for businesses. Moreover, review platforms often don’t act immediately or conduct strict reviews when dealing with such issues.
Of course, online reviews aren’t all bad. Before buying clothes or other products, we often refer to reviews to learn about the product’s style, fabric, and size. Reviews can reduce our anxiety about unknown experiences to some extent. Also, constructive feedback can help businesses to make improvements. For example, if a buyer points out that the packaging is not strong enough, the seller may rethink their packaging method.
Nevertheless, the truth of online reviews has always been a concern. False reviews are widespread, and AI-generated reviews are common. They usually lack emotion and clear opinions. To solve this, the UK has introduced relevant laws to ban the submission of fake reviews.
Online reviews have both advantages and disadvantages. While we enjoy the convenience they bring, we also need to learn to distinguish between true and false reviews and view these evaluations rationally.
8. What is the purpose of listing the statistics in paragraph 1?
A. To explain consumers’ choices before shopping.
B. To show buyers’ preference for getting a service.
C. To clarify these good and bad effects of reviews.
D. To highlight the importance of online comments.
9. What docs the underlined word “malicious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Casual. B. Harmful.
C. Honest. D. Positive.
10. What does the UK do to fight against false online reviews?
A. Make related laws to forbid fake reviews.
B. Stop users making AI-generated reviews.
C. Ask the platforms to check false reviews.
D. Warn the public not to post false reviews.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards online reviews?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective.
C. Supportive. D. Negative.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要分析了在线评论存在的负面影响与积极作用,倡导理性看待在线评论。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In fact, 98% of consumers consider reviews an essential part of the decision-making process, and 45% of users won’t buy a product without any reviews.(事实上,98%的消费者认为评价是决策过程中的重要组成部分,而45%的用户在没有任何评价的情况下是不会购买该产品的)”可知,作者列举这两组数据,是为了强调在线评论在消费者决策时的重要性。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Sam Morgan, who runs several restaurants, was once blackmailed (敲诈) by cheaters who threatened to post fake negative reviews if he didn’t pay up.(Sam Morgan经营着几家餐馆。他曾遭到一些骗子的敲诈,这些骗子威胁说,如果不给他们钱,就会上网发布虚假的负面评价)”可知,骗子发布虚假的负面评论是为了进行敲诈威胁,故这类评论是具有伤害性的。由此可推知,“malicious”的意思为“有害的”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To solve this, the UK has introduced relevant laws to ban the submission of fake reviews.(为了解决这个问题,英国出台了相关法律,禁止提交虚假评论)”可知,为了解决虚假评论的问题,英国出台了相关法律来禁止提交虚假评论。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲述了在线评论带来的负面影响,第三段说明其存在的积极作用,最后一段“Online reviews have both advantages and disadvantages. While we enjoy the convenience they bring, we also need to learn to distinguish between true and false reviews and view these evaluations rationally.(网络评价既有优点也有缺点。一方面,我们享受着它们带来的便利;另一方面,我们也需要学会辨别真假评价,并以理性的态度看待这些评价)”总结在线评论利弊并存,建议人们理性看待。由此可推知,作者对在线评论的态度是客观的。故选B。

Coral reefs, long hailed as centers of marine biodiversity, are now being revealed as powerful conductors of microscopic life in the waters around them. A pioneering study led by Dr. Herdis Steinsdóttir demonstrates that reefs actively shape daily rhythms in nearby microbial communities, changing their makeup and numbers over each 24-hour period.
Published in Science Advances, the research monitored microbes in the northern Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. By comparing waters close to reefs with open ocean areas during both winter and summer, and collecting samples every six hours, the team uncovered clear daily and seasonal patterns previously missed. They employed advanced methods like genetic sequencing and high-resolution imaging to track bacteria, microalgae, and microscopic predators with great detail.
Key findings emerged. Reef waters consistently had lower counts of bacteria and microalgae compared to open waters, pointing to active removal by reef life. In contrast, populations of heterotrophic protists — tiny predators that consume bacteria — reached their highest levels at night, sometimes increasing by 80%. This nighttime spike emphasizes predation (捕食) as a major force driving changes in microbial communities.
Another major discovery involved Symbiodiniaceae, the microscopic algae (微观藻类) that live in symbiosis with corals. Their genetic markers peaked around midday in reef waters, suggesting a daily cycle tied to light availability and coral biological activity. This highlights the reef’s active, not passive, role in organizing microbial life. As co-author Dr. Frada stated, “Reefs generate daily patterns that repeat with the seasons and affect how energy moves through the system.”
Importantly, the study found that these daily microbial rhythms were as powerful as seasonal changes, stressing the critical need to consider time of day in ecological studies. By combining genetic, imaging, and environmental data, the research provided a comprehensive, time-based picture of microbial life around reefs. It not only deepens our understanding of reefs’ broader ecological influence but also paves the way for new conservation approaches that use an understanding of microbial rhythms to protect these vital ecosystems.
12. What is the main finding of the study led by Dr. Steinsdottir?
A. Coral reefs are facing unprecedented threats from microbial activities.
B. Microbial populations near reefs show changes only with the seasons.
C. Reefs actively create daily rhythmic patterns in nearby microbial populations.
D. Reefs passively host a diverse but stable community of microbes year-round.
13. What can be inferred about heterotrophic protists from paragraph 3?
A. They are most active during the day
B. They are a primary food source for corals.
C. They are less abundant in reef waters than in the open ocean.
D. Their population rise helps control bacterial numbers at night.
14. Why does the author quote Dr. Frada in paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize the passive nature of coral reefs.
B. To highlight the seasonal stability of reef ecosystems.
C. To stress the active role of reefs in shaping microbial cycles.
D. To explain the sampling methodology already used in the study.
15. What is the significance of the discovery that daily rhythms are as strong as seasonal ones?
A. It proves that seasonal changes are irrelevant to reef studies.
B. It suggests that time of day is a crucial factor in ecological research.
C. It shows that all marine ecosystems operate on identical daily cycles.
D. It indicates that microbial activity is unrelated to environmental changes.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B

What is adulthood? Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. ____16____
But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. ____17____ If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. ____18____ You’re self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are within all this.
So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. ____19____ We are a social species, so this is important.
While raising an adult is a parent’s job, it’s also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development. ____20____
A. It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles.
B. They talk about someone’s inability to support themselves through work.
C. It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others.
D. In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you.
E. They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity.
F. You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music.
G. When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. A

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:感谢北京作为中国首都的悠久的历史,同时每一条胡同都有自己的故事,甚至有一些还跟历史事件有关。根据句意可知,空格处译为“作为”,as是介词意为“作为”,符合句意。故填as。

【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:与紫禁城颐和园和天坛所代表的宫廷生活和上流社会文化相比,胡同所反映出的是草根北京人的文化。根据名词culture后面的介词短语of grassroots Beijingers可知,此处culture表示特指概念,应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。

【答案】
Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear that you want to take part in the UN’s initiative for global teenagers. Here’s my advice.
I suggest focusing on environmental protection. As we know, the environment is facing serious problems, which affect everyone’s life. If we can raise awareness about it and encourage more people to take action, it will make a big difference. Another idea is to promote cultural exchange. We live in a world where different cultures coexist. By sharing our cultures and learning from each other, we can build a more harmonious global community.
I hope these suggestions help! Let me know if you need more ideas.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
The old radio station at the end of Elm Street had always been my grandfather’s secret castle. Ever since I could remember, every Saturday afternoon, I would steal up the wooden stairs, watching in awe as he broadcast his beloved show, “Melodies of Memory,” to our small town. His voice, deep and warm like honey pouring from a jar, would introduce each record with a story that made every song feel like it was written just for us.
Last month, when he passed away peacefully in his sleep, the station fell into an unnatural silence that seemed to swallow our whole town. The microphone stood silent, the records gathered dust, and my heart ached with a hollow emptiness. Today, while sorting through his cherished collection in the attic (阁楼), my fingers came across something unexpected — a small, yellowed note in his familiar handwriting inside his favorite Beethoven record. It simply said, “For my Sarah. Keep the music alive.” Those four words struck something deep within me, awakening a determination I didn’t know I possessed.
With trembling hands, I unlocked the station door for the first time since his passing. Everything stood exactly as he had left it, the microphone, the turntables (唱机转盘) and the records all waiting patiently. My eyes welled up with tears as I traced my fingers over his worn leather chair, “Could I, just a quiet high school girl with no broadcasting experience, possibly fill the shoes of a legendary host like him?”
Taking a deep breath that smelled of memories and possibilities, I settled into his chair. I selected his favorite record — Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, the very one that had held his final message to me. Placing the record carefully on the turntable, I watched it begin to spin as I put on the headphones like what my grandfather once did. With a push of the button, the familiar red “ON AIR” sign flashed on. I knew it was the time.
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。
I opened my mouth, but no sound came out at first.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the final notes of the music faded, I saw many people moving outside.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: I opened my mouth, but no sound came out at first. My mind went completely blank, the fear of failure flooding over me. Just as panic was about to consume me, the rich, familiar melody of Beethoven’s Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 filled my ears through the headphones. It was the very sound that had always comforted me in my grandfather’s presence. I closed my eyes, pretending he was sitting right across from me, giving me one of his encouraging nods. “Welcome,” I began, my voice a fragile whisper that quickly gained strength, “to a new chapter of ‘Melodies of Memory’. Today, we start with a piece that taught me about the quiet strength of nature, and of family.”
Paragraph 2: As the final notes of the music faded, I saw something moving outside. To my astonishment, the town was packed with so many people. They were looking up in curiosity, standing still listening. Some had their eyes closed, others were smiling softly, and a few even had their hands over their hearts. Then, one by one, they began to clap. Tears streamed down my face. I hadn’t just played a record; I had bridged the gap between the past and the present, and in doing so, I had found my own voice. At that moment, I felt a deep connection to him and understood that his greatest legacy was not only about the music, but the courage to share it.
