Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree.
Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin (催产素), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive contagious fear in fish.
In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank. Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers.
In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly, researchers say, even trying to comfort them.
Finally, the researchers dissected (解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy.
The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research.
8. What does human-fish empathy similarity indicate?
A. Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution.
B. Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish.
C Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution.
D. Fish developed empathy separately after splitting from mammals.
9 What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study?
A. It enhances their swimming speed.
B. It shapes their response to peers’ fear.
C. It helps them detect predators faster.
D. It reduces their need for social interaction.
10. How did the researchers reach their conclusion?
A. By analyzing data. B. By making comparisons.
C. By building models. D. By conducting surveys.
11. The underlined word “sentient” in the last paragraph most likely means ________.
A. capable of physical adaptation
B. dependent on group survival
C. skilled at avoiding predators
D. able to perceive and feel emotions
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现鱼类可能具有类似人类的共情能力,且这种能力可能与进化有关。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. (在《科学》杂志发表的一项研究中,研究人员称,人类共情的相关机制可能同样在鱼类中起作用。这表明,人类理解和分享他人感受的能力可能比此前认为的进化得早得多 —— 大约在 4.5 亿年前,即鱼类和哺乳动物在进化树上分化之时。)”可知,人类与鱼类在共情能力上的相似性表明鱼类可能拥有源于进化的类似共情的能力。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. (许多转基因动物对同伴的恐惧没有反应,而一组正常的对照鱼则有反应。然后,当研究人员给转基因鱼注射催产素时,它们的行为更像标准的、未转基因的鱼,并模仿了同伴的恐惧行为。)”可知,催产素在斑马鱼中塑造了它们对同伴恐惧的反应。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. (许多转基因动物对同伴的恐惧没有反应,而一组正常的对照鱼则有反应。然后,当研究人员给转基因鱼注射催产素时,它们的行为更像标准的、未转基因的鱼,并模仿了同伴的恐惧行为。)”以及第四段中“In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. (在另一项实验中,斑马鱼似乎更关注之前表现出痛苦的鱼的视频,而不是总是表现出平静的鱼的视频。)”可知,研究人员通过做比较得出结论。故选B。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. (这些研究结果表明,鱼类可能和人类及其他物种一样sentient。“它们有能力拥有情感生活,”德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的神经生物学家汉斯・霍夫曼说,他并未参与这项研究。)”可知,研究发现鱼类可能像人类和其他物种一样有感知和感受情绪的能力,故划sentient意思是“能够感知和感受情绪”。故选D。
D
While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there’s insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.
Urban planners Lila Chen and Ryan Moore are deeply troubled by such issues. In their newly released book Green Living: Reclaim Our Cities’ Natural Spaces, they call for a fundamental rethinking of urban design and the role greenery should play in our daily lives.
The landscape of urban living began to shift decades ago. Vast areas of natural vegetation were cleared to make room for sprawling concrete structures and commercial centers, forcing residents to seek nature in distant suburbs. Some grassroots groups fought back. Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetlands area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.
Although these initiatives gained public attention, the harsh reality is that the majority of modern cities remain overwhelmingly dominated by urban development at the expense of green spaces. The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.
We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation? The authors of Green Living are spot-on: it’s high time we re-evaluate the urban landscapes right outside our homes.
12. What phenomenon does the author highlight in paragraph 1?
A. Urban commuting has become overly dependent on technology.
B. The reduction of urban green spaces leads to lifestyle changes.
C. Virtual entertainment is replacing outdoor activities completely.
D. Residents in densely populated areas have limited access to jobs.
13. What were the Seattle community organizer and other activists attempting to achieve?
A. Expand commercial development in urban areas.
B. Relocate residents to distant suburbs with more greenery.
C. Safeguard urban natural spaces for a balanced lifestyle.
D. Promote the construction of more shopping malls in wetlands.
14. What can be inferred about the initiatives in California in the 2010s?
A. They successfully increased the ratio of urban green spaces.
B. They failed to reverse the trend of shrinking green areas.
C. They led to a surge in environmental protection donations.
D. They resulted in the closure of all commercial construction projects.
15. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?
A. Urban Rush: Sacrificing Nature? B. Tech Advance: A Double-edged Sword?
C. Green Spaces: A Luxury or Necessity? D. Community Activism: A Lost Cause?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市发展以牺牲城市绿地为代价,虽然提高了便利性,但给环境和人们的健康生活带来了巨大威胁。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there’s insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.(近年来,尽管科技进步提升了城市通勤的便利性,但环境研究显示,城市绿地正以令人担忧的速度减少,在人口密集区域尤为明显。许多居民抱怨,能够供他们放松和锻炼的自然区域不足,因此他们不得不更多地待在室内,依赖虚拟娱乐打发时间)”可知,作者在第一段主要强调了城市绿地减少导致居民生活方式的改变。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetlands area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.(最值得关注的是,一位21世纪初移居西雅图的社区组织者发起了一场运动,旨在阻止当地一片湿地被改建成购物中心。埃米莉・克拉克对这一计划中的破坏行为表示愤怒,她向市议会呼吁:“要将西雅图打造成自然与城市生活和谐共存的城市,而不只是一座充斥着混凝土建筑和商业活动的地方。”)”可知,西雅图社区组织者和其他活动者试图守护城市自然空间,追求平衡生活方式。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.(城市自然区域的覆盖面积一直在稳步缩小。例如,在加州,城市绿地占城市总面积的比例已降至历史最低水平,尽管该州正在推动环保运动)”推知,21世纪初加州的环保活动未能扭转绿地面积不断萎缩的趋势。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合最后一段“We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation? The authors of Green Living are spot-on: it’s high time we re-evaluate the urban landscapes right outside our homes.(我们投入大量资源建设以速度和效率为优先的城市基础设施,却忽视了绿地的真正价值。当市民难以就近接触自然环境以滋养心灵时,我们是否充分意识到其中的社会成本与心理代价?《绿色生活》的作者们说得很对:是时候重新审视我们家门口的城市风貌了)”可知,文章主要介绍了城市发展以牺牲城市绿地为代价,虽然提高了便利性,但给环境和人们的健康生活带来了巨大威胁,因此A项“Urban Rush: Sacrificing Nature?(都市快速发展:牺牲自然?)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

42. and 43. in

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国篆刻艺术的历史、发展以及其在当今社会的应用和影响力,该艺术于2009年被联合国教科文组织列入非物质文化遗产名录。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它一直是中国古典艺术不可分割的一部分。根据句意可知,此处表示“一个不可分割的部分”,且inseparable是以元音音素开头的单词,所以应用不定冠词an修饰,表泛指。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:篆刻艺术可追溯到商朝,已有三千多年的历史。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词has,所以date应用非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语Seal-engraving art之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式,作定语。故填dating。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种艺术形式在秦朝得到了迅速发展,当时人们在器具和文件上刻上自己的名字来表明所有权。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Qin dynasty,在从句中作时间状语,所以应用关系副词when引导该从句。故填when。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:秦始皇统一中国后,他命令一群工匠用玉制作一枚名为“玺”的御印。craftsman为可数名词,由a group of可知,此处应用其复数形式。故填craftsmen。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:直到明朝,艺术家和学者才开始使用刻有自己名字的印章来标记他们的书法和绘画作品的所有权。use sth. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“用某物做某事”,所以此处应用动词不定式to mark作目的状语。故填to mark。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:1904年,西泠印社在不同流派印章艺术家的共同努力下成立,它是中国第一个此类组织。修饰名词efforts应用combine的形容词形式combined作定语,意为“共同的”。故填combined。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:1904年,西泠印社在不同流派印章艺术家的共同努力下成立,它是中国第一个此类组织。根据句意可知,空格前后为并列关系,所以应用连词and连接两个分句。故填and。
43题详解】
考查介词。句意:如今,印章在官方文件和私人信件中仍被广泛使用。in use是固定搭配,意为“在使用中”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:近年来,随着篆刻印章获得全球的赞赏,越来越多的人迷上了这种物品。根据空格前的形容词worldwide可知,此处应用appreciate的名词形式appreciation,作gaining的宾语,且appreciation为不可数名词。故填appreciation。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,随着篆刻印章获得全球的赞赏,越来越多的人迷上了这种物品。根据时间状语in recent years可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语an increasing number of people为复数,助动词应用have。故填have become。

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。
Mark and Daniel were next-door neighbors. Every summer, the two families held backyard barbecues together, with Mark bringing homemade dumplings and Daniel’s wife preparing her famous cakes. During holidays, they exchanged small but thoughtful gifts.
One June, Mark began building a new garden shed to store his tools. He hired a construction team that worked quickly but not carefully. Large wooden boards and sharp nails were piled dangerously close to Daniel’s fence. Daniel noticed that and warned the workers to be more careful, but the warning was brushed off.
Then it happened. A sudden summer storm hit the town. Strong winds knocked over the pile of wood. The damage to Daniel’s garden was awful—his wife’s prized rose bushes, which she had been nurturing (培育) for over fifteen years, were crushed and destroyed.
She was heartbroken. Failing to comfort her, Daniel stormed over to Mark’s house, demanding an apology and help with the repairs. But Mark, who had just returned from work and was tired and stressed, felt wrongly accused.
“It’s not on purpose,” he said sharply. “You can’t blame me for the weather.”
“But it wouldn’t have happened if your workers had listened!” Daniel argued.
Voices were raised, fingers pointed, and neither side was willing to back down. That day, a long-standing friendship cracked under pressure. From then on, they stopped greeting each other and even avoided eye contact. Days passed. Seasons changed. But the cold silence remained.
Winter came. One day, Daniel caught a glimpse of Mark and noticed he was in a wheelchair with a cast (石膏) on his leg. Daniel hesitated about going over but his feet remained.
A heavy snowstorm quietly arrived that night, blanketing the neighborhood in thick, icy snow. When morning came, driveways were buried, and doors were nearly frozen shut. Men came out of their houses to clear the driveways.
By the window Mark looked at his broken leg and sighed, “My responsibility! But now there’s no chance for me to make it.”
At noon, Daniel noticed Mark’s driveway was still covered with thick snow.
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。
Daniel decided to help.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A snow-cleared driveway appeared before Mark and his family.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Daniel decided to help. He dressed warmly, picked up his snow shovel, and stepped into the cold. Without a word, he walked to Mark’s driveway and began to clear the heavy snow. Soon, the sound of scraping echoed through the quiet neighborhood. Inside, Mark’s wife noticed and quickly joined Daniel with a broom, brushing the steps and path. Mark watched from the window, emotion tightening his chest. The sight of Daniel working steadily, despite the past, made something shift inside him.
A snow-cleared driveway appeared before Mark and his family. Mark rolled to the door, the cold air rushing in as he looked at the giant figure in the snow. “Thank you,” he said simply, his voice uncertain but sincere. Daniel gave a quiet nod, eyes soft but steady. Mark paused, then added, “I was wrong that day…tired or not, I shouldn’t have yelled. I’m truly sorry about the roses, and everything.” Daniel’s gaze softened further. That evening, Mark’s wife brought over dumplings; Daniel’s wife returned the gesture with slices of cake. The snow kept falling, but between the two homes, warmth had quietly returned—built not by words, but by forgiveness and shared kindness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了马克和丹尼尔是关系亲密的邻居,然而,马克建新花园棚屋时,施工队将材料危险地堆放在丹尼尔家附近,丹尼尔提醒无果。一场夏日风暴将木材吹倒,毁坏了丹尼尔妻子的玫瑰花丛,双方发生激烈争吵,友谊出现裂痕。直到冬天,丹尼尔看到马克坐轮椅且腿部打石膏,当晚又下起大雪,次日马克因腿伤无法清理车道,而丹尼尔注意到他家车道仍被积雪覆盖。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“马克和他的家人面前出现了一条积雪清理过的车道。”可知,第二段可描写丹尼尔帮马克家清理完车道积雪后,两人之间矛盾化解、重归于好,以及两家关系恢复温暖的过程

When I arrived in Hefei, I was greeted by a familial curiosity that comes with my mixed background: Brazilian born with a mother who carries the rich traditions of Luxembourg and Germany, and a father with values rooted in the cultures of Italy and Portugal, making me a natural global citizen who respects and explores diverse cultures. This city, where ancient traditions meet modern inventions, absorbs me, mirroring my inner thirst for balance.
Since my childhood, China has stimulated my imagination. My father told bedtime stories of Marco Polo’s Asian adventures, especially in China, and these stories excited my curiosity, making me eager to explore this ancient and mysterious (神秘的) land with a history of over 5,000 years. I chose Hefei for its rich history and welcoming nature, which remind me of my parents’ stories. It feels like home, a piece in the global cultural puzzle (拼图游戏).
In China, I was struck by the warmth of the people. Everywhere I go, I’m met with smiles and offers of help, children approaching me, greeting me with excitement and eager to chat in English. This simple, sincere friendliness has made me feel incredibly connected to this place.
Now, as a teacher in Hefei, I share my passion for learning with students from 33 different countries. It’s magical to be both a teacher and a lifelong student in China. Every day, I learn from the wisdom of ancient traditions or the fresh outlooks of my students. The Chinese’s eagerness to learn and respect for knowledge inspire me.
Most importantly, living here has allowed me to accept my identity as a global citizen fully. I feel connected to the world through shared human experiences beyond borders, and each interaction is an opportunity to enrich my life’s story. Settling into Hefei, I’m filled with admiration and respect for Chinese culture and traditions, feeling it’s a privilege (荣幸) to live in a place that offers new insights and experiences every day!

Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree.
Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin (催产素), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive contagious fear in fish.
In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank. Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers.
In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly, researchers say, even trying to comfort them.
Finally, the researchers dissected (解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy.
The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research.

A. Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution.
B. Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish.
C. Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution.

9. What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study?
A. It enhances their swimming speed.

C. It helps them detect predators faster.
D. It reduces their need for social interaction.
10. How did the researchers reach their conclusion?
A. By analyzing data. B. By making comparisons.

D
While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there’s insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.
Urban planners Lila Chen and Ryan Moore are deeply troubled by such issues. In their newly released book Green Living: Reclaim Our Cities’ Natural Spaces, they call for a fundamental rethinking of urban design and the role greenery should play in our daily lives.
The landscape of urban living began to shift decades ago. Vast areas of natural vegetation were cleared to make room for sprawling concrete structures and commercial centers, forcing residents to seek nature in distant suburbs. Some grassroots groups fought back. Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetlands area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.
Although these initiatives gained public attention, the harsh reality is that the majority of modern cities remain overwhelmingly dominated by urban development at the expense of green spaces. The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.
We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation? The authors of Green Living are spot-on: it’s high time we re-evaluate the urban landscapes right outside our homes.
12. What phenomenon does the author highlight in paragraph 1?
A. Urban commuting has become overly dependent on technology.
B. The reduction of urban green spaces leads to lifestyle changes.
C. Virtual entertainment is replacing outdoor activities completely.
D. Residents in densely populated areas have limited access to jobs.
13. What were the Seattle community organizer and other activists attempting to achieve?
A. Expand commercial development in urban areas.
B. Relocate residents to distant suburbs with more greenery.
C. Safeguard urban natural spaces for a balanced lifestyle.
D. Promote the construction of more shopping malls in wetlands.
14. What can be inferred about the initiatives in California in the 2010s?
A. They successfully increased the ratio of urban green spaces.
B. They failed to reverse the trend of shrinking green areas.
C. They led to a surge in environmental protection donations.
D. They resulted in the closure of all commercial construction projects.
15. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?
A. Urban Rush: Sacrificing Nature? B. Tech Advance: A Double-edged Sword?
C. Green Spaces: A Luxury or Necessity? D. Community Activism: A Lost Cause?

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。
Mark and Daniel were next-door neighbors. Every summer, the two families held backyard barbecues together, with Mark bringing homemade dumplings and Daniel’s wife preparing her famous cakes. During holidays, they exchanged small but thoughtful gifts.
One June, Mark began building a new garden shed to store his tools. He hired a construction team that worked quickly but not carefully. Large wooden boards and sharp nails were piled dangerously close to Daniel’s fence. Daniel noticed that and warned the workers to be more careful, but the warning was brushed off.
Then it happened. A sudden summer storm hit the town. Strong winds knocked over the pile of wood. The damage to Daniel’s garden was awful—his wife’s prized rose bushes, which she had been nurturing (培育) for over fifteen years, were crushed and destroyed.
She was heartbroken. Failing to comfort her, Daniel stormed over to Mark’s house, demanding an apology and help with the repairs. But Mark, who had just returned from work and was tired and stressed, felt wrongly accused.
“It’s not on purpose,” he said sharply. “You can’t blame me for the weather.”
“But it wouldn’t have happened if your workers had listened!” Daniel argued.
Voices were raised, fingers pointed, and neither side was willing to back down. That day, a long-standing friendship cracked under pressure. From then on, they stopped greeting each other and even avoided eye contact. Days passed. Seasons changed. But the cold silence remained.
Winter came. One day, Daniel caught a glimpse of Mark and noticed he was in a wheelchair with a cast (石膏) on his leg. Daniel hesitated about going over but his feet remained.
A heavy snowstorm quietly arrived that night, blanketing the neighborhood in thick, icy snow. When morning came, driveways were buried, and doors were nearly frozen shut. Men came out of their houses to clear the driveways.
By the window Mark looked at his broken leg and sighed, “My responsibility! But now there’s no chance for me to make it.”
At noon, Daniel noticed Mark’s driveway was still covered with thick snow.
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。
Daniel decided to help.
