What you’ll learn
Part 1
In this part, we walk through the history of sustainable development.
Part 2
The next step is to create Sustainable Development Plans at the country level. These strategies are essentially backcasting exercises that use the SDGs as an end point from which to plan backwards to the current day and that carefully contextualize the SDGs for the country in question.
Part 3
The achievement of the SDGs depends heavily on the application of innovative and modern thinking and technologies. This is particularly critical for challenges such as the decarbonization of the economy to reduce the effects of climate change.
Part 4
Global cooperation is critical to achieve the SDGs. In particular, cities have a critical role in pioneering Sustainable Development planning in collectively contributing to the ambition of sustainable development.
Part 5
The SDGs are not an agenda for policy makers alone. The world’s economic activity, knowledge generation, and investment are mostly driven by an efficient private sector (部门).And while you cannot have a strong private sector without an effective and structured public sector, businesses must make contributions to sustainable development.
Part 6
Universities around the world, which serve as centers of innovation, are fundamental to the Sustainable Development Agenda and share a core responsibility in advancing the agenda in their respective countries.

In his studio, Sam Winston is experimenting with inks out of tobacco from Marlboro cigarettes, the juice of Belarusian chokeberries and a strange hybrid of eyeliner.
The colored substances are used to create words on giant flags that will soon hang from the ceiling of London’s Barbican Centre during Voiced, Britain’s first arts festival celebrating minority and endangered languages — connecting five poets’ native languages with materials from their native landscapes. Quebec-born writer Norma Dunning’s flag will bear the word C’s b, or “veins” in Canadian syllabics (音节), made out of wild blueberries from her hometown.
Winston has been playing with language in his art for many years, including using Egyptian hieroglyphs (象形文字) in his picture book One and Everything. Winston acknowledges the sense of urgency and loss — every two weeks, another language falls silent and by the end of this century, half of the world’s 7,000 languages are expected to become extinct.
Winston grew up in Devon, Wales and Yorkshire as a dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) boy. “My experience of not being able to communicate what’s important to me, even in English, made me sympathetic to a situation where Hawad, one of the five poets, a Tamajaght-speaking artist from the Air region of Niger, cannot share his language and his culture in a way that is supported by anyone beyond this small community. That made me realize that it’s really important to create spaces and say these voices matter.”
Some still favor the prospect of a single universal language. Not Winston. “If we only have one paintbrush to paint with, and only one color to paint in, that, from an artistic perspective, is a disaster,” Winston says. “Language is an expression of being human, and that’s at the core of the festival. You can turn up and learn about a lot of diverse cultures.”
4. Why is Winston experimenting with inks?
A. To promote produce from his hometown.
B. To learn five famous poets’ native languages.
C. To write his picture book One and Everything.
D. To prepare for a language-themed arts festival.
5. What is stressed in paragraph 3?
A. Language crises. B. Language accessibility.
C. Causes of language barriers. D. Popular language types.
6. What enabled Winston to understand Hawad’s situation?
A. His excellence in English. B. His childhood experience.
C. His capability to write poems. D. His memory of living in Niger.
7. Which statement does Winston agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Artists should stick to traditional tools. B. A single universal language is necessary.
C. Human language should feature diversity. D. Artworks are more expressive than language.
C
One of the major environmental issues throughout the world is the ever-growing landfills, but the city of Petaluma in California has done its part. Instead of banning disposable (一次性的) drink cups, the city provided reusable cups to the businesses to give to the customers and the customers would put their used cups in special bins that are spread throughout the city. The cups would be collected from the bins, washed, and given back to the businesses again.
Americans throw out 16 billion paper cups and 25 billion Styrofoam (聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料) cups per year. Considering that 6.5 million trees are cut just for paper cups annually, and that plastic takes about 500 years to break down, finding a viable alternative to disposable cups can make a significant difference in environmental impact.
According to the researchers’ report, more than 80% of Petaluma’s residents were aware of the cup project and knew what to do. In fact, more than 51% of the cups were returned and not thrown into the trash.
The project was welcomed by citizens as they didn’t need to sign up for it or pay any deposit (押金), and weren’t punished for non-participation. This is promising considering that other environmental measures in other cities, such as public bike-sharing programs, are often abused or subject to theft at taxpayer expense. It would be easy to store cups or to just throw them out with the rest of their trash. It is also beneficial for local restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops to participate as they would purchase fewer disposable cups, significantly reducing costs.
While the experiment is over, the results are so positive that the city and their partners intend on launching a permanent campaign with enthusiastic support from most of the local businesses. This situation shows that there are solutions that can improve the lives of the community, the consumers, and even the businesses should folks come together to think and approach new ideas with curiosity, enthusiasm, and trust.
8. How did Petaluma try to reduce landfills?
A. By charging consumers for using cups. B. By limiting the expansion of businesses.
C. By encouraging the use of reusable cups. D. By issuing a ban on disposable cups.
9. What does the data in paragraph 2 mainly show?
A. More trees should be planted in the future.
B. Americans prefer paper cups to plastic ones.
C. Disposable cups do harm to the environment.
D. It takes a long time for paper cups to break down.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Joint efforts to carry out the project. B. Why the project was widely supported.
C. How the project benefited local residents. D. Financial challenges brought by the project.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Petaluma’s project?
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
D
Technology has reshaped our world in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago. We have seen amazing breakthroughs in areas like medicine, communication, and artificial intelligence (AI). But this power has come with its own set of risks and moral challenges.
One of the most pressing ethical (伦理上的) concerns in the modern age is the rise of AI, which has permeated (渗透) almost every industry, from healthcare to finance, to self-driving cars. It promises to revolutionize the world in ways that could benefit humanity — from curing diseases to solving complex global problems. But alongside these possibilities, AI also brings significant risks, many of which have ethical implications.
One primary concern with AI is the question of decision-making. As AI systems become more advanced, they are increasingly entrusted with making decisions that impact human lives. For example, AI is used in autonomous vehicles, which are expected to make split-second decisions in emergency situations. If an accident is unavoidable, should the AI prioritize the safety of its passengers, pedestrians (行人), or the greater good? These are questions with no easy answers, as they raise issues of morality, accountability, and fairness.
Besides, there are concerns about AI’s potential to replace human labor. Automation powered by AI could lead to mass unemployment and deepen societal inequalities. While automation promises to make processes more efficient and reduce costs, it raises an ethical question of whether it is just to allow machines to replace human workers, particularly in industries where jobs are already not enough.
The most chilling ethical issue surrounding AI is the possibility of creating systems that can act with complete autonomy, without human intervention. Some argue that this could lead to the creation of “superintelligent” AI that could surpass human intelligence, potentially posing an existential threat to humanity.
While technological advancement is essential for progress, it must not come at the expense of human values and ethical principles. Governments, corporations, and individuals all have roles to play in ensuring that technology is developed and employed in an ethical manner.
12. How does the author show the concern with AI in paragraph 3?
A. By listing an example. B. By quoting AI experts.
C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to historical data.
13. Why is AI-powered automation worrying?
A. It makes processes complex. B. It may threaten people’s jobs.
C. It blocks industries’ innovation. D. It creates a less competitive society.
14. What does the underlined word “chilling” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Amusing. B. Simplified. C. Unknown. D. Frightening.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To provide solutions to problems caused by AI.
B. To show how AI affects our daily life in a positive way.
C. To remind us to slow down the development of technology.
D. To warn us of moral concerns with technological advancement.

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。
Darcy and Laura Clarke run Bentley’s Burgers and Fries in West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, Canada. One afternoon in early December, Darcy answered a phone call from a man named Robert Miller, who spoke with a southern accent. Robert ordered two cheeseburgers and fries, promising to pick up the food within an hour.
Darcy prepared the food with care and wrapped it neatly. Then he waited for Robert to collect the food. The minutes ticked by and then an hour passed, but Robert never arrived. Eventually, the Clarkes gave the food to a regular customer for free who had just walked in and moved on with their day. By the end of the day, Robert still didn’t show up. The Clarkes assumed that Robert was simply a tourist who had changed his plan — a common occurrence in their coastal town.
What the couple didn’t know was Robert’s side of the story. Back in Alabama, USA, Robert had realized his mistake too late: He had searched for “Bentley’s” online and called the first number he saw, not realizing it belonged to a small Canadian seaside town thousands of kilometers away, rather than the diner near his home. Embarrassed and frustrated (沮丧) with his own error, he spent the day restlessly, unsure how to make things right. He felt responsible for wasting the restaurant owners’ food and time. Finally, instead of making another call to just apologize, Robert decided to deal with the incident in a heart-warming way.
Days went by. The Clarkes continued their daily routine in their restaurant, serving regulars and answering phone calls from tourists coming to this town. Robert’s forgotten order had slipped entirely from their minds, buried under the rhythm of frying potatoes and grilling burgers.
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。
However, one morning, as Laura sorted through the mail, a handwritten envelope stood out.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Touched by Robert’s integrity and kindness, the Clarkes decided to respond in a similar way.

Winston has been playing with language in his art for many years, including using Egyptian hieroglyphs (象形文字) in his picture book One and Everything. Winston acknowledges the sense of urgency and loss — every two weeks, another language falls silent and by the end of this century, half of the world’s 7,000 languages are expected to become extinct.
Winston grew up in Devon, Wales and Yorkshire as a dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) boy. “My experience of not being able to communicate what’s important to me, even in English, made me sympathetic to a situation where Hawad, one of the five poets, a Tamajaght-speaking artist from the Air region of Niger, cannot share his language and his culture in a way that is supported by anyone beyond this small community. That made me realize that it’s really important to create spaces and say these voices matter.”
Some still favor the prospect of a single universal language. Not Winston. “If we only have one paintbrush to paint with, and only one color to paint in, that, from an artistic perspective, is a disaster,” Winston says. “Language is an expression of being human, and that’s at the core of the festival. You can turn up and learn about a lot of diverse cultures.”
4. Why is Winston experimenting with inks?
A. To promote produce from his hometown.
B. To learn five famous poets’ native languages.
C. To write his picture book One and Everything.
D. To prepare for a language-themed arts festival.
5. What is stressed in paragraph 3?
A. Language crises. B. Language accessibility.
C. Causes of language barriers. D. Popular language types.
6. What enabled Winston to understand Hawad’s situation?
A. His excellence in English. B. His childhood experience.
C. His capability to write poems. D. His memory of living in Niger.
7. Which statement does Winston agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Artists should stick to traditional tools. B. A single universal language is necessary.
C. Human language should feature diversity. D. Artworks are more expressive than language.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The colored substances are used to create words on giant flags that will soon hang from the ceiling of London’s Barbican Centre during Voiced, Britain’s first arts festival celebrating minority and endangered languages — connecting five poets’ native languages with materials from their native landscapes.(这些有色物质将被用来在巨大的旗帜上创作文字,这些旗帜很快将在伦敦巴比肯中心的天花板上悬挂,届时将举办英国首个庆祝少数民族和濒危语言的艺术节——将五位诗人的母语与他们家乡的材料联系起来)”可知,Winston实验墨水是为了为一个语言主题的艺术节做准备。故选D项。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Winston acknowledges the sense of urgency and loss — every two weeks, another language falls silent and by the end of this century, half of the world’s 7,000 languages are expected to become extinct.(Winston承认这种紧迫感和失落感——每两周就有一种语言消失,到本世纪末,世界上7000种语言中预计有一半会灭绝)”可知,第三段重点强调了语言危机。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Winston grew up in Devon, Wales and Yorkshire as a dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) boy. “My experience of not being able to communicate what’s important to me, even in English, made me sympathetic to a situation where Hawad, one of the five poets, a Tamajaght-speaking artist from the Air region of Niger, cannot share his language and his culture in a way that is supported by anyone beyond this small community. That made me realize that it’s really important to create spaces and say these voices matter.”(温斯顿在德文郡、威尔士和约克郡长大,是一个有阅读障碍的男孩。‘我甚至用英语都无法表达对我来说重要的事情,这种经历让我对五位诗人之一、来自尼日尔艾尔地区的讲塔马贾特语的艺术家Hawad的处境产生了同情,他无法以一种得到这个小社区之外任何人支持的方式分享他的语言和文化.这让我意识到,创造空间,说出这些声音很重要,这真的很重要。’)”可知,Winston的童年经历(有阅读障碍,无法顺利表达自己)让他理解了Hawad的处境。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some still favor the prospect of a single universal language. Not Winston. If we only have one paintbrush to paint with, and only one color to paint in, that, from an artistic perspective, is a disaster,” Winston says. “Language is an expression of being human, and that’s at the core of the festival. You can turn up and learn about a lot of diverse cultures.(有些人仍然看好单一通用语言的前景。但温斯顿不这么认为。‘如果我们只有一支画笔,只有一种颜色可以绘画,从艺术的角度来说,这是一场灾难。’Winston说:‘语言是人类存在的一种表达,这也是这个节日的核心。你可以来这里了解很多不同的文化。’)”可知,Winston认为人类语言应该具有多样性。故选C项。
C
One of the major environmental issues throughout the world is the ever-growing landfills, but the city of Petaluma in California has done its part. Instead of banning disposable (一次性的) drink cups, the city provided reusable cups to the businesses to give to the customers and the customers would put their used cups in special bins that are spread throughout the city. The cups would be collected from the bins, washed, and given back to the businesses again.
Americans throw out 16 billion paper cups and 25 billion Styrofoam (聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料) cups per year. Considering that 6.5 million trees are cut just for paper cups annually, and that plastic takes about 500 years to break down, finding a viable alternative to disposable cups can make a significant difference in environmental impact.
According to the researchers’ report, more than 80% of Petaluma’s residents were aware of the cup project and knew what to do. In fact, more than 51% of the cups were returned and not thrown into the trash.
The project was welcomed by citizens as they didn’t need to sign up for it or pay any deposit (押金), and weren’t punished for non-participation. This is promising considering that other environmental measures in other cities, such as public bike-sharing programs, are often abused or subject to theft at taxpayer expense. It would be easy to store cups or to just throw them out with the rest of their trash. It is also beneficial for local restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops to participate as they would purchase fewer disposable cups, significantly reducing costs.
While the experiment is over, the results are so positive that the city and their partners intend on launching a permanent campaign with enthusiastic support from most of the local businesses. This situation shows that there are solutions that can improve the lives of the community, the consumers, and even the businesses should folks come together to think and approach new ideas with curiosity, enthusiasm, and trust.
8. How did Petaluma try to reduce landfills?
A. By charging consumers for using cups. B. By limiting the expansion of businesses.
C. By encouraging the use of reusable cups. D. By issuing a ban on disposable cups.
9. What does the data in paragraph 2 mainly show?
A. More trees should be planted in the future.
B. Americans prefer paper cups to plastic ones.
C. Disposable cups do harm to the environment.
D. It takes a long time for paper cups to break down.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Joint efforts to carry out the project. B. Why the project was widely supported.
C. How the project benefited local residents. D. Financial challenges brought by the project.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Petaluma’s project?
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A

Technology has reshaped our world in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago. We have seen amazing breakthroughs in areas like medicine, communication, and artificial intelligence (AI). But this power has come with its own set of risks and moral challenges.
One of the most pressing ethical (伦理上的) concerns in the modern age is the rise of AI, which has permeated (渗透) almost every industry, from healthcare to finance, to self-driving cars. It promises to revolutionize the world in ways that could benefit humanity — from curing diseases to solving complex global problems. But alongside these possibilities, AI also brings significant risks, many of which have ethical implications.
One primary concern with AI is the question of decision-making. As AI systems become more advanced, they are increasingly entrusted with making decisions that impact human lives. For example, AI is used in autonomous vehicles, which are expected to make split-second decisions in emergency situations. If an accident is unavoidable, should the AI prioritize the safety of its passengers, pedestrians (行人), or the greater good? These are questions with no easy answers, as they raise issues of morality, accountability, and fairness.
Besides, there are concerns about AI’s potential to replace human labor. Automation powered by AI could lead to mass unemployment and deepen societal inequalities. While automation promises to make processes more efficient and reduce costs, it raises an ethical question of whether it is just to allow machines to replace human workers, particularly in industries where jobs are already not enough.
The most chilling ethical issue surrounding AI is the possibility of creating systems that can act with complete autonomy, without human intervention. Some argue that this could lead to the creation of “superintelligent” AI that could surpass human intelligence, potentially posing an existential threat to humanity.
While technological advancement is essential for progress, it must not come at the expense of human values and ethical principles. Governments, corporations, and individuals all have roles to play in ensuring that technology is developed and employed in an ethical manner.
12. How does the author show the concern with AI in paragraph 3?
A. By listing an example. B. By quoting AI experts.
C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to historical data.
13. Why is AI-powered automation worrying?
A. It makes processes complex. B. It may threaten people’s jobs.
C. It blocks industries’ innovation. D. It creates a less competitive society.
14. What does the underlined word “chilling” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Amusing. B. Simplified. C. Unknown. D. Frightening.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To provide solutions to problems caused by AI.
B. To show how AI affects our daily life in a positive way.
C. To remind us to slow down the development of technology.
D. To warn us of moral concerns with technological advancement.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能发展带来的伦理问题,包括决策、就业威胁及自主系统对人类的潜在威胁。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“One primary concern with AI is the question of decision-making. As AI systems become more advanced, they are increasingly entrusted with making decisions that impact human lives. For example, AI is used in autonomous vehicles, which are expected to make split-second decisions in emergency situations. If an accident is unavoidable, should the AI prioritize the safety of its passengers, pedestrians (行人), or the greater good? These are questions with no easy answers, as they raise issues of morality, accountability, and fairness.(首要争议,在于人工智能的决策权限。随着系统愈发先进,越来越多关乎人命的抉择被交由AI处理。比如自动驾驶车辆,需要在紧急瞬间做出判断。倘若事故无可避免,AI该优先保护车内乘客、路边行人,还是追求整体利益最大化?这类问题没有标准答案,牵扯道德取舍、责任界定与公平原则。)”可知,作者通过举例说明了对人工智能的担忧。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Besides, there are concerns about AI’s potential to replace human labor. Automation powered by AI could lead to mass unemployment and deepen societal inequalities.(此外,人们还担心人工智能有取代人类劳动力的潜力。由人工智能驱动的自动化可能导致大规模失业,加剧社会不平等。)”可知,人工智能驱动的自动化令人担忧是因为它可能威胁到人们的工作。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The most chilling ethical issue surrounding AI is the possibility of creating systems that can act with complete autonomy, without human intervention. Some argue that this could lead to the creation of “superintelligent” AI that could surpass human intelligence, potentially posing an existential threat to humanity.(最chilling的伦理隐患,是未来或将出现完全自主运作、无需人类干预的智能系统。有人认为,这可能催生超越人类智慧的 “超级人工智能”,甚至给整个人类带来生存威胁。)”可知,人工智能最令人担忧的伦理问题是创造出完全自主、无需人类干预的系统,这可能会对人类构成生存威胁,因此chilling意为“令人恐惧的”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段中“While technological advancement is essential for progress, it must not come at the expense of human values and ethical principles.(虽然技术进步对发展至关重要,但它不能以牺牲人类价值观和伦理原则为代价。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是警告我们技术进步带来的道德问题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了台州古城文化旅游区被列为浙江省国际文化交流基地,以及其历史文化、特色美食和接待设施等情况。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:台州古城占地3.12平方公里,居住着28000名本土居民,它以丰富真实的古城生活为傲,同时保护着老街和文化遗产。此处为定语从句的谓语动词,先行词The Ancient City of Taizhou为单数,且全文时态为一般现在时,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填houses。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:台州古城占地3.12平方公里,居住着28000名本土居民,它以丰富真实的古城生活为傲,同时保护着老街和文化遗产。空处用非谓语动词和while构成状语,主语The Ancient City of Taizhou和preserve为主动关系,应用现在分词。故填preserving。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:其深厚的历史和文化底蕴吸引了国际游客,其中大多数人都对东湖的风景之美、城墙的宏伟以及紫阳街的传统建筑惊叹不已。根据空前的形容词cultural可知,此处应填名词,depth意为“深度、底蕴”,抽象概念,为不可数名词。故填depth。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:其深厚的历史和文化底蕴吸引了国际游客,其中大多数人都对东湖的风景之美、城墙的宏伟以及紫阳街的传统建筑惊叹不已。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为international tourists,指人,且在从句中作介词of的宾语,所以用关系代词whom。故填whom。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:该地区还以两项国家级非物质文化遗产、11座博物馆、6个非物质文化遗产展厅和8个文化展示厅而闻名。item为可数名词,根据空前的数词two可知,此处应用复数形式。故填items。
【41题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:美食进一步增强了它的魅力 —— 像新荣记这样的知名餐厅提供各种各样的海鲜口味,街头小摊则提供海苔饼等特色美食。此处修饰动词enhance,应用副词,且结合语境,此处表示“进一步”,所以用far的比较级further。故填further。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:美食进一步增强了它的魅力 —— 像新荣记这样的知名餐厅提供各种各样的海鲜口味,街头小摊则提供海苔饼等特色美食。a variety of为固定搭配,意为“各种各样的”,符合语境。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该地区的标识,尤其是路标和广告牌,均配有中、英、日、韩四种语言翻译,旨在满足不同游客群体的需求。aim to do sth为固定搭配,意为“旨在做某事”。故填to satisfy。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:凭借一支由51名导游组成的团队,包括熟练的翻译和专业导游,台州古城已做好充分准备,迎接国内外游客,改善他们在这个文化之地的体验。结合句意,此处表示“凭借、依靠”,应用介词with,位于句首首字母大写。故填With。
【45题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:凭借一支由51名导游组成的团队,包括熟练的翻译和专业导游,台州古城已做好充分准备,迎接国内外游客,改善他们在这个文化之地的体验。此处修饰名词experience,应用形容词性物主代词,they的形容词性物主代词为their。故填their。

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。
Darcy and Laura Clarke run Bentley’s Burgers and Fries in West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, Canada. One afternoon in early December, Darcy answered a phone call from a man named Robert Miller, who spoke with a southern accent. Robert ordered two cheeseburgers and fries, promising to pick up the food within an hour.
Darcy prepared the food with care and wrapped it neatly. Then he waited for Robert to collect the food. The minutes ticked by and then an hour passed, but Robert never arrived. Eventually, the Clarkes gave the food to a regular customer for free who had just walked in and moved on with their day. By the end of the day, Robert still didn’t show up. The Clarkes assumed that Robert was simply a tourist who had changed his plan — a common occurrence in their coastal town.
What the couple didn’t know was Robert’s side of the story. Back in Alabama, USA, Robert had realized his mistake too late: He had searched for “Bentley’s” online and called the first number he saw, not realizing it belonged to a small Canadian seaside town thousands of kilometers away, rather than the diner near his home. Embarrassed and frustrated (沮丧) with his own error, he spent the day restlessly, unsure how to make things right. He felt responsible for wasting the restaurant owners’ food and time. Finally, instead of making another call to just apologize, Robert decided to deal with the incident in a heart-warming way.
Days went by. The Clarkes continued their daily routine in their restaurant, serving regulars and answering phone calls from tourists coming to this town. Robert’s forgotten order had slipped entirely from their minds, buried under the rhythm of frying potatoes and grilling burgers.
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。
However, one morning, as Laura sorted through the mail, a handwritten envelope stood out.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Touched by Robert’s integrity and kindness, the Clarkes decided to respond in a similar way.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
However, one morning, as Laura sorted through the mail, a handwritten envelope stood out. Postmarked from Alabama, it felt oddly personal. Laura opened it carefully and found a handwritten letter and $40 in U.S. cash. Laura asked Darcy to come over and read the letter together. “Obviously, I called the wrong restaurant,” the letter said, “I hope the amount enclosed is enough to cover the cost of my embarrassing mistake. My sincerest apologies. God bless. Robert Miller from Alabama.” Actually, not only did the money cover the meal, it even left a little extra.
Touched by Robert’s integrity and kindness, the Clarkes decided to respond in a similar way. Darcy immediately began assembling a thank-you package. It included a heartfelt card, several bottles of their signature burger seasoning, and a handwritten note inviting Robert to visit if he ever came to Nova Scotia. Laura even added a gift certificate for a free meal. They mailed the package to the return address that day, hoping that it would convey their gratitude. More importantly, they hoped it could serve as a reminder that kindness has a way of finding its way back.
【解析】
【导语】本文以订餐误会为线索展开。Darcy和Laura这对夫妻经营汉堡店,接到Robert的订餐电话,备好餐后Robert迟迟未取,店家便将食物赠予常客。殊不知Robert远在美国阿拉巴马州,误搜号码打进异国小店,因自己失误满心愧疚,打算用暖心方式弥补这次乌龙事件。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“然而某天早上,Laura整理邮件时,一个手写信封格外显眼。”可知,第一段可以描写Laura打开信封发现信件和现金的动作、心理,以及邀请 Darcy一起读信的场景,最后点明信件内容和现金数额超出餐费的细节。
②由第二段句首内容“Clarke夫妇被Robert的诚信与善意深深打动,决定以同样的方式回应这份温暖。”可知,第二段可以描写夫妇被Robert的真诚善良打动的心理活动,Darcy组装感谢包裹的具体过程(包含的物品、每样物品的心意),Laura添加免费餐券的举动,以及他们邮寄包裹时的期待,最后点出他们希望传递“善意会循环”的初衷。
2.续写线索:Laura整理邮件发现特别信封 —— 打开信封看到信件和现金 —— 邀请Darcy共读信件了解真相 ——Clarkes夫妇被Robert的真诚打动 —— 准备感谢包裹回馈善意 —— 邮寄包裹,传递善意循环的信念
3.词汇激活
行为类
①阅读信件:read the letter/go through the letter
②邮寄包裹:mail the package/send the parcel
③充当:serve as/act as
情绪类
①令人尴尬的 :embarrassing/awkward
②最真诚的道歉:sincerest apologies/heartfelt apologies
【点睛】【高分句型1】It included a heartfelt card, several bottles of their signature burger seasoning, and a handwritten note inviting Robert to visit if he ever came to Nova Scotia. (运用了if引导的条件状语从句)
【高分句型2】They mailed the package to the return address that day, hoping that it would convey their gratitude. (运用了第二个that引导的宾语从句)
