One of the first things that struck me about this book is the stunning illustrations that accompany each poem. The colors are soft, adding to the calming messages within the verses (诗). The artwork captures the imagination in such a gentle manner that it’s hard not to feel a sense of calm simply by flipping through the pages. The poems themselves are lyrical, encouraging children to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves just as they are. They celebrate the beauty of being different and remind children that happiness can often be found in the simplest things. Each poem concludes with a clear moral, encouraging children to reflect on all the ways they are truly wonderful and special. This thoughtful approach makes Pineapple Moon and Other Poems for Children not just a collection of bedtime poems, but also leaves an opportunity for meaningful educational discussions over breakfast the next day. This collection is particularly meaningful for quieter kids — those who may feel overlooked or out of place amid the chaos of childhood social interactions. As a parent of special needs children who march to the beat of their own drum, I find the messages of encouragement for timid children to be heart-warming and inspire them to be braver. The themes promote the understanding that standing out is just as important as fitting in, and every child deserves to feel secure and loved for who they are. This book is a remarkable collection full of positive lessons and beautiful illustrations. It’s a book that every parent should consider adding to their nightly reading routine. Not only does it bring joy to children, but it also supports their growth in understanding self-love and appreciation for who they are. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to foster a sense of self-worth and happiness in their children as they head off to dreamland. 4. What impressed the author about the book at first? A. The affordable price. B. The calming messages. C. The well-written poems. D. The appealing artwork. 5. How can the poems in the book be best described? A. Long but imaginative. B. Short but thought-provoking. C. Beautiful and meaningful. D. Common and hard-to-understand. 6 What does Paragraph 4 focus on? A. How to make kids feel secure and loved. B. Why this book is a perfect fit for shy kids. C. How social interactions affect childhood. D. What a parent of special children should do. 7. What is the key message conveyed in the book? A. Embracing your true self. B. Prioritizing sound sleep. C. Showing greater care for others. D. Fostering creativity in children. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Pineapple Moon and Other Poems for Children这一诗集，其有精美插画和优美诗歌，传递接纳自我等积极信息，尤其适合安静孩子，值得家长纳入夜间阅读。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the first things that struck me about this book is the stunning illustrations that accompany each poem. The colors are soft, adding to the calming messages within the verses (诗).(这本书最先吸引我的一件事是每首诗都配有精美的插图。颜色柔和，增添了诗句中平静的信息)”可知，最先吸引作者的是书中精美的插图，也就是有吸引力的艺术作品。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The poems themselves are lyrical, encouraging children to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves just as they are. Each poem concludes with a clear moral, encouraging children to reflect on all the ways they are truly wonderful and special.(这些诗本身富有抒情性，鼓励孩子们接受自己的独特性，爱自己本来的样子。每首诗都以一个明确的寓意结尾，鼓励孩子们反思自己真正精彩和特别的方方面面)”可知，书中的诗既优美又富有意义。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“This collection is particularly meaningful for quieter kids — those who may feel overlooked or out of place amid the chaos of childhood social interactions.(这个诗集对安静的孩子特别有意义——那些在童年社交互动的混乱中可能感到被忽视或格格不入的孩子)”以及后文对这本书如何鼓励内向孩子的描述可知，第四段主要介绍了为什么这本书非常适合害羞的孩子。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The poems themselves are lyrical, encouraging children to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves just as they are.(这些诗本身富有抒情性，鼓励孩子们接受自己的独特性，爱自己本来的样子)”以及第四段“The themes promote the understanding that standing out is just as important as fitting in, and every child deserves to feel secure and loved for who they are.(这些主题促进了这样一种理解：脱颖而出和融入群体同样重要，每个孩子都应该因为自己的本真而感到安全和被爱)”可知，这本书传达的关键信息是接纳真实的自我。故选A。 C The rock group Counting Crows were onto something when they chose their band name. Crows can indeed count, according to a recent research publication. Results show crows have counting capacities near those of human toddlers (学步期儿童), says Diana Liao, a researcher in neurobiology at the University of Tübingen. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows don’t appear to be capable of symbolic counting, in which numbers are associated with a particular symbol. This skill is still thought to be unique to humans. Instead, the birds are able to count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发声) they produce to correspond to associated cues — just like young children who have yet to master symbolic counting often do. Scientists have long suspected that some nonhuman species might also have the ability to count by controlling the number of their vocalizations but lacked evidence. In the new study, Liao and her colleagues ran experiments with three carrion crows in a carefully controlled laboratory setting. They presented the birds with randomly ordered cues, four of which were visual — colored Arabic numbers appearing on a touch screen — and four of which were sound-based, including a guitar tone and a drumroll. The birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each cue. If they got it right, they received a worm. If not, they received a time-out. When the birds made errors, they tended to make errors close to the target number — a phenomenon referred to as the numerical distance effect. After receiving 166 to 189 training sessions, all the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations at a level higher than chance. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist, says the new paper is “excellent”. Counting abilities in birds and mammals represent “a spectacular case of convergent brain evolution (趋同脑进化) where both groups came up with virtually the same solution to cognitive challenges posed by life on Earth. As a result, crows learn, remember, plan, act and make mistakes as toddlers do.” 8. What do the results of the research show about crows? A. Crows use vocalizations to communicate. B. Crows are known for forming rock bands. C. Crows are able to distinguish different quantities. D. Crows rely on visual signals to interpret surroundings. 9. How did Liao and her team conduct the experiment with crows? A. By observing crows in the wild. B. By teaching crows to recognize numbers. C. By comparing crows’ behavior to that of toddlers. D. By training crows through visual and sound clues. 10. What can be inferred from Onur Güntürkün’s explanation? A. Crows show advanced cognitive abilities like other intelligent animals. B. Birds and mammals found varied ways to address cognitive challenges. C. Crows developed their counting skills by interacting with other species. D. Birds and mammals developed similar counting abilities through evolution. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The influence of crows on popular culture is discussed. B. Crows are the first non-human species proven to count. C. Research on crows reveals insights into animal intelligence. D. Exploring animal intelligence is vital for understanding behavior. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现乌鸦具有计数能力，为动物智能研究提供了新见解。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Crows can indeed count, according to a recent research publication. Results show crows have counting capacities near those of human toddlers (学步期儿童), says Diana Liao, a researcher in neurobiology at the University of Tübingen. (根据最近的一项研究成果，乌鸦确实会数数。图宾根大学神经生物学研究员Diana Liao表示，结果显示乌鸦的计数能力接近人类学步期儿童。)”可知，乌鸦能够区分不同的数量，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They presented the birds with randomly ordered cues, four of which were visual — colored Arabic numbers appearing on a touch screen — and four of which were sound-based, including a guitar tone and a drumroll. The birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each cue. If they got it right, they received a worm. If not, they received a time-out. (他们向乌鸦展示随机排列的线索，其中四个是视觉线索（触摸屏上显示的彩色阿拉伯数字），四个是声音线索（包括吉他音色和击鼓节奏）。乌鸦必须确定与每个线索对应的正确鸣叫次数：如果正确，就能得到一条蠕虫；如果错误，则会被暂停实验。)”可知，Liao和她的团队通过视觉和声音线索训练乌鸦进行实验，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Counting abilities in birds and mammals represent “a spectacular case of convergent brain evolution (趋同脑进化) where both groups came up with virtually the same solution to cognitive challenges posed by life on Earth. (鸟类和哺乳动物的计数能力代表了“趋同脑进化的一个惊人案例，在这两个群体中，它们都提出了几乎相同的解决方案来应对地球上生命带来的认知挑战。”)”可知，鸟类和哺乳动物通过进化发展出了相似的计数能力，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段中“Crows can indeed count, according to a recent research publication.

In India, where the education system serves over 250 million students, AI presents both revolutionary opportunities and notable challenges. AI-powered platforms can help a student struggling with math by offering customized practice problems, ensuring no learner is left behind. AI technologies can bridge gaps in education by making learning resources accessible to economically disadvantaged communities. AI can assist teachers in generating content in line with curriculum requirements, saving time and effort. By automating tasks like grading and attendance, AI enables educators to focus more on teaching. Additionally, AI can serve as a virtual assistant to teachers, offering insights into student progress and areas requiring intervention. While AI can enhance education, it requires educators to understand and effectively use these technologies. A lack of teacher training in AI tools can prevent the successful integration of such technologies into the classroom. To exploit the potential of AI in education, India must take a balanced approach such as investing in infrastructure, teacher training, policy support, public-private partnerships and inclusion initiatives. The use of AI in education raises questions about data privacy and security. Ensuring that student data is protected from misuse and breaches (违约) is a significant challenge. Plus, concerns about AI replacing human educators need to be addressed. Traditional mindsets (心态) in education, both among educators and policymakers, can act as a barrier to the adoption of AI. Overcoming this resistance requires widespread awareness and policy-level support. AI has the potential to revolutionize education in India, making it more inclusive, personalized, and future-ready. However, addressing challenges such as the digital divide, affordability, and ethical concerns is essential to ensure its successful adoption. With the right strategy and cooperation, AI can empower India to redefine its education system and equip its youth with the skills needed for the 21st century. 12. What does the author imply about AI in education? A. It helps learners boost productivity. B. It enhances poor regions' economy. C. It inspires teachers to be innovative. D. It makes class administration easier. 13. What does the underlined word "exploit" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Employ. B. Notice. C. Understand. D. Explore. 14. What limits AI's combination with education in India? A. Unpractical teacher training. B. Useless student information. C. Unwillingness to change. D. Unjust social backgrounds. 15. Why should AI be integrated into education? A. To bridge the digital divide. B. To keep pace with the times. C. To reduce costs of education. D. To handle huge uncertainties. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能正在变革印度教育，既通过个性化学习、资源普惠等展现革命性潜力，又面临教师技能、数据安全和传统观念等挑战，需通过系统性策略实现教育升级与未来人才培养。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“By automating tasks like grading and attendance, AI enables educators to focus more on teaching(通过自动化评分和考勤等任务，AI 使教育工作者能够更专注于教学)” 可知，AI 通过简化评分、考勤等管理工作，让班级管理更轻松。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“To exploit  the potential of AI in education, India must take a balanced approach such as investing in infrastructure, teacher training, policy support, public-private partnerships and inclusion initiatives.(为了exploit人工智能在教育领域的潜力，印度必须采取平衡的方法，如投资基础设施、教师培训、政策支持、公私伙伴关系和包容举措)” 可知，印度必须采取一系列措施的目的是利用人工智能在教育领域的潜力。“exploit” 在此意为 “利用”，与 “employ（使用、利用）” 同义。故选 A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Traditional mindsets (心态) in education, both among educators and policymakers, can act as a barrier to the adoption of AI.(教育工作者和政策制定者的传统心态可能成为采用 AI 的障碍)” 可知，保守的观念（不愿改变）限制了 AI 与印度教育的结合。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI has the potential to revolutionize education in India, making it more inclusive, personalized, and future-ready.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】that 【解析】 【详解】考查强调句型。句意：我就是在去年建成的那个体育馆里下班后定期锻炼。本句为强调句结构“It is/was +被强调部分+ that/who +其他”，被强调部分为地点状语，第一个that引导定语从句修饰先行词gym。故用that。 49.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Occupied 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：忙于日常办公任务，她没有时间照顾孩子。此处为非谓语动词作状语，根据“be occupied with”为固定搭配，意为“忙于……”可知，occupy与逻辑主语she之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Occupied。 53. He was desperately eager to be back after more than a week's ________ (absent) from school. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】absence 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：他离校一个多星期以后，回校之心甚切。a week's是名词所有格，其后应用名词，absence是不可数名词。故填absence。 54.

They were as different as night and day-Jack, the older by two years, was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books, his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals. Compared with him, Tom was totally different, full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors. He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball. The differences between them often led to arguments, creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge. One summer, their parents, hoping to mend the growing divide between them, decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. They thought that the fresh mountain air, coupled with outdoor activities, would bring them closer. Unwillingly, the two brothers packed their bags, each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute. But neither did, and soon enough, they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy(顶篷)of twinkling stars, the cool night breeze whispering through the trees. The first few days were tense. They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle, who got to choose the music during meals, and whose turn it was to gather firewood. Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest, breaking the peace that enveloped them. Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn. A sudden storm rolled in. The wind howled through the trees, and rain began to pour. In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet, Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly. Struggling with extreme pain, he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。 Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately. Forgetting their previous disputes, he rushed to Tom’s side, carefully lifting him up and supporting him as they made their way to the medical tent. Inside, Jack gently laid Tom down and helped him apply an ice pack to his injured ankle. Jack’s actions spoke louder than words, showing Tom that despite their differences, he cared deeply for his brother’s well-being. For the first time in a long while, Tom felt a warmth that transcended their disagreements. As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip. They shared responsibilities more evenly, finding joy in tasks they once viewed as burdensome. Jack took charge of navigating through the forest trails while Tom, despite his injury, offered encouragement and moral support. As the days went by, their bond grew stronger, and they realized that despite their contrasting interests, they could still find common ground. By the end of the trip, the gap that once seemed impossible to bridge had narrowed significantly, replaced by a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克和汤姆是两兄弟，杰克是汤姆的哥哥，喜欢安静地读学术书籍，而汤姆充满活力和热情，总是渴望户外活动。他们之间的分歧经常导致争吵，造成似乎无法弥合的鸿沟。一年夏天，他们的父母希望弥合他们之间日益加深的分歧，决定送他们去附近的蓝岭山脉露营。结果在营地里汤姆扭伤了脚踝，杰克及时给予帮助，最终两人也因为这次经历加深了感情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到弟弟处于这样的境地，杰克的心立刻软化了”可知，第一段可描写杰克主动帮助汤姆，汤姆感到温暖。 ②由第二段首句内容“汤姆痊愈后，兄弟俩一起完成了露营之旅”可知，第二段可描写两人的感情得到了加深，对彼此更深层次的理解和欣赏。 2.续写线索：汤姆受伤——杰克帮助——汤姆感到温暖——汤姆痊愈——完成露营之旅——感情深厚 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①争论：dispute/debate ②急忙：rush to/hurry to ③关心：care/concern 情绪类 ①鼓励：encouragement/ stimulation ②欣赏：appreciation /admiration 【点睛】[高分句型1] Forgetting their previous disputes, he rushed to Tom’s side, carefully lifting him up and supporting him as they made their way to the medical tent.

B Pineapple Moon and Other Poems for Children is a delightful collection of poems that offers a comforting bedtime experience, gently guiding young readers into a peaceful night. One of the first things that struck me about this book is the stunning illustrations that accompany each poem. The colors are soft, adding to the calming messages within the verses (诗). The artwork captures the imagination in such a gentle manner that it’s hard not to feel a sense of calm simply by flipping through the pages. The poems themselves are lyrical, encouraging children to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves just as they are. They celebrate the beauty of being different and remind children that happiness can often be found in the simplest things. Each poem concludes with a clear moral, encouraging children to reflect on all the ways they are truly wonderful and special. This thoughtful approach makes Pineapple Moon and Other Poems for Children not just a collection of bedtime poems, but also leaves an opportunity for meaningful educational discussions over breakfast the next day. This collection is particularly meaningful for quieter kids — those who may feel overlooked or out of place amid the chaos of childhood social interactions. As a parent of special needs children who march to the beat of their own drum, I find the messages of encouragement for timid children to be heart-warming and inspire them to be braver. The themes promote the understanding that standing out is just as important as fitting in, and every child deserves to feel secure and loved for who they are. This book is a remarkable collection full of positive lessons and beautiful illustrations. It’s a book that every parent should consider adding to their nightly reading routine. Not only does it bring joy to children, but it also supports their growth in understanding self-love and appreciation for who they are. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to foster a sense of self-worth and happiness in their children as they head off to dreamland. 4. What impressed the author about the book at first? A. The affordable price. B. The calming messages. C. The well-written poems. D. The appealing artwork. 5. How can the poems in the book be best described? A. Long but imaginative. B. Short but thought-provoking. C. Beautiful and meaningful. D. Common and hard-to-understand. 6. What does Paragraph 4 focus on? A. How to make kids feel secure and loved. B. Why this book is a perfect fit for shy kids. C. How social interactions affect childhood. D. What a parent of special children should do. 7. What is the key message conveyed in the book? A. Embracing your true self. B. Prioritizing sound sleep. C. Showing greater care for others. D. Fostering creativity in children. C The rock group Counting Crows were onto something when they chose their band name. Crows can indeed count, according to a recent research publication. Results show crows have counting capacities near those of human toddlers (学步期儿童), says Diana Liao, a researcher in neurobiology at the University of Tübingen. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows don’t appear to be capable of symbolic counting, in which numbers are associated with a particular symbol. This skill is still thought to be unique to humans. Instead, the birds are able to count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发声) they produce to correspond to associated cues — just like young children who have yet to master symbolic counting often do. Scientists have long suspected that some nonhuman species might also have the ability to count by controlling the number of their vocalizations but lacked evidence. In the new study, Liao and her colleagues ran experiments with three carrion crows in a carefully controlled laboratory setting. They presented the birds with randomly ordered cues, four of which were visual — colored Arabic numbers appearing on a touch screen — and four of which were sound-based, including a guitar tone and a drumroll. The birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each cue. If they got it right, they received a worm. If not, they received a time-out. When the birds made errors, they tended to make errors close to the target number — a phenomenon referred to as the numerical distance effect. After receiving 166 to 189 training sessions, all the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations at a level higher than chance. Onur Güntürkün a biopsychologist, says the new paper is “excellent”. Counting abilities in birds and mammals represent “a spectacular case of convergent brain evolution (趋同脑进化) where both groups came up with virtually the same solution to cognitive challenges posed by life on Earth. As a result, crows learn, remember, plan, act and make mistakes as toddlers do.” 8. What do the results of the research show about crows? A. Crows use vocalizations to communicate. B. Crows are known for forming rock bands. C. Crows are able to distinguish different quantities. D. Crows rely on visual signals to interpret surroundings. 9. How did Liao and her team conduct the experiment with crows? A. By observing crows in the wild. B. By teaching crows to recognize numbers. C. By comparing crows’ behavior to that of toddlers. D. By training crows through visual and sound clues. 10. What can be inferred from Onur Güntürkün’s explanation? A. Crows show advanced cognitive abilities like other intelligent animals. B. Birds and mammals found varied ways to address cognitive challenges. C. Crows developed their counting skills by interacting with other species. D. Birds and mammals developed similar counting abilities through evolution. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The influence of crows on popular culture is discussed. B. Crows are the first non-human species proven to count. C. Research on crows reveals insights into animal intelligence. D. Exploring animal intelligence is vital for understanding behavior. D Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing numerous industries worldwide, and education is no exception. In India, where the education system serves over 250 million students, AI presents both revolutionary opportunities and notable challenges. AI-powered platforms can help a student struggling with math by offering customized practice problems, ensuring no learner is left behind. AI technologies can bridge gaps in education by making learning resources accessible to economically disadvantaged communities. AI can assist teachers in generating content in line with curriculum requirements, saving time and effort. By automating tasks like grading and attendance, AI enables educators to focus more on teaching. Additionally, AI can serve as a virtual assistant to teachers, offering insights into student progress and areas requiring intervention. While AI can enhance education, it requires educators to understand and effectively use these technologies. A lack of teacher training in AI tools can prevent the successful integration of such technologies into the classroom. To exploit the potential of AI in education, India must take a balanced approach such as investing in infrastructure, teacher training, policy support, public-private partnerships and inclusion initiatives. The use of AI in education raises questions about data privacy and security. Ensuring that student data is protected from misuse and breaches (违约) is a significant challenge. Plus, concerns about AI replacing human educators need to be addressed. Traditional mindsets (心态) in education, both among educators and policymakers, can act as a barrier to the adoption of AI. Overcoming this resistance requires widespread awareness and policy-level support. AI has the potential to revolutionize education in India, making it more inclusive, personalized, and future-ready. However, addressing challenges such as the digital divide, affordability, and ethical concerns is essential to ensure its successful adoption. With the right strategy and cooperation, AI can empower India to redefine its education system and equip its youth with the skills needed for the 21st century. 12. What does the author imply about AI in education? A. It helps learners boost productivity. B. It enhances poor regions' economy. C. It inspires teachers to be innovative. D. It makes class administration easier. 13. What does the underlined word "exploit" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Employ. B. Notice. C. Understand. D. Explore. 14. What limits AI's combination with education in India? A. Unpractical teacher training. B. Useless student information. C. Unwillingness to change. D. Unjust social backgrounds. 15. Why should AI be integrated into education? A. To bridge the digital divide. B. To keep pace with the times. C. To reduce costs of education. D. To handle huge uncertainties. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls; what matters is how you tackle each situation.

They were as different as night and day-Jack, the older by two years, was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books, his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals. Compared with him, Tom was totally different, full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors. He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball. The differences between them often led to arguments, creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge. One summer, their parents, hoping to mend the growing divide between them, decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. They thought that the fresh mountain air, coupled with outdoor activities, would bring them closer. Unwillingly, the two brothers packed their bags, each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute. But neither did, and soon enough, they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy(顶篷)of twinkling stars, the cool night breeze whispering through the trees. The first few days were tense. They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle, who got to choose the music during meals, and whose turn it was to gather firewood. Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest, breaking the peace that enveloped them. Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn. A sudden storm rolled in. The wind howled through the trees, and rain began to pour. In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet, Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly. Struggling with extreme pain, he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。 Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
