His focus was on math, chemistry and physics. Cesare’s mother is an architect and his father is an electronic engineer. As a child, Cesare became interested in electronics. He loved to experiment. He learned to program computers and equipment like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. He also worked with a 3D printer. After seeing a video about someone building a fusion reactor (核聚变反应堆), Cesare decided he would do something meaningful, too. The school wasn’t so excited about the idea. But Cesare worked to persuade his teachers. Finally, after a complete safety review, and with an extra advisor offering to help out, the school agreed. Cesare was a strong student, but his regular classes weren’t teaching him how to build a fusion reactor. To learn this, he spent countless hours doing research, looking up information on the Internet, and watching videos. He would read, watch 10 or 15 videos, and then try to solve the problem. He also visited a website where he got advice from scientists with more experience. Step by step, working long hours with his physics teacher and his advisor, Cesare built the reactor. Last June, at the very end of the school year, the reactor was finished. Over a year has passed since then, Cesare has continued to improve the reactor. He has built complicated equipment to control the pressure and to better see and understand what’s going on inside the reactor. He’s one of the youngest students to have built such an advanced fusion reactor. But for Cesare, it wasn’t just about the reactor. It was also about learning by doing, and about making connections with other people doing similar things. College is the next stop for Cesare perhaps in England, perhaps in Italy. No matter where he goes, he’ll probably continue to change people’s ideas about how much young people can achieve. 4. What made Cesare decided to build a fusion reactor? A. His interest in videos. B. The inspiration from someone. C. His parents’ influence. D. The support from his school. 5. What do we say about Cesare from paragraph 4? A. He struggled to prepare for the reactor. B. He depended heavily on useful videos. C. He worked with experienced scientists D. He had difficulty in getting information. 6. What is Cesare expected to do in the future? A. Build another reactor. B. Learn new things through the Internet. C. Make greater progress. D. Go to a famous college. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards Cesare’s story? A. Admiring. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了高中生切萨雷·门卡里尼受到他人启发，克服重重困难，自主研究并成功建造核聚变反应堆的故事，展现了他勇于探索、坚持不懈的科学精神。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After seeing a video about someone building a fusion reactor (核聚变反应堆), Cesare decided he would do something meaningful, too. (在看到一段关于某人建造核聚变反应堆的视频后，切萨雷决定他也要做一些有意义的事情。)”可知，切萨雷是受到他人建造核聚变反应堆的启发，才决定自己也建造一个。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Cesare was a strong student, but his regular classes weren’t teaching him how to build a fusion reactor. To learn this, he spent countless hours doing research, looking up information on the Internet, and watching videos. (切萨雷是个优秀的学生，但他的常规课程并没有教他如何建造核聚变反应堆。为了学习这个，他花了无数小时做研究，在网上查找信息，观看视频。)”可知，切萨雷为了准备建造反应堆付出了大量努力，经历了艰辛的学习过程。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No matter where he goes, he’ll probably continue to change people’s ideas about how much young people can achieve. (无论他走到哪里，他可能会继续改变人们对年轻人能取得多大成就的看法。)”可知，作者预期切萨雷未来会继续取得更大的成就，不断突破人们对年轻人能力的认知。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He’s one of the youngest students to have built such an advanced fusion reactor. (他是建造如此先进核聚变反应堆的最年轻的学生之一。)”以及“No matter where he goes, he’ll probably continue to change people’s ideas about how much young people can achieve.

Attracted by the beautiful icy scenery, the number of tourists visiting the country increased by 46% between 2018 and 2023. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the planet, Antarctica is seeing a similar tourism increase. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reports a steady (稳步的) rise in visitors since the 1990s — a dire tourism phenomenon for environmentalists who warn that humans can destroy fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems, influence animal behaviour and bring non-native species with them. The attraction of the polar regions is obvious: the strength of the blue sky on a freezing, sunny day; the excitement of walking on fresh snow; and the unique wildlife that calls these places home. However, as tourism to the poles increases, organisations like the Arctic Council and Visit Greenland stress the need to balance economic benefits with environmental responsibility. James Grecian, an oceanic ecologist, has spent years studying polar wildlife. Last year, he was in Antarctica studying snow petrels (雪鹱) — or more specifically, their vomit (呕吐物). Snow petrels have stomach oil that turns into solid pieces. When scientists study these pieces, they can learn how the petrels’ diet has changed over the years and what that means for the local ecosystem. Grecian explains that by taking samples from the environment or animals, we can learn a lot about past conditions. For example, scientists can collect baleen plates (鲸须板) from dead whales to see what the whales ate and where they lived. Grecian knows how special these places are and how much they are affected. He believes we should act to help protect these important but threatened areas. Polar tourism is growing, but he hopes that with more awareness of its problems, visitors can make better choices. 8. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Amazing. B. Alarming. C. Confusing. D. Misleading. 9. Why does the author mention baleen plates in paragraph 3? A. To explain whale protection practice. B. To share an exploring experience. C. To describe the appearance of whales. D. To show how scientists gather information. 10. Which will Grecian probably agree with? A. Polar tourism should be encouraged. B. Scientists should be more aware of the problems. C. Visitors should be more environmentally responsible. D. Climate change is to blame for the negative changes. 11. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Polar Regions: Beauty and the Wild B. Polar Tour: Popularity and Development C. Polar Tourism: Growth and Concerns D. Polar Wildlife: Protection and Challenges 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了格陵兰岛和南极洲等极地地区旅游业的增长现象，以及这种增长对脆弱生态系统可能带来的负面影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“warn that humans can destroy fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems, influence animal behaviour and bring non-native species with them(警告说，人类会破坏脆弱的生态系统，影响动物的行为，并带来非本地物种)”可知，这种旅游现象是极可怕的，dire意为“极可怕的”，和Alarming意思相近。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Grecian explains that by taking samples from the environment or animals, we can learn a lot about past conditions. For example, scientists can collect baleen plates (鲸须板) from dead whales to see what the whales ate and where they lived.(Grecian解释说，通过对环境或动物进行采样，我们可以了解到很多关于过去状况的信息。例如，科学家可以从死去的鲸鱼身上收集鲸须板，以此来了解这些鲸鱼的食物来源以及它们曾经的生活区域。)”可知，作者在第3段提到鲸须板是为了展示科学家是如何收集信息的。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He believes we should act to help protect these important but threatened areas. Polar tourism is growing, but he hopes that with more awareness of its problems, visitors can make better choices.(他认为我们应该采取行动，帮助保护这些重要但受到威胁的地区。极地旅游正在增长，但他希望随着人们对极地问题的更多认识，游客可以做出更好的选择。)”可知，Grecian可能会同意的观点是游客应该对环境更负责任。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Attracted by the beautiful icy scenery, the number of tourists visiting the country increased by 46% between 2018 and 2023. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the planet, Antarctica is seeing a similar tourism increase. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reports a steady (稳步的) rise in visitors since the 1990s—a dire tourism phenomenon for environmentalists who warn that humans can destroy fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems, influence animal behaviour and bring non-native species with them.(受美丽冰川景色的吸引，在2018年至2023年期间，前往该国旅游的游客数量增长了46%。与此同时，在地球的另一端，南极洲的旅游业也呈现出类似的增长态势。国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）报告称，自20世纪90年代以来，游客数量一直在稳步增长——对于环保人士而言，这是一个严峻的旅游现象，他们警告称，人类可能会破坏脆弱的生态系统、影响动物行为，并携带非本地物种进入这些地区。)”可知，本文主要讲述了格陵兰岛和南极洲等极地地区旅游业的增长现象，以及这种增长对脆弱生态系统可能带来的负面影响，因此最恰当的标题是C选项“Polar Tourism: Growth and Concerns(极地旅游：增长与担忧)”。故选C。 D On a recent trip through the Himalayas, my bruises (淤伤) became the truest souvenirs. More personal than anything bought, they carry a unique memory. Over time, my desire for special souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that's just me. Two out of three Americans bring back a souvenir from their travels, with US sales topping $21billion in 2022. Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India. Travelers today are more aware of their effect on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often ignored. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as “local” are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes (最小化) the profit of the traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), creating a negative cycle. So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs? “Be curious... it’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about refusing and explaining why,” said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade market helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders. Eventually, there’s no universal rule for “meaningful” souvenir. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect. 12. What changed the author’s view on souvenirs? A. A search for adventures. B. A desire for experiences. C. Fear of physical injuries. D. Changes in life stages. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The rise of tourism. B. The mental need for souvenirs. C. The importance of modern tourism. D. The increasing popularity of souvenirs. 14. What is the result of the negative cycle in paragraph 3? A. Tourism becomes more profitable. B. Local sellers gain long-term benefits. C. Traditional handicrafts lose the market. D. Souvenir design becomes unique. 15. What does the author suggest about buying meaningful souvenirs? A. Picking timeless common designs. B. Following your own shopping habits. C. Choosing intention instead of convenience. D. Considering convenience rather than uniqueness. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了旅游纪念品的意义、存在的问题以及如何购买有意义的纪念品，引导读者反思消费观念，重视旅行体验而非物质收集。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Over time, my desire for special souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. (随着时间的推移，我对特别纪念品的渴望逐渐消退；我现在更看重体验而非物品。)”可知，是作者对体验的渴望改变了她对纪念品的看法，让她从追求物质纪念品转向珍视旅行经历本身。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. (人类长期以来收集物品来纪念经历。)”以及“Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India. (纪念品唤起美好回忆，作为一种简单的方式来表达“我去过那里”。印度教授马达卡尔解释说：“我们行为的核心是一种渴望被倾听、被看见和被连接的欲望。”)”可知，第二段主要讲述人们对纪念品的心理需求，即通过纪念品来获得认同感和情感连接。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes (最小化) the profit of the traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), creating a negative cycle. (虽然购买假货看似支持了当地卖家，但这往往会最小化传统手工艺品的利润，形成一个恶性循环。)”可知，这种恶性循环的结果是传统手工艺品利润被压缩，失去了市场竞争力。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders. (意图也很重要，因为纪念品应该因其个人意义而非习惯而被选择。而且纪念品不一定非得是物品——日记或获得的技能都可以成为持久的纪念。)”以及最后一段中“But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect. (但下次你在机场匆忙购买纪念品时，请停下来反思一下。)”可知，作者建议购买有意义的纪念品时，应该出于真正的意图而非图方便，要用心选择而非随意购买。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering is a great way to help others, whether it’s a friend who is struggling with their homework or an elderly person who feels lonely.

I have always pictured an angel as a child with long hair, fair skin and eyes the colour of the Caribbean Sea. That was until I actually met one. Not the childlike form I’d imagined, but feline (猫科的). Not fair skin, but soft, silky, brown fur with soulful eyes. Yes, my angel was a Siamese cat (暹罗猫)! My daughter Jessica was nine years old at the time. She had fallen off the roof. At our one-week checkup with the surgeon (外科医生), X-rays were taken, an exam was made, and we received disappointing news. Although things looked okay on the outside, the bones weren’t in perfect position. The surgeon recommended a return visit to the operating room the next week to reset the bones. My daughter was scared, especially when she learned that her dad and I weren’t allowed to be with her during the procedure (过程). The ride home was very quiet. You could see the worry in her watery eyes and in her body language. There was no way to comfort her. She kept murmuring (喃喃自语) that she hated being alone and that she wished a warm, soft cat could curl up with her to chase away her fear. After encouraging her to have some lunch, I suggested she go outside to get some fresh air. At her age, most kids were interested in toys, but she had always been crazy about cats — she’d watched lots of cat videos and dreamed of having a little cat of her own. Being an only child, she often felt lonely, and a cat was the one friend she wanted most. I stood there, my mind racing to find a way to cheer her up. I was trying to come up with something to take her mind off her worries and fear when all of a sudden something came into sight. A beautiful Siamese cat was walking on the top of the fence in our yard. Walking like an Olympic gymnast, it was showing off its beautiful lines and nice curves. Where did this graceful cat come from? We’d lived in this neighborhood for fifteen years and had never seen this cat before. I couldn’t believe it. The very cat that might just calm my daughter had just appeared from nowhere! 注意： 1.  所需写的短文词数应为150左右； 2.  续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好。 Paragraph 1 The cat crossed the yard and softly rested at my daughter’s feet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 We never saw the cat again after that day, but we kept the photo that we really treasure. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1 The cat crossed the yard and softly rested at my daughter’s feet. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise, and her murmurs of fear died down at once. She slowly reached out her hand to touch the cat’s soft fur, and it purred gently, nuzzling her palm. I quickly took a photo of them together, capturing the way Jessica’s tense shoulders relaxed and a faint smile tugged at her lips. For the first time all day, she didn’t mention the operation — she was too busy talking to her new furry friend. As night fell, the cat rose slowly, rubbed its head against Jessica’s hand one last time, and then slipped through the gap in the fence, as if whispering a gentle goodbye. Paragraph 2 We never saw the cat again after that day, but we kept the photo that we really treasure. Whenever Jessica felt nervous before the surgery, she would look at the picture carefully and think of the warm moment. The lovely cat appeared at her most difficult time and brought her great comfort and courage. It made her relaxed and drove away all her fear and worry. That day, we truly realized that angels don’t always have wings. Sometimes they just come in the form of a soft, purring cat. They are sent to comfort a scared little girl, giving her warmth and strength, and reminding her that she was never truly alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者的女儿因从屋顶摔下需要手术而感到害怕，此时一只神秘的暹罗猫出现，给予了她安慰和陪伴，使她放松并忘记了手术的恐惧，最终作者意识到天使有时会以猫的形式出现的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“猫穿过院子，轻轻地停在我女儿的脚边。”可知，第一段可描写猫出现后，女儿的反应和猫与女儿之间的互动，以及猫离开时的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天之后，我们再也没见过那只猫，但我们保留了我们非常珍惜的那张照片。”可知，第二段可描写照片对女儿的意义，以及女儿从猫身上获得的勇气和安慰，同时作者意识到天使有时会以猫的形式出现。 2.续写线索：猫靠近女儿——女儿情绪缓和——人猫互动——母亲拍照留念——猫离开——女儿依靠照片获得力量——感悟天使的真正含义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出：reach out/stretch out/hold out ②轻蹭：nuzzle/brush gently/snuggle ③溜走：slip/glide away/creep away 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②恐惧：fear/fright/dread 【点睛】【高分句型1】Whenever Jessica felt nervous before the surgery, she would look at the picture carefully and think of the warm moment.

Cesare’s mother is an architect and his father is an electronic engineer. As a child, Cesare became interested in electronics. He loved to experiment. He learned to program computers and equipment like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. He also worked with a 3D printer. After seeing a video about someone building a fusion reactor (核聚变反应堆), Cesare decided he would do something meaningful, too. The school wasn’t so excited about the idea. But Cesare worked to persuade his teachers. Finally, after a complete safety review, and with an extra advisor offering to help out, the school agreed. Cesare was a strong student, but his regular classes weren’t teaching him how to build a fusion reactor. To learn this, he spent countless hours doing research, looking up information on the Internet, and watching videos. He would read, watch 10 or 15 videos, and then try to solve the problem. He also visited a website where he got advice from scientists with more experience. Step by step, working long hours with his physics teacher and his advisor, Cesare built the reactor. Last June, at the very end of the school year, the reactor was finished. Over a year has passed since then, Cesare has continued to improve the reactor. He has built complicated equipment to control the pressure and to better see and understand what’s going on inside the reactor. He’s one of the youngest students to have built such an advanced fusion reactor. But for Cesare, it wasn’t just about the reactor. It was also about learning by doing, and about making connections with other people doing similar things. College is the next stop for Cesare perhaps in England, perhaps in Italy. No matter where he goes, he’ll probably continue to change people’s ideas about how much young people can achieve. 4. What made Cesare decided to build a fusion reactor? A. His interest in videos. B. The inspiration from someone. C. His parents’ influence. D. The support from his school. 5. What do we say about Cesare from paragraph 4? A. He struggled to prepare for the reactor. B. He depended heavily on useful videos. C. He worked with experienced scientists D. He had difficulty in getting information. 6. What is Cesare expected to do in the future? A. Build another reactor. B. Learn new things through the Internet. C. Make greater progress. D. Go to a famous college. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards Cesare’s story? A. Admiring. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. C Greenland is the place on land that is closest to the North Pole in the world. Attracted by the beautiful icy scenery, the number of tourists visiting the country increased by 46% between 2018 and 2023. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the planet, Antarctica is seeing a similar tourism increase. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reports a steady (稳步的) rise in visitors since the 1990s — a dire tourism phenomenon for environmentalists who warn that humans can destroy fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems, influence animal behaviour and bring non-native species with them. The attraction of the polar regions is obvious: the strength of the blue sky on a freezing, sunny day; the excitement of walking on fresh snow; and the unique wildlife that calls these places home. However, as tourism to the poles increases, organisations like the Arctic Council and Visit Greenland stress the need to balance economic benefits with environmental responsibility. James Grecian, an oceanic ecologist, has spent years studying polar wildlife. Last year, he was in Antarctica studying snow petrels (雪鹱) — or more specifically, their vomit (呕吐物). Snow petrels have stomach oil that turns into solid pieces. When scientists study these pieces, they can learn how the petrels’ diet has changed over the years and what that means for the local ecosystem. Grecian explains that by taking samples from the environment or animals, we can learn a lot about past conditions. For example, scientists can collect baleen plates (鲸须板) from dead whales to see what the whales ate and where they lived. Grecian knows how special these places are and how much they are affected. He believes we should act to help protect these important but threatened areas. Polar tourism is growing, but he hopes that with more awareness of its problems, visitors can make better choices. 8. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Amazing. B. Alarming. C. Confusing. D. Misleading. 9. Why does the author mention baleen plates in paragraph 3? A. To explain whale protection practice. B. To share an exploring experience. C. To describe the appearance of whales. D. To show how scientists gather information. 10. Which will Grecian probably agree with? A. Polar tourism should be encouraged. B. Scientists should be more aware of the problems. C. Visitors should be more environmentally responsible. D. Climate change is to blame for the negative changes. 11. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Polar Regions: Beauty and the Wild B. Polar Tour: Popularity and Development C. Polar Tourism: Growth and Concerns D. Polar Wildlife: Protection and Challenges D On a recent trip through the Himalayas, my bruises (淤伤) became the truest souvenirs. More personal than anything bought, they carry a unique memory. Over time, my desire for special souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that's just me. Two out of three Americans bring back a souvenir from their travels, with US sales topping $21billion in 2022. Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India. Travelers today are more aware of their effect on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often ignored. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as “local” are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes (最小化) the profit of the traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), creating a negative cycle. So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs? “Be curious... it’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about refusing and explaining why,” said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade market helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders. Eventually, there’s no universal rule for “meaningful” souvenir. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect. 12. What changed the author’s view on souvenirs? A. A search for adventures. B. A desire for experiences. C. Fear of physical injuries. D. Changes in life stages. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The rise of tourism. B. The mental need for souvenirs. C. The importance of modern tourism. D. The increasing popularity of souvenirs. 14. What is the result of the negative cycle in paragraph 3? A. Tourism becomes more profitable. B. Local sellers gain long-term benefits. C. Traditional handicrafts lose the market. D. Souvenir design becomes unique. 15. What does the author suggest about buying meaningful souvenirs? A. Picking timeless common designs. B. Following your own shopping habits. C. Choosing intention instead of convenience. D. Considering convenience rather than uniqueness. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering is a great way to help others, whether it’s a friend who is struggling with their homework or an elderly person who feels lonely.

I have always pictured an angel as a child with long hair, fair skin and eyes the colour of the Caribbean Sea. That was until I actually met one. Not the childlike form I’d imagined, but feline (猫科的). Not fair skin, but soft, silky, brown fur with soulful eyes. Yes, my angel was a Siamese cat (暹罗猫)! My daughter Jessica was nine years old at the time. She had fallen off the roof. At our one-week checkup with the surgeon (外科医生), X-rays were taken, an exam was made, and we received disappointing news. Although things looked okay on the outside, the bones weren’t in perfect position. The surgeon recommended a return visit to the operating room the next week to reset the bones. My daughter was scared, especially when she learned that her dad and I weren’t allowed to be with her during the procedure (过程). The ride home was very quiet. You could see the worry in her watery eyes and in her body language. There was no way to comfort her. She kept murmuring (喃喃自语) that she hated being alone and that she wished a warm, soft cat could curl up with her to chase away her fear. After encouraging her to have some lunch, I suggested she go outside to get some fresh air. At her age, most kids were interested in toys, but she had always been crazy about cats — she’d watched lots of cat videos and dreamed of having a little cat of her own. Being an only child, she often felt lonely, and a cat was the one friend she wanted most. I stood there, my mind racing to find a way to cheer her up. I was trying to come up with something to take her mind off her worries and fear when all of a sudden something came into sight. A beautiful Siamese cat was walking on the top of the fence in our yard. Walking like an Olympic gymnast, it was showing off its beautiful lines and nice curves. Where did this graceful cat come from? We’d lived in this neighborhood for fifteen years and had never seen this cat before. I couldn’t believe it. The very cat that might just calm my daughter had just appeared from nowhere! 注意： 1.  所需写的短文词数应为150左右； 2.  续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好。 Paragraph 1 The cat crossed the yard and softly rested at my daughter’s feet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 We never saw the cat again after that day, but we kept the photo that we really treasure. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
