Holding the key to a car, 40-year-old Jessica Rader couldn’t help but weep. “It’s not just about the car,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “It’s about community.”
The vehicle was more than a gift; it was a masterpiece of kindness crafted by students at Louisa County High School. For several months, these teenagers had labored in their automotive workshop to repair the car specifically for Rader, a single mother of three. “Kids who never met me cared enough to ensure my family’s safety,” Rader remarked, still breathless from the encounter.
This heartwarming scene was part of a partnership between the school and Giving Words, a local nonprofit founded by Eddie Brown. Having struggled as single parents themselves, Brown and his wife understood the stakes (利害关系). “A broken-down car can mean losing a job or missing vital appointments,” Brown explained. Since 2018, they have donated over 60 cars to single mothers, with high schoolers renewing about half of them.
In the school’s garage, the connection of education and real life becomes visible. Under the guidance of teacher Shane Robertson, about 20 students per car handle everything from brake repairs to battery testing. For 16-year-old Holden Pekary, the experience is deeply rewarding. He recalled a recent presentation where the class raised the garage doors and clapped as a mother with a baby received her keys. “I put the license plate on for her,” Holden said proudly. “It was nice.”
For Rader, the car was a conduit to a new life. Within three months of connecting with the program, her world shifted. “Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,” she said. Beyond the car, Giving Words also gave her free oil changes, as well as diapers (尿布) and clothing for her sons. A little mechanical help can drive a soul toward a brighter future.
4. What did Rader value most?
A. The car’s excellent performance.
B. The collective care of the community.
C. The car’s extraordinary function.
D. The academic credits students earned.
5. Why did Eddie Brown start the vehicle donation program?
A. To reduce the unemployment rate locally.
B. To provide technical training for teenagers.
C. To share his own successful parenting tips.
D. To assist single parents in hard times.
6. How did the car program change Rader’s life?
A. It encouraged her to become a mechanic.
B. It improved her academic performance.
C. It secured her a more stable livelihood.
D. It helped her get rid of financial crisis.
7. Which word can replace the underlined word “conduit” in the last paragraph?
A. Bridge. B. Street. C. Position. D. Stone.
C
The huge iceberg A23a, a 3,500-square-kilometer ice mass that broke off from the Antarctic in 1986, is moving through the South Atlantic. After remaining grounded for over three decades, this “giant berg” is now following a path called “iceberg alley”, pushed by strong ocean currents. Scientists are keeping a careful watch on its path as it moves toward South Georgia, an important home for wild animals.
The main worry is that the iceberg might strike the shallow seabed around the island. Andrew Meijers, an expert from the British Antarctic Survey, warns that the iceberg has not broken into pieces. “Predicting the exact path is difficult,” Meijers said, but current conditions suggest it could arrive in a few weeks. If A23a gets stuck, it could stay there for months, blocking the ways that local animals use to find food.
For the island’s seals and penguins, the timing is very bad. It is now the season for them to produce young, and parents must travel to sea often to get food for their babies. “The animals might have to go around the iceberg if it gets stuck,” Meijers explained. Such long trips use too much energy, which might cause many young animals to die of hunger, especially since they are already facing a bird flu problem.
However, not all experts think a crash will happen. Raul Cordero, a researcher from a university in Chile, suggests the island’s natural water flow might help. “The island acts as a block for ocean currents and usually moves the water away before it reaches the land,” Cordero said. Since the iceberg moves with the water, the chance of a direct hit may be lower than people fear.
The future of South Georgia’s animals is still uncertain. Whether A23a will pass the island or get stuck depends on the deep-sea shape and powerful currents. As the world’s largest iceberg continues its travel, researchers remain active in watching whether this moving giant will bring a disaster to one of the most important animal homes on Earth.
8. What may be the primary threat A23a create to local species?
A. Spreading dangerous diseases among animals.
B. Occupying their natural living spaces on land.
C. Increasing their energy costs for finding food.
D. Polluting the shallow seabed around the island.
9. Why is the current timing particularly critical for local animals?
A. They are struggling with a sudden health crisis.
B. It matches the period for raising their young.
C. They need to move to warmer areas for winter.
D. Food resources are becoming extremely limited.
10. Which factor might prevent a crash with South Georgia?
A. The iceberg’s tendency to break into pieces.
B. The island’s special shape under the deep sea.
C. The active protection from local research teams.
D. The natural movement of water away from land.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward the island’s future?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive.
D
Although gratitude is often top of mind around the holidays, child development experts say this season is really a reminder that thankfulness works best as a daily, year-round practice, one that can meaningfully support children’s emotional health.
“As children regularly practice noticing small, good things, they’re building neural (神经系统的) paths that help them shift attention away from stress and toward positive aspects of their experience,” children’s music artist, author and mindfulness educator Kira Willey said. Over time, she said, those repeated moments help children “find good ground in all kinds of situations, even when things feel confusing”.
As concerns about youth mental health continue, experts say gratitude remains one of the simplest and most accessible tools families can use to support kids’ emotional recovery. For many families, gratitude has become a practical strategy for easing day-to-day stress.
Janine Marcello, a mom from Rhode Island, said that her family began a nightly gratitude check-in when her two daughters were struggling with uncertainty. “It wasn’t anything difficult,” Marcello said. “We’d just sit and go around saying one thing we appreciated that day. At first they rolled their eyes, but after a few weeks they were reminding me to do it. It honestly helped all of us settle our nerves.”
Experts describe gratitude as a multi-step skill: noticing something positive, recognizing someone else helped make it happen, feeling appreciation and expressing it. Children aren’t born knowing how to do this naturally; they build the skill slowly, often by watching adults model it.
For younger kids, gratitude works best when it’s playful, simple and added into routines that already exist. “The magic secret is to keep it short, keep it playful, and make it regular by keeping it to things you already do every day,” she said. That might mean pausing at breakfast to appreciate where food came from, naming something that made them smile on the ride to school, or sharing one small thing they’re grateful for at bedtime.
Parents shouldn’t worry if kids don’t immediately grasp the idea. The seeds you’re planting through these repeated moments will grow over time.
12. What do child development experts stress about thankfulness?
A. Work on many kinds of holidays.
B. Support for kids’ emotional health daily.
C. Holidays for children’s physical health.
D. Paths to mental practice.
13. What benefit do repeated gratitude moments bring children?
A. Building neural pathways to focus on stress.
B. Recognizing stress easily.
C. Staying positive in different situations.
D. Noticing small good things.
14. How does gratitude work best for younger kids?
A. By being long and formal. B. By being shared mainly at bedtime.
C. By being taught in special classes. D. By being fun, simple and regular.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Gratitude: Teaching Kids the Skill
B. Gratitude: Daily Practice for Kids’ Health
C. Holiday Gratitude: Why It Matters Much
D. Gratitude: A Family’s Daily Story

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Writing is like running: It gets easier the more you train. ____16____ They also do stretches, strength and cross-training. As writers, we can also improve our writing skills by increasing the time we spend on writing and completing other related exercises. Here are some practices that may help you become a better writer. Let’s dive in.
Establish a regular writing routine. Household chores, family obligations, or even TV shows always seem more urgent. However, if you’re serious about writing, you have to go out of your way to make time for it. The trick is changing your mindset. ____17____ Schedule a set time in your day for writing and honour it even when you don’t feel like it.
____18____ Whether you’re writing a novel or a scientific journal article, becoming familiar with examples of excellent writing in your genre will help you improve your own writing. By immersing yourself in works by good writers, you will expand your vocabulary, build knowledge, and feed your imagination.
Plan what you want to say. Every piece of writing has a purpose, whether it’s to persuade the reader, reveal a backstory, or connect emotionally with the reader. You’ll write faster and more clearly if you know that purpose before you start. Therefore, sum up your message in one line before you start. ____19____
Embrace constructive criticism. Seeking feedback (反馈) from the right people is one of the fastest ways to improve as a writer.

A. Pick up good books.
B. But serious runners don’t just run.

One sunny Saturday, 15-year-old Mark was riding his bicycle through the city park. He loved the feeling of the wind on his face and the peace of the green trees around him. The morning sunlight shone through the leaves, creating dancing shadows on the winding path. As he rode past a wooden bench, something shiny caught his eye. He stopped his bike and walked over carefully. It was a black camera bag, left quietly on the seat.
Mark looked around, but there was no one nearby. The park was quiet except for a few birds singing in the trees. He pulled open the bag and sucked in a cold breath. Inside was a high-end professional camera with a huge lens. It looked very expensive and well-maintained. Mark’s heart beat fast. He had always wanted a camera like this. He dreamed of being a photographer, but his family couldn’t afford such expensive equipment. His part-time job at the grocery store barely covered his school supplies.
“Maybe the owner lost it and won’t come back,” a voice in his head whispered. “Finders keepers.”
He sat on the bench, holding the heavy camera. He turned it on and looked at the photos stored in it. There were hundreds of pictures: a smiling baby, a wedding, an old couple holding hands, and a beautiful golden retriever dog. These weren’t just random shots; they were someone’s precious memories that could never be replaced.
Mark felt a knot in his stomach. If he kept the camera, he would have a great device, but someone else would lose these irreplaceable moments. He looked at the tag on the side of the bag. Faded ink showed a phone number.
He hesitated for a moment, looking at the cool camera one last time, and then pulled out his mobile phone. He decided to do the right thing, even if it meant giving up his dream camera.
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。
He dialed the number on the tag.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Half an hour later, a gray car pulled up anxiously near the park entrance.

Holding the key to a car, 40-year-old Jessica Rader couldn’t help but weep. “It’s not just about the car,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “It’s about community.”
The vehicle was more than a gift; it was a masterpiece of kindness crafted by students at Louisa County High School. For several months, these teenagers had labored in their automotive workshop to repair the car specifically for Rader, a single mother of three. “Kids who never met me cared enough to ensure my family’s safety,” Rader remarked, still breathless from the encounter.
This heartwarming scene was part of a partnership between the school and Giving Words, a local nonprofit founded by Eddie Brown. Having struggled as single parents themselves, Brown and his wife understood the stakes (利害关系). “A broken-down car can mean losing a job or missing vital appointments,” Brown explained. Since 2018, they have donated over 60 cars to single mothers, with high schoolers renewing about half of them.
In the school’s garage, the connection of education and real life becomes visible. Under the guidance of teacher Shane Robertson, about 20 students per car handle everything from brake repairs to battery testing. For 16-year-old Holden Pekary, the experience is deeply rewarding. He recalled a recent presentation where the class raised the garage doors and clapped as a mother with a baby received her keys. “I put the license plate on for her,” Holden said proudly. “It was nice.”
For Rader, the car was a conduit to a new life. Within three months of connecting with the program, her world shifted. “Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,” she said. Beyond the car, Giving Words also gave her free oil changes, as well as diapers (尿布) and clothing for her sons. A little mechanical help can drive a soul toward a brighter future.
4. What did Rader value most?
A. The car’s excellent performance.
B. The collective care of the community.
C. The car’s extraordinary function.
D. The academic credits students earned.
5. Why did Eddie Brown start the vehicle donation program?
A. To reduce the unemployment rate locally.
B. To provide technical training for teenagers.
C. To share his own successful parenting tips.
D. To assist single parents in hard times.
6. How did the car program change Rader’s life?
A. It encouraged her to become a mechanic.
B. It improved her academic performance.
C. It secured her a more stable livelihood.
D. It helped her get rid of financial crisis.
7. Which word can replace the underlined word “conduit” in the last paragraph?
A. Bridge. B. Street. C. Position. D. Stone.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

细节理解题。 根据第一段““It’s not just about the car,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “It’s about community.”(“这不仅仅是一辆车的事,” 她轻声说道,声音因激动而颤抖,“这关乎整个社区。”)”可知,Rader最珍视的是社区带来的集体关怀,而非汽车本身。故选B。

细节理解题。 根据最后一段““Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,” she said. (她说:“因为这辆车,我从兼职变成了全职工作,还开始上学了。”)”可知,汽车项目让Rader获得了更稳定的生计和发展机会。故选C。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据最后一段“For Rader, the car was a conduit to a new life. Within three months of connecting with the program, her world shifted. “Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,” she said.(对Rader而言,这辆车是新生活的conduit。加入该项目短短三个月内,她的人生就发生了转变。她说:“因为这辆车,我从兼职变成了全职工作,还开始上学了。”)”可知,这辆车帮助Rader开启新生活,从兼职到全职、重返校园,是连接她过去困境与未来新生活的纽带,A选项“Bridge.(桥梁)”可替换该句中“conduit”。故选A。
C
The huge iceberg A23a, a 3,500-square-kilometer ice mass that broke off from the Antarctic in 1986, is moving through the South Atlantic. After remaining grounded for over three decades, this “giant berg” is now following a path called “iceberg alley”, pushed by strong ocean currents. Scientists are keeping a careful watch on its path as it moves toward South Georgia, an important home for wild animals.
The main worry is that the iceberg might strike the shallow seabed around the island. Andrew Meijers, an expert from the British Antarctic Survey, warns that the iceberg has not broken into pieces. “Predicting the exact path is difficult,” Meijers said, but current conditions suggest it could arrive in a few weeks. If A23a gets stuck, it could stay there for months, blocking the ways that local animals use to find food.
For the island’s seals and penguins, the timing is very bad. It is now the season for them to produce young, and parents must travel to sea often to get food for their babies. “The animals might have to go around the iceberg if it gets stuck,” Meijers explained. Such long trips use too much energy, which might cause many young animals to die of hunger, especially since they are already facing a bird flu problem.
However, not all experts think a crash will happen. Raul Cordero, a researcher from a university in Chile, suggests the island’s natural water flow might help. “The island acts as a block for ocean currents and usually moves the water away before it reaches the land,” Cordero said. Since the iceberg moves with the water, the chance of a direct hit may be lower than people fear.
The future of South Georgia’s animals is still uncertain. Whether A23a will pass the island or get stuck depends on the deep-sea shape and powerful currents. As the world’s largest iceberg continues its travel, researchers remain active in watching whether this moving giant will bring a disaster to one of the most important animal homes on Earth.
8. What may be the primary threat A23a create to local species?
A. Spreading dangerous diseases among animals.
B. Occupying their natural living spaces on land.
C. Increasing their energy costs for finding food.
D. Polluting the shallow seabed around the island.
9. Why is the current timing particularly critical for local animals?
A. They are struggling with a sudden health crisis.
B. It matches the period for raising their young.
C. They need to move to warmer areas for winter.
D. Food resources are becoming extremely limited.
10. Which factor might prevent a crash with South Georgia?
A. The iceberg’s tendency to break into pieces.
B. The island’s special shape under the deep sea.
C. The active protection from local research teams.
D. The natural movement of water away from land.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward the island’s future?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Such long trips use too much energy, which might cause many young animals to die of hunger, especially since they are already facing a bird flu problem.(如此漫长的长途旅行会消耗大量能量,这可能导致许多幼崽死于饥饿,尤其是在它们已然面临禽流感问题的情况下。)”可知,冰山会增加当地动物觅食的能量消耗,威胁它们的生存。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For the island’s seals and penguins, the timing is very bad. It is now the season for them to produce young, and parents must travel to sea often to get food for their babies.(对岛上的海豹和企鹅来说,此时机十分不利。现在正是它们繁育后代的季节,成年动物需要频繁出海为幼崽觅食。)”可知,当下正是它们抚育幼崽的关键时期。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““The island acts as a block for ocean currents and usually moves the water away before it reaches the land,” Cordero said. Since the iceberg moves with the water, the chance of a direct hit may be lower than people fear.(科德罗说:“这座岛就像洋流屏障,通常会在水流抵达陆地前将其引开。”由于冰山会随水流移动,直接撞击的可能性可能比人们担心的要低。)”可知,远离陆地的自然水流运动可能避免冰山撞击岛屿。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The future of South Georgia’s animals is still uncertain. Whether A23a will pass the island or get stuck depends on the deep-sea shape and powerful currents. As the world’s largest iceberg continues its travel, researchers remain active in watching whether this moving giant will bring a disaster to one of the most important animal homes on Earth.(南乔治亚岛动物的未来仍充满不确定性。A23a冰山是会经过该岛,还是会搁浅,取决于深海地形与强劲洋流。随着这座全球最大冰山继续行进,研究人员仍在密切监测,观察这个 “移动的庞然大物” 是否会给地球上最重要的动物栖息地之一带来灾难。)”可知,作者客观陈述各方观点与未知的影响,不悲观也不乐观,态度客观中立。故选A项。
D
Although gratitude is often top of mind around the holidays, child development experts say this season is really a reminder that thankfulness works best as a daily, year-round practice, one that can meaningfully support children’s emotional health.
“As children regularly practice noticing small, good things, they’re building neural (神经系统的) paths that help them shift attention away from stress and toward positive aspects of their experience,” children’s music artist, author and mindfulness educator Kira Willey said. Over time, she said, those repeated moments help children “find good ground in all kinds of situations, even when things feel confusing”.
As concerns about youth mental health continue, experts say gratitude remains one of the simplest and most accessible tools families can use to support kids’ emotional recovery. For many families, gratitude has become a practical strategy for easing day-to-day stress.
Janine Marcello, a mom from Rhode Island, said that her family began a nightly gratitude check-in when her two daughters were struggling with uncertainty. “It wasn’t anything difficult,” Marcello said. “We’d just sit and go around saying one thing we appreciated that day. At first they rolled their eyes, but after a few weeks they were reminding me to do it. It honestly helped all of us settle our nerves.”
Experts describe gratitude as a multi-step skill: noticing something positive, recognizing someone else helped make it happen, feeling appreciation and expressing it. Children aren’t born knowing how to do this naturally; they build the skill slowly, often by watching adults model it.
For younger kids, gratitude works best when it’s playful, simple and added into routines that already exist. “The magic secret is to keep it short, keep it playful, and make it regular by keeping it to things you already do every day,” she said. That might mean pausing at breakfast to appreciate where food came from, naming something that made them smile on the ride to school, or sharing one small thing they’re grateful for at bedtime.
Parents shouldn’t worry if kids don’t immediately grasp the idea. The seeds you’re planting through these repeated moments will grow over time.
12. What do child development experts stress about thankfulness?
A. Work on many kinds of holidays.
B. Support for kids’ emotional health daily.
C. Holidays for children’s physical health.
D. Paths to mental practice.
13. What benefit do repeated gratitude moments bring children?
A. Building neural pathways to focus on stress.
B. Recognizing stress easily.
C. Staying positive in different situations.
D. Noticing small good things.
14. How does gratitude work best for younger kids?
A. By being long and formal. B. By being shared mainly at bedtime.
C. By being taught in special classes. D. By being fun, simple and regular.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Gratitude: Teaching Kids the Skill
B. Gratitude: Daily Practice for Kids’ Health
C. Holiday Gratitude: Why It Matters Much
D. Gratitude: A Family’s Daily Story
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了AI与机器人浪潮正席卷全球职场,电工这类传统技术工种也难以幸免,中国已研发出可完成高危带电线路维修的电力机器人。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:许多电工、水管工和焊工都认为自己不会受到席卷全球就业市场的人工智能和机器人浪潮的影响,但似乎在飞速发展的技术面前,没有人能真正免受这种威胁。句中已有谓语动词are,所以此处应用非谓语动词,the AI and robot wave与sweep之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词sweeping作后置定语,修饰the AI and robot wave。故填sweeping。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:例如,中国最近宣布,其一款机器人成功取代了人类电工,并在10千伏高压线上进行了关键维修。此处修饰名词robots,应用形容词性物主代词its,意为“它的”。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:例如,中国最近宣布,其一款机器人成功取代了人类电工,并在10千伏高压线上进行了关键维修。replaced human electricians和performed critical repairs是并列的动作,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这款机器人电工由湖北电力研究院和武汉国家电网开发,它甚至可以在最复杂的布线环境中作业。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是The robot electrician,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这款机器人电工由湖北电力研究院和武汉国家电网开发,它甚至可以在最复杂的布线环境中作业。根据most complex可知,此处是形容词最高级,前面需用定冠词the。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:“最重要的是,它完全可以防止人们受到电流伤害,”武汉国家电网的技术人员吴鑫说。此处修饰动词prevents,应用副词completely作状语,意为“完全地”。故填completely。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这项意义重大的维修工作标志着在确保电工在极其危险的环境中的绝对安全方面向前迈出了重要一步。此处修饰名词repair job,应用形容词significant,意为“意义重大的”。故填significant。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通常情况下,电工穿着特殊的防护装备,在10千伏高压线上带电作业,以防止周边地区停电,这使他们处于极度危险之中。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,表示带电作业的目的是防止周边地区停电,所以用to prevent。故填to prevent。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:通常情况下,电工穿着特殊的防护装备,在10千伏高压线上带电作业,以防止周边地区停电,这使他们处于极度危险之中。in danger为固定短语,意为“处于危险之中”。故填in。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:一个小失误就可能意味着生与死的差别,但像这样的机器人可以承担这些艰巨的任务,这样我们就不用冒这个险了。根据and前的life可知,此处应用名词death,意为“死亡”,与life并列作宾语。故填death。

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。
One sunny Saturday, 15-year-old Mark was riding his bicycle through the city park. He loved the feeling of the wind on his face and the peace of the green trees around him. The morning sunlight shone through the leaves, creating dancing shadows on the winding path. As he rode past a wooden bench, something shiny caught his eye. He stopped his bike and walked over carefully. It was a black camera bag, left quietly on the seat.
Mark looked around, but there was no one nearby. The park was quiet except for a few birds singing in the trees. He pulled open the bag and sucked in a cold breath. Inside was a high-end professional camera with a huge lens. It looked very expensive and well-maintained. Mark’s heart beat fast. He had always wanted a camera like this. He dreamed of being a photographer, but his family couldn’t afford such expensive equipment. His part-time job at the grocery store barely covered his school supplies.
“Maybe the owner lost it and won’t come back,” a voice in his head whispered. “Finders keepers.”
He sat on the bench, holding the heavy camera. He turned it on and looked at the photos stored in it. There were hundreds of pictures: a smiling baby, a wedding, an old couple holding hands, and a beautiful golden retriever dog. These weren’t just random shots; they were someone’s precious memories that could never be replaced.
Mark felt a knot in his stomach. If he kept the camera, he would have a great device, but someone else would lose these irreplaceable moments. He looked at the tag on the side of the bag. Faded ink showed a phone number.
He hesitated for a moment, looking at the cool camera one last time, and then pulled out his mobile phone. He decided to do the right thing, even if it meant giving up his dream camera.
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。
He dialed the number on the tag.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Half an hour later, a gray car pulled up anxiously near the park entrance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
He dialed the number on the tag. The phone rang for a long time before a worried voice answered. “Hello?” a man asked. Mark cleared his throat and said, “Hello, my name is Mark. I found a camera bag in the city park. Is this yours?” There was a moment of silence, followed by a gasp of relief. “Oh, thank you! Yes! I’m a photographer, and those photos are incredibly important to me. I thought I had lost them forever.” The man’s voice was shaking with emotion. Mark gave him the location of the park bench and promised to wait for him. Hanging up the phone, Mark felt a weight lift off his chest. He knew he had made the right choice.
Half an hour later, a gray car pulled up anxiously near the park entrance. The man jumped out and ran towards the bench. When he saw Mark holding the bag, he smiled widely. “Thank you so much, young man!” he said, checking the camera to make sure everything was safe. “You saved my career.” He insisted on giving Mark a reward, but Mark refused. “I just did what I should do,” Mark said. The man smiled, “Well, at least let me teach you a few things about photography.” From that day on, Mark not only gained a mentor but also learned that honesty captures the most beautiful picture of all.
【解析】

②由第二段首句内容“半小时后,一辆灰色的汽车匆忙停在了公园入口附近”可知,第二段可描写半小时后,男人开车赶来,看到马克拿着相机包十分感激,确认相机完好后想给马克报酬,马克拒绝,男人提出至少教马克一些摄影知识。从那天起,马克不仅得到一位导师,还明白诚实能描绘出最美好的画面。
