Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which is named for President Theodore Roosevelt, features more than 70,000 acres of North Dakota Badlands. It’s a place that feels wide-open and quiet, shaped by wind, water, and time.
Best times to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park
The park is open to visitors year-round, though the most popular time to visit is between spring and fall. Summer draws the biggest crowds, thanks to its warm weather and bright, sunny days. However, spring and early summer are ideal for birdwatching, when activity is at its highest. Fall brings brisk weather and stunning foliage, making it a perfect time for hiking or camping. On the other hand, winter brings a quieter kind of beauty. Snowfall transforms the landscape into a peaceful setting and creates opportunities for skiing within the park.
What else you need to know
Entrance to the park costs $ 30 per vehicle and is valid for seven days. For those planning to visit multiple times in a year, the annual pass is $ 55. There’s also the America the Beautiful Pass, which costs $ 80 and grants entry to all participating national parks, making it an ideal choice for travelers planning to explore several parks throughout the year. There is no accommodations within Theodore Roosevelt National Park itself, but visitors can find hotels in nearby towns like Medora and Watford City. Besides, the park has two campgrounds for visitors.
Are pets allowed? Pets are welcome in the park, but there are rules to keep both them and visitors safe. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet and are not allowed on the trails. They are only permitted on paved surfaces, such as sidewalks, roads, and parking areas.
21. When is the best time for birdwatching?

Born in Wingham, Ontario, in 1931, Alice Munro grew up in a rural community that later became the setting for many of her stories. Her childhood was marked by her father’s work as a fox farmer and her mother’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease, experiences that shaped her understanding of life’s difficulties.
In 1951, Alice received a scholarship to study at the University of Western Ontario. However, financial problems forced her to leave college shortly after she married James Munro. During these busy years as a housewife and bookstore owner, Alice continued writing whenever she could. In 1968, Munro published her first collection, Dance of the Happy Shades, which won the Governor General’s Literary Award, Canada’s highest literary honor. This success introduced readers to her unique style: detailed observations of ordinary life mixed with deep emotional understanding.
Over the following decades, she continued to write about women, relationships, and small-town life in Canada. Her stories often moved between past and present, exploring themes of love, loss, and identity. She published several important collections, including Who Do You Think You Are? (1978) and The Progress of Love (1986), both of which won Governor General’s Literary Awards, earning her comparisons to the Russian writer Chekhov for psychological depth. Her story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” was adapted into the film Away from Her (2006), bringing her work to wider audiences. In 2009, she received the Man Booker International Prize for her lifetime achievement. Her biggest honor came in 2013, when she won the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first Canadian woman to receive this award. The Swedish Academy praised her as the “master of the contemporary short story.” Alice Munro passed away in 2024, leaving behind thirteen collections that changed the short story forever.
24. How did Alice Munro’s childhood experiences influence her writing?
A. By setting a rural community.
B. By improving her education.
C. By shaping her personalities.
D. By shaping her understanding of life’s difficulties.
25. What happened after Munro published Dance of the Happy Shades?
A. She married with James Munro.
B. She won Canada’s highest literary award.
C. She demonstrated her unique writing skills.
D. She worked as a mother and bookstore owner.
26. Why is Chekhov mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To show Munro’s educational background of psychology.
B. To highlight Munro’s writing style of psychological insight.
C. To explore Munro’s writing theme of love and relationships.
D. To help Munro receive Governor General’s Literary Awards.
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A Canadian woman writer. B. A writing course.
C. A collection of short stories. D. A literary award.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way people connect with each other. While tools like ChatGPT help with daily tasks, a new type of AI is becoming popular — AI companion apps designed to provide friendship and emotional support.
According to TechCrunch, a technology news site, the number of AI companion apps surged by 700% between 2022 and mid-2025. These apps, such as Replika and Character.AI, now attract millions of users worldwide. Character.AI alone has 20 million monthly users, with more than half under the age of 24. “It’s been a norm for a while for Replika users to ‘marry’ their AI companion in virtual weddings to which they invite friends and colleagues,” said Rachel Wood, PhD, a cyberpsychology researcher also an adviser on the ethical design of AI systems.
Why do people turn to AI for companionship? Research shows two main reasons: therapy and companionship. A recent survey found that nearly half of adults with mental health conditions used AI tools for emotional support. When people feel lonely or stressed, they may develop strong connections with AI chatbots that offer encouragement and understanding.
Studies suggest that AI companions can help reduce loneliness. Researchers at Harvard Business School discovered that talking to an AI companion reduced loneliness as effectively as talking to a real person. Users reported feeling “heard” and respected during these conversations. Additionally, AI companions can serve as safe spaces for practicing social skills, especially for those who find real-life interactions challenging.
However, experts remind us that these tools require careful design and responsible use. Developers are working to improve voice interactions and create more natural conversation styles. While AI companions offer benefits, psychologists continue studying their long-term effects on human relationships and mental health. As technology advances, AI companions will likely become more common in daily life. Understanding both their advantages and potential risks will help users make informed decisions about these digital relationships.
28. What is the main feature of AI companion apps compared with ChatGPT?
A. They attract more users worldwide.
B. They are designed to build relationships.
C. They help with daily tasks as useful tools.
D. They are affected by their users’ emotions.
29. What can the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 2 be replaced by?
A. Impacted. B. Deduced. C. Increased. D. Reduced.
30. Which person in the following tends to use AI companion apps?
A. An old man who enjoys his retired life.
B. A white-collar female who lives alone.
C. A high school student with his big family.
D. An outgoing teenager with lots of friends.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward AI companions?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
D
In the aftermath of a stroke (中风), people are often left confused by what others are trying to tell them. And a third of stroke survivors will develop aphasia, a disorder that makes it harder to understand and produce written and spoken language, leading to daily challenges and social isolation.
A study by researchers from Stanford University and KU Leuven, published in January 2026, investigated this issue. As Jill Kries, the lead author, explained: “We were interested to see whether people with a language disorder after stroke would mix up the order of different sounds when they hear speech, or whether it would be some other mechanism that goes wrong.”
During the study, 63 people — 39 of whom had post-stroke aphasia — listened to a story while the researchers tracked electrical activity in their brains with an electroencephalogram (EEG). Later, the team used machine learning to identify how the brain responded to individual speech sounds.
They were surprised to find that people with aphasia not only stopped processing sounds sooner than others but also showed less electrical activity in the parts of their brains associated with language processing. Most significantly, they did not take additional time to process “ambiguous” sounds. For example, the sound “m” starts many words, providing little initial information. Healthy brains spend more time on such sounds to predict the correct word, but brains with aphasia did not.
The findings suggest that, rather than mixing up the order of sounds they hear, as Kries had assumed, people with aphasia may simply stop processing sounds too soon, before they can figure out what word they’re hearing. This discovery could lead to better diagnostic tools to explain exactly how aphasia disrupts an individual’s language processing.
The team is now expanding its work, conducting similar experiments with children who have dyslexia, epilepsy, or autism — conditions also linked to language difficulties. “Language is affected in many neurological disorders,” said Kries. “Hopefully, we can find something that will help more than one group of people.”
32. What was the researchers’ initial theory about aphasia?
A. Slower overall speed in all cognitive processing tasks.
B. A complete loss of hearing ability for specific sounds.
C. A malfunction in the brain’s short-term memory storage.
D. An inability to correctly order the sequence of sounds they hear.
33. How was the brain activity data gathered from the participants during the experiment?
A. By analyzing their spoken retelling of the story.
B. Via MRI scans performed before and after the story.
C. Through the use of EEG while they listened to a narrative.
D. By assessing their language comprehension through tests after listening.
34. According to Jill Kries, why is the team expanding their work to children with other conditions?
A. To prove that aphasia has a different cause in children.
B. To develop separate treatment tools for each specific disorder.
C. To replace current diagnostic methods for dyslexia and autism.
D. To identify a common underlying mechanism that could benefit multiple groups.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The social and emotional challenges faced by people suffering from aphasia.
B. The development of a machine learning tool for diagnosing language disorders.
C. A new discovery about how brains with aphasia process speech sounds differently.
D. A comparison between stroke survivors and healthy individuals in daily communication.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Starting a jogging routine can seem challenging, but with the right approach, it can become an enjoyable and sustainable habit. ___36___ Here are some key steps to begin your journey safely and effectively.
___37___ To avoid getting hurt when starting a new exercise plan, wear comfortable shoes that support your foot size, and walking style — ask a running store for help to find the right pair of sneakers. Softer ground like grass or running tracks, will cause less impact on joints and muscles than hard concrete. If you have pre-existing health conditions, consult a physician to ensure jogging is safe for you.
Don’t forget to warm up and cool down. Harvard Health says proper stretching before and after aerobic (有氧的) exercise makes your joints and muscles more flexible, increases your movement range and prevents injury from exercise. Spend 2 minutes doing stretching exercises for your knees, thighs, hips and other key parts before jogging, then walk slowly for 5 minutes to cool down. ___38___
Start with walk-jog intervals instead of nonstop jogging. Walk for 3-5 minutes first, then jog for the same time, and repeat until you finish 20 minutes. ___39___ Research shows this mild way of exercising helps you stick to it more easily than intense workouts.
Increase the workload slowly over time. Only push harder or go farther when your body feels ready, not under pressure — overdoing it early can overload and damage muscles. Judge progress by your mood and energy, not numbers like speed or distance.
___40___ Every small step forward will improve your heart health, mental strength and overall well-being.
A. Prioritize both your comfort and safety.
B. This keeps your muscles loose and joints smooth.
C. Push yourself as hard as possible to make quick progress.
D. Gradually make your jogging time longer as your endurance gets better.
E. The most effective jogging routine is one you can keep long with key points in mind.
F. Investing in professional running gear can greatly boost your performance and motivation.
G. Every small, consistent effort you make will benefit your heart and overall well-being in the long run.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him trip and drop all his books, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder — one that Bill often used to listen to baseball stories. The boy stood there, flustered and at a loss as his things lay scattered all over the ground. Without hesitation, Mark hurried over, knelt down and helped him pick up the scattered articles one by one. Since they were going the same way, Mark offered to carry part of the burden to lighten his load. As they walked side by side, Mark learned the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he’d been feeling lonely lately because his family had just moved to the neighborhood.
They arrived at Bill’s home first, and Mark was warmly invited in for a Coke and to watch some interesting cartoon shows on television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a lot of laughs and casual small talk, and the two boys quickly hit it off before Mark went home. They soon became good friends, seeing each other around school every day, having lunch together and playing baseball after class. Then both graduated from junior high school and luckily ended up in the same high school. They kept in touch all the time and grew closer over the years. Finally, the long-awaited senior year came, and three weeks before graduation, Bill found Mark and asked if they could have a chat somewhere quiet on the campus.
Bill smiled as he reminded Mark of the ordinary day years ago when they had first met by chance. “Do you ever know how much that day meant to me?” asked Bill in a soft and sincere voice. “You see, I was new here and had no friends at all. I felt so lonely and even afraid to go to school every day. But when you came over and helped me, and stayed to chat with me, it made me feel warm and not alone anymore. That afternoon was the start of the best friendship I’ve ever had. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more than that. You gave me the courage to fit in and made my school life full of joy.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: Hearing his words, Mark reached out and pulled Bill into a tight hug.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: On graduation day, Bill handed Mark a carefully wrapped gift box.

Today we’re privileged to invite Dr David Wilson, a famous linguist who specializes in cross cultural communication. Dr Wilson received his doctor’s degree in linguistics from Harvard University and has been teaching at Stanford University for over 15 years. Before starting his teaching career, he worked as a translator for an international organization, where he gained rich experience in cross-cultural communication.
In 2010 he began his research on the differences between eastern and western communication styles. He spent nearly 10 years traveling around Asia and Europe to collect firsthand data. His research shows that cultural differences often lead to misunderstandings in communication. To help people better understand these differences, he wrote a book called Cross-Cultural Communication: A Practical Guide, which has been translated into eight languages today, Dr Wilson will share his research findings and practical suggestions with us. Now, let’s give a warm welcome to Dr David Wilson.

Born in Wingham, Ontario, in 1931, Alice Munro grew up in a rural community that later became the setting for many of her stories. Her childhood was marked by her father’s work as a fox farmer and her mother’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease, experiences that shaped her understanding of life’s difficulties.
In 1951, Alice received a scholarship to study at the University of Western Ontario. However, financial problems forced her to leave college shortly after she married James Munro. During these busy years as a housewife and bookstore owner, Alice continued writing whenever she could. In 1968, Munro published her first collection, Dance of the Happy Shades, which won the Governor General’s Literary Award, Canada’s highest literary honor. This success introduced readers to her unique style: detailed observations of ordinary life mixed with deep emotional understanding.
Over the following decades, she continued to write about women, relationships, and small-town life in Canada. Her stories often moved between past and present, exploring themes of love, loss, and identity. She published several important collections, including Who Do You Think You Are? (1978) and The Progress of Love (1986), both of which won Governor General’s Literary Awards, earning her comparisons to the Russian writer Chekhov for psychological depth. Her story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” was adapted into the film Away from Her (2006), bringing her work to wider audiences. In 2009, she received the Man Booker International Prize for her lifetime achievement. Her biggest honor came in 2013, when she won the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first Canadian woman to receive this award. The Swedish Academy praised her as the “master of the contemporary short story.” Alice Munro passed away in 2024, leaving behind thirteen collections that changed the short story forever.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way people connect with each other. While tools like ChatGPT help with daily tasks, a new type of AI is becoming popular — AI companion apps designed to provide friendship and emotional support.
According to TechCrunch, a technology news site, the number of AI companion apps surged by 700% between 2022 and mid-2025. These apps, such as Replika and Character.AI, now attract millions of users worldwide. Character.AI alone has 20 million monthly users, with more than half under the age of 24. “It’s been a norm for a while for Replika users to ‘marry’ their AI companion in virtual weddings to which they invite friends and colleagues,” said Rachel Wood, PhD, a cyberpsychology researcher also an adviser on the ethical design of AI systems.
Why do people turn to AI for companionship? Research shows two main reasons: therapy and companionship. A recent survey found that nearly half of adults with mental health conditions used AI tools for emotional support. When people feel lonely or stressed, they may develop strong connections with AI chatbots that offer encouragement and understanding.
Studies suggest that AI companions can help reduce loneliness. Researchers at Harvard Business School discovered that talking to an AI companion reduced loneliness as effectively as talking to a real person. Users reported feeling “heard” and respected during these conversations. Additionally, AI companions can serve as safe spaces for practicing social skills, especially for those who find real-life interactions challenging.
However, experts remind us that these tools require careful design and responsible use. Developers are working to improve voice interactions and create more natural conversation styles. While AI companions offer benefits, psychologists continue studying their long-term effects on human relationships and mental health. As technology advances, AI companions will likely become more common in daily life. Understanding both their advantages and potential risks will help users make informed decisions about these digital relationships.
28. What is the main feature of AI companion apps compared with ChatGPT?
A. They attract more users worldwide.
B. They are designed to build relationships.
C. They help with daily tasks as useful tools.
D. They are affected by their users’ emotions.
29. What can the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 2 be replaced by?
A. Impacted. B. Deduced. C. Increased. D. Reduced.
30. Which person in the following tends to use AI companion apps?
A. An old man who enjoys his retired life.
B. A white-collar female who lives alone.
C. A high school student with his big family.
D. An outgoing teenager with lots of friends.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward AI companions?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While tools like ChatGPT help with daily tasks, a new type of AI is becoming popular — AI companion apps designed to provide friendship and emotional support.(虽然像ChatGPT这样的工具可帮助完成日常任务,但一种新型的人工智能正在流行——旨在提供友谊和情感支持的AI伴侣应用程序。)”可知,与ChatGPT相比,AI伴侣应用程序的主要特点是被设计用于建立关系,提供友谊和情感支持。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“According to TechCrunch, a technology news site, the number of AI companion apps surged by 700% between 2022 and mid-2025. These apps, such as Replika and Character.AI, now attract millions of users worldwide.(据科技新闻网站TechCrunch报道,2022年至2025年年中,AI伴侣应用程序的数量surged了700%。像Replika和Character.AI这样的应用程序现在在全球吸引了数百万用户。)”,从“吸引了数百万用户”可推测,应用程序数量是增加的,“surged”意思与“increased(增加)”相近。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Why do people turn to AI for companionship? Research shows two main reasons: therapy and companionship. A recent survey found that nearly half of adults with mental health conditions used AI tools for emotional support. When people feel lonely or stressed, they may develop strong connections with AI chatbots that offer encouragement and understanding.(为什么人们会向人工智能寻求陪伴?研究表明有两个主要原因:治疗和陪伴。最近的一项调查发现,近一半有心理健康问题的成年人使用人工智能工具寻求情感支持。当人们感到孤独或压力时,他们可能会与提供鼓励和理解的人工智能聊天机器人建立紧密联系。)”可知,感到孤独或有心理压力的人倾向于使用AI伴侣应用程序。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, experts remind us that these tools require careful design and responsible use. Developers are working to improve voice interactions and create more natural conversation styles. While AI companions offer benefits, psychologists continue studying their long-term effects on human relationships and mental health. As technology advances, AI companions will likely become more common in daily life. Understanding both their advantages and potential risks will help users make informed decisions about these digital relationships.(然而,专家提醒我们,这类工具需要精心设计、规范合理使用。 开发者正致力于优化语音交互,打造更自然的对话模式。 尽管人工智能陪伴类产品带来诸多益处,心理学家仍在持续研究它们对人际关系和心理健康的长期影响。 随着科技进步,人工智能伴侣很可能会在日常生活中变得越来越普遍。 充分了解其优势与潜在风险,能帮助人们在这类数字化情感关系上做出理性明智的选择)”可知,作者既提到AI伴侣的好处,也指出需谨慎使用并关注其潜在风险,所以作者对AI伴侣的态度是客观的。
D
In the aftermath of a stroke (中风), people are often left confused by what others are trying to tell them. And a third of stroke survivors will develop aphasia, a disorder that makes it harder to understand and produce written and spoken language, leading to daily challenges and social isolation.
A study by researchers from Stanford University and KU Leuven, published in January 2026, investigated this issue. As Jill Kries, the lead author, explained: “We were interested to see whether people with a language disorder after stroke would mix up the order of different sounds when they hear speech, or whether it would be some other mechanism that goes wrong.”
During the study, 63 people — 39 of whom had post-stroke aphasia — listened to a story while the researchers tracked electrical activity in their brains with an electroencephalogram (EEG). Later, the team used machine learning to identify how the brain responded to individual speech sounds.
They were surprised to find that people with aphasia not only stopped processing sounds sooner than others but also showed less electrical activity in the parts of their brains associated with language processing. Most significantly, they did not take additional time to process “ambiguous” sounds. For example, the sound “m” starts many words, providing little initial information. Healthy brains spend more time on such sounds to predict the correct word, but brains with aphasia did not.
The findings suggest that, rather than mixing up the order of sounds they hear, as Kries had assumed, people with aphasia may simply stop processing sounds too soon, before they can figure out what word they’re hearing. This discovery could lead to better diagnostic tools to explain exactly how aphasia disrupts an individual’s language processing.
The team is now expanding its work, conducting similar experiments with children who have dyslexia, epilepsy, or autism — conditions also linked to language difficulties. “Language is affected in many neurological disorders,” said Kries. “Hopefully, we can find something that will help more than one group of people.”
32. What was the researchers’ initial theory about aphasia?
A. Slower overall speed in all cognitive processing tasks.
B. A complete loss of hearing ability for specific sounds.
C. A malfunction in the brain’s short-term memory storage.
D. An inability to correctly order the sequence of sounds they hear.
33. How was the brain activity data gathered from the participants during the experiment?
A. By analyzing their spoken retelling of the story.
B. Via MRI scans performed before and after the story.
C. Through the use of EEG while they listened to a narrative.
D. By assessing their language comprehension through tests after listening.
34. According to Jill Kries, why is the team expanding their work to children with other conditions?
A. To prove that aphasia has a different cause in children.
B. To develop separate treatment tools for each specific disorder.
C. To replace current diagnostic methods for dyslexia and autism.
D. To identify a common underlying mechanism that could benefit multiple groups.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The social and emotional challenges faced by people suffering from aphasia.
B. The development of a machine learning tool for diagnosing language disorders.
C. A new discovery about how brains with aphasia process speech sounds differently.
D. A comparison between stroke survivors and healthy individuals in daily communication.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍中风后三分之一的幸存者会患失语症,斯坦福大学和鲁汶大学的研究人员对此展开研究,最初假设失语症患者可能混淆听到声音的顺序,通过实验却发现他们可能过早停止处理声音,团队还打算将研究扩展到有其他语言困难的儿童群体,希望找到对多组人有益的东西。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““We were interested to see whether people with a language disorder after stroke would mix up the order of different sounds when they hear speech, or whether it would be some other mechanism that goes wrong.”(“我们想知道中风后有语言障碍的人在听到话语时,是否会混淆不同声音的顺序,还是其他某些机制出了问题。”)”可知,研究人员最初关于失语症的理论是患者无法正确排列所听到声音的顺序。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“During the study, 63 people — 39 of whom had post-stroke aphasia — listened to a story while the researchers tracked electrical activity in their brains with an electroencephalogram (EEG).(研究过程中,63人(其中39人患有中风后失语症)听故事,同时研究人员用脑电图(EEG)追踪他们大脑中的电活动)”可知,实验中是通过让参与者听故事时使用脑电图来收集大脑活动数据的。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Language is affected in many neurological disorders,” said Kries. “Hopefully, we can find something that will help more than one group of people.”(“许多神经系统疾病都会影响语言,”克里斯说,“希望我们能找到对不止一组人有帮助的东西”)”可知,团队将研究扩展到有其他病症的儿童,是为了确定一种对多个群体都有益的共同潜在机制。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the aftermath of a stroke (中风), people are often left confused by what others are trying to tell them. And a third of stroke survivors will develop aphasia, a disorder that makes it harder to understand and produce written and spoken language, leading to daily challenges and social isolation.(中风过后,患者常常无法理解他人想要表达的意思。 有三分之一的中风幸存者会患上失语症,这种病症会让患者更难理解和读写、表达语言,进而造成日常生活困难,还会导致社交孤立)”可知,文章围绕失语症患者大脑对语音的处理展开,讲述了研究过程、新发现(失语症患者大脑处理语音声音的不同方式)以及研究的拓展方向,C选项“关于失语症大脑如何不同地处理语音声音的新发现”能准确概括文章主旨。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him trip and drop all his books, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder — one that Bill often used to listen to baseball stories. The boy stood there, flustered and at a loss as his things lay scattered all over the ground. Without hesitation, Mark hurried over, knelt down and helped him pick up the scattered articles one by one. Since they were going the same way, Mark offered to carry part of the burden to lighten his load. As they walked side by side, Mark learned the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he’d been feeling lonely lately because his family had just moved to the neighborhood.
They arrived at Bill’s home first, and Mark was warmly invited in for a Coke and to watch some interesting cartoon shows on television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a lot of laughs and casual small talk, and the two boys quickly hit it off before Mark went home. They soon became good friends, seeing each other around school every day, having lunch together and playing baseball after class. Then both graduated from junior high school and luckily ended up in the same high school. They kept in touch all the time and grew closer over the years. Finally, the long-awaited senior year came, and three weeks before graduation, Bill found Mark and asked if they could have a chat somewhere quiet on the campus.
Bill smiled as he reminded Mark of the ordinary day years ago when they had first met by chance. “Do you ever know how much that day meant to me?” asked Bill in a soft and sincere voice. “You see, I was new here and had no friends at all. I felt so lonely and even afraid to go to school every day. But when you came over and helped me, and stayed to chat with me, it made me feel warm and not alone anymore. That afternoon was the start of the best friendship I’ve ever had. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more than that. You gave me the courage to fit in and made my school life full of joy.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: Hearing his words, Mark reached out and pulled Bill into a tight hug.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: On graduation day, Bill handed Mark a carefully wrapped gift box.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1: Hearing his words, Mark reached out and pulled Bill into a tight hug. A surge of warmth welled up in his chest as he patted Bill’s back gently, his eyes soft with emotion. “I never thought a small kind act could mean so much,” he said, “and I’m truly lucky to have you as my friend.” Bill leaned into the hug, his voice thick with emotion as he recalled the sweet moments they’d shared — playing baseball after class, comforting each other during tough exams, and laughing over silly jokes. Mark listened quietly, grateful for this precious friendship born from a random encounter. As they stood there on the campus path, Bill’s mind wandered, already thinking about what special gift he could prepare for Mark on graduation day to express his sincere thanks.
Paragraph 2: On graduation day, Bill handed Mark a carefully wrapped gift box. Inside lay the well-polished small tape recorder — the one he used to listen to baseball stories when they first met, with a handwritten note on its cover: “To my best friend — thank you for picking up my books and my lonely heart that day.” Mark traced the smooth surface with his fingertips, a big smile spreading across his face as he met Bill’s shining eyes. They took a photo side by side on the campus lawn, arms around each other, joy and gratitude evident in every gesture. They promised to keep their friendship forever, knowing that a small act of kindness could blossom into a lifelong treasure, and warmth and care would always be the most beautiful light in life.
