A. can’t B. mustn’t C. can D. must 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能在即将到来的中考中取得高分吗？——我不能保证什么，但我会尽我最大的努力。 can’t不能；mustn’t禁止；can能够；must必须。根据答语“but I will do my best”可知，说话者对于结果不确定，无法做出肯定承诺，用can’t表示“不能”。 5. —How can we _________ H2 in the lab? —Just follow this: Zn+H2SO4=ZnSO4+H2↑ A. prevent B. produce C. pollute D. protect 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们如何在实验室里制取氢气？——只要遵循这个方程式：Zn+H2SO4=ZnSO4+H2↑。 prevent防止；produce生产，制造；pollute污染；protect保护。根据答语提供的化学方程式可知，这是在展示生成氢气的反应过程，因此问的是如何“制取/产生”氢气，produce符合语境。 6.

If you have a wide vocabulary, you can communicate successfully ____11____ the grammar is not perfect. However, one ____12____ problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Why does this often happen? The main ____13____ is that most students learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not _____14_____ if you don’t have a very good memory. The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words well is to learn new words and use them ____15____. You can do this with a very easy exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than ____16____ reading its meaning. You should write the word, the meaning in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create. ____17____ you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), meaning—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner; you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous as he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. If your example sentences have ____18____ to do with your own life, it’s especially good. That can create a ____19____ connection with the new word. This way, you will remember the word much longer and more easily. The next day, ____20____ your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence with the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two easy steps—writing the word and using it right now—help you remember and use the new word. Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now. 11. A. unless B. though C. because D. until 12. A. common B. latest C. strange D. past 13. A. suggestion B. cause C. event D. talent 14. A. appear B. change C. work D. rise 15. A. at last B. in order C. by accident D. at once 16. A. simply B. highly C. widely D. suddenly 17. A. Forget B. Decide C. Believe D. Suppose 18. A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing 19. A. present B. personal C. central D. social 20. A. hand in B. go over C. show off D. look for 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 16. A 17. D 18. A 19. B 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文指出词汇比语法更重要，分析了学单词易遗忘的原因，介绍了用单词本记录、造句、即时运用并及时复习的高效记词方法。 【11题详解】 句意：如果你词汇量丰富，即使语法不完美，也能成功交流。 “词汇量丰富”与“语法不完美”是让步关系，though“即使”符合逻辑。unless“除非”、because“因为”、until“直到”均不符合让步语境。 【12题详解】 句意：然而，一个常见的问题是学习新单词后又忘记。 “学了忘”是词汇学习中普遍存在的现象，common“常见的”符合“普遍问题”的描述。latest“最新的”、strange“奇怪的”、past“过去的”均不符合“普遍”的语境。 【13题详解】 句意：主要原因是大多数学生通过背单词表和词典来学习词汇。 前文问“为什么会发生”，cause“原因”符合“解释原因”的逻辑。suggestion“建议”、event“事件”、talent“天赋”均不符合“原因”的语境。 【14题详解】 句意：但如果记忆力不好，这种方法可能不起作用。 “背单词表”对记忆力差的人无效，work“起作用”符合“方法效果”的描述。appear“出现”、change“改变”、rise“上升”均不符合“方法有效”的逻辑。 【15题详解】 句意：学习词汇并记住的最佳方法是学习新单词并立即使用。 “立即使用”能巩固记忆，at once“立刻”符合“及时运用”的语境。at last“最后”、in order“有序地”、by accident“偶然”均不符合“快速运用”的逻辑。 【16题详解】 句意：写作比单纯阅读单词含义更主动。 simply“单纯地”强调“仅阅读”的被动性，符合“写作更主动”的对比。highly“高度地”、widely“广泛地”、suddenly“突然地”均不符合“单纯阅读”的描述。 【17题详解】 句意：假设你刚学了“generous”这个词。 后文举例说明如何记录单词，Suppose“假设”符合“举例前提”的语境。Forget“忘记”、Decide“决定”、Believe“相信”均不符合“举例假设”的逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：如果你的例句与自己的生活有关，那就特别好。 have something to do with是固定搭配，意为“与……有关”，something符合“关联生活”的逻辑。anything“任何事（否定/疑问）”、everything“一切”、nothing“无关”均不符合搭配。 【19题详解】 句意：这能与新单词建立个人联系。 “与自己生活有关”会形成个人化的记忆连接，personal“个人的”符合“私人关联”的描述。present“现在的”、central“中心的”、social“社会的”均不符合“个人记忆”的语境。 【20题详解】 句意：第二天，再复习你的词汇笔记本，试着用新单词再写一个例句。 go over“复习”符合“巩固记忆”的动作。hand in“上交”、show off“炫耀”、look for“寻找”均不符合“复习笔记”的逻辑。 三、阅读理解（共15小题；21-30小题，每小题2分；31-35题，每小题1分，满分25分） A Slides are simple but always fun. All you need to do is climb up to the top and slide down. But did you know that there is science behind this simple playground equipment (设备)? ① You climb up the slide and sit down. You are ready to go. Are you sliding down? No, not yet. Things stay still (静止) unless something makes them ________. It is Newton’s first law. So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down. ② Now you are sliding down. Do you feel you are slowing down a bit? When two things rub (摩擦) against each other, they cause friction (摩擦力). Without friction, you will slide down faster and faster to the bottom. ③ At the bottom of the slide, you come to a full stop. Your feet touch the ground and add extra friction. Newton’s first law also says moving things keep moving unless something makes them stop. So, if you do not use your feet, you’ll fly off the slide. 21. The best word for the blank is ________. A. Stop B. fly off C. move D. change direction 22. Which picture explains why you slow down a bit when sliding down? A. B. C. D. 23. What is the best title for the passage? A. Fun with a Slide B. Science Behind a Slide C. Newton’s First Law D. Secrets of Gravity 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以滑滑梯为例，通俗易懂地解释了其中蕴含的科学原理，如牛顿第一定律和摩擦力。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Things stay still (静止) unless something makes them…So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down.”可知，静止的物体除非有外力使它“移动”，否则会保持静止。推这一下是为了让身体开始移动。move意为“移动”，符合牛顿第一定律关于物体运动状态改变的描述。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Do you feel you are slowing down a bit? When two things rub (摩擦) against each other, they cause friction (摩擦力).”可知，当你感到速度慢下来时，是因为摩擦力在起作用。图片B中标注了“friction” (摩擦力)，且箭头方向与下滑方向相反，起阻碍作用，解释了减速的原因。故选B。 【23题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章首段“But did you know that there is science behind this simple playground equipment (设备)?”以及图片左上角的标题“Science behind a Slide”可知，全文主要讲述滑梯背后的科学原理。故选B。 B In 1674, I was born on my father’s small farm in Nottinghamshire, England. I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often used to daydream about going to sea. One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to satisfy him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor (水手).” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I married my wife, Mary. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures (冒险) in my life. The captain of a ship that is about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal. “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First, we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said. “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now very strong, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course (航线)!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 24. The underlined word “Antelope” in Paragraph 6 refers to (指代) the name of _________. A. an ocean B. a city C. a ship D. a sailor 25. What’s the right order of the events about Lemuel? ① Lemuel became the doctor of a ship. ② Lemuel married his sweetheart, Mary. ③ Lemuel worked as a doctor for years. ④ Lemuel studied medicine in a university. A. ①④②③ B. ④②③① C. ④②①③ D. ③②①④ 26. What can be inferred (推断) from the article? A. Lemuel had four brothers and two sons. B. The captain had rich sailing experience. C. Lemuel was happy to go to university to study medicine. D. Lemuel’s parents supported Lemuel in becoming a sailor. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述了格列佛的出生背景、学医经历、结婚生子以及最终决定出海冒险的故事。 【24题详解】 第六段提到“So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol.”，意思是1699年，我从布里斯托尔乘坐“Antelope”号启航，说明“Antelope”指的是船的名字。 【25题详解】 文中第三段提到“But as I spoke, I was thinking, ‘At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor (水手).’”，Lemuel先在大学学习医学；由“Not long after, I married my wife, Mary.”可知不久后他和Mary结婚；由“After several years of study, I became a doctor.”“I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years.”可知之后他成为了一名医生并且在婚后继续当了几年医生由“The captain of a ship that is about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor.”可知最后他成为了船上的医生。所以正确顺序是④②③①。 【26题详解】 第六段提到“The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal”，说明船长有丰富的航海经验。 C When Albert Einstein was 16, he imagined travelling beside a beam of light. This creative thought played an important role in helping him develop the world-famous theory of relativity (相对论). Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” He even considered daydreaming as “thought experiments”. Daydreaming allows our minds to think freely about ideas, memories and future plans. It can be imagining space travel, looking forward to a holiday or recalling a happy birthday party. According to Chinese health research, proper daydreaming every day can improve both our health and creativity. When we face difficulties or stress, daydreaming helps our minds relax and reduces worries and fears. For example, practising speaking in class in our imagination can make us feel calmer. It also encourages creativity and lets us explore a world without limits. Guo Qiang, an expert (专家) in thoughts and feelings, suggests that everyone should take time to daydream, as it can greatly shape our feelings in a positive (积极的) way. However, we should not daydream when we need to focus (集中注意力), such as during lessons or crossing the road. We can do it while walking or brushing our teeth, starting with happy memories or imagining future successes. Research shows that people often find better solutions (解决方法) after a short break. So next time you have problems with homework, stop for a moment and let your daydreams bring you new ideas. 27. The writer uses Einstein’s story at the beginning to _________. A. tell readers to study hard like Einstein B. remind readers to learn science well C. interest readers and lead into the topic D. show readers the danger of daydreaming 28. What can daydreaming help people do according to the passage? A. Pay more attention in class. B. Solve problems more easily. C. Make fewer mistakes in daily life. D. Remember everything more clearly. 29. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of creativity in daily life. B. The right way and advantages of daydreaming. C. The secrets of Einstein’s scientific achievement. D. The methods of dealing with difficulties in life. 30. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward daydreaming? A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 【答案】27. C 28. B 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了想象力（尤其是白日梦）对健康和创造力的积极作用，以及如何正确进行白日梦。 【27题详解】 第一段讲述了爱因斯坦做白日梦的故事，接着引出白日梦相关话题，说明作者用爱因斯坦的故事是为了引起读者兴趣并引出主题。 【28题详解】 最后一段提到“Research shows that people often find better solutions (解决方法) after a short break. So next time you have problems with homework, stop for a moment and let your daydreams bring you new ideas”，说明白日梦能帮助人们更容易地解决问题。 【29题详解】 文章先以爱因斯坦做白日梦引出白日梦话题，接着阐述白日梦的作用、好处，还提到做白日梦的正确时间和方式等，所以文章主要是关于做白日梦的正确方式和好处。 【30题详解】 文中提到专家建议大家花时间做白日梦，还说做白日梦能以积极的方式影响我们的情绪等，说明作者对白日梦是支持的态度，即“Supportive”。 D 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Widely considered as one of China’s most ancient games, Go (围棋) has been practiced for over 4,000 years. During the Jin Dynasty, a Buddhist (佛教的) master named Zhi Daolin loved to play Go, finding it full of life’s deep wisdom. He thought people could “talk” by placing pieces on the board. ____31____ Many Go players feel that the game is like real life. Sometimes, a player can move forward quickly. ____32____ Sometimes, they can directly face the challenger. Other times, they must take a different path. Every Go piece is placed carefully, just like how people solve problems in life. ____33____ It’s just as one bad decision in life can lead to unexpected results. That is why experienced players always think deeply before making a move. The purpose of Go is not just to win but also to gain wisdom. Players do not simply try to defeat (打败) each other. ____34____ Go teaches patience, methods and problem-solving skills to help people know what to do when meeting difficulties. ____35____ Some even believe that Go can improve a person’s ability to make decisions in the real world. Go is more than just a game—it is a way to understand life. That is why it has lasted for thousands of years. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Go always has something to teach. A. As a result, they just play Go for fun. B. So he gave Go another name—“hand conversations”. C. A single mistake in Go may change the whole game. D. Other times, they must slow down and wait. E.

As China’s second-longest river, it has long been troubled by pollution and too much sand. However, thanks to environmental protection efforts, its water quality has improved greatly. In 2022, for the first time, the main part of the Yellow River reached Class II water quality. This means the water is clean enough for drinking after proper treatment. This high standard has been kept for years. Numbers show great progress. Since 2018, the percentage of clean water (Class I-III) across the whole river area has gone up from 66.4% to over 90%. At the same time, the dirtiest water (below Class V), which was not fit for any use, is no longer seen. On average, the rate of good water in the area continues to go up every year. These amazing results show the environment of the Yellow River is getting better and better. This great change did not come easily. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the river faced serious environmental problems. Factory waste, agricultural pollution and household wastewater made the river dirty. Many local fish died out, and the water became unsafe to drink, putting millions of people living along the river in danger. To save the “Mother River”, our government took many useful steps. Over 17,000 polluted outlets (排污口) were strictly controlled. The Yellow River Protection Law came into effect in 2023, offering the river long-term support. Besides, large projects to stop soil loss were carried out on the Loess Plateau (黄土高原), and water projects like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped reduce sand in the water. Today, the Yellow River is lively again. Endangered fish have appeared in its waters again, and rare birds like whooper swans now spend winter in the Sanmenxia Reservoir. The “Mother River”, once polluted, is now clear and healthy, bringing hope back to the land and people who depend on it.

If you have a wide vocabulary, you can communicate successfully ____11____ the grammar is not perfect. However, one ____12____ problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Why does this often happen? The main ____13____ is that most students learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not _____14_____ if you don’t have a very good memory. The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words well is to learn new words and use them ____15____. You can do this with a very easy exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than ____16____ reading its meaning. You should write the word, the meaning in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create. ____17____ you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), meaning—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner; you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous as he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. If your example sentences have ____18____ to do with your own life, it’s especially good. That can create a ____19____ connection with the new word. This way, you will remember the word much longer and more easily. The next day, ____20____ your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence with the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two easy steps—writing the word and using it right now—help you remember and use the new word. Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now. 11.

All you need to do is climb up to the top and slide down. But did you know that there is science behind this simple playground equipment (设备)? ① You climb up the slide and sit down. You are ready to go. Are you sliding down? No, not yet. Things stay still (静止) unless something makes them ________. It is Newton’s first law. So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down. ② Now you are sliding down. Do you feel you are slowing down a bit? When two things rub (摩擦) against each other, they cause friction (摩擦力). Without friction, you will slide down faster and faster to the bottom. ③ At the bottom of the slide, you come to a full stop. Your feet touch the ground and add extra friction. Newton’s first law also says moving things keep moving unless something makes them stop. So, if you do not use your feet, you’ll fly off the slide. 21. The best word for the blank is ________. A. Stop B. fly off C. move D. change direction 22. Which picture explains why you slow down a bit when sliding down? A. B. C. D. 23. What is the best title for the passage? A. Fun with a Slide B. Science Behind a Slide C. Newton’s First Law D. Secrets of Gravity B In 1674, I was born on my father’s small farm in Nottinghamshire, England. I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often used to daydream about going to sea. One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to satisfy him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor (水手).” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I married my wife, Mary. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures (冒险) in my life. The captain of a ship that is about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal. “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First, we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said. “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now very strong, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course (航线)!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 24. The underlined word “Antelope” in Paragraph 6 refers to (指代) the name of _________. A. an ocean B. a city C. a ship D. a sailor 25. What’s the right order of the events about Lemuel? ① Lemuel became the doctor of a ship. ② Lemuel married his sweetheart, Mary. ③ Lemuel worked as a doctor for years. ④ Lemuel studied medicine in a university. A. ①④②③ B. ④②③① C. ④②①③ D. ③②①④ 26. What can be inferred (推断) from the article? A. Lemuel had four brothers and two sons. B. The captain had rich sailing experience. C. Lemuel was happy to go to university to study medicine. D. Lemuel’s parents supported Lemuel in becoming a sailor. C When Albert Einstein was 16, he imagined travelling beside a beam of light. This creative thought played an important role in helping him develop the world-famous theory of relativity (相对论). Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” He even considered daydreaming as “thought experiments”. Daydreaming allows our minds to think freely about ideas, memories and future plans. It can be imagining space travel, looking forward to a holiday or recalling a happy birthday party. According to Chinese health research, proper daydreaming every day can improve both our health and creativity. When we face difficulties or stress, daydreaming helps our minds relax and reduces worries and fears. For example, practising speaking in class in our imagination can make us feel calmer. It also encourages creativity and lets us explore a world without limits. Guo Qiang, an expert (专家) in thoughts and feelings, suggests that everyone should take time to daydream, as it can greatly shape our feelings in a positive (积极的) way. However, we should not daydream when we need to focus (集中注意力), such as during lessons or crossing the road. We can do it while walking or brushing our teeth, starting with happy memories or imagining future successes. Research shows that people often find better solutions (解决方法) after a short break. So next time you have problems with homework, stop for a moment and let your daydreams bring you new ideas. 27. The writer uses Einstein’s story at the beginning to _________. A. tell readers to study hard like Einstein B. remind readers to learn science well C. interest readers and lead into the topic D. show readers the danger of daydreaming 28. What can daydreaming help people do according to the passage? A. Pay more attention in class. B. Solve problems more easily. C. Make fewer mistakes in daily life. D. Remember everything more clearly. 29. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of creativity in daily life. B. The right way and advantages of daydreaming. C. The secrets of Einstein’s scientific achievement. D. The methods of dealing with difficulties in life. 30. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward daydreaming? A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. D 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Widely considered as one of China’s most ancient games, Go (围棋) has been practiced for over 4,000 years. During the Jin Dynasty, a Buddhist (佛教的) master named Zhi Daolin loved to play Go, finding it full of life’s deep wisdom. He thought people could “talk” by placing pieces on the board. ____31____ Many Go players feel that the game is like real life. Sometimes, a player can move forward quickly. ____32____ Sometimes, they can directly face the challenger. Other times, they must take a different path. Every Go piece is placed carefully, just like how people solve problems in life. ____33____ It’s just as one bad decision in life can lead to unexpected results. That is why experienced players always think deeply before making a move. The purpose of Go is not just to win but also to gain wisdom. Players do not simply try to defeat (打败) each other. ____34____ Go teaches patience, methods and problem-solving skills to help people know what to do when meeting difficulties. ____35____ Some even believe that Go can improve a person’s ability to make decisions in the real world. Go is more than just a game—it is a way to understand life. That is why it has lasted for thousands of years. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Go always has something to teach. A. As a result, they just play Go for fun. B. So he gave Go another name—“hand conversations”. C. A single mistake in Go may change the whole game. D. Other times, they must slow down and wait. E. However, Go is more suitable for those who are impatient. F. Instead, they work together to create a meaningful game. G. It also helps people develop a calm mind, which is useful in daily life. 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其适当的形式填空（每个词或短语只能用一次） according to strange because of unknown correct strawberry carry out happen to in the way he 36.

Every “yes” leads to a gentle animation (动画)—Grandma slowly walking, smiling, or chatting with her neighbours. The game has no scores, no w____49____ or losers. It only shows the most valuable things: love, patience and care. Every tiny detail in the game comes directly from Zhou’s r____50____ life. In 2024, his 95-year-old grandma fell.

True love is not shown t____55____ beautiful words, but hidden in daily small moments. In this busy world, we often forget to slow down and care for the people around us.
