Surrounded by European culture and home cooking, I grew up with my dad preparing German dishes and my mom making Italian ones. They both taught me about our heritage by sharing stories of my grandparents and their cultural traditions.
Throughout middle and high school, I ate nearly the same meal every day because I worried that failing to fully appreciate a dish might insult (冒犯) someone’s cooking or culture. However, I dropped this mindset by pushing myself to gradually taste new things in college. I wanted to develop my interests in all cultures and delicious cuisines.
When I moved to Philadelphia, my goal was to take advantage of what the city offered, especially its wide selection of food from Asian, Middle-Eastern, Mediterranean and African cuisines. Gradually, I became comfortable trying unfamiliar dishes on my own, a process that proved satisfying. Soon, I found other people to join me. Through meaningful conversations about the joy of exploring different flavors, I made friends who shared the same interest. Since then, I’ve had special encounters with Moroccan, Indian and Korean foods because of the fantastic flavors that are unlike any other food I’ve tasted before.
I’ll never forget my dinner at a Moroccan restaurant called Marrakesh. As a girl who used to eat the same food daily, enjoying a five-course meal there felt like a huge step. We shared plates featuring an eggplant appetizer (开胃小吃), a sweet chicken pastry, a lamb main course and baklava (果仁蜜饼) for dessert. Finally, I found the best way to develop my sense of taste is by sharing plates with friends.
Beyond eating out, I’ve also tried home-cooking dishes from other cultures, and I feel happy to be part of them. Joining friends and family in the kitchen allows me to learn how specific ingredients vary by cuisine and affect overall flavor, making me more knowledgeable about cooking.
I continue expanding my palate and learn about cultures because I can create opportunities for special experiences, enrich my knowledge, and simply eat really good food.
4. What role did family stories play in the author’s early life?
A. They encouraged her to travel to other countries.
B. They connected her to her cultural roots indirectly.
C. They made her feel embarrassed about her heritage.
D. They sparked her interest in cooking traditional meals.
5. What can be inferred about the author’s experience in Philadelphia?
A. She initially struggled to find anyone to eat with.
B. She enjoyed food from European countries at first.
C. She found that shared curiosity developed new friendships.
D. She preferred dining alone to avoid awkward conversations.
6. Why does the author mention her dinner at Marrakesh?
A. To explain a popular cooking method.
B. To show a preference for home-cooking.
C. To stress the importance of sharing food.
D. To support her idea of trying new cuisine.
7. What does the author’s experience show?

D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C
In an increasingly connected world, the variety of cultures has become a key driver for social, economic, and personal growth. Embracing this diversity goes beyond mere tolerance; it includes appreciating and making use of the rich human experiences, beliefs, and traditions that different cultures offer.
One of the most significant advantages of such variety is its ability to develop creativity and innovation. When individuals from different backgrounds work together, they bring a wide range of perspectives and problem-solving approaches. This mix enables teams to think outside the box and develop unique solutions to complex challenges.
Moreover, mixed groups are better equipped to understand and serve global consumers. As companies expand into international markets, having a workforce that reflects the world’s population provides invaluable insights into local customs, preferences, and purchasing behaviors. Consequently, this understanding leads to more effective marketing strategies and product designs.
Beyond business, welcoming different cultures builds empathy (共情) and mutual understanding. As people interact with those from other walks of life, they gain insights into varying worldviews and traditions. This exposure encourages individuals to challenge stereotypes and preconceived (预想的) notions about others. By learning about other cultures, people develop a deeper appreciation for the richness inherent in our differences, becoming more aware of how cultural contexts shape behavior. Such awareness builds respect while also highlighting the values we all share.
The cultivation of empathy extends beyond personal interactions to strengthen society as a whole. Communities that embrace cultural diversity tend to experience reduced levels of conflict caused by misunderstandings or prejudice.
Furthermore, cultural diversity has great effects on economic prosperity. Cities and nations that promote inclusivity often attract international talent and investment. Skilled professionals seeking opportunities are drawn to places known for their acceptance. Over time, this influx of talent helps stimulate the economy by creating jobs and driving innovation.
Organizations that welcome cultural diversity can enhance their brand reputation among consumers who value corporate social responsibility. As consumers increasingly choose brands in line with their values — especially regarding inclusivity — companies that embrace these principles gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
8. What do we know about “embracing cultural diversity”?
A. It involves mixing local traditions with global culture.
B. It focuses mainly on solving economic problems in society.
C. It requires valuing and using differences beyond just accepting them.
D. It means accepting differences without entirely understanding them.
9. Why are mixed groups better for companies entering international markets?
A. They reduce the need for detailed research on local conditions.
B. They tend to accept global standards over specific local needs.
C. They allow members to handle expansion challenges with less effort.
D. They have a better understanding of traditions and consumer habits.
10. What does the underlined word “stereotypes” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Fixed ideas. B. Different opinions. C. Traditional customs. D. Personal preferences.
11. How do inclusive organizations earn a place in the marketplace?
A. By reducing conflicts among communities.
B. By attracting consumers who share their values.
C. By improving product quality to satisfy customers.
D. By hiring talented staff from diverse backgrounds.
D
Bilingualism (双语能力) has long been a subject of fascination for researchers, educators, and linguists alike. We have probably heard the claim — bilingual brains are sharper, more adaptable, and even better at multitasking. While these benefits have been widely recognized, the exact mechanics of what’s going on in a bilingual brain have remained somewhat mysterious. To dig deeper, two researchers from New York University, Sarah Phillips and Liina Pylkkänen, conducted an experiment to observe the brain activity of bilingual individuals who spoke both English and Korean.
Contrary to common belief, the brain of a bilingual person doesn’t necessarily prioritize one language over the other. Instead, it operates in a smooth, language-agnostic (与语言无关的) way. The bilingual brain appears to process information in both languages with remarkable ease, adapting quickly depending on the context.
The most surprising finding from this study was how naturally bilingual brains shifted between languages. The study revealed that the brain activation (激活) patterns of bilinguals were less tied to which language they were using at the moment. This challenges previous assumptions that bilinguals would have specific “mental sections” for each language, switching between them like separate modes.
For example, when switching from Korean to English or vice versa, the brain didn’t “pause” or experience a mental block. Rather, it simply adapted, which could explain why bilingual individuals tend to excel at tasks requiring cognitive flexibility, such as problem-solving and multitasking.
Thus, many parents encourage their kids to learn multiple languages early on, hoping to boost their intellectual development. Research supports this, suggesting that bilingual children tend to outperform their peers who speak only one language in tasks requiring mental flexibility.
Despite these interesting findings, the debate over bilingualism isn’t entirely settled. Some critics argue that the cognitive benefits of speaking two languages are overstated. Additionally, there are concerns about the challenges bilinguals may face, like language confusion. Still, what we do know is that the brain is incredibly adaptable, and that bilingualism appears to be just one of many ways in which our brains develop.
12. Why did Phillips and Pylkkänen conduct the experiment?
A. To encourage people to learn more languages.
B. To figure out the brain activity of bilingual individuals.
C. To examine how early language learning affects children.
D. To test whether Korean is harder to process than English.
13. What can be inferred about bilinguals according to the experiment?
A. They tend to use their mother tongue more.
B. Their brains need time to switch between languages.
C. Different parts of their brains are tied to different languages.
D. They handle both languages through a flexible shared process.
14. How does bilingualism enhance people’s cognitive function?
A. By improving adaptability through language use.
B. By increasing attention control during daily communication.
C. By enlarging the brain’s functional regions through repetition.
D. By strengthening long-term memory during language learning.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the benefits of bilingualism?
A. Highly doubtful. B. Largely indifferent. C. Cautiously supportive. D. Completely convinced.

Do you find yourself wishing that your new cat would be more friendly and trusting of you? ____16____
Offer space for safety and exploration. There will be times when your cat feels insecure, scared, or anxious. Give her a hiding place to go to when she feels frightened, like a closet (壁橱) or spot under the bed. It’s fine to know where it is. ____17____
Give food and water. Feed your cat on a regular basis so she understands that you provide food and shelter. ____18____ This way, she starts recognizing your voice and associating it with something positive, like mealtime.

____19____ Always let your cat come to you, rather than approach her. If you clearly see that your cat appears tense and is watching you intently (专注地), do nothing. Sit very still, preferably with your eyes closed. You’ll be less of a threat this way, and the cat will get used to your presence. If she is ready for contact, she may stay in your sight.
Once your cat trusts you more, spend time playing with her. When your cat often comes to you and purrs, you don’t need to stay low anymore — just sit up and cuddle (搂抱) her. She may even start to sit on your lap, which shows she completely trusts you. ____20____ This will strengthen your cat’s connection to you and she’ll expect this attention from you.
A. Watch for signs that your cat is ready for contact.
B. Make playtime a regular part of your daily routine.

Alex and Emma’s Lake Adventure
“You’ll have a great time at the lake!” Dad said, smiling at his two children, Alex and Emma. “We’ll go fishing and spend time outdoors. You’ll see — it’s going to be a new adventure.” Alex and Emma exchanged glances. They had hoped for a more exciting holiday — maybe a theme park or a city trip. Camping by a quiet lake didn’t appeal to them at all.
When they arrived at Lakeview Cabin (小木屋), their disappointment grew. It smelled damp, dust covered the surfaces, and small insects moved on the window edges. Emma made a face. “I don’t want to stay here. Why can’t we go home?” Alex felt the same. Their parents smiled, saying, “This will be a chance to appreciate nature and learn something new,” but the children ignored them.
After unpacking, Mom and Dad said they would go for a short walk nearby. In reality, they hid among some trees and bushes, quietly watching their children’s reactions. They hoped Alex and Emma would start solving problems on their own, learning to rely on each other and gain confidence. At first, the children panicked. The lake was still, the forest surrounding it seemed endless, and there was no phone signal. They searched through the cabin for food and found only a few potatoes. Hunger and annoyance set in, but they realized they had to work together to survive.
Alex remembered tips from survival videos and set up a small fire. Emma helped arrange stones and gathered sticks. Together, they cooked the potatoes and eventually felt a small sense of accomplishment. They took turns trying to fish with the rods (鱼竿) Dad had left. When they finally caught a fish, their excitement was mixed with pride. They realized that even small successes required patience, teamwork, and courage.
By the next day, Alex and Emma were no longer just upset; they were learning. They searched for potential food sources and improved their fishing skills. They began to understand why their parents had left them alone: to teach them independence and the value of simple efforts.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Alex and Emma watched with mixed emotions as Mom and Dad finally returned to the cabin.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, the family gathered around the fire, ready to share and explore.

B
Surrounded by European culture and home cooking, I grew up with my dad preparing German dishes and my mom making Italian ones. They both taught me about our heritage by sharing stories of my grandparents and their cultural traditions.
Throughout middle and high school, I ate nearly the same meal every day because I worried that failing to fully appreciate a dish might insult (冒犯) someone’s cooking or culture. However, I dropped this mindset by pushing myself to gradually taste new things in college. I wanted to develop my interests in all cultures and delicious cuisines.
When I moved to Philadelphia, my goal was to take advantage of what the city offered, especially its wide selection of food from Asian, Middle-Eastern, Mediterranean and African cuisines. Gradually, I became comfortable trying unfamiliar dishes on my own, a process that proved satisfying. Soon, I found other people to join me. Through meaningful conversations about the joy of exploring different flavors, I made friends who shared the same interest. Since then, I’ve had special encounters with Moroccan, Indian and Korean foods because of the fantastic flavors that are unlike any other food I’ve tasted before.
I’ll never forget my dinner at a Moroccan restaurant called Marrakesh. As a girl who used to eat the same food daily, enjoying a five-course meal there felt like a huge step. We shared plates featuring an eggplant appetizer (开胃小吃), a sweet chicken pastry, a lamb main course and baklava (果仁蜜饼) for dessert. Finally, I found the best way to develop my sense of taste is by sharing plates with friends.
Beyond eating out, I’ve also tried home-cooking dishes from other cultures, and I feel happy to be part of them. Joining friends and family in the kitchen allows me to learn how specific ingredients vary by cuisine and affect overall flavor, making me more knowledgeable about cooking.
I continue expanding my palate and learn about cultures because I can create opportunities for special experiences, enrich my knowledge, and simply eat really good food.

In an increasingly connected world, the variety of cultures has become a key driver for social, economic, and personal growth. Embracing this diversity goes beyond mere tolerance; it includes appreciating and making use of the rich human experiences, beliefs, and traditions that different cultures offer.
One of the most significant advantages of such variety is its ability to develop creativity and innovation. When individuals from different backgrounds work together, they bring a wide range of perspectives and problem-solving approaches. This mix enables teams to think outside the box and develop unique solutions to complex challenges.
Moreover, mixed groups are better equipped to understand and serve global consumers. As companies expand into international markets, having a workforce that reflects the world’s population provides invaluable insights into local customs, preferences, and purchasing behaviors. Consequently, this understanding leads to more effective marketing strategies and product designs.
Beyond business, welcoming different cultures builds empathy (共情) and mutual understanding. As people interact with those from other walks of life, they gain insights into varying worldviews and traditions. This exposure encourages individuals to challenge stereotypes and preconceived (预想的) notions about others. By learning about other cultures, people develop a deeper appreciation for the richness inherent in our differences, becoming more aware of how cultural contexts shape behavior. Such awareness builds respect while also highlighting the values we all share.
The cultivation of empathy extends beyond personal interactions to strengthen society as a whole. Communities that embrace cultural diversity tend to experience reduced levels of conflict caused by misunderstandings or prejudice.
Furthermore, cultural diversity has great effects on economic prosperity. Cities and nations that promote inclusivity often attract international talent and investment. Skilled professionals seeking opportunities are drawn to places known for their acceptance. Over time, this influx of talent helps stimulate the economy by creating jobs and driving innovation.
Organizations that welcome cultural diversity can enhance their brand reputation among consumers who value corporate social responsibility. As consumers increasingly choose brands in line with their values — especially regarding inclusivity — companies that embrace these principles gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
8. What do we know about “embracing cultural diversity”?
A. It involves mixing local traditions with global culture.
B. It focuses mainly on solving economic problems in society.
C. It requires valuing and using differences beyond just accepting them.
D. It means accepting differences without entirely understanding them.
9. Why are mixed groups better for companies entering international markets?
A. They reduce the need for detailed research on local conditions.
B. They tend to accept global standards over specific local needs.
C. They allow members to handle expansion challenges with less effort.
D. They have a better understanding of traditions and consumer habits.
10. What does the underlined word “stereotypes” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Fixed ideas. B. Different opinions. C. Traditional customs. D. Personal preferences.
11. How do inclusive organizations earn a place in the marketplace?
A. By reducing conflicts among communities.
B. By attracting consumers who share their values.
C. By improving product quality to satisfy customers.
D. By hiring talented staff from diverse backgrounds.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍文化多样性的多重价值,分别从创新发展、企业发展、人际共情、社会和谐、经济繁荣等方面展开论述。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Embracing this diversity goes beyond mere tolerance; it includes appreciating and making use of the rich human experiences, beliefs, and traditions that different cultures offer. (拥抱这种多样性不仅仅是包容;它包括欣赏并利用不同文化所提供的丰富人文经历、信仰和传统。)”可知,拥抱文化多样性不仅是接受差异,还要重视并利用这些差异。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As companies expand into international markets, having a workforce that reflects the world’s population provides invaluable insights into local customs, preferences, and purchasing behaviors. (当企业拓展国际市场时,拥有多元背景的员工能够深入了解当地习俗、偏好以及消费行为。)”可知,多元团队更了解当地传统和消费者习惯,有利于企业开拓国际市场。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“This exposure encourages individuals to challenge stereotypes and preconceived notions about others. (这种接触鼓励人们去挑战对他人的stereotypes和预先设想的看法)”可知,stereotypes与preconceived notions并列,指的是“固有看法”。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As consumers increasingly choose brands in line with their values — especially regarding inclusivity — companies that embrace these principles gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. (消费者越来越愿意选择符合自身价值观的品牌,尤其是包容理念,践行该理念的企业能在市场中获得竞争优势)”可知,包容型企业吸引认同其价值观的消费者,从而立足市场。

Bilingualism (双语能力) has long been a subject of fascination for researchers, educators, and linguists alike. We have probably heard the claim — bilingual brains are sharper, more adaptable, and even better at multitasking. While these benefits have been widely recognized, the exact mechanics of what’s going on in a bilingual brain have remained somewhat mysterious. To dig deeper, two researchers from New York University, Sarah Phillips and Liina Pylkkänen, conducted an experiment to observe the brain activity of bilingual individuals who spoke both English and Korean.
Contrary to common belief, the brain of a bilingual person doesn’t necessarily prioritize one language over the other. Instead, it operates in a smooth, language-agnostic (与语言无关的) way. The bilingual brain appears to process information in both languages with remarkable ease, adapting quickly depending on the context.
The most surprising finding from this study was how naturally bilingual brains shifted between languages. The study revealed that the brain activation (激活) patterns of bilinguals were less tied to which language they were using at the moment. This challenges previous assumptions that bilinguals would have specific “mental sections” for each language, switching between them like separate modes.
For example, when switching from Korean to English or vice versa, the brain didn’t “pause” or experience a mental block. Rather, it simply adapted, which could explain why bilingual individuals tend to excel at tasks requiring cognitive flexibility, such as problem-solving and multitasking.
Thus, many parents encourage their kids to learn multiple languages early on, hoping to boost their intellectual development. Research supports this, suggesting that bilingual children tend to outperform their peers who speak only one language in tasks requiring mental flexibility.
Despite these interesting findings, the debate over bilingualism isn’t entirely settled. Some critics argue that the cognitive benefits of speaking two languages are overstated. Additionally, there are concerns about the challenges bilinguals may face, like language confusion. Still, what we do know is that the brain is incredibly adaptable, and that bilingualism appears to be just one of many ways in which our brains develop.
12. Why did Phillips and Pylkkänen conduct the experiment?
A. To encourage people to learn more languages.
B. To figure out the brain activity of bilingual individuals.
C. To examine how early language learning affects children.
D. To test whether Korean is harder to process than English.
13. What can be inferred about bilinguals according to the experiment?
A. They tend to use their mother tongue more.
B. Their brains need time to switch between languages.
C. Different parts of their brains are tied to different languages.
D. They handle both languages through a flexible shared process.
14. How does bilingualism enhance people’s cognitive function?
A. By improving adaptability through language use.
B. By increasing attention control during daily communication.
C. By enlarging the brain’s functional regions through repetition.
D. By strengthening long-term memory during language learning.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the benefits of bilingualism?
A. Highly doubtful. B. Largely indifferent. C. Cautiously supportive. D. Completely convinced.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了双语能力对大脑的影响,包括双语者大脑的活动特点、双语能力如何提升认知功能,以及作者对双语能力益处的态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To dig deeper, two researchers from New York University, Sarah Phillips and Liina Pylkkänen, conducted an experiment to observe the brain activity of bilingual individuals who spoke both English and Korean. (为了深入研究,纽约大学的两位研究人员莎拉·菲利普斯和莉娜·皮尔凯宁进行了一项实验,观察会说英语和韩语的双语者的大脑活动。)”可知,菲利普斯和皮尔凯宁进行实验是为了弄清楚双语者的大脑活动。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead, it operates in a smooth, language-agnostic (与语言无关的) way. The bilingual brain appears to process information in both languages with remarkable ease, adapting quickly depending on the context. (相反,它以一种流畅的、与语言无关的方式运作。双语大脑似乎能以非凡的轻松程度处理两种语言的信息,并根据上下文迅速适应。)”以及第三段“The study revealed that the brain activation (激活) patterns of bilinguals were less tied to which language they were using at the moment. (研究揭示,双语者的大脑激活模式与他们当时使用的语言关系较小。)”可知,双语者通过灵活的共享过程处理两种语言。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, when switching from Korean to English or vice versa, the brain didn’t “pause” or experience a mental block. Rather, it simply adapted, which could explain why bilingual individuals tend to excel at tasks requiring cognitive flexibility, such as problem-solving and multitasking. (例如,当从韩语切换到英语或反之时,大脑不会“暂停”或经历思维障碍。相反,它只是适应了,这可以解释为什么双语者在需要认知灵活性的任务中表现出色,比如解决问题和多任务处理。)”可知,双语能力通过语言使用提高适应性,从而增强人们的认知功能。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these interesting findings, the debate over bilingualism isn’t entirely settled. Some critics argue that the cognitive benefits of speaking two languages are overstated. Additionally, there are concerns about the challenges bilinguals may face, like language confusion. Still, what we do know is that the brain is incredibly adaptable, and that bilingualism appears to be just one of many ways in which our brains develop. (尽管这些发现很有趣,但关于双语能力的争论还没有完全平息。一些批评者认为,说两种语言对认知的益处被夸大了。此外,还有人担心双语者可能面临的挑战,比如语言混淆。尽管如此,我们所知道的是,大脑具有令人难以置信的适应性,而双语能力似乎只是我们大脑发展的众多方式之一。)”可知,作者对双语能力的益处持谨慎支持的态度。故选C项。

44. but##and

【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了明代著名山水画家戴进,他在复兴起源于南宋的马夏山水画风格方面发挥了重要作用,这种风格后来被称为浙派。文章还对比了浙派与以沈周为首的吴派的不同特点,并阐述了戴进在绘画创作上的独特风格。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他在复兴起源于南宋的马夏山水画风格方面发挥了重要作用。“play an important part in...”是固定短语,意为“在……中发挥重要作用”,所以用不定冠词an。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他在复兴起源于南宋的马夏山水画风格方面发挥了重要作用。空处作介词in的宾语,需用动名词形式reviving。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他在复兴起源于南宋的马夏山水画风格方面发挥了重要作用。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the Ma-Xia style of landscape painting”,指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词which引导。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种风格后来被称为浙派,以浙江省命名。“name”与逻辑主语“This style”之间是动宾关系,需用过去分词,作后置定语。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:与以沈周为首的吴派相比,浙派的画家被视为“专业”艺术家。设空处为谓语,此处描述过去的情况,用一般过去时,主语“the painters of the Zhe school”和“regard”之间是被动关系,需用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:相比之下,吴派艺术家通常被贴上“业余爱好者”的标签,他们更强调在绘画中表达个人情感和思想。“be labeled as...”是固定短语,意为“被贴上……的标签”。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:相比之下,吴派艺术家通常被贴上“业余爱好者”的标签,他们更强调在绘画中表达个人情感和思想。根据语境可知,此处是将浙派和吴派进行对比,强调吴派更注重表达个人情感和思想,需用形容词比较级greater。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:就像他那个时代的其他有创造力的艺术家一样,他从过去汲取灵感,并将其作为创造新事物的跳板。空处修饰名词“artists”,需用形容词creative作定语,意为“有创造力的”。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:就像他那个时代的其他有创造力的艺术家一样,他从过去汲取灵感,并/或将其作为创造新事物的跳板。“took inspiration from the past”和“used it as a springboard (跳板) to create something fresh”之间是并列或转折关系,可用but或and连接。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他的作品似乎结合了不同的部分,而不是像许多其他画作那样有一个单一的完整场景。“seem to do sth.”是固定短语,意为“似乎做某事”,空处需填动词不定式to combine。

第二节(满分25分)
57. 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。
Alex and Emma’s Lake Adventure
“You’ll have a great time at the lake!” Dad said, smiling at his two children, Alex and Emma. “We’ll go fishing and spend time outdoors. You’ll see — it’s going to be a new adventure.” Alex and Emma exchanged glances. They had hoped for a more exciting holiday — maybe a theme park or a city trip. Camping by a quiet lake didn’t appeal to them at all.
When they arrived at Lakeview Cabin (小木屋), their disappointment grew. It smelled damp, dust covered the surfaces, and small insects moved on the window edges. Emma made a face. “I don’t want to stay here. Why can’t we go home?” Alex felt the same. Their parents smiled, saying, “This will be a chance to appreciate nature and learn something new,” but the children ignored them.
After unpacking, Mom and Dad said they would go for a short walk nearby. In reality, they hid among some trees and bushes, quietly watching their children’s reactions. They hoped Alex and Emma would start solving problems on their own, learning to rely on each other and gain confidence. At first, the children panicked. The lake was still, the forest surrounding it seemed endless, and there was no phone signal. They searched through the cabin for food and found only a few potatoes. Hunger and annoyance set in, but they realized they had to work together to survive.
Alex remembered tips from survival videos and set up a small fire. Emma helped arrange stones and gathered sticks. Together, they cooked the potatoes and eventually felt a small sense of accomplishment. They took turns trying to fish with the rods (鱼竿) Dad had left. When they finally caught a fish, their excitement was mixed with pride. They realized that even small successes required patience, teamwork, and courage.
By the next day, Alex and Emma were no longer just upset; they were learning. They searched for potential food sources and improved their fishing skills. They began to understand why their parents had left them alone: to teach them independence and the value of simple efforts.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Alex and Emma watched with mixed emotions as Mom and Dad finally returned to the cabin.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, the family gathered around the fire, ready to share and explore.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Alex and Emma watched with mixed emotions as Mom and Dad finally returned to the cabin. Relief, pride, and a touch of disbelief ran through them — they had faced the challenges alone and discovered their own strength. “We did it,” Alex said proudly. Emma added, “We learned to be patient and work together!” Their parents hugged them tightly, impressed by their growth. The children excitedly shared the problems they had solved, the small mistakes they had corrected, and the victories that built their confidence.
That evening, the family gathered around the fire, ready to share and explore. Alex showed his parents how he had made a simple fishing trap, while Emma recounted how she helped her brother. Their parents guided them gently, suggesting improvements and praising their creativity. The children felt a deeper connection with their parents and a sense of pride in what they had accomplished. The lake, once frustrating, had become a place of growth, discovery, and lasting family memories. They knew this was a holiday they would never forget.
