Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.
The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.
It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.
So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.
Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it.
4. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired.
5. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________.
A. elderly people have a failing memory
B. modern machines are poorly designed
C. technology changes seniors’ living habits
D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life
6. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4?
A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise.
B. He considers the online video unhelpful.
C. He worries about life without reminders.
D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself.
7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge?
A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise.
C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note.
C
The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study.
The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.
It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion.
O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.
But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life.
8. What does the study encourage children to do?
A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays.
C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage.
9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Its procedure. B. Its background.
C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing?
A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth.
C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination.
11. What can be learned from the text?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best.
C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind.
D
At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.
We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. A study found people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking.
So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.
Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.
Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world.
Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful.
12. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”?
A. It does harm to people’s health.
B. It helps people to avoid boredom.
C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life.
D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment.
13. What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate?
A. Phone addiction is avoidable.
B. Daydreaming is undervalued.
C. Being alone promotes learning.
D. Self-reflection defines humans.
14. What does the default mode suggest?
A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity.
B. Intentional effort brings new ideas.
C. Complex tasks require active minds.
D. Routines involve little brain activity.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age
B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone
C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind
D. Explore Secret Benefits of Social Daydreaming

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。
Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____16____
Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____17____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.
Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____18____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would.
____19____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.
In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____20____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.
A. However, we do it less as we grow older.
B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated.
C. Here are some ways to put it into practice.
D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess.
E. It can be useful in many different situations in life.
F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable.
G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge.

When I finally arrived, my grandmother treated the wound with warm turmeric. Seeing my downcast eyes, she whispered, “The mark on your face isn’t a sign of failure, but a proof of your _____31_____. You stood where others wouldn’t.” Her words _____32_____ me faster than the medicine.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 2005, my husband Meherwan and I took a leap of faith. We moved with our 3-year-old daughter, Aria, from the bustling streets of San Francisco to Asheville, a small Appalachian town. To me, relocating from a major international city to the mountains seemed like a “wild experiment”, filled with the unknown.
However, Asheville quickly got its hooks into us. We opened a restaurant, and soon discovered that life here felt “real”. During a local festival, I watched Aria run to embrace a stranger of her age, while around them, punk-rock cooks and elderly people from all walks of life held hands in a community dance. I realized then that people moved here to rediscover community and look out for each other. We had found our “forever roots” in this unique haven of openness and tolerance.
But our bond was tested on September 27, 2024, when Hurricane Helene struck with record-breaking quantities of rain. We awoke to a world of utter devastation. Ankle-deep streams had turned into wild rivers, smashing homes and businesses. The ruin was complete: roads were washed out, power lines were down, and we were cut off from the rest of the world. No cell service, no Internet, no running water — only the frightening silence of isolation. Refusing to sit still and grieve, Meherwan and I gathered a small crew at our restaurant. We had thrived here for nineteen years, and now it was time to give back. By the second day, we began cooking for our neighbors, despite the lack of resources. We weren’t just serving food; we were trying to sustain the spirit of our town.
While we were busy in the kitchen, I looked up to see a group of kids wandering in on their bikes. They weren’t looking for a handout but rather to give a hand. With their boots covered in mud, they stood ready. “We want to help,” one of them said firmly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I nodded and assigned the young volunteers to the sandwich station.

Soon, similar scenes of support were playing out all over the city.

Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.
The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.
It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.
So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.
Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it.
4. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired.
5. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________.
A. elderly people have a failing memory

A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise.
B. He considers the online video unhelpful.
C. He worries about life without reminders.
D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself.
7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge?

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.(如果我把冰箱门半开着,毁掉了一份昂贵的烤肉怎么办?如果我错过了提醒我可能会忘记的约会的通知怎么办?没有提醒的生活后果可能太严重,不能冒险)”可推知,作者担心没有提醒会带来不良后果。故选C。
【7题详解】

C
The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study.
The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.
It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion.
O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.
But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life.
8. What does the study encourage children to do?
A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays.
C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage.
9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Its procedure. B. Its background.
C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing?
A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth.
C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination.
11. What can be learned from the text?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best.
C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. B

At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.
We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. A study found people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking.
So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.
Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.
Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world.
Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful.
12. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”?
A. It does harm to people’s health.
B. It helps people to avoid boredom.
C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life.
D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment.
13. What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate?
A. Phone addiction is avoidable.
B. Daydreaming is undervalued.
C. Being alone promotes learning.
D. Self-reflection defines humans.
14. What does the default mode suggest?
A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity.
B. Intentional effort brings new ideas.
C. Complex tasks require active minds.
D. Routines involve little brain activity.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age
B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone
C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind
D. Explore Secret Benefits of Social Daydreaming

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning.(社会心理学教授艾琳・韦斯特盖特将无意义的刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”—— 能带来片刻愉悦,却毫无深层价值。)”可知,艾琳·韦斯特盖特将无意识的刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”是因为它带来的是快速但肤浅的享受。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.(在2022年的一项研究中,人们预测他们会讨厌20分钟什么都不做的独处,但事后报告的享受程度比预期的要高。根据研究人员村山浩的说法,在精神上漫游的能力——反思过去的经历,考虑他人的观点——是一种明显的人类能力,可以促进学习并帮助理解他人。)”可知,2022年的研究被用来证明白日梦被低估了。故选B。

Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____16____
Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____17____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.
Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____18____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would.
____19____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.
In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____20____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.
A. However, we do it less as we grow older.
B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated.
C. Here are some ways to put it into practice.
D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess.
E. It can be useful in many different situations in life.
F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable.
G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. A

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了南开大学学者米沙·塔德历经努力,重新发现并出版了在大英图书馆尘封300多年的《道德经》拉丁文译本,讲述了他与《道德经》的渊源、寻找及整理译本的过程,并提及《道德经》虽植根于中国,却具有全球影响力。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一部尘封在大英图书馆300多年的《道德经》拉丁文译本,近日在南开大学学者米沙·塔德的努力下被重新发现并出版。名词translation与动词forget之间为被动关系,需用过去分词作后置定语,故填forgotten。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:塔德说:“与植根于春秋时期(公元前770-476年)传统和礼制的《论语》不同,《道德经》不涉及具体的姓名、地点或社会制度。”“be rooted in”为固定搭配,意为“植根于,源于”,句子描述客观事实,需用一般现在时的被动语态,主语which指代The Analects of Confucius,为单数,故填is rooted。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:塔德说:“与植根于春秋时期(公元前770-476年)传统和礼制的《论语》不同,《道德经》不涉及具体的姓名、地点或社会制度。”否定句中,并列成分用or连接,此处连接names, places和social systems,符合语义逻辑,故填or。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:塔德与《道德经》的缘分始于14岁,当时他在美国一个小镇的图书馆里偶然发现了一个英文译本。“come across”为固定搭配,意为“偶然遇见,发现”,故填across。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:那次偶然的邂逅点燃了他对中国文化一种独特的兴趣。此处泛指“一种独特的兴趣”,one-of-a-kind以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a,故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:多年后,在研究柏拉图《理想国》的拉丁文译本时,塔德想知道《道德经》是否也能被翻译成拉丁文。while引导的时间状语从句中,主语Tadd与动词study之间为主动关系,且从句主语与主句主语一致,可省略主语和be动词,用现在分词形式作状语,故填studying。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句关系副词。句意:他的搜索最终把他带到了大英图书馆,在那里他发现了这部著作的拉丁文手稿,由早期传教士翻译而成。先行词为the British Library,指地点,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,需用关系副词where引导,故填where。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他发现手稿的部分内容已经褪色且不完整,直到2022年他才获得了这部作品的完整数字扫描件。根据前文“faded”及语境可知,此处表示“不完整的”,complete的否定形式是incomplete,意为“不完整的”,符合语境,故填incomplete。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:“这需要持久的耐心,”塔德说。形容词enduring后需接名词作requires的宾语,patient的名词形式是patience,意为“耐心”,为不可数名词,故填patience。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:《道德经》的思想体系植根于中国,但它的解读和影响现在已真正具有全球性。形容词global需用副词修饰,true的副词形式是truly,意为“真正地”,故填truly。

Dear teacher and classmates,
Good morning. Today, I want to talk about protecting public property, especially our desks in the classroom.
Recently, I was saddened to find our classroom desks in a terrible state. The once clean and tidy surfaces are now covered with random drawings, messy scribbles and even deep scratches. These marks not only ruin the beauty of our classroom but also affect our learning mood, showing a lack of respect for school property.

第二节(25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 2005, my husband Meherwan and I took a leap of faith. We moved with our 3-year-old daughter, Aria, from the bustling streets of San Francisco to Asheville, a small Appalachian town. To me, relocating from a major international city to the mountains seemed like a “wild experiment”, filled with the unknown.
However, Asheville quickly got its hooks into us. We opened a restaurant, and soon discovered that life here felt “real”. During a local festival, I watched Aria run to embrace a stranger of her age, while around them, punk-rock cooks and elderly people from all walks of life held hands in a community dance. I realized then that people moved here to rediscover community and look out for each other. We had found our “forever roots” in this unique haven of openness and tolerance.
But our bond was tested on September 27, 2024, when Hurricane Helene struck with record-breaking quantities of rain. We awoke to a world of utter devastation. Ankle-deep streams had turned into wild rivers, smashing homes and businesses. The ruin was complete: roads were washed out, power lines were down, and we were cut off from the rest of the world. No cell service, no Internet, no running water — only the frightening silence of isolation. Refusing to sit still and grieve, Meherwan and I gathered a small crew at our restaurant. We had thrived here for nineteen years, and now it was time to give back. By the second day, we began cooking for our neighbors, despite the lack of resources. We weren’t just serving food; we were trying to sustain the spirit of our town.
While we were busy in the kitchen, I looked up to see a group of kids wandering in on their bikes. They weren’t looking for a handout but rather to give a hand. With their boots covered in mud, they stood ready. “We want to help,” one of them said firmly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I nodded and assigned the young volunteers to the sandwich station.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, similar scenes of support were playing out all over the city.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I nodded and assigned the young volunteers to the sandwich station. The kitchen, once a place for business, was now a hub of hope. The kids dove into action, their small hands moving quickly as they wrapped sandwiches. I watched them scribble hearts and “Stay Strong” on each package — a simple gesture that deeply moved me. Despite the heat and lack of power, the kitchen was filled with hope. Together, we distributed warm meals to elderly neighbors and workers clearing fallen trees. Seeing their weary faces light up when the children handed them food, I felt a warmth that no storm could ever wash away.
Soon, similar scenes of support were playing out all over the city. From the local bookstore turned into a relief center to neighbors, Asheville was breathing as one. I heard stories of strangers with chainsaws clearing paths for those trapped, and families opening their doors to anyone in need. It was exactly like that community dance years ago — people from all walks of life holding hands to pull each other through the mud. While the storm had washed away our roads and cell signals, it had failed to break the invisible bond between us. We weren’t just a town; we were a family that no storm could ever shake.
