Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science.
I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions.
After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas.
Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life.
4. Why did the author almost quit her Ph.D. according to paragraph 1?
A. She disliked lab discussions. B. She lacked future plans in science.
C. She messed up her presentation. D. She struggled with language barriers.
5. What was the turning point for the author during her Ph.D. studies?
A. Her embarrassing presentation.
B. Returning to her hometown to run a lab.
C. The senior lab member’s supportive remark.
D. Moving to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland.
6. Which word would best describe the author as a teacher?
A. Inspirational. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Authoritative.
7. What does the underlined phrase “cross the bridge” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Travel between countries for education. B. Change from a student to a professor.
C. Grow from uncertainty to confidence. D. Build bonds between professors and students.
C
Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising executive who ran a fast-food chain account, and yet dreamed of being a novelist instead. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see the adman on TV, holding up his new book. He has since published more than 100 New York Times best sellers and co-authored books with the likes of Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.
Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”. It describes how people envision their futures: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear becoming.
The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept and self-perception. While self-concepts — “I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent” — are rooted in the present, the researchers found that people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change.
These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive (feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. And researchers have found that constructing positive possible selves can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of depression by holding out the potential for a better future.
A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often fleeting and not necessarily grounded in reality. It can take shape “if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to the possible self,” Dr. Markus said. But how do we construct that bridge?
8. Why is James Patterson mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To tell a story. B. To inspire the readers.
C. To reveal the topic. D. To introduce the figure.
9. Which of the following is an example of one’s “possible selves”?
A. I am a diligent student. B. I want to travel abroad.
C. I could have become a dentist. D. I worry about being lonely.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Those who fear failure may end up being a loser.
B. Knowing what can be achieved benefits mental health.
C. A clear ambition guarantees one’s success in the future.
D. A positive possible self is more motivating than a negative one.
11. What might be mentioned in the following paragraph?
A. How to create more possibilities. B. How to realise one’s potential.
C. How to build spiritual connections. D. How to cultivate self-awareness.
D
The ocean is home to numerous small floating organisms called zooplankton (浮游动物), some measuring as tiny as 0.04 inches long. They spend most of their lives asleep, deep in the ocean. New research has shined a light on how these little creatures are important for helping to protect the planet against global warming. Led by scientists from China, the UK and Canada, the research focused on the Southern Ocean, also known as the Antarctic Ocean, which is about one sixteenth of Earth’s total ocean area.
The team studied zooplankton like krill (磷虾), which eat tiny plant-like organisms called phytoplankton (浮游植物) near the sea’s surface. These phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps the Sun’s heat in the atmosphere and contributes to climate change. In winter, the zooplankton sink about 1,600 feet below the ocean surface and slowly breathe out the carbon dioxide from the phytoplankton they have eaten, releasing it into the water. This process, called the “seasonal migrant pump”, transports more than 70 million tons of carbon to areas far below the ocean’s surface annually.
Because the zooplankton are so deep down, the gas they release takes many years — sometimes even centuries — to rise to the surface and enter Earth’s atmosphere. Angus Atkinson, who worked on the study, explained that without the seasonal migrant pump, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be double what they are now.
Guang Yang, another researcher, said zooplankton are “unsung heroes” of carbon storage. The team hopes the study will encourage scientists to include zooplankton in their calculations of how much carbon is stored around the world. It also highlights the importance of protecting the Southern Ocean, where krill are under threat from fishing. Companies fish for krill as they are used in products like health supplements and fish food. Activists are concerned that overharvesting could affect the food chain in the ocean, noting that krill are not only a food source for whales, seals and seabirds but also help fight climate change.
12. What is the focus of the research?
A. The threat of krill fishing to Antarctica’s food chain.
B. The living habits of zooplankton in the Southern Ocean.
C. The new method of measuring carbon storage in oceans.
D. The role of tiny ocean creatures in slowing global warming.
13. What can we know about the “seasonal migrant pump” process?
A. The whole process happens only in winter.
B. Carbon is taken far below the ocean’s surface.
C. Zooplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere.
D. Phytoplankton release carbon dioxide in the ocean.
14. Why does carbon dioxide stay in the ocean for a long time?
A. Because it is breathed out slowly. B. Because it is transported too deep.
C. Because it is released into the water. D. Because it is absorbed by phytoplankton.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Zooplankton: victims of global warming B. Phytoplankton: silent migrant heroes
C. Zooplankton: unnoticed climate regulators D. Phytoplankton: signs of seasonal migration
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A. Overuse harms professionalism.
B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane’s family used to live in a modest but cozy house on a quiet street in New York. A white wooden door stood at the entrance, slightly worn from years of use, and two wide windows faced the street, letting in soft morning light. In front of the house grew an old maple tree, whose shade covered the yard every summer and whose red leaves always announced the arrival of autumn. It was not the size of the house that mattered, but the sense of belonging it gave to everyone who lived there.
Everything was taken away in a single night. A sudden wildfire swept through the area, moving faster than anyone had expected. Jane and her parents escaped with only a few personal belongings. When they were finally allowed to return, nothing remained but ashes and broken walls. Their home, along with everything inside it, was gone forever.
Since then, the family had been staying in a government-arranged temporary shelter. The room was clean but cold, and it never truly felt like home. Jane noticed that her parents spoke less and smiled less. Her mother often stared silently out of the window, while her father tried to stay busy, as if work could keep his sadness away. The coming of winter only made things harder.
As Christmas drew near, the shelter was decorated with simple lights, but the holiday spirit felt distant to Jane’s family. In the past, this was the season when her parents would put up decorations and play music at home. Now, those traditions seemed painfully far away. Seeing her parents’ low spirits, Jane felt a deep ache in her heart. She wished she could do something to bring back even a small part of what they had lost.
One evening, while scrolling through her phone, Jane came across a post shared online. It was about an artist who offered to paint pictures of homes destroyed in the New York fire, free of charge, so that families could keep a lasting memory of what they had lost. At the end of the post, a simple note caught her eye: “If you need help, you may contact me at the number below.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
An idea slowly formed in her mind.

Gently, Jane handed the newly received painting to her parents.

Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science.
I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions.
After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas.
Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life.

Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising executive who ran a fast-food chain account, and yet dreamed of being a novelist instead. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see the adman on TV, holding up his new book. He has since published more than 100 New York Times best sellers and co-authored books with the likes of Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.
Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”. It describes how people envision their futures: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear becoming.
The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept and self-perception. While self-concepts — “I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent” — are rooted in the present, the researchers found that people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change.
These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive (feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. And researchers have found that constructing positive possible selves can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of depression by holding out the potential for a better future.
A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often fleeting and not necessarily grounded in reality. It can take shape “if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to the possible self,” Dr. Markus said. But how do we construct that bridge?
8. Why is James Patterson mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To tell a story. B. To inspire the readers.
C. To reveal the topic. D. To introduce the figure.
9. Which of the following is an example of one’s “possible selves”?
A. I am a diligent student. B. I want to travel abroad.
C. I could have become a dentist. D. I worry about being lonely.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Those who fear failure may end up being a loser.
B. Knowing what can be achieved benefits mental health.
C. A clear ambition guarantees one’s success in the future.
D. A positive possible self is more motivating than a negative one.
11. What might be mentioned in the following paragraph?
A. How to create more possibilities. B. How to realise one’s potential.
C. How to build spiritual connections. D. How to cultivate self-awareness.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising executive who ran a fast-food chain account, and yet dreamed of being a novelist instead. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see the adman on TV, holding up his new book. He has since published more than 100 New York Times best sellers and co-authored books with the likes of Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.(多年前,我还是一名年轻的商业记者时,采访过James Patterson。他当时是一名广告主管,负责一家快餐连锁品牌的业务,却梦想着成为一名小说家。 我记得当时心里还在想:是啊,你和其他人都这么想。 然而大约十年后,我惊讶地在电视上看到这位广告人,手里举着他的新书。从那以后,他出版了100多本登上《纽约时报》畅销书榜的作品,还与Bill Clinton、Dolly Parton等名人合著过书)”可知,作者讲述James Patterson从广告人成为畅销作家的例子,结合第二段“Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”.(Patterson先生将自己视为作家的这种能力,阐释了一个被称为“可能自我”的概念)”可知,第一段提到James Patterson是为了揭示文章主题。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“It describes how people envision their futures: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear becoming.(它描述了人们如何设想自己的未来:他们可能成为什么样的人、想要成为什么样的人,甚至是害怕成为什么样的人)”可知,选项D“我担心会孤独”符合“可能的自我”中“害怕成为什么”这一描述。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“And researchers have found that constructing positive possible selves can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of depression by holding out the potential for a better future.(研究人员发现,构建积极的可能自我,能够通过展现美好未来的可能性,提升幸福感并缓解抑郁症状)”可知,知道自己可以实现什么对心理健康有益。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often fleeting and not necessarily grounded in reality. It can take shape “if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to the possible self,” Dr. Markus said. But how do we construct that bridge?(“可能自我”能让你超越空想——那些空想往往转瞬即逝,且不一定扎根现实。马库斯博士说:如果你在“当下的自己”和“可能的自我”之间架起一座桥梁,它就能成形。但我们该如何搭建这座桥梁呢?)”可知,下文会讲如何构建从现在的自我到可能的自我之间的桥梁,即如何实现自己的潜能。故选B。
D
The ocean is home to numerous small floating organisms called zooplankton (浮游动物), some measuring as tiny as 0.04 inches long. They spend most of their lives asleep, deep in the ocean. New research has shined a light on how these little creatures are important for helping to protect the planet against global warming. Led by scientists from China, the UK and Canada, the research focused on the Southern Ocean, also known as the Antarctic Ocean, which is about one sixteenth of Earth’s total ocean area.
The team studied zooplankton like krill (磷虾), which eat tiny plant-like organisms called phytoplankton (浮游植物) near the sea’s surface. These phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps the Sun’s heat in the atmosphere and contributes to climate change. In winter, the zooplankton sink about 1,600 feet below the ocean surface and slowly breathe out the carbon dioxide from the phytoplankton they have eaten, releasing it into the water. This process, called the “seasonal migrant pump”, transports more than 70 million tons of carbon to areas far below the ocean’s surface annually.
Because the zooplankton are so deep down, the gas they release takes many years — sometimes even centuries — to rise to the surface and enter Earth’s atmosphere. Angus Atkinson, who worked on the study, explained that without the seasonal migrant pump, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be double what they are now.
Guang Yang, another researcher, said zooplankton are “unsung heroes” of carbon storage. The team hopes the study will encourage scientists to include zooplankton in their calculations of how much carbon is stored around the world. It also highlights the importance of protecting the Southern Ocean, where krill are under threat from fishing. Companies fish for krill as they are used in products like health supplements and fish food. Activists are concerned that overharvesting could affect the food chain in the ocean, noting that krill are not only a food source for whales, seals and seabirds but also help fight climate change.
12. What is the focus of the research?
A. The threat of krill fishing to Antarctica’s food chain.
B. The living habits of zooplankton in the Southern Ocean.
C. The new method of measuring carbon storage in oceans.
D. The role of tiny ocean creatures in slowing global warming.
13. What can we know about the “seasonal migrant pump” process?
A. The whole process happens only in winter.
B. Carbon is taken far below the ocean’s surface.
C. Zooplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere.
D. Phytoplankton release carbon dioxide in the ocean.
14. Why does carbon dioxide stay in the ocean for a long time?
A. Because it is breathed out slowly. B. Because it is transported too deep.
C. Because it is released into the water. D. Because it is absorbed by phytoplankton.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Zooplankton: victims of global warming B. Phytoplankton: silent migrant heroes
C. Zooplankton: unnoticed climate regulators D. Phytoplankton: signs of seasonal migration
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了浮游动物在减缓全球变暖中所起的重要作用以及相关研究情况。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This process, called the “seasonal migrant pump”, transports more than 70 million tons of carbon to areas far below the ocean’s surface annually. (这一过程被称为“季节性迁移泵”,每年将超过7000万吨的碳输送到远低于海洋表面的区域)”可知,“季节性迁移泵”过程将碳输送到远低于海洋表面的区域。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Because the zooplankton are so deep down, the gas they release takes many years — sometimes even centuries — to rise to the surface and enter Earth’s atmosphere. (因为浮游动物在很深的地方,它们释放的气体需要很多年——有时甚至几个世纪——才能上升到表面并进入地球大气层)”可知,二氧化碳在海洋中停留很长时间是因为它被输送到太深的地方。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research has shined a light on how these little creatures are important for helping to protect the planet against global warming. (新的研究揭示了这些小生物在帮助保护地球免受全球变暖影响方面的重要性)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了浮游动物在减缓全球变暖方面的重要作用,但它们却未受到足够关注。C项“Zooplankton: unnoticed climate regulators (浮游动物:未受关注的气候调节者)”最符合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选C。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A. Overuse harms professionalism.
B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.

【答案】One possible version 1:
Dear Jenny,
I’m writing to share my opinion on the two speech topics for our class English speech contest. From my perspective, “The Beauty of Art” is a more favorable one.
As is known to all, art plays a vital role in our life. It helps us discover the beauty around us, develop good taste and enrich our spiritual world. Besides, talking about art allows us to share our experiences in painting, music or calligraphy, making our speeches more vivid and meaningful. I believe this topic can help all students feel the power of art.
Hopefully, my suggestion will be taken into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
One possible version 2:
Dear Jenny,
I’m writing to express my idea about the speech contest topics provided by you. I prefer “The Charm of Sports” to “The Beauty of Art”.
Firstly, sports are closely related to our daily life and have great charm. It not only keeps our bodies healthy and strong but also helps us build confidence, develop teamwork spirit and relieve pressure from study. Additionally, every student has their own sports experiences, such as playing basketball, running or swimming, which can make our speeches more real and touching. This topic can also encourage us to keep doing sports.
I think this topic will be popular among all our classmates.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane’s family used to live in a modest but cozy house on a quiet street in New York. A white wooden door stood at the entrance, slightly worn from years of use, and two wide windows faced the street, letting in soft morning light. In front of the house grew an old maple tree, whose shade covered the yard every summer and whose red leaves always announced the arrival of autumn. It was not the size of the house that mattered, but the sense of belonging it gave to everyone who lived there.
Everything was taken away in a single night. A sudden wildfire swept through the area, moving faster than anyone had expected. Jane and her parents escaped with only a few personal belongings. When they were finally allowed to return, nothing remained but ashes and broken walls. Their home, along with everything inside it, was gone forever.
Since then, the family had been staying in a government-arranged temporary shelter. The room was clean but cold, and it never truly felt like home. Jane noticed that her parents spoke less and smiled less. Her mother often stared silently out of the window, while her father tried to stay busy, as if work could keep his sadness away. The coming of winter only made things harder.
As Christmas drew near, the shelter was decorated with simple lights, but the holiday spirit felt distant to Jane’s family. In the past, this was the season when her parents would put up decorations and play music at home. Now, those traditions seemed painfully far away. Seeing her parents’ low spirits, Jane felt a deep ache in her heart. She wished she could do something to bring back even a small part of what they had lost.
One evening, while scrolling through her phone, Jane came across a post shared online. It was about an artist who offered to paint pictures of homes destroyed in the New York fire, free of charge, so that families could keep a lasting memory of what they had lost. At the end of the post, a simple note caught her eye: “If you need help, you may contact me at the number below.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
An idea slowly formed in her mind.

Gently, Jane handed the newly received painting to her parents.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
An idea slowly formed in her mind. Taking a deep breath, Jane picked up her phone and got through to the number. On the phone, she explained what her family had been through and described the house in careful detail. After digesting her emotional words, the artist paused and then promised to represent their home on the canvas. Days passed slowly, and Jane checked her phone again and again in anxiety. Then one afternoon, a parcel finally arrived. Upon seeing the long-anticipated painting, she, without a moment’s delay, rushed off to find her parents.
Carefully, Jane gently handed the newly received picture to her parents. They leaned closer, hardly breathing. The house in the painting looked alive, filled with light and warmth. Tears rolled down their faces, but this time they were not only from sadness. A soft smile appeared, breaking the long silence. Jane felt her heart lighten as she watched them. The shelter no longer seemed so cold, for the picture had brought their memories — and their home — back to them.
