They aren’t just any gloves, however. The specially made bionic (仿生学的) devices are letting the 79-year-old play with both hands for the first time in over 20 years. The artist is considered one of the greatest players of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Martins retired in 2024. By then, he had undergone 24 medical procedures to try to reduce pain caused by a progressive disease and from a series of accidents. His limitations had forced him to work mostly as a musical conductor since the early 2000s. But in the final days of 2019, friends returned to his home. They listened to him once again bringing his favourite classical music back to life on his piano. Before the gloves especially developed for him, Martins could only play songs slowly with his thumbs and, sometimes, his pointer fingers. Martins’ health problems date from 1965. He became known for coming back from every struggle he faced. For example, he suffered nerve damage in his arm from a soccer injury. But even his close friends believed that the latest surgery, on his left hand, would mark the end of his days as a pianist. However, one designer, Ubirata Bizarro Costa, created special bionic gloves for Martins’ hands. The gloves help move his fingers up after they press on the piano keys. Costa created early models based on images of Martins’ hands. But he said those models were “far from ideal”. He then decided to tell Martins about his efforts. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing different models. The perfect match came in December, and cost only $125 to build. The new gloves have given Martins a new goal. He hopes to play the piano at New York’s Carnegie Hall. He is already set to conduct a concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of his first appearance there. 4. Why did Martins specifically invite his friends to the bar? A. To showcase his new compositions. B. To celebrate his physical recovery. C. To share the joy of his artistic rebirth. D. To announce his new performance schedule. 5. What may be the evaluation of the effectiveness of his latest surgery? A. A wonder. B. Great regret. C. An unavoidable accident. D. An unexpected success. 6. What can be inferred from the text? A. Costa is passionate about classical music. B. Costa is a person full of kindness and creativity. C. Martins has never performed at Carnegie Hall before. D. It was in the 2010s that Martins was unemployed. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a special concert. B. To promote a new technology. C. To tell us about magic gloves letting a pianist play again. D. To introduce an outstanding musician. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了2024 年圣诞前，79 岁巴西钢琴家马丁斯邀友展示仿生手套，该手套助他20多年来首次用双手弹琴，其设计者经多次测试制成，马丁斯还盼赴卡内基音乐厅演奏。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Brazilian pianist Martins invited his friends to a bar near his home, showing them the best gift he had received: a new pair of gloves.( 巴西钢琴家马丁斯邀请他的朋友到他家附近的一家酒吧，向他们展示了他收到的最好的礼物：一副新手套。)” 以及第二段中“The specially made bionic (仿生学的) devices are letting the 79-year-old play with both hands for the first time in over 20 years.( 特制的仿生设备让这位79岁的老人20多年来第一次用双手弹奏。)”可知，马丁斯邀请朋友去酒吧是为了展示他收到的特殊礼物 —— 仿生手套，这副手套让他能够重新用双手弹奏钢琴，他是想分享自己能够再次弹奏钢琴，实现艺术重生的喜悦。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But even his close friends believed that the latest surgery, on his left hand, would mark the end of his days as a pianist.( 但就连他最亲密的朋友也认为，最近在他左手上做的手术，将标志着他钢琴家生涯的终结。)”可知，他的朋友们认为最新的这次手术会标志着他作为钢琴家生涯的结束，说明这次手术效果不理想，令人遗憾。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, one designer, Ubirata Bizarro Costa, created special bionic gloves for Martins’ hands. The gloves help move his fingers up after they press on the piano keys. Costa created early models based on images of Martins’ hands. But he said those models were “far from ideal”. He then decided to tell Martins about his efforts. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing different models.( 然而，一位名叫乌比拉塔·比扎罗·科斯塔的设计师为马丁斯的手设计了一副特殊的仿生手套。这种手套可以帮助他的手指在按下钢琴键后向上移动。科斯塔根据马丁斯的手的图像制作了早期的模型。但他表示，这些模式“远非理想”。然后他决定告诉马丁斯他的努力。科斯塔和马丁斯随后花了几个月的时间测试不同的模型。)”可知，科斯塔为马丁斯设计了特殊的仿生手套，并且花费了几个月的时间测试不同的模型，帮助马丁斯重新能够弹奏钢琴，这体现了科斯塔充满善良和创造力。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“ They aren’t just any gloves, however. The specially made bionic ( 生学的) devices are letting the 79-year-old play with both hands for the first time in over 20 years.(然而，它们并不是普通的手套。这种特制的仿生设备让这位79岁的老人20多年来第一次用双手玩耍)”可知，文章主要讲述了巴西钢琴家马丁斯因为健康问题无法正常弹奏钢琴，但是在设计师科斯塔为他设计了特殊的仿生手套后，他又能够重新弹奏钢琴的故事，由此可推知，文章的目的是在介绍这副神奇的手套让钢琴家重新能够弹奏。故选C项。 C The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education, you could get left behind. Technology touches every part of our daily lives — even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers. If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop, where will that leave you? Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma (文凭), but those times are gone now. Competition for even the lowest level jobs is intense, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now. Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate (申请者) as markets grow tighter and tighter. Education is not only important on the job front, however. Recent studies show that continually-learning will keep your brain more healthy. The more active you keep your brain now, the more active it will remain in the long run. It does make sense if you think about it: if you start jogging, your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise. The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation (刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp. Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem (自尊). If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, a small house and a poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate. Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past. Was it because you just could not learn; or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time? You are an adult now and will be more focused and goal driven. Never say no to education, never say no to yourself. 8. Why does the author mention “the fast food industry” in the first paragraph? A. To tell us that we can’t break away from technology. B. To lead in the topic of development of fast food industry. C. To show the big changes of modern life. D. To introduce a new fast food shop. 9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The difficulty of selecting good candidates. B. The disordered employment situation. C. The importance of education for job hunting. D. The uselessness of high school diploma. 10. What should we do to keep our brain sharp according to the text? A. Ensure a healthy diet every day. B. Make our brain work to learn something new. C. Early to bed and early to rise. D. Do as much physical exercise as possible. 11. Who are the suggestions in the last paragraph probably for? A. Those who have small cars. B. Those who live in old houses. C. Those who have graduated from colleges recently. D. Those who have low self-esteem because of poor education. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在快速发展的现代社会，教育至关重要。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Technology touches every part of our daily lives — even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers.(技术触及我们日常生活的每一个部分——甚至快餐业也依赖计算机辅助系统来加快为顾客服务的速度。)”可知，这句话强调了技术在现代生活中的广泛应用，作者提到“快餐业”是为了说明我们离不开技术。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma, but those times are gone now. Competition for even the lowest level jobs is intense, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now.(从前，你仅凭高中文凭就能过上好日子，但现在那些日子已经一去不复返了。即使是最低级别的工作，竞争也很激烈，现在大多数雇主都会优先考虑受过额外教育的人。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是教育对求职的重要性。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation of new information to keep itself sharp.(你的大脑可能也是如此：让它工作去学习新事物，它会不断地寻求新信息的刺激来保持敏锐。)”可知，为了让大脑保持敏锐，我们应该让大脑工作去学习新事物。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, a small house and a poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate.(教育对你的自我意识和自尊很重要。如果你让自己认为自己受教育程度低，那么你就应该拥有一辆旧车、一所小房子和一个贫穷的生活。别再为自己感到难过了，掌控自己的命运吧。)”可知，最后一段的建议是针对那些因为教育程度低而自尊心低的人。故选D。 D Since 2010, nearly every country has seen an increase in the number of cancer patients. The WHO reports one in six people will develop cancer in their lifetime. At least 10 million people will die from the disease every year. If the current trend continues, new cancer cases will rise by 60 percent by the year 2040. In low- and middle-income countries, they will rise by more than 80 percent. Andre Ilbawi, WHO’s technical officer in cancer control, says more people are dying from cancer in poorer countries. Controlling the disease does not have to cost a lot. The WHO report, he explained, shows that by investing in cancer services, governments can save 7 million lives by 2030. “And that is at the cost of $2.70 per person in low-income countries and $8.15 per person in upper middle-income countries. This is feasible,” Ilbawi said. WHO says cancer does not have to be a death sentence. Prevention works. There have been great improvements in research on cancer prevention and treatment. These measures are successfully keeping many people alive who otherwise would have died. Preventive policies can work in powerful ways to reduce not only cancer numbers and death rates, but also the social and economic inequality in cancer cases. An example of such a policy is one that reduces workers’ contact with cancer-causing materials. Other examples are measures to control tobacco use, vaccination against cancer-causing infectious agents and testing for early stages of cancer. In its report, WHO describes a series of measures proven to help in preventing new cancer cases. For example, it notes that tobacco-related diseases are responsible for 25 percent of cancer deaths. Deciding not to smoke, it says, can save billions of dollars and millions of lives. WHO adds that a vaccine against hepatitis B (乙肝) can prevent liver cancer. It notes another vaccine against HPV can nearly fight off cervical cancer (宫颈癌). 12. How does the author lead in the topic? A. By citing specific data. B. By making a comparison. C. By giving a vivid example. D. By clarifying a personal viewpoint. 13. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Practicable. B. Valuable. C. incredible. D. Responsible. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards cancer prevention? A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Hopeful. D. Critical. 15. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. The Latest Report By The WHO. B. Prevention Is Better Than cure. C. Cancers Increasing But Not a Death Sentence. D. WHO: Cancer Poses a Great Threat To Humanity. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了癌症病例的增加情况，同时指出癌症并非绝症，预防措施有效且可行。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Since 2010, nearly every country has seen an increase in the number of cancer patients. The WHO, reports one in six people will develop cancer in their lifetime. At least 10 million people will die from the disease every year. If the current trend continues, new cancer cases will rise by 60 percent by the year 2040. In low- and middle-income countries, they will rise by more than 80 percent.(自2010年以来，几乎每个国家的癌症患者数量都有所增加。据世界卫生组织报道，六分之一的人在一生中会患上癌症。每年至少有1000万人死于这种疾病。如果目前的趋势继续下去，到2040年，新的癌症病例将增加60%。在中低收入国家，这一比例将上升80%以上。)”可知，作者通过引用具体数据来引入癌症患者数量增加这个话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Andre Ilbawi, WHO’s technical officer in cancer control, says more people are dying from cancer in poorer countries. Controlling the disease does not have to cost a lot. The WHO report, he explained, shows that by investing in cancer services, governments can save 7 million lives by 2030. “And that is at the cost of $2.70 per person in low-income countries and $8.15 per person in upper middle-income countries.(世界卫生组织（WHO）癌症防控技术官员安德烈・伊尔巴维表示，较贫困国家有更多人死于癌症。但防控这种疾病的成本并非高不可攀。他解释称，世卫组织的报告显示，通过投资癌症医疗服务，各国政府到2030年可挽救700万人的生命。而这一投入的成本，在低收入国家为人均2.70美元，在中高收入国家为人均8.15美元。)”可知，Ilbawi认为通过投资癌症服务来挽救生命这个措施是可行的，因此，“feasible”在此处的意思是“可行的，切实可行的”。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“WHO says cancer does not have to be a death sentence. Prevention works.(世卫组织表示，癌症不一定是死刑。预防是有效的。)”、第四段“There have been great improvements in research on cancer prevention and treatment. These measures are successfully keeping many people alive who otherwise would have died.(癌症预防和治疗的研究取得了很大进展。这些措施成功地让许多本会死亡的人活了下来。)”和第五段“In its report, WHO describes a series of measures proven to help in preventing new cancer cases.(在其报告中，世卫组织描述了一系列经证实有助于预防新癌症病例的措施。)”可知，作者对癌症预防持乐观态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段讲述了自2010年以来，几乎每个国家的癌症患者数量都有所增加，第二段讲述了世卫组织的技术官员Andre Ilbawi表示，在较贫穷的国家，死于癌症的人更多，但控制这种疾病并不需要花费很多，通过投资癌症服务，政府可以在2030年前挽救700万人的生命，第三段到第五段讲述了世卫组织表示癌症不一定是死刑，预防是有效的，癌症预防和治疗的研究取得了很大进展，并且世卫组织在其报告中描述了一系列经证实有助于预防新癌症病例的措施。由此可知，文章主要讲述了癌症病例的增加情况，同时指出癌症并非绝症，预防措施有效且可行，因此选项C“癌症在增加，但并非绝症”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 City planners around the world are looking for ways to make city life healthier and more pleasant.

Even worse, there might be a strong storm following, according to the latest weather data cloud map. Especially, in the region of the United States, hurricanes seem to have become a habit every early summer. After rain, there is often a hurricane, big or small, and many people have experienced the power of hurricanes. In that unforgettable summer, there was a lot of rain and several hurricanes, but fortunately the power of hurricanes was not as great as imagined. Temporarily leaving homes was the fastest and safest way to resist (抵御) hurricanes, and such actions seemed to become normalized that year, and residents were accustomed to them. However, not everyone is willing to do so. Especially for those who have limited mobility, sometimes they stay put with a sense of luck. Karen Lauder is such a person. When a hurricane hit her hometown, Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn’t believe how strong the storm would be. Karen was 84 years old and depended on a wheelchair to get around because she was missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she firmly refused this time. She felt that situations like hers were shifting back and forth, and she couldn’t bear it, which also affected her own children. Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action. First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began to swim. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. He is obviously a strong swimmer, but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials. There was also a strong current, and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s. As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies to show his worried family that he was okay. Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears! He quickly arrived at the bedroom, but it was difficult for him to save his mother alone. Fortunately, other rescue personnel arrived in time and together they put the elderly person on the lifeboat. “If it had been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t have been here,” Johnny said. “She’s never been happier to see me.” Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections she got in the water. The family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’re grateful just to be here. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在飓风及潜在强风暴即将来袭的背景下，美国部分地区居民虽有暂时离家躲避飓风的习惯，但并非所有人都愿意这样做。84岁且行动不便、依靠轮椅的Karen Lauder在飓风来袭时拒绝撤离，坚信风暴不会太强。随着风暴肆虐，她家周围水位危险上升，当水淹到屋内较低处时，住在附近几个街区外的儿子Johnny先安排好儿子和宠物，随后跳出窗户游向母亲家展开救援。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Johnny曾经是一名救生员。”可知，第一段可描写Johnny在洪水激流中艰难游泳、争分夺秒赶去救母亲的惊险过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Karen在屋里喊叫的声音对他来说简直就是音乐！”可知，第二段可描写Johnny找到母亲并与其他救援人员合力将她救出，最终全家虽失去一切却庆幸生还的感人结局。 2.续写线索：游向母亲家——自拍报平安——与时间赛跑——听到呼喊声——到达卧室——联合救援——事后感慨——母亲治疗与家人现状 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①前行：make his way/move forward ②到达：arrive at/get to ③治疗：treat/remedy 情绪类 ①担心：worried/concerned ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies to show his worried family that he was okay. (由as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections she got in the water.

They aren’t just any gloves, however. The specially made bionic (仿生学的) devices are letting the 79-year-old play with both hands for the first time in over 20 years. The artist is considered one of the greatest players of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Martins retired in 2024. By then, he had undergone 24 medical procedures to try to reduce pain caused by a progressive disease and from a series of accidents. His limitations had forced him to work mostly as a musical conductor since the early 2000s. But in the final days of 2019, friends returned to his home. They listened to him once again bringing his favourite classical music back to life on his piano. Before the gloves especially developed for him, Martins could only play songs slowly with his thumbs and, sometimes, his pointer fingers. Martins’ health problems date from 1965. He became known for coming back from every struggle he faced. For example, he suffered nerve damage in his arm from a soccer injury. But even his close friends believed that the latest surgery, on his left hand, would mark the end of his days as a pianist. However, one designer, Ubirata Bizarro Costa, created special bionic gloves for Martins’ hands. The gloves help move his fingers up after they press on the piano keys. Costa created early models based on images of Martins’ hands. But he said those models were “far from ideal”. He then decided to tell Martins about his efforts. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing different models. The perfect match came in December, and cost only $125 to build. The new gloves have given Martins a new goal. He hopes to play the piano at New York’s Carnegie Hall. He is already set to conduct a concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of his first appearance there. 4. Why did Martins specifically invite his friends to the bar? A. To showcase his new compositions. B. To celebrate his physical recovery. C. To share the joy of his artistic rebirth. D. To announce his new performance schedule. 5. What may be the evaluation of the effectiveness of his latest surgery? A. A wonder. B. Great regret. C. An unavoidable accident. D. An unexpected success. 6. What can be inferred from the text? A. Costa is passionate about classical music. B. Costa is a person full of kindness and creativity. C. Martins has never performed at Carnegie Hall before. D. It was in the 2010s that Martins was unemployed. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a special concert. B. To promote a new technology. C. To tell us about magic gloves letting a pianist play again. D. To introduce an outstanding musician. C The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education, you could get left behind. Technology touches every part of our daily lives — even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers. If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop, where will that leave you? Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma (文凭), but those times are gone now. Competition for even the lowest level jobs is intense, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now. Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate (申请者) as markets grow tighter and tighter. Education is not only important on the job front, however. Recent studies show that continually-learning will keep your brain more healthy. The more active you keep your brain now, the more active it will remain in the long run. It does make sense if you think about it: if you start jogging, your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise. The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation (刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp. Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem (自尊). If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, a small house and a poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate. Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past. Was it because you just could not learn; or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time? You are an adult now and will be more focused and goal driven. Never say no to education, never say no to yourself. 8. Why does the author mention “the fast food industry” in the first paragraph? A. To tell us that we can’t break away from technology. B. To lead in the topic of development of fast food industry. C. To show the big changes of modern life. D. To introduce a new fast food shop. 9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The difficulty of selecting good candidates. B. The disordered employment situation. C. The importance of education for job hunting. D. The uselessness of high school diploma. 10. What should we do to keep our brain sharp according to the text? A. Ensure a healthy diet every day. B. Make our brain work to learn something new. C. Early to bed and early to rise. D. Do as much physical exercise as possible. 11. Who are the suggestions in the last paragraph probably for? A. Those who have small cars. B. Those who live in old houses. C. Those who have graduated from colleges recently. D. Those who have low self-esteem because of poor education. D Since 2010, nearly every country has seen an increase in the number of cancer patients. The WHO reports one in six people will develop cancer in their lifetime. At least 10 million people will die from the disease every year. If the current trend continues, new cancer cases will rise by 60 percent by the year 2040. In low- and middle-income countries, they will rise by more than 80 percent. Andre Ilbawi, WHO’s technical officer in cancer control, says more people are dying from cancer in poorer countries. Controlling the disease does not have to cost a lot. The WHO report, he explained, shows that by investing in cancer services, governments can save 7 million lives by 2030. “And that is at the cost of $2.70 per person in low-income countries and $8.15 per person in upper middle-income countries. This is feasible,” Ilbawi said. WHO says cancer does not have to be a death sentence. Prevention works. There have been great improvements in research on cancer prevention and treatment. These measures are successfully keeping many people alive who otherwise would have died. Preventive policies can work in powerful ways to reduce not only cancer numbers and death rates, but also the social and economic inequality in cancer cases. An example of such a policy is one that reduces workers’ contact with cancer-causing materials. Other examples are measures to control tobacco use, vaccination against cancer-causing infectious agents and testing for early stages of cancer. In its report, WHO describes a series of measures proven to help in preventing new cancer cases. For example, it notes that tobacco-related diseases are responsible for 25 percent of cancer deaths. Deciding not to smoke, it says, can save billions of dollars and millions of lives. WHO adds that a vaccine against hepatitis B (乙肝) can prevent liver cancer. It notes another vaccine against HPV can nearly fight off cervical cancer (宫颈癌). 12. How does the author lead in the topic? A. By citing specific data. B. By making a comparison. C.

Even worse, there might be a strong storm following, according to the latest weather data cloud map. Especially, in the region of the United States, hurricanes seem to have become a habit every early summer. After rain, there is often a hurricane, big or small, and many people have experienced the power of hurricanes. In that unforgettable summer, there was a lot of rain and several hurricanes, but fortunately the power of hurricanes was not as great as imagined. Temporarily leaving homes was the fastest and safest way to resist (抵御) hurricanes, and such actions seemed to become normalized that year, and residents were accustomed to them. However, not everyone is willing to do so. Especially for those who have limited mobility, sometimes they stay put with a sense of luck. Karen Lauder is such a person. When a hurricane hit her hometown, Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn’t believe how strong the storm would be. Karen was 84 years old and depended on a wheelchair to get around because she was missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she firmly refused this time. She felt that situations like hers were shifting back and forth, and she couldn’t bear it, which also affected her own children. Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action. First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began to swim. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
