I used to be a firm resolution-maker, setting big annual goals like running a marathon. I’d start out strong, but by March, I’d be out of willpower and I’d go quietly back into my old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things… I didn’t do.
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with two different cancers at the same time. It requires two different treatment plans together in the same body. It was tough to deal with them and the following year was incredibly difficult. One good thing about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective about what I consider “success” and “failure.” Before, I always felt like I was failing somewhere, but now simply being alive with my family felt like a huge success. That was when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions.
My problem was wanting to “dream big” but lacking the skills and capacity. Now I take the opposite approach: I’m all about the little goals. They are easy to set and accomplish. Instead of running a marathon, I run 20 minutes three days a week. Every time I check a mini-goal off my list, I feel a burst of pride — I don’t have to wait until year-end for that feeling.
Almost losing your life is what really makes you realize how fragile (脆弱的) and precious life is — and I decided I don’t want to waste a minute of it feeling bad or guilty. Cancer gave me a sense of purpose and motivated me to find a better way to feel successful. I haven’t given up on growth. And I’ve learned that there are better ways to improve and grow than through New Year’s resolutions.
4. What stopped the author from making New Year’s resolutions?
A. Uncertain future. B. Failure in attempts.
C. Lack of willpower. D. Unexpected diseases.
5. What are the author’s goals like now?
A. Big but measurable. B. Small and achievable.
C. Ambitious but realistic. D. Specific and challenging.
6. How will the author feel now if she fails to achieve her goals?
A. Guilty. B. Hopeful. C. Unburdened. D. Discouraged.
7. Which of the following best describes the author’s lesson?
A. Think twice before you act. B. Break big tasks into small steps.
C. Dream big and dare to fail. D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
C
Think of Christmas, what animals will you have in mind? In the face of climate change, let’s take a look at how the Christmas-related animals are weathering the warmth.
Reindeer cannot handle the pace and scale of modern warming. It is surprising, given that the species survived the rapid warming that ended the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago. Researchers explain that their past adaptations — spreading into cooler places — are ineffective today. Current warming is global. Their range has reduced, and cool shelters are rare. Climate models suggest their numbers could shrink by 98% by 2100.
Alarmingly, fewer reindeer could actually make climate change worse. Researchers from Finland and Alaska found that, in far northern forests, soils release more carbon dioxide rather than storing it. But reindeer can counteract that effect. If reindeer are grazing (放牧) under the trees, the soil still traps carbon — even when there is no snow.
However, in warmer tropical seas, another “Christmas” creature presents a different story. Christmas tree worms are colorful marine worms found in tropical coral reefs, known for their distinctive shape that resembles a Christmas tree. They may serve as guardians to help protect coral reefs by attaching to corals and staying immobile for the rest of their lives. The adult worms circulate water around the coral, which helps the coral eat. And baby coral polyps (珊瑚虫) find shelter under the Christmas tree’s branches, where they can hide from predators like the sea star. Because of this, scientists think we might be able to use Christmas tree worms as a way of learning about the health of coral.
A 2022 study by students at the University of California Berkeley found a correlation between healthy coral and higher numbers of Christmas tree worms. It’s possible that, in the future, these worms could become an early warning signal — showing scientists where corals are under stress from warming seas.
From Santa’s reindeer to the festive sea worms, our changing world is changing life for creatures great and small. While some of these animals are struggling, a few may be key to helping us adapt to the future.
8. What might happen if the reindeer population grew?
A. Soil would release more nutrients.
B. Other grass-eaters would decline rapidly.
C. Carbon storage in soil might improve.
D. Snow cover would increase significantly.
9. What does the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Find out. B. Adjust to. C. Lead to. D. Cancel out.
10. How do the Christmas tree worms help baby coral polyps?
A. By offering shelter. B. By providing food.
C. By monitoring their health. D. By driving away sea stars.
11. What is probably the best title of this passage?
A. Reindeer’s Struggle: A Christmas Tale B. Tiny Worms: Big Help for Corals
C. Climate Victims: From Reindeer to Corals D. Loss and Hope: Animals in Climate Dilemma
D
When Shenzhen-based M-Star Packaging Company opened its overseas factory in Riverside, California in 2025, the move quickly proved its value. Within three months, the factory received substantial orders from local customers, a rare early success for a Chinese manufacturer establishing production in America.
This rapid market expansion was driven not just by competitive manufacturing, but also by strategically using AI to guide decisions before and after entering overseas markets. As China-based companies face rising standard requirements and geopolitical uncertainty, AI is increasingly being used as a “risk radar” to help companies assess risks and make evidence-based decisions before investing abroad, according to Gu Lingyun, founder and CEO of IceKredit, a high-tech company providing AI-powered business services.
One big challenge for China-based companies expanding overseas remains the time-consuming process of understanding new markets, particularly language, culture and regulatory systems. The AI-driven business intelligence products are designed to rapidly analyze competitors, market conditions and seasonal trends, providing decision-makers with actionable insights. According to Gu, more than 500 Chinese clients, have expressed strong interest in entering the US market by using AI-powered agents to conduct tailored market and product analysis.
From a broader view, AI is reshaping global supply chains. Allen Hao, an AI supply chain expert, says competitiveness now mainly depends on the ability to adapt, not just size. Citing an MIT report, he notes AI can handle over 11.7% of U.S. labor tasks, worth about $1.2 trillion in wages. This trend impacts China-based companies globally: to succeed, they must design local operations for an AI-powered ecosystem from the start. “The age of AI isn’t coming — it’s already here beneath the surface,” Hao stated.
As M-Star’s case shows, AI is enabling a shift from mere market entry to smarter, deeply localized operations. For China-based companies, this means using AI not just for initial analysis, but for ongoing upgrade of production, logistics (物流), and market response — ultimately defining the new standard for competitive globalization.
12. What does AI help companies evaluate before the investment?
A. Market size and profit. B. Risks and evidence.
C. Seasonal trends and price. D. Language and culture.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The analysis of the local market. B. Difficulty of cultural understanding.
C. The role of AI in market entry. D. Importance of good manufacturing.
14. Why did Allen Hao mention MIT’s report?
A. To explain AI’s side effects on labor tasks.
B. To stress the adaptability in the AI age.
C. To offer advice on AI’s future development.
D. To show AI’s decisive role in operation.
15. What will Chinese companies probably do next?
A. Improve operations with AI. B. Raise standards to compete.
C. Use AI for market analysis. D. Reduce costs of production.

We’ve all been there, sitting in the middle of a conversation that suddenly hits a dead end, leaving us desperately searching for something to say. ___16___ The key is to be prepared.

For years, I tried to follow that advice. I did my best to love others and ____29____ those problem-free times we all get every so often.

I am learning to draw strength from life’s challenges, to grow more ____31____ through hardships, and to love more deeply because of them.

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。
It was a warm Friday afternoon. I walked out of the downtown grocery store, carrying fresh vegetables, a loaf of crusty bread, and a jar of honey my wife had asked me to buy for a week. After a long day in the office, I felt completely exhausted.
I hurried back to the parking lot, eager to get home and rest, only to make the frustrating discovery: I had locked my keys and cell phone inside my car. A wave of helplessness washed over me. My wife had the spare keys, but I couldn’t call her. And there was no one in sight at the parking lot. And there was no way for me to leave everything beside my car and just walk back to the store to get some help. In a moment of pure annoyance, I kicked the tire and muttered a few angry words under my breath.
Just then, a seemingly professional cyclist wearing a helmet slowed down nearby. He must have seen my little outburst. “What’s the matter, sir?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. He looked no more than twenty, tall and lean, with sun-tanned skin and a bright, open smile that made people feel at ease at once. Sweat glistened (闪亮) on his forehead, yet his eyes were lively and clear, full of energy and kindness.
I explained my situation, embarrassed, adding, “This is our only car. Even if I called my wife, she couldn’t bring me the keys.” The mounting sense of helplessness was like a heavy stone pressing down on my chest.
To my surprise, he immediately offered his cell phone. “You can call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get the key for you,” he said simply, “During the Friday afternoon rush hour, this is probably the best solution.”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
I hesitated, mentioning that it would be a seven-mile round trip._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
15 minutes later, he came back with my spare key.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I used to be a firm resolution-maker, setting big annual goals like running a marathon. I’d start out strong, but by March, I’d be out of willpower and I’d go quietly back into my old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things… I didn’t do.
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with two different cancers at the same time. It requires two different treatment plans together in the same body. It was tough to deal with them and the following year was incredibly difficult. One good thing about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective about what I consider “success” and “failure.” Before, I always felt like I was failing somewhere, but now simply being alive with my family felt like a huge success. That was when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions.
My problem was wanting to “dream big” but lacking the skills and capacity. Now I take the opposite approach: I’m all about the little goals. They are easy to set and accomplish. Instead of running a marathon, I run 20 minutes three days a week. Every time I check a mini-goal off my list, I feel a burst of pride — I don’t have to wait until year-end for that feeling.
Almost losing your life is what really makes you realize how fragile (脆弱的) and precious life is — and I decided I don’t want to waste a minute of it feeling bad or guilty. Cancer gave me a sense of purpose and motivated me to find a better way to feel successful. I haven’t given up on growth. And I’ve learned that there are better ways to improve and grow than through New Year’s resolutions.
4. What stopped the author from making New Year’s resolutions?
A. Uncertain future. B. Failure in attempts.
C. Lack of willpower. D. Unexpected diseases.
5. What are the author’s goals like now?
A. Big but measurable. B. Small and achievable.
C. Ambitious but realistic. D. Specific and challenging.
6. How will the author feel now if she fails to achieve her goals?
A. Guilty. B. Hopeful. C. Unburdened. D. Discouraged.
7. Which of the following best describes the author’s lesson?
A. Think twice before you act. B. Break big tasks into small steps.
C. Dream big and dare to fail. D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Two years ago, I was diagnosed with two different cancers at the same time. It requires two different treatment plans together in the same body. It was tough to deal with them and the following year was incredibly difficult. One good thing about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective about what I consider “success” and “failure.” Before, I always felt like I was failing somewhere, but now simply being alive with my family felt like a huge success. That was when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions. (两年前,我被确诊同时患上了两种不同的癌症,需要在同一个身体上同时进行两套不同的治疗方案。对抗癌症的过程十分艰难,接下来的那一年更是难熬。不过癌症带来的一件幸事,是它彻底改变了我对“成功”和“失败”的看法。在此之前,我总觉得自己在某些方面一事无成,但如今,能活着陪在家人身边,于我而言就是莫大的成功。也就是从那时起,我决定再也不制定新年计划了。)”可知,作者两年前被同时诊断出两种癌症,这一重大健康危机彻底改变了她的视角,使她放弃了新年决心。故选D项。
【5题详解】

Think of Christmas, what animals will you have in mind? In the face of climate change, let’s take a look at how the Christmas-related animals are weathering the warmth.
Reindeer cannot handle the pace and scale of modern warming. It is surprising, given that the species survived the rapid warming that ended the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago. Researchers explain that their past adaptations — spreading into cooler places — are ineffective today. Current warming is global. Their range has reduced, and cool shelters are rare. Climate models suggest their numbers could shrink by 98% by 2100.
Alarmingly, fewer reindeer could actually make climate change worse. Researchers from Finland and Alaska found that, in far northern forests, soils release more carbon dioxide rather than storing it. But reindeer can counteract that effect. If reindeer are grazing (放牧) under the trees, the soil still traps carbon — even when there is no snow.
However, in warmer tropical seas, another “Christmas” creature presents a different story. Christmas tree worms are colorful marine worms found in tropical coral reefs, known for their distinctive shape that resembles a Christmas tree. They may serve as guardians to help protect coral reefs by attaching to corals and staying immobile for the rest of their lives. The adult worms circulate water around the coral, which helps the coral eat. And baby coral polyps (珊瑚虫) find shelter under the Christmas tree’s branches, where they can hide from predators like the sea star. Because of this, scientists think we might be able to use Christmas tree worms as a way of learning about the health of coral.
A 2022 study by students at the University of California Berkeley found a correlation between healthy coral and higher numbers of Christmas tree worms. It’s possible that, in the future, these worms could become an early warning signal — showing scientists where corals are under stress from warming seas.
From Santa’s reindeer to the festive sea worms, our changing world is changing life for creatures great and small. While some of these animals are struggling, a few may be key to helping us adapt to the future.
8. What might happen if the reindeer population grew?
A. Soil would release more nutrients.
B. Other grass-eaters would decline rapidly.
C. Carbon storage in soil might improve.
D. Snow cover would increase significantly.
9. What does the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Find out. B. Adjust to. C. Lead to. D. Cancel out.
10. How do the Christmas tree worms help baby coral polyps?
A. By offering shelter. B. By providing food.
C. By monitoring their health. D. By driving away sea stars.
11. What is probably the best title of this passage?
A. Reindeer’s Struggle: A Christmas Tale B. Tiny Worms: Big Help for Corals
C. Climate Victims: From Reindeer to Corals D. Loss and Hope: Animals in Climate Dilemma
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍气候变化下与圣诞相关的驯鹿和圣诞树蠕虫的生存状况,驯鹿数量锐减还会加剧气候问题,而圣诞树蠕虫能守护珊瑚,或成珊瑚健康的预警信号。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Researchers from Finland and Alaska found that, in far northern forests, soils release more carbon dioxide rather than storing it. But reindeer can counteract that effect. If reindeer are grazing (放牧) under the trees, the soil still traps carbon — even when there is no snow. (芬兰和阿拉斯加的研究人员发现,在遥远的北方森林中,土壤会释放更多的二氧化碳而非储存它。但驯鹿能抵消这种影响。如果驯鹿在树下觅食,即使没有雪,土壤也能锁住碳。)”可知,驯鹿数量增加的话,土壤的碳储存能力可能会得到改善。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Researchers from Finland and Alaska found that, in far northern forests, soils release more carbon dioxide rather than storing it. But reindeer can counteract that effect. If reindeer are grazing (放牧) under the trees, the soil still traps carbon — even when there is no snow.(芬兰和阿拉斯加的研究人员发现,在遥远的北方森林中,土壤会释放更多的二氧化碳而非储存它。但驯鹿能counteract这种影响。如果驯鹿在树下觅食,即使没有雪,土壤也能锁住碳。)”可知,土壤本会释放二氧化碳,而驯鹿的存在能让土壤继续储存碳,消除了土壤释放二氧化碳的影响,因此划线单词的含义是“抵消、消除”,与D项短语意义相近。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And baby coral polyps (珊瑚虫) find shelter under the Christmas tree’s branches, where they can hide from predators like the sea star.(珊瑚虫幼体则在圣诞树蠕虫的“枝桠”下找到庇护所,在那里它们可以躲避海星等捕食者。)”可知,圣诞树蠕虫通过为珊瑚虫幼体提供庇护所来帮助它们。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章介绍了气候变化下驯鹿的生存面临危机,其数量减少还会加剧气候问题,而圣诞树蠕虫不仅能守护珊瑚礁,还可能成为珊瑚受气候变暖影响的预警信号,部分相关动物虽陷入困境,但有一些或能助力人类适应未来气候,可知“失去与希望:气候困境中的动物”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

When Shenzhen-based M-Star Packaging Company opened its overseas factory in Riverside, California in 2025, the move quickly proved its value. Within three months, the factory received substantial orders from local customers, a rare early success for a Chinese manufacturer establishing production in America.
This rapid market expansion was driven not just by competitive manufacturing, but also by strategically using AI to guide decisions before and after entering overseas markets. As China-based companies face rising standard requirements and geopolitical uncertainty, AI is increasingly being used as a “risk radar” to help companies assess risks and make evidence-based decisions before investing abroad, according to Gu Lingyun, founder and CEO of IceKredit, a high-tech company providing AI-powered business services.
One big challenge for China-based companies expanding overseas remains the time-consuming process of understanding new markets, particularly language, culture and regulatory systems. The AI-driven business intelligence products are designed to rapidly analyze competitors, market conditions and seasonal trends, providing decision-makers with actionable insights. According to Gu, more than 500 Chinese clients, have expressed strong interest in entering the US market by using AI-powered agents to conduct tailored market and product analysis.
From a broader view, AI is reshaping global supply chains. Allen Hao, an AI supply chain expert, says competitiveness now mainly depends on the ability to adapt, not just size. Citing an MIT report, he notes AI can handle over 11.7% of U.S. labor tasks, worth about $1.2 trillion in wages. This trend impacts China-based companies globally: to succeed, they must design local operations for an AI-powered ecosystem from the start. “The age of AI isn’t coming — it’s already here beneath the surface,” Hao stated.
As M-Star’s case shows, AI is enabling a shift from mere market entry to smarter, deeply localized operations. For China-based companies, this means using AI not just for initial analysis, but for ongoing upgrade of production, logistics (物流), and market response — ultimately defining the new standard for competitive globalization.
12. What does AI help companies evaluate before the investment?
A. Market size and profit. B. Risks and evidence.
C. Seasonal trends and price. D. Language and culture.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The analysis of the local market. B. Difficulty of cultural understanding.
C. The role of AI in market entry. D. Importance of good manufacturing.
14. Why did Allen Hao mention MIT’s report?
A. To explain AI’s side effects on labor tasks.
B. To stress the adaptability in the AI age.
C. To offer advice on AI’s future development.
D. To show AI’s decisive role in operation.
15. What will Chinese companies probably do next?
A. Improve operations with AI. B. Raise standards to compete.
C. Use AI for market analysis. D. Reduce costs of production.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以深圳M-Star包装公司在美国建厂的成功案例为切入点,介绍了AI正在成为中国企业出海的“风险雷达”,不仅能帮助评估风险、分析市场,还在重塑全球供应链,推动企业从单纯的市场进入转向更智能、深度本地化的运营模式。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As China-based companies face rising standard requirements and geopolitical uncertainty, AI is increasingly being used as a ‘risk radar’ to help companies assess risks and make evidence-based decisions before investing abroad, according to Gu Lingyun, founder and CEO of IceKredit, a high-tech company providing AI-powered business services.(提供人工智能驱动商业服务的高科技公司IceKredit创始人兼CEO Gu Lingyun表示,随着中国企业面临日益提高的标准要求和地缘政治不确定性,人工智能正越来越多地被用作‘风险雷达’,帮助企业在海外投资前评估风险并做出有依据的决策。)”可知,AI在企业投资海外前,会帮助评估风险,并做出有依据的决策。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The AI-driven business intelligence products are designed to rapidly analyze competitors, market conditions and seasonal trends, providing decision-makers with actionable insights.(这些由人工智能驱动的商业智能产品旨在快速分析竞争对手、市场状况和季节趋势,为决策者提供可落地的洞察。)”可知,该段主要阐述了AI在企业进入新市场时,如何帮助解决理解市场耗时的难题,提供可执行的洞察。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Allen Hao, an AI supply chain expert, says competitiveness now mainly depends on the ability to adapt, not just size. Citing an MIT report, he notes AI can handle over 11.7% of U.S. labor tasks, worth about $1.2 trillion in wages.(AI供应链专家Allen Hao表示,如今的竞争力主要取决于适应能力,而不仅仅是规模。他引用MIT的一份报告指出,人工智能可以处理美国超过11.7%的劳动力任务,对应约1.2万亿美元的薪资规模。)”可知,他引用报告是为了支撑“竞争力主要取决于适应能力”这一观点,强调在AI时代适应性的重要性。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第五段“For China-based companies, this means using AI not just for initial analysis, but for ongoing upgrade of production, logistics (物流), and market response — ultimately defining the new standard for competitive globalization.(对中国企业而言,这意味着不仅要将人工智能用于初始分析,还要用它来持续升级生产、物流和市场响应能力——最终为具备竞争力的全球化模式确立新标准。)”可知,中国企业接下来会将AI从初始分析延伸到生产、物流和市场响应的持续升级中,用AI优化整体运营。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:如果你钟爱永恒的美感和深厚的文化底蕴,就一定不要错过苏州园林。此处与beauty并列,位于形容词cultural之后,用deep的名词形式depth,意为“底蕴,深度”,为不可数名词。故填depth。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们不仅仅是漂亮的公园,更是镌刻在石头、流水和草木之中的鲜活哲学。此处为非谓语动词作定语,philosophy与carve为被动关系,用过去分词carved。故填carved。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:苏州的园林文化起源于公元前6世纪,在明清时期达到鼎盛。根据时间状语in the Ming and Qing dynasties可知,此处描述过去发生的动作,用一般过去时,peak的过去式为peaked。故填peaked。
【39题详解】

【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:传统的苏州园林遵循四大核心元素:水象征着灵动,石代表着坚韧,植物体现着生命的轮回,建筑则彰显着人的存在。此处连接四个并列的名词短语,为并列关系,用连词and。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对于那些将中国古典园林与日本禅意园林作比较的游客来说,二者的真正区别在于:苏州园林邀人探寻。此处为非谓语动词作定语,travelers与compare为主动关系,用现在分词comparing。故填comparing。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:简而言之,游览苏州园林能让人涤荡心灵。此处为固定句型it is+形容词+to do sth.,it作形式主语,真正的主语为动词不定式,用to visit。故填to visit。
【45题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:无论你是在寻觅文化体验,还是只是追求美感,这片中国文化遗产都能为你带来一场视觉盛宴。此处a feast for eyes与deliver为被动关系,且位于情态动词can之后,用情态动词的被动语态,结构为“can+be+过去分词”,deliver的过去分词为delivered。故填be delivered。

【答案】 Modern Life in Cartoons
In the cartoon, a man is typing busily on the computer, waving to a woman beside him and saying, “Can’t talk now — I’m chatting.” It vividly shows a common social phenomenon: people are so absorbed in online chatting that they ignore face-to-face communication with those around them.
In my opinion, while online communication brings convenience, we shouldn’t let it replace real-life interactions. We should balance our time online and make more effort to talk with people around us, which helps build warmer relationships.

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。
It was a warm Friday afternoon. I walked out of the downtown grocery store, carrying fresh vegetables, a loaf of crusty bread, and a jar of honey my wife had asked me to buy for a week. After a long day in the office, I felt completely exhausted.
I hurried back to the parking lot, eager to get home and rest, only to make the frustrating discovery: I had locked my keys and cell phone inside my car. A wave of helplessness washed over me. My wife had the spare keys, but I couldn’t call her. And there was no one in sight at the parking lot. And there was no way for me to leave everything beside my car and just walk back to the store to get some help. In a moment of pure annoyance, I kicked the tire and muttered a few angry words under my breath.
Just then, a seemingly professional cyclist wearing a helmet slowed down nearby. He must have seen my little outburst. “What’s the matter, sir?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. He looked no more than twenty, tall and lean, with sun-tanned skin and a bright, open smile that made people feel at ease at once. Sweat glistened (闪亮) on his forehead, yet his eyes were lively and clear, full of energy and kindness.
I explained my situation, embarrassed, adding, “This is our only car. Even if I called my wife, she couldn’t bring me the keys.” The mounting sense of helplessness was like a heavy stone pressing down on my chest.
To my surprise, he immediately offered his cell phone. “You can call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get the key for you,” he said simply, “During the Friday afternoon rush hour, this is probably the best solution.”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
I hesitated, mentioning that it would be a seven-mile round trip._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
15 minutes later, he came back with my spare key.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I hesitated, mentioning that it would be a seven-mile round trip. I told him it was too far and that I couldn’t possibly trouble a stranger like that. He laughed lightly, as if distance meant nothing to him. “It’s just a good ride,” he said cheerfully. I called my wife right away. She was surprised by his kindness and said she’d wait with the spare key. He adjusted his helmet, and sped off down the road. Watching his figure disappear into the busy street, I felt both grateful and uneasy, hoping sincerely that he would come back safely.
15 minutes later, he came back with my spare key. Slightly out of breath but still smiling, he handed me the key as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I tried to pay him for his trouble, but he shook his head firmly. “Thank you for giving me the chance to set a new personal best record,” he joked and waved me goodbye. As he rode away, I stood there quietly, realizing how one small act of kindness could brighten an entire day — and stay with someone far longer than the problem itself.
