Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
24. What might be a problem Lagos is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
25. What made Amara determined to build parks?
A. Losses from natural disasters.
B. People’s ignorance of climate change.
C. Disappointment in government failure.
D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
26. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project?
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence.
27. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.
C
Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.
The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature.
Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection.
Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.
Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added.
28. What change has Richardson traced in his study?
A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature.
C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids.
29. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model?
A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature.
C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons.
30. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text?
A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns.
C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas.
31. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________.
A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change
C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature
D
A computer that relies on fungal (真菌的) networks to store information could one day be an alternative to the current generation of memory devices, according to research published in PLOS One.
Scientists have built working memristors (忆阻器) — circuitry elements that “remember” their past electrical activity — from the root-like part of a mushroom called the mycelium. The result is a memristor with performance comparable to that of a silicon-based chip, but it has its own benefits in ways many computer components today do not.
“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don’t need a lot of power when the machine isn’t being used,” says lead researcher John LaRocco of Ohio State University. “That can bring a huge potential advantage.”
Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts, mostly because fungal networks work in ways similar to neural systems. They have a similar structure. And they send information using electrical and chemical signals, just like a brain. But the fact that they aren’t actually brains means some engineering is needed to make them do what scientists need them to do.
The team grew the mushroom mycelium under controlled conditions. Then they dried the samples in sunlight to ensure long-term stability. Finally, they connected them to a circuit to test their performance. “We would connect electrical wires at different points on the mushrooms,” LaRocco says. “Depending on the voltage (电压) and connectivity, we were seeing different performances.”
The researchers achieved a performance of 5,850 Hertz, with an accuracy of 90 percent from their mushroom memristor - that is, it switches signals at a speed of about 5,850 times per second. The researchers also found that as the electrical voltage increased, the mushroom’s performance decreased. They were able to fix it by adding more mushrooms to the circuit.
You’re not going to have a mycelial computer any time soon. Still, the findings do suggest that this is a promising path for future research. As the researchers note in their paper, “The future of computing could be fungal.”
32. What can be learned about working memristors built from mycelium?
A. They are shaped like real mushrooms.
B. They need less power when not working.
C. They perform much better than traditional chips.
D. They have become a new way to store information.
33. Why do scientists choose mushrooms as computer components?
A. They have brain-like working networks.
B. They can process information like humans.
C. They grow quickly in controlled conditions.
D. They can work with electrical signals alone.
34. What do the findings on mushroom memristors show?
A. Higher voltage improves accuracy.
B. Connectivity has no influence on results.
C. They remain stable when voltage changes.
D. Network expansion improves their performance.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Challenges of creating biological computer chips.
B. Advantages of mushroom-based memory devices.
C. A comparison between fungal and neural networks.
D. A breakthrough in developing bio-computing components.

67. 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。
After my family moved to America, we lived on Pearl Street in New York’s Chinatown. Below our flat, my family ran a bakery. My mother named me after the street: Pearl Wong.
A typical Chinese-style mum, my mother often reminded me of the importance of being outstanding. “Be number one, or be nothing,” she demanded in broken English. She would check my report cards and frown at anything lower than an A.
At a holiday party, my brother received a chess set, missing a pawn (卒) and a knight (马). My mother dismissed it as unwanted junk, but we were fascinated, especially me.
“Why can’t they move more steps?” “Why do they go crossways to take other men? ” I had so many questions. My mother patted the flour off her hands. “Let me see book,” she said. “Ah. Don’t know why? You find out yourself.”
So I read and memorized the rules, studied the moves, and practiced endlessly. Soon, I was beating my brothers. With every game, my chess improved, my wins grew, and my hunger for victory deepened.
I started entering tournaments and winning trophies (奖杯). My mother became my biggest supporter — but in her own way. She pushed me to win every game and displayed every trophy in the bakery window. I asked her several times not to do so but she insisted. Soon, the cakes were surrounded by rows of shining trophies. “This my daughter, Pearl,” she would tell others, her voice full of pride. But the more she showed me off, the more I felt trapped, as if I were no longer playing for myself, as if I were her trophy.
One Saturday in Chinatown, my mother paraded (招摇过市) me through the stores, without making a purchase. “This my daughter, Pearl Wong, Chinatown chess champion,” she announced. The shopkeepers, with forced smiles, looked at us with an obviously growing impatience.

Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
24. What might be a problem Lagos is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
25. What made Amara determined to build parks?
A. Losses from natural disasters.
B. People’s ignorance of climate change.
C. Disappointment in government failure.
D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
26. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project?
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence.
27. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述少女阿玛拉在拉各斯将垃圾场改造成公园,以此唤醒民众气候保护意识并带动更多公益行动。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play.(这样的场景在拉各斯很少见,它是非洲发展最快的城市之一,人口约1700万。但在城市郊区,一个由垃圾场改造的公园正在为孩子们提供玩耍的空间)”可知,拉各斯面临的问题是公共活动区域不足。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s ‘climate apathy’: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.(但后来,她意识到这就是所谓的尼日利亚的‘气候冷漠’:人们倾向于将洪水、热浪和干旱视为孤立事件,而非地球变暖带来的后果)”以及第三段“I wanted to change the mindset. If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it.(我想要改变这种心态。如果人们感受不到与自然的联系,就不会主动去保护自然)”可知,人们对气候变化的漠视态度,让阿玛拉下定决心修建公园唤醒大家。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities.(阿玛拉最初联系了拉各斯州政府,政府提供了土地但施加了限制条件,导致长期施工无法开展。历经数月碰壁后,她转变策略,开始寻找高危社区周边的备选场地)”可知,遇到阻碍后她及时调整办法,体现出灵活变通的品质。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.(我付诸行动,其他人看到后,也想要行动。众人同心,力量就会不断壮大)”可知,阿玛拉想表达微小行动积累起来就能产生巨大影响。
C
Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.
The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature.
Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection.
Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.
Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added.
28. What change has Richardson traced in his study?
A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature.
C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids.
29. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model?
A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature.
C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons.
30. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text?
A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns.
C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas.
31. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________.
A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change
C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来,书籍中自然词汇减少,反映出人们与自然的接触日益减少。研究表明,城市化、长辈不再引导孩子亲近自然等因素,可能导致后代出现“自然体验的灭绝”。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.(据德比大学的Miles Richardson教授的一项研究显示,这种下降趋势反映了他所追踪到的更为广泛的变革:220年来的城市化记录、社区内野生动物的减少,以及父母不再将与自然的接触方式传递给子女的现象。)” 可知,Richardson追踪到的核心变化是:城市化、社区野生生物减少、父母不再传递亲近自然的习惯,即,人们和自然的直接接触变少了。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The computer modelling in the study also predicts an ‘extinction of experience’, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an ‘orientation’ towards the natural world.(该研究中的计算机模型还预测会出现“体验灭绝”现象,未来的世代将会逐渐失去对自然界的认知,因为自然环境已不再存在于日益密集的居民区之中,而父母们也不再向孩子们传递对自然世界的“认知导向”。)”可知,“体验灭绝”的原因是:社区逐渐被建筑覆盖,自然消失,同时父母不再传递亲近自然的倾向,即,下一代成长环境本身就远离自然。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.(更为有效的是那些能在孩子幼年时期就建立与自然联系的措施,比如为幼儿设立的森林学校。研究表明,政府针对早期教育和城市规划的改革举措必须在未来 25 年内持续推行。一旦这种联系得以确立,它就能实现自我维持。)”可知,更有效的方式是从小培养亲近自然的连接,政府调整早期教育和城市设计的举措,必须在未来25年持续推行,即长期政策才是有效的解决方案。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. ‘Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,’ he said.(一项针对谢菲尔德市民的研究发现,他们平均每天在自然环境中停留的时间仅为4分36秒。“将这个时间增加 10 倍,人们每天就能在户外度过 40 分钟 —— 这或许已经足够了。”)”提及谢菲尔德市民每天只在自然环境中停留4分36秒,而只需增加十倍到四十分钟就够了,即,不用巨大改变,小努力就能提升亲近自然的时间。故选D项。
D
A computer that relies on fungal (真菌的) networks to store information could one day be an alternative to the current generation of memory devices, according to research published in PLOS One.
Scientists have built working memristors (忆阻器) — circuitry elements that “remember” their past electrical activity — from the root-like part of a mushroom called the mycelium. The result is a memristor with performance comparable to that of a silicon-based chip, but it has its own benefits in ways many computer components today do not.
“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don’t need a lot of power when the machine isn’t being used,” says lead researcher John LaRocco of Ohio State University. “That can bring a huge potential advantage.”
Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts, mostly because fungal networks work in ways similar to neural systems. They have a similar structure. And they send information using electrical and chemical signals, just like a brain. But the fact that they aren’t actually brains means some engineering is needed to make them do what scientists need them to do.
The team grew the mushroom mycelium under controlled conditions. Then they dried the samples in sunlight to ensure long-term stability. Finally, they connected them to a circuit to test their performance. “We would connect electrical wires at different points on the mushrooms,” LaRocco says. “Depending on the voltage (电压) and connectivity, we were seeing different performances.”
The researchers achieved a performance of 5,850 Hertz, with an accuracy of 90 percent from their mushroom memristor - that is, it switches signals at a speed of about 5,850 times per second. The researchers also found that as the electrical voltage increased, the mushroom’s performance decreased. They were able to fix it by adding more mushrooms to the circuit.
You’re not going to have a mycelial computer any time soon. Still, the findings do suggest that this is a promising path for future research. As the researchers note in their paper, “The future of computing could be fungal.”
32. What can be learned about working memristors built from mycelium?
A. They are shaped like real mushrooms.
B. They need less power when not working.
C. They perform much better than traditional chips.
D. They have become a new way to store information.
33. Why do scientists choose mushrooms as computer components?
A. They have brain-like working networks.
B. They can process information like humans.
C. They grow quickly in controlled conditions.
D. They can work with electrical signals alone.
34. What do the findings on mushroom memristors show?
A. Higher voltage improves accuracy.
B. Connectivity has no influence on results.
C. They remain stable when voltage changes.
D. Network expansion improves their performance.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Challenges of creating biological computer chips.
B. Advantages of mushroom-based memory devices.
C. A comparison between fungal and neural networks.
D. A breakthrough in developing bio-computing components.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科学家利用蘑菇菌丝体制造忆阻器的研究,及其性能、研究过程和未来应用前景。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don’t need a lot of power when the machine isn’t being used,” says lead researcher John LaRocco of Ohio State University.(俄亥俄州立大学的首席研究员约翰·拉罗科说:“能够开发出像真正脑细胞一样工作的微芯片,意味着机器不使用时不需要消耗大量电力。”)可知,由菌丝体制成的工作忆阻器在不工作时需要的电力更少。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts, mostly because fungal networks work in ways similar to neural systems. They have a similar structure. And they send information using electrical and chemical signals, just like a brain.(科学家们一直考虑将蘑菇用作计算机部件,主要是因为真菌网络的工作方式与神经系统相似。它们有相似的结构。而且它们像大脑一样使用电信号和化学信号发送信息)”可知,科学家选择蘑菇作为计算机部件是因为它们有类似大脑的工作网络。故选A项。

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。
About a year ago, our dishwasher broke down. We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced. ____36____ So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner.
To understand why this upset me so much, you need to know what my life was like as a university senior. ____37____ Homework assignments, projects and tests competed for my attention and time. I caged myself in a prison of my own ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.
So when I first started washing dishes, I felt annoyed. I was in a rush to be done with them, eager to get back to my endless list of tasks. ____38____ For about 15 minutes every day, I realized that I could slow down time and forget everything in the world. As my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success, I found peace.
Though the new dishwasher arrived eventually, I continued to wash dishes by hand. This task became more relaxing and educational than I could have imagined. ____39____ From my kitchen window, I watched the seasons change: the tomato plant grew in summer, gave its fruit in fall, and died back in winter. Then new green was showing in spring. I kept these sights in mind, thinking on time itself.
Washing dishes taught me to think of the completion of a task as the ultimate reward, not praise or a prize. I learned to be more relaxed about deadlines. ____40____
A. It definitely allowed me to recover.
B. Now I can enjoy whatever task I’m doing.
C. I was running around stressed most of the day.
D. It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive.
E. But a new dishwasher was out of our consideration.
F. I should have accomplished them with even greater efforts.
G. Washing dishes, though, caused an admirable transformation in me.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. G 39. A 40. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了大山拍摄纪录片《不系之舟》追寻苏轼足迹,展现其人生,并希望以此传递苏轼精神、联结中外。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意:三十多年来,他一直是东西方之间备受喜爱的桥梁。根据时间状语For over three decades可知,句子应用现在完成时,或强调这一动作一直正在进行,使用现在完成进行时,主语he是第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has served/has been serving。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在大山最新的纪录片《不系之舟》中,他带领观众踏上了一段穿越中国历史的个人旅程。根据句意可知,空处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,personal是辅音音素开头的单词,应用a。故填a。

考查名词。句意:大山在首映式上分享了他与这位诗人的深厚联系,“35年来,我一直热爱苏轼的诗歌,我发现走苏轼走过的路非常有意义。”。空处用于his和形容词deep之后,应使用名词connection,表示“联系”,作宾语。故填connection。

67. 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。
After my family moved to America, we lived on Pearl Street in New York’s Chinatown. Below our flat, my family ran a bakery. My mother named me after the street: Pearl Wong.
A typical Chinese-style mum, my mother often reminded me of the importance of being outstanding. “Be number one, or be nothing,” she demanded in broken English. She would check my report cards and frown at anything lower than an A.
At a holiday party, my brother received a chess set, missing a pawn (卒) and a knight (马). My mother dismissed it as unwanted junk, but we were fascinated, especially me.
“Why can’t they move more steps?” “Why do they go crossways to take other men? ” I had so many questions. My mother patted the flour off her hands. “Let me see book,” she said. “Ah. Don’t know why? You find out yourself.”
So I read and memorized the rules, studied the moves, and practiced endlessly. Soon, I was beating my brothers. With every game, my chess improved, my wins grew, and my hunger for victory deepened.
I started entering tournaments and winning trophies (奖杯). My mother became my biggest supporter — but in her own way. She pushed me to win every game and displayed every trophy in the bakery window. I asked her several times not to do so but she insisted. Soon, the cakes were surrounded by rows of shining trophies. “This my daughter, Pearl,” she would tell others, her voice full of pride. But the more she showed me off, the more I felt trapped, as if I were no longer playing for myself, as if I were her trophy.
One Saturday in Chinatown, my mother paraded (招摇过市) me through the stores, without making a purchase. “This my daughter, Pearl Wong, Chinatown chess champion,” she announced. The shopkeepers, with forced smiles, looked at us with an obviously growing impatience.
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。
Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes. As she was ready to take me to the next stop, I erupted, speaking under my breath, “I wish you wouldn’t do that!” “Aii-ya!” She grasped my hand tight, glaring. “Embarrass you be my daughter? ” Her voice was cracking with anger. I knew I should have stopped talking, but I heard myself yelling, “You are using me to show off! ” She stopped talking, her eyes narrowing dangerously. Panicked and outraged, I fled in dead silence, not daring to look back. (80 words)
When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. Her hands moved swiftly yet quietly. I almost thought she was going to “give me color to see”. But suddenly she spoke, her voice trembling. “I’m sorry, Pearl.” She whispered like a big wounded cat. I couldn’t believe my ears. “No more use you. Just too too proud to be mama, ok? ” I looked up, her wrinkled face telling a long story. Tears rolling, I gave her an American-style hug, maybe for the first time ever, feeling like a real champion. (80 words)
【解析】
