If so, you might recognize yourself in Emma Watson’s latest book, The Wild Mind: Why Reading Matters More Than Ever. Watson, a literature professor at Cambridge, doesn’t simply argue that reading is important for success in school, though she does point out that students who read for pleasure consistently outperform their peers. Her real concern lies deeper. She argues that reading — particularly reading fiction — develops a set of human qualities that no machine can replicate: empathy, patience, and the ability to sit with uncertainty. Drawing on psychological research as well as her own classroom experience, Watson shows how deep reading strengthens our capacity to understand others. When we follow a character through her struggles, we practice seeing the world from another’s point of view. “Fiction,” Watson writes, “is the only place where we can be inside another person’s head and still be ourselves.” The book’s most powerful sections are those where Watson reveals her personal relationship with reading. She describes how, as a shy teenager, books became her shelter — a place where she could meet people she might never encounter in real life. These reflections lift the book beyond academic argument into something more intimate. Technology, Watson acknowledges, has made reading harder. Our attention is under attack. But she refuses to be defeated. The final chapter is a practical guide to reclaiming the reading life — simple, realistic strategies that make reading possible even in a world buzzing with distraction. You close The Wild Mind not with guilt about what you haven’t read, but with genuine hunger for the next page. 4. What is Watson’s main concern about the value of reading? A. It helps students gain high test scores. B. It trains people to write better fiction. C. It offers a way to escape from school pressure. D. It develops qualities that technology cannot replace. 5. What does Watson mean by saying fiction is the “only place where we can be inside another person’s head and still be ourselves”? A. Reading fiction is a very private activity. B. Writing fiction requires deep self-understanding. C. Characters in fiction are more real than actual people. D. Fiction allows readers to understand others’ experiences. 6. What can be inferred about Watson’s personal experience with reading? A. She was forced to read by a teacher. B. She preferred academic books to novels. C. She used reading to get through difficult times. D. She began reading seriously as a university student. 7. What is the author’s attitude toward The Wild Mind? A. Critical and doubtful. B. Calm and objective. C. Positive and encouraging. D. Humorous and light-hearted. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍艾玛·沃森的新书《狂野思维》，阐述阅读尤其是小说对人性的独特价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her real concern lies deeper. She argues that reading — particularly reading fiction — develops a set of human qualities that no machine can replicate: empathy, patience, and the ability to sit with uncertainty.(她真正关注的是更深层的。她认为阅读——尤其是小说阅读——能培养出一套机器无法复制的人类品质：同理心、耐心以及忍受不确定性的能力)”可知，沃森最关心的是阅读能培养科技无法替代的品质。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When we follow a character through her struggles, we practice seeing the world from another’s point of view.(当我们跟随一个角色经历她的挣扎时，我们实际上是在练习从他人的角度看世界)”可知，这句话意在说明小说能让读者理解他人的经历。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“She describes how, as a shy teenager, books became her shelter — a place where she could meet people she might never encounter in real life.(她描述了自己作为一个害羞的青少年，书籍如何成为她的庇护所——在那里她可以遇见现实生活中可能永远不会遇到的人)”可知，她曾用阅读度过艰难时光。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“You close The Wild Mind not with guilt about what you haven’t read, but with genuine hunger for the next page.(你合上《狂野思维》时，不是因为没读过的书感到内疚，而是带着对下一页的真正渴望)”可知，作者对这本书持积极和鼓励的态度。 C Rice farming is a grueling annual cycle. Farmers plow the field, sow the seed, and repeat. This exhausting routine leaves farmers with little rest between seasons. However, Chinese scientists have now developed a new rice variety that grows more like a permanent orchard than an annual crop. Modern cultivated rice is an annual plant that dies after one harvest, yet its wild ancestors were hardy perennials (多年生植物). To bridge this gap, plant geneticists Han Bin and Wang Jiawei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified the genetic mechanism enabling ancient plants to survive winter and regrow from their roots. Published recently in Science, their research identifies a specific genetic region named EBT1 — the biological master key to this longevity. By suppressing aging signals, the EBT1 region keeps the rice in a youthful, vegetative state, allowing it to escape the typical death cycle and regrow from its base year after year. Technically, all rice plants possess a brief “second life” known as ratoon rice (分蘖稻). However, this natural regrowth is too weak to sustain full-scale operations. To strengthen this feature, the researchers developed a productive line called G43. While standard annual rice produces only about a dozen secondary tillers, the G43 variety yields roughly 70. By combining EBT1 with two known low-growing genes, the team successfully created “wild-like” plants capable of surviving at least two years in field environments such as Hainan. This research advances our understanding of plant life-history evolution and provides essential genetic resources for improving perennial rice. As Moto Ashikari, a plant geneticist at Nagoya University, observed: “This offers convincing proof that annual crops can be transformed into perennial crops through genetic approaches”. 8. What does “grueling” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Extremely tiring. B. Highly productive. C. Technically complex. D. Traditionally common. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Aging of ordinary rice plants. B. History of China’s rice genetic research. C. Differences between wild and modern rice. D. Discovery of the key gene for perennial rice. 10. Why was the G43 variety developed? A. To test EBT1 in real fields. B. To add foreign genes to rice. C. To strengthen ratoon rice for farming. D. To compare wild and cultivated rice. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Ancient Rice Genes: A Lost Treasure Rediscovered B. The Endless Harvest: Scientists Rewrite Rice’s Life Cycle C. From Wild to Farm: The Return of Hardier Rice Varieties D. Genetic Engineering: Transforming Global Rice Production 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述中国科学家发现关键基因EBT1并培育出可多年生的水稻新品种。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Farmers plow the field, sow the seed, and repeat. This exhausting routine leaves farmers with little rest between seasons.(农民耕地、播种，然后重复这一过程。这种令人筋疲力尽的日常让农民在季节之间几乎没有休息)”可知，grueling意为“极其累人的”，A选项“Extremely tiring.(极其累人)”符合题意。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Published recently in Science, their research identifies a specific genetic region named EBT1 — the biological master key to this longevity.(最近发表于《科学》杂志上，他们的研究确定了一个名为EBT1的特定基因区域——实现这种长寿的生物万能钥匙)”及第三段对EBT1作用机制的阐述可知，这两段主要讲多年生水稻关键基因的发现。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, this natural regrowth is too weak to sustain full-scale operations. To strengthen this feature, the researchers developed a productive line called G43.(然而，这种自然再生太弱，无法维持大规模种植。为了加强这一特性，研究人员培育出了高产品系G43)”可知，开发G43是为了强化再生稻以适应农业生产。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, Chinese scientists have now developed a new rice variety that grows more like a permanent orchard than an annual crop.(然而，我国科研人员现已培育出一种新型水稻品种，它的生长特性更像多年生果园作物，而非一年生粮食作物)”科长，文章围绕科学家通过改变水稻生命周期，使其从一年生变为多年生展开，B项“无尽收获：科学家改写水稻的生命周期”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。 D The relationship between physical activity and cognitive health has long interested researchers, who generally treated exercise as a single category. Yet not all forms of exercise appear to yield equal benefits. A landmark study conducted by scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine offers convincing evidence that dancing may occupy a unique position in the ranking of brain-protecting activities. Between 1980 and 2001, the researchers tracked nearly 500 elderly residents of the Bronx, monitoring their leisure activities and cognitive function over two decades. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed a striking pattern: while cognitive activities like reading and board games reduced dementia (痴呆) risk by approximately 7 percent per activity, physical pursuits showed more varied outcomes. Swimming and cycling demonstrated modest protective effects, but dancing emerged as the standout performer, with frequent participants showing a 76 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who rarely danced. What distinguishes dancing from other forms of exercise? The researchers suggest that its superiority lies not in body movement alone, but in the combined cognitive demands it requires. A dancer must process rhythm, recall order, navigate spatial relationships, and often move with a partner — all while maintaining balance and posture. This continuous multitasking, the researchers suggest, may create a more robust neural workout than repetitive aerobic activities like walking. Nevertheless, the study’s authors warn against overstating these findings. The data, they note, indicate correlation rather than definitive cause, and the precise neurological mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, the study population was geographically concentrated, raising questions about broader applicability. Still, the implications are difficult to ignore. In an era where pharmaceutical solutions to cognitive decline remain hard to achieve, the prospect that something as accessible as dancing might strengthen the aging brain carries undeniable appeal. Whether the waltz, the tango, or freestyle movement, the message seems consistent: when it comes to preserving mental sharpness, engaging both body and mind may be the most effective approach of all. 12. What does the author imply about previous research on exercise and brain health? A. It overlooked differences among exercise types. B. It overestimated the benefits of aerobic exercise. C. It ignored the social aspect of activities. D. It relied too much on animal studies. 13. Why does the author mention swimming and cycling? A. To show their popularity among the elderly. B. To compare them with mental activities. C. To set a baseline for dancing’s advantages. D. To challenge the study’s methodology. 14. What is the researchers’ attitude toward their findings? A. Fully convinced. B. Mildly skeptical. C. Highly critical. D. Completely dismissive. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Dancing should replace medical treatments. B. Physical exercise can prevent cognitive decline. C. The Bronx study has settled debates on dementia prevention. D. Combined mental and physical engagement benefits the brain most. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍不同运动对大脑的保护效果不同，探究舞蹈护脑效果最佳的原因、研究局限与深层启示。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The relationship between physical activity and cognitive health has long interested researchers, who generally treated exercise as a single category. Yet not all forms of exercise appear to yield equal benefits.(长期以来，研究人员一直关注体育活动与认知健康的关系，且通常将运动归为单一类别，但并非所有运动的益处都是均等的。)”可知，以往相关研究将所有运动一概而论，忽视了不同运动类型存在的效果差异。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Swimming and cycling demonstrated modest protective effects, but dancing emerged as the standout performer, with frequent participants showing a 76 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who rarely danced.(游泳和骑行有一定的脑部保护效果，但效果有限，而跳舞表现尤为突出，经常跳舞的人患痴呆症的风险比很少跳舞的人低76%。)”可知，作者列举游泳和骑行两种运动，是为了对比衬托，凸显舞蹈在保护大脑、预防痴呆方面的独特优势。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Nevertheless, the study’s authors warn against overstating these findings. The data, they note, indicate correlation rather than definitive cause, and the precise neurological mechanisms remain unclear.(尽管如此，该研究的作者提醒人们不要夸大这些研究结果。他们指出，数据仅表明相关性，并非绝对的因果关系，且确切的神经机制仍尚不明确。)”可知，研究人员并未完全笃定研究结果，对研究发现持有适度审慎、略带怀疑的态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Whether the waltz, the tango, or freestyle movement, the message seems consistent: when it comes to preserving mental sharpness, engaging both body and mind may be the most effective approach of all.(无论是华尔兹、探戈还是自由舞步，核心结论始终一致：在保持思维敏锐度方面，身心共同参与的运动方式效果最佳。)”可知，文章对比各类运动的护脑效果，阐释舞蹈因兼顾身体运动与脑力活动，护脑效果远超普通运动，由此可知，本文主要介绍了身心协同参与的活动对大脑益处最大。 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。 Food is not just a means of providing the nutrition. ____16____ In fact, food has the power to bridge cultural gaps.

She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her, but I bet you can. Can you please just take a look at her when you pick me up?” My teenage son’s request came from a visitor center where he volunteered. I agreed, and soon I was looking at a mud-covered dog that was resting under a tree. The dog was medium-sized, gold and white, with warm eyes. She watched attentively as people came and went from the visitor center. When a person approached her, she wagged her tail and ran. Many years of working with various distressed (状态不好的) animals had hardened my heart. I already had three dogs and if I had to have another one, I’d like to use it as a therapy dog (治疗犬). I could see that this sad dog wasn’t therapy dog material. So I turned and walked away. I convinced Nate to wait several days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. She didn’t. So after a week, I brought her home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a strong Border Collie. I named her Leala. At first, Leala avoided human contact. However, it didn’t take long before she actually wanted to be petted by all the family members. A month later, at a routine checkup, the vet said, “This is a really good dog. You don’t see many like this.” His words opened my eyes to a new possibility. Leala was kind to everyone, even the vet who stuck her with needles. Leala quickly became the most well-behaved, sweetest dog I have ever owned. It was a stretch, but I wondered if she could be the therapy dog I’d hoped for. Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. She passed with flying colors (成功地). When we started making visits to nursing homes and mental hospitals, Leala was obviously one of those dogs that could relate to the internal pain so many people harbor. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (２)请按如下格式作答。 On a visit to a children’s group physical therapy session, a non-walking girl refused to use her walker anymore. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the girl could not resist and wanted to try. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: On a visit to a children’s group physical therapy session, a non-walking girl refused to use her walker anymore. Frustrated and exhausted, she sat stubbornly on the floor, tears rolling down her cheeks while the therapists gently encouraged her. Seeing this, Leala sensed the child’s inner struggle. She walked over calmly and rested her head softly on the girl’s lap, offering silent comfort. The little girl stopped crying and began stroking Leala’s golden fur. I quietly placed the walker beside them, hoping the dog’s gentle presence would ease the girl's fear of trying again. Finally, the girl could not resist and wanted to try. With Leala standing patiently by her side as a steady anchor, she reached out and grasped the handles. Taking a deep breath, she slowly pulled herself up, taking one shaky step at a time. The entire room erupted into warm applause as she managed to walk a few steps with Leala walking closely beside her. Watching this miracle unfold, my heart swelled with pride. My son was right; Leala wasn’t just a lost dog. She had found her true purpose, bringing hope and healing to those who needed it most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以流浪小狗Leala 的蜕变为主线展开，讲述作者起初无意收养流浪狗Leala，后心软将其带回家，温顺善良的Leala 顺利通过治疗犬训练，走进养老院和医院治愈他人，最终在儿童康复治疗中帮助残疾女孩勇敢站立行走、实现自我价值的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写残疾女孩抗拒康复训练、情绪低落，Leala主动上前温柔安抚，默默陪伴女孩。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写女孩受Leala感染鼓起勇气尝试行走，在狗狗陪伴下成功迈步，作者感悟Leala的治愈价值与使命。 2.续写线索：女孩抗拒训练——低落落泪——Leala暖心陪伴——女孩情绪平复——勇敢尝试行走——成功迈步——收获掌声——感悟价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①流下：roll down/stream down ②走过来：walk over /come up 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustrated/depressed/upset ②温柔：gently/softly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Frustrated and exhausted, she sat stubbornly on the floor, tears rolling down her cheeks while the therapists gently encouraged her.（运用了形容词短语作状语以及独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] Watching this miracle unfold, my heart swelled with pride.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型3] She had found her true purpose, bringing hope and healing to those who needed it most.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及关系代词who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 安徽师范大学附属中学2026届高三考前适应性检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

If so, you might recognize yourself in Emma Watson’s latest book, The Wild Mind: Why Reading Matters More Than Ever. Watson, a literature professor at Cambridge, doesn’t simply argue that reading is important for success in school, though she does point out that students who read for pleasure consistently outperform their peers. Her real concern lies deeper. She argues that reading — particularly reading fiction — develops a set of human qualities that no machine can replicate: empathy, patience, and the ability to sit with uncertainty. Drawing on psychological research as well as her own classroom experience, Watson shows how deep reading strengthens our capacity to understand others. When we follow a character through her struggles, we practice seeing the world from another’s point of view. “Fiction,” Watson writes, “is the only place where we can be inside another person’s head and still be ourselves.” The book’s most powerful sections are those where Watson reveals her personal relationship with reading. She describes how, as a shy teenager, books became her shelter — a place where she could meet people she might never encounter in real life. These reflections lift the book beyond academic argument into something more intimate. Technology, Watson acknowledges, has made reading harder. Our attention is under attack. But she refuses to be defeated. The final chapter is a practical guide to reclaiming the reading life — simple, realistic strategies that make reading possible even in a world buzzing with distraction. You close The Wild Mind not with guilt about what you haven’t read, but with genuine hunger for the next page. 4. What is Watson’s main concern about the value of reading? A. It helps students gain high test scores. B. It trains people to write better fiction. C. It offers a way to escape from school pressure. D. It develops qualities that technology cannot replace. 5. What does Watson mean by saying fiction is the “only place where we can be inside another person’s head and still be ourselves”? A. Reading fiction is a very private activity. B. Writing fiction requires deep self-understanding. C. Characters in fiction are more real than actual people. D. Fiction allows readers to understand others’ experiences. 6. What can be inferred about Watson’s personal experience with reading? A. She was forced to read by a teacher. B. She preferred academic books to novels. C. She used reading to get through difficult times. D. She began reading seriously as a university student. 7. What is the author’s attitude toward The Wild Mind? A. Critical and doubtful. B. Calm and objective. C. Positive and encouraging. D. Humorous and light-hearted. C Rice farming is a grueling annual cycle. Farmers plow the field, sow the seed, and repeat. This exhausting routine leaves farmers with little rest between seasons. However, Chinese scientists have now developed a new rice variety that grows more like a permanent orchard than an annual crop. Modern cultivated rice is an annual plant that dies after one harvest, yet its wild ancestors were hardy perennials (多年生植物). To bridge this gap, plant geneticists Han Bin and Wang Jiawei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified the genetic mechanism enabling ancient plants to survive winter and regrow from their roots. Published recently in Science, their research identifies a specific genetic region named EBT1 — the biological master key to this longevity. By suppressing aging signals, the EBT1 region keeps the rice in a youthful, vegetative state, allowing it to escape the typical death cycle and regrow from its base year after year. Technically, all rice plants possess a brief “second life” known as ratoon rice (分蘖稻). However, this natural regrowth is too weak to sustain full-scale operations. To strengthen this feature, the researchers developed a productive line called G43. While standard annual rice produces only about a dozen secondary tillers, the G43 variety yields roughly 70. By combining EBT1 with two known low-growing genes, the team successfully created “wild-like” plants capable of surviving at least two years in field environments such as Hainan. This research advances our understanding of plant life-history evolution and provides essential genetic resources for improving perennial rice. As Moto Ashikari, a plant geneticist at Nagoya University, observed: “This offers convincing proof that annual crops can be transformed into perennial crops through genetic approaches”. 8. What does “grueling” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Extremely tiring. B. Highly productive. C. Technically complex. D. Traditionally common. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Aging of ordinary rice plants. B. History of China’s rice genetic research. C. Differences between wild and modern rice. D. Discovery of the key gene for perennial rice. 10. Why was the G43 variety developed? A. To test EBT1 in real fields. B. To add foreign genes to rice. C. To strengthen ratoon rice for farming. D. To compare wild and cultivated rice. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Ancient Rice Genes: A Lost Treasure Rediscovered B. The Endless Harvest: Scientists Rewrite Rice’s Life Cycle C. From Wild to Farm: The Return of Hardier Rice Varieties D. Genetic Engineering: Transforming Global Rice Production D The relationship between physical activity and cognitive health has long interested researchers, who generally treated exercise as a single category. Yet not all forms of exercise appear to yield equal benefits. A landmark study conducted by scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine offers convincing evidence that dancing may occupy a unique position in the ranking of brain-protecting activities. Between 1980 and 2001, the researchers tracked nearly 500 elderly residents of the Bronx, monitoring their leisure activities and cognitive function over two decades. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed a striking pattern: while cognitive activities like reading and board games reduced dementia (痴呆) risk by approximately 7 percent per activity, physical pursuits showed more varied outcomes. Swimming and cycling demonstrated modest protective effects, but dancing emerged as the standout performer, with frequent participants showing a 76 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who rarely danced. What distinguishes dancing from other forms of exercise? The researchers suggest that its superiority lies not in body movement alone, but in the combined cognitive demands it requires. A dancer must process rhythm, recall order, navigate spatial relationships, and often move with a partner — all while maintaining balance and posture. This continuous multitasking, the researchers suggest, may create a more robust neural workout than repetitive aerobic activities like walking. Nevertheless, the study’s authors warn against overstating these findings. The data, they note, indicate correlation rather than definitive cause, and the precise neurological mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, the study population was geographically concentrated, raising questions about broader applicability. Still, the implications are difficult to ignore. In an era where pharmaceutical solutions to cognitive decline remain hard to achieve, the prospect that something as accessible as dancing might strengthen the aging brain carries undeniable appeal. Whether the waltz, the tango, or freestyle movement, the message seems consistent: when it comes to preserving mental sharpness, engaging both body and mind may be the most effective approach of all. 12.

She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her, but I bet you can. Can you please just take a look at her when you pick me up?” My teenage son’s request came from a visitor center where he volunteered. I agreed, and soon I was looking at a mud-covered dog that was resting under a tree. The dog was medium-sized, gold and white, with warm eyes. She watched attentively as people came and went from the visitor center. When a person approached her, she wagged her tail and ran. Many years of working with various distressed (状态不好的) animals had hardened my heart. I already had three dogs and if I had to have another one, I’d like to use it as a therapy dog (治疗犬). I could see that this sad dog wasn’t therapy dog material. So I turned and walked away. I convinced Nate to wait several days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. She didn’t. So after a week, I brought her home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a strong Border Collie. I named her Leala. At first, Leala avoided human contact. However, it didn’t take long before she actually wanted to be petted by all the family members. A month later, at a routine checkup, the vet said, “This is a really good dog. You don’t see many like this.” His words opened my eyes to a new possibility. Leala was kind to everyone, even the vet who stuck her with needles. Leala quickly became the most well-behaved, sweetest dog I have ever owned. It was a stretch, but I wondered if she could be the therapy dog I’d hoped for. Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. She passed with flying colors (成功地). When we started making visits to nursing homes and mental hospitals, Leala was obviously one of those dogs that could relate to the internal pain so many people harbor. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (２)请按如下格式作答。 On a visit to a children’s group physical therapy session, a non-walking girl refused to use her walker anymore. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the girl could not resist and wanted to try. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
