In the late 1980s, Stephanie Garber was driving through downtown Silver Spring, MD, when a large pickup truck hit her car. She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed.
Garber stood on the sidewalk, waiting for rescue to arrive. As she watched her car blocking traffic in the middle of the morning rush hour, Garber couldn’t help crying. “I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said. “So, I really was not myself.” All of a sudden, a professionally dressed woman approached her. The woman appeared to be on her way to work and she was holding a cup of hot tea from the nearby coffee shop.
Garber recalled, “She handed it to me and said, ‘Maybe this will help.’ And when I looked at her, I just felt such kindness coming my way at a time when I needed it.” They smiled at each other and Garber thought she told the woman thank you, though she’s not sure. Then the woman went on her way. Garber recalled drinking the entire cup of tea. “Actually, I’ve never liked tea at all,” she said. “But I drank every drop and I felt her sympathy coming through with each swallow.”
The next morning, during rush hour, Garber drove a rental car back to the same spot downtown, hoping to find the woman and thank her again. But the woman wasn’t there. Garber held on to the small tag (标签) from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity.
“I still remember it. I tell all my friends I never forget the kindness,” Garber said. “And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot.”
4. What was the result of the accident for Garber?
A. She caused traffic jams on purpose.
B. She paid for the other driver’s loss.
C. She escaped unhurt but lost her car.
D. She was fined by the police officer.
5. Why did Garber cry after the accident?
A. She felt upset and ashamed.
B. Passers-by treated her rudely.
C. The rescue didn’t arrive in time.
D. She got badly frightened.
6. Why did Garber keep the tea bag tag for 15 years?
A. To remind herself to drink more tea.
B. To treasure an unexpected kindness.
C. To prove the power of small kindnesses.
D. To look for the woman and return it to her.
7. What message does the text mainly want to convey?
A. Accidents always bring pain.
B. Drinking tea can ease anxiety.
C. Tiny acts of care go a long way.
D. People in trouble desire material help.

Andrewsarchus mongoliensis is a large meat-eating animal that walked on hooves (蹄子). It has confused scientists who study ancient life for over 100 years. This special creature was first discovered in Inner Mongolia in 1923. Researchers have studied its huge and well-preserved skull, which is more than 2.7 feet long. The skull has strong teeth that can easily break bones, as well as powerful mouth muscles.
However, scientists have found only a few fossils: the complete skull, some broken jaws and worn teeth. Because of the limited fossils, experts still cannot decide its true body size or correct place in the development of mammals (哺乳动物). People once believed it was the largest meat-eating animal that ever lived on land.
Over the years, scientists’ opinions about Andrewsarchus have changed many times. At first, they thought it was related to thick-headed pig-like animals. Later, some believed it was similar to wolf-like animals or even an early kind of whale living on land. But none of these ideas have been fully proved, as there are not enough complete fossils.
A 2023 study suggested that Andrewsarchus might be close to early pig-like animals that ate both plants and meat. But some scientists say similar body parts may come from similar living environments, not close blood relationship.
Today, Andrewsarchus still remains an enigma to be solved. Although experts know it was huge and could break bones, the exact shape of its head, the length of its legs, and whether it walked on two feet or four remain unknown. Its real body structure will not be clear until more fossils are found in the future.
8. What is a feature of Andrewsarchus?
A. It had powerful teeth to break bones. B. It could run faster than many animals.
C. It was a small meat-eating animal. D. It had a small skull.
9. What makes experts have trouble in learning more about Andrewsarchus?
A. Its wrong position in the mammal tree. B. Its unusual way of living.
C. Its skull of little research value. D. Its limited fossils.
10. What do some scientists think of Andrewsarchus?
A. It was a kind of large pure hunter.
B. It mainly hunted large animals for food.
C. It may be related to early pig-like animals.
D. It had the same body form as living mammals.
11. What does the underlined word “enigma” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A secret or something not understood. B. A huge meat-eating animal.
C. A special kind of fossil. D. A new scientific discovery.
D
Although gratitude is often top of mind around the holidays, child development experts say this season is really a reminder that thankfulness works best as a daily, year-round practice, one that can meaningfully support children’s emotional health.
“As children regularly practice noticing small, good things, they’re building neural (神经系统的) paths that help them shift attention away from stress and toward positive aspects of their experience,” children’s music artist, author and mindfulness educator Kira Willey said. Over time, she said, those repeated moments help children “find good ground in all kinds of situations, even when things feel confusing”.
As concerns about youth mental health continue, experts say gratitude remains one of the simplest and most accessible tools families can use to support kids’ emotional recovery. For many families, gratitude has become a practical strategy for easing day-to-day stress.
Janine Marcello, a mom from Rhode Island, said that her family began a nightly gratitude check-in when her two daughters were struggling with uncertainty. “It wasn’t anything difficult,” Marcello said. “We’d just sit and go around saying one thing we appreciated that day. At first they rolled their eyes, but after a few weeks they were reminding me to do it. It honestly helped all of us settle our nerves.”
Experts describe gratitude as a multi-step skill: noticing something positive, recognizing someone else helped make it happen, feeling appreciation and expressing it. Children aren’t born knowing how to do this naturally; they build the skill slowly, often by watching adults model it.
For younger kids, gratitude works best when it’s playful, simple and added into routines that already exist. “The magic secret is to keep it short, keep it playful, and make it regular by keeping it to things you already do every day,” she said. That might mean pausing at breakfast to appreciate where food came from, naming something that made them smile on the ride to school, or sharing one small thing they’re grateful for at bedtime.
Parents shouldn’t worry if kids don’t immediately grasp the idea. The seeds you’re planting through these repeated moments will grow over time.
12. What do child development experts stress about thankfulness?
A. Work on many kinds of holidays.
B. Support for kids’ emotional health daily.
C. Holidays for children’s physical health.
D. Paths to mental practice.
13. What benefit do repeated gratitude moments bring children?
A. Building neural pathways to focus on stress.
B. Recognizing stress easily.
C. Staying positive in different situations.
D. Noticing small good things.
14. How does gratitude work best for younger kids?
A. By being long and formal. B. By being shared mainly at bedtime.
C. By being taught in special classes. D. By being fun, simple and regular.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Gratitude: Teaching Kids the Skill
B. Gratitude: Daily Practice for Kids’ Health
C. Holiday Gratitude: Why It Matters Much
D. Gratitude: A Family’s Daily Story

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。
Not long ago, I found a wallet lying in the street. It had a little money, several small shopping lists, and different cards, including a Washington State driver’s license. I didn’t want to look through it secretly, but I couldn’t help seeing the man’s photo. He looked young, neat, and serious. I imagined this young man finding his wallet lost. The money was not much, but maybe it was all he had. I thought not returning it would be as wrong as stealing.
The address on the license was two miles away. I drove there, but the person living there didn’t know the man in the photo. I kept trying and searched his name online, finally finding his social media page. I sent him a message, saying I had his wallet and left my phone number.
The next day, I took the wallet to the preschool where I work and told my students the story. They had a warm discussion about “lost and found”. One boy said, “If you find something on the ground and no one is around, you should still try to find the owner!” But a little girl asked, “What if it’s a real diamond?” The boy replied, “Especially then — a diamond is too valuable to keep.” I held up the wallet and asked, “Is this too valuable?” The students nodded quickly. “Yes,” one boy said. “It has his picture in it. He will be very sad if he can’t get it back.”
Their simple and clear sense of right and wrong made me more determined. I told them that honesty is always the best choice and that we should always try to help those in trouble. However, as the week passed, the owner didn’t reply at all. His wallet was on my kitchen table, making me feel upset. I wondered how long I should wait before giving up.
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。
Ten days passed without a response from the owner.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, my phone received a new message.

In the late 1980s, Stephanie Garber was driving through downtown Silver Spring, MD, when a large pickup truck hit her car. She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed.
Garber stood on the sidewalk, waiting for rescue to arrive. As she watched her car blocking traffic in the middle of the morning rush hour, Garber couldn’t help crying. “I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said. “So, I really was not myself.” All of a sudden, a professionally dressed woman approached her. The woman appeared to be on her way to work and she was holding a cup of hot tea from the nearby coffee shop.
Garber recalled, “She handed it to me and said, ‘Maybe this will help.’ And when I looked at her, I just felt such kindness coming my way at a time when I needed it.” They smiled at each other and Garber thought she told the woman thank you, though she’s not sure. Then the woman went on her way. Garber recalled drinking the entire cup of tea. “Actually, I’ve never liked tea at all,” she said. “But I drank every drop and I felt her sympathy coming through with each swallow.”
The next morning, during rush hour, Garber drove a rental car back to the same spot downtown, hoping to find the woman and thank her again. But the woman wasn’t there. Garber held on to the small tag (标签) from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity.
“I still remember it. I tell all my friends I never forget the kindness,” Garber said. “And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot.”
4. What was the result of the accident for Garber?
A. She caused traffic jams on purpose.
B. She paid for the other driver’s loss.
C. She escaped unhurt but lost her car.
D. She was fined by the police officer.
5. Why did Garber cry after the accident?
A. She felt upset and ashamed.
B. Passers-by treated her rudely.
C. The rescue didn’t arrive in time.
D. She got badly frightened.
6. Why did Garber keep the tea bag tag for 15 years?
A. To remind herself to drink more tea.
B. To treasure an unexpected kindness.
C. To prove the power of small kindnesses.
D. To look for the woman and return it to her.
7. What message does the text mainly want to convey?

Andrewsarchus mongoliensis is a large meat-eating animal that walked on hooves (蹄子). It has confused scientists who study ancient life for over 100 years. This special creature was first discovered in Inner Mongolia in 1923. Researchers have studied its huge and well-preserved skull, which is more than 2.7 feet long. The skull has strong teeth that can easily break bones, as well as powerful mouth muscles.
However, scientists have found only a few fossils: the complete skull, some broken jaws and worn teeth. Because of the limited fossils, experts still cannot decide its true body size or correct place in the development of mammals (哺乳动物). People once believed it was the largest meat-eating animal that ever lived on land.
Over the years, scientists’ opinions about Andrewsarchus have changed many times. At first, they thought it was related to thick-headed pig-like animals. Later, some believed it was similar to wolf-like animals or even an early kind of whale living on land. But none of these ideas have been fully proved, as there are not enough complete fossils.
A 2023 study suggested that Andrewsarchus might be close to early pig-like animals that ate both plants and meat. But some scientists say similar body parts may come from similar living environments, not close blood relationship.
Today, Andrewsarchus still remains an enigma to be solved. Although experts know it was huge and could break bones, the exact shape of its head, the length of its legs, and whether it walked on two feet or four remain unknown. Its real body structure will not be clear until more fossils are found in the future.
8. What is a feature of Andrewsarchus?
A. It had powerful teeth to break bones. B. It could run faster than many animals.
C. It was a small meat-eating animal. D. It had a small skull.
9. What makes experts have trouble in learning more about Andrewsarchus?
A. Its wrong position in the mammal tree. B. Its unusual way of living.
C. Its skull of little research value. D. Its limited fossils.
10. What do some scientists think of Andrewsarchus?
A. It was a kind of large pure hunter.
B. It mainly hunted large animals for food.
C. It may be related to early pig-like animals.
D. It had the same body form as living mammals.
11. What does the underlined word “enigma” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A secret or something not understood. B. A huge meat-eating animal.
C. A special kind of fossil. D. A new scientific discovery.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了神秘的古代生物蒙古安氏中兽的外形特征、研究现状及科学家对其分类的争议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The skull has strong teeth that can easily break bones, as well as powerful mouth muscles. (头骨上有坚固的牙齿,能够轻易地咬断骨头,还有强大的口腔肌肉。)”可知,蒙古安氏中兽的特征是拥有能咬碎骨头的坚硬牙齿。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Because of the limited fossils, experts still cannot decide its true body size or correct place in the development of mammals (哺乳动物). (由于化石数量有限,专家们仍然无法确定其真实的身体大小或在哺乳动物发展过程中的正确位置。)”可知,专家难以深入研究这种动物是因为化石数量有限。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A 2023 study suggested that Andrewsarchus might be close to early pig-like animals that ate both plants and meat. (2023年的一项研究提出,安氏中兽可能与以植物和肉类为食的早期猪类动物关系密切。)”可知,部分科学家认为它可能与早期的类猪动物有亲缘关系。故选C。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“Although experts know it was huge and could break bones, the exact shape of its head, the length of its legs, and whether it walked on two feet or four remain unknown. (尽管专家们知道它体型庞大,能够击碎骨头,但其头部的确切形状、腿部的长度以及它是用两条腿还是四条腿行走仍不得而知。)”可知,这种生物的身体结构至今仍不明确,因此enigma意为“谜;难以理解的事物”。故选A。
D
Although gratitude is often top of mind around the holidays, child development experts say this season is really a reminder that thankfulness works best as a daily, year-round practice, one that can meaningfully support children’s emotional health.
“As children regularly practice noticing small, good things, they’re building neural (神经系统的) paths that help them shift attention away from stress and toward positive aspects of their experience,” children’s music artist, author and mindfulness educator Kira Willey said. Over time, she said, those repeated moments help children “find good ground in all kinds of situations, even when things feel confusing”.
As concerns about youth mental health continue, experts say gratitude remains one of the simplest and most accessible tools families can use to support kids’ emotional recovery. For many families, gratitude has become a practical strategy for easing day-to-day stress.
Janine Marcello, a mom from Rhode Island, said that her family began a nightly gratitude check-in when her two daughters were struggling with uncertainty. “It wasn’t anything difficult,” Marcello said. “We’d just sit and go around saying one thing we appreciated that day. At first they rolled their eyes, but after a few weeks they were reminding me to do it. It honestly helped all of us settle our nerves.”
Experts describe gratitude as a multi-step skill: noticing something positive, recognizing someone else helped make it happen, feeling appreciation and expressing it. Children aren’t born knowing how to do this naturally; they build the skill slowly, often by watching adults model it.
For younger kids, gratitude works best when it’s playful, simple and added into routines that already exist. “The magic secret is to keep it short, keep it playful, and make it regular by keeping it to things you already do every day,” she said. That might mean pausing at breakfast to appreciate where food came from, naming something that made them smile on the ride to school, or sharing one small thing they’re grateful for at bedtime.
Parents shouldn’t worry if kids don’t immediately grasp the idea. The seeds you’re planting through these repeated moments will grow over time.
12. What do child development experts stress about thankfulness?
A. Work on many kinds of holidays.
B. Support for kids’ emotional health daily.
C. Holidays for children’s physical health.
D. Paths to mental practice.
13. What benefit do repeated gratitude moments bring children?
A. Building neural pathways to focus on stress.
B. Recognizing stress easily.
C. Staying positive in different situations.
D. Noticing small good things.
14. How does gratitude work best for younger kids?
A. By being long and formal. B. By being shared mainly at bedtime.
C. By being taught in special classes. D. By being fun, simple and regular.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Gratitude: Teaching Kids the Skill
B. Gratitude: Daily Practice for Kids’ Health
C. Holiday Gratitude: Why It Matters Much
D. Gratitude: A Family’s Daily Story
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B

【答案】A Volunteer Activity
Last weekend, our class organized a meaningful volunteer activity. All of us went to the nearby community to promote the importance of protecting wild animals.
We prepared colorful posters and leaflets, introducing the living situation of wild animals and the harm of hunting them. We also answered questions from the community residents patiently, calling on them to refuse wild animal products and protect their habitats. Many residents praised our activity and said they would join us in protecting wild animals.
This activity not only helped more people realize the significance of protecting wild animals but also made me feel proud of myself. It taught me that everyone can contribute to wildlife protection with small actions.

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。
Not long ago, I found a wallet lying in the street. It had a little money, several small shopping lists, and different cards, including a Washington State driver’s license. I didn’t want to look through it secretly, but I couldn’t help seeing the man’s photo. He looked young, neat, and serious. I imagined this young man finding his wallet lost. The money was not much, but maybe it was all he had. I thought not returning it would be as wrong as stealing.
The address on the license was two miles away. I drove there, but the person living there didn’t know the man in the photo. I kept trying and searched his name online, finally finding his social media page. I sent him a message, saying I had his wallet and left my phone number.
The next day, I took the wallet to the preschool where I work and told my students the story. They had a warm discussion about “lost and found”. One boy said, “If you find something on the ground and no one is around, you should still try to find the owner!” But a little girl asked, “What if it’s a real diamond?” The boy replied, “Especially then — a diamond is too valuable to keep.” I held up the wallet and asked, “Is this too valuable?” The students nodded quickly. “Yes,” one boy said. “It has his picture in it. He will be very sad if he can’t get it back.”
Their simple and clear sense of right and wrong made me more determined. I told them that honesty is always the best choice and that we should always try to help those in trouble. However, as the week passed, the owner didn’t reply at all. His wallet was on my kitchen table, making me feel upset. I wondered how long I should wait before giving up.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Ten days passed without a response from the owner. I began to doubt whether I could ever return the wallet. I considered turning it in to the local police station, but I still hoped to connect with the owner directly. Every time I passed the kitchen counter, my eyes fell on the wallet and I felt a little worried. The kids’ words kept appearing in my mind, reminding me to be patient and never give up easily. I told myself that I should wait a little longer.
Finally, my phone received a new message. It was from the owner! He apologized sincerely for replying late and thanked me repeatedly. We arranged to meet nearby. When he got his wallet back, he was quite excited and tried to give me some money as a reward, but I refused politely. Seeing his big smile, I truly understood the warmth of honesty. This experience also taught me and my students a valuable lesson about kindness and responsibility.
