They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves. Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. “Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn’t do on his own. Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships.” he told CBS News. “My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.” John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say. ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.” 24. What does the term “pilot” refer to in the text? A. A driver of a trishaw. B. A group leader. C. A test version of a project. D. A professional airplane operator. 25. What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders? A. They learn more about world history. B. They get paid for their time. C. They form connections with the elderly. D. They improve their cycling skills. 26. Who first started Cycling Without Age? A. Hugh Lyon. B. David Lawrence. C. John Boettner. D. Ole Kassow. 27. Why does John Boettner require passengers to wave during the bike rides? A. To keep them awake. B. To make them exercise. C. To promote the program. D. To signal to other drivers. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“无龄骑行”组织让年轻人陪老人骑行并建立友谊的故事。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides.(56 岁的劳伦斯担任“pilot”，驾驶着三轮车 —— 一种前面有乘客座位的自行车，“无龄骑行”组织用它来骑行)” 可知，“pilot”指的是三轮车的驾驶者。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.”(“尽管我的父母已经去世，但这让我与老一辈人建立了联系。” 劳伦斯说。“而且我喜欢和他们在一起，听他们讲故事。”)”可知，骑行对年轻骑手的主要好处是他们与老年人建立了联系。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program.(“无龄骑行”组织的创始人奥莱・卡索说，这就是这个项目的力量)”可知，最先创立“无龄骑行”组织的是Ole Kassow。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.”(他说他喜欢遇到红灯的时候，因为这给了他们一个与路上的人交流的机会。“驾驶三轮车是无龄骑行最好的广告，”博特纳说。“当你带着一位101岁的老太太去骑自行车，她紧紧握住你的手，说谢谢你，然后在你的脸颊上亲一下，没有比这更好的了。”)”可知，约翰・博特纳要求乘客在骑行时挥手是为了推广这个项目。故选C。 C When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design. Researchers in Finland have uncovered the surprising evolution (演变) of bird feeder design over the past century. The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders. The study’s results paint a picture of constant innovation in bird feeder design. Early designs were simple, often just flat wooden boards. As bird feeding became more popular, designs became more complex. Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days. Concerns about cats and other predators (捕食者) led to hanging designs and feeders mounted on tall poles In the mid-20th century, there was a shift towards excluding larger birds. Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably. Perhaps the most significant change came in the 1980s, when concerns about salmonella (沙门氏菌) led to a complete rethinking of bird feeder design. New models prevented birds from sitting directly above the food, and materials shifted from wood to more easily cleaned metals and plastics While this study provides a fascinating look at the evolution of bird feeder design, it does have some limitations. The research focuses only on Finland, and practices may have differed in other countries. The study relies on published materials, which may not fully represent all bird feeder designs in use at any given time. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bird feeder design serves as a reminder of the unintended consequences of our interactions with nature. Every attempt to solve one problem — keeping out cats, excluding larger birds, or preventing disease transmission creates new challenges and motivates further innovation. 28. What did the Finnish researchers use to study bird feeder design evolution? A. Internet blog posts. B. Interviews with bird experts. C. Advertisements from bird feeder manufacturers. D. Finnish newspapers and magazines. 29. Why were bird feeders designed with roofs? A. To make them easier to clean. B. To attract a wider variety of birds. C. To prevent larger birds from using them. D. To protect the food from rain and snow. 30. What does the underlined word “excluding” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including. B. Attracting. C. Preventing. D. Protecting. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Bird Feeding B. The Evolution of Bird Feeder Design C. The Impact of Bird Feeders on Wildlife D. Innovations in Bird Feeding Techniques 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了芬兰研究人员通过研究当地报纸杂志揭示了鸟食器设计在过去一个世纪的演变过程。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders.(该团队研究了从19世纪末到20世纪末的芬兰报纸和杂志，分析了所有与喂鸟器相关的内容)”可知，芬兰研究人员使用芬兰报纸和杂志来研究鸟食器设计演变。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days.(增加了屋顶，以便在雨雪天为食物提供保护)”可知，鸟食器设计有屋顶是为了保护食物不受雨雪侵袭。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句后文“Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably.(设计的特点是开口较小，或者太小，大鸟无法舒适地使用)”可知，设计的特点是开口较小，或者太小，大鸟无法舒适地使用，说明是为了防止大鸟进入，故划线词意思是“防止”，与Preventing意思相近。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design.(当你在院子里安装一个喂鸟器时，你可能认为自己只是在为你的鸟类朋友提供一顿饭。但一项有趣的新研究表明，这些看似简单的设备有着复杂的设计历史)”结合文章主要说明了芬兰研究人员通过研究当地报纸杂志揭示了鸟食器设计在过去一个世纪的演变过程。可知，B选项“鸟食器设计的演变”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D We all know someone who never seems to be on time. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 32. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 33. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 34. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 35. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C. Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要探讨从大脑机制、空间熟悉度、环境拥挤度和人格特质等多个角度，科学分析了导致人们迟到行为的各种因素。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句““The hippocampus is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. (Spiers说：“海马体是大脑中处理与时间有关的方面的区域，比如记住什么时候该做什么事情以及需要多长时间。)”可知，海马体的功能是处理与时间相关的记忆。故选A项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段主要描述了一项关于空间熟悉度对时间估计影响的研究。根据第四段第三句“While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. (当学生们对一个区域很熟悉时，他们对空间的估计会扩大，但对旅行时间的估计会随着熟悉度的增加而减少。)可知，本段重点讨论空间熟悉度如何影响时间估计。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。全文共六段，第一段是总起段，后面泽讨论了导致迟到的多个因素，包括：海马体对时间的处理（第二、三段）、空间熟悉度（第四段）、环境拥挤度（第五段）和人格特质（第六段）。唯独没有提到“步行速度”这个因素。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。全文从心理学和神经科学的角度分析了迟到的原因，属于生活心理学的范畴。根据最后一段第一句“Personality also plays a role in running late. (人格特质也会影响迟到行为。)等心理学相关论述可知，最可能读到该文的应是某网站上“生活方式与心理学”这一栏目。故选D项。 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。 How to Beat Boredom over the Summer The first week of summer is wonderful.

Kyle had a physical problem that made it difficult for him to move around like everyone else. He used crutches (拐杖) to walk, which sometimes made him a target for bullying (欺侮) by some unfriendly students. One day, a group of mean kids ran towards him, knocking all his books out of his arms, and he fell to the ground. His glasses flew off, and I saw them land on the ground about ten feet away from him. He looked up, and I saw deep sadness in his eyes. I felt sorry for him. So, I ran over to him, and as he searched for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. I gave him his glasses back and said, “Those guys are mean. They should find something better to do.” He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a really nice boy. We hung out every weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Despite his challenge, Kyle had a great spirit. He never let his difficulties define him and always faced them with bravery and a positive attitude. Kyle was the top student in our class. He was one of those guys who really grew a lot during high school. Sometimes I felt a bit envious. And the day when we held the graduation ceremony was one of those days. I could see that he was worried about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy! You’ll do great!!” He looked at me with that really grateful look and smiled. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat and began, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you get through the tough times. Your parents, your teachers, your brothers and sisters, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I’m here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I’m going to tell you a story.” 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。 I just looked at my friend in surprise as he told the story of the day we met. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I smiled back, tears in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I just looked at my friend in surprise as he told the story of the day we met. Kyle recalled that he had thought about running away over the weekend. He talked about how he had cleaned out his school’s locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. Meanwhile, I noticed he looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from making a big mistake.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this friendly, well-liked boy shared his vulnerable moment. When his eyes met mine, I could see tears shining in his smiling eyes. I smiled back, tears in my eyes. It wasn’t until that moment that I realized how much of a difference one small act of kindness had made to him. I even saw his mom and dad looking at me, smiling that same grateful smile. It hit me that we should never underestimate the power of our actions. With one small act, we can change a person’s life, for better or for worse. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Kyle的身体残疾，需要拄拐杖走路，这导致他经常遭到霸凌。一天，作者看到他拄着拐杖抱着书本走路，一群坏孩子把他的书故意撞掉，让他摔到了地上，作者帮助了他，这也成了他们友谊的开始。毕业典礼时Kyle在演讲中提到了作者那天帮助他的故事，这让作者明白了自己小小的善举竟然对他产生如此大的影响。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“我只是惊讶地看着我的朋友，那时他讲述了我们见面那天的故事。”可知，第一段可以描写Kyle讲述的那天发生的事情。 ②由续写第二段首句“我也笑了，眼里含着泪水。”可知，第二段可以描写作者的感受和感悟。 2. 段落续写：Kyle回忆和作者相遇的那天——感激作者——作者意识到自己的善举对Kyle意义重大——Kyle的父母也非常感激——作者感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①回忆：recall/look back on ②注意到：notice/spot/note ③对……产生影响：make a difference to/have an influence on 情绪类 ①惊讶地：in surprise/surprisedly ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】It wasn’t until that moment that I realized how much of a difference one small act of kindness had made to him. (使用了it is/was not until…that…强调句以及how引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】I even saw his mom and dad looking at me, smiling that same grateful smile.(使用了现在分词分别作宾语补足语和状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。What do you do in your spare time?

Every Time You Hear That Song Inspired by Dolly Parton’s real-life time capsule(胶囊), which sits in Dollywood, waiting to be opened on Dolly’s 100th birthday, Every Time You Hear That Song is written by Jenna Voris from two points of view. The first is that of 17-year-old Darren Purchase, a journalist from the small town of Mayberry, Arkansas, who wants to unearth the story behind country music legend Decklee Cassel’s empty time capsule. The second is that of Decklee Cassel in the 1960s, coming up in the music world, and what she had to give up to succeed. Snowglobe In Soyoung Park’s award-winning novel, all is not what it seems in Snowglobe — the sunny, green, celebrity-filled city and the last place on earth that isn’t frozen. Residents of the frozen world (the result of the climate crisis) work hard to keep Snowglobe warm. This book is translated from the original Korean. Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up written by Sonia Patel is considered as a tough read that’s worth the discomfort.

They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves. Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. “Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn’t do on his own. Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships.” he told CBS News. “My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.” John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say. ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.” 24. What does the term “pilot” refer to in the text? A. A driver of a trishaw. B. A group leader. C. A test version of a project. D. A professional airplane operator. 25. What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders? A. They learn more about world history. B. They get paid for their time. C. They form connections with the elderly. D. They improve their cycling skills. 26. Who first started Cycling Without Age? A. Hugh Lyon. B. David Lawrence. C. John Boettner. D. Ole Kassow. 27. Why does John Boettner require passengers to wave during the bike rides? A. To keep them awake. B. To make them exercise. C. To promote the program. D. To signal to other drivers. C When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design. Researchers in Finland have uncovered the surprising evolution (演变) of bird feeder design over the past century. The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders. The study’s results paint a picture of constant innovation in bird feeder design. Early designs were simple, often just flat wooden boards. As bird feeding became more popular, designs became more complex. Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days. Concerns about cats and other predators (捕食者) led to hanging designs and feeders mounted on tall poles In the mid-20th century, there was a shift towards excluding larger birds. Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably. Perhaps the most significant change came in the 1980s, when concerns about salmonella (沙门氏菌) led to a complete rethinking of bird feeder design. New models prevented birds from sitting directly above the food, and materials shifted from wood to more easily cleaned metals and plastics While this study provides a fascinating look at the evolution of bird feeder design, it does have some limitations. The research focuses only on Finland, and practices may have differed in other countries. The study relies on published materials, which may not fully represent all bird feeder designs in use at any given time. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bird feeder design serves as a reminder of the unintended consequences of our interactions with nature. Every attempt to solve one problem — keeping out cats, excluding larger birds, or preventing disease transmission creates new challenges and motivates further innovation. 28. What did the Finnish researchers use to study bird feeder design evolution? A. Internet blog posts. B. Interviews with bird experts. C. Advertisements from bird feeder manufacturers. D. Finnish newspapers and magazines. 29. Why were bird feeders designed with roofs? A. To make them easier to clean. B. To attract a wider variety of birds. C. To prevent larger birds from using them. D. To protect the food from rain and snow. 30. What does the underlined word “excluding” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including. B. Attracting. C. Preventing. D. Protecting. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Bird Feeding B. The Evolution of Bird Feeder Design C. The Impact of Bird Feeders on Wildlife D. Innovations in Bird Feeding Techniques D We all know someone who never seems to be on time. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 32. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 33. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 34. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 35. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C. Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. 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。 How to Beat Boredom over the Summer The first week of summer is wonderful.

His name was Kyle. Kyle had a physical problem that made it difficult for him to move around like everyone else. He used crutches (拐杖) to walk, which sometimes made him a target for bullying (欺侮) by some unfriendly students. One day, a group of mean kids ran towards him, knocking all his books out of his arms, and he fell to the ground. His glasses flew off, and I saw them land on the ground about ten feet away from him. He looked up, and I saw deep sadness in his eyes. I felt sorry for him. So, I ran over to him, and as he searched for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. I gave him his glasses back and said, “Those guys are mean. They should find something better to do.” He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a really nice boy. We hung out every weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Despite his challenge, Kyle had a great spirit. He never let his difficulties define him and always faced them with bravery and a positive attitude. Kyle was the top student in our class. He was one of those guys who really grew a lot during high school. Sometimes I felt a bit envious. And the day when we held the graduation ceremony was one of those days. I could see that he was worried about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy! You’ll do great!!” He looked at me with that really grateful look and smiled. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat and began, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you get through the tough times. Your parents, your teachers, your brothers and sisters, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I’m here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I’m going to tell you a story.” 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。 I just looked at my friend in surprise as he told the story of the day we met. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I smiled back, tears in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
