At the age of 62, when many people begin to slow down, Craig Munns chose to begin again. In his study, there sat a model of a dinosaur, a small object that one day raised a big question in his mind: What should I do next with my life? That moment led him onto a new path — one that eventually made him a palaeontologist (古生物学家).
The lack of a university degree had bothered Munns for years. Instead of remaining stuck in such a mood, he chose to take action. He enrolled (注册) as a part-time student and studied palaeontology. Years later, he graduated with honors. Now, at 65, he works at Geoscience Australia and spends his days studying fossils (化石) hidden inside layers of ancient rock.
What excites him most is not the famous dinosaurs that many people imagine, but small creatures from the distant past. To him, these creatures reveal something deeply meaningful: the amazing flexibility of life. By studying how they lived and adapted, he sees how life survives pressure, change and hardship.
In many ways, Munns understands that struggle personally. While working on an important research paper, he went through a series of painful events. His parents passed away. After that, he was knocked off his bike and broke both arms. Yet none of these hardships made him give up. He kept going, holding on to the dream he chose late in life.
Munns does not believe life should stop at a certain age. Instead, he sees each stage of life as a chance for a fresh adventure. His story shows that dreams do not only belong to the young. With courage, curiosity and perseverance, a person can keep growing, keep learning, and keep moving forward — no matter when the journey begins.
4. What led Munns to restart his life?
A. A long-standing regret. B. His childhood dream.
C. His passion for dinosaurs. D. A deep-seated desire for respect.
5. What amazes Munns most about ancient life?
A. Its distribution. B. Its popularity. C. Its complexity. D. Its adaptability.
6. What can we know about Munns?
A. He sought help from others humbly.
B. He doubted his decision now and then.
C. He attached much importance to teamwork.
D. He committed himself to his late-life dream.
7. Which of the following best matches Munns’ story?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Better late than never.
C. Still water runs deep. D. The early bird catches the worm.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了62岁的克雷格·芒斯因长期遗憾没有大学学位,选择重启人生,以兼职学生身份学习古生物学,毕业后坚持研究,即便遭遇接连的苦难也没有放弃晚年的梦想,最终成为一名古生物学家的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The lack of a university degree had bothered Munns for years. (没有大学学位已经困扰芒斯很多年了。)”可知,这份长久以来的遗憾(缺少大学学位这件事)促使芒斯重启人生。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To him, these creatures reveal something deeply meaningful: the amazing flexibility of life. By studying how they lived and adapted, he sees how life survives pressure, change and hardship. (对他而言,这些生物揭示了极具意义的一点:生命惊人的适应性。通过研究它们如何生存和适应,他了解到生命如何在压力、变化和苦难中存活。)”可知,远古生命的适应性最让芒斯惊叹。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“While working on an important research paper, he went through a series of painful events. His parents passed away. After that, he was knocked off his bike and broke both arms. Yet none of these hardships made him give up. He kept going, holding on to the dream he chose late in life. (在撰写一篇重要研究论文期间,一连串不幸接踵而至:双亲先后离世,之后他被撞下自行车并摔断了双臂。然而这些苦难都没有让他放弃,他始终坚持前行,坚守着自己晚年选择的梦想。)”可知,芒斯经历父母离世、双臂骨折多重磨难,但他一直投身于自己的晚年梦想,全身心坚持追梦。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“His story shows that dreams do not only belong to the young. With courage, curiosity and perseverance, a person can keep growing, keep learning, and keep moving forward — no matter when the journey begins. (他的故事证明,梦想从来不是年轻人的专属。只要拥有勇气、好奇心与毅力,人就能不断成长、持续学习、一路向前——无论这段征程从何时启程。)”并结合全文可知,文章讲述了芒斯在晚年才开启追梦之路,克服困难最终实现自我价值的故事,核心传达了追梦不分年龄,开始再晚也不算晚的主旨,B选项“Better late than never. (迟做总比不做好。)”符合这一核心主旨。
C
Andrena rehni, the chestnut (栗子) mining bee, is a rare species that has not been recorded for decades in the United States. In New York State, its last confirmed sighting was in 1904, leading some researchers to believe that it might have disappeared. However, recent observations suggest that this rare insect may still survive in certain environments.
This species depends heavily on chestnut trees, which declined sharply due to a deadly disease in the early 20th century. As these trees declined, so did the bee populations that relied on them. In recent years, efforts to restore urban chestnut orchards (果园) have gradually brought these trees back, creating conditions in which the bees may return.
Surprisingly, the chestnut mining bee was rediscovered in an urban orchard surrounded by roads and buildings. This finding challenges the common belief that rare species can only exist in untouched natural habitats. Instead, it shows that even human-shaped environments may still support valuable forms of life.
Identifying such bees is far from simple. To an untrained observer, many species of mining bees look nearly identical. Scientists often rely on close examination, sometimes using microscopes, to detect small differences in body structure, such as patterns, textures, or hair placement. These hard-to-notice features are essential for distinguishing one species from another.
The rediscovery of this bee highlights a broader issue: Many insect species remain poorly understood. Some may have disappeared without being noticed, while others may still exist but have simply gone unobserved. This uncertainty has led to growing interest in tracking down“lost” species.
As a result, citizen science has become increasingly important. Ordinary people, by observing insects in gardens, parks, or even backyards, can contribute valuable information. Since scientists cannot cover every location, public participation greatly expands the search.
Ultimately, the case of the chestnut mining bee reminds us that biodiversity may exist closer than we expect. Only by paying attention to the small and often overlooked creatures around us can we better understand — and protect — the natural world.
8. What mainly contributed to the decline of the chestnut mining bee?
A. A sudden change in climate. B. The reduction of its host trees.
C. A serious disease affecting it. D. The strong competition between species.
9. What does the bee’s rediscovery suggest?
A. Wild forests matter most. B. Chestnut trees are fully restored.
C. Cities may still hold biodiversity. D. Urban orchards are more inviting for bees.
10. Why does the author mention citizen science?
A. To raise the awareness about rare bees. B. To highlight the significance of insects.
C. To stress the difficulty in identifying bees. D. To demonstrate the power of the public.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Urban Nature Hides B. A Lost Bee in an Unlikely Place
C. Why Rare Insects Escape Attention D. The Return of America’s Chestnut Trees
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了被认为已经在美国消失数十年的稀有物种栗矿蜂,在纽约的城市果园被重新发现的事件,借此说明人类改造的城市环境中也可能保有生物多样性,并呼吁公众参与追踪“失落”物种的科研活动。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This species depends heavily on chestnut trees, which declined sharply due to a deadly disease in the early 20th century. As these trees declined, so did the bee populations that relied on them. (该物种高度依赖栗树,20世纪初,栗树因一种致命病害大幅减少,随着栗树减少,依赖栗树生存的蜂群数量也随之下降。)”可知,栗矿蜂数量下降的核心原因是寄主栗树减少。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Surprisingly, the chestnut mining bee was rediscovered in an urban orchard surrounded by roads and buildings. This finding challenges the common belief that rare species can only exist in untouched natural habitats. Instead, it shows that even human-shaped environments may still support valuable forms of life. (令人惊讶的是,栗矿蜂在被道路和建筑环绕的城市果园被重新发现。这一发现颠覆了‘稀有物种只能存在于未被人类触碰的自然栖息地’的普遍认知,它表明即使是人类改造的环境也仍然可以孕育珍贵的生命。)”可推知,这次发现说明城市依然可能存在生物多样性。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“As a result, citizen science has become increasingly important. Ordinary people, by observing insects in gardens, parks, or even backyards, can contribute valuable information. Since scientists cannot cover every location, public participation greatly expands the search. (因此,公民科学愈发重要。普通人可以通过在花园、公园甚至后院观察昆虫,贡献宝贵信息。由于科学家无法覆盖所有区域,公众参与极大拓展了搜索范围。)”可知,作者提到公民科学是为了说明公众参与物种搜寻的价值,展现公众的力量。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Andrena rehni, the chestnut mining bee, is a rare species that has not been recorded for decades in the United States. In New York State, its last confirmed sighting was in 1904, leading some researchers to believe that it might have disappeared. However, recent observations suggest that this rare insect may still survive in certain environments. (雷尼分蜂,又称栗矿蜂,是一种稀有蜂类,在美国已有数十年没有观测记录。在纽约州,最后一次确认发现它是1904年,不少研究者一度认为该物种已经灭绝。但近期观测表明,这种罕见昆虫仍可能存活在特定环境中。)”及第三段“Surprisingly, the chestnut mining bee was rediscovered in an urban orchard surrounded by roads and buildings. This finding challenges the common belief that rare species can only exist in untouched natural habitats. Instead, it shows that even human-shaped environments may still support valuable forms of life. (令人惊讶的是,栗矿蜂在被道路和建筑环绕的城市果园被重新发现。这一发现颠覆了‘稀有物种只能存在于未被人类触碰的自然栖息地’的普遍认知,它表明即使是人类改造的环境也仍然可以孕育珍贵的生命。)”并结合全文可知,全文围绕“被认为消失数十年的稀有栗矿蜂,在原本大家认为不可能存在稀有物种的城市环境被重新发现”这一核心事件展开,B选项“A Lost Bee in an Unlikely Place (一只失踪蜜蜂出现在不可能之地)”契合核心主旨,适合作为标题。
D
When a bone breaks severely, it does not always heal (愈合) on its own. In such cases, doctors commonly rely on bone grafts (移植) or metal implants to stabilize the damaged area. Yet neither solution is ideal. Bone grafts require an additional operation to remove bone from another part of the patient’s body, extending recovery and increasing risks. Metal implants, though widely used, are far harder than natural bone and may gradually loosen over time. Rarely has a material been developed that truly works with the body’s own healing process rather than just replacing it.
It is precisely this challenge that researchers at ETH Zurich have attempted to address. They have created a soft gel (凝胶) designed to mimic the body’s earliest stage of bone repair. Containing mostly water, the material can be shaped by laser (激光) light into extremely delicate structures, some even thinner than a human hair. Not only is the technique precise, but it also makes it possible to reproduce patterns similar to those found inside natural bone.
To understand the idea behind this design, one must first consider how the body heals a break. When a bone is first damaged, hard tissue does not immediately appear. Instead, a soft network forms around the injured area, allowing repair cells to enter and begin rebuilding the tissue. Gradually, this temporary structure becomes stronger and eventually develops into solid bone.
Inspired by this natural process, the researchers designed the new material to provide temporary support. When exposed to carefully controlled laser light, parts of the gel quickly harden and form stable structures, while the remaining material stays soft and can be removed. What is left behind is a fine internal framework similar to the hidden architecture of real bone.
So far, the material has been tested only in laboratory studies. Although further research is still required, the early results are promising. If future studies prove its effectiveness, this laser-shaped material may offer a safer and more natural method for repairing severe bone injuries.
12. Why are traditional treatments for bone breaks far from satisfying?
A. They involve harmful materials. B. They require regular medical checks.
C. They carry risks of further damage. D. They are expensive for most patients.
13. What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Copy. B. Stop. C. Extend. D. Estimate.
14. What do we learn about the newly designed gel?
A. It directly heals several bone injuries.
B. It is widely acknowledged to be effective.
C. It remains unchanged when exposed to laser light.
D. It acts as a short-term framework for bone repair.
15. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text?
A. To analyze the process of bone healing.
B. To compare materials used in bone grafts.
C. To introduce an alternative for bone recovery.
D. To describe laser technology for medical research.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍一款仿生凝胶新材料,有望替代传统方案修复严重骨折。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bone grafts require an additional operation to remove bone from another part of the patient’s body, extending recovery and increasing risks. Metal implants, though widely used, are far harder than natural bone and may gradually loosen over time.(骨移植需要额外手术从患者身体其他部位取骨,延长恢复期并增加风险;金属植入物硬度远超原生骨骼,久了还可能松动)”可知,两种传统疗法都会带来额外风险、造成二次损伤隐患,因此不尽人意。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When a bone is first damaged, hard tissue does not immediately appear. Instead, a soft network forms around the injured area.(骨骼刚受损时不会立刻长出硬组织,而是患处先形成柔软网状结构)”与第二段中“They have created a soft gel (凝胶) designed to mimic the body’s earliest stage of bone repair.(研究人员研发软凝胶,用来mimic人体骨骼修复最初阶段)”可知,凝胶复刻人体天然修复过程。mimic意思是“复刻,模仿”。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Inspired by this natural process, the researchers designed the new material to provide temporary support. When exposed to carefully controlled laser light, parts of the gel quickly harden and form stable structures, while the remaining material stays soft and can be removed. What is left behind is a fine internal framework similar to the hidden architecture of real bone.(受这一人体自然修复过程的启发,研究人员研发出这种新材料,用以提供临时支撑。当凝胶受到精准调控的激光照射时,部分凝胶会迅速硬化,形成稳固结构,其余部分则保持柔软,后续可被清理移除。最终留存下来的是细密的内部支架,其结构与真实骨骼内部隐秘的构架十分相似)”可知,这款凝胶充当骨骼修复的临时支架。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“They have created a soft gel (凝胶) designed to mimic the body’s earliest stage of bone repair.(研究人员研发软凝胶,用来模拟人体骨骼修复最初阶段)”可知,文章先指出传统骨折治疗的缺陷,再介绍苏黎世联邦理工研发的激光塑形仿生凝胶,说明其原理、优势与应用前景,核心是介绍一种全新骨折修复替代方案。

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。
For almost ten years, the bell in Mr. Carter’s classroom meant much more than the beginning of class. The old bell sat on the teacher’s desk. It was a little rusty (生锈的), but it still looked important. Every morning at exactly 8:00, Mr. Carter rang it once. Its clear sound spread through the hallway and brought peace to every student.
Mr. Carter was more than just a teacher to his students. He remembered their birthdays, kept extra pencils for them, and even had a hidden box of snacks for children who were hungry. His classroom was warm and welcoming. Still, the bell was the most special thing in the room. To many children, its sound meant that everything was fine.
After teaching for 30 years, Mr. Carter retired. The school held a small party for him. He smiled, accepted hugs, and shared cake with everyone. He left the school, carrying his precious memories and the old bell that had accompanied him for many years.
Soon, a new teacher Lucy took over the class and brought a new cold electronic alarm. Most students got used to it, but Noah did not. The mechanical sound felt hollow and unpleasant to him. Deprived (剥夺) of the soft, warm ringing, the classroom lost its warmth and sense of safety. Every morning when the electronic alarm went off, Noah would lower his head quietly, missing the peaceful moment the old bell brought.
Weeks passed, and Noah’s sadness didn’t fall away. Noah’s mom reached out to the school, sharing how her son had always relied on the soft, steady jingle of Mr. Carter’s old bell to feel settled. Lucy’s heart sank after hearing the story. No one had realized that a simple rusty bell had been Noah’s most important sense of security for such a long time. Determined to cheer the boy up, Lucy made up her mind to lend a hand.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

On a Sunday morning, Lucy appeared at Mr. Carter’s door.

At 8:00 the next Monday, Noah heard the familiar ringing sound.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
On a Sunday morning, Lucy appeared at Mr. Carter’s door. After a brief greeting, she gently explained the whole story in detail: how Noah could not adapt to the cold electronic alarm, how he fell into quiet sadness every morning, and how the soft ringing of the old bell had long been his unique sense of security and spiritual comfort. Deeply touched, Mr. Carter went inside and returned with the old bell in hand. Though the old bell carried his thirty years of warm teaching memories, he selflessly presented it to Lucy, willing to let its gentle tone heal the lonely boy’s heart.
At 8:00 the next Monday, Noah heard the familiar ringing sound. He froze instantly, eyes widening in disbelief before he slowly raised his head. On the teacher’s desk lay that rusty yet warm old bell, sending out clear and soothing ripples of sound. A surge of warmth flooded his heart, chasing away all his loneliness and unease. A soft, genuine smile spread across his face. The quiet classroom was filled with gentle warmth once more. That simple bell ringing became the sweetest morning greeting, passing on kindness and warmth to every student in the classroom.

At the age of 62, when many people begin to slow down, Craig Munns chose to begin again. In his study, there sat a model of a dinosaur, a small object that one day raised a big question in his mind: What should I do next with my life? That moment led him onto a new path — one that eventually made him a palaeontologist (古生物学家).
The lack of a university degree had bothered Munns for years. Instead of remaining stuck in such a mood, he chose to take action. He enrolled (注册) as a part-time student and studied palaeontology. Years later, he graduated with honors. Now, at 65, he works at Geoscience Australia and spends his days studying fossils (化石) hidden inside layers of ancient rock.
What excites him most is not the famous dinosaurs that many people imagine, but small creatures from the distant past. To him, these creatures reveal something deeply meaningful: the amazing flexibility of life. By studying how they lived and adapted, he sees how life survives pressure, change and hardship.
In many ways, Munns understands that struggle personally. While working on an important research paper, he went through a series of painful events. His parents passed away. After that, he was knocked off his bike and broke both arms. Yet none of these hardships made him give up. He kept going, holding on to the dream he chose late in life.
Munns does not believe life should stop at a certain age. Instead, he sees each stage of life as a chance for a fresh adventure. His story shows that dreams do not only belong to the young. With courage, curiosity and perseverance, a person can keep growing, keep learning, and keep moving forward — no matter when the journey begins.
4. What led Munns to restart his life?
A. A long-standing regret. B. His childhood dream.
C. His passion for dinosaurs. D. A deep-seated desire for respect.
5. What amazes Munns most about ancient life?
A. Its distribution. B. Its popularity. C. Its complexity. D. Its adaptability.
6. What can we know about Munns?
A. He sought help from others humbly.
B. He doubted his decision now and then.
C. He attached much importance to teamwork.
D. He committed himself to his late-life dream.
7. Which of the following best matches Munns’ story?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Better late than never.
C. Still water runs deep. D. The early bird catches the worm.
C
Andrena rehni, the chestnut (栗子) mining bee, is a rare species that has not been recorded for decades in the United States. In New York State, its last confirmed sighting was in 1904, leading some researchers to believe that it might have disappeared. However, recent observations suggest that this rare insect may still survive in certain environments.
This species depends heavily on chestnut trees, which declined sharply due to a deadly disease in the early 20th century. As these trees declined, so did the bee populations that relied on them. In recent years, efforts to restore urban chestnut orchards (果园) have gradually brought these trees back, creating conditions in which the bees may return.
Surprisingly, the chestnut mining bee was rediscovered in an urban orchard surrounded by roads and buildings. This finding challenges the common belief that rare species can only exist in untouched natural habitats. Instead, it shows that even human-shaped environments may still support valuable forms of life.
Identifying such bees is far from simple. To an untrained observer, many species of mining bees look nearly identical. Scientists often rely on close examination, sometimes using microscopes, to detect small differences in body structure, such as patterns, textures, or hair placement. These hard-to-notice features are essential for distinguishing one species from another.
The rediscovery of this bee highlights a broader issue: Many insect species remain poorly understood. Some may have disappeared without being noticed, while others may still exist but have simply gone unobserved. This uncertainty has led to growing interest in tracking down“lost” species.
As a result, citizen science has become increasingly important. Ordinary people, by observing insects in gardens, parks, or even backyards, can contribute valuable information. Since scientists cannot cover every location, public participation greatly expands the search.
Ultimately, the case of the chestnut mining bee reminds us that biodiversity may exist closer than we expect. Only by paying attention to the small and often overlooked creatures around us can we better understand — and protect — the natural world.
8. What mainly contributed to the decline of the chestnut mining bee?
A. A sudden change in climate. B. The reduction of its host trees.
C. A serious disease affecting it. D. The strong competition between species.
9. What does the bee’s rediscovery suggest?
A. Wild forests matter most. B. Chestnut trees are fully restored.
C. Cities may still hold biodiversity. D. Urban orchards are more inviting for bees.
10. Why does the author mention citizen science?
A. To raise the awareness about rare bees. B. To highlight the significance of insects.
C. To stress the difficulty in identifying bees. D. To demonstrate the power of the public.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Urban Nature Hides B. A Lost Bee in an Unlikely Place
C. Why Rare Insects Escape Attention D. The Return of America’s Chestnut Trees
D
When a bone breaks severely, it does not always heal (愈合) on its own. In such cases, doctors commonly rely on bone grafts (移植) or metal implants to stabilize the damaged area. Yet neither solution is ideal. Bone grafts require an additional operation to remove bone from another part of the patient’s body, extending recovery and increasing risks. Metal implants, though widely used, are far harder than natural bone and may gradually loosen over time. Rarely has a material been developed that truly works with the body’s own healing process rather than just replacing it.
It is precisely this challenge that researchers at ETH Zurich have attempted to address. They have created a soft gel (凝胶) designed to mimic the body’s earliest stage of bone repair. Containing mostly water, the material can be shaped by laser (激光) light into extremely delicate structures, some even thinner than a human hair. Not only is the technique precise, but it also makes it possible to reproduce patterns similar to those found inside natural bone.
To understand the idea behind this design, one must first consider how the body heals a break. When a bone is first damaged, hard tissue does not immediately appear. Instead, a soft network forms around the injured area, allowing repair cells to enter and begin rebuilding the tissue. Gradually, this temporary structure becomes stronger and eventually develops into solid bone.
Inspired by this natural process, the researchers designed the new material to provide temporary support. When exposed to carefully controlled laser light, parts of the gel quickly harden and form stable structures, while the remaining material stays soft and can be removed. What is left behind is a fine internal framework similar to the hidden architecture of real bone.
So far, the material has been tested only in laboratory studies. Although further research is still required, the early results are promising. If future studies prove its effectiveness, this laser-shaped material may offer a safer and more natural method for repairing severe bone injuries.
12. Why are traditional treatments for bone breaks far from satisfying?
A. They involve harmful materials. B. They require regular medical checks.
C. They carry risks of further damage. D. They are expensive for most patients.
13. What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Copy. B. Stop. C. Extend. D. Estimate.
14. What do we learn about the newly designed gel?
A. It directly heals several bone injuries.
B. It is widely acknowledged to be effective.
C. It remains unchanged when exposed to laser light.
D. It acts as a short-term framework for bone repair.
15. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text?
A. To analyze the process of bone healing.
B. To compare materials used in bone grafts.
C. To introduce an alternative for bone recovery.
D. To describe laser technology for medical research.

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。
For almost ten years, the bell in Mr. Carter’s classroom meant much more than the beginning of class. The old bell sat on the teacher’s desk. It was a little rusty (生锈的), but it still looked important. Every morning at exactly 8:00, Mr. Carter rang it once. Its clear sound spread through the hallway and brought peace to every student.
Mr. Carter was more than just a teacher to his students. He remembered their birthdays, kept extra pencils for them, and even had a hidden box of snacks for children who were hungry. His classroom was warm and welcoming. Still, the bell was the most special thing in the room. To many children, its sound meant that everything was fine.
After teaching for 30 years, Mr. Carter retired. The school held a small party for him. He smiled, accepted hugs, and shared cake with everyone. He left the school, carrying his precious memories and the old bell that had accompanied him for many years.
Soon, a new teacher Lucy took over the class and brought a new cold electronic alarm. Most students got used to it, but Noah did not. The mechanical sound felt hollow and unpleasant to him. Deprived (剥夺) of the soft, warm ringing, the classroom lost its warmth and sense of safety. Every morning when the electronic alarm went off, Noah would lower his head quietly, missing the peaceful moment the old bell brought.
Weeks passed, and Noah’s sadness didn’t fall away. Noah’s mom reached out to the school, sharing how her son had always relied on the soft, steady jingle of Mr. Carter’s old bell to feel settled. Lucy’s heart sank after hearing the story. No one had realized that a simple rusty bell had been Noah’s most important sense of security for such a long time. Determined to cheer the boy up, Lucy made up her mind to lend a hand.
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。
On a Sunday morning, Lucy appeared at Mr. Carter’s door.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At 8:00 the next Monday, Noah heard the familiar ringing sound.
