Yet some still dream big. In a record-breaking first, German engineer Michaela Benthaus became the first wheelchair user to travel to outer space. Benthaus launched into outer space while on board the New Shepard NS-37, which was piloted by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’s space tourism company. Initially, Benthaus wondered if her paraplegia (截瘫) would prove too much of a challenge. “I always wanted to go to space, but I never really considered it something I could actually do,” Benthaus explained. Before her flight, Benthaus prepared to address her physical limitations in microgravity. She also rode alongside former SpaceX executive and friend, Hans Koenigsmann, who received training before the flight on how to assist Benthaus if needed. The journey, which took around ten minutes, rocketed Koenigsmann, Benthaus, and four other passengers above Earth’s surface. They traveled at more than three times the speed of sound. At the peak of the flight path, passengers experienced a brief period of weightlessness. Benthaus prepared a strap (带子) for her legs beforehand to keep her legs bound so she could leave her seat and look at the Earth from outside the window. “I did really love the view and the microgravity phase, and I also loved all the going up,” she shared. Benthaus began using a wheelchair after a 2018 mountain biking accident left her with spinal cord injuries. Her space journey was part of a campaign to raise money for the nonprofit Wings of Life that researches spinal cord injuries. Her injuries made her more aware of the challenges faced by people with disabilities. “After my accident, I really figured out how inaccessible our world still is,” she said. Still, her disability didn’t affect her ability to enjoy her flight into outer space. Benthaus’s flight points to a future in which access to space is slowly expanding, creating more inclusivity on Earth and beyond. 4. What can be known about Benthaus before her flight? A. She wasn’t expecting any challenge. B. She doubted her ability to make it. C. She didn’t consider it worth pursuing. D. She relied entirely on others to live. 5. How did Benthaus feel during the space journey? A. She regretted going on the mission. B. She preferred sightseeing to going up. C. She found it an enjoyable experience. D. She realized it was riskier than expected. 6. Why did Benthaus choose to travel into space? A. To receive better treatment. B. To contribute to charity work. C. To do research on her injuries. D. To fund people with disabilities. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The first space traveler in a wheelchair. B. A frightening flight into outer space. C. The ups and downs of a special traveler. D. An engineer recovering from an accident. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了德国工程师Michaela Benthaus成为首位进入太空的轮椅使用者，展现了太空旅行对残障人士的包容性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Initially, Benthaus wondered if her paraplegia (截瘫) would prove too much of a challenge. (起初，本陶斯担心自己的截瘫会成为巨大阻碍。)”可知，她曾怀疑自己能否完成太空旅行。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I did really love the view and the microgravity phase, and I also loved all the going up(我十分喜爱太空景色、失重阶段以及升空的全过程)”可知，她觉得这次太空之旅十分愉快。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Her space journey was part of a campaign to raise money for the nonprofit Wings of Life that researches spinal cord injuries.(她的太空之旅是为公益组织筹款活动的一部分，该组织专注于脊髓损伤研究。)”可知，她此举是为助力慈善事业。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a record-breaking first, German engineer Michaela Benthaus became the first wheelchair user to travel to outer space.

New research now shows these tiny plastic particles (颗粒) also arrive through the air and gradually build up in forest soils. Geoscientists at TU Darmstadt report this finding in a study published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment, highlighting a largely overlooked form of environmental pollution. “The microplastics from the atmosphere initially settle on the leaves of the tree crowns,” explains lead author Dr. Collin J. Weber. “Then the particles are transported to the forest soil by rain or the autumn leaf fall, for example.” To better understand how microplastics gather, the research team collected samples from four forest sites east of Darmstadt in Germany. They analyzed soil, fallen leaves, and atmospheric deposition — the transport of substances from the Earth’s atmosphere to the Earth’s surface — using a newly developed method combined with spectroscopic (光谱) techniques. In addition, the scientists created a model to estimate how much microplastic has entered forests from the atmosphere since the 1950s. This helped them assess how much of the total pollution stored in forest soils can be traced back to airborne sources. “Our results indicate that microplastics in forest soils originate primarily from atmospheric deposition and from leaves falling to the ground, known as litterfall. Other sources, on the other hand, have only a minor influence,” explains Weber. “We conclude that forests are good indicators of atmospheric microplastic pollution and that a high concentration of microplastics in forest soils indicates a high input of particles from the air into these ecosystems.” The findings provide an important foundation for evaluating the environmental risks of microplastics in both air and soil. “Forests are already threatened by climate change, and our findings suggest that microplastics could now pose an additional threat to forest ecosystems,” says Weber. The results may also have implications for human health, as they reveal how microplastics travel globally through the atmosphere and may be present in the air we breathe. 8. What did the researchers do for the study? A. They transported better soils to four forest sites. B. They mainly analyzed data from the 19th century. C. They created a model for improving global air quality. D. They combined field sampling with laboratory techniques. 9. What does Weber say about microplastics in forest soils in paragraph 4? A. They come from a single source. B. They can be reduced by litterfall. C. They have little impact on ecosystems. D. They might reflect air pollution levels. 10. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Significance of the study findings. B. Limitations of the research method. C. Possible direction for further research. D. Causes of unconvincing conclusions. 11. From which is the text most probably taken? A. A science report. B. A geography textbook. C. An environmental policy brief. D. An academic journal on agriculture. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了研究发现微塑料会通过大气沉降聚集在森林土壤中，阐明其传播途径，并指出该研究成果的环境与健康警示意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They analyzed soil, fallen leaves, and atmospheric deposition — the transport of substances from the Earth’s atmosphere to the Earth’s surface — using a newly developed method combined with spectroscopic (光谱) techniques.(他们采用新方法结合光谱技术，分析了土壤、落叶以及大气沉降物。)”可知，研究人员结合实地采样与实验技术开展研究。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We conclude that forests are good indicators of atmospheric microplastic pollution and that a high concentration of microplastics in forest soils indicates a high input of particles from the air into these ecosystems. (我们得出结论：森林是大气微塑料污染的良好指标，森林土壤中的高浓度微塑料意味着空气中颗粒物大量流入生态系统。)”可知，森林土壤中的微塑料能够反映空气污染水平。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The findings provide an important foundation for evaluating the environmental risks of microplastics in both air and soil.(该研究成果为评估空气和土壤中微塑料的环境风险奠定了重要基础。)”及段落内容可知，本段重点讲述此项研究发现的重要意义。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Geoscientists at TU Darmstadt report this finding in a study published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment, highlighting a largely overlooked form of environmental pollution.(达姆施塔特工业大学的地球科学家在《自然·通讯：地球与环境》发表研究，指出一种被忽视的环境污染问题。)”可知，文章围绕科学研究与环境问题展开，最有可能出自一份科学报道。 D The promise of artificial intelligence has been simple: let the machines help do the work. However, it may be creating a new headache from taking care of the machines. A new study suggests that instead of making work easier, AI may be giving some workers what researchers are calling “brain fry.” Researchers surveyed about 1,500 workers and found that people constantly bouncing between multiple AI tools reported more decision fatigue (疲劳) and more errors. About one in seven workers said they had experienced mental fatigue from using AI tools at work. “AI can run far ahead of us, but we’re still here with the same brain we had yesterday,” said Julie Bedard, managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group and an author of the study. She said the findings are an early warning sign that expectations around AI productivity may need recalibrating. “AI is good in some ways for work,” Bedard said. “However, intensive oversight of AI leads to mental burnout.” For people working deeply with AI tools, the concept of “brain fry” is nothing new. Jack Downey, Head of Strategy, Operations and Product at Webster Pass Consulting, uses AI daily to build automation (自动化) systems and finds there is additional mental pressure that comes from AI workflows. “I usually have several different windows open... constantly waiting...” he said. “It might take five seconds to do one task, 50 seconds to do another task, and five minutes to do another task.” “For years, many predictions about AI suggested the technology would allow fewer workers to do more work faster. But if AI is already pushing workers toward mental overload, organizations may need to rethink those assumptions,” Bedard said. If businesses don’t figure that out, their bottom lines may suffer. Workers experiencing AI brain fry reported more mistakes, slower decision-making, and higher fatigue. Bedard is clear that the solution is not abandoning AI, but rethinking how human workers best interact with these tools as AI develops fast. 12. What does the underlined word “recalibrating” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recalling. B. Readjusting. C. Repeating. D. Recognizing. 13. What is a problem for Downey? A. Inability to use AI as an assistant. B. Little knowledge of updating AI tools. C. Unfamiliarity with automation systems. D. Stress from AI-assisted multi-tasking. 14. What does Bedard suggest businesses do? A. assign AI tools to make more decisions. B. Give up the use of interactive AI tools. C. Balance the human worker-AI relationship. D. Replace more human workers with AI tools. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Essential Role AI Plays in the Workplace. B. The Challenges of Employing Various AI Tools. C. AI Can Cause Human Workers’ Mental Burnout. D. AI Productivity Motivates Humans to Work Harder. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述研究发现，使用AI工具会导致人类员工“脑疲劳”，企业需重新思考人机协作方式。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“She said the findings are an early warning sign that expectations around AI productivity may need recalibrating. “AI is good in some ways for work,” Bedard said. “However, intensive oversight of AI leads to mental burnout.” (她表示，这些发现是一个早期预警信号，表明人们对人工智能生产力的期望可能需要recalibrating。“人工智能在某些方面对工作有好处，”贝达德说，“然而，对人工智能的密集监督会导致精神倦怠。”)”可知，对人工智能的密集监督会导致精神倦怠，原有的对人工智能生产力的预期可能需要调整。recalibrating意为“重新校准/调整”，与readjusting意思最接近。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Jack Downey, Head of Strategy, Operations and Product at Webster Pass Consulting, uses AI daily to build automation (自动化) systems and finds there is additional mental pressure that comes from AI workflows. “I usually have several different windows open... constantly waiting...” he said. “It might take five seconds to do one task, 50 seconds to do another task, and five minutes to do another task.” (韦伯斯特帕斯咨询公司战略、运营与产品负责人Jack Downey每天都使用人工智能来构建自动化系统，并发现来自人工智能工作流程会带来额外的精神压力。“我通常会同时打开好几个不同的窗口……不停地等待……”他说，“完成一个任务可能需要五秒钟，做另一个任务可能需要五十秒，而再做另一个任务可能需要五分钟。”)”可知，Downey面临的问题是来自人工智能辅助的多任务处理带来的压力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Bedard is clear that the solution is not abandoning AI, but rethinking how human workers best interact with these tools as AI develops fast. (Bedard明确表示，解决方案不是放弃人工智能，而是在人工智能快速发展的过程中，重新思考人类工作者如何以最佳方式与这些工具互动。)”可知，Bedard建议企业平衡人类员工与人工智能的关系。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“A new study suggests that instead of making work easier, AI may be giving some workers what researchers are calling “brain fry.” (一项新的研究表明，人工智能非但没有让工作变得更轻松，反而可能让一些工人出现了研究人员所说的“脑疲劳”。)”和最后一段中“Workers experiencing AI brain fry reported more mistakes, slower decision-making, and higher fatigue. Bedard is clear that the solution is not abandoning AI, but rethinking how human workers best interact with these tools as AI develops fast. (经历人工智能大脑疲劳的工人报告称，他们出现了更多的错误、更慢的决策速度以及更高的疲劳感。Bedard明确表示，解决方案不是放弃人工智能，而是在人工智能快速发展的过程中，重新思考人类工作者如何以最佳方式与这些工具互动。)”可知，文章开篇指出人工智能可能带来“脑疲劳”，第二、三段通过研究说明人工智能导致决策疲劳和精神疲惫，第四段举例说明多任务压力，最后提出需要调整人与人工智能的关系。全文围绕“人工智能可能导致人类员工精神倦怠”这一核心观点展开。C选项“人工智能可能导致人类员工精神倦怠”符合文章主旨，为文章的最佳标题。 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。 Starting college studies can feel challenging. ____16____. Here are core study strategies from experts to make your learning more effective. ● Prioritize steady learning over leaving everything to the final days. Putting off schoolwork is a common problem for new college students, who often struggle to adjust to heavier workloads. ____17____, rather than helping students gain real mastery of the material. Instead of leaving all work for exams, build a regular study schedule and stick to it. ● ____18____. You don’t have to struggle with tough material alone. College offers plenty of help, from professors to campus resource centers, and it’s important to ask for assistance early before falling behind. Connect with classmates to form study groups, too. Explaining content to each other, quizzing one another and building a support network make learning far more manageable. ● Take intentional breaks for better memory. Your brain can only absorb a limited amount of information at a time. Research shows wakeful rest between study sessions is as important as practice itself, as it allows your brain to consolidate and store new memories. Make sure to add enough breaks, relaxation and sleep to your study routine. ____19____. ● Review actively and set clear goals. Simply reviewing notes isn’t enough — active practice like self-quizzing with flashcards creates “desirable difficulties” that boost long-term learning, just as weightlifting strengthens muscles. ____20____: define actionable plans, measurable benchmarks, and time-bound tasks that fit your academic calendar. This way, you can track progress and stay motivated throughout your learning journey. A. But even the best study plans require flexibility B. Seek academic support and study with fellow students C. Also, set specific, realistic study goals using a proper method D. Make detailed plans for campus activities and after-class hobbies E. This refreshes your mind and helps it accept new information more easily F. Research suggests this practice only improves short-term test performance G.

That morning, my father presented me with a shiny new bicycle. Bursting with excitement, I rode it to school early in the morning. The world was bathed in golden sunlight, and the birds were celebrating a new day in the trees. But my joy was short-lived. When I turned around a corner, I heard a loud, sharp sound behind me. My heart beat fast after I realized that I had run into a car parked by the roadside and left a long, ugly scratch (划痕)on its door. I slowed down and jumped off my bike to have a closer look. I froze there and imagined what my dad would do. I looked around nervously and found the street completely empty. No one had seen the accident. A tempting idea flashed through my mind. “Why not just run away?” I argued with myself. “No one would ever know.” For a brief moment, I yielded (屈服)to the impulse. I jumped onto my bike and rode as fast as I could. However, the farther I went, the heavier my heart would feel. Overcome by guilt, I made the difficult decision to return to the scene. I found a notebook in my backpack and wrote a note. I put down my name, address, and apologized sincerely for what had happened. I carefully placed the note under the car’s windshield wiper (挡风玻璃刮水器). The school day that followed seemed painfully long. When the bell eventually rang, I walked my bike home very slowly, dreading the upcoming storm. As I got close to my home, I saw my dad waiting for me at the door. 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。 To my astonishment, my dad was not angry at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day, I learned one of the most important lessons in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To my astonishment, my dad was not angry at all. “The car owner has been here,” he said with a pride I hadn’t anticipated. “He said he had witnessed the entire incident and that he was particularly impressed by your decision to face the consequences. He asked me to tell you that the scratch on his car had been covered by insurance. He came here just to tell me how much he appreciated your honesty and courage.” That day, I learned one of the most important lessons in my life. It was far more valuable than the birthday gift itself. For the first time, I realized that being a good person wasn’t about never making mistakes; it’s about having the courage to face them.

Here are four great picks tailored for beginners — easy to follow, budget-friendly, and focused on building basic skills. Evolve Artist Academy Evolve Artist Academy stands out for its structured 8-block lessons, free art supplies, and one-on-one advice from instructors. Its biggest advantages are a clear learning path and expert guidance, which help beginners stay on track. The only catch? It needs regular practice — about 2-3 hours per week — to see progress. Mark Carder’s Draw Mix Paint For students on a budget, Mark Carder’s Draw Mix Paint is a winner. It offers free online courses that cover simple color mixing and classical realism basics, making it perfect for self-driven learners.

His step-by-step lessons include landscapes and portraits, with high-definition (HD) videos that work for all skill levels. New content is added monthly, keeping learning fresh, but there’s no personalized feedback to help fix specific mistakes. New Masters Academy New Masters Academy uses an affordable subscription model, with HD videos that teach both painting fundamentals and anatomy (解剖学) — both helpful for drawing figures.

In a record-breaking first, German engineer Michaela Benthaus became the first wheelchair user to travel to outer space. Benthaus launched into outer space while on board the New Shepard NS-37, which was piloted by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’s space tourism company. Initially, Benthaus wondered if her paraplegia (截瘫) would prove too much of a challenge. “I always wanted to go to space, but I never really considered it something I could actually do,” Benthaus explained. Before her flight, Benthaus prepared to address her physical limitations in microgravity. She also rode alongside former SpaceX executive and friend, Hans Koenigsmann, who received training before the flight on how to assist Benthaus if needed. The journey, which took around ten minutes, rocketed Koenigsmann, Benthaus, and four other passengers above Earth’s surface. They traveled at more than three times the speed of sound. At the peak of the flight path, passengers experienced a brief period of weightlessness. Benthaus prepared a strap (带子) for her legs beforehand to keep her legs bound so she could leave her seat and look at the Earth from outside the window. “I did really love the view and the microgravity phase, and I also loved all the going up,” she shared. Benthaus began using a wheelchair after a 2018 mountain biking accident left her with spinal cord injuries. Her space journey was part of a campaign to raise money for the nonprofit Wings of Life that researches spinal cord injuries. Her injuries made her more aware of the challenges faced by people with disabilities. “After my accident, I really figured out how inaccessible our world still is,” she said. Still, her disability didn’t affect her ability to enjoy her flight into outer space. Benthaus’s flight points to a future in which access to space is slowly expanding, creating more inclusivity on Earth and beyond. 4. What can be known about Benthaus before her flight? A. She wasn’t expecting any challenge. B. She doubted her ability to make it. C. She didn’t consider it worth pursuing. D. She relied entirely on others to live. 5. How did Benthaus feel during the space journey? A. She regretted going on the mission. B. She preferred sightseeing to going up. C. She found it an enjoyable experience. D. She realized it was riskier than expected. 6. Why did Benthaus choose to travel into space? A. To receive better treatment. B. To contribute to charity work. C. To do research on her injuries. D. To fund people with disabilities. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The first space traveler in a wheelchair. B. A frightening flight into outer space. C. The ups and downs of a special traveler. D. An engineer recovering from an accident. C Microplastics are widely known for polluting oceans, rivers, and farmland. New research now shows these tiny plastic particles (颗粒) also arrive through the air and gradually build up in forest soils. Geoscientists at TU Darmstadt report this finding in a study published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment, highlighting a largely overlooked form of environmental pollution. “The microplastics from the atmosphere initially settle on the leaves of the tree crowns,” explains lead author Dr. Collin J. Weber. “Then the particles are transported to the forest soil by rain or the autumn leaf fall, for example.” To better understand how microplastics gather, the research team collected samples from four forest sites east of Darmstadt in Germany. They analyzed soil, fallen leaves, and atmospheric deposition — the transport of substances from the Earth’s atmosphere to the Earth’s surface — using a newly developed method combined with spectroscopic (光谱) techniques. In addition, the scientists created a model to estimate how much microplastic has entered forests from the atmosphere since the 1950s. This helped them assess how much of the total pollution stored in forest soils can be traced back to airborne sources. “Our results indicate that microplastics in forest soils originate primarily from atmospheric deposition and from leaves falling to the ground, known as litterfall. Other sources, on the other hand, have only a minor influence,” explains Weber. “We conclude that forests are good indicators of atmospheric microplastic pollution and that a high concentration of microplastics in forest soils indicates a high input of particles from the air into these ecosystems.” The findings provide an important foundation for evaluating the environmental risks of microplastics in both air and soil. “Forests are already threatened by climate change, and our findings suggest that microplastics could now pose an additional threat to forest ecosystems,” says Weber. The results may also have implications for human health, as they reveal how microplastics travel globally through the atmosphere and may be present in the air we breathe. 8. What did the researchers do for the study? A. They transported better soils to four forest sites. B. They mainly analyzed data from the 19th century. C. They created a model for improving global air quality. D. They combined field sampling with laboratory techniques. 9. What does Weber say about microplastics in forest soils in paragraph 4? A. They come from a single source. B. They can be reduced by litterfall. C. They have little impact on ecosystems. D. They might reflect air pollution levels. 10. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Significance of the study findings. B. Limitations of the research method. C. Possible direction for further research. D. Causes of unconvincing conclusions. 11. From which is the text most probably taken? A. A science report. B. A geography textbook. C. An environmental policy brief. D. An academic journal on agriculture. D The promise of artificial intelligence has been simple: let the machines help do the work. However, it may be creating a new headache from taking care of the machines. A new study suggests that instead of making work easier, AI may be giving some workers what researchers are calling “brain fry.” Researchers surveyed about 1,500 workers and found that people constantly bouncing between multiple AI tools reported more decision fatigue (疲劳) and more errors. About one in seven workers said they had experienced mental fatigue from using AI tools at work. “AI can run far ahead of us, but we’re still here with the same brain we had yesterday,” said Julie Bedard, managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group and an author of the study. She said the findings are an early warning sign that expectations around AI productivity may need recalibrating. “AI is good in some ways for work,” Bedard said. “However, intensive oversight of AI leads to mental burnout.” For people working deeply with AI tools, the concept of “brain fry” is nothing new. Jack Downey, Head of Strategy, Operations and Product at Webster Pass Consulting, uses AI daily to build automation (自动化) systems and finds there is additional mental pressure that comes from AI workflows. “I usually have several different windows open... constantly waiting...” he said. “It might take five seconds to do one task, 50 seconds to do another task, and five minutes to do another task.” “For years, many predictions about AI suggested the technology would allow fewer workers to do more work faster. But if AI is already pushing workers toward mental overload, organizations may need to rethink those assumptions,” Bedard said. If businesses don’t figure that out, their bottom lines may suffer. Workers experiencing AI brain fry reported more mistakes, slower decision-making, and higher fatigue. Bedard is clear that the solution is not abandoning AI, but rethinking how human workers best interact with these tools as AI develops fast. 12. What does the underlined word “recalibrating” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recalling. B. Readjusting. C. Repeating. D. Recognizing. 13. What is a problem for Downey? A. Inability to use AI as an assistant. B. Little knowledge of updating AI tools. C. Unfamiliarity with automation systems. D. Stress from AI-assisted multi-tasking. 14. What does Bedard suggest businesses do? A. assign AI tools to make more decisions. B. Give up the use of interactive AI tools. C. Balance the human worker-AI relationship. D. Replace more human workers with AI tools. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Essential Role AI Plays in the Workplace. B. The Challenges of Employing Various AI Tools. C. AI Can Cause Human Workers’ Mental Burnout. D. AI Productivity Motivates Humans to Work Harder. 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。 Starting college studies can feel challenging. ____16____.

Instead of leaving all work for exams, build a regular study schedule and stick to it. ● ____18____. You don’t have to struggle with tough material alone.

This way, you can track progress and stay motivated throughout your learning journey. A. But even the best study plans require flexibility B. Seek academic support and study with fellow students C.

That morning, my father presented me with a shiny new bicycle. Bursting with excitement, I rode it to school early in the morning. The world was bathed in golden sunlight, and the birds were celebrating a new day in the trees. But my joy was short-lived. When I turned around a corner, I heard a loud, sharp sound behind me. My heart beat fast after I realized that I had run into a car parked by the roadside and left a long, ugly scratch (划痕)on its door. I slowed down and jumped off my bike to have a closer look. I froze there and imagined what my dad would do. I looked around nervously and found the street completely empty. No one had seen the accident. A tempting idea flashed through my mind. “Why not just run away?” I argued with myself. “No one would ever know.” For a brief moment, I yielded (屈服)to the impulse. I jumped onto my bike and rode as fast as I could. However, the farther I went, the heavier my heart would feel. Overcome by guilt, I made the difficult decision to return to the scene. I found a notebook in my backpack and wrote a note. I put down my name, address, and apologized sincerely for what had happened. I carefully placed the note under the car’s windshield wiper (挡风玻璃刮水器). The school day that followed seemed painfully long. When the bell eventually rang, I walked my bike home very slowly, dreading the upcoming storm. As I got close to my home, I saw my dad waiting for me at the door. 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。 To my astonishment, my dad was not angry at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day, I learned one of the most important lessons in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
