Through these experiences, teens can develop leadership, communication, and job readiness skills.(例如青少年阅读大使陪伴低龄儿童、培养阅读兴趣，制作儿童读物，借此锻炼领导力、沟通与职场能力。)”可知，青少年阅读大使项目最适合想要帮助年幼孩子并培养领导技能的青少年。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“The New York Public Library has many programs and spaces designed especially for teens.(纽约公共图书馆设有许多专为青少年打造的活动项目与活动空间。)”可知，文章目的是介绍图书馆面向青少年的各类项目和资源。 4．D 5．B 6．A 7．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在观鸟过程中获得内心平静并与自然建立更深联系的故事。 【详解】4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“This new activity has turned out to be more calming than meditation. (这项新活动结果比冥想更能让人平静)”以及“My senses focus just on the present, and the usual noise in my head becomes quiet. (我的感官只专注于当下，脑海中通常的噪音变得安静)”可知，观鸟帮助作者找到了内心的平静。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I’ve identified 452 species, including 307 this year alone. (我已经识别了452种鸟类，仅今年就识别了307种)”以及第四段中“But in the past six months, I’ve seen rare golden eagles and been amazed by diving Pacific loons, all within an hour of my house. (但在过去的六个月里，我在我家附近一小时车程内，看到了罕见的金雕，也为潜水的太平洋潜鸟惊叹不已)”可知，作者认为自己的观鸟成就是令人惊叹的。 6．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare bird. It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is the more rewarding. (我不需要知道社交媒体上的主角是谁以及大家都在说什么，而我反而可以花一个小时去寻找一种稀有的鸟。我很清楚这两项活动中哪一项更有价值)”可知，与社交媒体相比，作者更愿意把时间花在观鸟上，说明作者对社交媒体持不赞成的态度。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Since then, I have become addicted to bird watching. I’ve identified 452 species, including 307 this year alone. (从那时起，我就迷上了观鸟。我已经识别了452种鸟类，仅今年就识别了307种)”、第二段“This new activity has turned out to be more calming than meditation (禅修). (这项新活动结果比冥想更能让人平静)”和最后一段“It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is the more rewarding. (我很清楚这两项活动中哪一项更有价值)”可知，文章讲述了作者从开始观鸟到爱上观鸟，并从中获得平静和与自然联系的过程，强调观鸟是一个有益的新爱好。故C项“My New Rewarding Hobby (我有益的新爱好)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 8．D 9．A 10．B 11．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了元宵节的庆祝形式。 【详解】8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect for gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the declining darkness of winter.(灯笼是节庆中非常重要的一部分。有一种说法认为，明亮的灯笼是对神灵的敬意；另一种说法则认为，人们点亮灯笼是为了庆祝冬季逐渐消逝的黑暗)”可知，人们用花灯来庆祝元宵节这一传统节日的目的是为了表达对神灵的敬意，并庆祝冬日黑暗的结束。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people bless family members and make wishes.(当明亮的灯光在天空中高高飞起时，人们为家人祈福并许下心愿)”可知，人们放灯时会许愿。 10．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Anxiously, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the(众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在……)”可知，这句话是诗歌：众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。故猜测declining light指渐渐暗淡的灯火，表示“变暗、褪去”，与fading同义。 11．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Lanterns are a big part of the festival. (灯笼是节庆中非常重要的一部分)”，第三段“ In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns.(在一些地方，人们喜欢放天灯，它们被称作孔明灯)”以及最后一段“In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. (在过去，元宵节也是浪漫的)”可知，文章主要介绍了元宵节的庆祝形式。C选项“元宵节的庆祝活动”为最佳标题。 12．B 13．D 14．C 15．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了随着数码拍摄设备普及，拍摄短片成为青少年新爱好，以高中生刘宇获奖短片为例，阐述学生自制短片的价值，同时引用影评人观点指出影片核心在于内容与真情而非高端设备。 【详解】12．细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead of focusing on fancy scenes or special effects, his film records the daily life of elderly craftsmen who stick to traditional handmade skills.(没有侧重华丽场面或是特效，他的影片记录坚守传统手工技艺的老年匠人的日常生活。)”可知，刘宇的获奖短片聚焦传统手艺人的生活。 13．细节理解题。根据第三段“It teaches me to observe life carefully and tell stories with screens.(它教会我仔细观察生活，用画面讲述故事。)”以及“He also added that creating a film taught him teamwork and time management, as he discussed plot designs and scene arrangements with his classmates.(他还补充，制作影片教会他团队合作与时间管理，他和同学一同商讨情节设计与场景布置。)”可知，制作短片让他学会观察生活、懂得协作。 14．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the critic also reminded young creators that a good film relies on a meaningful story rather than fancy equipment. Technology serves the content, and sincere emotion and positive themes are always the soul of a wonderful film.(但是，这位影评人也提醒青年创作者：好影片依靠有意义的故事而非华丽设备。技术为内容服务，真挚的情感与积极的主题永远是优秀影片的灵魂。)”可知，影评人认同真情实感与有意义的内容在影片中最重要。 15．推理判断题。根据第三段“Lights and cameras are simple tools, but they help us discover the beauty around us and spread positive values.(灯光和相机只是简单工具，但它们帮助我们发现身边的美、传播正向价值观。)”以及第四段“Their works may lack perfect technology, but they are full of sincerity and creativity.(他们的作品或许技术不够完善，却饱含真诚与创意。)”、“These practical abilities greatly enrich students’ after-school life and broaden their horizons.(这些实用能力极大丰富了学生的课余生活、拓宽眼界。)”可知，文章以学生拍摄短片事例展开，全程围绕学生自制短片的多重价值展开论述，目的是解释学生自制短片具备价值的原因。 16．G 17．B 18．C 19．F 20．E 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者从小对花园的热爱，回忆了与母亲在花园中的美好时光，并将园艺与人生和创作相联系。 【详解】16．上文“At age four, I found a garden behind the kitchen. My eyes became glued to the patterns of roses across my childhood landscape. I saw them and felt a sense of joy and adventure.(四岁时，我在厨房后面发现了一座花园。我的目光紧紧跟随着童年风景中玫瑰花的图案。看着它们，我感到一种喜悦和冒险的感觉)”描述了作者第一次看到花园时的感受，G选项“My passion and connection to gardens started at that exact moment.(我对花园的热爱和联系从那一刻开始了)”承接上文，点明那一刻开启了作者与花园之间的情感纽带；下文回忆了作者在花园中的成长经历和母亲的教诲，与G选项中的“passion and connection to gardens”相呼应，上下文逻辑连贯。 17．上文“Excited, I bounced to my feet and flipped three more cartwheels (侧手翻) before landing by her side.(兴奋地，我跳起来，又翻了三个侧手翻，然后落在她身边)”描述了作者兴奋地来到母亲身边，B选项“Mother was in the garden busy breaking up the soil.(母亲正在花园里忙着翻土)”承接上文，点明母亲当时正在花园中劳作；下文“And I sat beside her, playing with mud pies in the flower bed.(我坐在她旁边，在花坛里玩泥巴)”进一步描述了作者在母亲身边玩耍的场景，与B选项中的“in the garden”相呼应，上下文语意连贯。 18．下文“She fed love to a generation of people with purple peas and greens.(她用紫豌豆和绿色蔬菜滋养了一代人)”描述了母亲通过种植蔬菜来传递爱；C选项“My mother cooked with the colors and textures of her gardens.(我的母亲用她花园里的色彩和材质来烹饪)”点明母亲将花园的收成用于烹饪，通过食物传递爱，其中“cooked”与下文中“She fed love...”形成逻辑关联——母亲不仅烹饪，更通过食物表达爱，上下文语意连贯。 19．上文“This process of creation begins in the spring, when you break up the soil and start anew.(这个创造的过程始于春天，那时你翻松土壤，重新开始)”描述了园艺的第一步——春天翻土，F选项“Then it’s time to clear out the dead leaves, and roots of the winter.(然后是时候清理冬天的枯叶和树根了)”承接上文，按照园艺的时间顺序引出下一步——清理冬季残留物；下文“The gardener must then make sure that the proper nutrients are correctly mixed in the soil.(然后，园丁必须确保适量的养分被正确地混合在土壤中)”进一步描述了混合营养的步骤，与F选项共同构成园艺的连续步骤，上下文逻辑连贯。 20．上文“When our gardens are balanced with care, we can harvest the beauty of living a life of grace.(当我们的花园被悉心照料得平衡时，我们就能收获优雅生活的美丽)”将花园与人生相联系，E选项“Gardens are a mirror that reflects and influences our daily lives.(花园是一面镜子，反映并影响着我们的日常生活)”承接上文，总结花园与人生的关系——花园映射生活并反作用于生活；下文“So cultivate your garden for giving and plant those seeds for the future.(所以为了给予而耕耘你的花园，为未来播下那些种子)”进一步呼应了“花园与人生”的隐喻，上下文语意连贯。 21．B 22．C 23．A 24．B 25．D 26．B 27．B 28．D 29．B 30．A 31．A 32．D 33．A 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文描述了年过八旬身患重病的老人不愿消沉，坚持练扔球、击球锻炼。秉持积极心态，九十岁的他能击打时速90英里的球。疾病无法打倒他，他领悟真正的力量源于坚持尝试的强大意志。 【详解】21．考查动词。句意：这两种病不断削弱我的身体，但我知道必须保持身心活跃。A. healing治愈；B. weakening使虚弱；C. hurting伤害；D. disappointing使失望。根据前文“In my eighties, I suffered from two serious illnesses”以及后文“If I did nothing but 　　　　　 , I would become weaker”可知，此处指重病让作者身体日渐虚弱。 22．考查动词短语。句意：如果我只是闲坐着无所事事，身体会变得更差。A. slow down减速；B. hold on坚持；C. sit around闲坐、无所事事；D. stay away远离。根据后文“I went outside and tried to throw a ball over my fence”描述作者出门练扔球锻炼可知，与之对比的是整日坐着不动，sit around符合语境。 23．考查动词。句意：一开始我总是失败。A. failed失败；B. missed错过；C. dropped掉落；D. fell摔倒。根据后文“But I kept trying, and day by day, the ball flew a little farther”可知，此处指起初无法把球扔过围栏，尝试都失败了。 24．考查动词。句意：我长久以来都认为年龄与健康状况会限制我。A. defeat击败；B. limit限制；C. define定义；D. protect保护。根据前文“In my eighties, I suffered from two serious illnesses”以及后文“I never thought I could throw the ball over the fence”可知，此处指作者从前觉得病痛和年纪会束缚自己、做不到这件事。 25．考查形容词。句意：经过数月练习，我成功将球扔过围栏，感到前所未有的精神焕发。A. relieved宽慰的；B. tired疲惫的；C. determined坚定的；D. refreshed精神振作的。根据前文“After months of practice”以及语境可知，坚持练习终于达成目标，成功后身心舒畅、焕然一新，refreshed符合语境。 26．考查名词。句意：这故事蕴含的寓意很简单：“我相信我能做到！”A. title标题；B. moral寓意、道理；C. ending结局；D. plot情节。根据后文“I THINK I CAN!”可知，这是故事传递的核心人生道理。 27．考查形容词。句意：我相信积极思考的力量能给予我额外的力量。A. hopeful充满希望的；B. positive积极的；C. active行动积极的；D. confident自信的。根据后文“Positive thinking can’t 　　　　　 my illnesses, but it keeps my eyes on the ball and my hands steady”可知，此处原词复现positive，指积极思考的力量。 28．考查副词。句意：我一开始击打时速40英里的球，慢慢就能击打70、80英里，最后达到90英里。A. suddenly突然；B. proudly骄傲地；C. secretly秘密地；D. gradually逐渐地。根据后文“ hit 70, 80, and finally 90 mph”以及语境可知，速度提升是循序渐进的过程。 29．考查名词。句意：如今我九十岁了，我把每日的练习称作“九十岁挑战九十英里时速——年届九旬，仍能击出时速90英里的球”。A. record记录；B. practice练习；C. progress进步；D. experience经历。根据前文“I kept doing this for five years”以及语境可知，此处指常年坚持击球训练。 30．考查动词。句意：积极的想法无法治愈我的疾病，却能让我专注目标、手部保持稳定。A. cure治愈；B. cause造成；C. spread传播；D. find找到。根据后文转折“but it keeps my eyes on the ball and my hands steady”可知，作者强调了积极的想法虽然不能治愈疾病，但能让作者变得更好。 31．考查动词。句意：或许有一天病痛会打败我，但我会一直坚持努力。A. beat打败、战胜；B. hurt伤害；C. affect影响；D. discourage使气馁。根据前文“I see my diseases as daily opponents”可知，把疾病当作对手，对手可能会打败自己。 32．考查动词短语。句意：我的积极态度永远不会消失。A. turn up出现；B. give in屈服；C. run out耗尽；D. fade away逐渐消退。根据前文“but I will keep swinging”可知，全文作者始终保持乐观，此处指这份积极心态不会消退。 33．考查动词。句意：我的大儿子是老年病医生，他说医学界仍无法完全解释乐观心态如何有益于健康，但它确实有效。A. explain解释；B. check检查；C. prove证明；D. accept接受。根据后文“but it really does”可知，虽然无法完全解释积极心态对健康的作用，但它确实有效。 34．考查名词。句意：疾病或许会拖慢我的步伐，但永远无法阻止我前行。A.

Without it, neither our studies nor our daily lives can truly flourish. So how do we protect our health? To begin with, it’s good to eat a balanced diet — have meals on time and drink enough water each day. Also, we’d better take regular exercise, even something as simple as a 20-minute walk after dinner. Most importantly, don’t forget our mental well-being. We can relax by listening to music, chatting with friends, or keeping a diary. It’s no good staying up late or spending too much time on the phone. Let’s start today. Small, consistent efforts add up to a healthier future. Possible version 2: Care for Ourselves, Care for Our Health As the saying goes, health is wealth. Without a sound body and a peaceful mind, neither academic success nor everyday joy is truly attainable. How, then, can we safeguard our health? First, we’d better adopt a wholesome diet — eat more fresh produce, cut back on junk food, and stay away from sugary drinks. Second, we’re supposed to get moving daily, whether it’s running, swimming, or playing ball games, for at least 30 minutes. Third, never underestimate the power of rest, for eight hours of sleep each night is a must for teenagers. Finally, tend to your mental health by managing stress, sharing feelings, and staying connected with others. Now is the time to act. Even small daily changes can work wonders. After all, our health shapes our future. 【导语】题目要求学生写一篇短文参加校英文报举办的征文比赛，需首先指出健康的重要性，再具体介绍保持健康的方法，最后呼吁大家重视健康。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 放松：relax→unwind 足够的：enough→adequate 与……交谈：chat with→ converse with, talk with 持续的：consistent→constant, persistent 2. 句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：Let’s start today.

I approached and said hello. She looked up, and for a moment she just stared. Then her face broke into that same warm smile I remembered from years ago. “I got your letter,” she said. “I’m not much for writing back, but I read it more than once.” I nodded. I understood. She had never been one for words — just quiet actions. She led me to my old place, telling me stories about the newcomers — kids just like I had been. Hearing that, I had a new idea. I turned to Mrs. Chen and said, “What if I started a free writing workshop here — in my old place?” Her eyes lit up. “You’d do that?” she asked. “You gave me a place to become myself,” I said. “Now I want to give the newcomers the same.” She smiled, reached into her pocket and then pulled out a folded piece of paper. It was a flyer she had drawn up weeks ago, advertising Free Writing Workshop for Kids at the library. “I’ve been waiting for the right person to help me with this,” she said softly. We both laughed. “We had the same plan,” I said. 【导语】本文以人物经历为线索。通过讲述作者中学时期家庭生活糟糕，常年在图书馆落脚，管理员陈女士以默默的善意守护他、鼓励他坚持写作，多年后作者成为作家返乡，二人不约而同计划在图书馆开设免费儿童写作工坊的温暖故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段主要写“我”在活动结束后回到图书馆拜访陈女士，两人重逢并回忆起往事，陈女士向“我”讲述了图书馆里新来的孩子们的故事，这让“我”萌生了一个新想法。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写“我”向陈女士提议在老位置开办免费写作坊，两人一拍即合，陈女士拿出了早已准备好的海报，点明两人的默契，升华了爱与传承的主题。 续写线索： 拜访陈女士 → 温暖重逢 → 讲述新来的孩子 → 萌生新想法 → 提议开办写作坊 → 拿出准备好的海报 →升华主题（爱心与传承） 词类激活： 行为类： 接近：approach/draw near/come near 掏出：pull out/pluck out/take out 情绪类： 温暖：warm/heartwarming 激动/眼睛发亮：light up/sparkle with excitement 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Hearing that, I had a new idea.

B Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, California, walked to the end of a quiet path by the sea and started looking at birds. Since then, I have become addicted to bird watching. I’ve identified 452 species, including 307 this year alone. This new activity has turned out to be more calming than meditation (禅修). While birding, I seem to forget heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus just on the present, and the usual noise in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time, I’m very happy while feeling extremely peaceful. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world. The passing of the seasons seems to be more noticeable, marked by the arrival and departure (离开) of particular species instead of much slower changes in day length, temperature and greenery. I find myself noticing small changes in the weather and small differences in habitat. I think about the tides. When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. I had accepted the idea of nature as distant and remote. But in the past six months, I’ve seen rare golden eagles and been amazed by diving Pacific loons, all within an hour of my house. It’s easy to think of birding as an escape from reality. Instead, I see it as immersion (沉浸) in the true reality. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare bird. It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is the more rewarding. 4．Bird watching has helped the author ________. A．escape reality B．protect wildlife C．make new friends D．find mental peace 5．What does the author think of his birding achievements? A．Disappointing. B．Amazing. C．Uninteresting. D．Embarrassing. 6．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to social media? A．Unfavorable. B．Appreciative. C．Objective. D．Unclear. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Better Method to Meditate B．My Visit to a Protected Wetland C．My New Rewarding Hobby D．A Way to Connect to Nature C Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. This year it is on Feb. 22, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations. Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect for gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the declining darkness of winter. Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people paste (粘贴) riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. “Ten plus ten, still is ten, ten minus ten, again is ten.” Guess what? It is a pair of gloves. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom, where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people bless family members and make wishes. Releasing river lights is also a way to bless for each other. Usually, the lights are in the shape of a lotus.

Unlike traditional professional movies that require huge teams and costly devices, modern filming allows ordinary students to record stories with simple cameras, proper lighting and basic editing skills. Liu Yu, a high school student, recently won a city youth film award with his self-created short film. Instead of focusing on fancy scenes or special effects, his film records the daily life of elderly craftsmen who stick to traditional handmade skills. He shot all the materials with a smartphone, adjusted soft lighting to create a warm atmosphere, and edited the videos patiently in his spare time. It took him nearly three months to finish the whole work. “Many teenagers love watching movies, but few try to create their own works,” Liu Yu said in an interview. “Filming is not just about taking beautiful pictures. It teaches me to observe life carefully and tell stories with screens. Lights and cameras are simple tools, but they help us discover the beauty around us and spread positive values.” He also added that creating a film taught him teamwork and time management, as he discussed plot designs and scene arrangements with his classmates. A professional film critic spoke highly of student-made short films. He believes that teenage creators have unique and fresh views of the world. Their works may lack perfect technology, but they are full of sincerity and creativity. Nowadays, more schools are providing basic filming courses, teaching students shooting skills, lighting settings and video editing. These practical abilities greatly enrich students’ after-school life and broaden their horizons. However, the critic also reminded young creators that a good film relies on a meaningful story rather than fancy equipment. Technology serves the content, and sincere emotion and positive themes are always the soul of a wonderful film. 12．What do we know about Liu Yu’s award-winning short film? A．It was completed with professional devices. B．It focuses on the life of traditional craftsmen. C．It is famous for amazing special effects. D．It took only several weeks to finish. 13．According to Liu Yu, what is the value of making short films? A．It helps him get more awards. B．It makes him popular among classmates. C．It allows him to master professional editing skills. D．It enables him to learn life observation and cooperation. 14．Which statement does the film critic agree with? A．Student films are worthless without perfect technology. B．Fancy equipment is the key to a successful film. C．True feelings and meaningful content matter most in films. D．Schools should offer more competition chances for students. 15．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To show how teenagers win film competitions. B．To explain why student-made short films are valuable. C．To introduce basic skills of shooting short films. D．To compare student films and professional movies. 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。 At age four, I found a garden behind the kitchen. My eyes became glued to the patterns of roses across my childhood landscape. I saw them and felt a sense of joy and adventure. 16 When spring arrived, I ran so fast through the house, speeding ahead of my mother’s voice. I dashed out of the front door and threw myself on a fresh carpet of grass. Excited, I bounced to my feet and flipped three more cartwheels (侧手翻) before landing by her side. 17 And I sat beside her, playing with mud pies in the flower bed. When her work was done, she rewarded me with an ice-cold glass of bittersweet lemonade. 18 She fed love to a generation of people with purple peas and greens. In our last conversation before her death, she encouraged me to go anywhere in the world that would make me happy. Since then, I have planted her gardens through art installations throughout the world, in countries of the people that I meet. Now they are lining parks and courtyards, and even in run-down streets. Gardening has taught me that planting and growing a garden is the same process as creating our lives. This process of creation begins in the spring, when you break up the soil and start anew. 19 The gardener must then make sure that the proper nutrients are correctly mixed in the soil. Then it’s important to aerate (使透气) the topsoil and leave it loosely packed on the surface. When our gardens are balanced with care, we can harvest the beauty of living a life of grace. 20 So cultivate your garden for giving and plant those seeds for the future. The garden is the world living deep inside of you. A．My dream was completely transformed. B．Mother was in the garden busy breaking up the soil. C．My mother cooked with the colors and textures of her gardens. D．The workman was busy when the garden caught my attention. E．Gardens are a mirror that reflects and influences our daily lives. F．Then it’s time to clear out the dead leaves, and roots of the winter. G．My passion and connection to gardens started at that exact moment. 第二部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In my eighties, I suffered from two serious illnesses.

Henry, landing in Britain accidentally, was chosen as their “experiment subject”. He received the note but was forbidden to open the accompanying letter explaining its purpose. In Act 1, Scene 3, Henry’s despair contrasts with the brothers’ amusement. His honesty about having no money 40 (delight) them, and the letter’s secrecy means society’s blind faith 41 wealth. Act 2, Scene 1 brilliantly illustrates the irony. When Henry visits a tailor shop, the clerks ignore him because his coat is 42 (wear). But when he shows the million-pound note, their attitudes change 43 (complete). This scene makes fun of how people judge others by their wealth instead of their character.

I spent as much time as possible anywhere but home. I basically lived at the public library. The librarian, Mrs. Chen, noticed. She never asked personal questions. Never made me feel like a problem. She just made sure I always had a quiet place to sit and that I had books to read. Sometimes she’d leave snacks on the table where I was sitting. One afternoon, I was writing in my notebook when Mrs. Chen walked over. “Do you like writing?” she asked. I nodded, closing the cover. Instead of asking to see it, she simply smiled. “You seem to enjoy it,” she said softly. “Keep at it.” After that, she would occasionally leave a blank (空白的) notebook on my table with a simple note: “For your stories.” Other times, she’d recommend books she thought I might enjoy. She always quietly let me know she noticed. Years later, I left my hometown for college and eventually became a writer. Through all those years, I never forgot Mrs. Chen. One afternoon, I sat down and wrote her a letter, telling her everything — how her quiet faith saved me; how I became a writer because of her. I mailed it, unsure if she’d even remember me. Weeks passed. I didn’t expect a reply, but I found myself hoping. Then one day, an invitation arrived: my first book event, back in my hometown. 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。 That day, after the event, I went to the library to visit Mrs. Chen. I turned to Mrs. Chen and said, “What if I started a free writing workshop here — in my old place?” 英语试题卷　第 1 页（共 4 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
