My mother, a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, worked at night so that she could come home in time to send me to school. She'd sleep during the day and be ready when we returned home before heading out again in the evening. This went on for 23 years. She never complained (抱怨). No matter how tired she was, she always had enough energy to be my mom.
She often had to work on Christmas, Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, and sometimes Thanksgiving, which made me upset. However, before holidays she always decorated the inside and outside of our house. She'd also have cookies baking in the oven, a holiday-themed movie in the VCR, and music playing throughout our house for us. But when it was time to go to work, there was no room for debate. “Why do you have to work on this day of all days?" I'd ask sadly. "They need me, too, dear son," she'd respond, compassion (同情) in her tone.
For a long time I didn't understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in hospitals. The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother. The nurses checked heart, blood and oxygen levels, made sure patients were comfortable. They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom. Beyond their duties, the nurses displayed consideration for each patient.
What I saw helped me to understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation. I was filled with more admiration for my mother.
4. Why did the author's mother work in the evening?
A. To take him to school. B. To enjoy a movie.
C. To decorate their house. D. To sleep during the day.
5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. The mother loved her patients more than her kids.
B. Nurses are paid double salary working on holidays.
C. The author wished his mother could stay home on holidays.
D. Only people with mercy on patients will make good nurses.
6. The author really understood his mother's work when___________.
A. he asked his mother to stay with him during holidays
B. he looked after his sick grandma in hospital
C. he saw how tired his mother was after work
D. he helped patients to the bathroom
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Children of nurses are often dissatisfied with their mothers.
B. Nurses are particularly busy at work during holidays.
C. The author gained a new appreciation of his mother.
D. The author's mother liked doing housework.
C
You will probably spot people showing their shiny lives online: sunsets during vacations, perfectly delicate meals, and broad smiles in photos. People prepare those carefully to make themselves look successful or happy. But few notice a quiet change: the “you” online is more and more different from the “you” in real life. Psychologists say this rift of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others. It makes the line between “show” and “real life” unclear, and soon we may not know which “you” is real.
As you age, the pressure to “perform” online gets stronger. Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be a “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers. Randy, 17, from London, calls this “switching masks”. “I have three Instagram accounts — one for family, one for school, and one for random chatter,” she says. Recent studies prove this constant switching makes teens 40% more anxious since it’s definitely hard for them to have one steady identity.
Worse still, this “show” doesn’t stop when you switch off the app. If you spend years acting like a “happy person” online, you start comparing your real life to that. Maria, a housewife in Toronto, deleted her Facebook account. Her posts about “happy motherhood” made her feel guilty because in real life, she was as busy as a bee for attending to her kids. “I’d look at my own photos and feel confused about the delighted face,” she says. Psychologists call this “digital division”: your brain starts seeing the online “you” as the “perfect you”, and thinks your real feelings are failures.
The answer isn’t to quit social media. Instead, we should use it as a mirror, not a stage. We live in a world where we always need to “be on”, but the most human thing is to say when we’ re tired or not okay. The division between online and real life isn’t something we have to accept — it’s an option.
8. What does the underlined word “rift” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Recognition. B. Exposure. C. Distinction. D. Consistency.
9. Why does the author mention Randy?
A. To indicate a tendency among teens. B. To demonstrate her struggle on social media.
C. To show the Internet’s negative effect on teens. D. To display her ways of balancing her life.
10. Why did Maria cancel her Facebook account?
A. She wanted to protect her privacy. B. Her life got disturbed by ill comments.
C. Her online posts mismatched her real life. D. She had little time to record her daily life.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Show off Yourself, Say Hi to Website. B. Real You Affect Your Online Image.
C. Online Posts Mirror True Selves. D. Masks Online, Selves Offline.
D
The health benefits of sleep are both varied and well known. We all need to have enough sleep so as to be able to function well on both mental and physical tasks. Sleep is probably the best beauty treatment available to a person, allowing you to look younger overnight. This is probably the most superficial (表面的) benefit of sleep. The other benefits are incredibly important.
The amount of sleep that is required varies from one person to another and in many cases one person is at risk of not getting enough sleep. It is all too easy to settle into a habit that doesn’t really suit you when your family requires less sleep than you. They may well try to get up quietly and leave you resting a little longer. If they are successful in slipping (溜) out of the room and you remain in the same state of sleep then you are very lucky. Many people find themselves being disturbed by either sound or movement and then it can be difficult to return to sleep.
The fact is that whatever your reasons are for settling for less sleep than what is ideal for you, it is important to deal with your situation. Sleep is very important. Failing to get enough sleep is very costly to your health.
Many people have trouble getting to sleep. Their minds run on overtime or they become overtired. Perhaps you have simply gotten out of the habit of sleeping well. If this is the case then meditation (冥想) or hypnosis(催眠状态) can be very helpful.
Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation and is in fact the state between being awake and asleep. When learning to use hypnosis you can also teach yourself how to relax, let go of bad thoughts and prepare yourself naturally for sleep. It is natural and easy. Simply by listening to hypnotic songs you can train your mind to expect to sleep and return to your natural sleep patterns.
12. What will happen if you have enough high quality sleep?
A. You can never fail to perform your tasks. B. You can become more beautiful than others.
C. You can be joyful and full of energy. D. You can deal with others in an easy way.
13. What does the second paragraph imply?
A. You’d better not live with your family. B. A poor sleeping habit forms easily.
C. You should get used to various noises. D. It will make you annoyed when your sleep gets disturbed.
14. Why do some people have difficulty falling asleep?
A. They don’t intend to sleep well. B. They know nothing about hypnosis.
C. They are exhausted. D. They tend to work hard at night.
15. In which column of a newspaper can you read the text?
A. Finance. B. Society. C. Politics. D. Health.

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。
It was 1975. I left school at 16 to work at the Tibooburra Pub, which had special significance for my family. The pub had first been run by my great-grandfather, Walter, back in 1913 and then he sold it. In the late 1940s, my grandfather bought it back. Having spent so much time there as a kid, 1 thought it was a great place to work in. Grandfather’s cheerful smile and comforting voice made those years precious to me. Unfortunately, grandfather died from a heart attack and the pub was eventually sold to a family, which meant I had to find work elsewhere.
I then got a job at the local hospital and enjoyed it, though nothing felt the same as working for one’s own family. Aged 20, I connected with a man named Craig. Later we got married. Running a sheep property kept us busy, but one thing stayed on my mind. “I’d love to buy back the pub one day,” I said to Craig. Part of me still longed for the days of being behind the bar and welcoming customers with a smile, just like my grandfather had.
In 2014, the pub came on the market again, so Craig and I went for it. Our offer was successful.
Running it again was like stepping back in time; nothing much had changed, and I enjoyed slipping into my old job. But Craig and I had plans to expand. We used our savings and did some renovations (翻新), like putting in a beer garden outside and building more motel (汽车旅馆) rooms. I felt like I was not only doing a great business, but also keeping alive our family tradition.
In February 2021, I went to the neighboring state to get some supplies and on the way back, I got a call from Craig. “There’s been a fire at the pub,” he cried. Being hours away was hard as I didn't know how bad the damage was.
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。
When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For a long time I didn't understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in hospitals. The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother. The nurses checked heart, blood and oxygen levels, made sure patients were comfortable. They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom. Beyond their duties, the nurses displayed consideration for each patient.
What I saw helped me to understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation. I was filled with more admiration for my mother.

【5题详解】
推理判断题。第二段“She often had to work on Christmas, Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, and sometimes Thanksgiving, which made me upset”和“But when it was time to go to work, there was no room for debate. ‘Why do you have to work on this day of all days?’ I'd ask sadly.‘They need me, too, dear son,’she'd respond, compassion in her tone.”描述了作者的妈妈在假期或节日要上班,这让作者很难过。可知,作者想让妈妈在假期呆在家里陪他,故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段的内容“For a long time I didn't understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in hospitals….”以及“What I saw helped me to understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation.”可知,当作者的祖母病了,在医院的所见所闻,我才理解了妈妈。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了作者的妈妈为了能接送作者上学,只上夜班。作为一名护士,她在节假日要上班,这让作者非常难过,也对妈妈不理解。但当自己的祖母病了,在医院的所见所闻让他理解了作为护士的妈妈,从而对妈妈更加钦佩了。本文的主旨在最后一段“I was filled with more admiration for my mother”。分析选项可知C。
【点睛】 每篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点,概括中心思想。如第4小题,本文主要介绍了作者的妈妈为了能接送作者上学,只上夜班。作为一名护士,她在节假日要上班,这让作者非常难过,也对妈妈不理解。但当自己的祖母病了,在医院的所见所闻让我理解了作为护士的妈妈,从而对妈妈更加钦佩了。本文的主旨在最后一段“I was filled with more admiration for my mother”。分析选项可知C。

C
You will probably spot people showing their shiny lives online: sunsets during vacations, perfectly delicate meals, and broad smiles in photos. People prepare those carefully to make themselves look successful or happy. But few notice a quiet change: the “you” online is more and more different from the “you” in real life. Psychologists say this rift of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others. It makes the line between “show” and “real life” unclear, and soon we may not know which “you” is real.
As you age, the pressure to “perform” online gets stronger. Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be a “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers. Randy, 17, from London, calls this “switching masks”. “I have three Instagram accounts — one for family, one for school, and one for random chatter,” she says. Recent studies prove this constant switching makes teens 40% more anxious since it’s definitely hard for them to have one steady identity.
Worse still, this “show” doesn’t stop when you switch off the app. If you spend years acting like a “happy person” online, you start comparing your real life to that. Maria, a housewife in Toronto, deleted her Facebook account. Her posts about “happy motherhood” made her feel guilty because in real life, she was as busy as a bee for attending to her kids. “I’d look at my own photos and feel confused about the delighted face,” she says. Psychologists call this “digital division”: your brain starts seeing the online “you” as the “perfect you”, and thinks your real feelings are failures.
The answer isn’t to quit social media. Instead, we should use it as a mirror, not a stage. We live in a world where we always need to “be on”, but the most human thing is to say when we’ re tired or not okay. The division between online and real life isn’t something we have to accept — it’s an option.
8. What does the underlined word “rift” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Recognition. B. Exposure. C. Distinction. D. Consistency.
9. Why does the author mention Randy?
A. To indicate a tendency among teens. B. To demonstrate her struggle on social media.
C. To show the Internet’s negative effect on teens. D. To display her ways of balancing her life.
10. Why did Maria cancel her Facebook account?
A. She wanted to protect her privacy. B. Her life got disturbed by ill comments.
C. Her online posts mismatched her real life. D. She had little time to record her daily life.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Show off Yourself, Say Hi to Website. B. Real You Affect Your Online Image.
C. Online Posts Mirror True Selves. D. Masks Online, Selves Offline.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出人们在网上展示精心修饰的形象,导致线上线下的 “自我” 产生割裂,引发焦虑和自我否定。作者建议不要逃离社交媒体,而应将其视为镜子而非舞台,真实表达自我。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But few notice a quiet change: the “you” online is more and more different from the “you” in real life.( 但很少有人注意到一个悄然的变化:网络上的“你”与现实生活中的“你”越来越不同。)”以及划线单词句中“Psychologists say this… of identity is changing how we view ourselves and connect with others.( 心理学家表示,这种身份的……正在改变我们看待自己的方式以及与他人建立联系的方式。)”由此可知,这里的“rift”指的是这种差异。C选项Distinction“区别/差异”符合语境。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Teens who grew up with social media often act as different people. For instance, they may be an “hard-working student” for parents, a “cool rebel (叛逆者) ” for friends, and a “considerate person” for strangers. Randy, 17, from London, calls this “switching masks”. “I have three Instagram accounts — one for family, one for school, and one for random chatter,” she says ( 在社交媒体环境中长大的青少年,常常会表现得像不同的人。例如,他们在父母面前可能是“勤奋的学生”,在朋友面前是 “很酷的叛逆者”,在陌生人面前又成了“体贴的人”。来自伦敦的17岁少年兰迪把这种现象称为“切换面具”。“我有三个 Instagram 账号——一个给家人看,一个给学校的人看,还有一个用来随便聊天。” 她说。)”可知,提到伴随社交媒体长大的青少年经常扮演不同的人,随后用 Randy 的例子来说明这一点。兰迪拥有三个不同的账号对应不同的身份(“switching masks”)。由此可知,作者举这个例子是为了具体说明青少年中存在的这种普遍趋势。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Maria, a housewife in Toronto, deleted her Facebook account. Her posts about “happy motherhood” made her feel guilty because in real life, she was as busy as a bee for attending to her kids. “I’d look at my own photos and feel confused about the delighted face,” she says. Psychologists call this “digital division”: your brain starts seeing the online “you” as the “perfect you”, and thinks your real feelings are failures.( 多伦多的家庭主妇玛丽亚就删除了她的脸书账号。她那些关于“快乐的母亲生活”的帖子让她感到内疚,因为在现实中,她为了照顾孩子忙得不可开交。“我看着自己的照片,会对那张笑容灿烂的脸感到困惑,”她说。心理学家将这种现象称为“数字分裂”:你的大脑开始将网络上的“你”视为“完美的你”,而认为你的真实感受是失败的表现。)”可推知,玛丽亚取消了她的脸书账号是因为她的网上形象与现实生活不匹配。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“The answer isn’t to quit social media. Instead, we should use it as a mirror, not a stage. We live in a world where we always need to “be on”, but the most human thing is to say when we’ re tired or not okay. The division between online and real life isn’t something we have to accept — it’s an option.( 解决办法不是放弃社交媒体。相反,我们应该将其当作一面镜子,而不是一个舞台。我们生活在一个总是需要“保持在线”的世界里,但最人性的做法是告诉别人我们何时感到疲惫或状态不佳。线上和现实生活的分隔并非我们必须接受的——它只是一个选择。)”可知,文章主要讨论了人们在网上精心打造虚假形象,而这与真实的自我产生了割裂,甚至影响了对真实自我的认知。由此可知,D 选项“网上的面具,网下的自我”最能概括文章的核心矛盾,适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。
D
The health benefits of sleep are both varied and well known. We all need to have enough sleep so as to be able to function well on both mental and physical tasks. Sleep is probably the best beauty treatment available to a person, allowing you to look younger overnight. This is probably the most superficial (表面的) benefit of sleep. The other benefits are incredibly important.
The amount of sleep that is required varies from one person to another and in many cases one person is at risk of not getting enough sleep. It is all too easy to settle into a habit that doesn’t really suit you when your family requires less sleep than you. They may well try to get up quietly and leave you resting a little longer. If they are successful in slipping (溜) out of the room and you remain in the same state of sleep then you are very lucky. Many people find themselves being disturbed by either sound or movement and then it can be difficult to return to sleep.
The fact is that whatever your reasons are for settling for less sleep than what is ideal for you, it is important to deal with your situation. Sleep is very important. Failing to get enough sleep is very costly to your health.
Many people have trouble getting to sleep. Their minds run on overtime or they become overtired. Perhaps you have simply gotten out of the habit of sleeping well. If this is the case then meditation (冥想) or hypnosis(催眠状态) can be very helpful.
Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation and is in fact the state between being awake and asleep. When learning to use hypnosis you can also teach yourself how to relax, let go of bad thoughts and prepare yourself naturally for sleep. It is natural and easy. Simply by listening to hypnotic songs you can train your mind to expect to sleep and return to your natural sleep patterns.
12. What will happen if you have enough high quality sleep?
A. You can never fail to perform your tasks. B. You can become more beautiful than others.
C. You can be joyful and full of energy. D. You can deal with others in an easy way.
13. What does the second paragraph imply?
A. You’d better not live with your family. B. A poor sleeping habit forms easily.
C. You should get used to various noises. D. It will make you annoyed when your sleep gets disturbed.
14. Why do some people have difficulty falling asleep?
A. They don’t intend to sleep well. B. They know nothing about hypnosis.
C. They are exhausted. D. They tend to work hard at night.
15. In which column of a newspaper can you read the text?
A. Finance. B. Society. C. Politics. D. Health.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了睡眠对身心、外貌的诸多益处,指出人们易养成不良睡眠习惯、存在入睡困难等问题,并推荐冥想和催眠来改善睡眠。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“We all need to have enough sleep so as to be able to function well on both mental and physical tasks.(我们都需要足够的睡眠,以便在心理和身体方面都能正常运作)”可知,如果你能获得足够的高质量睡眠,你会感到快乐且充满活力。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The amount of sleep that is required varies from one person to another and in many cases one person is at risk of not getting enough sleep. It is all too easy to settle into a habit that doesn’t really suit you when your family requires less sleep than you. They may well try to get up quietly and leave you resting a little longer. If they are successful in slipping (溜) out of the room and you remain in the same state of sleep then you are very lucky. Many people find themselves being disturbed by either sound or movement and then it can be difficult to return to sleep.(每个人所需的睡眠时间各不相同,许多情况下,一个人可能会面临睡眠不足的风险。当家人比你需要更少的睡眠时,很容易养成一种并不适合自己的习惯。他们可能会悄悄起床,让你多休息一会儿。如果他们成功溜出房间,而你仍处于相同的睡眠状态,那你就非常幸运了。许多人会因声音或动静而被打扰,之后再入睡变得困难)”可知,第二段暗示了不良的睡眠习惯很容易形成。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Their minds run on overtime or they become overtired. Perhaps you have simply gotten out of the habit of sleeping well.(他们的思维运转过快,或者变得过度疲劳。也许你只是已经不再习惯好好睡觉了)”可知,有些人难以入睡是因为他们太累了。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The health benefits of sleep are both varied and well known.(睡眠的健康益处多种多样且广为人知)”以及本文介绍了睡眠对身心、外貌的诸多益处,指出人们易养成不良睡眠习惯、存在入睡困难等问题,并推荐冥想和催眠来改善睡眠。可知,文章选自报纸的“健康”栏目。

C. Maybe you want to find a dream job.
D. Find careers that involve analyzing problems.

F. You can also turn to professionals for recommendations.
G. A dream career allows you to concentrate on your passions.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了如何通过兴趣分析、角色研究和技能培训来寻找理想职业。
【16题详解】
下文“Therefore, you can start by listing your favorite activities.(因此,你可以从列出你最喜欢的活动开始)”建议从个人爱好入手。空处和后文为因果关系,解释为什么要这样做。所以G项“理想的职业能让你专注于自己的热情所在。”符合语境。G项中的“passions”与后文的“favorite activities”相呼应。
【17题详解】
下文“Once you’ve decided upon your favorite activities, consider why you like them and what you enjoy about them.(一旦你确定了最喜欢的活动,思考你为什么喜欢它们,以及你喜欢它们的什么方面)”建议深入分析喜欢这些活动的原因。空处和前文为总起关系,是本段的主旨句。所以E项“确定那些活动中吸引你的地方。”符合语境。E项中的“appeals to you”是对下文“why you like them”的概括。
【18题详解】
下文“If you feel motivated by solving problems at work, you can find careers that focus on solving problems, depending on your interests and strengths.(如果你觉得解决工作中的问题有动力,你可以根据自己的兴趣和优势找到专注于解决问题的职业)”举例说明了如何根据兴趣寻找职业。空处和前文为顺接关系,引出下文的具体例子。所以D项“寻找涉及分析问题的职业。”符合语境。D项中的“analyzing problems”与下文的“solving problems”相呼应。
【19题详解】
上文“Carry out research on the requirements for the job.(针对该工作的要求进行调研)”建议了解职业门槛。下文“In this case, you might explore different colleges and universities to find a program that works best for you.(在这种情况下,你可以探索不同的学院和大学,找到最适合你的项目)”提到了去大学找项目,这通常是为了获得学位。空处和前后文为条件关系,说明需要学位的情况。所以A项“比如说你需要一个学位。”符合语境。A项中的degree引出了下文关于大学的建议。
【20题详解】
上文“Create a detailed resume and then search for job listings.(创建一份详细的简历,然后搜索职位列表)”介绍了求职的具体步骤。空处和前文为递进关系,补充另一种求职途径。所以F项“你也可以求助于专业人士的推荐。”符合语境。F项中的also表明这是在简历和招聘列表之外的另一种方法。
第三部分 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。从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

【答案】
Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear about your recent experience with your Chinese translation assignment. It’s understandable to feel upset, but remember that AI is a tool that aids learning rather than replacing our efforts.
I suggest using it as a tool rather than a substitute. AI-assisted learning can be very helpful, but it should complement your own understanding and effort. Perhaps you could use AI to check your work or for inspiration, but always ensure that your final submission reflects your own understanding and effort.
Stay positive, keep practicing, and I’m confident you’ll improve in no time.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
It was 1975. I left school at 16 to work at the Tibooburra Pub, which had special significance for my family. The pub had first been run by my great-grandfather, Walter, back in 1913 and then he sold it. In the late 1940s, my grandfather bought it back. Having spent so much time there as a kid, 1 thought it was a great place to work in. Grandfather’s cheerful smile and comforting voice made those years precious to me. Unfortunately, grandfather died from a heart attack and the pub was eventually sold to a family, which meant I had to find work elsewhere.
I then got a job at the local hospital and enjoyed it, though nothing felt the same as working for one’s own family. Aged 20, I connected with a man named Craig. Later we got married. Running a sheep property kept us busy, but one thing stayed on my mind. “I’d love to buy back the pub one day,” I said to Craig. Part of me still longed for the days of being behind the bar and welcoming customers with a smile, just like my grandfather had.
In 2014, the pub came on the market again, so Craig and I went for it. Our offer was successful.
Running it again was like stepping back in time; nothing much had changed, and I enjoyed slipping into my old job. But Craig and I had plans to expand. We used our savings and did some renovations (翻新), like putting in a beer garden outside and building more motel (汽车旅馆) rooms. I felt like I was not only doing a great business, but also keeping alive our family tradition.
In February 2021, I went to the neighboring state to get some supplies and on the way back, I got a call from Craig. “There’s been a fire at the pub,” he cried. Being hours away was hard as I didn't know how bad the damage was.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down.

“We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. The pub was reduced to a pile of ashes, with only the charred walls standing as a silent testament to its former self. The smell of smoke still lingered in the air, mixing with my tears. Craig stood there, equally devastated, as we surveyed the ruins. In that moment, it felt like all our dreams and efforts had gone up in flames.
“We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. Despite the overwhelming loss, something inside me refused to give up. The pub wasn’t just a business. It was a part of our family’s legacy, a place where memories were made and traditions were kept alive. We would not let this define the end of our story. With determination in our hearts, we began the long process of reconstruction. We reached out to friends, family, and even the community for support. Together, we worked tirelessly, rebuilding each brick, each beam, with love and resilience. And when the dust settled, the Tibooburra Pub stood again, not just as a building, but as a symbol of hope and the enduring spirit of our family.
