On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading. Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, citing moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information overload. “Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus. It’s become a common situation where modem people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us. 4. What can we learn about Unplug Day? A. It is a day for reading. B. It is a day without phones. C. It is a day away from the Internet. D. It is a day to spend with friends. 5. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Range. B. Cancel. C. Obtain. D. Prevent. 6. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media? A. Tasks’ delays. B. Stress from peers. C. Mental problems. D. A decreasing focus. 7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph? A. Enjoy the benefits of technology. B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices. C. Remove the apps informing new messages. D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Chen Jiawen为自己设置了一个 Unplug Day，在这一天远离网络和电子设备，文章呼吁当下年轻人不应当受控于电子设备。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading. (在这一天，她脱离了数字世界，专注于现实生活。早上，她一边听着音乐，一边为自己准备早餐。下午，她和朋友们在公园里散步，晚上，他们一起吃饭，不碰手机，进行深入的交谈。一回家，她就用晚上的时间读书。)”可知，Chen Jiawen在这一天会远离数码网络世界，回归真实生活。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. (Unplug Day是她combat过度使用手机造成的信息过载和重建注意力计划的一部分)”可知， Chen Jiawen过Unplug Day是想要阻止手机信息过量，重新找回专注力。由此可推知，画线词意思是“阻止”，与D项“Prevent”意思相近。故选 D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus. (Chen还补充说，把自己埋没在社交媒体上，使她无法按计划完成工作，导致心理负担和注意力下降。)”可知，沉溺于媒体会直接导致Chen Jiawen不能按计划完成工作。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. (为了防止这种被移动设备“控制”的感觉，一些像Chen这样的中国年轻人正在尝试数字极简主义，并从他们的努力中发现了积极的结果。)”和“Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us. (我们的目标是控制技术，而不是让技术控制我们。)”可知，减少数码网络使用时间是有效果的，我们的目标是控制技术，而不是让技术控制我们。由此可推知，作者建议人们减少使用电子设备的时间。故选B。 C Honey is a simple pleasure. It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers. Honey starts out as nectar (花蜜), a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees. Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves. A food-hunting worker bee, though, does things differently. The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar, up to almost half the bee’s unloaded body mass, and filling it may require a thousand flower visits. The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing, as the honey stomach produces enzymes (酶) that break down the larger, complex sugar molecule (分子) into smaller ones. On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings. Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar) do they seal the cells with beeswax lids. At this point, it is well and truly honey. An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km. The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast; it can surely only add to the pleasure. 8. What is the function of nectar in flowering plants? A. To appeal to pollinating insects. B. To store energy for the plant. C. To help worker bees produce enzymes. D. To help the plant absorb nutrients. 9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. The cells are sealed with worker bees’ wings. B. Producing honey requires teamwork. C. The drying work is done by female bees. D. It’s critical to maintain water percentage. 10. How is the last paragraph developed? A. By listing figures. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparisons. D. By providing examples. 11. Which may be a suitable title for the text? A. Skilled Workers B. A Simple Pleasure C. Advanced and Intelligent Creatures D. Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate Work 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了蜂蜜的生产过程，从花蜜的采集到在蜂巢中转化为蜂蜜的复杂工序，强调了蜜蜂在其中付出的巨大努力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Honey starts out as nectar, a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees.(蜂蜜最初是花蜜，是开花植物产生的一种由各种糖类组成的溶液，用来吸引蝴蝶和各种蜜蜂等昆虫。)”可知，花蜜在开花植物中的功能是吸引传粉昆虫。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings.(回到蜜蜂生活和工作的蜂巢后，这只蜜蜂将含糖溶液交给其他工蜂，工蜂们在彼此之间来回传递，每次都加入更多的酶。一旦混合物足够粘稠，它就被放入蜂巢的蜂蜡巢室中，工蜂们继续用翅膀扇动来干燥它。)”可知，花蜜转化为蜂蜜需要多只工蜂来回传递、扇动翅膀，由此可以推断出，生产蜂蜜需要团队合作。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km.(一个普通的蜂巢一个季节大约生产11公斤蜂蜜，这需要蜜蜂飞行超过150万公里。一罐标准蜂蜜需要大约8万公里。)”可知，本段通过列举大量数字来说明生产蜂蜜所耗费的巨大努力，由此可以推断出，最后一段是通过列数字的方式展开论述的。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers(当你在抹了黄油的吐司上享受它那奢华的甜味时，很容易忘记它是涉及先进生物机器和成千上万熟练工人的复杂生产线的最终产品)”以及最后一段“The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast; it can surely only add to the pleasure(在将蜂蜜涂在吐司上时，值得记住的是制作蜂蜜所付出的努力，这无疑只会增加这份快乐)”可知，文章的核心在于强调蜂蜜这种“奢华的甜味”背后是蜜蜂复杂而精细的劳作，D项“Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate Work(精细劳作得来的奢华甜味)”表达的含义最适合作为本文标题。 D Titled “A new future of work: The race to deploy (部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday. The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market. High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages, while low-wage industries could experience a surplus (剩余) of labor. The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent, while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent. Germany, according to the report, is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030, representing 7 percent of its total employment. Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest, accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions. In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. McKinsey researchers call on managers to invest heavily in employee education and training, saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce, AI cannot fully release its potential. The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth. It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to AI research, development, and application and the safety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for AI systems should be clarified, ensuring track ability and repair ability of responsible parties. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The threats posed by AI. B. The future workforce training. C. The advantages of AI workforce. D. The potential effect of AI on workforce. 13. What is emphasized to meet the challenge? A. Education and training. B. Skills of management. C. Government investment. D. Policy and opportunities. 14. What is the author's attitude towards AI development? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 15. Which column of a news website may the text be taken from? A. Fashion. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Service. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了一份关于AI对未来劳动力市场影响的报告。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market.(报告指出，生成性人工智能可以使美国和欧洲近三分之一的工作时间实现自动化，这将导致劳动力市场的两极分化)”可知，第二段主要讲述了人工智能可能对劳动力市场的影响，即人工智能的潜在影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. (此外，该报告强调了提升技能和重新技能培训的重要性，以满足人工智能带来的挑战和机遇，建议个人可以通过积极参与培训项目来适应)”可知，为应对人工智能带来的挑战，需要加强教育和培训。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. (人工智能的快速发展和广泛应用是不可避免的趋势，必须通过发展来解决潜在的风险和问题)”可知，作者认为人工智能的发展是必然趋势，并提出了解决潜在风险的方法，由此可推知作者对于人工智能发展的态度是客观的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Titled “A new future of work: The race to deploy(部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday.( 标题为“工作的新未来：在欧洲及其他地区部署AI和提升技能的竞赛”，该报告强调了AI到2030年改变全球劳动力的潜力，中国媒体集团在周日的报道中说。)”、 第三段“In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. (此外，该报告强调了提升技能和重新技能培训的重要性，以满足人工智能带来的挑战和机遇，建议个人可以通过积极参与培训项目来适应)”以及最后一段“The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. (人工智能的快速发展和广泛应用是不可避免的趋势，必须通过发展来解决潜在的风险和问题)”可知，文章主要围绕人工智能对劳动力的影响以及相关的应对措施展开，属于科技范畴。所以这篇文章可能来自新闻网站的科技专栏。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Volunteer at an Animal Shelter When you think of volunteering at an animal shelter, you might think of walking dogs or brushing cats.

Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. My father had died five years earlier, leaving us worse off; we relied on social assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful. Looking back, I realized what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. Our rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would move out right after Christmas on the first of January. The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. It was four days before Christmas. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our back rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts. What Mom didn’t know was that I had been selling Christmas trees, sweeping snow and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots —boots that weren’t patched; boots with no cardboard in it. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, Pierre Paris boots, and they cost $23. The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried up the shopping center for it. On the way, I noticed a grocery store. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 The Christmas lights and decorations held me, and I slowed my pace. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Once home, I piled the groceries on the porch (门廊) and knocked on the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 The Christmas lights and decorations held me, and I slowed my pace. It was then that I realized in our dim house, we had no lights, no decorations and no money for Christmas. A strange sense of guilt suddenly engulfed me. With Pierre Paris boots still in my mind, I tried to convince myself there was at least French toast tonight. However, my family’ disappointed faces on that cold Christmas kept lingering in my mind clearly. After what seemed like a century, I ultimately made the resolution and stepped into the grocery store, eyes brimming with determination. I bought a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every dime of my hard-earned money and went back to my house. Paragraph 2 Once home, I piled the groceries on the porch (门廊) and knocked on the door. Out came my thin mom. The instant she unlocked the door, the groceries fell inside. Staring hard at these items, she was dumbfounded. Tears threatening to spill over my eyes, I hollered, “Merry Christmas, Mother! There really is a Santa Claus!” Words seemed to fail to convey her emotions so that she embraced me tightly. It was when a half-choking “Thanks” escaped from her mouth that a sense of achievement surged through me. I bet I would never have had such satisfaction if I had bought the Pierre Paris boots then. I had a lot of explaining to do as we unpacked all the food. That night, I, an eleven-year-old boy, received the most precious Christmas gift—my responsibility and satisfaction for my family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家境艰难，买不起新鞋，房租也即将到期。而作者瞒着母亲一直在兼职工作，以便挣足够的钱买一双新靴子，但是最终作者还是选择用赚来的钱给家人买了节日要吃的食物。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“圣诞彩灯和装饰品吸引了我，我放慢了脚步。”可知，第一段可描写作者选择购买食物回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“一到家，我就把杂货堆在门廊上，然后敲门。”可知，第二段可描写母亲看到食物后的反应。 2.续写线索：被吸引——负罪感——购买食物——回家——母亲感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try to/attempt to ②走进：step into/go into ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①沮丧的：disappointed / depressed/frustrated ②满足：satisfaction /content 【点睛】[高分句型1] After what seemed like a century, I ultimately made the resolution and stepped into the grocery store, eyes brimming with determination.

B Every so often, 31-year-old Chen Jiawen, a product designer at a technology company Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading. Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, citing moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information overload. “Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus. It’s become a common situation where modem people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us. 4. What can we learn about Unplug Day? A. It is a day for reading. B. It is a day without phones. C. It is a day away from the Internet. D. It is a day to spend with friends. 5. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Range. B. Cancel. C. Obtain. D. Prevent. 6. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media? A. Tasks’ delays. B. Stress from peers. C. Mental problems. D. A decreasing focus. 7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph? A. Enjoy the benefits of technology. B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices. C. Remove the apps informing new messages. D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights. C Honey is a simple pleasure. It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers. Honey starts out as nectar (花蜜), a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees. Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves. A food-hunting worker bee, though, does things differently. The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar, up to almost half the bee’s unloaded body mass, and filling it may require a thousand flower visits. The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing, as the honey stomach produces enzymes (酶) that break down the larger, complex sugar molecule (分子) into smaller ones. On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings. Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar) do they seal the cells with beeswax lids. At this point, it is well and truly honey. An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km. The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast; it can surely only add to the pleasure. 8. What is the function of nectar in flowering plants? A. To appeal to pollinating insects. B. To store energy for the plant. C. To help worker bees produce enzymes. D. To help the plant absorb nutrients. 9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. The cells are sealed with worker bees’ wings. B. Producing honey requires teamwork. C. The drying work is done by female bees. D. It’s critical to maintain water percentage. 10. How is the last paragraph developed? A. By listing figures. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparisons. D. By providing examples. 11. Which may be a suitable title for the text? A. Skilled Workers B. A Simple Pleasure C. Advanced and Intelligent Creatures D. Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate Work D Titled “A new future of work: The race to deploy (部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday. The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market. High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages, while low-wage industries could experience a surplus (剩余) of labor. The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent, while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent. Germany, according to the report, is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030, representing 7 percent of its total employment. Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest, accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions. In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. McKinsey researchers call on managers to invest heavily in employee education and training, saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce, AI cannot fully release its potential. The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth. It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to AI research, development, and application and the safety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for AI systems should be clarified, ensuring track ability and repair ability of responsible parties. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The threats posed by AI. B. The future workforce training. C. The advantages of AI workforce. D. The potential effect of AI on workforce. 13. What is emphasized to meet the challenge? A. Education and training. B. Skills of management. C. Government investment. D. Policy and opportunities. 14. What is the author's attitude towards AI development? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 15. Which column of a news website may the text be taken from? A. Fashion. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Service. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Volunteer at an Animal Shelter When you think of volunteering at an animal shelter, you might think of walking dogs or brushing cats.

Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. My father had died five years earlier, leaving us worse off; we relied on social assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful. Looking back, I realized what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. Our rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would move out right after Christmas on the first of January. The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. It was four days before Christmas. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our back rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts. What Mom didn’t know was that I had been selling Christmas trees, sweeping snow and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots —boots that weren’t patched; boots with no cardboard in it. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, Pierre Paris boots, and they cost $23. The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried up the shopping center for it. On the way, I noticed a grocery store. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 The Christmas lights and decorations held me, and I slowed my pace. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Once home, I piled the groceries on the porch (门廊) and knocked on the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
