Shared Mobility: Making Travel Easier for All
Shared mobility services, such as carshares and bikeshares, have positive effects on the environment. However, access to these services is not equal for everyone. Research shows that shared mobility services are more commonly available in wealthier urban areas. Most users tend to be younger, wealthier, and physically able. To build a sustainable transportation system, it is essential to make these services inclusive for all people.
Some cities have introduced programs to support low-income residents. These programs help increase the use of shared vehicles and reduce dependence on personal cars. Recently, about 70% of micromobility programs in the US have taken measures to better serve disadvantaged groups, such as accepting cash payments and offering non-smartphone booking options.
Still, many barriers remain. Surveys indicate that people in rural areas and those with lower incomes encounter more obstacles when trying to use bikeshares. Cost, lack of familiarity, and limited availability are common problems, as illustrated in the Figure.
Non-profit organizations are also playing an important role. For example, SharedMobility Inc., a Buffalo-based NGO, provides free e-bikes to underserved communities and organizes training sessions to promote cycling culture and safety. Mobitwin in Belgium supports elderly people and those with limited mobility by providing affordable rides booked via telephone. Similarly, Tim Carsharing in Austria offers vehicles suitable for wheelchairs and provides child seats upon request.
In conclusion, understanding different needs and making services more adaptable are key steps toward fair and sustainable urban transportation.
1. What is the purpose of making shared mobility services inclusive for all?
A. To promote cash payments.
B. To lower transportation costs.
C. To make transportation sustainable.
D. To reduce reliance on private cars.
2. Which is the major obstacle preventing low-income urban people from using bikeshares?
A. Safety concerns. B. High cost.
C. Lack of familiarity. D. Limited availability.
3. Which measure is taken by Tim Carsharing in Austria?
A. Providing free e-bikes. B. Booking rides by smartphone.
C. Organizing training sessions. D. Offering wheelchair-friendly vehicles.
B
At 76 years old, Zhang Guohui is not a man who spends his days in quiet retirement. Instead, his hands, rough and work-worn from sixty years of labor, continue to shape wood into floating history. He is one of the last living masters of the ancient art of building traditional Chinese sailing ships using “watertight-bulkhead” technology. This method was so important that it was once a carefully kept secret of Chinese shipbuilders. Today, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
Zhang’s journey began at the young age of 16, when he first started learning at a shipyard in Quanzhou. Long ago, Quanzhou was the starting point of the Maritime (adj. 海的) Silk Road. In those days, building a wooden ship was a huge task that required the whole community’s help and the master’s deep knowledge of the sea. “You don’t just follow a drawing,” Zhang explains in his local way of speaking. “You have to feel the wood, understand its lines, and know how it will bend to the power of the waves.” The watertight-bulkhead method divides the ship’s body into several separate parts. This was a wonderful invention of ancient engineering. If one part of the ship was broken, it would not sink.
Today, the loud noise of motor boats has long replaced the rhythmic sound of hammers in Quanzhou Bay. People no longer need large wooden sailing ships. However, Zhang’s love for his craft has not faded; it has only found a new direction. He now spends his time creating beautiful, small-scale models of the very ships he once helped build. His workshop has become a place full of maritime history, filled with careful copies of Fujian trading ships. Each model has working doors and perfectly fitted wooden pieces. “The size has changed,” he says, carefully painting a tiny rudder (n. 舵) , “but the heart, the skill, the spirit. It’s all the same.” For Zhang Guohui, these models are not just objects, they are carriers of an old tradition moving into the future. They show a lifetime of hard work dedicated to making sure that the wisdom of the past is not lost to the passing of time.
4. What do we learn about the “watertight-bulkhead” technology?
A. It was a method known only to Chinese shipbuilders.
B. It is a modern technology first used in motor boats.
C. It was invented by Zhang Guohui when he was young.
D. It is still widely used to build large ships in Quanzhou today.
5. What is the advantage of the watertight-bulkhead technology?
A. It is a method that anyone can easily learn.
B. It made ships much safer and less likely to sink.
C. It is a modern technology now used in motor boats.
D. It allows builders to work without following drawings.
6. What is the author’s attitude towards Zhang Guohui’s work?
A. Negative B. Uninterested C. Admiring D. Doubtful
7. Which of the following words best describes Zhang Guohui’s character?
A. realistic and profit-driven B. kindhearted and considerate
C. hardworking and devoted D. casual and easy-going
C
Everyone knows walking is good for you, and many of us count our daily steps. But is it better to take a longer walk than a comparable number of steps spread across the day? A recent multinational study reveals that walking in longer continuous sessions provides greater health benefits than accumulating the same number of steps through short bursts throughout the day.
Researchers analyzed data from 33,560 British adults aged 40-79 who averaged less than 8,000 daily steps. Participants were asked to wear an accelerometer for about seven days to establish how much they typically walk. Participants were sorted into four categories according to whether they accumulated most of their steps: under 5 minutes, 5-10 minutes, 10-15 minutes, or over 15 minutes. Scientists found that those who mainly walked in more than 15 minute sessions showed an 83% lower mortality (死亡)risk and 68% lower cardiovascular (心血管的)disease risk compared to those taking less than 5 minutes’ walks.
“We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but neglect the crucial role of patterns,” said Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the researchers, who is director of the University of Sydney’s Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub in Sydney, Australia. “The study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by tweaking their walking patterns to walk for longer at a time, ideally for at least 10-15 minutes.”
But the researchers took steps to determine whether better health caused the longer walks rather than vice versa. For instance, they analyzed their findings without including volunteers who were reported fair or poor health, yet results were still “in line with those of our main analyses.”
Aiden Doherty, a professor at the University of Oxford said the study was conducted “by some of the world’s leading physical activity researchers” and introduced a brand new concept, but “the results need to be reproduced in other studies in other countries to see if this might be due to a direct causal relationship rather than a simple connection between factors.”
8. How did the researchers categorize the participants in the study?
A. By their age groups and national backgrounds. B. By the condition of their cardiovascular health.
C. By the total number of steps they took within a day. D. By the length of their continuous walking sessions.
9. The underlined word “tweaking” in paragraph 3 most probably means _______.
A. replacing completely B. adjusting slightly C. criticizing severely D. measuring accurately
10. What is Professor Doherty’s attitude toward the findings?
A. Favorable B. Cautious C. Disapproving D. Indifferent
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Walking More Steps leads to Better Health. B. Older Adults Should Prioritize More Walking.
C. Walking Patterns Significantly Affect Longevity. D. Walking Style matters More Than Step Count.
D
Considered nature’s engineers, beavers (河狸) build dams across streams to create ponds. They are a key species due to their significant impact on streams, the movement of water, water quality, and the other animals that live there. Beavers can change their environments mainly through dam construction. The effects of these dams can be different in geographical regions, but scientists do not have a clear understanding of how they affect water quality, habitat, and sedimentation (沉积).
“Due to limited study, some research scientists must make decisions on how the conservation, expansion, and reintroduction of beavers can make a difference to their local streams based on findings from ecosystems that are more frequently studied and better understood,” said EPA researcher Ken Fritz.
Ken Fritz, Johnson, Heather Golden, and Brent Johnson, in collaboration with other researchers from Miami University, Ohio, conducted a scientific literature review to better understand how beaver dams influence stream systems across different biogeographical regions. Their paper used 267 peer-reviewed studies to quantify the effects of beaver dams. The literature review found that beaver dams had profound environmental effects. The impacts on stream morphology (形态学) and water movement were similar across geographical regions. Stream health also appeared to improve with beaver conservation.
Specifically, results show that while nitrate and suspended sediments decreased downstream from beaver dams, pollutants like methyl mercury, dissolved organic carbon, and ammonium concentrations increased. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations tended to not be affected by beaver dams. The effects beaver dams have on pollutants vary depending on environmental conditions — like temperature, sunlight, water velocity and depth — that aid in changing and transporting certain pollutants.
On a larger scale, beaver dams slow water flow and increase sedimentation, and most pollutants likely settle out of the water into sediments upstream of the beaver dam. These areas could become zones of high concentration of some harmful pollutants for exposed wildlife.
These findings can be useful for stream conservation and restoration efforts that introduce or protect beavers. Additional studies are needed in dry or cold biomes historically occupied by beavers and in new environments where beaver populations are currently expanding.
12. What impact do beaver dams have on the environment?
A. Water quality and living habitats.
B. The climate of different regions.
C. The safety of other wildlife.
D. The increasing number of plant species.
13. What can we conclude about the influence of beaver dams?
A. They effectively reduce all types of pollutants in streams.
B. They may create hidden environmental risks for wildlife nearby.
C. They mainly control pollution by changing water temperature and sunlight.
D. They lead to higher concentrations of harmful pollutants downstream.
14. How did the researchers carry out their study?
A. By conducting a literature review on beavers.
B. By observing wild beavers in different regions.
C. By summarizing plenty of previous related studies.
D. By inventing a novel approach to protect stream systems.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Current research on beavers is far from complete.
B. Beaver protection has greatly improved stream health.
C. Dry and cold regions are ideal habitats for beavers.
D. Stream restoration relies mainly on beaver introduction.

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。
Last Saturday, my best friend Lily and I went to the park near our community to walk our dogs. The sun was shining brightly, the wind was soft and gentle, and birds were singing in the trees. We chatted happily about our school life and interesting things in daily life, while watching our lovely dogs running and playing freely on the green grass. It was such a relaxing and pleasant afternoon.
Suddenly, our dogs stopped by a big old tree and began barking loudly. They kept staring at the hollow (洞) in the trunk, as if they had found something strange. We walked over curiously to see what was happening. To our surprise, we found a tiny, shivering kitten stuck in the deep hole. It was so small and weak that it couldn’t climb out at all. Its sad and weak meows (喵) touched our hearts deeply. We quickly bent down and tried to reach it with our hands, but the hole was too deep. We just couldn’t touch it no matter how hard we tried.
We really wanted to call for help, but there was no one else around at that moment. The kitten became more and more frightened. It kept scratching the inside of the trunk and crying even louder, which made us feel worried and helpless. We looked at each other and both agreed that we couldn’t just leave the poor little cat there alone. So we made up our minds to find a way to get it out safely. We ran quickly to a nearby small shop to borrow some tools. Soon we came back with a long rope, a small basket and a bag of cat food, ready to save the kitten.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We tied the basket to the rope and slowly lowered it into the hollow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After we took the little cat home, we gave it a warm bath and prepared some milk for it.

At 76 years old, Zhang Guohui is not a man who spends his days in quiet retirement. Instead, his hands, rough and work-worn from sixty years of labor, continue to shape wood into floating history. He is one of the last living masters of the ancient art of building traditional Chinese sailing ships using “watertight-bulkhead” technology. This method was so important that it was once a carefully kept secret of Chinese shipbuilders. Today, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
Zhang’s journey began at the young age of 16, when he first started learning at a shipyard in Quanzhou. Long ago, Quanzhou was the starting point of the Maritime (adj. 海的) Silk Road. In those days, building a wooden ship was a huge task that required the whole community’s help and the master’s deep knowledge of the sea. “You don’t just follow a drawing,” Zhang explains in his local way of speaking. “You have to feel the wood, understand its lines, and know how it will bend to the power of the waves.” The watertight-bulkhead method divides the ship’s body into several separate parts. This was a wonderful invention of ancient engineering. If one part of the ship was broken, it would not sink.
Today, the loud noise of motor boats has long replaced the rhythmic sound of hammers in Quanzhou Bay. People no longer need large wooden sailing ships. However, Zhang’s love for his craft has not faded; it has only found a new direction. He now spends his time creating beautiful, small-scale models of the very ships he once helped build. His workshop has become a place full of maritime history, filled with careful copies of Fujian trading ships. Each model has working doors and perfectly fitted wooden pieces. “The size has changed,” he says, carefully painting a tiny rudder (n. 舵) , “but the heart, the skill, the spirit. It’s all the same.” For Zhang Guohui, these models are not just objects, they are carriers of an old tradition moving into the future. They show a lifetime of hard work dedicated to making sure that the wisdom of the past is not lost to the passing of time.
4. What do we learn about the “watertight-bulkhead” technology?
A. It was a method known only to Chinese shipbuilders.
B. It is a modern technology first used in motor boats.
C. It was invented by Zhang Guohui when he was young.
D. It is still widely used to build large ships in Quanzhou today.

Everyone knows walking is good for you, and many of us count our daily steps. But is it better to take a longer walk than a comparable number of steps spread across the day? A recent multinational study reveals that walking in longer continuous sessions provides greater health benefits than accumulating the same number of steps through short bursts throughout the day.
Researchers analyzed data from 33,560 British adults aged 40-79 who averaged less than 8,000 daily steps. Participants were asked to wear an accelerometer for about seven days to establish how much they typically walk. Participants were sorted into four categories according to whether they accumulated most of their steps: under 5 minutes, 5-10 minutes, 10-15 minutes, or over 15 minutes. Scientists found that those who mainly walked in more than 15 minute sessions showed an 83% lower mortality (死亡)risk and 68% lower cardiovascular (心血管的)disease risk compared to those taking less than 5 minutes’ walks.
“We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but neglect the crucial role of patterns,” said Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the researchers, who is director of the University of Sydney’s Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub in Sydney, Australia. “The study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by tweaking their walking patterns to walk for longer at a time, ideally for at least 10-15 minutes.”
But the researchers took steps to determine whether better health caused the longer walks rather than vice versa. For instance, they analyzed their findings without including volunteers who were reported fair or poor health, yet results were still “in line with those of our main analyses.”
Aiden Doherty, a professor at the University of Oxford said the study was conducted “by some of the world’s leading physical activity researchers” and introduced a brand new concept, but “the results need to be reproduced in other studies in other countries to see if this might be due to a direct causal relationship rather than a simple connection between factors.”
8. How did the researchers categorize the participants in the study?
A. By their age groups and national backgrounds. B. By the condition of their cardiovascular health.
C. By the total number of steps they took within a day. D. By the length of their continuous walking sessions.
9. The underlined word “tweaking” in paragraph 3 most probably means _______.
A. replacing completely B. adjusting slightly C. criticizing severely D. measuring accurately
10. What is Professor Doherty’s attitude toward the findings?
A. Favorable B. Cautious C. Disapproving D. Indifferent
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Walking More Steps leads to Better Health. B. Older Adults Should Prioritize More Walking.
C. Walking Patterns Significantly Affect Longevity. D. Walking Style matters More Than Step Count.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Participants were sorted into four categories according to whether they accumulated most of their steps: under 5 minutes, 5-10 minutes, 10-15 minutes, or over 15 minutes.(研究人员根据参与者积累大部分步数的连续时长,将他们分为四类:不到5分钟、5-10分钟、10-15分钟以及超过15分钟)”可知,研究人员是按照参与者连续步行的时长对其进行分类的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by tweaking their walking patterns to walk for longer at a time, ideally for at least 10-15 minutes.(研究表明,即使是运动极少的人,也能通过tweaking步行模式,每次步行时间更长一些(理想情况下至少10-15分钟),从而最大限度地提升心脏健康益处)”可知,tweaking是针对步行模式做出的调整,目的是让单次步行时间更长,结合语境推测其意为“轻微调整”。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Aiden Doherty, a professor at the University of Oxford said the study was conducted “by some of the world’s leading physical activity researchers’ and introduced a brand new concept, but ‘the results need to be reproduced in other studies in other countries to see if this might be due to a direct causal relationship rather than a simple connection between factors.”(牛津大学教授艾登·多尔蒂表示,这项研究由“世界顶尖的运动研究人员”开展,提出了全新概念,但“研究结果需要在其他国家的其他研究中重复验证,以确认这是否源于直接的因果关系,而非因素间的简单关联。”)”可知,多尔蒂教授认可研究的权威性和创新性,但认为结果需进一步验证,态度较为谨慎。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“A recent multinational study reveals that walking in longer continuous sessions provides greater health benefits than accumulating the same number of steps through short bursts throughout the day.(一项近期跨国研究发现,较长时间连续步行比较短时间分段累积相同步数,能带来更大健康益处)”、第三段中的““We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but neglect the crucial role of patterns,” said Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the researchers, who is director of the University of Sydney’s Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub in Sydney, Australia.(澳大利亚悉尼大学麦肯齐可穿戴设备研究中心主任、本研究的研究者之一伊曼纽尔・斯塔马塔基斯表示:“我们往往将所有关注点都放在步数或步行的总时长上,却忽视了步行模式所起的关键作用。”)”可知,文章核心围绕“步行模式对健康的影响”展开,强调连续步行时长的重要性。D项“步行方式比步数更重要”精准概括全文核心,适合作标题。故选D项。

Considered nature’s engineers, beavers (河狸) build dams across streams to create ponds. They are a key species due to their significant impact on streams, the movement of water, water quality, and the other animals that live there. Beavers can change their environments mainly through dam construction. The effects of these dams can be different in geographical regions, but scientists do not have a clear understanding of how they affect water quality, habitat, and sedimentation (沉积).
“Due to limited study, some research scientists must make decisions on how the conservation, expansion, and reintroduction of beavers can make a difference to their local streams based on findings from ecosystems that are more frequently studied and better understood,” said EPA researcher Ken Fritz.
Ken Fritz, Johnson, Heather Golden, and Brent Johnson, in collaboration with other researchers from Miami University, Ohio, conducted a scientific literature review to better understand how beaver dams influence stream systems across different biogeographical regions. Their paper used 267 peer-reviewed studies to quantify the effects of beaver dams. The literature review found that beaver dams had profound environmental effects. The impacts on stream morphology (形态学) and water movement were similar across geographical regions. Stream health also appeared to improve with beaver conservation.
Specifically, results show that while nitrate and suspended sediments decreased downstream from beaver dams, pollutants like methyl mercury, dissolved organic carbon, and ammonium concentrations increased. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations tended to not be affected by beaver dams. The effects beaver dams have on pollutants vary depending on environmental conditions — like temperature, sunlight, water velocity and depth — that aid in changing and transporting certain pollutants.
On a larger scale, beaver dams slow water flow and increase sedimentation, and most pollutants likely settle out of the water into sediments upstream of the beaver dam. These areas could become zones of high concentration of some harmful pollutants for exposed wildlife.
These findings can be useful for stream conservation and restoration efforts that introduce or protect beavers. Additional studies are needed in dry or cold biomes historically occupied by beavers and in new environments where beaver populations are currently expanding.
12. What impact do beaver dams have on the environment?
A. Water quality and living habitats.
B. The climate of different regions.
C. The safety of other wildlife.
D. The increasing number of plant species.
13. What can we conclude about the influence of beaver dams?
A. They effectively reduce all types of pollutants in streams.
B. They may create hidden environmental risks for wildlife nearby.
C. They mainly control pollution by changing water temperature and sunlight.
D. They lead to higher concentrations of harmful pollutants downstream.
14. How did the researchers carry out their study?
A. By conducting a literature review on beavers.
B. By observing wild beavers in different regions.
C. By summarizing plenty of previous related studies.
D. By inventing a novel approach to protect stream systems.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Current research on beavers is far from complete.
B. Beaver protection has greatly improved stream health.
C. Dry and cold regions are ideal habitats for beavers.
D. Stream restoration relies mainly on beaver introduction.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了2025年底以来中国社交媒体上流行的短语“爱你,亲爱的老自己”及其流行原因和对中国年轻人的意义。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:暖心短语“爱你,亲爱的老自己”自2025年底以来席卷中国社交媒体,引起了广泛关注。根据时间状语since late 2025可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语The heartwarming phrase为单数,谓语动词也应用单数形式,故填has swept。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是一个友好的昵称,让人们能够退后一步,用善意与自己对话。nickname为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一个友好的昵称”,为泛指,且friendly是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a,故填a。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:通过称自己为“老朋友”,年轻人温柔地提醒自己在日常生活中停下来,善待自己。此处修饰动词remind,应用副词形式,gentle的副词为gently,故填gently。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:这个表达已被列入上个月发布的“2025年度十大网络热词”。根据时间状语last month和语境可知,此处应用一般过去时,且主语This expression与include之间为被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,故填was included。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:研究人员将其解读为对当今年轻人面临的巨大压力的一种回应。a response to...为固定搭配,意为“对……的回应”,故填to。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:北京大学刘海华教授解释说,其核心不在于逃避挑战,而在于通过微小的善举培养内在力量。not...but...为固定搭配,意为“不是……而是……”,故填but。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:年轻人真正需要的是自我认同。此处引导主语从句,从句中缺少need的宾语,且表示“……的东西”,所以用what引导,句首首字母大写,故填What。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这一趋势代表着一种健康的心理转变,其根源在于接纳自己的情绪状态。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰a healthy psychological turn,root与逻辑主语之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词形式,故填rooted。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:从早期反映缺乏动力的流行词“丧文化”,到“佛系青年”,再到“躺平”,如今再到“爱你,亲爱的老自己”,世界正见证着中国年轻人一场盛大的情感和解,他们在数字空间中寻求慰藉。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Sang culture,指物,从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which引导,故填which。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:从早期反映缺乏动力的流行词“丧文化”,到“佛系青年”,再到“躺平”,如今再到“爱你,亲爱的老自己”,世界正见证着中国年轻人一场盛大的情感和解,他们在数字空间中寻求慰藉。此处作find的宾语,应用名词形式,relieve的名词为relief,为不可数名词,故填relief。

【答案】Dear schoolmates,
Digital products have made our life and study easier, but many of us are spending too much time online, influencing our health and real-life communication. To enjoy a better life, we should use digital tools wisely.
First, we’d better set a time limit on using phones and computers. Second, it’s a good choice to take up offline hobbies such as reading and sports. What’s more, we should communicate more with people around us instead of being lost in the virtual world.
Let’s take control of our digital life and live a more meaningful and healthy life.

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。
Last Saturday, my best friend Lily and I went to the park near our community to walk our dogs. The sun was shining brightly, the wind was soft and gentle, and birds were singing in the trees. We chatted happily about our school life and interesting things in daily life, while watching our lovely dogs running and playing freely on the green grass. It was such a relaxing and pleasant afternoon.
Suddenly, our dogs stopped by a big old tree and began barking loudly. They kept staring at the hollow (洞) in the trunk, as if they had found something strange. We walked over curiously to see what was happening. To our surprise, we found a tiny, shivering kitten stuck in the deep hole. It was so small and weak that it couldn’t climb out at all. Its sad and weak meows (喵) touched our hearts deeply. We quickly bent down and tried to reach it with our hands, but the hole was too deep. We just couldn’t touch it no matter how hard we tried.
We really wanted to call for help, but there was no one else around at that moment. The kitten became more and more frightened. It kept scratching the inside of the trunk and crying even louder, which made us feel worried and helpless. We looked at each other and both agreed that we couldn’t just leave the poor little cat there alone. So we made up our minds to find a way to get it out safely. We ran quickly to a nearby small shop to borrow some tools. Soon we came back with a long rope, a small basket and a bag of cat food, ready to save the kitten.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We tied the basket to the rope and slowly lowered it into the hollow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After we took the little cat home, we gave it a warm bath and prepared some milk for it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
We tied the basket to the rope and slowly lowered it into the hollow. The kitten was so scared that it hid in the corner at first, but when it smelled the cat food we put in the basket, it stepped in carefully. We pulled the rope up gently, and finally got the little guy out safely. It was covered in dirt, with a small cut on its paw, but it purred softly as soon as it was in our arms, as if thanking us. We wrapped it in a warm scarf and decided to take it home first.
After we took the little cat home, we gave it a warm bath and prepared some milk for it. It drank the milk hungrily, and soon became lively, playing with our dogs gently. We posted its information on the community group, hoping to find its owner. A few days later, a little girl came to pick it up, crying with joy. We learned that the kitten had run away from home and got lost. This experience taught us that every small life deserves to be cherished, and we should always be ready to help those in need, whether human or animal.
