Living Fully in the Math World
Wang Hong, a reserved mathematician wearing tortoiseshell glasses, rewrote global math history recently. She became the third woman worldwide and the first Chinese woman to win the Fields Medal, widely regarded as the Nobel Prize for mathematics.
Wang spent her childhood in Guilin in the 1990s. Her parents were both schoolteachers, yet they never burdened her with academic pressure. She enjoyed reading storybooks, playing ball games and walking around Guilin’s scenic hills with her family. Even with various hobbies, math shone brightest. She finished all exercises in new textbooks before each semester and bought extra math books to solve all problems. She showed remarkable natural talent for math from an early age. At six, she solved a tricky geometry brainteaser faster than her math-teacher father. She loved math for its permanence.
In middle school, Wang set her sights on majoring in mathematics at Peking University, but later failed to get the only provincial math admission spot and entered Peking University as an earth sciences student. Encouraged by her professor, she transferred to the math department, but hesitated between analysis and algebra for long. Her father then casually said analysis was easier than algebra. Still, determined not to let others’ casual remarks shape her final decision, Wang settled on algebra as her research focus, refusing to be swayed by outside opinions.
In 2011, Wang pursued further study at France’s École Polytechnique without knowing French. She overcame language difficulties and once tried architecture for one semester, but soon returned to math research. She stopped worrying about her ability and kept learning earnestly.
Following Wang Hong’s award, a heart-warming scene circulated in news reports: her French supervisor Professor Lefèvre stood by the doorway, watching her academic sharing session lovingly, with great relief and kindness. In his high praise for Wang Hong, the professor noted that few students could remain calm in the face of setbacks as she did. By winning the 2026 Fields Medal, she has proved that constant devotion can turn mathematical dreams into reality, blazing a trail for female researchers in mathematics.
4. What can we learn about Wang Hong as a child?
A. She was the brightest girl from an early age.
B. She displayed an exceptional inborn gift for math.
C. Her outdoor hobbies prevented her from focusing on math.
D. She worked out math problems under her parents’ pressure.
5. Why did Wang finally choose algebra as her research focus?
A. A tutor suggested algebra suited her strengths.
B. Algebra was less difficult than analysis.
C. She stuck to independent judgment.
D. She had deep passion for algebra.
6. Which words best describe Wang Hong?
A. Determined and persistent. B. Outgoing and sociable.
C. Creative and modest. D. Sensitive and hesitant.
7. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A science fiction. B. Her autobiography.
C. Daily newspaper. D. An academic journal.
C
Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
8. Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the author’s point.
B. To give a scientific explanation.
C. To provide historical background.
D. To present a common partial view.
9. For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site?
A. Climate benefit and natural value.
B. Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C. Geographical uniqueness and rare species.
D. Educational significance and cultural value.
10. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Addresses. B. Matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The formation of the Flow Country.
B. The recognition of the Lake District.
C. The long-overdue respect for peatlands.
D. The conservation difficulties of peatlands.
D
Wild chimpanzees are recognized for eating a wide variety of plant matter, which complicates researchers’ ability to determine whether they actively look for medicinal plants to heal themselves or simply consume plants that happen to have medicinal properties.
At the Budongo Central Forest Reserve in Uganda, University of Oxford researchers studied the behaviors and health of 51 wild chimpanzees from two habituated groups. They noted a male chimpanzee with a hand injury searching for and eating fern leaves, which might have eased pain and swelling. Additionally, they observed another ill chimpanzee consuming parts of a cat-thorn tree.
The team also tested the plant species in the reserve, which they suspected were being consumed by the chimpanzees to self-medicate, for anti-inflammatory (抗炎) and antibacterial (抗菌) characteristics. The species included plants not part of the chimpanzees’ normal diet, but being consumed for their healing characteristics. The authors found 88% of the plant species had antibacterial characteristics, arresting the growth of bacteria, while 33% of them had anti- inflammatory characteristics.
Deadwood from a tree in the Dogbane family showed the strongest antibacterial activity and also had anti-inflammatory characteristics, suggesting it could be used to treat wounds, they said. Roots from the East African mahogany tree and leaves from fem were found to exhibit potential anti-inflammatory effects. The results suggested that chimpanzees looked for and ate specific plants for their medicinal effects, and the study was one of the first to document evidence of this kind, the authors said.
Team member Fabien Schultz hopes that the findings might lead to promising candidates for human medicines. “What if human lives can be saved by following the ways of our animal relatives?” he says.
12. Why is it challenging to determine if chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants?
A. Medicinal plants are rare in the forest.
B. Chimpanzees consume a wide variety of plant matter.
C. Chimpanzees hide themselves when they are sick or injured.
D. Researchers can hardly observe chimpanzees in the thick forest.
13. Which of the following might have the most powerful antibacterial effects?
A. Dogbane trees. B. Leaves of ferns.
C. Cat-thorn trees. D. East African mahogany tree roots.
14. What potential benefit does Fabien Schultz hope to achieve from the findings?
A. Identifying new human medicines. B. Developing new animal care techniques.
C. Improving chimpanzee health in the wild. D. Discovering new food sources for humans.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Diet of Wild Chimpanzees B. The Medicinal Characteristics of Plants
C. The Dietary Habits of Wild Chimpanzees D. Chimpanzees Using Plants for Self-Medication

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In China’s journey to become a manufacturing powerhouse, the spirit of craftsmanship shines. Take the engineers behind the Tiangong space station, for instance — they spent years perfecting docking parts with millimeter accuracy. High-speed rail workers test each component repeatedly until failure is virtually impossible, while deep-sea equipment designers insist on flawless welding (焊接). It is, for them, a belief and pursuit of excellence. ___16___
No wonder behind every great achievement lies the spirit of craftsmanship: focus, responsibility, commitment, and meticulousness (细致). ___17___ Machines can work with high consistency, but humans are irreplaceable in ultra-precise high-tech fields like semiconductor production, where even a tiny flaw can ruin a whole batch of chips. ___18___ In aerospace and medical devices, human judgment spots unpredictable problems that machines cannot. That is why skilled workers remain the core of innovation.
How can one develop such a mindset? ___19___ Much like a master watchmaker perfecting a watch repeatedly, modern professionals must keep refining their skills. They should treat every imperfection as a chance to improve, not a reason to stop. After all, craftsmanship is not built in a day. ___20___ Only by pursuing lifelong learning and constant self-development can they adapt to ever-advancing technology. Thus, in the world’s most advanced industries, the delicate cooperation between humans and machines will give birth to products that are safe, reliable and truly world-class, fully demonstrating the enduring power of craftsmanship.
A. With such skills and care, progress continues.
B. These are things that machines cannot replace.
C. Instead, it grows through small, steady improvements.
D. This is not the only case where human expertise matters.
E. It represents a mindset of accuracy, patience, and dedication.
F. Such demands not only technical skill but also great patience.
G. It is fostered through persistent practice and unceasing refinement.

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。
Henry and his grandmother, Elisa Allen, had lived and worked side-by-side on their farm for many years. Diligent and practical, Henry devoted nearly all his energy to grain crops and livestock, struggling to keep the farm running well and ease the burdens of the whole family. Meanwhile, Grandma Elisa poured her spare time and inner warmth into their small garden in front of the farmhouse, with delicate purple violets (紫罗兰) as her greatest comfort amid tiresome farm labor.
Though Henry never disliked his grandmother’s violets, he rarely paid attention to the details of her gardening. Whenever she talked excitedly about pinching buds or protecting young seedlings, he would nod politely yet quickly shift the conversation to farm harvests. Grandma Elisa had long hoped to own several delicate earthen pots or wooden planters for her violets, and she had mentioned her small wish to Henry once or twice before. Yet his mind was always occupied with field work. Unwilling to add more pressure to the hard-working young man, Grandma Elisa never brought it up again, so she had to settle for some old cardboard boxes to hold her seedlings.
One mid-autumn morning, when a stranger passing by stopped to admire her violets and ask about her planting experience with curiosity, she was overjoyed to finally meet someone who appreciated her flowers. For the first time, someone listened carefully to her love for the garden. Overjoyed, Grandma Elisa filled her only clay pot with thriving violet seedlings and gifted them to him, patiently listing tips to help the plants take root and grow.
Later that afternoon, Henry and Grandma Elisa set out for their long-awaited dinner in town, which was a small reward for their months of busy labor. After the nice feast, their car was rolling along the road towards home when Grandma suddenly caught sight of her tender seedlings, already drooping (凋萎) badly, tossed carelessly into roadside weeds, while the empty clay pot had been taken away. All her joy faded instantly. Holding no anger toward the stranger, only grief that her sincere fondness for flowers had been disregarded, she fell silent and did not utter a single word for the rest of the trip.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Noticing Grandma’s gloomy face, Henry wondered what the matter was.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Early the next morning, Henry came back with something in his hands.

Living Fully in the Math World
Wang Hong, a reserved mathematician wearing tortoiseshell glasses, rewrote global math history recently. She became the third woman worldwide and the first Chinese woman to win the Fields Medal, widely regarded as the Nobel Prize for mathematics.
Wang spent her childhood in Guilin in the 1990s. Her parents were both schoolteachers, yet they never burdened her with academic pressure. She enjoyed reading storybooks, playing ball games and walking around Guilin’s scenic hills with her family. Even with various hobbies, math shone brightest. She finished all exercises in new textbooks before each semester and bought extra math books to solve all problems. She showed remarkable natural talent for math from an early age. At six, she solved a tricky geometry brainteaser faster than her math-teacher father. She loved math for its permanence.
In middle school, Wang set her sights on majoring in mathematics at Peking University, but later failed to get the only provincial math admission spot and entered Peking University as an earth sciences student. Encouraged by her professor, she transferred to the math department, but hesitated between analysis and algebra for long. Her father then casually said analysis was easier than algebra. Still, determined not to let others’ casual remarks shape her final decision, Wang settled on algebra as her research focus, refusing to be swayed by outside opinions.
In 2011, Wang pursued further study at France’s École Polytechnique without knowing French. She overcame language difficulties and once tried architecture for one semester, but soon returned to math research. She stopped worrying about her ability and kept learning earnestly.
Following Wang Hong’s award, a heart-warming scene circulated in news reports: her French supervisor Professor Lefèvre stood by the doorway, watching her academic sharing session lovingly, with great relief and kindness. In his high praise for Wang Hong, the professor noted that few students could remain calm in the face of setbacks as she did. By winning the 2026 Fields Medal, she has proved that constant devotion can turn mathematical dreams into reality, blazing a trail for female researchers in mathematics.
4. What can we learn about Wang Hong as a child?
A. She was the brightest girl from an early age.
B. She displayed an exceptional inborn gift for math.
C. Her outdoor hobbies prevented her from focusing on math.
D. She worked out math problems under her parents’ pressure.
5. Why did Wang finally choose algebra as her research focus?
A. A tutor suggested algebra suited her strengths.
B. Algebra was less difficult than analysis.
C. She stuck to independent judgment.
D. She had deep passion for algebra.
6. Which words best describe Wang Hong?
A. Determined and persistent. B. Outgoing and sociable.
C. Creative and modest. D. Sensitive and hesitant.
7. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A science fiction. B. Her autobiography.

Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
8. Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the author’s point.
B. To give a scientific explanation.
C. To provide historical background.
D. To present a common partial view.
9. For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site?
A. Climate benefit and natural value.
B. Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C. Geographical uniqueness and rare species.
D. Educational significance and cultural value.
10. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Addresses. B. Matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The formation of the Flow Country.
B. The recognition of the Lake District.
C. The long-overdue respect for peatlands.
D. The conservation difficulties of peatlands.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了泥炭地从过去被旅行者视为威胁的存在,到Flow Country成为首个入选世界遗产的泥炭地,其认知发生的转变;通过对比英国湖区的入选依据,阐述了Flow Country的入选不仅源于其自然价值与气候益处,更体现了人类对泥炭地乃至自然本身认知的深刻变化。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段开篇提到“Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (长期以来,旅行者们一直害怕被泥炭地吞没。)”,随后引用William Gilpin 1772 年的描述“If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of (要是他脚一滑……可能就再也没人听说过他了。)”旨在生动呈现历史上人们对泥炭地广泛存在的恐惧与负面印象 —— 这种视泥炭地为“威胁”的认知实属片面。第二段紧随其后以but进行转折,指出“now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner (如今该生态系统的形象终于迎来转变)”,形成强烈对比。因此,该处引用的主要目的在于呈现一种曾经普遍存在的片面观念。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. (联合国教科文组织已将福洛地区认定为世界遗产地 —— 这是首个入选该名录的泥炭地 —— 因其具备独特的自然特征:这里栖息着种类极为丰富的动植物。人们还认识到,这些泥炭地并非人类的敌人,而是应对气候危机的重要伙伴。福洛地区的泥炭已形成 8000 年之久,期间一直在固存碳。)”可知,Flow Country入选世界遗产的原因有两点:一是其显著的自然价值,二是其气候益处。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss ( 苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials. (与湖区不同,福洛地区优先关注的并非绵羊,而是苔藓。这种理念契合了日益兴起的“承认自然权利”运动:该运动主张将自然界重新定义为不仅仅是原材料的集合体。)” 可知,Flow Country优先关注苔藓,即自然本身的理念,与“承认自然权利、不将自然仅视为原材料集合”的运动方向是一致的。“aligns with” 在此处意为“符合、匹配”,与“matches”含义相近。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇以过去人们对泥炭地的恐惧引出话题,核心围绕Flow Country成为首个泥炭地世界遗产展开,通过对比湖区的文化导向入选依据,强调Flow Country的入选源于自然价值与气候意义,更体现了人类对泥炭地从“敌人”到“伙伴”的认知转变 —— 这意味着泥炭地终于获得了应有的重视。选项C“The long-overdue respect for peatlands (泥炭地迟来的尊重)”概括了文章核心。故选C。
D
Wild chimpanzees are recognized for eating a wide variety of plant matter, which complicates researchers’ ability to determine whether they actively look for medicinal plants to heal themselves or simply consume plants that happen to have medicinal properties.
At the Budongo Central Forest Reserve in Uganda, University of Oxford researchers studied the behaviors and health of 51 wild chimpanzees from two habituated groups. They noted a male chimpanzee with a hand injury searching for and eating fern leaves, which might have eased pain and swelling. Additionally, they observed another ill chimpanzee consuming parts of a cat-thorn tree.
The team also tested the plant species in the reserve, which they suspected were being consumed by the chimpanzees to self-medicate, for anti-inflammatory (抗炎) and antibacterial (抗菌) characteristics. The species included plants not part of the chimpanzees’ normal diet, but being consumed for their healing characteristics. The authors found 88% of the plant species had antibacterial characteristics, arresting the growth of bacteria, while 33% of them had anti- inflammatory characteristics.
Deadwood from a tree in the Dogbane family showed the strongest antibacterial activity and also had anti-inflammatory characteristics, suggesting it could be used to treat wounds, they said. Roots from the East African mahogany tree and leaves from fem were found to exhibit potential anti-inflammatory effects. The results suggested that chimpanzees looked for and ate specific plants for their medicinal effects, and the study was one of the first to document evidence of this kind, the authors said.
Team member Fabien Schultz hopes that the findings might lead to promising candidates for human medicines. “What if human lives can be saved by following the ways of our animal relatives?” he says.
12. Why is it challenging to determine if chimpanzees intentionally seek out medicinal plants?
A. Medicinal plants are rare in the forest.
B. Chimpanzees consume a wide variety of plant matter.
C. Chimpanzees hide themselves when they are sick or injured.
D. Researchers can hardly observe chimpanzees in the thick forest.
13. Which of the following might have the most powerful antibacterial effects?
A. Dogbane trees. B. Leaves of ferns.
C. Cat-thorn trees. D. East African mahogany tree roots.
14. What potential benefit does Fabien Schultz hope to achieve from the findings?
A. Identifying new human medicines. B. Developing new animal care techniques.
C. Improving chimpanzee health in the wild. D. Discovering new food sources for humans.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Diet of Wild Chimpanzees B. The Medicinal Characteristics of Plants
C. The Dietary Habits of Wild Chimpanzees D. Chimpanzees Using Plants for Self-Medication
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D

细节理解题。根据第一段“Wild chimpanzees are recognized for eating a wide variety of plant matter, which complicates researchers’ ability to determine whether they actively look for medicinal plants to heal themselves or simply consume plants that happen to have medicinal properties.(野生黑猩猩以吃各种各样的植物而闻名,这使得研究人员很难确定它们是主动寻找药用植物来治愈自己,还是只是食用碰巧有药用价值的植物)”可知,确定黑猩猩是否有意寻找药用植物具有挑战性,这是因为黑猩猩吃的植物种类广泛。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Deadwood from a tree in the Dogbane family showed the strongest antibacterial activity and also had anti- inflammatory characteristics, suggesting it could be used to treat wounds, they said. (他们说,来自Dogbane家族的枯木显示出最强的抗菌活性,也具有抗炎特性,这表明它可以用来治疗伤口)”可知,夹竹桃科枯木具有最强的抗菌特性。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Team member Fabien Schultz hopes that the findings might lead to promising candidates for human medicines.(团队成员Fabien Schultz希望这一发现可能会为人类药物带来有希望的候选药物)”可知,Fabien Schultz希望从这些发现中获得的潜在好处是确定新的人类药物。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“The results suggested that chimpanzees looked for and ate specific plants for their medicinal effects, and the study was one of the first to document evidence of this kind, the authors said.(作者说,研究结果表明,黑猩猩寻找并食用特定的植物是为了它们的药用效果,而这项研究是首次记录这类证据的研究之一)”可知,本文主要介绍了研究发现野生黑猩猩可以利用药用植物来给自己治疗,由此可知,D项“Chimpanzees Using Plants for Self-Medication (黑猩猩用植物自我治疗)”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。

【答案】
My Views on Online Learning
In the digital age, online learning has become an increasingly popular choice for students. In my opinion, it offers both advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand, online learning provides great flexibility. Students can access courses at any time and from anywhere, fitting study around their own schedules. Moreover, a vast amount of learning resources are available online, which enriches the learning experience.
On the other hand, it also has drawbacks. The lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers and classmates may lead to feelings of isolation. And without strict supervision, some students may have difficulty concentrating on their studies.
In conclusion, online learning is a double-edged sword. We should make full use of its benefits while finding ways to overcome its limitations.

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。
Henry and his grandmother, Elisa Allen, had lived and worked side-by-side on their farm for many years. Diligent and practical, Henry devoted nearly all his energy to grain crops and livestock, struggling to keep the farm running well and ease the burdens of the whole family. Meanwhile, Grandma Elisa poured her spare time and inner warmth into their small garden in front of the farmhouse, with delicate purple violets (紫罗兰) as her greatest comfort amid tiresome farm labor.
Though Henry never disliked his grandmother’s violets, he rarely paid attention to the details of her gardening. Whenever she talked excitedly about pinching buds or protecting young seedlings, he would nod politely yet quickly shift the conversation to farm harvests. Grandma Elisa had long hoped to own several delicate earthen pots or wooden planters for her violets, and she had mentioned her small wish to Henry once or twice before. Yet his mind was always occupied with field work. Unwilling to add more pressure to the hard-working young man, Grandma Elisa never brought it up again, so she had to settle for some old cardboard boxes to hold her seedlings.
One mid-autumn morning, when a stranger passing by stopped to admire her violets and ask about her planting experience with curiosity, she was overjoyed to finally meet someone who appreciated her flowers. For the first time, someone listened carefully to her love for the garden. Overjoyed, Grandma Elisa filled her only clay pot with thriving violet seedlings and gifted them to him, patiently listing tips to help the plants take root and grow.
Later that afternoon, Henry and Grandma Elisa set out for their long-awaited dinner in town, which was a small reward for their months of busy labor. After the nice feast, their car was rolling along the road towards home when Grandma suddenly caught sight of her tender seedlings, already drooping (凋萎) badly, tossed carelessly into roadside weeds, while the empty clay pot had been taken away. All her joy faded instantly. Holding no anger toward the stranger, only grief that her sincere fondness for flowers had been disregarded, she fell silent and did not utter a single word for the rest of the trip.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Noticing Grandma’s gloomy face, Henry wondered what the matter was.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Early the next morning, Henry came back with something in his hands.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Noticing Grandma’s gloomy face, Henry wondered what the matter was. After gentle inquiry, he finally learned the truth. Grandma’s carefully raised violet seedlings were abandoned and ruined by the stranger, who only took away the clay pot. Sensing her deep sorrow and disappointment, Henry felt overwhelming regret. He realized he had always focused on farm work and ignored Grandma’s small but precious love for violets. He made up his mind to compensate Grandma and fulfill her long-cherished wish.
Early the next morning, Henry came back with something in his hands. He held several exquisite wooden planters and brand-new earthen pots he had bought in town. Without delay, he helped Grandma move the violet seedlings from old cardboard boxes into these fine pots. Looking at the tidy and beautiful planters, Grandma’s eyes lit up with delight. A warm smile returned to her face. From then on, Henry began to spare time accompanying Grandma to tend the violets. He finally understood that true care lies in noticing and treasuring the little happiness of loved ones.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Henry常年忙于农场劳作,一心操劳家事,却常常忽略奶奶痴迷的紫罗兰园艺。奶奶一直渴望拥有精致花盆,却不愿给孙子施压,常年用纸箱栽种花苗。一次奶奶将悉心培育的紫罗兰赠予赏花路人,不料花苗被随意丢弃、只剩花盆被带走,满心真诚被辜负,奶奶陷入难过与失落。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由首句内容可知,第一段续写可描写Henry察觉奶奶情绪低落,询问后得知花苗被弃的真相。他满心愧疚,意识到自己长期忽视奶奶的小小心愿,决心弥补遗憾、满足奶奶的期许。
②由首句内容可知,第二段续写可描写Henry买回精致花盆,帮奶奶移栽紫罗兰。奶奶重拾笑容、满心欢喜。此后Henry主动陪伴奶奶打理花草,领悟到陪伴与珍视微小幸福才是最真挚的关爱。
2.续写线索:察觉低落→询问得知真相→心生愧疚、自我反思→决心弥补遗憾→购置精美花盆→移栽花苗、装点花圃→奶奶展露笑颜→陪伴照料花草→领悟陪伴与珍视的真谛
