② 答案详解
第一部分 阅读(21–35)
21. 答案 A。
细节题。第二段说 ASML 'knows the exact location of all 340 EUV machines it has produced, and monitors them online',并坚持 none is in China。A 把这两点合并表述,正好对应。B'秘密运了几台到中国'、C'2019年停产'、D'拒绝透露数量'都与原文相反或文中未提。回原文找 knows the location / monitors 那句即可。
22. 答案 B。
词义猜测题。末段说这项令人觊觎的技术'remains caught in the crossfire of a wider contest over AI'——字面是'陷于交叉火力之中',在此比喻'被困在美荷 AI 博弈这场更大较量中间'。B'被困于竞争势力之间的更大博弈中'正是此意的转写。A'被双方保护'读反了(crossfire 是受波及而非受保护);C'在实验室被修'、D'在国际市场公开出售'都与 caught in the crossfire 的比喻无关。
23. 答案 B。
主旨题。全文一条线:美国禁运 EUV→商务部长称或有机器流入中国→ASML 否认、荷兰抵制域外法律→专家称整机不可能但零件或已流入、中国借旧 DUV 工具提速→争端折射更深的 AI 博弈。核心就是'一场关于先进芯片机器是否流入中国的争端,及其背后的 AI 竞赛'。A'ASML 一夜暴富'、C'美国自产 EUV'、D'荷兰造船史'都是文中边角或调侃,不是主线。
24. 答案 B。
细节题。第一段说机器人在北京 E-Town 一条安静跑道上夜训,为下周的人形机器人半程马拉松做准备——'the world's first of its kind'。B 一句话收住地点与赛事。A'北京健身房 boxing'、C'上海赛车'、D'山上攀岩'都张冠李戴。
25. 答案 B。
同义改写。第三段陈静说这一转变标志着从'remote-controlled puppets'到自主的'silicon-based agents'的飞跃,即机器人从遥控木偶变成自主的'硅基智能体'。B 正是此意的改述。A'更便宜'、C'不再需要算力'、D'只能娱乐'都非原文。
26. 答案 A。
推断题。第三段说自主队按完赛时间排名,遥控队要乘 1.2 系数惩罚,明确是'a clear push toward full autonomy'——显然是为了倒逼队伍走向完全自主。A 由此推出。B'法律禁止遥控'、C'给用人操作发奖'、D'证明机器人离了人不能跑'都过度或错误。
27. 答案 C。
主旨/标题题。文章讲人形机器人在北京半马赛道上与人类跑者同场竞技、从遥控走向自主,C 最贴切。A'如何在家造机器人'、B'博尔特新纪录'(文中仅作速度参照)、D'北京禁夜训'都不是文章在讲。
28. 答案 B。
细节题。第一段明确'3.2 million children, or 6% of the school-age population, were home-schooled in 2024'。B'约 6%'正确。A 3%、C 20%、D 50% 都错。
29. 答案 C。
同义改写。第三段 Cardus 2025 报告发现,曾在家上学的美国成年人'less likely to work full-time or earn above the median wage'——更不太可能全职工作、收入也未必高于中位线。C 即此意。A'都当老板'、B'更可能出国读大学'、D'每科第一'均非文中。
30. 答案 B。
推断题。末段 Cardus 心理健康数据表明:在家上学 8 年以上的人乐观与亲密感最高,而只学 1–2 年的人焦虑最高——可见'在家上学的时长似乎影响孩子的幸福感'。B 由此推出。A'总有害'、C'公立学校更焦虑'、D'只有八年者孤独'都把数据读反或读绝对了。
31. 答案 C。
态度题。作者先说在家上学增长快,再并列呈现正反研究(成绩好/落后、乐观/焦虑),最后说多国收紧规则而美国仍宽松——通篇客观呈现两面,不站队。C'balanced and objective'最准。A 强烈反对、B 完全支持、D 毫不在意都不符。
32. 答案 B。
细节题。第一段描绘可穿戴设备'constantly tracks blood pressure, temperature and heart activity, flagging anything odd to your doctor'——持续监测体征、有异常就提醒医生。B 即此意。A'立刻取代医生'、C'只计步玩'、D'仅医院内用'都错。
33. 答案 A。
同义改写。第二段说'the real money lies in medicine'——真正的利润在医疗。A 一语道破大厂热衷医疗化的动机。B'医院不付钱'、C'法律强制'、D'医生讨厌设备'均未提及或相反。
34. 答案 B。
推断题。第三段 Whoop 因血压功能被 FDA 称为未经批准的医疗设备,Whoop 拒绝下架;六月 FDA 让步,把健康类血压测量排除在医疗设备监管之外——可见监管机构逐步接受了这类健康测量。B 由此推出。A'被勒令停售全部'、C'永久禁令'、D'承认危险'都错。
35. 答案 B。
主旨/标题题。全文讲可穿戴设备从健身追踪走向医疗整合的较量,B 最贴。A'如何在家治百病'、C'手机消失'、D'初代 Fitbit 史'都偏离或过度。
第二节 七选五(36–40)
36. 答案 A。
空在首段段首,前句说'找到毕生事业比以往更难',后句马上讲到畅销书鼓吹'发现所爱再找对口工作'。A 'So the most popular advice — follow your passion — deserves a second look' 用 So 接上句'难',再用 deserves a second look 引出对流行建议的质疑,正好开启下文。段首空看上句找承接与下句找呼应。
37. 答案 B。
空在第二段段中,前句说那些书作者是'survivorship bias(幸存者偏差)'下的特例成功者,后句说'光靠努力和热情很少能保证事业'。B 'Their inspiring stories offer little guidance to the average graduate' 用 Their stories 回指前句成功者的故事,且与后句'hard work and passion alone rarely guarantee'严丝合缝。段中空看空前空后谁呼应。
38. 答案 C。
空在第三段段中,前句说'更强的方法来自研究普通人而非赢家的顾问',后句说'他们主张先打造稀缺且有用的技能'。C 'They examine careers from the choices facing ordinary people' 用 They 接住前句 advisers,examine ... ordinary people 与段首 study ordinary people 复现,自然过渡到后文的建议。
39. 答案 D。
空在第四段段中,前句举 ATM 例子'银行反而多雇了柜员',后句说'工作者应持续适配变得更有用的技能'。D 'The example shows automation can raise demand for related human skills, not just destroy jobs' 用 The example 收住 ATM 事例,且 raise demand for ... skills 与后句 adapting toward skills 衔接。
40. 答案 E。
空在末段段尾,前句说'事业很少直线前进,AI 时代确定感稀缺'。E 'Anyone unsure how to spend their working years could do worse than keep experimenting' 用 keep experimenting 收束'事业曲折、不妨多试'的主题。多余项 F'追热爱永远是最稳的高薪之路'与全文质疑该建议的主线相反;G'学校应立即禁掉所有职业书'荒谬,放哪都违和。
第一节 完形填空(41–55)

第二节 语法填空(56–65)
56. 答案 over。
空处考查介词。hand over 为固定短语'移交','hand over the CEO role to John Ternus' 意为'把 CEO 之位移交给特努斯'。词性:介词。本题全文仅此一处考查介词,不与其它空重复。易错 down(hand down 多指'传下/留交',此处强调卸任交出,over 最准)/ to(hand to 后接人,缺 role 搭配)。
57. 答案 succeeded。
空处考查动词时态。提示词 succeed 变过去式 succeeded,'who succeeded Steve Jobs as boss in 2011' 意为'2011 年接替乔布斯出任老板'。本题用一般过去时,仅此一处考查过去动作,不与其它空重复。易错 succeeds(一般现在时,与 in 2011 时间状语不符)/ succeeding(非谓语,缺谓语)。
58. 答案 addressing。
空处考查非谓语动词。提示词 address 变现在分词 addressing,作伴随状语修饰 making visits,'addressing tariffs and Sino-US tensions' 意为'应对关税与中美紧张'。词性:现在分词(非谓语)。易错 addressed(过去分词表被动完成,此处为主动进行)/ to address(不定式,与前面 making 的并行分词结构不符)/ addresses(谓语动词,主语 he 已被 making 占用,此处须用非谓语)。
59. 答案 whether。
空处考查连词。'the question is whether ... can transform' 中 whether 引导表语从句,意为'问题在于特努斯能否……'。词性:从属连词(引导名词性从句)。易错 if(虽可引从句,但正式书面语在 be 动词后表'是否'更常用 whether)/ that(that 不表'是否',语义丢失)。
60. 答案 launched。
空处考查非谓语动词(过去分词)。提示词 launch 变过去分词 launched,作后置定语修饰 'Apple Intelligence','launched almost two years ago' 意为'约两年前推出的'。本题全文仅此一处考查过去分词,不与其它空重复。易错 launching(现在分词表主动进行,但此处强调已发生)、launch(原形,语法填空不单独考原形动词)。
61. 答案 clearly。
空处考查词性转换。提示词 clear 形容词变副词 clearly,修饰全句'显然,提拔特努斯……'。词性:副词。易错 clear(形容词不能修饰整个句子)/ clearer(比较级,无比较对象)。
62. 答案 have risen。
空处考查现在完成时完整结构。提示词 rise 须与助动词 have 连用构成 'have risen',主语 sales 为复数,助动词用 have;'have risen from $108bn to $416bn' 意为'从 1080 亿增长到 4160 亿美元'。本题完整考查 have/has done 结构,答案须同时含助动词 have 与过去分词 risen。易错 risen(仅写过去分词,缺助动词 have,无法与 since 2011 呼应)/ rose(过去式,不能与 since 连用)/ rising(现在分词,缺谓语)。
63. 答案 growth。
空处考查词性转换(动词变名词)。提示词 grow 变名词 growth,'a growth of nearly 2,000%' 意为'近 2000% 的增幅'。词性:名词。易错 grow(动词原形,语法填空不单独考原形)/ grown(过去分词,此处需名词作宾语)/ growing(现在分词)。
64. 答案 the。
空处考查冠词(无提示词,功能词)。'you don't want to be ____ CEO who follows a legend' 中 the 为定冠词,特指'追随传奇的那位 CEO',the CEO who follows a legend 是固定表达'追随传奇的人'。本题全文仅此一处考查冠词,不与其它空重复,且不考实词。易错 a(a CEO 表'某位',但后面 who 定语从句已限定特指,须用 the)/ 不填(CEO 为单数可数名词,前面必须有冠词)。
65. 答案 remarkable。
空处考查词性转换(名词变形容词)。提示词 remark 变形容词 remarkable,'remarkable big shoes to fill' 意为'难以企及的庞大 legacy(难接的班)'。词性:形容词。易错 remark(名词,不能修饰 big shoes)/ remarkably(副词,不能修饰名词短语)/ remarked(过去分词,语义不符)。
第三部分 写作(范文与解析)
第一节 应用文(邀请邮件)· 参考范文
Dear Mr. Smith,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to invite you to be the English commentator for our school's Technology Innovation Week. The event will be held in the school gymnasium from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 16 and 17. We would be honoured to have you, because your clear explanations always make science lively and easy to understand. Many students are eager to learn from a native speaker like you.

【解析】
格式上,这是一封邀请邮件,开头 I hope this email finds you well 是邮件客套起手,结尾 Yours sincerely / Li Hua 已给出,正文三段式即可:先说明来意(invite you to be the English commentator),再给时间地点(gymnasium, Nov 16–17, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.),最后讲邀请原因(your clear explanations make science lively)并期待回复(look forward to your reply)。三个要点全覆盖,词数约 80,正好在要求内。语言用 would be honoured、eager to learn、sincerely hope 这类小词把礼貌说透,不必堆难词;评语老师看的是'要点齐全 + 语气得体 + 不超词'。
第二节 读后续写 · 参考范文
With the flashlight steady in his hand, Leo took out his phone and called his mother.
She told him to keep Mrs. Hale still and cover her with a blanket, then stay calm and talk to her. Leo did as he was told. He fetched a quilt from the bedroom and laid it gently over the old lady, while Emma held her hand and hummed a song they both liked. To take her mind off the pain, Leo described the candlelit dinner he had been reading by, and Mrs. Hale let out a soft laugh. Slowly her breathing grew even, and the three of them waited together in the warm circle of light.
An hour later, when the rain faded and the lights flickered back on, Mrs. Hale was sitting up in her chair with a cup of tea.
Leo's mother had guided them through every step by phone, and Emma's parents had just arrived with a neighbour who was a doctor. "You did exactly right, son," his mother said, smiling. Mrs. Hale reached out and squeezed Leo's hand. "Thank you for not panicking," she whispered. Standing in the bright kitchen, Leo realised that growing up was not about being fearless, but about staying steady when someone needed you. That stormy night, a quiet boy learned he could be brave.
【解析一 · 续写思路】
这篇续写要接住前文埋的'线'。Para 1 给定开头 'With the flashlight steady in his hand, Leo took out his phone and called his mother' 中的 steady 与前文 'his flashlight steady' 呼应,且点出妈妈是护士这个伏笔,所以第一段就写'按妈妈指导:固定不动、盖毯子、稳住情绪、用聊天分散痛感→奶奶呼吸平稳'。Para 2 给定开头 'An hour later ... Mrs. Hale was sitting up ... with a cup of tea' 自然收成'妈妈电话指导、邻居医生赶到、奶奶道谢、Leo 悟出成长'。两段分工:第一段写'怎么稳住局面'(由慌到稳),第二段写'结果与回响'(由稳到悟)。人物性格保住:Leo 由怯到勇、Emma 乖巧、奶奶慈祥,与原文一致;基调由紧张转温暖。
【解析二 · 情节描写】
动作与意象要闭环。第一段用 took out → did as told → fetched → laid → held → hummed → described 把'打电话到安抚'推出来,节奏不散;'the warm circle of light' 与前文烛光、手电光形成意象呼应,紧张感随之落下。第二段用 guided them through every step、squeezed Leo's hand、not panicking 把前文'keep them still and warm''Don't move me' 的线收口,结尾 'growing up was not about being fearless, but about staying steady' 点题,把一次邻里急救写成有用的成长。语言不必堆难词,steady、even、bright kitchen、brave 这类小表达画面感已够;评卷老师看的,正是这种'用简单的词写出味道'的功夫。两条格式红线必须守:两段都得用给定首句开头,一个字不能改;保持原文第三人称、一般过去时;续写每段约 120 词。

第一部分 阅读(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Could a single machine decide the future of artificial intelligence? Since 2019 America has blocked exports to China of the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines that make the world's most advanced semiconductors. These devices, whose creations power the most capable AI models, are made only by ASML, a Dutch firm.
Recently America's commerce secretary claimed that one such machine may have reached China. Impossible, says ASML. The company says it knows the exact location of all 340 EUV machines it has produced, and monitors them online. None is in China, it insists, and no evidence has been provided to support the allegation.
Although no proof has been made public, some people briefed on the matter call it "unverified" yet "not unfounded". Most experts consider it highly unlikely that a whole EUV machine reached China, though related parts could have arrived through suppliers. Others note the real story may be China's clever use of older DUV tools, which its firms push to make cutting-edge chips.
The dispute reveals deeper divides. America wants tighter curbs, while the Netherlands resists laws that reach beyond its borders. For now the coveted technology remains caught in the crossfire of a wider contest over AI.
21. What does ASML say about the EUV machines it has built?
A. It knows the exact location of every machine and watches them online.
B. It has secretly shipped several EUV machines to China.
C. It stopped producing EUV machines completely in 2019.
D. It refuses to say how many machines exist at all.
22. What does the phrase "caught in the crossfire" in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. It is protected and supported by both America and the Netherlands.
B. It is trapped in the wider contest between competing powers.
C. It is carefully repaired by engineers in a laboratory.
D. It is sold openly on the international market.
23. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How ASML became the world's richest company overnight.
B. A dispute over advanced chip machines reaching China and what it means for the AI race.
C. Why America has started building its own EUV machines at home.
D. The long history of Dutch shipbuilding and trade.
B
Under cover of night, a group of unusual "runners" took to a quiet track in Beijing's E-Town for adaptive training. These were not athletes but humanoid robots, simulating the route for next week's half marathon — the world's first of its kind.
Now in its second year, the event has drawn over 100 teams, nearly five times last year's number, with close to 40% racing autonomously. In last year's race, the Tien Kung Ultra robot won in about 2 hours 40 minutes. Footage shows robots accelerating from the start and smoothly turning to chase rivals.
Rules now favour self-driving systems. Autonomous teams are ranked by finish time, while remote-controlled teams face a 1.2 coefficient penalty — a clear push toward full autonomy. Chen Jing of a strategy institute says this marks a leap from "remote-controlled puppets" to autonomous "silicon-based agents", as robots learn to handle warehouses, disasters and factories.
Long-distance running tests a robot's endurance, balance and energy use. Some teams predict finish times near those of elite human runners. On the eve of the race, Unitree announced its H1 robot hit about 10 metres per second — close to Usain Bolt's peak — signalling rapid gains in power and control.
24. Where did the robots train and what event were they preparing for?
A. In a Beijing gym, for a boxing match.
B. On a quiet track in Beijing's E-Town, for a humanoid robot half marathon.
C. In Shanghai, for a car-racing contest.
D. On a mountain, for a climbing competition.
25. What change does Chen Jing describe in the robots?
A. They have become cheaper to produce than ever before.
B. They moved from remote-controlled to autonomous "silicon-based agents".
C. They no longer need any computing power at all.
D. They can now only be used for stage entertainment.
26. What can we infer about the 1.2 coefficient penalty for remote-controlled teams?
A. It is meant to encourage teams to develop full autonomy.
B. It shows remote control has been forbidden by law.
C. It is a reward given to teams that use human operators.
D. It proves robots cannot run without people's help.
27. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Build a Robot at Home
B. Usain Bolt's New Sprint Record
C. Humanoid Robots Race Alongside Humans in a Half Marathon
D. Why Beijing Has Banned Night Training
C
Home-schooling has long been linked with oddball parents and shaky teaching. But it is growing swiftly. In America 3.2 million children, or 6% of the school-age population, were home-schooled in 2024 — more than double the 2019 figure.
Today home-schooling families look much like the rest of the population. It is rising fastest among families of colour, many worried about discrimination and insensitive curriculums. Most families "mix" types of education: about half of home-schooled children are taught that way for only one to three years.
Studies give a mixed picture. Some research by home-schooling advocates finds these children outperform peers, but other studies that weigh family background tell a different story. A 2025 Cardus report found that American adults who had been home-schooled were less likely to work full-time or earn above the median wage. A 2014 survey found home-schoolers aged 12 and up were two to three times more likely to report falling behind grade level, and a 2020 review found they did well on verbal tests but lagged in maths.
Mental-health data also vary. The Cardus report found those taught at home for eight years or more reported the highest optimism and closest bonds, while those taught for one to two years reported the most anxiety. Many countries now tighten rules: Britain set up a national register of children not in school, and France restricted home-schooling to exceptional cases. In almost all American states, though, guardians may still educate at home with few requirements.
28. What percentage of America's school-age children were home-schooled in 2024?
A. About 3%.
B. About 6%.
C. Over 20%.
D. Nearly 50%.
29. What did the 2025 Cardus research suggest about grown-up home-schoolers?
A. They all became company bosses.
B. They were more likely to attend university abroad.
C. They were less likely to work full-time or earn above the median wage.
D. They scored highest in every school subject.
30. What can we infer from the Cardus mental-health findings?
A. Home-schooling always harms children's mental health.
B. The length of home-schooling seems to affect a child's well-being.
C. Public schools cause more anxiety than home-schooling does.
D. Only eight-year home-schoolers feel lonely in life.
31. What is the author's attitude toward home-schooling?
A. Strongly opposed to the practice.
B. Fully supportive without any doubt.
C. Balanced and objective, showing both sides.
D. Totally uninterested in the topic.
D
The $44 billion wearable industry is racing to weave its devices into health care. Picture a tiny sensor in your arm that constantly tracks blood pressure, temperature and heart activity, flagging anything odd to your doctor. That is the future companies like Apple, Google, Samsung and Oura are building toward.
The appeal is clear: catching illness early and sparing patients trips to hospital. But the real money lies in medicine. As wearables grow more reliable, hospitals begin to trust the data. Whoop, a subscription band, won loyalty from athletes with its recovery scores; Apple and Google pull data from many products to give smarter advice.
Not everything is smooth. Parsing the flood of data needs sophisticated AI, and privacy worries are weighty. Last year Whoop released a feature estimating daily blood pressure; the FDA called it an unapproved medical device. Whoop refused to remove it, arguing the band only helps users understand their bodies, not diagnose illness. In June the FDA backed down, exempting wellness blood-pressure measures — a win for the industry.
Full health-care integration is still slow. "The medical industry moves very, very slowly," one analyst notes. Yet the direction is set: a small screen on your wrist may one day hold a large part of your medical future.
32. What is the main function of the wearable devices described?
A. They replace doctors completely and at once.
B. They track health signs and alert doctors to problems.
C. They only count steps for fun with no real use.
D. They are used only inside hospitals by nurses.
33. Why are big tech firms eager to integrate wearables with health care?
A. Because health care is where the real profit lies.
B. Because hospitals pay them almost nothing.
C. Because it is required by law in every country.
D. Because doctors dislike the devices on principle.
34. What can we infer from the Whoop-FDA case?
A. Whoop was ordered to stop selling all of its devices.
B. Regulators gradually accepted wellness health measures.
C. The FDA banned all blood-pressure features forever.
D. Whoop admitted its device was dangerous to users.
35. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Cure Every Disease at Home
B. The Wearables Battle Moving Into Health Care
C. Why Smartphones Are Disappearing Fast
D. The History of the First Fitbit Tracker

Why "Follow Your Passion" May Mislead You
Leaving college for the job market has never been easy. Today AI is automating entry-level roles, and 40% of recent graduates work in jobs that do not need a degree. Finding your life's work feels harder than ever. ____(36)____
Many best-selling books tell young people to discover what they love and then find a matching job. But the authors of those books are often exceptional successes shaped by survivorship bias. ____(37)____ Hard work and passion alone rarely guarantee a career.
A stronger approach comes from advisers who study ordinary people, not winners. ____(38)____ They argue that instead of chasing a passion you may not have, you should build rare and valuable skills that help others; passion can grow later.
Technology keeps redrawing the map. When ATMs appeared, banks hired more clerks, not fewer, because lower costs meant more branches. ____(39)____ Workers should keep adapting toward skills that grow more useful as machines change.
In the end, careers rarely run in a straight line. Famous figures tried many things before their calling — and in an age of AI, certainty is rare. ____(40)____
A. So the most popular advice — "follow your passion" — deserves a second look.
B. Their inspiring stories offer little guidance to the average graduate.
C. They examine careers from the choices facing ordinary people.
D. The example shows automation can raise demand for related human skills, not just destroy jobs.
E. Anyone unsure how to spend their working years could do worse than keep experimenting.
F. Following your passion is always the safest path to a high salary.
G. Schools should ban all career books immediately.

"I was in ____(43)____," Zhang told the Global Times, "because it was really beyond our expectations."

Tim Cook Hands Apple Over to Its Hardware Guru
One hallmark of Tim Cook's 15-year run at Apple has been steady reliability. On April 20th the iPhone-maker announced that Mr Cook would hand ____(56)____ the CEO role to John Ternus, its head of hardware engineering. Few leadership changes are more notable, yet Apple's shares barely moved on the news.
Mr Cook, who ____(57)____ (succeed) Steve Jobs as boss in 2011, will stay on as executive chairman. He is stepping aside with the company near its peak; iPhone sales are strong and its market value has risen by over 40% to above $4 trillion in the past year. Out of necessity, he became tech's leading diplomat, making regular visits to Washington ____(58)____ (address) tariffs and Sino-US tensions.
Yet the question is ____(59)____ Mr Ternus, who joined Apple in 2001, can transform the firm for the AI age. Neither leader has risen to the challenge. Apple's much-praised "Apple Intelligence", ____(60)____ (launch) almost two years ago, has been a flop ever since.
____(61)____ (clear), the promotion of Mr Ternus and a powerful new role for the chip chief show the company believes doubling down on hardware is the best way forward. Hardware breakthroughs reshaped computing, music and phones — but all under Jobs's watch.
As for Mr Cook, he can step aside with pride. Since 2011 Apple's annual sales ____(62)____ (rise) from $108bn to $416bn, and its share price saw a ____(63)____ (grow) of nearly 2,000%. He has proved wrong the saying that you don't want to be ____(64)____ CEO who follows a legend. That gives Mr Ternus ____(65)____ (remark) big shoes to fill.

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。
The storm had knocked out the power an hour earlier, and fourteen-year-old Leo was reading by the light of a candle when a small figure appeared at the door. It was Emma, the little girl from next door, soaked and shivering. "Leo, please come — Grandma fell in the dark and she won't get up," she cried.
Leo grabbed his flashlight and ran across the street. In the Hales' living room, Mrs. Hale lay on the floor, one hand pressed to her hip, breathing thinly. "Don't move me, dear," she whispered. "I think my old leg has given way." Emma knelt and held her grandmother's hand, fighting back tears. Leo remembered his mother, a nurse, saying that if someone might have broken a bone, you should keep them still and warm until help comes.
Paragraph 1:
With the flashlight steady in his hand, Leo took out his phone and called his mother.
Paragraph 2:
An hour later, when the rain faded and the lights flickered back on, Mrs. Hale was sitting up in her chair with a cup of tea.
