Urgent: Special Summer Driving Notice
To some, sunglasses are a fashion accessory...
But When Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life!
Many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun. Deadly accidents are regularly caused. Yet, motorists struggle on despite being blinded by the sun’s glare.
Not all sunglasses are created equal. Protecting your eyes is serious business. With all the fancy fashion frames out there, it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the most advanced technology.
Sometimes it does take a NASA rocket scientist. Some ordinary sunglasses can darken useful vision-enhancing light. But now, independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory brought forth ground-breaking technology to help protect eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was inspired by eagles’ eyes, known for their sharp eyesight. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes®.
The only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The Trilenium® lens technology offers triple-filter (三重过滤) polarization to block 99.9% of UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection.

Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot.
This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000.
Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections.
Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time.
But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties (机能) fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family?
4. What is a robot’s main practical advantage in elder care?
A. Its lower long-term cost. B. Its guarantee of total safety.
C. Its ability to show friendship. D. Its simple setup and operation.
5. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ease. B. Cause. C. Ignore. D. Discover.
6. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4?
A. The urgent need to replace human care. B. The potential of AI in showing empathy.
C. The general weakness of human caregivers. D. The importance of human emotional interaction.
7. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A. Angry and intolerant. B. Reflective and concerned.
C. Indifferent and dismissive. D. Sympathetic and confused.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述人口老龄化催生养老机器人需求,介绍其成本、服务优势,也反思了其可能带来的社会问题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000.(这听起来或许像科幻故事,但背后的原因很实际,主要是经济原因。雇佣人员照顾年迈亲人的费用高得令人望而却步——一名居家护工年薪高达7.5万美元,养老院费用更是远超10万美元。相比之下,据一项估算,人形机器人的成本仅为2万美元)”以及第三段“A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology.(机器人可能只需一次性投入,维护成本极低,还可通过云计算技术更新系统)”可知,养老机器人最实际的优势是长期使用成本更低。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems.(我曾接诊过一些老年患者,他们因护理疏漏流落街头或严重脱水。续航提升、可自主充电的不知疲倦的机器人能够mitigate这类问题)”可知,机器人可以减少、改善护理疏漏引发的问题,由此猜测mitigate意为“减轻、缓解”,与ease同义。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate than those of humans — a surprising but telling result.(在近期一项研究中,观察者发现人工智能给出的回应比人类更体贴、更富有同情心,这一结果出人意料却很有说服力)”可知,作者引用该研究,意在说明人工智能在共情表达方面具备潜在优势。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family?(但这会让我们身处何种境地?如果我知道奶奶有机器人照料,疲惫下班后我是否会选择不再登门探望?邻居们是否会不再照看她?当她身体机能衰退时,她是否会比起家人,更愿意信赖机器人?)”可知,作者连用多个问句,反思机器人养老带来的人际疏离问题,态度审慎且充满担忧。
C
Incredible new eco-friendly sensors, inspired by spider silk and 50 times smaller than a human hair, could be used in fields ranging from healthcare monitoring to virtual reality. Developed by University of Cambridge researchers, these sensors can be printed on biological surfaces, from a human finger to a delicate flower leaf. They are so lightweight that they can even be printed directly onto the soft seed head of a dandelion (蒲公英) without collapsing its structure. When printed on human skin, the fibre (纤维) sensors fit the skin, exposing sweat tiny holes, making them undetectable to the wearer.
Tests on human fingers suggest these sensors could serve as continuous health monitors, providing a less noticeable alternative to large wearables like smartwatches. “The connection between the device and the surface is vital for accurate sensing, ” said Prof. Yan Yan Shery Huang, who led the research. She also stressed that bioelectronics should be unnoticeable to users and environmentally sustainable. These sensors can change how we interact with the world, whether for healthcare or enhancing virtual reality experiences.
Most existing wearable sensor technologies have limitations, such as blocking air and liquids or relying on energy-and waste-intensive production techniques. Flexible electronics, for example, are often printed on plastic films that restrict gas and liquid passage. The Cambridge team’s approach solves this by using PEDOT: PSS, a suitable conducting material mixed with hyaluronic (透明质) acid and polyethylene oxide (聚乙烯氧化物). The bioelectronic fibres are created at room temperature from a water-based solution, enabling precise control over their properties.
These fibres can adapt to various shapes, from micro to macro size, without requiring image recognition. Their production is less energy-intensive, and they generate less waste compared to traditional sensors. The fibres are also repairable and can be washed away when no longer needed. Looking forward, the team plans to incorporate additional functional materials into this fibre printing method, potentially allowing for integrated fibre sensors with display, computation, and energy conversion capabilities.
8. Which is a possible application of the sensors discussed in the text?
A. Enhancing healthcare through continuous monitoring.
B. Improving virtual reality experiences via smartwatches.
C. Providing a less efficient alternative to spider silk.
D. Making large and heavy sensors for industrial use.
9. What can be one of the challenges for the sensors described?
A. Making them visible to users for easy monitoring.
B. Increasing their production speed at high temperatures.
C. Ensuring they are both functional and unnoticeable to users.
D. Balancing cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
10. How are the bioelectronic fibres created?
A. By reacting with metals to form flexible fibers.
B. By printing flexible materials onto plastic films.
C. By heating liquid mixtures in a certain container.
D. By using a chemical solution at a controlled temperature.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore the challenges and limitations of existing wearable sensors.
B. To describe the environmental impact of traditional sensor production.
C. To explain the environmental advantages of the bioelectronic sensors.
D. To introduce new eco-friendly sensors and their potential applications.

No matter how old we get, there will always be some songs that transport us back in time. We only need to hear a few notes of a tune, and we remember where we were when we first heard it, what we were doing and who we were with.
For most people the songs that remain most meaningful are those from their teens and 20s. The continued impact of these songs is due to something called the “reminiscence bump” — a tendency for people to have more vivid memories from their youth and early adulthood. During this time our brains are still developing, and we have less control over our emotions, which makes our experiences more vivid and the music we hear more intense.
That’s why, for most people, the emotional connection to music peaks during adolescence and early adulthood. In fact, a new study from Finland suggests that this peak is actually around the age of 17. Previous studies have looked at the “reminiscence bump” in Western populations, but the Finnish research team wanted to look at how it affects people globally, and if it affects men and women differently.
They studied 1,891 people from 84 countries. The participants were first asked to share their age and to name a piece of music that was important or meaningful to them. The researchers then compared the participants’ ages with the release dates of the music they named. The average peak age for personally meaningful music was 17, although there was some difference between men and women. And, for men, the peak age was around 16, while for women it was 19.
One possible explanation for this is that men tend to form their music-related memories earlier, during the resistant stage of adolescence, perhaps choosing songs that celebrate independence. Women, on the other hand, may prefer music that relates to important social and emotional connections, which take longer to develop.
12. What can be learned about “reminiscence bump” from paragraph 2?
A. It transports us to childhood. B. It generates vivid memories.
C. It intensifies youthful experiences. D. It helps recollect adolescent events.
13. What does the Finnish research team focus on?
A. Challenging existing theories and collecting new data.
B. Identifying the peak age and comparing music preference.
C. Expanding the research scope and observing gender difference.
D. Confirming previous findings and analyzing emotional intensity.
14. What can we infer about the study from paragraph 4?
A. It adopted a quantitative research method.
B. It targeted participants of different age groups.
C. It focused on the evolution of music release time.
D. It yielded findings beyond researchers’ expectations.
15. Why do men and women have different peak ages?
A. They mature at varying ages. B. They favor distinct music themes.
C. They have diverse musical talents. D. They value separate social behaviors.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍“记忆隆起”这一心理现象,即人们对青少年及成年早期的音乐记忆更加深刻,并介绍芬兰的跨国研究,发现人们对音乐的情感联结峰值约17岁,还说明了男女峰值年龄存在差异及其原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“reminiscence bump”后面的“a tendency for people to have more vivid memories from their youth and early adulthood(人们对自己青年和成年早期的记忆更为生动的一种倾向)”可知,“记忆隆起”的核心特征是使人更容易回想起青少年时期发生的相关事件。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Previous studies have looked at the “reminiscence bump” in Western populations, but the Finnish research team wanted to look at how it affects people globally, and if it affects men and women differently.(此前的研究针对西方人群研究了“记忆隆起”现象,但芬兰研究团队想要探究它对全球人群的影响,以及它对男性和女性的影响是否存在差异)”可知,该团队的研究重点是将研究范围从西方拓展至全球,同时观察该现象的性别差异。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They studied 1,891 people from 84 countries. The participants were first asked to share their age and to name a piece of music that was important or meaningful to them. The researchers then compared the participants’ ages with the release dates of the music they named.(他们研究了来自84个国家的1891名受试者。研究人员首先要求受试者告知自己的年龄,并说出一段对自己而言重要或有特殊意义的音乐。随后,研究人员将受试者的年龄与他们所提及音乐的发行日期进行了对比。)”可知,该研究选取大量受试者,采集数据并进行比对,采用的是定量研究的方式。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“One possible explanation for this is that men tend to form their music-related memories earlier, during the resistant stage of adolescence, perhaps choosing songs that celebrate independence. Women, on the other hand, may prefer music that relates to important social and emotional connections, which take longer to develop.(对此一种可能的解释是,男性往往更早形成与音乐相关的记忆,这一阶段处于青春期的叛逆期,他们或许会选择歌颂独立的歌曲。而女性则可能更喜欢与重要的社交和情感联结相关的音乐,这类情感联结需要更长时间才会建立。)”可知,男女偏好的音乐主题存在明显差异,这是二者峰值年龄不同的原因。

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。
As a new reporter at a local newspaper office, my biggest dream was to write a front-page story that could touch readers’ hearts. However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office.
He was a man of few words who never smiled at anyone. He constantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink notes all over the empty space of my papers. “Where is the core fact?” “Where is the emotion?” he would write. Those notes were harsh (严苛的), but strangely, they were also incredibly detailed, always pointing out exactly where and how a story was weak. Still, facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day, I felt so defeated that I seriously considered quitting. I was convinced that he just didn’t like me.
Then, a huge story broke. A historic building downtown, one that had stood for over a century as a symbol of our town, suddenly caught fire, and our newspaper needed an urgent headline report. Yet, right at that important moment, Mr. Henderson unexpectedly fell ill. Before going to the hospital, he walked slowly to my desk, his face pale. Without saying a word, he placed his old, thick notebook on my desk, which he always carried with him. He tapped on it, and left me in total charge of the big report.
Racing against time, I rushed to the smoke-filled scene, interviewed shocked witnesses, and gathered facts. The big fire had destroyed the roof, leaving only the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back, only three hours remained before the final deadline.
Sitting before the computer with my shaking hands, I typed anxiously. I rewrote the opening three times, deleting sentences back and forth. Each version felt lifeless. I just couldn’t find the core fact or the emotion Mr. Henderson always demanded.
The wall clock counted down to my failure. Depressed, I pulled at my hair. My heart sank as the letters seemed to laugh at my helplessness.
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。
Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook. Flipping it open with trembling fingers, I discovered it wasn’t filled with grand theories but meticulous observations: the smell of smoke mixed with old rain, the chipped paint on the doorknob, the exact shade of ash on the windowsills. Most strikingly, he had recorded a quote from the building’s caretaker years ago: “These walls remember every footstep.” Inspired, I wove these sensory details and the poignant quote into my lead. As the final seconds ticked away, I hit “Send” with a racing heart, praying the soul of the story had finally emerged from the ashes.
Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper. He placed it on my desk, folded to reveal my byline on the front page. “You found the heartbeat,” he said, his voice softer than I’d ever heard. I stared at the headline, tears blurring my vision. He tapped the margin where he once wrote harsh critiques, now replaced by a single note in his neat script: “This is where the truth lives.” In that moment, I realized his coldness had been a crucible, forging not just my skills, but my understanding of empathy in storytelling.

Urgent: Special Summer Driving Notice
To some, sunglasses are a fashion accessory...
But When Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life!
Many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun. Deadly accidents are regularly caused. Yet, motorists struggle on despite being blinded by the sun’s glare.
Not all sunglasses are created equal. Protecting your eyes is serious business. With all the fancy fashion frames out there, it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the most advanced technology.
Sometimes it does take a NASA rocket scientist. Some ordinary sunglasses can darken useful vision-enhancing light. But now, independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory brought forth ground-breaking technology to help protect eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was inspired by eagles’ eyes, known for their sharp eyesight. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes®.
The only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The Trilenium® lens technology offers triple-filter (三重过滤) polarization to block 99.9% of UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection.
The finest optics: And buy one, get one FREE! Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are not amazed by the Eagle Eyes® technology, simply return one pair within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. The other pair is yours to keep.

Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot.
This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000.
Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections.
Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time.
But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties (机能) fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family?
4. What is a robot’s main practical advantage in elder care?
A. Its lower long-term cost. B. Its guarantee of total safety.
C. Its ability to show friendship. D. Its simple setup and operation.
5. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ease. B. Cause. C. Ignore. D. Discover.
6. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4?
A. The urgent need to replace human care. B. The potential of AI in showing empathy.
C. The general weakness of human caregivers. D. The importance of human emotional interaction.
7. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A. Angry and intolerant. B. Reflective and concerned.
C. Indifferent and dismissive. D. Sympathetic and confused.
C
Incredible new eco-friendly sensors, inspired by spider silk and 50 times smaller than a human hair, could be used in fields ranging from healthcare monitoring to virtual reality. Developed by University of Cambridge researchers, these sensors can be printed on biological surfaces, from a human finger to a delicate flower leaf. They are so lightweight that they can even be printed directly onto the soft seed head of a dandelion (蒲公英) without collapsing its structure. When printed on human skin, the fibre (纤维) sensors fit the skin, exposing sweat tiny holes, making them undetectable to the wearer.
Tests on human fingers suggest these sensors could serve as continuous health monitors, providing a less noticeable alternative to large wearables like smartwatches. “The connection between the device and the surface is vital for accurate sensing, ” said Prof. Yan Yan Shery Huang, who led the research. She also stressed that bioelectronics should be unnoticeable to users and environmentally sustainable. These sensors can change how we interact with the world, whether for healthcare or enhancing virtual reality experiences.
Most existing wearable sensor technologies have limitations, such as blocking air and liquids or relying on energy-and waste-intensive production techniques. Flexible electronics, for example, are often printed on plastic films that restrict gas and liquid passage. The Cambridge team’s approach solves this by using PEDOT: PSS, a suitable conducting material mixed with hyaluronic (透明质) acid and polyethylene oxide (聚乙烯氧化物). The bioelectronic fibres are created at room temperature from a water-based solution, enabling precise control over their properties.
These fibres can adapt to various shapes, from micro to macro size, without requiring image recognition. Their production is less energy-intensive, and they generate less waste compared to traditional sensors. The fibres are also repairable and can be washed away when no longer needed. Looking forward, the team plans to incorporate additional functional materials into this fibre printing method, potentially allowing for integrated fibre sensors with display, computation, and energy conversion capabilities.
8. Which is a possible application of the sensors discussed in the text?
A. Enhancing healthcare through continuous monitoring.
B. Improving virtual reality experiences via smartwatches.
C. Providing a less efficient alternative to spider silk.
D. Making large and heavy sensors for industrial use.
9. What can be one of the challenges for the sensors described?
A. Making them visible to users for easy monitoring.
B. Increasing their production speed at high temperatures.
C. Ensuring they are both functional and unnoticeable to users.
D. Balancing cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
10. How are the bioelectronic fibres created?
A. By reacting with metals to form flexible fibers.
B. By printing flexible materials onto plastic films.
C. By heating liquid mixtures in a certain container.
D. By using a chemical solution at a controlled temperature.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore the challenges and limitations of existing wearable sensors.
B. To describe the environmental impact of traditional sensor production.
C. To explain the environmental advantages of the bioelectronic sensors.
D. To introduce new eco-friendly sensors and their potential applications.

No matter how old we get, there will always be some songs that transport us back in time. We only need to hear a few notes of a tune, and we remember where we were when we first heard it, what we were doing and who we were with.
For most people the songs that remain most meaningful are those from their teens and 20s. The continued impact of these songs is due to something called the “reminiscence bump” — a tendency for people to have more vivid memories from their youth and early adulthood. During this time our brains are still developing, and we have less control over our emotions, which makes our experiences more vivid and the music we hear more intense.
That’s why, for most people, the emotional connection to music peaks during adolescence and early adulthood. In fact, a new study from Finland suggests that this peak is actually around the age of 17. Previous studies have looked at the “reminiscence bump” in Western populations, but the Finnish research team wanted to look at how it affects people globally, and if it affects men and women differently.
They studied 1,891 people from 84 countries. The participants were first asked to share their age and to name a piece of music that was important or meaningful to them. The researchers then compared the participants’ ages with the release dates of the music they named. The average peak age for personally meaningful music was 17, although there was some difference between men and women. And, for men, the peak age was around 16, while for women it was 19.
One possible explanation for this is that men tend to form their music-related memories earlier, during the resistant stage of adolescence, perhaps choosing songs that celebrate independence. Women, on the other hand, may prefer music that relates to important social and emotional connections, which take longer to develop.
12. What can be learned about “reminiscence bump” from paragraph 2?
A. It transports us to childhood. B. It generates vivid memories.
C. It intensifies youthful experiences. D. It helps recollect adolescent events.
13. What does the Finnish research team focus on?
A. Challenging existing theories and collecting new data.
B. Identifying the peak age and comparing music preference.
C. Expanding the research scope and observing gender difference.
D. Confirming previous findings and analyzing emotional intensity.
14. What can we infer about the study from paragraph 4?
A. It adopted a quantitative research method.
B. It targeted participants of different age groups.
C. It focused on the evolution of music release time.
D. It yielded findings beyond researchers’ expectations.
15. Why do men and women have different peak ages?

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。
As a new reporter at a local newspaper office, my biggest dream was to write a front-page story that could touch readers’ hearts. However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office.
He was a man of few words who never smiled at anyone. He constantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink notes all over the empty space of my papers. “Where is the core fact?” “Where is the emotion?” he would write. Those notes were harsh (严苛的), but strangely, they were also incredibly detailed, always pointing out exactly where and how a story was weak. Still, facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day, I felt so defeated that I seriously considered quitting. I was convinced that he just didn’t like me.
Then, a huge story broke. A historic building downtown, one that had stood for over a century as a symbol of our town, suddenly caught fire, and our newspaper needed an urgent headline report. Yet, right at that important moment, Mr. Henderson unexpectedly fell ill. Before going to the hospital, he walked slowly to my desk, his face pale. Without saying a word, he placed his old, thick notebook on my desk, which he always carried with him. He tapped on it, and left me in total charge of the big report.
Racing against time, I rushed to the smoke-filled scene, interviewed shocked witnesses, and gathered facts. The big fire had destroyed the roof, leaving only the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back, only three hours remained before the final deadline.
Sitting before the computer with my shaking hands, I typed anxiously. I rewrote the opening three times, deleting sentences back and forth. Each version felt lifeless. I just couldn’t find the core fact or the emotion Mr. Henderson always demanded.
The wall clock counted down to my failure. Depressed, I pulled at my hair. My heart sank as the letters seemed to laugh at my helplessness.
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。
Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper.
