“The most important thing is to have the determination to start. Lighting a candle is better than crying over ashes,” says Husham Althahabi, who was among the five finalists to bag the prize of the 2017 Arab Hope Makers initiative, in recognition for his efforts in spreading hope through the ‘Iraqi House of Creativity’ in Baghdad.
The Iraqi humanitarian pioneer, who began his journey helping children in 1998 when he adopted two kids, decided to take action rather than be a bystander. He saw homeless orphans wandering hopelessly around the office of a humanitarian organization looking for a shelter. In 2004, he turned his house into a foster (寄养) home, which has become a safe shelter for the city’s orphans and homeless children.
Husham’s ‘Iraqi House of Creativity’ has helped raise 480 orphans (孤儿) to lead independent, productive lives. The House currently hosts 70 children. Since winning the Arab Hope Makers prize, Husham’s ambitions have grown bigger, and the lives of the children he has taken in have changed dramatically. He finally had the means to turn his dream into reality. He put his 1 million prize towards establishing a foster home in Baghdad, which is set to be an official childcare establishment for orphans, homeless children and others in need.
Today, Husham is finally living his dream. He has built a foster home since October 2020. It is an eco-friendly, integrated institute, comprising a counselling center, health club, gym, football field, study halls and a library. The home provides full-time housing for over 280 young people and offered support to more than 1,000 non-resident children every year. Children will also be able to undertake occupational training programs in a variety of areas including cooking, sewing, embroidery (刺绣) and hairdressing.
4. What can we learn from Husham’s words?
A. It is better to act than to complain.
B. The final achievement matters most.
C. Cultural creativity solves all past troubles.
D. Self-realization is the ultimate goal of efforts.
5. What motivated Husham Althahabi to turn his house into a foster home?
A. His desire to win an award. B. The encouragement from authorities.
C. His encounter with homeless children. D. The recognition he received for kindness.
6. Which word can best describe Husham?
A. Artistic. B. Sympathetic. C. Creative. D. Hardworking.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Life of an award winner.
B. Problems faced by Iraqi orphans.
C. Methods to solve social problems.
D. Husham’s shift from adopter to founder.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述伊拉克人道主义者Husham Althahabi收留孤儿,创办创意之家,获奖后继续扩建寄养机构的事迹。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The most important thing is to have the determination to start. Lighting a candle is better than crying over ashes,” says Husham Althahabi, who was among the five finalists to bag the prize of the 2017 Arab Hope Makers initiative, in recognition for his efforts in spreading hope through the ‘Iraqi House of Creativity’ in Baghdad. (“最重要的是要有开始的决心。点燃蜡烛,胜于对着灰烬哭泣。”胡沙姆・阿尔塔哈比说道。他是2017年阿拉伯希望缔造者奖五位决赛获奖者之一,因通过巴格达的“伊拉克创意之家” 传递希望而获此表彰。)”可知,这句话的含义是行动起来点燃希望,而不是一味悲伤抱怨。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He saw homeless orphans wandering hopelessly around the office of a humanitarian organization looking for a shelter. In 2004, he turned his house into a foster (寄养) home, which has become a safe shelter for the city’s orphans and homeless children. (他看到无家可归的孤儿在一家人道主义机构的办公室周围绝望游荡,寻找容身之处。2004年,他把自己的房子改成寄养之家,成为这座城市孤儿和流浪儿童的安全庇护所。)”可知,正是偶遇这些流浪孤儿,促使他把自家房屋改造成寄养之家。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The Iraqi humanitarian pioneer, who began his journey helping children in 1998 when he adopted two kids, decided to take action rather than be a bystander. (这位伊拉克人道主义先驱从1998年收养两个孩子开启帮助儿童的道路,他决定付诸行动,而不是做旁观者。)”以及第三段中“Husham’s ‘Iraqi House of Creativity’ has helped raise 480 orphans (孤儿) to lead independent, productive lives. (胡沙姆的 “伊拉克创意之家” 已经帮助480名孤儿成长,过上独立、有价值的生活。)”可知,Husham主动收养孤儿、建立庇护所,心怀悲悯,帮助苦难的儿童。sympathetic表示富有同情心的,最能描述他的品质。

主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第二段中“The Iraqi humanitarian pioneer, who began his journey helping children in 1998 when he adopted two kids, decided to take action rather than be a bystander. (这位伊拉克人道主义先驱从1998年收养两个孩子开启帮助儿童的道路,他决定付诸行动,而不是做旁观者。)”以及第三段中“He put his 1 million prize towards establishing a foster home in Baghdad, which is set to be an official childcare establishment for orphans, homeless children and others in need. (他把100万奖金投入在巴格达修建寄养之家,该机构将成为服务孤儿、流浪儿童以及其他困难人群的官方儿童看护机构。)”可知,文章讲述 Husham从收养孩子的收养人,一步步发展成为大型寄养机构创办者的经历。选项D“Husham’s shift from adopter to founder (胡沙姆从收养人到创办者的转变)”,概括了文章核心内容,适合作为文章主旨。
C
When KJ Muldoon was born, doctors discovered a genetic mistake in his DNA that prevented his liver (肝) from removing ammonia — a toxic chemical produced when the body digests proteins. This condition, which claims half of affected children, threatened KJ’s brain and organs.
Traditional treatments struggled to control his ammonia levels, and he was too young for a liver transplant. Scientists at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia proposed a brand new method: create a custom gene-editing medicine using CRISPR technology. With KJ’s life hanging in the balance, his parents agreed to the experimental treatment.
Researchers analyzed KJ’s DNA. The problem was like fixing one misspelled letter in a word that’s three billion letters long. Working around the clock, they developed a CRISPR tool for editing KJ’s DNA. After successful animal tests, the new medicine was approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in just six months — a process that normally takes decades.
KJ was six months old when he got the first small dose (剂量) of the new medicine, which was designed to reach his liver and make one tiny change to his DNA. Soon after the first treatment, KJ was able to eat protein without raising his body’s levels of ammonia. The positive results led his doctors to give KJ two more doses, which allowed him to gain weight and stabilize. Though not fully cured — he may still need future treatments or a transplant — KJ’s condition improved dramatically, leading doctors to hope for his discharge soon.
Scientists and doctors are extremely excited about the results. In just six months, the researchers and the companies they worked with were able to create a special DNA-editing medicine for a single patient. In the past, that work would have taken 10 years or longer. The project isn’t only a success for KJ. It also brings hope to millions of other people who have conditions that might be treated by similar methods.
8. What does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Stable. B. Dangerous. C. Essential. D. Reactive.
9. What is the main focus of paragraph 3?
A. Authorizing the trial treatment.
B. Dangers of KJ’s ammonia imbalance.
C. Gene-editing’s lasting impacts on people.
D. Making and testing KJ’s personalized drug.
10. How do scientists feel about the result of KJ’s treatment?
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Satisfied. D. Unclear.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. KJ’s Successful Liver Transplant Surgery B. Global Opposition to Gene-Editing Trials
C. Baby Rescued via Pioneering Gene Method D. The Failure of Traditional Treatments for KJ
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述婴儿KJ患有罕见基因疾病,传统疗法效果有限,科学家采用CRISPR基因编辑技术为他定制专属药物进行试验治疗,治疗取得明显成效,也给其他同类遗传病患者带来希望。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“When KJ Muldoon was born, doctors discovered a genetic mistake in his DNA that prevented his liver (肝) from removing ammonia — a toxic chemical produced when the body digests proteins. This condition, which claims half of affected children, threatened KJ’s brain and organs. (KJ・马尔杜恩出生时,医生在他的DNA中发现一处基因缺陷,导致他的肝脏无法清除氨 —— 一种人体消化蛋白质时产生的toxic化学物质。这种疾病会夺走一半患病儿童的生命,它威胁着KJ的大脑和各个器官。)”可知,氨是人体消化蛋白质产生的一种化学物质,这种物质会损害KJ的大脑和器官,由此可以推断,toxic表示“有毒的,危险的”。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers analyzed KJ’s DNA. The problem was like fixing one misspelled letter in a word that’s three billion letters long. Working around the clock, they developed a CRISPR tool for editing KJ’s DNA. After successful animal tests, the new medicine was approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in just six months — a process that normally takes decades. (研究人员分析了KJ的DNA。这个问题就好比在一个长达30亿个字母的单词里修改一个拼写错误的字母。他们夜以继日地工作,研发出用于编辑KJ DNA的CRISPR工具。动物实验取得成功后,这款新药仅用六个月就获得了美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)的批准,而这个过程通常需要数十年。)”可知,本段讲述研究人员分析KJ的基因,研发CRISPR工具,完成动物实验并获得批准,也就是为KJ制作、测试个性化药物。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Scientists and doctors are extremely excited about the results. (科学家和医生对这个结果感到无比振奋。)”可知,科学家和医生对治疗结果感到十分兴奋,也就是满意的。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第四段中“Though not fully cured — he may still need future treatments or a transplant — KJ’s condition improved dramatically, leading doctors to hope for his discharge soon. (虽然还没有完全治愈 —— 他未来或许仍需要接受治疗或者肝移植 —— 但KJ的状况已经大幅好转,医生们期待他可以早日出院。)”以及最后一段“It also brings hope to millions of other people who have conditions that might be treated by similar methods. (它也给数百万其他患有同类疾病、有望通过类似疗法治疗的患者带来希望。)”可知,文章讲述婴儿KJ患有罕见遗传病,传统疗法效果有限,科学家使用前沿CRISPR基因编辑技术为他定制药物,治疗取得显著效果,同时也为同类病患带来希望。C选项“Baby Rescued via Pioneering Gene Method(婴儿通过开创性的基因疗法获救)”,概括了文章核心内容,适合作为文章标题。
D
A recent study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60% of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. It shows clearly that climate change is not just a threat to our environment. It also poses a very real threat to our emotional well-being. This “heightened emotional and mental concern in response to dangerous changes in the climate system” is defined as eco-anxiety.
Eco-anxiety is a common occurrence among youth today. It also affects the most economically disadvantaged across the globe. But at the highest risk may be researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality represented by their findings.
Eco-anxiety will rise to become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. The reasons are obvious. On the one hand, climate issues seem to be getting out of control; on the other, our political class is not offering strong leadership. The COP28 conference in Dubai will be headed by an oil and gas company director.
Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will also offer an approach to the climate crisis. Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, warns that eco-anxiety should not be pathologized (病态化). According to Hickman, anyone experiencing it is displaying entirely natural reactions to the climate crisis. “Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can make people act in protection of our planet.” she suggests.
This is why we will also see more and more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil (化石) fuel industries and the governments to rapidly phase out the usage of polluting coal, oil, and gas. After all, eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy (疗法) — we will tackle it by taking action.
12. Which group face the greatest risk of eco-anxiety?
A. High school students planning careers. B. Scientists studying climate systems.
C. Farmers suffering from crop failures. D. Urban residents facing air pollution.
13. Which is a reason for the rise of eco-anxiety?
A. The worsening of climate issues.
B. The development of companies.
C. The complexity of mental problems.
D. The public’s ignorance of the risks involved.
14. What is Caroline Hickman’s main suggestion regarding eco-anxiety?
A. Treating it as a medical condition.
B. Ignoring its existence to avoid stress.
C. Seeing it as a natural push for action.
D. Prioritizing it over personal responsibility.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Therapy is an essential solution needed.
B. Action is the key to tackling eco-anxiety.
C. Public interest in climate issues will decline.
D. Fossil fuel will be banned by the government.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍生态焦虑,分析其产生原因,并提出可把生态焦虑转化为行动动力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But at the highest risk may be researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality represented by their findings. (但风险最高的可能是从事气候与生态科学研究的科研人员,他们被自己研究结果所呈现的现实压得不堪重负。)”可知,研究气候系统的科学家面临生态焦虑的风险最大。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Eco-anxiety will rise to become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. The reasons are obvious. On the one hand, climate issues seem to be getting out of control; on the other, our political class is not offering strong leadership. (生态焦虑将上升为心理健康问题的主要诱因之一。原因显而易见。一方面,气候问题似乎正逐渐失控;另一方面,政界未能给出强有力的领导。)”可知,气候问题不断恶化是生态焦虑增多的一个原因。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to Hickman, anyone experiencing it is displaying entirely natural reactions to the climate crisis. “Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can make people act in protection of our planet.” she suggests. (希克曼认为,任何有这种感受的人,都是对气候危机做出完全自然的反应。她建议:“把生态焦虑用作向善的工具——作为一种能促使人们行动起来保护地球的情绪。”)”可知,Caroline Hickman建议把生态焦虑看作推动人们采取行动的自然动力。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After all, eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy (疗法) — we will tackle it by taking action. (毕竟,生态焦虑无法依靠疗法战胜,我们要通过采取行动来解决它。)”可推断,行动是解决生态焦虑的关键。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I held onto the corner of my clothes, my palms sweating slightly as I hurried over to the toy shelf. My heart beat wildly — would “Lightning” still be there?
There, on the topshelf, was the silver-gray “Lightning” model airplane, sitting quietly. Its blue flame (火焰) patterns on the body looked almost alive, as if ready to shoot through the sky at any moment. When I gently turned the propeller (螺旋桨), it made a weak humming sound, like a real engine warming up. Every time I passed by the toy store, my feet would always stick here, as if glued to the floor.
“You’ve been standing here for five minutes,” Dad’s voice came from behind, making me jump. “This is the third time this week you’ve gotten stuck just passing by. Next time, I’ll let your brother come in with you to buy writing materials, so you won’t keep getting distracted.”
My heart sank. Chris, my older brother, hated it when I dawdled (磨蹭). He’d definitely tap his foot impatiently and rush me to leave quickly, leaving no time for me to even glance at “Lightning”.
The next day after school, Chris was indeed sent by Dad to be my “supervisor”. “Buy the notebook and then we’re leaving. Don’t go looking around aimlessly,” he warned as he handed me the change, his tone firm. But I held the money tightly in my fist, took a roundabout route to the “Lightning”. My fingertips shook slightly as they gently brushed the cold glass of the display case.
“Aren’t you being childish? You’re already in the third grade and still playing with models?” My brother’s voice suddenly popped up, making me turn around in a panic. I caught sight of him looking at me, but there was no anger in his eyes.
“It’s called Lightning,” I explained in a small voice, pointing eagerly. “Look at the sticker on the wing — it’s the supersonic (超音速) pattern they talked about in Aviation Knowledge. I know it costs over 300…our family won’t buy it…I just want to check if it’s still here.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Chris stared in the direction my finger was pointing for a while.

On Christmas morning, I found a long, thin box under the tree.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
例文
Chris stared in the direction my finger was pointing for a while. He leaned closer to the display case, looking at the price tag. “329 yuan,” he murmured, and then turned to me. “Let’s go to buy your notebook first.” His tone was softer than before. I nodded, unwillingly following him, but he didn’t rush me this time. On the way home, he asked, “That plane... does it really fly high?” I talked excitedly about its features, and he listened quietly, occasionally nodding.
On Christmas morning, I found a long, thin box under the tree. My heart raced as I tore off the wrapping paper. There it was — “Lightning”, with its silver-gray body and blue flame patterns. A note stuck to it read: “For my little aviation fan. Merry Christmas.” I ran to my brother’s room, holding the plane. He scratched his head, smiling awkwardly. “I saved my pocket money,” he said. I hugged him tightly, feeling the model’s cold metal against my cheek, warmer than anything else.
【解析】

“The most important thing is to have the determination to start. Lighting a candle is better than crying over ashes,” says Husham Althahabi, who was among the five finalists to bag the prize of the 2017 Arab Hope Makers initiative, in recognition for his efforts in spreading hope through the ‘Iraqi House of Creativity’ in Baghdad.
The Iraqi humanitarian pioneer, who began his journey helping children in 1998 when he adopted two kids, decided to take action rather than be a bystander. He saw homeless orphans wandering hopelessly around the office of a humanitarian organization looking for a shelter. In 2004, he turned his house into a foster (寄养) home, which has become a safe shelter for the city’s orphans and homeless children.
Husham’s ‘Iraqi House of Creativity’ has helped raise 480 orphans (孤儿) to lead independent, productive lives. The House currently hosts 70 children. Since winning the Arab Hope Makers prize, Husham’s ambitions have grown bigger, and the lives of the children he has taken in have changed dramatically. He finally had the means to turn his dream into reality. He put his 1 million prize towards establishing a foster home in Baghdad, which is set to be an official childcare establishment for orphans, homeless children and others in need.
Today, Husham is finally living his dream. He has built a foster home since October 2020. It is an eco-friendly, integrated institute, comprising a counselling center, health club, gym, football field, study halls and a library. The home provides full-time housing for over 280 young people and offered support to more than 1,000 non-resident children every year. Children will also be able to undertake occupational training programs in a variety of areas including cooking, sewing, embroidery (刺绣) and hairdressing.
4. What can we learn from Husham’s words?
A. It is better to act than to complain.
B. The final achievement matters most.
C. Cultural creativity solves all past troubles.
D. Self-realization is the ultimate goal of efforts.
5. What motivated Husham Althahabi to turn his house into a foster home?
A. His desire to win an award. B. The encouragement from authorities.
C. His encounter with homeless children. D. The recognition he received for kindness.
6. Which word can best describe Husham?
A. Artistic. B. Sympathetic. C. Creative. D. Hardworking.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Life of an award winner.
B. Problems faced by Iraqi orphans.
C. Methods to solve social problems.
D. Husham’s shift from adopter to founder.
C
When KJ Muldoon was born, doctors discovered a genetic mistake in his DNA that prevented his liver (肝) from removing ammonia — a toxic chemical produced when the body digests proteins. This condition, which claims half of affected children, threatened KJ’s brain and organs.
Traditional treatments struggled to control his ammonia levels, and he was too young for a liver transplant. Scientists at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia proposed a brand new method: create a custom gene-editing medicine using CRISPR technology. With KJ’s life hanging in the balance, his parents agreed to the experimental treatment.
Researchers analyzed KJ’s DNA. The problem was like fixing one misspelled letter in a word that’s three billion letters long. Working around the clock, they developed a CRISPR tool for editing KJ’s DNA. After successful animal tests, the new medicine was approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in just six months — a process that normally takes decades.
KJ was six months old when he got the first small dose (剂量) of the new medicine, which was designed to reach his liver and make one tiny change to his DNA. Soon after the first treatment, KJ was able to eat protein without raising his body’s levels of ammonia. The positive results led his doctors to give KJ two more doses, which allowed him to gain weight and stabilize. Though not fully cured — he may still need future treatments or a transplant — KJ’s condition improved dramatically, leading doctors to hope for his discharge soon.
Scientists and doctors are extremely excited about the results. In just six months, the researchers and the companies they worked with were able to create a special DNA-editing medicine for a single patient. In the past, that work would have taken 10 years or longer. The project isn’t only a success for KJ. It also brings hope to millions of other people who have conditions that might be treated by similar methods.
8. What does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Stable. B. Dangerous. C. Essential. D. Reactive.
9. What is the main focus of paragraph 3?
A. Authorizing the trial treatment.
B. Dangers of KJ’s ammonia imbalance.
C. Gene-editing’s lasting impacts on people.
D. Making and testing KJ’s personalized drug.

A recent study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60% of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. It shows clearly that climate change is not just a threat to our environment. It also poses a very real threat to our emotional well-being. This “heightened emotional and mental concern in response to dangerous changes in the climate system” is defined as eco-anxiety.
Eco-anxiety is a common occurrence among youth today. It also affects the most economically disadvantaged across the globe. But at the highest risk may be researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality represented by their findings.
Eco-anxiety will rise to become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. The reasons are obvious. On the one hand, climate issues seem to be getting out of control; on the other, our political class is not offering strong leadership. The COP28 conference in Dubai will be headed by an oil and gas company director.
Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will also offer an approach to the climate crisis. Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, warns that eco-anxiety should not be pathologized (病态化). According to Hickman, anyone experiencing it is displaying entirely natural reactions to the climate crisis. “Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can make people act in protection of our planet.” she suggests.
This is why we will also see more and more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil (化石) fuel industries and the governments to rapidly phase out the usage of polluting coal, oil, and gas. After all, eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy (疗法) — we will tackle it by taking action.
12. Which group face the greatest risk of eco-anxiety?
A. High school students planning careers. B. Scientists studying climate systems.
C. Farmers suffering from crop failures. D. Urban residents facing air pollution.
13. Which is a reason for the rise of eco-anxiety?
A. The worsening of climate issues.
B. The development of companies.
C. The complexity of mental problems.
D. The public’s ignorance of the risks involved.
14. What is Caroline Hickman’s main suggestion regarding eco-anxiety?
A. Treating it as a medical condition.
B. Ignoring its existence to avoid stress.
C. Seeing it as a natural push for action.
D. Prioritizing it over personal responsibility.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Therapy is an essential solution needed.
B. Action is the key to tackling eco-anxiety.
C. Public interest in climate issues will decline.
D. Fossil fuel will be banned by the government.

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。
I held onto the corner of my clothes, my palms sweating slightly as I hurried over to the toy shelf. My heart beat wildly — would “Lightning” still be there?
There, on the topshelf, was the silver-gray “Lightning” model airplane, sitting quietly. Its blue flame (火焰) patterns on the body looked almost alive, as if ready to shoot through the sky at any moment. When I gently turned the propeller (螺旋桨), it made a weak humming sound, like a real engine warming up. Every time I passed by the toy store, my feet would always stick here, as if glued to the floor.
“You’ve been standing here for five minutes,” Dad’s voice came from behind, making me jump. “This is the third time this week you’ve gotten stuck just passing by. Next time, I’ll let your brother come in with you to buy writing materials, so you won’t keep getting distracted.”
My heart sank. Chris, my older brother, hated it when I dawdled (磨蹭). He’d definitely tap his foot impatiently and rush me to leave quickly, leaving no time for me to even glance at “Lightning”.
The next day after school, Chris was indeed sent by Dad to be my “supervisor”. “Buy the notebook and then we’re leaving. Don’t go looking around aimlessly,” he warned as he handed me the change, his tone firm. But I held the money tightly in my fist, took a roundabout route to the “Lightning”. My fingertips shook slightly as they gently brushed the cold glass of the display case.
“Aren’t you being childish? You’re already in the third grade and still playing with models?” My brother’s voice suddenly popped up, making me turn around in a panic. I caught sight of him looking at me, but there was no anger in his eyes.
“It’s called Lightning,” I explained in a small voice, pointing eagerly. “Look at the sticker on the wing — it’s the supersonic (超音速) pattern they talked about in Aviation Knowledge. I know it costs over 300…our family won’t buy it…I just want to check if it’s still here.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Chris stared in the direction my finger was pointing for a while.
