JOIN A JOURNEY TOWARD THE NATIONAL DAY OF CONNECTION

When my wife and I heard a strange noise from our laundry (洗衣) room, we knew that our old washing machine had cycled its last load. The washing machine had lasted three decades, long enough to wash my daughter’s baby clothes and her husband’s jeans many years later. We had gotten our money’s worth from an appliance we’d purchased when we were newly married, and I couldn’t complain when it finally gave out.
Waiting for the store to bring a replacement, I glanced at the old washing machine. Before the kids grew up and left home, we probably averaged four loads a week. In the winter of 2000, we sometimes ran the washing machine with nothing in it. Our newborn son, restless at midnight, found the gentle sound of the turning drum (滚筒) a gentle song.
In those cold, dark hours, the laundry room seemed like the gently beating heart of our house. Juice and milk often flew over the family dinner table back then. Our youngsters muddied pants and dresses as they ran quickly around the grass, their knees and arms still marked by the yard’s wild embrace when they came back inside. Our washing machine, always full, greeted us each day warmly.
Now, our daughter and son are grown and living far away. Our washing machine is quieter these days, but when our children return for visits, we once again do their laundry. The simple chore is a reminder that, in washing and folding their clothes, we’ll always be ready with a warm welcome.
As the washing machine works, I realize the circularity of my life, its predictable cycles perhaps seen most ideally as a source of discovery rather than boredom. I told myself so as I opened our new washing machine and put in its first load.
4. What do we know about the old washing machine?
A. It broke down as expected. B. It was good value for money.
C. It was intended for children. D. It witnessed a good marriage.
5. Why did the author run the washing machine with nothing inside?
A. To help a baby sleep. B. To warm the room.
C. To do a self-clean cycle. D. To test the machine.
6. What does the author mean by comparing the laundry room to a beating heart?
A. It was a gathering spot. B. It worked non-stop.
C. It was the busiest place. D. It stored family memories.
7. What does the author realize about the laundry work?
A. It is repetitive. B. It is a sign of growth.
C. It is demanding. D. It is a reminder of love.
C
The summer afternoon was hot, but no one in the queue seemed bothered. Dozens were patiently waiting to enter Shakespeare and Company, a storied bookshop located on the left bank of the Seine opposite Notre Dame cathedral.
Launched by George Whitman, 75 years ago, Shakespeare and Company is probably the most famous bookshop in the world, enjoying a reputation for its closeness to some of literature’s masters. Around 2,000-3,000 people visit each day, nearly 1 million a year.
How does a bookshop withstand three-quarters of a century and still get people to queue to enter? One answer is a clever approach to social media. Photos and videos are prohibited inside. This enhances the shop’s mysterious appeal among those who kill time on Instagram and TikTok. “You can’t see what it looks like online, so that’s kind of cool,” says Hannah, a literature student from England who had come to take in “the older, memory-rich atmosphere” for herself.
But probably the biggest explanation for the shop’s success is how it has embraced the myths surrounding it. Shakespeare and Company is like a Russian doll, containing several brands inside. First, its name reminds people of the most famous writer in the English language. Second, there is the shop that preceded it, which had the same name. That one was founded by Sylvia Beach in 1919. She was likeable enough to count superstars, including Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot, as friends. Beach’s bookstore closed afterwards, and legend has it that she later gave Whitman permission to adopt her shop’s name.
Yet Shakespeare and Company’s playbook is impossible to copy. Its history and location in central Paris are unbeatable. In its own way, Shakespeare and Company also deals with the benefit and challenge of tourism. “We’ve always been trying to get a balance between being a popular visit site for people passing through the city and yet trying to keep our connections more local,” says Sylvia Whitman, who runs the English-language bookshop.
8. What is the bookshop well-known for?
A. Its unique location. B. Its diverse storybooks.
C. Its literary connection. D. Its long-standing history.
9. What can we learn from Hannah’s words?
A. She values the shop’s mystery.
B. She loves posting photos of the shop.
C. The shop is accessible to Internet users.
D. The shop is old-fashioned for young people.
10. Which best explains the underlined word “preceded” in paragraph 4?
A. Competed against. B. Took over. C. Came before. D. Went with.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An unforgettable story. B. A success that can’t be copied.
C. A great literature master. D. A wonder that can’t be explained.
D
Overconfidence is common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true. Yet most of us might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs.
Tenelle Porter, an educational psychologist, conducted a series of studies with high-school students. She began by asking 103 of them to rate themselves on statements such as “I am willing to admit it when I don’t know something,” “I acknowledge when someone knows more than me about a subject,” and “I try to reflect on my weaknesses in order to develop my intelligence.” She then measured what education psychologists refer to as “mastery behaviors” — skills that students can use to master what they are learning.
The study found that students who could see that their beliefs might be wrong were much more likely to use strategies to test their knowledge while studying. These students would quiz themselves, check whether they really understood the material, and seek out potential holes in their understanding. In contrast, students who did not see that their knowledge could be flawed (有缺陷的) might simply sail through their studies. Such students, Porter found, can fall into a “knowledge illusion (错觉).”
The good news is that there is a “vaccine” for overconfidence: recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. Galileo, for instance, dared to question the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe. He suffered for it, but his change of mind opened up a “new” universe for research.
Porter cautions against trying to do this every single time you make a decision. Instead, she recommends practicing it when you are thinking about whether something is correct or making some really important decisions. This might prove most beneficial when you feel really strongly about something. Ask yourself: “Am I certain I am right about this?” If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
12. What did Porter ask students to do first in the study?
A. Take intelligence tests.
B. Reflect on their learning methods.
C. Find out their weaknesses.
D. Assess their own confidence levels.
13. Which students are more likely to have a “knowledge illusion”?
A. Those quizzing themselves.
B. Those with poor memories.
C. Those unaware of knowledge holes.
D. Those checking study materials.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Galileo in Paragraph 4?
A. The value of questioning.
B. The courage of great scientists.
C. The danger of overconfidence.
D. The hardship of scientific research.
15. What is Porter’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your own steps. B. Hold back your strong feelings.
C. Believe in your thought. D. Examine yourself at proper times.

The thought of summer brings to mind the memorable childhood vacations. The school’s closure for two delicious months was something we eagerly anticipated, which meant putting away the uniforms and bags. ____16____ The sleep-wake hours and meal timings that were carried out regularly got disturbed.
____17____ Then we were given some discipline to schedule the vacation in the best way possible. We would write a timetable that would last a maximum period of a week, or till we had visitors, whichever came first! TVs, air coolers, and refrigerators were unheard of. Strict upbringing kept us from staying up late and we couldn’t sleep till late in the morning due to the unbearable heat. Playing outdoors was the only pastime. We would look at the clouds and predict if it would rain. ____18____
Mango pickles (泡菜) were a must in summer and the entire family contributed. I used to clean and dry the mangoes. ____19____ Mum’s rule was that the pickle should be tried only after the first monsoon (季风) shower. Mum prepared two varieties: spicy and sweet. Her sweet mango pickle with just the right balance of sweetness, sourness, and spiciness was something to die for!
Earthen pots were used to store drinking water. How refreshing it was to drink the cool water on hot summer days! And the popsicles (冰棍). One shout by the popsicle man would have children in the street rushing to him. ____20____
A. Sometimes a short shower would boost our spirits.
B. I loved the process and couldn’t wait to have a taste.
C. Mum would only allow this for the first week or two.
D. We would select the flavour and enjoy every bit of it.

This family vacation to Flagstaff made no sense. To start with, I wasn’t even with my family! I’d been second-guessing myself: I’d driven two and a half hours for what? What I was doing here?
I planned to spend the day exploring downtown, with a full bottle of water in my backpack. For one thing, my son had recommended a place which made the best pizza, and I wanted to check it out for lunch. I headed downtown on foot and stopped at the railroad crossing to watch a train thunder through. I was a family man. As much as I liked the outdoors and appreciated its activities alone, I liked a busy household too, with friends and family coming and going. It felt strange to be on my own with no responsibilities to anyone.
As the train roared past, I noticed an old man standing across the way. From his disheveled (衣衫褴褛的) appearance, I could see he was in need. I ought to give him a little money, I thought. Surely, he was hungry.
When I moved to approach him, the man shouted something I couldn’t understand. He wasn’t speaking to me or anyone else I could see. I thought it safer not to engage him and moved on. I continued into town and found the restaurant.
But this place only sold whole pizzas, which would have been fine if my family were with me. Once again, I wondered why I had come to Flagstaff at all.
Someone suggested another restaurant across the street. I walked over there and ordered two slices. The pizza was good enough to lift my spirits. As I finished my second slice, a server brought two more. “For free,” she said. “One slice we served you just now was much too small.” I explained I was full, but she packed them neatly in a box that fit my backpack.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

I opened my backpack and put it inside.

When my wife and I heard a strange noise from our laundry (洗衣) room, we knew that our old washing machine had cycled its last load. The washing machine had lasted three decades, long enough to wash my daughter’s baby clothes and her husband’s jeans many years later. We had gotten our money’s worth from an appliance we’d purchased when we were newly married, and I couldn’t complain when it finally gave out.
Waiting for the store to bring a replacement, I glanced at the old washing machine. Before the kids grew up and left home, we probably averaged four loads a week. In the winter of 2000, we sometimes ran the washing machine with nothing in it. Our newborn son, restless at midnight, found the gentle sound of the turning drum (滚筒) a gentle song.
In those cold, dark hours, the laundry room seemed like the gently beating heart of our house. Juice and milk often flew over the family dinner table back then. Our youngsters muddied pants and dresses as they ran quickly around the grass, their knees and arms still marked by the yard’s wild embrace when they came back inside. Our washing machine, always full, greeted us each day warmly.
Now, our daughter and son are grown and living far away. Our washing machine is quieter these days, but when our children return for visits, we once again do their laundry. The simple chore is a reminder that, in washing and folding their clothes, we’ll always be ready with a warm welcome.
As the washing machine works, I realize the circularity of my life, its predictable cycles perhaps seen most ideally as a source of discovery rather than boredom. I told myself so as I opened our new washing machine and put in its first load.
4. What do we know about the old washing machine?
A. It broke down as expected. B. It was good value for money.
C. It was intended for children. D. It witnessed a good marriage.
5. Why did the author run the washing machine with nothing inside?
A. To help a baby sleep. B. To warm the room.
C. To do a self-clean cycle. D. To test the machine.
6. What does the author mean by comparing the laundry room to a beating heart?
A. It was a gathering spot. B. It worked non-stop.
C. It was the busiest place. D. It stored family memories.
7. What does the author realize about the laundry work?
A. It is repetitive. B. It is a sign of growth.
C. It is demanding. D. It is a reminder of love.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The washing machine had lasted three decades, long enough to wash my daughter’s baby clothes and her husband’s jeans many years later. We had gotten our money’s worth from an appliance we’d purchased when we were newly married, and I couldn’t complain when it finally gave out.(这台洗衣机用了三十年,足够久到洗过我女儿的婴儿衣物,多年后又洗过她丈夫的牛仔裤。我们新婚时买的这台电器,早已物超所值,当它最终坏掉时,我毫无怨言。)”可知,这台旧洗衣机已经使用了三十年,物有所值。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our newborn son, restless at midnight, found the gentle sound of the turning drum (滚筒) a gentle song.(我们刚出生的儿子在午夜躁动不安,把滚筒转动的轻柔声音当作一首温柔的歌。)”可知,作者让洗衣机空转是为了帮助婴儿入睡。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In those cold, dark hours, the laundry room seemed like the gently beating heart of our house. Juice and milk often flew over the family dinner table back then. Our youngsters muddied pants and dresses as they ran quickly around the grass, their knees and arms still marked by the yard’s wild embrace when they came back inside. Our washing machine, always full, greeted us each day warmly.(在那些寒冷黑暗的时刻,洗衣房就像我们家轻轻跳动的心脏。那时果汁和牛奶常常飞溅在家庭餐桌上。我们的孩子在草地上快速奔跑,弄脏了裤子和裙子,回到屋里时膝盖和手臂上还留着院子热烈拥抱的痕迹。我们的洗衣机总是满满的,每天温暖地迎接我们。)”可知,作者把洗衣房比作跳动的心脏,是因为那里承载着一家人生活的点点滴滴,储存着家庭记忆。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第四段中“Now, our daughter and son are grown and living far away. Our washing machine is quieter these days, but when our children return for visits, we once again do their laundry. The simple chore is a reminder that, in washing and folding their clothes, we’ll always be ready with a warm welcome.(如今,我们的女儿和儿子都已长大,住在远方。这些日子,我们的洗衣机安静了许多,但当孩子们回来探望时,我们又会为他们洗衣服。这件简单的家务提醒我们,在洗涤和折叠他们的衣物时,我们永远会准备好温暖的欢迎。)”和最后一段中“As the washing machine works, I realize the circularity of my life, its predictable cycles perhaps seen most ideally as a source of discovery rather than boredom. I told myself so as I opened our new washing machine and put in its first load.(当洗衣机运转时,我意识到自己生活的循环往复,它那可预测的周期,或许最理想的是被视为发现的源泉,而非无聊的重复。我一边这样告诉自己,一边打开新洗衣机,放入第一缸衣物。)”可知,文章通过旧洗衣机坏掉引出对往昔家庭生活的回忆,再到孩子们长大离家后仍为他们洗衣,最终落脚于洗衣所承载的爱与温暖。因此,作者对洗衣工作的感悟是:它是一种爱的提醒。

The summer afternoon was hot, but no one in the queue seemed bothered. Dozens were patiently waiting to enter Shakespeare and Company, a storied bookshop located on the left bank of the Seine opposite Notre Dame cathedral.
Launched by George Whitman, 75 years ago, Shakespeare and Company is probably the most famous bookshop in the world, enjoying a reputation for its closeness to some of literature’s masters. Around 2,000-3,000 people visit each day, nearly 1 million a year.
How does a bookshop withstand three-quarters of a century and still get people to queue to enter? One answer is a clever approach to social media. Photos and videos are prohibited inside. This enhances the shop’s mysterious appeal among those who kill time on Instagram and TikTok. “You can’t see what it looks like online, so that’s kind of cool,” says Hannah, a literature student from England who had come to take in “the older, memory-rich atmosphere” for herself.
But probably the biggest explanation for the shop’s success is how it has embraced the myths surrounding it. Shakespeare and Company is like a Russian doll, containing several brands inside. First, its name reminds people of the most famous writer in the English language. Second, there is the shop that preceded it, which had the same name. That one was founded by Sylvia Beach in 1919. She was likeable enough to count superstars, including Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot, as friends. Beach’s bookstore closed afterwards, and legend has it that she later gave Whitman permission to adopt her shop’s name.
Yet Shakespeare and Company’s playbook is impossible to copy. Its history and location in central Paris are unbeatable. In its own way, Shakespeare and Company also deals with the benefit and challenge of tourism. “We’ve always been trying to get a balance between being a popular visit site for people passing through the city and yet trying to keep our connections more local,” says Sylvia Whitman, who runs the English-language bookshop.
8. What is the bookshop well-known for?
A. Its unique location. B. Its diverse storybooks.
C. Its literary connection. D. Its long-standing history.
9. What can we learn from Hannah’s words?
A. She values the shop’s mystery.
B. She loves posting photos of the shop.
C. The shop is accessible to Internet users.
D. The shop is old-fashioned for young people.
10. Which best explains the underlined word “preceded” in paragraph 4?
A. Competed against. B. Took over. C. Came before. D. Went with.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An unforgettable story. B. A success that can’t be copied.
C. A great literature master. D. A wonder that can’t be explained.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了巴黎左岸著名的莎士比亚书店。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Shakespeare and Company is probably the most famous bookshop in the world, enjoying a reputation for its closeness to some of literature’s masters.(莎士比亚书店大概是全球最富盛名的书店,因与多位文学大师渊源深厚而享有极高声誉。)”可知,这家书店因文学渊源而著名。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““You can’t see what it looks like online, so that’s kind of cool,” says Hannah, a literature student from England who had come to take in “the older, memory-rich atmosphere” for herself.( “你在网上看不到它里面是什么样子,这一点还挺酷的。” 来自英国的文学专业学生汉娜说道。她专程前来,亲身感受这里“古老、充满岁月回忆的氛围”)”可推知,从Hannah的话我们可以得知她看重书店的神秘感。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“That one was founded by Sylvia Beach in 1919. She was likeable enough to count superstars, including Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot, as friends. Beach’s bookstore closed afterwards, and legend has it that she later gave Whitman permission to adopt her shop’s name.(那家书店由西尔维娅・毕奇于1919年创立。她人缘极好,将欧内斯特・海明威、T.S.艾略特等文坛巨星视作挚友。毕奇的书店后来停业了,据传,她之后允许惠特曼沿用她书店的名字。)”可知,George Whitman的这家书店之前,还有一家同名书店,1919年就创立了。由此可知,preceded意为“在……之前存在,先于”。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Yet Shakespeare and Company’s playbook is impossible to copy. Its history and location in central Paris are unbeatable.(然而莎士比亚书店这套成功模式是无法复制的。它的历史底蕴以及地处巴黎市中心的地理位置,都是无可匹敌的。)”可知,全文讲述莎士比亚书店的巨大成功,结尾点明这套成功模式无法复制。

Overconfidence is common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true. Yet most of us might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs.
Tenelle Porter, an educational psychologist, conducted a series of studies with high-school students. She began by asking 103 of them to rate themselves on statements such as “I am willing to admit it when I don’t know something,” “I acknowledge when someone knows more than me about a subject,” and “I try to reflect on my weaknesses in order to develop my intelligence.” She then measured what education psychologists refer to as “mastery behaviors” — skills that students can use to master what they are learning.
The study found that students who could see that their beliefs might be wrong were much more likely to use strategies to test their knowledge while studying. These students would quiz themselves, check whether they really understood the material, and seek out potential holes in their understanding. In contrast, students who did not see that their knowledge could be flawed (有缺陷的) might simply sail through their studies. Such students, Porter found, can fall into a “knowledge illusion (错觉).”
The good news is that there is a “vaccine” for overconfidence: recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. Galileo, for instance, dared to question the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe. He suffered for it, but his change of mind opened up a “new” universe for research.
Porter cautions against trying to do this every single time you make a decision. Instead, she recommends practicing it when you are thinking about whether something is correct or making some really important decisions. This might prove most beneficial when you feel really strongly about something. Ask yourself: “Am I certain I am right about this?” If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
12. What did Porter ask students to do first in the study?
A. Take intelligence tests.
B. Reflect on their learning methods.
C. Find out their weaknesses.
D. Assess their own confidence levels.
13. Which students are more likely to have a “knowledge illusion”?
A. Those quizzing themselves.
B. Those with poor memories.
C. Those unaware of knowledge holes.
D. Those checking study materials.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Galileo in Paragraph 4?
A. The value of questioning.
B. The courage of great scientists.
C. The danger of overconfidence.
D. The hardship of scientific research.
15. What is Porter’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your own steps. B. Hold back your strong feelings.
C. Believe in your thought. D. Examine yourself at proper times.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了认识到自身信念可能出错,是克服过度自信、提升学习与认知效果的关键。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She began by asking 103 of them to rate themselves on statements such as “I am willing to admit it when I don’t know something,” “I acknowledge when someone knows more than me about a subject,” and “I try to reflect on my weaknesses in order to develop my intelligence.”(研究一开始,她让其中103名学生根据若干描述进行自评,例如:“当我不懂某事时,我愿意承认”、“在某一学科上,如果有人比我懂得更多,我会予以认可” 以及 “我努力反思自身的弱点,以此提升自己的认知能力”。)”可知,在这项研究中,Porter首先要求学生评估自身自信水平。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In contrast, students who did not see that their knowledge could be flawed (有缺陷的) might simply sail through their studies. Such students, Porter found, can fall into a “knowledge illusion (错觉).”(相比之下,那些没有意识到自己所学知识可能存在缺陷的学生,学习时可能只是草草过一遍内容。波特发现,这类学生会陷入一种“知识错觉”。)”可知,没有察觉到知识漏洞的学生,更容易陷入“知识错觉”。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The good news is that there is a 'vaccine' for overconfidence: recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. Galileo, for instance, dared to question the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe.(好消息是,应对过度自信存在一剂 “良方”:认识到你的观点有可能是错误的。例如,伽利略敢于质疑“地球是宇宙的中心”这一观念。)”可知,作者举伽利略的例子,是为了论证敢于质疑固有信念的价值。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Porter cautions against trying to do this every single time you make a decision. Instead, she recommends practicing it when you are thinking about whether something is correct or making some really important decisions.(波特告诫人们,不要每次做决定都这样质疑自己。相反,她建议,当你判断一件事是否正确,或是做一些非常重大的决定时,可以练习这种做法。)”可知,Porter 建议在合适的时机自我检视。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The thought of summer brings to mind the memorable childhood vacations. The school’s closure for two delicious months was something we eagerly anticipated, which meant putting away the uniforms and bags. ____16____ The sleep-wake hours and meal timings that were carried out regularly got disturbed.
____17____ Then we were given some discipline to schedule the vacation in the best way possible. We would write a timetable that would last a maximum period of a week, or till we had visitors, whichever came first! TVs, air coolers, and refrigerators were unheard of. Strict upbringing kept us from staying up late and we couldn’t sleep till late in the morning due to the unbearable heat. Playing outdoors was the only pastime. We would look at the clouds and predict if it would rain. ____18____
Mango pickles (泡菜) were a must in summer and the entire family contributed. I used to clean and dry the mangoes. ____19____ Mum’s rule was that the pickle should be tried only after the first monsoon (季风) shower. Mum prepared two varieties: spicy and sweet. Her sweet mango pickle with just the right balance of sweetness, sourness, and spiciness was something to die for!
Earthen pots were used to store drinking water. How refreshing it was to drink the cool water on hot summer days! And the popsicles (冰棍). One shout by the popsicle man would have children in the street rushing to him. ____20____
A. Sometimes a short shower would boost our spirits.
B. I loved the process and couldn’t wait to have a taste.
C. Mum would only allow this for the first week or two.
D. We would select the flavour and enjoy every bit of it.
E. Our daily routine slipped slowly and unconsciously into lazy mode.
F. We wished “Happy Holidays” to our teachers and friends on the last day.
G. The afternoon hours meant staying indoors and attending academic activities.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文回忆了作者童年时充满烟火气的夏日假期日常。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The school’s closure for two delicious months was something we eagerly anticipated, which meant putting away the uniforms and bags.(学校将要关闭,迎来整整两个月美好的假期,这是我们热切期盼的事,意味着可以把校服和书包收起来了。)”和下文“The sleep-wake hours and meal timings that were carried out regularly got disturbed.(原本规律执行的作息和用餐时间全都被打乱了。)”可知,上文提到假期开启的状态,下文提到作息被打乱,E选项“我们的日常作息不知不觉滑入了慵懒模式”指出放假之后生活节奏变懒散,才引出后文作息被打乱,符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The sleep-wake hours and meal timings that were carried out regularly got disturbed.(原本规律的作息与用餐时间被打乱了。)”和下文“Then we were given some discipline to schedule the vacation in the best way possible.(我们被要求制定一些计划来安排时间。以便尽可能好地安排假期。)”可知,先允许短暂放松,然后就要制定计划,前后是时间先后逻辑。C选项“妈妈只允许我们这样(慵懒放松)持续一两周。”符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据上文“We would look at the clouds and predict if it would rain.(我们会望着云朵,预判会不会下雨。)”可知,上文提到预测下雨,A选项“偶尔一场小雨会让我们兴致大增。”话题围绕看云、下雨,顺着前文的内容继续描写户外玩耍的情景,符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据上文“I used to clean and dry the mangoes.(我过去负责把芒果清洗干净并晾干。)”和下文“Mum’s rule was that the pickle should be tried only after the first monsoon (季风) shower.(妈妈定下规矩:要等到第一场季风雨过后,才能品尝这份泡菜。)”可知,因为作者迫不及待想品尝,才会有妈妈设置品尝限制。B选项“我很喜欢这个过程,迫不及待想尝一口” 呼应了参与制作芒果腌菜的经历,又自然引出后文妈妈定下的“延后品尝”的规则,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One shout by the popsicle man would have children in the street rushing to him.(卖冰棍的小贩一声吆喝,街上的孩子们就纷纷朝他奔过去。)”可知,上文提到孩子们跑向小贩,接下来的动作应是挑选口味、品尝冰棍。D选项“我们挑选口味,细细享用冰棍。”与上文动作连贯,符合语境。

This family vacation to Flagstaff made no sense. To start with, I wasn’t even with my family! I’d been second-guessing myself: I’d driven two and a half hours for what? What I was doing here?
I planned to spend the day exploring downtown, with a full bottle of water in my backpack. For one thing, my son had recommended a place which made the best pizza, and I wanted to check it out for lunch. I headed downtown on foot and stopped at the railroad crossing to watch a train thunder through. I was a family man. As much as I liked the outdoors and appreciated its activities alone, I liked a busy household too, with friends and family coming and going. It felt strange to be on my own with no responsibilities to anyone.
As the train roared past, I noticed an old man standing across the way. From his disheveled (衣衫褴褛的) appearance, I could see he was in need. I ought to give him a little money, I thought. Surely, he was hungry.
When I moved to approach him, the man shouted something I couldn’t understand. He wasn’t speaking to me or anyone else I could see. I thought it safer not to engage him and moved on. I continued into town and found the restaurant.
But this place only sold whole pizzas, which would have been fine if my family were with me. Once again, I wondered why I had come to Flagstaff at all.
Someone suggested another restaurant across the street. I walked over there and ordered two slices. The pizza was good enough to lift my spirits. As I finished my second slice, a server brought two more. “For free,” she said. “One slice we served you just now was much too small.” I explained I was full, but she packed them neatly in a box that fit my backpack.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I opened my backpack and put it inside. After finishing my lunch, I wandered along the street. Soon, the old man I had seen by the railway crossing came into my sight again. He was still standing there alone, looking tired and hungry. An idea flashed through my mind. I walked up to him slowly, keeping a gentle tone. “Excuse me, I’ve got some extra pizza. Would you like it?” I held out the box, hoping he would accept the food instead of money.
The old man took the box with both hands. A warm smile spread across his face and he thanked me repeatedly. He told me he hadn’t had a proper meal for the whole day. Watching him enjoy the pizza, a strong sense of satisfaction washed over me. Suddenly, the trip to Flagstaff made perfect sense. I didn’t come here just for tasty pizza. This unexpected encounter reminded me that kindness could light up a stranger’s day, and this was the real meaning of this special solo vacation.
