Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
4. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs. B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations. D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
5. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked. C. Protested. D. Wondered.
6. What might Maya learn from her submission experience?
A. Getting published isn’t hard. B. Standing your ground is a virtue.
C. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. D. You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.
7. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material. B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming. D. Dream big and dare to fail.
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food has not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
8. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
9. What was the primary aim of the microbiological evaluation?
A. To find the substances cashew nut contains. B. To analyse the changes in pH and water activity.
C. To ensure the safety of refrigerated beef. D. To check the effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
10. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time.
B. Its concentration affects the storage life.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D. It performs best at room temperature.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Fully convinced.
C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective.
D
Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation.
This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play.
FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous (自然发生的) in-game brilliance.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.
12. Why is the AI platform developed?
A. To narrow the divide. B. To maximize profits.
C. To encourage creativity. D. To gain global popularity.
13. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3?
A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language.
C. It simplifies complex data. D. It determines human judgement.
14. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Limitations of AI platforms. B. Significance of AI-based sports tech.
C. Prospect of top sports teams. D. Application of AI in football competitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Football AI Pro: A Game Controller B. FIFA World Cup: A Highly Anticipated Event
C. Football AI Pro: A Capable Assistant D. Football Match Model: A Charged Service
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?
Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.
____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.
A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting?
B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life.
C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips.
D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.
E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.
F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.
G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.

The people I’ve met ____28____ my college experience in ways nothing else can.
I’ve never been much of a ____29____. In college, I had the opportunity to tour Sweden and go on day trips to Cape Cod. I sat on the porch of the Swedish Academy and watched the morning sun ____30____ over the trees. These fond memories breathe ____31____ into my time at Harvard and will stay with me forever.
School is a place to learn, and ____32____, learning happens in the classroom at Harvard. However, learning also happens at the shelter where you ____33____. I’ve learned a lot from a love of social work.

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。
My father, Michael, led me through the little wooden house he’d filled with his paintings. “When I have an exhibition ...” he began, pointing to the artworks he’d created, before stopping. “Poor Pa,” I thought. In 1994 he got Parkinson’s Disease (帕金森氏病), which had shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties.
A husband and father to three, Pa had had a successful career running an advertising agency and had always been extremely creative. Outside of work, he’d spent 15 years fronting the cover band, Musical Chairs, which performed at the pub in Sydney’s Double Bay each week and, when I became a mother, he developed a very close bond with my daughter.
Even when his Parkinson’s advanced, my father decided he wanted to paint. “Why don’t you try classes?”my mum Louisa suggested to him. He agreed. In art lessons, the class practised painting still life objects, like pears, but my father had other ideas for his inspiration. He began producing abstract pieces, inspired by his favourite artist, Jackson Pollock, a leading abstract expressionist. “Why abstract?” I asked him. “Because,” he replied,“it helps us to see the world around us in a different way. You can look at these paintings and ask ‘what if?’”
Soon, I realized he was right. When I observed my father’s work, I could interpret each of them in many ways. Once he got started, he showed no signs of slowing down. The little house was quickly filled with more and more works.
But in 2019, Pa developed cancer and was given just three months to live. The thought of losing him was too much for any of my family to accept, but we soon received great news that a new form of treatment can help him greatly. Since he continued speaking about wanting to share his paintings with the world, I knew what had to be done.
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。
I told him I would help organize an exhibition.

Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
4. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs. B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations. D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
5. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked. C. Protested. D. Wondered.
6. What might Maya learn from her submission experience?
A. Getting published isn’t hard. B. Standing your ground is a virtue.
C. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. D. You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.
7. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material. B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming. D. Dream big and dare to fail.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B

词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name.(她父亲把她的笔记本看作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据。她母亲担心这些故事是从需要实际生活的现实中逃避出来。Maya于是complied了,白天研究电子表格,但晚上,她用一个假名写博客)”可知,Maya的父亲认为写作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据,母亲担心写作是从现实逃避出来,所以Maya顺从了他们,白天研究电子表格,晚上用假名写博客。故complied意思是“顺从”。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.(然后,一个认可的时刻到来了,尽管它也有自己的代价。一家文学杂志接受了一篇故事,但要求彻底修改,这将改变其充满希望的结局。Maya挣扎了一个星期,想拒绝。最后,她重写了它。新的结局既有爱也有距离,既有野心也有牺牲。它被发表了)”可推知,Maya从她的投稿经历中学到了为了成功,有时你必须妥协。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.” (“冲突并不是你梦想的障碍,”她会告诉他们。“这是素材。不要写童话。写下风暴。然后,写下那个学会在雨中站立的人。”)”可知,Maya给青少年的建议是把风暴变成故事。

In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food has not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
8. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
9. What was the primary aim of the microbiological evaluation?
A. To find the substances cashew nut contains. B. To analyse the changes in pH and water activity.
C. To ensure the safety of refrigerated beef. D. To check the effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
10. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time.
B. Its concentration affects the storage life.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D. It performs best at room temperature.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Fully convinced.
C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A

Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation.
This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play.
FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous (自然发生的) in-game brilliance.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.
12. Why is the AI platform developed?
A. To narrow the divide. B. To maximize profits.
C. To encourage creativity. D. To gain global popularity.
13. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3?
A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language.
C. It simplifies complex data. D. It determines human judgement.
14. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Limitations of AI platforms. B. Significance of AI-based sports tech.
C. Prospect of top sports teams. D. Application of AI in football competitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Football AI Pro: A Game Controller B. FIFA World Cup: A Highly Anticipated Event
C. Football AI Pro: A Capable Assistant D. Football Match Model: A Charged Service
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.(展望未来,2026年世界杯充当一份全球范本,展示人工智能如何让顶级体育运动变得更加公平。数十年来,尖端体育技术一直是专供资金雄厚的顶级联赛与富裕国家队享用的奢侈品。本届赛事证明,智能数据工具能够被广泛共享,让天赋——而非财力——来决定哪些球队能在这项全球规模最大的足球赛事中晋级。)”指出2026年世界杯的意义,随后对比过去尖端体育技术只为资金雄厚队伍服务的现状。由此可推断,本段意在说明这项AI体育技术带来的价值与重要意义。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章先提出足球领域存在技术资源不均衡的问题,再引出Football AI Pro这一AI平台,介绍它的功能、使用限制,随后在第四段点明核心定位。第四段中的“FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity.(国际足联创新团队强调,人工智能只充当助手,绝不会取代人类的技能、判断力与创造力。)”是主旨句,后文进一步阐释AI能够处理海量比赛数据,却无法复刻教练直觉、球员临场灵感,结尾又阐述该平台带来的公平意义。由此可知,全文围绕Football AI Pro展开,着重突出它作为辅助工具的角色。选项C表示“Football AI Pro:一位得力助手”,与本文主旨相吻合,适合用作本文的标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?
Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.
____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.
A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting?
B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life.
C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips.
D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.
E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.
F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.
G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. A

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。
My father, Michael, led me through the little wooden house he’d filled with his paintings. “When I have an exhibition ...” he began, pointing to the artworks he’d created, before stopping. “Poor Pa,” I thought. In 1994 he got Parkinson’s Disease (帕金森氏病), which had shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties.
A husband and father to three, Pa had had a successful career running an advertising agency and had always been extremely creative. Outside of work, he’d spent 15 years fronting the cover band, Musical Chairs, which performed at the pub in Sydney’s Double Bay each week and, when I became a mother, he developed a very close bond with my daughter.
Even when his Parkinson’s advanced, my father decided he wanted to paint. “Why don’t you try classes?”my mum Louisa suggested to him. He agreed. In art lessons, the class practised painting still life objects, like pears, but my father had other ideas for his inspiration. He began producing abstract pieces, inspired by his favourite artist, Jackson Pollock, a leading abstract expressionist. “Why abstract?” I asked him. “Because,” he replied,“it helps us to see the world around us in a different way. You can look at these paintings and ask ‘what if?’”
Soon, I realized he was right. When I observed my father’s work, I could interpret each of them in many ways. Once he got started, he showed no signs of slowing down. The little house was quickly filled with more and more works.
But in 2019, Pa developed cancer and was given just three months to live. The thought of losing him was too much for any of my family to accept, but we soon received great news that a new form of treatment can help him greatly. Since he continued speaking about wanting to share his paintings with the world, I knew what had to be done.
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。
I told him I would help organize an exhibition.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, the big day finally came.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I told him I would help organize an exhibition. Soon, I contacted the advertising agency he once worked for, explaining my father’s current situation and his long- desired dream. The people in charge agreed with pleasure, adding that my father’s creativity was deeply appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and a great idea hit upon me. Why not invite Musical Chairs? Their presence would surely bring a great comfort and a sense of belonging. After receiving a big Yes from the band, we began to select works to be exhibited and then transported them to our city museum.
A month later, the big day finally came. Accompanied by us, Dad walked into the museum. Baba smiled like a child at the crowd, with his wrinkled face lighting up. Viewers spoke highly of Dad’s paintings and shared with him how they were inspired to see the world in a different way. Dad cast a glance at me with pride and gratitude. I felt honored to be his daughter, knowing that his creativity and passion would inspire me and stay with me for the rest of my life.
