A
A lamp that won’t light up. A jacket with a jammed zip (拉链). A bike with a tired chain. At the Maplewood Repair Café, skilled volunteers help you bring such things back to life — free of charge.
What Is a Repair Café?
Repair Cafés are free meeting places all about repairing things together. The idea was born in Amsterdam in 2009, and the movement has since grown to over 3,800 locations worldwide. We throw away vast amounts of stuff, even things with almost nothing wrong; meanwhile, knowing how to make repairs is a skill that is quickly being lost. About 70 percent of items brought in leave fixed, and every repair is logged in an international database.
How It Works
Ours is not a drop-off service. After checking in, you will be shown to the right repair station, where you stay with your item and fix it together with a volunteer coach. Tools, materials and expert guidance are all provided. Waiting for your turn? Have a coffee, go through our DIY books, or help with someone else’ s project.
When and What to Bring
Our venue is the community hall, on the first Saturday of each month, 10 am to 1 pm. Bring one item per visit — clothing, small appliances, toys, bikes or laptop software problems — plus any spare parts you need. No booking is required. Repairs cannot be promised, but good advice is guaranteed; contributions of tinned or dried groceries for the town’s charity food bank are warmly welcomed.
1. Why are Repair Cafés set up, according to the text?
A. To raise money for charity. B. To promote volunteer tourism.
C. To extend products’ lifespan. D. To teach computer skills.
2. What are visitors expected to do at the café?
A. Drop items off for fixing. B. Take a hands-on role.
C. Bring their own tool kits. D. Book a coach in advance.
3. What does the café suggest visitors bring?
A. Booking confirmation. B. Various broken items.
C. Cash for spare parts. D. Food for the needy.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍修理咖啡馆的起源、运作方式、活动时间以及参与要求。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Repair Cafés are free meeting places all about repairing things together. The idea was born in Amsterdam in 2009, and the movement has since grown to over 3,800 locations worldwide. We throw away vast amounts of stuff, even things with almost nothing wrong; meanwhile, knowing how to make repairs is a skill that is quickly being lost.(修理咖啡馆是免费的聚会场所,核心就是大家一起动手修理物品。这个理念 2009 年诞生于阿姆斯特丹,自此这项活动已经发展到全球 3800 多个站点。我们扔掉大量物品,甚至有些东西几乎没有损坏;与此同时,修理物品这项技能正在快速失传。)” 可知,设立修理咖啡馆是为了修理物品,延长物品使用寿命。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ours is not a drop-off service. After checking in, you will be shown to the right repair station, where you stay with your item and fix it together with a volunteer coach.(我们不提供送修代修服务。登记之后,你会被带到对应的修理工位,守着你的物品,和志愿者导师一起修理。)” 可知,访客需要亲身参与修理。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Repairs cannot be promised, but good advice is guaranteed; contributions of tinned or dried groceries for the town’s charity food bank are warmly welcomed.(我们不保证一定修好,但一定提供有用建议;欢迎捐赠罐头或干货食品,捐给镇上慈善食物库。)” 可知,咖啡馆建议访客可以为有需要的人带上食物。
B
After months of writing a book about trainers of wild animals, an idea struck me: my husband was trainable too. Scott was a dear man, well read and adventurous. Yet he lost things — his wallet, his watch — on a daily basis, and left his clothes wherever they fell. Every such incident led to a storm: “Have you seen my keys?” he would shout. And I would drop everything to join him in the hunt, reminding, repeating, raising my voice, with results I prefer not to discuss.
The trainers had taught me their great secret: reward what you want; ignore what you don’t. Dolphins, they said, repeat what earns them a fish. A nagging (唠叨) voice, to a dolphin, is still attention — and attention is a reward. After all, you don’t get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by nagging. The same goes for my American husband. For years I had been rewarding Scott’s mistakes. Had I known this earlier, I would have saved my breath and bought some fish.
So I began. When Scott threw one shirt into the basket, I kissed him. When he lost things again, I said nothing and watered the plants; when his socks lay on the floor, I stepped over them without a sharp word. It felt silly. But it worked wonders.
Within two months, the lost-key storms died away, the clothes piles grew smaller, and our house had never been more peaceful. I felt like the smartest wife in America.
One quiet evening Scott looked up from his newspaper. “You know what?” he said. “You’ve been different lately — in a good way. Haven’t nagged me once.”
I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. He was right. Somewhere between the kisses and the silence, I had changed more than he had.
4. What is the trainers’ “great secret”?
A. Practice nagging as a reward. B. Correct mistakes when necessary.
C. Improve performance with praise. D. Respond only to desired behavior.
5. Why did the author water the plants when Scott lost his keys?
A. To avoid feeding his mistake. B. To cool her rising anger.
C. To get the gardening done. D. To keep away from Scott.
6. What does the last paragraph suggest about the author?
A. Her training ended in failure. B. The trainer also got trained.
C. Scott changed more than her. D. She stopped caring about Scott.
7. Which words best describe the tone of the text?
A. Straightforward and light-hearted. B. Humorous and reflective.
C. Bitter and complaining. D. Serious and lecturing.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍作者从野生动物训练师那里学到了“奖励想要的行为,忽略不想要的行为”的秘诀,并将其应用在丈夫Scott身上,最终取得了意想不到的效果,同时作者也在这个过程中发生了改变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The trainers had taught me their great secret: reward what you want; ignore what you don't. (训练师教给我他们的伟大秘诀:奖励你想要的行为;忽略你不想要的行为。) ”可知,训练师的“伟大秘诀”是只对期望的行为做出回应。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When he lost things again, I said nothing and watered the plants (当他又丢了东西时,我什么也没说,只是浇花) ”以及第二段“reward what you want; ignore what you don't (奖励你想要的行为;忽略你不想要的行为)”可知,作者不再唠叨、不再回应Scott丢东西的行为,是为了不再强化(奖励)他的错误行为。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He was right. Somewhere between the kisses and the silence, I had changed more than he had. (他说得对。在亲吻与沉默之间,我比他改变得更多。) ”可知,作者在训练丈夫的过程中,自己也发生了改变,即训练者本身也被“训练”了。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,作者以幽默诙谐的笔调讲述了自己“训练”丈夫的经历,如“Had I known this earlier, I would have saved my breath and bought some fish. (如果我早知道这一点,我就会省点力气去买些鱼了。)”体现了幽默感;而结尾“I had changed more than he had(我比他改变得更多)”则体现了作者的反思。因此文章语调是幽默且富有反思的。
C
When a whale dies at sea, its body begins one last journey — down through darkening water to the ocean floor, sometimes kilometres below. What looks like an ending is in fact one of the richest beginnings in marine biology: a whale fall. A grown whale can weigh over a hundred tons, a fortune of food falling into a desert.
Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. Since then, researchers have studied dozens of falls: some were found by chance, others sunk on purpose as experiments and watched year after year.
The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow.
A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone.
8. What does the underlined word “party” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The celebration of the divers.
B. The experiment that followed.
C. The feeding of the gathered sea life.
D. The occurrence of other whale falls.
9. What can we learn about the diners at a whale fall?
A. They arrive all at once. B. They fight over the skeleton.
C. Each takes each other for food. D. Each sets the table for the next.
10. Which of the following charts best shows the change in the number of species on a whale fall over time?
A. B. C. D.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The bond whale falls create. B. New species found in museums.
C. The food whale falls offer. D. The travels between food islands.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍鲸落的发现、生物分阶段取食过程以及鲸落在深海生态中的重要作用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的 “Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. (1987年科学界首次见到这一幕,夏威夷大学团队乘坐阿尔文号潜水器,在加州附近海域发现一具鲸鱼骨架,上面遍布生物。他们判断这副骨架已经在那里躺了很多年,然而围绕骨架的这场party丝毫没有结束的迹象。)”,前文描述大量海洋生物聚集在鲸的骨架上进食,因此party指代聚集的海洋生物在此取食的这场盛宴。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. (这场盛宴分阶段进行。首先是移动食腐生物,如鲨鱼、盲鳗和鼠尾鱼,在数月到两年时间吃掉软组织。接着是小型机会主义生物:它们定居在骨骼周围富含脂肪的淤泥里。最后,细菌接管,分解骨骼内部储存的油脂,释放化学物质供养更多生物。)”可知,不同生物依次登场,前一类生物的活动为下一类生物创造生存条件。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow. (对这些被密切监测的(鲸落)点位的数量统计,用数字说明了同样的情况:物种数量在前两年迅速增长,当机会型生物迁入后数量达到峰值,随后在接下来的数十年间才慢慢减少。)”可知,曲线变化:快速上升→达到最高点→缓慢下降,对应B图。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone. (因此,鲸落远不止是一顿食物大餐。由于鲸落在广阔空旷的海床上分布得十分零散,科学家推测它们充当着垫脚石,让深海生物可以从一处食物 “岛屿” 迁徙到下一处;从鲸落处采集到的多种生物,在其他地方从未被发现过。来自这些地点的标本摆满了博物馆的陈列架,地图上标记出的每一处新鲸落,都在延伸这座(生物迁徙的)桥梁。事实证明,地球上最大的动物,在离世之后,仍在持续奉献。)”可知,本段主要讲述鲸落搭建起深海物种之间的联系纽带。
D
The word empathy was born not in a nursery, a church or a clinic, but in an art gallery When German art theorists coined Einfühlung in the 1870s — literally “feeling into” — they meant the trick by which a viewer leans, internally, into a painted shape; it was nearly forty years before psychologist Edward Titchener borrowed the term for the art of feeling one’s way into other minds. Few words have risen faster since: today empathy is expected to cure everything from playground fights to political conflicts, and to speak against it feels rather like speaking against kindness itself.,
Yet that is precisely what Paul Bloom, a psychologist at Yale, dares to do. His case rests on a distinction everyday speech slides past: where empathy means actually feeling another’s pain, compassion means wishing it relieved. and the two, brain imaging shows, light up different circuits and pull us in different directions. Empathy, Bloom argues, is a spotlight, not a floodlight: narrow and hopelessly biased towards whatever is vivid and near.
The numbers bear him out. In experiment after experiment, people moved by one identifiable victim — a named child, a photographed face — donate far more than when told of thousands, a strange gap in our moral maths that explains why a single trapped miner can seize the front page while millions starve on page nine. Worse, the spotlight burns those who hold it. Nurses who feel their patients’ pain most deeply quickly burn out; the best, research suggests, care warmly but at arm’s length
None of this licenses coldness. Bloom’s target is not kindness but one sweaty route to it: he gives empathy its due in areas where feeling can reach what reasons cannot. His call is for compassion guided by reason — caring that keeps its head when hearts are loud.
That a word born before a painting should end up on trial in the psychology journals is more than a curiosity of word history; it is a reminder that feeling alone is a poor way of deciding who to help. and that our most applauded values deserve inspection.
12. What does the author stress about empathy in paragraph 1?
A. It is rooted in German.
B. It was coined for psychology.
C. It’s overvalued beyond its original sense.
D. It has evolved more slowly than other words.
13. Why does the author contrast compassion with empathy?
A. To support the opening paragraph.
B. To clarify two confusing concepts.
C. To praise empathy over compassion.
D. To lay the foundation for an argument.
14. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. Numbers touch people more than faces.
B. Moral maths always guide us in action.
C. Emotional distance sustains nursing.
D. Nurses should care less for patients.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Celebrated Virtue On Trial.
B. A Word Born In An Art Gallery.
C. Guiding Compassion with Reason.
D. Turning From Empathy to Coldness.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍共情一词的起源,介绍学者Paul Bloom的观点,辨析共情与同情,反思共情并非万能。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The word empathy was born not in a nursery, a church or a clinic, but in an art gallery. When German art theorists coined Einfühlung in the 1870s — literally “feeling into” — they meant the trick by which a viewer leans, internally, into a painted shape; it was nearly forty years before psychologist Edward Titchener borrowed the term for the art of feeling one’s way into other minds. Few words have risen faster since: today empathy is expected to cure everything from playground fights to political conflicts, and to speak against it feels rather like speaking against kindness itself.(共情一词并非诞生于育儿室、教堂或诊所,而是诞生于美术馆。19世纪70年代德国艺术理论家创造Einfühlung一词,字面意为“投入感受”,指观者内心融入画作形象;近四十年后心理学家Titchener借用该词表示体会他人想法。很少词汇上升如此之快:如今人们指望共情解决从孩童打闹到政治冲突的各类问题,反对共情几乎等同于反对善意本身。)”可知,共情如今被寄予过高期待,其价值被高估,超出了原本含义。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“His case rests on a distinction everyday speech slides past: where empathy means actually feeling another’s pain, compassion means wishing it relieved, and the two, brain imaging shows, light up different circuits and pull us in different directions.(他的论点建立在日常用语容易忽略的一组区分之上:共情是切身感受他人痛苦,同情是希望他人痛苦得到缓解;脑部成像显示二者激活不同大脑回路,将我们引向不同方向。)”可知,作者将同情与共情对比,是为引出Bloom的观点,为后文论证铺垫。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Worse, the spotlight burns those who hold it. Nurses who feel their patients’ pain most deeply quickly burn out; the best, research suggests, care warmly but at arm’s length.(更糟的是,这束聚光灯会灼伤持有它的人。深切体会病人痛苦的护士很容易身心耗竭;研究表明,最优秀的护士心怀温暖关怀,但保持一定情感距离。)”可知,保持恰当的情感距离有助于护士持续从事护理工作。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“That a word born before a painting should end up on trial in the psychology journals is more than a curiosity of word history; it is a reminder that feeling alone is a poor way of deciding who to help. and that our most applauded values deserve inspection. (一个诞生于画作前的词语最终在心理学期刊上接受审视,这不仅是词汇史上的趣闻;它提醒我们仅凭感受决定帮助谁并不可靠,那些备受赞誉的价值观值得审视。)”可知,文章围绕共情这一广受推崇的美德展开讨论与反思,所以“A Celebrated Virtue On Trial(受审的著名美德)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
On the first day of every year, a fresh crop of books, films and songs is set free: their copyrights expire (到期), and anyone may republish or remake them without asking permission or paying a cent. ____16____ In 2024, the holiday’s guest of honor was none other than Mickey Mouse — not today’s glove-wearing version, but the skinny black-and-white mouse at the wheel of a steamboat.
Mickey’s freedom was a long time coming. In 1998, when Congress extended copyright terms by another 20 years, the law was nicknamed “The Mickey Mouse Protection Act” for Disney had pushed so hard for the extension. ____17____ The numbers proved them right: for two decades, not a single work entered the public domain, until the gates finally reopened in 2019.
____18____ Within days of Mickey’s release, a horror film and a survival video game starring the mouse were announced. Nor is this appetite new: when The Great Gatsby was freed, a zombie (僵尸) edition appeared on Amazon within forty-eight hours.
Before anyone draws mouse ears on a horror poster, however, a warning is in order. ____19____ His modern descendant — the one with gloves, shoes and a high-pitched voice — remains private property, and Disney has made clear it will guard its trademarks, which unlike copyrights, never expire. As one Harvard law professor put it, trademark law has no end.
None of this has ruined the party. Every January the list grows — Tigger, Buster Keaton’s silent comedies, and soon the earliest Superman — and every January, more of our shared culture is handed back to the people. ____20____
A. Fans call the occasion Public Domain Day.
B. Such freedom worries some lawyers and artists.
C. After all, our old stories deserve their second life.
D. Disney still earns millions from the famous mouse.
E. Only the steamboat mouse of 1928 has been set free.
F. Opponents warned the law would lock culture itself away.
G. Once free, a work belongs to everyone — and everyone has ideas.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了每年第一天到来的“公共领域日” (Public Domain Day),届时作品的版权到期,任何人都可以自由使用。文章以2024年米老鼠版权到期为例,说明了这一现象的历史背景、各方反应以及对文化传承的意义。
【16题详解】
上文“On the first day of every year, a fresh crop of books, films and songs is set free: their copyrights expire, and anyone may republish or remake them without asking permission or paying a cent. (每年第一天,新一批书籍、电影和歌曲被解禁:它们的版权到期,任何人都可以无需许可或付费地重新出版或改编它们。)”描述了每年发生的现象,A项“Fans call the occasion Public Domain Day. (粉丝们称这个日子为公共领域日。)”直接对这一现象进行命名,与上文衔接紧密,引出下文具体的例子——2024年米老鼠成为主角。
【17题详解】
上文“In 1998, when Congress extended copyright terms by another 20 years, the law was nicknamed “The Mickey Mouse Protection Act” for Disney had pushed so hard for the extension. (1998年,当国会将版权期限再延长20年时,该法律被戏称为“米老鼠保护法”,因为迪士尼大力推动了这次延期。)”提到迪士尼推动版权延期,F项“Opponents warned the law would lock culture itself away. (反对者警告该法律将把文化本身锁起来。)”中“Opponents”与迪士尼形成对立,说明反对者的担忧,与下文“The numbers proved them right: for two decades, not a single work entered the public domain (数字证明他们是对的:二十年来,没有一部作品进入公共领域)”呼应,them指代opponents。
【18题详解】
下文“Within days of Mickey's release, a horror film and a survival video game starring the mouse were announced. (米老鼠被解禁后几天内,一部恐怖电影和一款以米老鼠为主角的生存视频游戏就被宣布了。)”说明米老鼠进入公共领域后立即被各种创作者利用,G项“Once free, a work belongs to everyone — and everyone has ideas. (一旦自由,作品属于每个人——而每个人都有自己的想法。)”正好解释了为什么会有各种改编作品出现,起到承上启下的作用。
【19题详解】
上文“Before anyone draws mouse ears on a horror poster, however, a warning is in order. (然而,在任何人在恐怖海报上画米老鼠耳朵之前,有必要提出一个警告。) ”提示读者注意限制,下文“His modern descendant — the one with gloves, shoes and a high-pitched voice — remains private property (他的现代后代——那个戴着手套、穿着鞋子、声音尖细的版本——仍然是私有财产)”说明只有特定版本的米老鼠才进入公共领域,E项“Only the steamboat mouse of 1928 has been set free. (只有1928年的汽船米老鼠被解禁了。) ”明确指出了进入公共领域的具体是哪个版本,与下文“modern descendant”形成对比。
【20题详解】
上文“None of this has ruined the party. Every January the list grows — Tigger, Buster Keaton's silent comedies, and soon the earliest Superman — and every January, more of our shared culture is handed back to the people. (这一切都没有破坏这场派对。每年一月名单都在增长——跳跳虎、巴斯特·基顿的无声喜剧,很快还有最早的超人——每年一月,更多我们共享的文化被归还给人民。) ”总结了公共领域日的积极意义,C项“After all, our old stories deserve their second life. (毕竟,我们的老故事值得拥有第二次生命。) ”对上文进行总结升华,表达了对文化传承的肯定态度,作为结尾恰到好处。

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In my household, a computer with no internet qualifies as a crisis. I’m an old fossil, ____21____ with technology. I avoid self-checkouts and online banking, ____22____ any device that speaks before I do.
For years, my technical support department ____23____ my adult children. They were efficient, capable but increasingly ____24____. I suspected that when they saw my name appear on their phones, they would ____25____ and whisper, “It’s Dad again with a tech ____26____,” and let the call go unanswered. Eventually, I turned to my grandchildren, who introduced me to AI. Though grateful, I was ____27____ I would never use it.
But after three computer restarts I needed help. I tried every ____28____ I knew, even throwing a few angry words at the screen. When that ____29____, my granddaughter said, “Try AI. Ask it.”
So I did. From my iPhone, I typed out my problem: the ____30____ working on my phone and tablet, not on my laptop. Instantly it ____31____ the DNS issue and walked me through clicks and hidden menus — like a digital dance. When I grew frustrated and suggested buying a new laptop, it said ____32____, “Take a few deep breaths. We’re almost there.” Finally, we fixed the problem. But the real surprise was that the machine never once made me feel ____33____.
And in that tiny mercy, I glimpsed something larger: growing older often means being ____34____, and the generation I once guided now guides me. But somewhere between their world and mine sits a patient digital genie (精灵), ready to explain what a sidebar is — without ____35____ its eyes, even calling my question “excellent”. I’m learning to embrace the unexpected, even from a machine.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述一位不擅长科技的老人,起初靠子女处理技术问题,但子女常无暇帮忙。在孙辈建议下他借助AI修好电脑网络故障,体会到AI的耐心,并感悟到衰老易被时代抛下,数字技术可以给予自己帮助。
【21题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我是个老古董,对科技一窍不通。A. disappointed失望的;B. hopeless无能为力的;C. patient耐心的;D. satisfied满意的。根据空前的“I’m an old fossil.”可知,作者自比老古董,表明自己不擅长科技产品,对科技感到无能为力。
【22题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我避开自助结账机和网上银行,更不用说任何会先于我开口说话的智能设备了。A. not to mention更不用说;B. in spite of尽管;C. instead of而不是;D. thanks to多亏。根据空前的“I avoid self-checkouts and online banking”可知,作者本就回避基础科技服务,对于更智能的设备更是避之不及,前后为递进关系,not to mention符合本句语境。
【23题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:多年来,我的技术支持部门就是由我的成年子女组成的。A. heard from收到……的来信;B. looked after照顾;C. belonged to属于;D. consisted of由……组成。根据下文“They were efficient, capable”可知,子女就是帮作者解决技术问题的人,构成了作者的技术支持部门。
【24题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们效率高、能力强,但越来越没空。A. distant疏远的;B. unavailable没空的;C. reliable可靠的;D. supportive支持的。根据下文“Eventually, I turned to my grandchildren”推知,子女越来越抽不出时间,无法提供帮助。
【25题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:我怀疑当他们看到手机上显示我的名字时,就会紧张起来,小声嘀咕“又是爸爸来问技术危机问题了。”不接电话。A. cut off切断;B. give in屈服;C. tense up紧张起来;D. hang on稍等。根据下文“let the call go unanswered”推测,作者认为子女看到他的电话会紧张起来。
【26题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。A. crisis危机;B. jam困境;C. breakthrough突破;D. upgrade升级。根据上文首段“In my household, a computer with no internet qualifies as a crisis.”可知,作者把电脑断网这类技术问题视作危机,crisis是原词复现。
【27题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然很感激孙辈的介绍,但我确信自己永远都不会使用AI。A. delighted高兴的;B. suspicious怀疑的;C. hesitant犹豫的;D. convinced确信的。根据前的“Though grateful”的让步逻辑可知,作者虽然感谢孙辈的建议,但内心认定自己不会使用AI。
【28题详解】
考查名词。句意:我试了自己知道的所有办法,甚至还对着屏幕发了顿脾气。A. device设备;B. menu菜单;C. trick办法;D. file文件。根据空后的“even throwing a few angry words at the screen”可知,作者尝试了所有方法都没有效果,因此情绪失控对着屏幕发脾气。
【29题详解】
考查动词。句意:当那些方法都失败后,我的孙女说:“试试AI,问问它。”A. worked奏效;B. happened发生;C. mattered重要;D. failed失败。根据上文“I tried every _____ I knew, even throwing a few angry words at the screen.”推知,这些方法失败了。
【30题详解】
考查名词。句意:我的手机和平板都能正常上网,笔记本电脑却不行。A. screen屏幕;B. internet网络;C. keyboard键盘;D. panel面板。根据首段“In my household, a computer with no internet qualifies as a crisis.”可知,作者遇到的是电脑网络连接故障。
【31题详解】
考查动词。句意:它立刻就识别出了DNS问题,然后一步步指导我点击操作、找到隐藏的菜单。A. resolved解决;B. ignored忽视;C. identified识别出;D. arrested逮捕。根据空后的“and walked me through clicks and hidden menus”可知,AI是先识别出问题,再引导作者逐步操作。
【32题详解】
考查副词。句意:当我变得烦躁,提议干脆买台新笔记本时,它温和地说:“深呼吸,我们快搞定了。”A. gently温和地;B. cheerfully开心地;C. anxiously焦虑地;D. roughly粗略地。根据空后的“Take a few deep breaths. We’re almost there.”可知,AI的语气温和耐心。
【33题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但真正让我意外的是,这台机器从来没让我觉得自己很愚蠢。A. guilty愧疚的;B. foolish愚蠢的;C. empty空虚的;D. rigid僵硬的。根据首段“I’m an old fossil.”可知,作者自认对科技并不擅长,而AI全程耐心引导解决故障,没有让作者产生愚笨的感受。
【34题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:变老往往意味着被时代落下,曾经由我引导的那一代人,现在反过来引导我。A. taken over接管;B. put off推迟;C. left behind被抛在后面;D. set aside留出。根据空后的“and the generation I once guided now guides me”可知,衰老意味着跟不上时代的脚步,被抛在后面。
【35题详解】
考查动词。句意:这位数字精灵随时愿意解释侧边栏是什么,不会不耐烦地翻白眼,甚至还会说我的问题“问得好”。A. rolling滚动;B. closing闭上;C. wiping擦拭;D. shading遮蔽。根据上文“a patient digital genie”可知,AI十分耐心,不会像人一样露出不耐烦的神态;rolling是roll的V-ing形式,可构成短语roll one’s eyes,意为“翻白眼”,符合本句语境。
第二节 单句语法填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
36. The other day, a large number of drinks produced by a small local factory ________ (withdraw) from the market due to a harmful chemical found in them. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】were withdrawn
【解析】
【详解】句意:前几天,当地一家小工厂生产的大量饮料因被发现含有有害化学物质而被从市场上召回。设空处为谓语,主语“a large number of drinks”与withdraw之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;再结合时间状语“The other day”表示过去的时间,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用were,withdraw的过去分词是withdrawn。
37. Most of the local musical instruments are just sticks found on the ground, among ________ there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】句意:当地大多数乐器只是地上捡来的木棍,其中有一种奇妙的乐器叫做迪吉里杜管。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是sticks(物),介词among提前,介词后用关系代词which。
38. The price of the old flats near the station, according to official figures, ________ (dive) by twenty percent lately. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has dived
【解析】
【详解】句意:根据官方数据,车站附近老旧公寓的价格近来已经下跌了百分之二十。时间状语lately常与现在完成时连用,主语the price为单数,谓语动词用has dived。
39. For decades, the local people ________ (log) the weather by hand because there was no equipment on the island, but today an automatic station does the job instead. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】logged
【解析】
【详解】句意:几十年来,当地人因为岛上没有设备,只能手工记录天气,但如今一个自动气象站代替了这项工作。根据下文“but today an automatic station does the job instead”和“For decades”可知表示已终结的过去时段,应用一般过去时,而不能用完成时,log的过去式为logged。
40. The new digital system in the library makes the books more convenient than ever ________ (loan), and students can keep them for a whole month. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to loan
【解析】
【详解】句意:图书馆这套新的数字化系统让图书比以往借阅起来更方便,学生可以借阅整整一个月。 固定结构:主语 + make sth. + 形容词 + to do,此处用不定式主动形式表被动含义,表示“某物做起来……”。
41. In the warm valleys of the region, grapes ________ (ripe) earlier than those in the north, so the farmers who sell them fresh can always get a good price. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】ripen
【解析】
【详解】句意:在该地区温暖的山谷里,葡萄比北方的葡萄成熟得更早,所以那些卖新鲜葡萄的农民总能卖个好价钱。设空处在句中作谓语,根据下文“can always get”可知,此处应用一般现在时,主语grapes为复数名词,谓语动词应用原形,ripe的动词形式为ripen,意为“成熟”。
42. During the exchange visit to London last term, the shy boy managed to make himself ________ (understand) though he had learned English for only two years. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】understood
【解析】
【详解】句意:在上学期去伦敦的交流访问期间,这个腼腆的男孩设法让别人听懂他的话,尽管他只学了两年英语。此处为固定结构“make+宾语+宾补”结构,himself和understand是被动关系,所以此处用过去分词understood作宾补。
43. By the time doctors found the source of the illness, five villagers ________ (contract) it after drinking water from the polluted well. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had contracted
【解析】
【详解】句意:当医生找到疾病的源头时,五位村民在饮用了受污染井水后已经感染了这种疾病。“By the time doctors found the source of the illness”表示“到医生找到病源时”,主句动作发生在“found”之前,即“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时,再结合所给词contract的过去分词形式为contracted。
44. Although the heavy snow had stopped, hundreds of cars remained ________ (stick) on the highway, and the drivers could do nothing but wait in the cold. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】stuck
【解析】
【详解】句意:尽管大雪已经停了,数百辆汽车仍然被困在高速公路上,司机们只能在寒冷中等待。设空处位于remained之后,应填形容词作表语,stick的形容词形式为stuck,表示“被困住的、动不了的”。
45. More resources should _________ (channel) into rural education and public health, especially in remote areas. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】be channeled
【解析】
【详解】句意:更多的资源应该被投入到农村教育和公共卫生中,尤其是在偏远地区。主语More resources与channel(引导、投入)之间为被动关系,且空前有情态动词should,构成含有情态动词的被动语态,结构为should be + 过去分词,channel的过去分词为channeled。
46. In recent years, earthquakes in the region have increased in ________ (frequent), and scientists say the change has something to do with human activity. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】frequency
【解析】
【详解】句意:近年来,该地区地震的频率有所增加,科学家表示这种变化与人类活动有关。设空处位于介词in之后,应填名词作宾语,frequent的名词形式为frequency,表示“频率”。
47. In ancient times, silk from China found its way overland to India, the Middle East, and Rome, along ___________ became known as the Silk Road. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意:在古代,丝绸从中国经由陆路到达印度、中东和罗马,这就是著名的丝绸之路。空格处引导的是宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,此处表示“在古代,丝绸从中国经由陆路到达印度、中东和罗马,这就是著名的丝绸之路”,因此空格处用what引导宾语从句,故填what。
48. Every detail of the building, as visitors can see today, ________ (mirror) the style of the Tang Dynasty, when the city was the largest of its kind in the world. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】mirrors
【解析】
【详解】句意:正如游客今天所看到的,这座建筑的每一个细节都反映了唐朝的风格,当时这座城市是世界上同类城市中最大的。设空处作句子的谓语动词,描述客观事实应用一般现在时,主语是Every detail,谓语用第三人称单数。
49. The police posted a recent case on social media, ________ (urge) caution when strangers ask for personal information, which arrested wide attention. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】urging
【解析】
【详解】句意:警方在社交媒体发布了近期一起案件,呼吁当陌生人索要个人信息时要提高警惕,这引起了广泛关注。句子已有谓语动词 posted(一般过去时),逗号后面没有连词,所以urge只能作非谓语。逻辑主语是the police(警察),和urge(呼吁)之间是主动关系,用现在分词urging,作伴随状语。
50. The new trade agreement, as the two ministers confirmed at the recent meeting, is still ________ negotiation and will not be signed this year. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】under
【解析】
【详解】句意:正如两位部长在最近的会议上确认的那样,新的贸易协定仍在谈判中,今年不会签署。固定短语under negotiation,意为“在谈判中”,符合句意。

52. 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。
In the little village of Meadowbrook, surrounded with rolling hills, lived two curious and adventurous twins, Sarah and Sam. At the age of twelve, the inseparable twins were always seeking new adventures.
One morning, Miss Harper, their favorite community service teacher, was introducing community volunteer work. Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Sarah, ”whispered Sam, “Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today?It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village. ”
Hearing that, Sarah’s face lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagemess. “Oh, Sam, that sounds great!But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily. ”With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen, ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey, their backpacks filled with sandwiches, cookies, and bottles filled with cool, clear water from the village well. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered (散落) about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way?We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials. ”
Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village. “It’s so beautiful!”Sam burst out,” We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates!”

Miss Harper listened carefully and praised them satisfiedly. Then an idea hit her. Miss Harper gathered the class together and asked mysteriously, “Would you like to experience an adventure and at the same time bring cleanliness to the village as a volunteer?” Each student was excited with wide eyes, hands raising high, shouting, “Me! Me!”
The following weekend, the entire class started to clean up their beloved village. They happily ran up the hill with bags of garbage in their hands and competed to see whose bag could be full first. Miss Harper reminded the students to be safe from time to time. Soon they were down the hill, dragging their bags full of trash. Miss Harper praised: “You are not only little adventurers but also little guardians of the environment!”

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A lamp that won’t light up. A jacket with a jammed zip (拉链). A bike with a tired chain. At the Maplewood Repair Café, skilled volunteers help you bring such things back to life — free of charge.
What Is a Repair Café?
Repair Cafés are free meeting places all about repairing things together. The idea was born in Amsterdam in 2009, and the movement has since grown to over 3,800 locations worldwide. We throw away vast amounts of stuff, even things with almost nothing wrong; meanwhile, knowing how to make repairs is a skill that is quickly being lost. About 70 percent of items brought in leave fixed, and every repair is logged in an international database.
How It Works
Ours is not a drop-off service. After checking in, you will be shown to the right repair station, where you stay with your item and fix it together with a volunteer coach. Tools, materials and expert guidance are all provided. Waiting for your turn? Have a coffee, go through our DIY books, or help with someone else’ s project.
When and What to Bring
Our venue is the community hall, on the first Saturday of each month, 10 am to 1 pm. Bring one item per visit — clothing, small appliances, toys, bikes or laptop software problems — plus any spare parts you need. No booking is required. Repairs cannot be promised, but good advice is guaranteed; contributions of tinned or dried groceries for the town’s charity food bank are warmly welcomed.
1. Why are Repair Cafés set up, according to the text?
A. To raise money for charity. B. To promote volunteer tourism.
C. To extend products’ lifespan. D. To teach computer skills.
2. What are visitors expected to do at the café?
A. Drop items off for fixing. B. Take a hands-on role.
C. Bring their own tool kits. D. Book a coach in advance.
3. What does the café suggest visitors bring?
A. Booking confirmation. B. Various broken items.
C. Cash for spare parts. D. Food for the needy.
B
After months of writing a book about trainers of wild animals, an idea struck me: my husband was trainable too. Scott was a dear man, well read and adventurous. Yet he lost things — his wallet, his watch — on a daily basis, and left his clothes wherever they fell. Every such incident led to a storm: “Have you seen my keys?” he would shout. And I would drop everything to join him in the hunt, reminding, repeating, raising my voice, with results I prefer not to discuss.
The trainers had taught me their great secret: reward what you want; ignore what you don’t. Dolphins, they said, repeat what earns them a fish. A nagging (唠叨) voice, to a dolphin, is still attention — and attention is a reward. After all, you don’t get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by nagging. The same goes for my American husband. For years I had been rewarding Scott’s mistakes. Had I known this earlier, I would have saved my breath and bought some fish.
So I began. When Scott threw one shirt into the basket, I kissed him. When he lost things again, I said nothing and watered the plants; when his socks lay on the floor, I stepped over them without a sharp word. It felt silly. But it worked wonders.
Within two months, the lost-key storms died away, the clothes piles grew smaller, and our house had never been more peaceful. I felt like the smartest wife in America.
One quiet evening Scott looked up from his newspaper. “You know what?” he said. “You’ve been different lately — in a good way. Haven’t nagged me once.”
I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. He was right. Somewhere between the kisses and the silence, I had changed more than he had.
4. What is the trainers’ “great secret”?
A. Practice nagging as a reward. B. Correct mistakes when necessary.
C. Improve performance with praise. D. Respond only to desired behavior.
5. Why did the author water the plants when Scott lost his keys?
A. To avoid feeding his mistake. B. To cool her rising anger.
C. To get the gardening done. D. To keep away from Scott.
6. What does the last paragraph suggest about the author?
A. Her training ended in failure. B. The trainer also got trained.
C. Scott changed more than her. D. She stopped caring about Scott.
7. Which words best describe the tone of the text?
A. Straightforward and light-hearted. B. Humorous and reflective.
C. Bitter and complaining. D. Serious and lecturing.
C
When a whale dies at sea, its body begins one last journey — down through darkening water to the ocean floor, sometimes kilometres below. What looks like an ending is in fact one of the richest beginnings in marine biology: a whale fall. A grown whale can weigh over a hundred tons, a fortune of food falling into a desert.
Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. Since then, researchers have studied dozens of falls: some were found by chance, others sunk on purpose as experiments and watched year after year.
The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow.
A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone.
8. What does the underlined word “party” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The celebration of the divers.
B. The experiment that followed.
C. The feeding of the gathered sea life.
D. The occurrence of other whale falls.
9. What can we learn about the diners at a whale fall?
A. They arrive all at once. B. They fight over the skeleton.
C. Each takes each other for food. D. Each sets the table for the next.
10. Which of the following charts best shows the change in the number of species on a whale fall over time?
A. B. C. D.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The bond whale falls create. B. New species found in museums.
C. The food whale falls offer. D. The travels between food islands.
D
The word empathy was born not in a nursery, a church or a clinic, but in an art gallery When German art theorists coined Einfühlung in the 1870s — literally “feeling into” — they meant the trick by which a viewer leans, internally, into a painted shape; it was nearly forty years before psychologist Edward Titchener borrowed the term for the art of feeling one’s way into other minds. Few words have risen faster since: today empathy is expected to cure everything from playground fights to political conflicts, and to speak against it feels rather like speaking against kindness itself.,
Yet that is precisely what Paul Bloom, a psychologist at Yale, dares to do. His case rests on a distinction everyday speech slides past: where empathy means actually feeling another’s pain, compassion means wishing it relieved. and the two, brain imaging shows, light up different circuits and pull us in different directions. Empathy, Bloom argues, is a spotlight, not a floodlight: narrow and hopelessly biased towards whatever is vivid and near.
The numbers bear him out. In experiment after experiment, people moved by one identifiable victim — a named child, a photographed face — donate far more than when told of thousands, a strange gap in our moral maths that explains why a single trapped miner can seize the front page while millions starve on page nine. Worse, the spotlight burns those who hold it. Nurses who feel their patients’ pain most deeply quickly burn out; the best, research suggests, care warmly but at arm’s length
None of this licenses coldness. Bloom’s target is not kindness but one sweaty route to it: he gives empathy its due in areas where feeling can reach what reasons cannot. His call is for compassion guided by reason — caring that keeps its head when hearts are loud.
That a word born before a painting should end up on trial in the psychology journals is more than a curiosity of word history; it is a reminder that feeling alone is a poor way of deciding who to help. and that our most applauded values deserve inspection.
12. What does the author stress about empathy in paragraph 1?
A. It is rooted in German.
B. It was coined for psychology.
C. It’s overvalued beyond its original sense.
D. It has evolved more slowly than other words.
13. Why does the author contrast compassion with empathy?
A. To support the opening paragraph.
B. To clarify two confusing concepts.
C. To praise empathy over compassion.
D. To lay the foundation for an argument.
14. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. Numbers touch people more than faces.
B. Moral maths always guide us in action.
C. Emotional distance sustains nursing.
D. Nurses should care less for patients.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Celebrated Virtue On Trial.
B. A Word Born In An Art Gallery.
C. Guiding Compassion with Reason.
D. Turning From Empathy to Coldness.
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
On the first day of every year, a fresh crop of books, films and songs is set free: their copyrights expire (到期), and anyone may republish or remake them without asking permission or paying a cent. ____16____ In 2024, the holiday’s guest of honor was none other than Mickey Mouse — not today’s glove-wearing version, but the skinny black-and-white mouse at the wheel of a steamboat.
Mickey’s freedom was a long time coming. In 1998, when Congress extended copyright terms by another 20 years, the law was nicknamed “The Mickey Mouse Protection Act” for Disney had pushed so hard for the extension. ____17____ The numbers proved them right: for two decades, not a single work entered the public domain, until the gates finally reopened in 2019.
____18____ Within days of Mickey’s release, a horror film and a survival video game starring the mouse were announced. Nor is this appetite new: when The Great Gatsby was freed, a zombie (僵尸) edition appeared on Amazon within forty-eight hours.
Before anyone draws mouse ears on a horror poster, however, a warning is in order. ____19____ His modern descendant — the one with gloves, shoes and a high-pitched voice — remains private property, and Disney has made clear it will guard its trademarks, which unlike copyrights, never expire. As one Harvard law professor put it, trademark law has no end.
None of this has ruined the party. Every January the list grows — Tigger, Buster Keaton’s silent comedies, and soon the earliest Superman — and every January, more of our shared culture is handed back to the people. ____20____
A. Fans call the occasion Public Domain Day.
B. Such freedom worries some lawyers and artists.
C. After all, our old stories deserve their second life.
D. Disney still earns millions from the famous mouse.
E. Only the steamboat mouse of 1928 has been set free.
F. Opponents warned the law would lock culture itself away.
G. Once free, a work belongs to everyone — and everyone has ideas.

In my household, a computer with no internet qualifies as a crisis. I’m an old fossil, ____21____ with technology. I avoid self-checkouts and online banking, ____22____ any device that speaks before I do.
For years, my technical support department ____23____ my adult children. They were efficient, capable but increasingly ____24____. I suspected that when they saw my name appear on their phones, they would ____25____ and whisper, “It’s Dad again with a tech ____26____,” and let the call go unanswered. Eventually, I turned to my grandchildren, who introduced me to AI. Though grateful, I was ____27____ I would never use it.
But after three computer restarts I needed help. I tried every ____28____ I knew, even throwing a few angry words at the screen. When that ____29____, my granddaughter said, “Try AI. Ask it.”
So I did. From my iPhone, I typed out my problem: the ____30____ working on my phone and tablet, not on my laptop. Instantly it ____31____ the DNS issue and walked me through clicks and hidden menus — like a digital dance. When I grew frustrated and suggested buying a new laptop, it said ____32____, “Take a few deep breaths. We’re almost there.” Finally, we fixed the problem. But the real surprise was that the machine never once made me feel ____33____.
And in that tiny mercy, I glimpsed something larger: growing older often means being ____34____, and the generation I once guided now guides me. But somewhere between their world and mine sits a patient digital genie (精灵), ready to explain what a sidebar is — without ____35____ its eyes, even calling my question “excellent”. I’m learning to embrace the unexpected, even from a machine.

52. 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。
In the little village of Meadowbrook, surrounded with rolling hills, lived two curious and adventurous twins, Sarah and Sam. At the age of twelve, the inseparable twins were always seeking new adventures.
One morning, Miss Harper, their favorite community service teacher, was introducing community volunteer work. Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Sarah, ”whispered Sam, “Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today?It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village. ”
Hearing that, Sarah’s face lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagemess. “Oh, Sam, that sounds great!But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily. ”With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen, ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey, their backpacks filled with sandwiches, cookies, and bottles filled with cool, clear water from the village well. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered (散落) about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way?We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials. ”
Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village. “It’s so beautiful!”Sam burst out,” We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates!”
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。
The next morning, Sarah and Sam returned to school, eager to meet Miss Harper.
