第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5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
In recent years, technological innovations have become vital tools in handling environmental challenges. From AI-driven monitoring systems to drone-based reforestation, these advancements are reshaping traditional approaches to ecological conservation.
AI for Pollution Control
Artificial Intelligence (AI) now plays a critical role in tracking pollution sources. For instance, Beijing has employed AI-powered sensors across the city to analyze air quality data in real time. These sensors identify pollution hotspots and predict smog trends with 92% accuracy, allowing authorities to carry out targeted emission reduction policies. Additionally, machine learning algorithms (算法) better waste sorting in recycling plants, increasing efficiency by 40% compared to manual methods.
Drones and Reforestation
Drones are transforming reforestation efforts in deforested regions. In the Amazon rainforest, companies use seed-planting drones capable of spreading 100,000 seeds daily. Equipped with GPS and soil analysis tools, these drones select ideal planting sites, achieving a survival rate of 70% — double that of traditional methods. This technology not only speeds forest recovery but also reduces labor costs by 60%.
Blockchain for Carbon Credits
Blockchain technology ensures transparency (透明) in carbon credit trading. Companies like EcoChain record carbon offset data, preventing cheats and double-counting. A 2024 study showed that blockchain-based systems boosted investor confidence, leading to a 35% increase in global carbon credit purchases.
Despite these breakthroughs, challenges remain. High costs and limited accessibility block small-scale applications. However, experts believe that technologies like AI and drones will become mainstream by 2030.
1. Which of the following is a function of AI-powered sensors?
A. Locating pollution sources. B. Managing waste sorting.
C. Predicting climate changes. D. Controlling traffic emissions.
2. What do we know about blockchain technology?
A. It reduces labor costs. B. It relies on carbon analysis tools.
C. It enhances data openness. D. It favors small-scale applications.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To predict how AI monitors air pollution data.
B. To compare different environmental analysis methods.
C. To show the high costs of environmental technologies.
D. To highlight how technology aids environmental protection.
B
People generally associate progress with ongoing collection of skills and tools. This fixed mindset once guided the early artistic exploration of Swedish photographer Elias Sundberg, believing that the more skills he mastered and the more advanced tools he used, the better his works would be.
In his early career, Elias practiced shooting repeatedly, mastered advanced devices, and polished every detail of his works. He spent years learning professional post-processing techniques, trying to make each photo meet the highest industrial standards. His efforts paid off well: his photos were professionally structured and visually delicate, bringing him numerous awards and wide industry recognition. Many media and galleries praised his skilled techniques.
Though technically faultless, he gradually noticed his highly refined works looked brilliant but rigid, lacking the genuine warmth that could connect with ordinary viewers. Trapped in such a creative dilemma, Elias began to reflect on his fixed working mode. He realized that his pursuit of formal perfection had greatly limited his inspiration and expression. To seek a breakthrough, he made a counter-intuitive attempt against mainstream trends. He set aside his high-end equipment and abandoned the complex post-processing skills he had spent years acquiring.
For nearly two years, Elias used only a simple old camera to record urban life, giving up deliberate scene arrangement and fancy visual effects and focusing instead on spontaneous (即兴的) moments in daily life. He walked through streets at different hours, patiently waiting for natural scenes. He captured weary commuters at dusk, swaying leaves in the wind, and casual smiles between strangers, quietly documenting the overlooked simplicity of ordinary days.
This subtle shift in his creative style brought striking changes. Free from rigid technical restrictions, his works regained vividness and sincerity. Though plain in appearance, his new photos touched countless people and won far more lasting public affection than his previous award-winning creations, earning him a new height in his artistic career.
4. What did Elias center on in his early career?
A. Technical perfection. B. Award-winning chances.
C. Public recognition. D. Sincere emotion within works.
5. What does the underlined word “counter-intuitive” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fully supported by experience. B. Contrary to common sense.
C. Identical to industrial standards. D. Highly praised by professionals.
6. Which of the following can best describe Elias’s later works?
A. Rigid but artistic. B. Technical and formal.
C. Plain but genuine. D. Brilliant and faultless.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Elias rebuilt strict technical restrictions.
B. How simplicity revived Elias’s photography.
C. How Elias set mainstream trends in art industry.
D. How the standards of artistic perfection changed.
C
For decades, mainstream society has celebrated the ethic of constant effort. People are taught that success comes only from endless struggle, overtime work and total devotion to goals. High ambition and maximum output are regarded as the only respectable way of living. Recently, however, a subtle cultural shift has appeared among young generations: minimal-effort culture.
Driven by the popular belief, many people constantly push themselves beyond physical and mental limits and regard long-hour work as a proud symbol of strict self-discipline. Thus the new trend is widely misunderstood by the public. It is often mistakenly labeled as laziness, escapism or a negative attitude toward life and work. In fact, minimal-effort living does not mean giving up self-progress or refusing to take due responsibility. It never encourages laziness or underperformance in daily tasks and career development.
Instead, it refers to strategically cutting unnecessary exhaustion and inefficient efforts. Young people choose to concentrate their limited time and energy only on things that truly matter to their long-term growth and inner happiness, while deliberately lowering effort on meaningless social competition, blind comparison with peers and useless busywork that merely wastes energy and brings no real improvement.
Psychologists regard this shift as a reasonable adaptation to intense modern pressure. The digital age has created an exhausting “productivity trap” that traps people in constant anxiety and stress. People are pushed to be always improving, always performing and always advancing, even at the cost of mental health. Minimal-effort culture serves as a gentle resistance. It helps individuals protect their emotional energy, maintain stable moods and keep a sustainable pace of life.
Critics worry that this trend will weaken people’s willpower and reduce social competitiveness. Yet supporters argue that it represents mature life wisdom. True maturity, they believe, lies in knowing what to strive for and what to let go. Rather than chasing endless perfection, young people today prefer balanced growth and long-term well-being. This quiet cultural change does not signal failure; it shows a new generation’s independent and reasonable attitude toward life.
8. What does mainstream society value according to paragraph 1?
A. Balanced lifestyles. B. Continuous struggle.
C. Sound mental health. D. Minimal devotion to tasks.
9. What is the core of minimal-effort culture?
A. Avoiding troublesome work. B. Shouldering social duties.
C. Saving energy for meaningful things. D. Making instant progress.
10. What does the “productivity trap” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Reasonable escape from pressure.
B. Endless pursuit of stable moods.
C. Overwhelming anxiety from heavy work.
D. Progress at the sacrifice of mental health.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards this trend?
A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical.
D
Colombia hosts the world’s richest bird biodiversity, but when conservation ecologist Natalia attended college there in the mid-2000s, few birders visited.
That has changed dramatically, according to an analysis of millions of records from eBird, a global database of bird observations. Birders from abroad have increasingly flocked to Colombia’s varied mountains, rain forests, and coasts. From 2010 to 2022, daily tourist activity on eBird increased by roughly 40 times, making Colombia the fastest-growing birdwatching destination. Yet ranking the buzziest global birding hotspots wasn’t the study’s main goal. Rather, a team led by Natalia wanted to know what drives bird-loving tourists to bring their equipment — and their wallets — to certain countries in order to encourage the sector.
She and her colleagues used eBird to examine that question. They assigned each eBird user a likely country of residence based on the account’s activity — allowing them to identify when users traveled abroad and find trends. The results? A country’s standard of living and development influenced tourism patterns more than that nation’s birdlife, including both its total biodiversity and its unique “small-range” species that birders seek out. Additional factors the study didn’t analyze, such as birding and travel infrastructure (基础设施), visa requirements, affordability, and overall perception of safety, also likely play a part, she says.
While not surprising, the results show that building a bird tourism economy in tropical (热带) countries requires basic development and security, as well as deliberate strategy. Costa Rica started along that path in the 1990s and now has a booming ecotourism industry. For Colombia — where decades of civil war ended with a peace deal in 2016 — progress is more recent. “You can recover from instability if you have some programs that help change the image of the country,” Natalia says. “The tourists will come to those birds as long as they feel safe.”
While tourism can have downsides if not done responsibly and fairly, Natalia agrees that the country’s birding scene isn’t yet close to fulfilling its potential as a force for conservation and sustainable growth. And if that’s true in Colombia, it’s even more true for other bird-rich tropical nations that have yet to attract visitors. Natalia hopes her data can help local conservation advocates make the case that they should.
12. What did Natalia’s study focus on?
A. Protecting small-range bird species. B. The popularity of database platforms.
C. Ranking popular global birdwatching sites. D. Factors for choosing birdwatching destinations.
13. How did the team carry out the study?
A. By analyzing eBird users’ activity data.
B. By conducting field surveys in birding hotspots.
C. By collecting information from local birdwatchers.
D. By assessing travel infrastructure in different nations.
14. Why does the author mention Costa Rica in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight a problem. B. To serve as an example.
C. To illustrate a theory. D. To present a fact.
15. What does Natalia think of birding tourism in Colombia?
A. It brought serious damage to habitat of local birds.
B. It became a valuable model for other tropical countries.
C. It achieved sustainable growth with proper management.
D. It failed to realize its full value for environmental protection.

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。
Li Wei, a high school senior, had always felt confused between her mother’s expectation and her own dream. Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves.
But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.”
Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving.
Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support.
Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand.

People generally associate progress with ongoing collection of skills and tools. This fixed mindset once guided the early artistic exploration of Swedish photographer Elias Sundberg, believing that the more skills he mastered and the more advanced tools he used, the better his works would be.
In his early career, Elias practiced shooting repeatedly, mastered advanced devices, and polished every detail of his works. He spent years learning professional post-processing techniques, trying to make each photo meet the highest industrial standards. His efforts paid off well: his photos were professionally structured and visually delicate, bringing him numerous awards and wide industry recognition. Many media and galleries praised his skilled techniques.
Though technically faultless, he gradually noticed his highly refined works looked brilliant but rigid, lacking the genuine warmth that could connect with ordinary viewers. Trapped in such a creative dilemma, Elias began to reflect on his fixed working mode. He realized that his pursuit of formal perfection had greatly limited his inspiration and expression. To seek a breakthrough, he made a counter-intuitive attempt against mainstream trends. He set aside his high-end equipment and abandoned the complex post-processing skills he had spent years acquiring.
For nearly two years, Elias used only a simple old camera to record urban life, giving up deliberate scene arrangement and fancy visual effects and focusing instead on spontaneous (即兴的) moments in daily life. He walked through streets at different hours, patiently waiting for natural scenes. He captured weary commuters at dusk, swaying leaves in the wind, and casual smiles between strangers, quietly documenting the overlooked simplicity of ordinary days.
This subtle shift in his creative style brought striking changes. Free from rigid technical restrictions, his works regained vividness and sincerity. Though plain in appearance, his new photos touched countless people and won far more lasting public affection than his previous award-winning creations, earning him a new height in his artistic career.
4. What did Elias center on in his early career?
A. Technical perfection. B. Award-winning chances.
C. Public recognition. D. Sincere emotion within works.
5. What does the underlined word “counter-intuitive” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fully supported by experience. B. Contrary to common sense.
C. Identical to industrial standards. D. Highly praised by professionals.
6. Which of the following can best describe Elias’s later works?
A. Rigid but artistic. B. Technical and formal.
C. Plain but genuine. D. Brilliant and faultless.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Elias rebuilt strict technical restrictions.
B. How simplicity revived Elias’s photography.
C. How Elias set mainstream trends in art industry.
D. How the standards of artistic perfection changed.

【导语】瑞典摄影师伊莱亚斯早年一味追求摄影技术极致,作品精美却僵硬冰冷;他改用简易相机记录日常朴素瞬间,简约真实的风格让其摄影重焕生命力,收获大众长久喜爱。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In his early career, Elias practiced shooting repeatedly, mastered advanced devices, and polished every detail of his works. He spent years learning professional post-processing techniques, trying to make each photo meet the highest industrial standards.(在职业生涯早期,伊莱亚斯反复练习拍摄、精通高端设备,打磨作品的每一处细节。他花费数年学习专业后期修图技术,力求让每一张照片都达到行业最高标准。)”可知,伊莱亚斯早期创作以技术完美为核心。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“To seek a breakthrough, he made a counter-intuitive attempt against mainstream trends. He set aside his high-end equipment and abandoned the complex post-processing skills he had spent years acquiring.(为寻求创作突破,他做出了违背主流趋势、counter-intuitive的尝试。他搁置高端器材,舍弃自己耗费多年掌握的复杂后期技术。)” 可知,主流观点认为器材与复杂技术能提升作品,而他反其道而行,所以猜测counter-intuitive意为“违背大众常理的”。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Though plain in appearance, his new photos touched countless people and won far more lasting public affection than his previous award-winning creations.(尽管画面朴素平淡,他的新作打动了无数人,相比从前获奖作品收获了更长久的大众喜爱。)”以及第四段“For nearly two years, Elias used only a simple old camera to record urban life, giving up deliberate scene arrangement and fancy visual effects and focusing instead on spontaneous (即兴的) moments in daily life. He walked through streets at different hours, patiently waiting for natural scenes. He captured weary commuters at dusk, swaying leaves in the wind, and casual smiles between strangers, quietly documenting the overlooked simplicity of ordinary days.(近两年以来,伊莱亚斯只用一台老旧简易相机记录城市生活。他摒弃刻意布景与花哨视觉特效,转而专注捕捉日常生活里转瞬即逝的即兴瞬间。他穿梭于不同时段的街巷,耐心等候自然画面:暮色下疲惫的通勤路人、风中摇曳的树叶、陌生人之间不经意的浅笑,默默留存下平凡日子里那些被人们忽略的质朴美好。)”可知,伊莱亚斯后期作品朴素却饱含真情,对应Plain but genuine。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章讲述摄影师伊莱亚斯早年执着追求高端技术,作品精美却僵硬缺少温度;后来舍弃复杂设备与后期,以简单相机捕捉日常平凡瞬间,朴素真挚的风格让创作重获生命力,事业达到新高度。特别根据最后一段“Free from rigid technical restrictions, his works regained vividness and sincerity.(摆脱死板的技术束缚后,他的作品重新拥有鲜活与真诚。)”可知,文章核心是讲述简约重塑了他的摄影创作。所以B项“How simplicity revived Elias’s photography.(简约风格如何让伊莱亚斯的摄影创作重获新生)”概括了文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。
C
For decades, mainstream society has celebrated the ethic of constant effort. People are taught that success comes only from endless struggle, overtime work and total devotion to goals. High ambition and maximum output are regarded as the only respectable way of living. Recently, however, a subtle cultural shift has appeared among young generations: minimal-effort culture.
Driven by the popular belief, many people constantly push themselves beyond physical and mental limits and regard long-hour work as a proud symbol of strict self-discipline. Thus the new trend is widely misunderstood by the public. It is often mistakenly labeled as laziness, escapism or a negative attitude toward life and work. In fact, minimal-effort living does not mean giving up self-progress or refusing to take due responsibility. It never encourages laziness or underperformance in daily tasks and career development.
Instead, it refers to strategically cutting unnecessary exhaustion and inefficient efforts. Young people choose to concentrate their limited time and energy only on things that truly matter to their long-term growth and inner happiness, while deliberately lowering effort on meaningless social competition, blind comparison with peers and useless busywork that merely wastes energy and brings no real improvement.
Psychologists regard this shift as a reasonable adaptation to intense modern pressure. The digital age has created an exhausting “productivity trap” that traps people in constant anxiety and stress. People are pushed to be always improving, always performing and always advancing, even at the cost of mental health. Minimal-effort culture serves as a gentle resistance. It helps individuals protect their emotional energy, maintain stable moods and keep a sustainable pace of life.
Critics worry that this trend will weaken people’s willpower and reduce social competitiveness. Yet supporters argue that it represents mature life wisdom. True maturity, they believe, lies in knowing what to strive for and what to let go. Rather than chasing endless perfection, young people today prefer balanced growth and long-term well-being. This quiet cultural change does not signal failure; it shows a new generation’s independent and reasonable attitude toward life.
8. What does mainstream society value according to paragraph 1?
A. Balanced lifestyles. B. Continuous struggle.
C. Sound mental health. D. Minimal devotion to tasks.
9. What is the core of minimal-effort culture?
A. Avoiding troublesome work. B. Shouldering social duties.
C. Saving energy for meaningful things. D. Making instant progress.
10. What does the “productivity trap” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Reasonable escape from pressure.
B. Endless pursuit of stable moods.
C. Overwhelming anxiety from heavy work.
D. Progress at the sacrifice of mental health.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards this trend?
A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For decades, mainstream society has celebrated the ethic of constant effort. People are taught that success comes only from endless struggle, overtime work and total devotion to goals.(数十年来,主流社会推崇持续拼搏的价值观。人们被灌输只有无休止的奋斗、加班以及全心投入目标才能收获成功。)”可知,主流社会看重持续拼搏。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, it refers to strategically cutting unnecessary exhaustion and inefficient efforts. Young people choose to concentrate their limited time and energy only on things that truly matter to their long-term growth and inner happiness.(相反,它指有策略地剔除无意义消耗和低效付出。年轻人选择把有限时间和精力只投入到对自身长期成长、内心幸福真正重要的事上。)”可知,轻量努力文化的核心是为有意义的事留存精力。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The digital age has created an exhausting “productivity trap” that traps people in constant anxiety and stress. People are pushed to be always improving, always performing and always advancing, even at the cost of mental health.(数字时代催生了令人身心俱疲的 “productivity trap”,让人们长期陷入焦虑压力之中。人们被迫不停提升、不停表现、不停前进,甚至以心理健康为代价。)”可知 ,“productivity trap”指代以牺牲心理健康换取进步的内卷状态。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Minimal-effort culture serves as a gentle resistance. It helps individuals protect their emotional energy, maintain stable moods and keep a sustainable pace of life.(轻量努力文化是一种温和的反抗。它帮助人们守护情绪能量、维持情绪稳定、保持可持续的生活节奏。)”以及最后一段“This quiet cultural change does not signal failure; it shows a new generation’s independent and reasonable attitude toward life.(这场温和的文化转变并非认输,它体现了新一代独立理性的生活态度。)”可知,作者客观阐述该趋势的正面价值,认可这种趋势,态度是支持赞同的。

Colombia hosts the world’s richest bird biodiversity, but when conservation ecologist Natalia attended college there in the mid-2000s, few birders visited.
That has changed dramatically, according to an analysis of millions of records from eBird, a global database of bird observations. Birders from abroad have increasingly flocked to Colombia’s varied mountains, rain forests, and coasts. From 2010 to 2022, daily tourist activity on eBird increased by roughly 40 times, making Colombia the fastest-growing birdwatching destination. Yet ranking the buzziest global birding hotspots wasn’t the study’s main goal. Rather, a team led by Natalia wanted to know what drives bird-loving tourists to bring their equipment — and their wallets — to certain countries in order to encourage the sector.
She and her colleagues used eBird to examine that question. They assigned each eBird user a likely country of residence based on the account’s activity — allowing them to identify when users traveled abroad and find trends. The results? A country’s standard of living and development influenced tourism patterns more than that nation’s birdlife, including both its total biodiversity and its unique “small-range” species that birders seek out. Additional factors the study didn’t analyze, such as birding and travel infrastructure (基础设施), visa requirements, affordability, and overall perception of safety, also likely play a part, she says.
While not surprising, the results show that building a bird tourism economy in tropical (热带) countries requires basic development and security, as well as deliberate strategy. Costa Rica started along that path in the 1990s and now has a booming ecotourism industry. For Colombia — where decades of civil war ended with a peace deal in 2016 — progress is more recent. “You can recover from instability if you have some programs that help change the image of the country,” Natalia says. “The tourists will come to those birds as long as they feel safe.”
While tourism can have downsides if not done responsibly and fairly, Natalia agrees that the country’s birding scene isn’t yet close to fulfilling its potential as a force for conservation and sustainable growth. And if that’s true in Colombia, it’s even more true for other bird-rich tropical nations that have yet to attract visitors. Natalia hopes her data can help local conservation advocates make the case that they should.
12. What did Natalia’s study focus on?
A. Protecting small-range bird species. B. The popularity of database platforms.
C. Ranking popular global birdwatching sites. D. Factors for choosing birdwatching destinations.
13. How did the team carry out the study?
A. By analyzing eBird users’ activity data.
B. By conducting field surveys in birding hotspots.
C. By collecting information from local birdwatchers.
D. By assessing travel infrastructure in different nations.
14. Why does the author mention Costa Rica in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight a problem. B. To serve as an example.
C. To illustrate a theory. D. To present a fact.
15. What does Natalia think of birding tourism in Colombia?
A. It brought serious damage to habitat of local birds.
B. It became a valuable model for other tropical countries.
C. It achieved sustainable growth with proper management.
D. It failed to realize its full value for environmental protection.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“While tourism can have downsides if not done responsibly and fairly, Natalia agrees that the country’s birding scene isn’t yet close to fulfilling its potential as a force for conservation and sustainable growth.(如果发展方式缺乏责任与公平,旅游业会存在弊端,但娜塔莉娅认为,哥伦比亚的观鸟产业远未充分发挥其助力生态保护与可持续发展的潜力。)”可知,娜塔莉娅认为当地观鸟旅游没能实现其环保层面的全部价值。

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。
Li Wei, a high school senior, had always felt confused between her mother’s expectation and her own dream. Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves.
But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.”
Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving.
Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support.
Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】【参考范文】
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand. Her mother was carefully weighing dried herbs at the counter. With a deep breath, Li Wei placed the form in front of her, ready to brace herself for the refusal she had long expected. Her mother wiped her hands on her apron and picked up the paper. After a moment of careful reading, she signed her name without a word. Then, she reached under the counter, took out a small sachet, and placed it gently in Li Wei’ s hand. “Keep this with you,” she said softly. “It will help you stay calm.” A sense of warmth welled up in Li Wei’ s heart, resolving to do her utmost in the competition.
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket. It was her first time competing on such a major stage. Great panic almost made her forget how to dance. Just then her mother appeared quietly beside her, “The clinic is my path, but this stage is your journey.” Her words lingered in the air like a blessing. Li Wei breathed in the sachet’ s calming scent, felt her fear loosen, and gave her mother’ s hand a grateful squeeze. Stepping into the lights, Li Wei danced — and in her movement, two separate dreams converged into a moment of perfect understanding.
