Discover World Heritage
Heritage is treasure from the past — what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. To preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world.
Here are 4 World Heritage sites:
Historic Centre of Rome
Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century.
Ancient City of Damascus
Founded in 3000 BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history.
Old Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean’s main centres for ship-building. Although it is today a modern city, its old centre remains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical (新古典主义的) monuments.
Ancient City of Pingyao
Pingyao, founded in the 14th century, shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries. Of special interest are the splendid buildings associated with banking, for which Pingyao was the major centre for the whole of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
1. Which of the following was last founded?
A. Rome. B. Pingyao. C. Havana. D. Damascus.
2. What can we learn from the text?
A. Havana became a modern city in the 16th century.
B. Damascus was well-known for its craft industry.
C. Pingyao was once the major centre for ships in China.
D. Rome was founded by the Spanish.
3. In which section of a magazine can we read the text?

Dr Kit Prendergast discovered the bee species in Perth’s Kings Park and decided to name it after her dog, Zephyr, after noticing the bee had an unusual doglike nose.
Bees don’t have noses. They smell with their antennae (触须), so Dr Prendergast said she was “instantly intrigued by the bee’s very unusual face”. “When I went to identify it, I found it matched no described species, and I was sure that if it was a known species it would be quite easy to identify given how unusual it was in appearance,” she said.
Dr Prendergast said she had always dreamed of discovering and describing a new species of native bee. When someone discovers and officially and scientifically describes a new species, they also get the right to name it. “You can name it after something descriptive, a location, or even a famous person or someone who is significant in your life — which is exactly what I did,” Dr Prendergast said.
The official name of the new bee species is Leioproctus Zephyr. The word Leioproctus identifies the new species as being part of a very large and varied group of native bees and Zephyr, of course, is the name of Dr Prendergast’s dog.
Dr Prendergast said she named the new bee after Zephyr because its face looked similar to a dog’s nose, but also because of the emotional support she got from her pet during her PhD studies. “She has been so important to my mental health and happiness during the challenging period of doing a PhD and beyond,” Dr Prendergast said.
The discovery of the new species highlighted the importance of conserving urban habitats and planting native flowers. Dr Prendergast had found the Leioproctus Zephyr in only five urban bushland locations in southwest Western Australia. But her discovery meant they could now be protected.
4. What does the underlined phrase “intrigued by” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interested in. B. Satisfied with.
C. Concerned about. D. Amused by.
5. What does Prendergast advise if someone discovers a new species?
A. Get official recognition.
B. Name it depending on his own will.
C. Describe it to the public in a scientific way.
D. Invite famous people to give it a name.
6. What can we infer from Prendergast’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. Her dog made a difference to her life.
B. People should treat their pets seriously.
C. She had some problems in getting PhD.
D. Mental health shouldn’t be ignored.
7. What can be learned about the new bee species from the text?
A. It has an unusual doglike mouth.
B. It was first discovered by the dog named Zephyr.
C. People can plant flowers from abroad to protect it.
D. It was found in southwest Western Australia.
C
Researchers in Italy found the more than 2,000-year-old Etruscan and Roman statues in the area of Tuscany.
A retired garbage man helped in the discovery of the statues, which lay in mud at the ruins of an ancient spa (矿泉疗养地). Experts called it the biggest collection of ancient bronze (青铜制的) statues ever found in Italy. Some said it was a major finding that would “rewrite history”.
Researchers found the statues in 2021 and 2022 in the village of San Casciano dei Bagni. The village still has public baths in operation today. Researchers had long suspected ancient ruins could be discovered at the site. The first few attempts to locate the ancient baths, however, were unsuccessful. Then former garbage man and amateur local historian Stefano Petrini had an idea. He remembered that years earlier he had seen bits of ancient Roman columns on a wall on the other side of the public baths. When Petrini took researchers to the place, they knew they had found the right spot.
The statues found there were offerings from Romans and Etruscans who looked to the gods for good health. One of the most amazing finds was the so-called “scrawny boy”, a statue about 90 centimetres high, of a young Roman with a bone disease. A small piece of writing has his name as “Marcius Grabillo”. More unusual offerings were also among smaller objects in the discovery. These included egg shells, pine cones, medical tools and a 2,000-year-old piece of hair.
Workers permanently closed the spa about 1,600 years ago. The warm mud of the baths protected the statues. The experts say they may find another six or 12 statues noted in a document found at the site. The archaeologists think that it may have been left by Marcius Grabillo.
Petrini hopes the treasures will bring “jobs, culture and knowledge” to his village, which is struggling with depopulation like much of rural Italy. But he does not want to take credit for the discovery. “Important things always happen thanks to several people, never thanks to only one,” he said. “Never.”
8. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The main value of this discovery. B. Identities of the discoverers.
C. The process of finding the location. D. The contributions of an amateur historian.
9. What were these discovered statues mainly used for in ancient times?
A. Praying for health. B. Recording the death.
C. Treating bone diseases. D. Providing unusual offerings.
10. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The warm mud. B. The ancient site.
C. More relevant information. D. The document discovered on the spot.
11. Which of the following can best describe Stefano Petrini?
A. Persistent and ambitious. B. Enthusiastic and humble.
C. Adventurous and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and fashionable.
D
Imagine purchasing a robot to perform household tasks. This robot was built and trained in a factory on a certain set of tasks and has never seen the items in your home. When you ask it to pick up a cup from your kitchen table, it might not recognize your cup. So, the robot fails.
“Right now, the way we train these robots, when they fail, we don’t really know why. So you would just throw up your hands and say, ‘OK, I guess we have to start over.’ A critical component that is missing from this system is enabling the robot to demonstrate why it is failing so the user can give it feedback,” says Andi Peng, an electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) graduate student at MIT.
Peng and her collaborators at MIT, New York University, and the University of California at Berkeley created a framework that enables humans to quickly teach a robot what they want it to do, with a minimal amount of effort.
The researchers tested this technique in simulations and found that it could teach a robot more efficiently than other methods. The robots trained with this framework performed better, while the training process consumed less of a human’s time. More importantly, this framework could help robots learn faster in new environments without requiring a user to have technical knowledge.
Robots often fail due to distribution shift. One way to retrain a robot for a specific task is imitation learning. The user could demonstrate the correct task to teach the robot what to do. If a user tries to teach a robot to pick up a cup, but demonstrates with a white cup, the robot could learn that all cups are white. It may then fail to pick up a red or blue cup.
“We want robots to do what humans do, and we want them to do it in a meaningful way. At the end of the day, this is really about enabling a robot to learn a good, human-like representation at an abstract level,” Peng says.
12. What may the user do if his robot fails according to the text?
A. Let the robot try it again. B. Show it around his kitchen.
C. Analyse why the robot failed. D. Give feedback to robot producers.
13. What’s the most important feature about Peng’s framework?
A. It requires users to spend much time teaching robots.
B. It helps robots distinguish red cups from white cups.
C. It enables robots to adapt to new surroundings better.
D. It requires robot users to grasp technical knowledge.
14. What will robots be expected to do according to Peng?
A. Replace humans to do dangerous tasks.
B. Serve humans in a positive way.
C. Look like humans even more.
D. Obey humans’ order successfully.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots Aren’t Experienced in Household Tasks
B. Imitation Learning Is of Importance for Robots
C. Robots Can’t Completely Meet Human’s Needs
D. New Technique Upgrades Robots Who Failed to Do Tasks

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life is full of ups and downs, and there are times when we cannot depend entirely on our family and friends for support. ___16___ It’s the conversations we have with ourselves in our minds, like having a supportive and encouraging friend inside our head. This simple strategy can have a big impact on how we feel and perform.
First, self-talk helps us build confidence in our abilities. ___17___ By consistently repeating positive statements like “I am capable” or “I have the skills to succeed”, individuals internalize these messages, leading to a more positive and confident mindset. This shift in thinking serves as a solid foundation for developing self-assurance and facing challenges head-on.
___18___ When faced with difficult or distressing situations, it is common for us to feel sad, frustrated, or anxious. Engaging in self-talk provides us with a sense of comfort, encouragement, and support. By doing so, self-talk helps you cope with difficult emotions and maintain a more positive outlook on life.
Furthermore, self-talk is a tool for self-improvement. By reflecting on strengths and areas for growth, you can set goals and map out steps to reach them. For instance, if shyness holds you back socially, say to yourself “I can be friendly. I will gradually engage in more conversations.” ___19___
In summary, self-talk proves helpful as it offers constant encouragement similar to a real companion. This inner friend strengthens your self-belief, relieves negative feelings, and motivates personal development. ___20___ It truly makes a difference.
A. In such moments, self-talk becomes necessary.
B. This motivates you towards your goal in a supporting way.
C. Self-talk also plays an important role in managing our emotions.

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。
The hospital hallway was crowded with people, and the air was heavy with the smell of disinfectant (消毒剂). Nobody enjoys being in a hospital, especially the little children spending their days stuck in the ward (病房).
After another painful treatment, little George’s mum was reading him a comic book, trying to ease his pain and boredom. He turned to his mum, pointing at the superheroes in the book, and asked in a weak voice, “How can I be a superhero?” Despite the heaviness in her heart, his mother forced a smile and answered, “You’ve already shown so much courage and strength. Someday you’ll be able to help others, and that’s what will make you a superhero.” Hearing this, little George’s eyes lit up with a spark of hope. Were it not for the disease, he would have been attending school regularly and might be running around with his friends. However, his days were filled with medical routines.
That afternoon, as the window washer Jordan came down the tall building, the usual chatter of kids in the ward fell silent. They rushed to the window, their faces pressed against the cool glass, their breaths fogging up the windows. George asked with wide eyes, “Are you a superhero?”
Jordan paused for a second-he didn’t want to disappoint this little boy, but in his plain- looking work suit, he couldn’t tell a lie. He shook his head but managed to strike a heroic pose, reaching out as if to stop an invisible villain (反派), and then continued his work.
However, the simple question, accompanied by the children’s longing eyes, sent a wave of emotion through him. When he finished work, he approached the nurses and inquired about the kids’ situation. An idea occurred to him when the nurses mentioned the kids, shared love for superheroes as a form of escape and inspiration.
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。
The next day, Jordan arrived outside the window in a different suit.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With frequent visits from the “Window Superhero”, the change in the ward was obvious.

Dr Kit Prendergast discovered the bee species in Perth’s Kings Park and decided to name it after her dog, Zephyr, after noticing the bee had an unusual doglike nose.
Bees don’t have noses. They smell with their antennae (触须), so Dr Prendergast said she was “instantly intrigued by the bee’s very unusual face”. “When I went to identify it, I found it matched no described species, and I was sure that if it was a known species it would be quite easy to identify given how unusual it was in appearance,” she said.
Dr Prendergast said she had always dreamed of discovering and describing a new species of native bee. When someone discovers and officially and scientifically describes a new species, they also get the right to name it. “You can name it after something descriptive, a location, or even a famous person or someone who is significant in your life — which is exactly what I did,” Dr Prendergast said.
The official name of the new bee species is Leioproctus Zephyr. The word Leioproctus identifies the new species as being part of a very large and varied group of native bees and Zephyr, of course, is the name of Dr Prendergast’s dog.
Dr Prendergast said she named the new bee after Zephyr because its face looked similar to a dog’s nose, but also because of the emotional support she got from her pet during her PhD studies. “She has been so important to my mental health and happiness during the challenging period of doing a PhD and beyond,” Dr Prendergast said.
The discovery of the new species highlighted the importance of conserving urban habitats and planting native flowers. Dr Prendergast had found the Leioproctus Zephyr in only five urban bushland locations in southwest Western Australia. But her discovery meant they could now be protected.
4. What does the underlined phrase “intrigued by” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interested in. B. Satisfied with.
C. Concerned about. D. Amused by.
5. What does Prendergast advise if someone discovers a new species?
A. Get official recognition.
B. Name it depending on his own will.
C. Describe it to the public in a scientific way.
D. Invite famous people to give it a name.
6. What can we infer from Prendergast’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. Her dog made a difference to her life.
B. People should treat their pets seriously.
C. She had some problems in getting PhD.
D. Mental health shouldn’t be ignored.
7. What can be learned about the new bee species from the text?
A. It has an unusual doglike mouth.
B. It was first discovered by the dog named Zephyr.
C. People can plant flowers from abroad to protect it.
D. It was found in southwest Western Australia.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。Kit Prendergast博士在珀斯发现一种长着“狗鼻子”的新蜜蜂,用爱犬Zephyr命名,文章描述发现过程、命名规则,并强调该发现对生态保护的意义。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第二句中的“They smell with their antennae (它们用触角来嗅气味)”和第三句中的“When I went to identify it, I found it matched no described species, and I was sure that if it was a known species it would be quite easy to identify given how unusual it was in appearance (当我去对其进行鉴定时,我发现它与任何描述的物种都不相符。而且我确信,如果它是一种已知的物种的话,鉴于其外观的奇特之处,应该很容易进行识别的。)”可知,Prendergast博士对这种蜜蜂极为奇特的面部特征产生了兴趣从而进行研究,intrigued by意为“对……产生兴趣”。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“When someone discovers and officially and scientifically describes a new species, they also get the right to name it. “You can name it after something descriptive, a location, or even a famous person or someone who is significant in your life — which is exactly what I did,” Dr Prendergast said.(当有人发现并正式且科学地描述出一个新物种时,他们也就获得了对该物种进行命名的权利。“你可以根据某个描述性的词语、某个地点、甚至是一位名人或者是你生命中重要人物的名字来为其命名——而我就是这么做的。”Prendergast博士说道。)”可知,如果有人发现了一种新物种,Prendergast建议其按照自己的意愿命名它。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“Dr Prendergast said she named the new bee after Zephyr because its face looked similar to a dog’s nose, but also because of the emotional support she got from her pet during her PhD studies.(Prendergast博士表示,她将这种新蜜蜂命名为“泽弗尔”,是因为它的脸型看起来与狗的鼻子相似,同时这也是因为她博士研究期间从宠物那里获得了情感上的支持。)”可知,Prendergast博士的狗对她的生活有重要意义。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Dr Prendergast had found the Leioproctus Zephyr in only five urban bushland locations in southwest Western Australia.(Prendergast博士仅在西澳大利亚州西南部的五个城市周边的灌木丛区域发现了这种名为“Leioproctus Zephyr”的生物。)”可知,这种新的蜜蜂物种是在西澳大利亚州西南部被发现的。故选D。
C
Researchers in Italy found the more than 2,000-year-old Etruscan and Roman statues in the area of Tuscany.
A retired garbage man helped in the discovery of the statues, which lay in mud at the ruins of an ancient spa (矿泉疗养地). Experts called it the biggest collection of ancient bronze (青铜制的) statues ever found in Italy. Some said it was a major finding that would “rewrite history”.
Researchers found the statues in 2021 and 2022 in the village of San Casciano dei Bagni. The village still has public baths in operation today. Researchers had long suspected ancient ruins could be discovered at the site. The first few attempts to locate the ancient baths, however, were unsuccessful. Then former garbage man and amateur local historian Stefano Petrini had an idea. He remembered that years earlier he had seen bits of ancient Roman columns on a wall on the other side of the public baths. When Petrini took researchers to the place, they knew they had found the right spot.
The statues found there were offerings from Romans and Etruscans who looked to the gods for good health. One of the most amazing finds was the so-called “scrawny boy”, a statue about 90 centimetres high, of a young Roman with a bone disease. A small piece of writing has his name as “Marcius Grabillo”. More unusual offerings were also among smaller objects in the discovery. These included egg shells, pine cones, medical tools and a 2,000-year-old piece of hair.
Workers permanently closed the spa about 1,600 years ago. The warm mud of the baths protected the statues. The experts say they may find another six or 12 statues noted in a document found at the site. The archaeologists think that it may have been left by Marcius Grabillo.
Petrini hopes the treasures will bring “jobs, culture and knowledge” to his village, which is struggling with depopulation like much of rural Italy. But he does not want to take credit for the discovery. “Important things always happen thanks to several people, never thanks to only one,” he said. “Never.”
8. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The main value of this discovery. B. Identities of the discoverers.
C. The process of finding the location. D. The contributions of an amateur historian.
9. What were these discovered statues mainly used for in ancient times?
A. Praying for health. B. Recording the death.
C. Treating bone diseases. D. Providing unusual offerings.
10. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The warm mud. B. The ancient site.
C. More relevant information. D. The document discovered on the spot.
11. Which of the following can best describe Stefano Petrini?
A. Persistent and ambitious. B. Enthusiastic and humble.
C. Adventurous and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and fashionable.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】

When Petrini took researchers to the place, they knew they had found the right spot.(研究人员于2021年和2022年在圣卡夏诺-代伊巴尼村发现了这些雕像。该村至今仍在运营公共浴场。长期以来,研究人员一直怀疑该遗址可能藏有古代遗迹。然而,最初几次寻找古浴场的尝试均未成功。后来,曾做过垃圾清运工的当地业余历史学家斯特凡诺·佩特里尼想到了一个办法。他回忆起多年前曾在公共浴场另一侧的一堵墙上见过古罗马立柱的碎片。当佩特里尼带研究人员前往该地时,他们知道自己找对了地方)”可知,本段主要讲述遗迹发现的过程。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The statues found there were offerings from Romans and Etruscans who looked to the gods for good health.(在那里发现的那些雕像,是罗马人和伊特鲁里亚人所献上的祭品,他们祈求神灵赐予他们健康)”可知,发现的雕像在古代主要用于祈求神灵保佑身体健康。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文中“The experts say they may find another six or 12 statues noted in a document found at the site.(专家表示,他们或许能找到该遗址出土文献中记载的另外 6 到 12 尊雕像。)”可知,画线单词it指代现场发现的文献资料。故选D。

(他说:“重要的事情总是因为多个人的努力才得以实现,而不是仅仅靠一个人的功劳。”)”可知,这位业余的历史爱好者对历史充满热情且为人谦虚,认为功劳不是他一个人的。故选B。
D
Imagine purchasing a robot to perform household tasks. This robot was built and trained in a factory on a certain set of tasks and has never seen the items in your home. When you ask it to pick up a cup from your kitchen table, it might not recognize your cup. So, the robot fails.
“Right now, the way we train these robots, when they fail, we don’t really know why. So you would just throw up your hands and say, ‘OK, I guess we have to start over.’ A critical component that is missing from this system is enabling the robot to demonstrate why it is failing so the user can give it feedback,” says Andi Peng, an electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) graduate student at MIT.
Peng and her collaborators at MIT, New York University, and the University of California at Berkeley created a framework that enables humans to quickly teach a robot what they want it to do, with a minimal amount of effort.
The researchers tested this technique in simulations and found that it could teach a robot more efficiently than other methods. The robots trained with this framework performed better, while the training process consumed less of a human’s time. More importantly, this framework could help robots learn faster in new environments without requiring a user to have technical knowledge.
Robots often fail due to distribution shift. One way to retrain a robot for a specific task is imitation learning. The user could demonstrate the correct task to teach the robot what to do. If a user tries to teach a robot to pick up a cup, but demonstrates with a white cup, the robot could learn that all cups are white. It may then fail to pick up a red or blue cup.
“We want robots to do what humans do, and we want them to do it in a meaningful way. At the end of the day, this is really about enabling a robot to learn a good, human-like representation at an abstract level,” Peng says.
12. What may the user do if his robot fails according to the text?
A. Let the robot try it again. B. Show it around his kitchen.
C. Analyse why the robot failed. D. Give feedback to robot producers.
13. What’s the most important feature about Peng’s framework?
A. It requires users to spend much time teaching robots.
B. It helps robots distinguish red cups from white cups.
C. It enables robots to adapt to new surroundings better.
D. It requires robot users to grasp technical knowledge.
14. What will robots be expected to do according to Peng?
A. Replace humans to do dangerous tasks.
B. Serve humans in a positive way.
C. Look like humans even more.
D. Obey humans’ order successfully.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots Aren’t Experienced in Household Tasks
B. Imitation Learning Is of Importance for Robots
C. Robots Can’t Completely Meet Human’s Needs
D. New Technique Upgrades Robots Who Failed to Do Tasks
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了彭及其合作者们构建的一个框架,这个技术能够升级失败机器人,通过新技术解决机器人失败问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Right now, the way we train these robots, when they fail, we don’t really know why. So you would just throw up your hands and say, ‘OK, I guess we have to start over.’ A critical component that is missing from this system is enabling the robot to demonstrate why it is failing so the user can give it feedback,” says Andi Peng, an electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) graduate student at MIT. (麻省理工学院电子工程与计算机科学专业研究生安迪·彭表示:“目前我们训练这些机器人的方式存在一个问题——当它们出现故障时,我们其实并不清楚具体原因。这种情况下,你只能束手无策,然后说‘好吧,看来我们得重新开始了’。这套系统缺少一个关键组成部分,那就是让机器人能够说明自身故障的原因,这样用户才能据此为它提供反馈。”)”可知,如果用户的机器人出现故障,可以让机器人重新开始训练。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“More importantly, this framework could help robots learn faster in new environments without requiring a user to have technical knowledge.(更重要的是,这种框架能够帮助机器人在新的环境中更快地学习,而无需用户具备技术知识。)”可知,彭的框架最重要的特点是它使得机器人能够更好地适应新的环境。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We want robots to do what humans do, and we want them to do it in a meaningful way.(我们希望机器人能够完成人类所从事的工作,并且希望这些工作能够具有一定的意义性。)”可知,彭期待机器人以积极的方式服务人类。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Imagine purchasing a robot to perform household tasks. This robot was built and trained in a factory on a certain set of tasks and has never seen the items in your home. When you ask it to pick up a cup from your kitchen table, it might not recognize your cup. So, the robot fails.(想象一下,你购买了一台机器人来承担家务任务。这台机器人是在一家工厂里按照特定的任务要求进行制造和训练的,它从未见过你家里的物品。当你让它从厨房桌子上拿起一个杯子时,它可能无法认出你的杯子。所以,机器人就无法完成任务了。)”和第三段“Peng and her collaborators at MIT, New York University, and the University of California at Berkeley created a framework that enables humans to quickly teach a robot what they want it to do, with a minimal amount of effort.(彭及其在麻省理工学院、纽约大学和加州大学伯克利分校的合作者们构建了一个框架,使得人类能够以极小的精力快速教会机器人他们希望机器人完成的任务。)”可知,文章主要介绍了彭及其合作者们构建的一个框架,这个技术能够升级失败机器人,通过新技术解决机器人失败问题。故选D。

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。
The hospital hallway was crowded with people, and the air was heavy with the smell of disinfectant (消毒剂). Nobody enjoys being in a hospital, especially the little children spending their days stuck in the ward (病房).
After another painful treatment, little George’s mum was reading him a comic book, trying to ease his pain and boredom. He turned to his mum, pointing at the superheroes in the book, and asked in a weak voice, “How can I be a superhero?” Despite the heaviness in her heart, his mother forced a smile and answered, “You’ve already shown so much courage and strength. Someday you’ll be able to help others, and that’s what will make you a superhero.” Hearing this, little George’s eyes lit up with a spark of hope. Were it not for the disease, he would have been attending school regularly and might be running around with his friends. However, his days were filled with medical routines.
That afternoon, as the window washer Jordan came down the tall building, the usual chatter of kids in the ward fell silent. They rushed to the window, their faces pressed against the cool glass, their breaths fogging up the windows. George asked with wide eyes, “Are you a superhero?”
Jordan paused for a second-he didn’t want to disappoint this little boy, but in his plain- looking work suit, he couldn’t tell a lie. He shook his head but managed to strike a heroic pose, reaching out as if to stop an invisible villain (反派), and then continued his work.
However, the simple question, accompanied by the children’s longing eyes, sent a wave of emotion through him. When he finished work, he approached the nurses and inquired about the kids’ situation. An idea occurred to him when the nurses mentioned the kids, shared love for superheroes as a form of escape and inspiration.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

The next day, Jordan arrived outside the window in a different suit.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next day, Jordan arrived outside the window in a different suit. Dressed in a costume and mask, he transformed into the superhero of every child’s dreams. He waved enthusiastically and called out, “Hey there! I have heard there are some little heroes facing tough times, and I’m here to fight alongside you!” The children’s faces lit up with joy. George, in particular, radiated hope and surprise, his frail body seemingly infused with the energy of a thousand suns. From that day on, Jordan made frequent visits, performing simple magic tricks and passing books through the window.
With frequent visits from the“Window Superhero”, the change in the ward was obvious. The once dim and dreary halls now echoed with the laughter of children. Jordan’s heartwarming visits allowed them to momentarily forget their pain, providing immense mental relief. Even the most routine procedures became more bearable for George, as if the belief in superheroes gave him the strength to endure. The stories his mother read to him came to life, planting seeds of bravery and kindness in his heart. The hospital transformed into a place where laughter was the best medicine, hope was the ultimate cure, and an ordinary person became a superhero through simple yet profound acts of kindness.
