Sammie Vance, 14, knows there’s nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench program. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says.
The idea quickly caught on. The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “that this is making a difference in people’s lives.”
Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents.
Getting approval for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says.
To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she called on her community to gather bottle caps.
Word of the project got out, and soon Sammie was getting caps from people in all 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called GreenTree Plastics was able to upcycle these into three benches.
In addition to all the kids her project has helped, Sammie is grateful for how it has changed her. “It just helped me grow in so many different aspects of my life,” she says.
Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around the country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.
Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “It can make someone’s day and lead to a chain reaction,” she says. “You never know. Just be kind, in general.”

Though you may not know it, about half a billion people worldwide depend on the ecosystems created and supported by corals. And with climate change threatening their survival, marine scientist Enric Sala had an idea that might have seemed impossible.
“We wanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere, before we started exploiting (开发) them, polluting them and killing them all over the world,” Sala said.
The idea was made possible during an expedition that Sala led in 2009. The team travelled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean and found some untouched reefs.
His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati. Then the Kiribati government took steps to protect the waters from fishing and other human activities, but between 2015 and 2016, record levels of ocean warming killed half the coral reefs the team had found.
After hearing that news, they lost hope for the health of coral reefs. But the study continued, and last year, they went in for another dive. Despite the reported conditions, Sala and his team found that the reefs had somehow restored themselves, filled with life and color once more. This resurrection is something that Sala says can be traced to two key factors.
The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died, as was previously thought. Despite the rise in temperatures, there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs.
The second factor is the Kiribati government’s decision to fully protect those waters. “There’s abundant fish species. They eat all the algae (海藻) that would smother (窒息) the corals, making it possible for the corals to come back,” Sala explained.
For him and his team, the rebirth if the coral reefs in Kiribati is a beacon of hope among so much pessimism (悲观主义) surrounding the future of reefs.
8. What made Sala’s idea possible
A. Sala led an expedition in 2009.
B. Sala took a time machine back to the past.
C. The government decided to protect the environment.
D. The team found some untouched reefs during an expedition.
9. What is not a factor contributing to the rebirth of the corals according to Sala
A. Half of the corals survived the rising temperatures.
B. Sara and her team called on people to protect the corals.
C. The government took effective measures to protect the waters.
D. The abundant fish species eat the algae that smothering the corals.
10. What does the underlined word “resurrection” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. report B. research C. restoration D. review
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Coral reefs is of great importance to the ecosystems.
B. The coral reefs restore themselves despite the ocean warming.
C. The government took effective measures to protect the coral reefs.
D. Marine scientist Enric Sala made every effort to protect the coral reefs.
D
A small town in western France has gone viral for marking a busy crossroads with overlapping (重叠的) white lines in order to confuse motorists and make them slow down.
The town of Bauné, near Angers, is home to only about 1,700 people, but it has to deal with heavy traffic on a daily basis because of its location at the crossroads between two departmental roads — D74 and D82. Some of the roughly 2,300 vehicles that pass through Bauné every day can have speeds of over 100 km/h, even though the town’s crossroads is clearly marked with signs limiting the speed at 30 km/h. In order to get drivers to slow down, local authorities came up with the idea of using confusing road markings in the form of overlapping continuous lines. Interestingly enough, the strategy worked like a charm!
Photos of the odd road markings on the busy crossroads of Bauné went viral on French social media recently and left a lot of people scratching (抓) their heads. Many people have pointed out that a continuous white line is impassable (不可通行的), so having the lines overlap and cover the entire square doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Others simply wondered why the local authorities didn’t use more traditional means of decreasing vehicle speed, like a roundabout (环形交叉路口) or traffic lights.
According to Grégoire Jauneault, deputy mayor of Loire-Authion and the person in charge of local development, the deliberately confusing road markings started working on the day they were completed, with data showing a significant decrease in motorists’ speeds. However, a part of the local community predicted that the result was only temporary and that as soon as motorists figured out the game, they would go right back to their speeding ways.
12. What’s the purpose of marking a busy crossroads with overlapping white lines
A. To make headlines on social media.
B. To reduce traffic jam at the crossroads
C. To make drivers slow down their speed.
D. To reduce the number of people crossing the crossroads.
13. What is true about the town
A. Only 1,7000 people living there.
B. The speed limit is 100 km/h at the crossroads.
C Traffic jam happens every day at the crossroads.
D. Roughly 2,300 vehicles pass through Bauné every week.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the strategy
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Opposed D. Objective
15. Where can you probably find the passage
A. In a textbook B. In the newspaper
C. In a research paper D. In a travel magazine

We usually divide a year into four seasons. However, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, there are five seasons — spring, summer, late summer, fall, and winter. Each of the five has many features which guide us to change our habits to keep the balance between our body and the external environment.
Winter in TCM
The ancient Chinese believed that winter is the Yin “阴” season in nature. ___16___ So, winter is the time of year to reflect on health, save strength and regain energy, preparing ourselves for the start of new life in the spring. Different aspects of our lives like exercise, diet and emotions can influence our health and, therefore, our well-being in winter.
___17___
In TCM theory, winter is a season to feed ourselves both spiritually and physically. Activities in the season have a turn inwards. For example, we can do more writing, reading and other soul-nourishing (滋养灵魂的) activities. Although energetic exercise should be avoided, it’s important to keep our body healthy with gentle exercise, especially outdoor activities, in which we can get fresh air and sunlight. In addition, we should also go to bed earlier to save more energy. ___18___
Foods for winter
The principle of harmony between what we eat and the season is based on hundreds of years of experience in TCM. It suggests that we embrace locally-grown and seasonable foods, which is the way nature intends us to eat. During the winter, there are many foods beneficial to us. ___19___ — pumpkins, potatoes, root vegetables, winter greens, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, and pears. Besides, hot soup, whole grains and roasted nuts also offer nourishment to feed the body in cold winter months. But always remember, moderation in all things is important.
Moods in winter
According to TCM theory, stress, depression and unresolved anger can also weaken our immune system, allowing external factors to affect our body in winter. ___20___ Meditation (冥想) and breathing techniques are particularly helpful, especially in relieving stress. TCM also offers a variety of treatments such as massage (按摩) and herbal formulas to manage our moods.
A. Activities in winter
B. Exercises in winter
C. Most of them naturally grow in this season
D. It is inactive, cold and dark, which makes us slow down.
E. If you exercise properly in winter, you can enjoy yourself.
F. Everyone can enjoy winter if they live and exercise appropriately.
G. So, keeping a good mood is especially important in this cold season.

As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.

The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says.
The idea quickly caught on. The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “that this is making a difference in people’s lives.”
Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents.
Getting approval for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says.
To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she called on her community to gather bottle caps.
Word of the project got out, and soon Sammie was getting caps from people in all 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called GreenTree Plastics was able to upcycle these into three benches.
In addition to all the kids her project has helped, Sammie is grateful for how it has changed her. “It just helped me grow in so many different aspects of my life,” she says.
Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around the country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.
Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “It can make someone’s day and lead to a chain reaction,” she says. “You never know. Just be kind, in general.”

Though you may not know it, about half a billion people worldwide depend on the ecosystems created and supported by corals. And with climate change threatening their survival, marine scientist Enric Sala had an idea that might have seemed impossible.
“We wanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere, before we started exploiting (开发) them, polluting them and killing them all over the world,” Sala said.
The idea was made possible during an expedition that Sala led in 2009. The team travelled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean and found some untouched reefs.
His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati. Then the Kiribati government took steps to protect the waters from fishing and other human activities, but between 2015 and 2016, record levels of ocean warming killed half the coral reefs the team had found.
After hearing that news, they lost hope for the health of coral reefs. But the study continued, and last year, they went in for another dive. Despite the reported conditions, Sala and his team found that the reefs had somehow restored themselves, filled with life and color once more. This resurrection is something that Sala says can be traced to two key factors.
The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died, as was previously thought. Despite the rise in temperatures, there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs.
The second factor is the Kiribati government’s decision to fully protect those waters. “There’s abundant fish species. They eat all the algae (海藻) that would smother (窒息) the corals, making it possible for the corals to come back,” Sala explained.
For him and his team, the rebirth if the coral reefs in Kiribati is a beacon of hope among so much pessimism (悲观主义) surrounding the future of reefs.
8. What made Sala’s idea possible
A. Sala led an expedition in 2009.
B. Sala took a time machine back to the past.
C. The government decided to protect the environment.
D. The team found some untouched reefs during an expedition.
9. What is not a factor contributing to the rebirth of the corals according to Sala
A. Half of the corals survived the rising temperatures.
B. Sara and her team called on people to protect the corals.
C. The government took effective measures to protect the waters.
D. The abundant fish species eat the algae that smothering the corals.
10. What does the underlined word “resurrection” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. report B. research C. restoration D. review
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Coral reefs is of great importance to the ecosystems.
B. The coral reefs restore themselves despite the ocean warming.
C. The government took effective measures to protect the coral reefs.
D. Marine scientist Enric Sala made every effort to protect the coral reefs.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了随着气候变化威胁到珊瑚的生存,海洋科学家Sala有了一个看似不可能的目标,他想和自己的团队回到过去看到原本的珊瑚礁的样子。去年潜水时,他们很开心地看到了珊瑚礁自己已恢复。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“The idea was made possible during an expedition that Sala led in 2009. The team travelled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean and found some untouched reefs.(这个想法是在2009年萨拉带领的一次探险中实现的。研究小组前往南太平洋的一个角落,发现了一些未被破坏的珊瑚礁。)”可知,探险队在一次探险中发现了一些未被破坏的珊瑚礁让 Sala的想法成为了可能。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段“The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died, as was previously thought. Despite the rise in temperatures, there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs.(首先,谢天谢地,有一半的珊瑚并没有像以前认为的那样死亡。尽管气温上升,但仍有足够的幸存珊瑚留下来帮助珊瑚礁繁殖。)”以及文章倒数第二段“The second factor is the Kiribati government’s decision to fully protect those waters. ‘There’s abundant fish species. They eat all the algae (海藻) that would smother (窒息) the corals, making it possible for the corals to come back,’ Sala explained.(第二个因素是基里巴斯政府决定全面保护这些水域。Sala解释道:‘这里有丰富的鱼类。它们吃掉所有会窒息珊瑚的藻类,使珊瑚有可能卷土重来。’)”并结合选项可知,A、C、D项文章均提过,这里都是珊瑚恢复的原因,而B项文章未提及。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段“Despite the reported conditions, Sala and his team found that the reefs had somehow restored themselves, filled with life and color once more. This resurrection is something that Sala says can be traced to two key factors.(尽管报道了这些情况,Sala和他的团队发现珊瑚礁以某种方式恢复了原状,再次充满了生命和色彩。Sala说,这种 可以追溯到两个关键因素。)”可知,这里resurrection应指代上文restore,表“恢复”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第五段“After hearing that news, they lost hope for the health of coral reefs. But the study continued, and last year, they went in for another dive. Despite the reported conditions, Sala and his team found that the reefs had somehow restored themselves, filled with life and color once more. This resurrection is something that Sala says can be traced to two key factors.(听到这个消息后,他们对珊瑚礁的健康失去了希望。但研究仍在继续,去年,他们又进行了一次潜水。尽管报道了这些情况,萨拉和他的团队发现珊瑚礁以某种方式恢复了原状,再次充满了生命和色彩。萨拉说,这种复活可以追溯到两个关键因素。)”以及上下文可知,文章主要介绍了随着气候变化威胁到珊瑚的生存,海洋科学家Sala有了一个看似不可能的目标,他想和自己的团队回到过去看到原本的珊瑚礁的样子。去年潜水时,他们很开心地看到了珊瑚礁自己已恢复。所以B项The coral reefs restore themselves despite the ocean warming(尽管海洋变暖,珊瑚礁还是恢复了原状)符合语境。故选B项。

A small town in western France has gone viral for marking a busy crossroads with overlapping (重叠的) white lines in order to confuse motorists and make them slow down.
The town of Bauné, near Angers, is home to only about 1,700 people, but it has to deal with heavy traffic on a daily basis because of its location at the crossroads between two departmental roads — D74 and D82. Some of the roughly 2,300 vehicles that pass through Bauné every day can have speeds of over 100 km/h, even though the town’s crossroads is clearly marked with signs limiting the speed at 30 km/h. In order to get drivers to slow down, local authorities came up with the idea of using confusing road markings in the form of overlapping continuous lines. Interestingly enough, the strategy worked like a charm!
Photos of the odd road markings on the busy crossroads of Bauné went viral on French social media recently and left a lot of people scratching (抓) their heads. Many people have pointed out that a continuous white line is impassable (不可通行的), so having the lines overlap and cover the entire square doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Others simply wondered why the local authorities didn’t use more traditional means of decreasing vehicle speed, like a roundabout (环形交叉路口) or traffic lights.
According to Grégoire Jauneault, deputy mayor of Loire-Authion and the person in charge of local development, the deliberately confusing road markings started working on the day they were completed, with data showing a significant decrease in motorists’ speeds. However, a part of the local community predicted that the result was only temporary and that as soon as motorists figured out the game, they would go right back to their speeding ways.
12. What’s the purpose of marking a busy crossroads with overlapping white lines
A. To make headlines on social media.
B. To reduce traffic jam at the crossroads
C. To make drivers slow down their speed.
D. To reduce the number of people crossing the crossroads.
13. What is true about the town
A. Only 1,7000 people living there.
B. The speed limit is 100 km/h at the crossroads.
C. Traffic jam happens every day at the crossroads.
D. Roughly 2,300 vehicles pass through Bauné every week.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the strategy
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Opposed D. Objective
15. Where can you probably find the passage
A. In a textbook B. In the newspaper
C. In a research paper D. In a travel magazine
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

We usually divide a year into four seasons. However, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, there are five seasons — spring, summer, late summer, fall, and winter. Each of the five has many features which guide us to change our habits to keep the balance between our body and the external environment.
Winter in TCM
The ancient Chinese believed that winter is the Yin “阴” season in nature. ___16___ So, winter is the time of year to reflect on health, save strength and regain energy, preparing ourselves for the start of new life in the spring. Different aspects of our lives like exercise, diet and emotions can influence our health and, therefore, our well-being in winter.
___17___
In TCM theory, winter is a season to feed ourselves both spiritually and physically. Activities in the season have a turn inwards. For example, we can do more writing, reading and other soul-nourishing (滋养灵魂的) activities. Although energetic exercise should be avoided, it’s important to keep our body healthy with gentle exercise, especially outdoor activities, in which we can get fresh air and sunlight. In addition, we should also go to bed earlier to save more energy. ___18___
Foods for winter
The principle of harmony between what we eat and the season is based on hundreds of years of experience in TCM. It suggests that we embrace locally-grown and seasonable foods, which is the way nature intends us to eat. During the winter, there are many foods beneficial to us. ___19___ — pumpkins, potatoes, root vegetables, winter greens, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, and pears. Besides, hot soup, whole grains and roasted nuts also offer nourishment to feed the body in cold winter months. But always remember, moderation in all things is important.
Moods in winter
According to TCM theory, stress, depression and unresolved anger can also weaken our immune system, allowing external factors to affect our body in winter. ___20___ Meditation (冥想) and breathing techniques are particularly helpful, especially in relieving stress. TCM also offers a variety of treatments such as massage (按摩) and herbal formulas to manage our moods.
A. Activities in winter
B. Exercises in winter
C. Most of them naturally grow in this season
D. It is inactive, cold and dark, which makes us slow down.
E. If you exercise properly in winter, you can enjoy yourself.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章描述了中国黑龙江省黑河市与俄罗斯布拉戈维申斯克市之间免签政策实施后,吸引俄罗斯游客到黑河享用早餐并促进当地经济发展的新闻故事。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:9月21日,黑河和俄罗斯布拉戈维申斯克之间的跨境旅行实行免签证政策后,许多俄罗斯游客涌向中国东北黑龙江省的黑河吃早餐。根据下文“September 21(9月21日)”可知下文说的是时间,根据介词的用法,在表示具体的日期的表达前需使用介词on,故填on。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:作为中国最具开拓性的边境城市之一,黑河市和俄罗斯布拉戈维申斯克市相距仅几百米,乘船7分钟即可抵达。分析句子结构,因句子表示的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,又因主语Heihe city and the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk为复数,根据主谓一致原则,系动词也应使用复数形式,故填are。
【38题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意:当地居民强调,俄罗斯的生活成本是黑河的5到6倍。根据上文“the cost of living in Russia(俄罗斯的生活成本)”以及下文“in Heihe(在黑河)”可知此处是要把俄罗斯的生活成本和黑河的生活成本进行比较,空白处应填形容词的比较级,故填higher。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们拥有丰富的新鲜优质农产品,包括蔬菜、肉类、鸡蛋和海鲜,以及价格合理的鞋类、头饰、日用百货和当地特色菜。分析句子结构,空白处为介词including,故填including。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:随着时间的推移,这些市场已成为希望体验当地真实生活方式的游客的首选目的地。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中做谓语,根据时间状语Over time可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响,谓语动词使用现在完成时,又因主语these markets为复数,故填have become。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意:深秋时节,伴随着金色的树叶和东北霜冻的到来,黑河白天的气温在-2℃到9℃之间。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中做谓语,根据上文时间状语“on September 21(在9月21日)”可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作,谓语动词使用一般过去时,故填witnessed。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:说到早餐,人们更喜欢热乎乎的汤。分析句子结构,根据空白处前面的不定冠词a可知空白处应填名词,故填preference。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:随着中俄互惠免签证团体旅游的恢复,黑河口岸出入境人员数量显著增加,带动了边境城市的经济增长。分析句子结构,the number of为固定短语,含义为“……的数量”,符合句意,故填the。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作状语使用副词修饰动词,故填significantly。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:据统计,最近的中秋、国庆假期,黑河共接待游客60多万人次,与2019年相比增长了184.9%。分析句子结构,这是一个包含定语从句的复合句,先行词为:600,000 visitors(60万人次),因先行词在定语从句中做主语指物,使用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。

47. 阅读下而材料,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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
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。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I... ” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.
