【原文】W: In 1933, an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon films for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!” The duck was the now famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen.Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself. In the 1930s,40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared -- there were no more new cartoons. Clarence Nash passed away in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节;满分40分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
从每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A
In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Handler made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography,“was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor’s mother said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘ It’s time to be beautiful again.’ ”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll—she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
21. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To make a hit in the retail market.
B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women’s career choices.
D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
22. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud.
C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A medical journal. B. A charity brochure.
C. A financial report. D. A story collection.
【答案】21. D 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Handler创造芭比娃娃的初衷,以及其中一个名为Brave Barbie的洋娃娃对一个癌症女孩和其家庭的帮助。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices.(她想要一个女孩们可以投射未来梦想的娃娃,并允许无限的服装和职业选择)”和第三段的“the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.(通过这个娃娃,小女孩可以成为任何她想成为的人。芭比娃娃一直代表着女性拥有选择权的事实)”可推知, Handler创造Barbie的目的是让激励女孩根据自己的意愿做出选择。故选D。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的““Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor’s mother said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’ ””(“送给我患癌症的女儿一个芭比娃娃真是太棒了,”癌症幸存者米歇尔说,“给我的女儿一个患了癌症的芭比娃娃是一件非常美妙的事情。我们会一起玩那个芭比娃娃,我心碎地看着她假装带着芭比娃娃去医院化疗,或者把它的长假发戴在它的头上,告诉它‘是时候变漂亮了’”)”可推知,Michelle看到女儿和Brave Barbie一起感到欣慰的同时也很难过。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了Handler创造芭比娃娃的初衷,以及其中一个名为Brave Barbie的洋娃娃对一个癌症女孩和其家庭的帮助。由此推知,本文很有可能来自一本故事集。故选D。
B
When you think of Chinese food in the US, fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to your mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
24. What is the new museum exhibition mainly about
A. Cuisine of different countries. B. Exploration of famous restaurants.
C. History of Chinese immigration. D. Stories of Chinese food and cooks.
25. Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives
A. It provides a wealthy life. B. It brings a sense of belonging.
C. It helps them to accept new cultures. D. It enables them to forget the past.
26. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cuisine Gains New Variations B. Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C. Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the US D. Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纽约市一个新的博物馆展览。该展览讲述了中国食物和厨师的故事,介绍了厨房及家常菜在移民生活中起的关键作用,结合厨师Ni Biying的故事指出,家常菜为餐桌带来了更多乐趣。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.(但在纽约市举行的一个新的博物馆展览正试图扩大游客的味蕾。它的特点是拥有马丁·燕等著名厨师和家庭厨师的故事,他们的食物代表了中国18不同的地区烹饪风格)”可知,新的博物馆展览主要与中国食物和厨师的故事有关。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.(“当你来到一个新的国家时,厨房本身就是一种安慰。这是一个你把自己作为大本营的地方,你可以做一些你记得的过去的东西,”另一位组织者Audra Ang解释说)”可知,厨房可以给许多移民带来归属感,这正是厨房在许多移民的生活中起着关键作用的原因所在。故选B。
【26题详解】

C
Los Angeles native Randall Bartlett sat under the rooftop of a traditional Chinese scholar’s studio, occasionally turning a page of his book. The scene was in the reopened Liu Fang Yuan garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from books.
Phillip E. Bloom, director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies, said the idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial aim of creating a collection of Chinese plants, but after research, they realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, it was decided to model a garden on 16th and 17th century scholarly retreats(隐居处)in Suzhou.
The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens. Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful US businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. “Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle,” he added.
To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, giving rise to collaboration between US and Chinese architects, contractors and designers. In all stages of construction, artisans(工匠)from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue.
After three years of expansion from 2018 to 2020, Liu Fang Yuan reopened to the public with 4.6 hectares of new landscape, making it one of the largest classical-style Chinese gardens in the world. The additions include courtyards displaying penjing, a scholar’s studio, a pavilion(亭子)situated at the garden’s highest point, etc.
Now it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden. “A lot of volunteers come to different lectures and exhibitions about Chinese culture hat we hold regularly,” Bloom said. By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang uan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two ountries.
27. What do we know about Liu Fang Yuan
A. It used to be a scholarly retreat in Suzhou.
B. It was constructed by Suzhou artisans alone.
C. It became the largest garden after being expanded.
D. It promotes cultural exchanges between America and China.
28. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The introduction to the founder.
B. The fame of Suzhou classical gardens.
C. The features of a scholarly lifestyle.
D. The reasons for modeling a Suzhou garden.
29. What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 4 mean
A. negotiation B. cooperation C. inspiration D. contradiction
30. Why did Bloom mention local people’s interactions with the garden
A. To show its cultural significance.
B. To detail its architectural features.
C. To promote its diverse activities.
D. To boost its international fame.
【答案】27. D 28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了以中国的苏州园林为模版,美国的留芳园,在中美建筑师、承包商和设计师之间的合作上重新开放。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from books.”(对他来说,花园使他从书中学到的中国哲学生动起来。)第二段中“Phillip E. Bloom, director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies, said the idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial aim of creating a collection of Chinese plants, but after research, they realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, it was decided to model a garden on 16th and 17th century scholarly retreats(隐居处)in Suzhou.”(东亚园林研究中心(Center for East Asian Garden Studies)主任菲利普 · E · 布鲁姆(Phillip E. Bloom)表示,留芳园的创意可以追溯到20世纪80年代,最初的目标是创造一批中国植物,但经过研究后,他们意识到,仅靠植物不足以展示中国园林的精髓。最终,他们决定以16和17世纪的苏州园林为模版建造一个花园。)最后一段中“By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang uan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two ountries.”(通过让游客接触艺术和文学,留芳园超越了国际边界,弥合了两国之间的文化鸿沟。)可知,留芳园的创意来自于苏州园林的建筑艺术,同时,留芳园在促进中美之间的文化交流方面起着重要的作用。故选D。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens. Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful US businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. “Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle,” he added.”(这个决定一方面是因为苏州古典园林的名气,另一方面也是因为亨廷顿和苏州园林有相似之处。布鲁姆表示,亨廷顿图书馆创始人亨利 亨廷顿(Henry Huntington)是一位成功的美国商人,他利用自己的财富收集珍本书籍、艺术品,并创建了花园。“许多“苏州园林样式的花园”也是富人创造的,他们试图追求一种学术生活方式,”他补充说。)可知,因为亨廷顿和苏州园林有相似之处,同时因为苏州古典园林的名气,所以美国商人亨利 亨廷顿在试图追求一种学术生活方式上,采用了以苏州园林为模版来设计,建成了苏州园林样式的花园。因而本段主要讲述为什么亨廷顿花园会以苏州园林为模版来设计的原因。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, giving rise to collaboration between US and Chinese architects, contractors and designers.”(为了保持苏州园林的特色,亨廷顿图书馆向苏州寻求帮助,促成了中美建筑师、承包商和设计师之间的 collaboration。)“In all stages of construction, artisans(工匠)from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue.”(在建设的各个阶段,来自苏州的工匠会到工作的场地会参与细节问题的工作。)可知,在建设这个园林期间,来自苏州的工匠会到工作的场地会参与细节问题的工作,说明中美建筑师、承包商和设计师在这个过程中的合作,因而划线词此处指“合作”含义,故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now, it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden. ”(现在,看看当地社区的人们如何与花园互动是很有意义的。)“By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang uan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two ountries.”(通过让游客接触艺术和文学,留芳园超越了国际边界,弥合了两国之间的文化鸿沟。)可知,通过提及人们对留芳园的评价,充分说明留芳园在中美之间的文化交流方面起着重要的作用。故选A。

72. 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。
It wasn’t fair.
Aminah always studied hard, so there was nothing unusual about her receiving top marks at the end of the year. But Farhan was often playing with the village boys when he should have been studying. To help motivate him this year, their father had promised to buy him a bicycle if his grades improved.
Aminah was sure that even this generous offer wouldn’t change her brother’s habits. But when Farhan started staying home and studying, everyone was surprised.
At the end of the school year, Aminah received top marks as she always did. And, as usual, her parents gave her 100 rupees (卢比) as a reward.
For the first time, Farhan got top marks too. True to his word, their father came home with a bicycle. It was well used, and much of the paint had been chipped (脱落) off. But to Farhan, it was the most beautiful bicycle in their country. Farhan’s friends cheered when they saw it. It was understood that something as precious as a bicycle would be shared with everyone.
Well, almost everyone.
After a few days of watching Farhan and the village boys learning to ride, Aminah and her friends grew bitter. They spent afternoons on the hill just north of the village, sitting in the shade of a mango tree and watching the lazy stream flow at the foot of the hill. They could hear the boys cheering and laughing on the other side of the hill.
“Why doesn’t he let us ride, Aminah ” asked Fatima. Aminah shrugged (耸肩), trying to act as if she didn’t care.
“He and the other boys just want the bicycle all for themselves!” replied Shehnaz. Sarah shook her head. “But Aminah is his sister! He should share with her.” An older sister commanded respect.
As they talked, the boys’ screams grew closer. Aminah looked up and saw her brother on his bicycle at the top of the hill. “Look! I can do it!” Farhan yelled at the top of his lungs. He had finally gotten the hang of it. The boys cheered as he began to speed up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, Farhan lost control of the bicycle, heading in the direction of the girls, toward the stream.

Farhan looked at Aminah, then at his bicycle, then back at his sister.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Suddenly, Farhan lost control of the bicycle, heading in the direction of the girls, toward the stream. “Help! Help! I can’t control its speed,” Farhan cried at the top of his voice. So nervous and frightened was Farhan that he had no idea how to stop the bicycle. Seeing the bike running at breakneck speed toward them, all the girls but Aminah shouted with fright and then ran away to avoid being hit. However, it was at the very moment that Aminah stood in the middle of the road, trying to pull the bike to slow down with all her strength. Finally, the bike stopped with no one being hurt.
Farhan looked at Aminah, then at his bicycle, then back at his sister. He scratched his head, asking, “Aren’t you afraid of being hit ” “I could run away, but you’re my brother. I can’t leave you in danger,” Aminah replied in a determined voice. Hearing the words, he felt a sense of warmth welling up inside his body with tears of gratitude streaming down his cheeks. It hit him that he didn’t share his joy of getting the bike with his sister, let alone invite her to have a ride. Ashamed and guilty, he looked sincerely at his sister, “Would you like to have a try I can teach you how to ride.” “Sure!”, Aminah agreed with delight. All boys and girls present cheered and laughed. After that, Farhan shared everything he had with his sister.

In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Handler made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography,“was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor’s mother said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘ It’s time to be beautiful again.’ ”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll—she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
21. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To make a hit in the retail market.
B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women’s career choices.
D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
22. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud.
C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A medical journal. B. A charity brochure.
C. A financial report. D. A story collection.

When you think of Chinese food in the US, fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to your mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
24. What is the new museum exhibition mainly about
A. Cuisine of different countries. B. Exploration of famous restaurants.
C. History of Chinese immigration. D. Stories of Chinese food and cooks.
25. Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives
A. It provides a wealthy life. B. It brings a sense of belonging.
C. It helps them to accept new cultures. D. It enables them to forget the past.
26. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cuisine Gains New Variations B. Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C. Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the US D. Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
C
Los Angeles native Randall Bartlett sat under the rooftop of a traditional Chinese scholar’s studio, occasionally turning a page of his book. The scene was in the reopened Liu Fang Yuan garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from books.
Phillip E. Bloom, director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies, said the idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial aim of creating a collection of Chinese plants, but after research, they realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, it was decided to model a garden on 16th and 17th century scholarly retreats(隐居处)in Suzhou.
The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens. Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful US businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. “Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle,” he added.
To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, giving rise to collaboration between US and Chinese architects, contractors and designers. In all stages of construction, artisans(工匠)from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue.
After three years of expansion from 2018 to 2020, Liu Fang Yuan reopened to the public with 4.6 hectares of new landscape, making it one of the largest classical-style Chinese gardens in the world. The additions include courtyards displaying penjing, a scholar’s studio, a pavilion(亭子)situated at the garden’s highest point, etc.
Now, it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden. “A lot of volunteers come to different lectures and exhibitions about Chinese culture hat we hold regularly,” Bloom said. By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang uan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two ountries.
27. What do we know about Liu Fang Yuan
A. It used to be a scholarly retreat in Suzhou.
B It was constructed by Suzhou artisans alone.
C. It became the largest garden after being expanded.
D. It promotes cultural exchanges between America and China.
28. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The introduction to the founder.
B. The fame of Suzhou classical gardens.
C. The features of a scholarly lifestyle.
D. The reasons for modeling a Suzhou garden.
29. What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 4 mean
A. negotiation B. cooperation C. inspiration D. contradiction
30. Why did Bloom mention local people’s interactions with the garden
A. To show its cultural significance.
B. To detail its architectural features.
C. To promote its diverse activities.
D. To boost its international fame.

72. 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。
It wasn’t fair.
Aminah always studied hard, so there was nothing unusual about her receiving top marks at the end of the year. But Farhan was often playing with the village boys when he should have been studying. To help motivate him this year, their father had promised to buy him a bicycle if his grades improved.
Aminah was sure that even this generous offer wouldn’t change her brother’s habits. But when Farhan started staying home and studying, everyone was surprised.
At the end of the school year, Aminah received top marks as she always did. And, as usual, her parents gave her 100 rupees (卢比) as a reward.
For the first time, Farhan got top marks too. True to his word, their father came home with a bicycle. It was well used, and much of the paint had been chipped (脱落) off. But to Farhan, it was the most beautiful bicycle in their country. Farhan’s friends cheered when they saw it. It was understood that something as precious as a bicycle would be shared with everyone.
Well, almost everyone.
After a few days of watching Farhan and the village boys learning to ride, Aminah and her friends grew bitter. They spent afternoons on the hill just north of the village, sitting in the shade of a mango tree and watching the lazy stream flow at the foot of the hill. They could hear the boys cheering and laughing on the other side of the hill.
“Why doesn’t he let us ride, Aminah ” asked Fatima. Aminah shrugged (耸肩), trying to act as if she didn’t care.
“He and the other boys just want the bicycle all for themselves!” replied Shehnaz. Sarah shook her head. “But Aminah is his sister! He should share with her.” An older sister commanded respect.
As they talked, the boys’ screams grew closer. Aminah looked up and saw her brother on his bicycle at the top of the hill. “Look! I can do it!” Farhan yelled at the top of his lungs. He had finally gotten the hang of it. The boys cheered as he began to speed up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, Farhan lost control of the bicycle, heading in the direction of the girls, toward the stream.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Farhan looked at Aminah, then at his bicycle, then back at his sister.
