Jamie Whitmore, 43, isn’t used to slowing down. The professional athlete who became a gold medalist in the Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome, whether it was a mountain bike race or cancer.
One morning in 2007, Whitmore found her le g muscles were tight when going for a jog. Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race, she ignored the pain. Later at a sports camp in Arizona, she realized something was wrong. “Once I got on my bike I was so painful that it was hard to lift my legs. I flew back home to go to hospital.” What doctors found shocked them all: Whitmore had a soft tissue tumour (肿瘤) that started in the bone, and the tumour wrapped around her nerves of waist, touching several vital organs.
After the surgery, Whitmore had to learn to walk again with the help of a physical doctor. She also started radiation treatment, but four months later, doc-tors had worse news: A scan showed the cancer was back. “This time it was more aggressive. Doctors took the rest of my nerves in the waist, and removed some tumours from my tail bone.” Whitmore developed sepsis (败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. “My scans were coming back, showing I was clear of cancer, but now I had all of these other complications (并发症).”
Today, Whitmore is a mother and cancer-free. She has won a gold medal in the Paralympics, and has set two world records. Whitmore has some advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. You have to find out yourself. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000feet. You just can’t give up.”
4. What’s Whitmore’s first reaction to her leg pain
A. She was very scared. B. She thought of muscle tumour.
C. She related it to cancer. D. She thought nothing of it.
5. Who does the underlined part in Paragraph 4refer to
A. People living with disabilities. B. People short of virtues.
C. People without good luck. D. People living with cancers.
6 Which one of the following best describes Whitmore
A. Humorous and unhealthy.
B. Strong-minded and optimistic.
C. Outgoing and honest.
D Determined and naughty.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了残奥会金牌获得者杰米·惠特莫尔对山地自行车赛的坚持和与癌症抗争的经历。凭借着永不放弃的精神，她克服了种种困难，成为生活中的强者。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race, she ignored the pain (她认为自己在最后一场比赛中用力过猛，忽略了疼痛)”可知，惠特莫尔对腿痛的第一反应是觉得没有大碍，故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句前一句中的“She has won a gold medal in the Paralympics, and has set two world records. (她在残奥会上获得了一枚金牌，并创造了两项世界纪录。)”以及第一段中“The professional athlete who became a gold medalist in the Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome(这位成为残疾人奥运会金牌得主的职业运动员从未遇到过她无法克服的挑战)”可知，惠特莫尔虽然是残疾人，但是赢得了残奥会金牌，由此可推断划线单词所在句子的意思是“惠特莫尔对其他有局限性的人有一些建议：“永远不要让任何人告诉你你能做什么，不能做什么。”此处指的是她想给同她一样的残疾人一些忠告。因此，第四段下划线部分指的是“残疾人”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的““Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. You have to find out yourself. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000feet. You just can’t give up.”(“永远不要让任何人告诉你你能做什么，不能做什么。你必须自己弄清楚。一些医生告诉我，除了固定自行车，我永远不会骑其他东西。然而，我骑着山地自行车从9000英尺爬到了14000英尺，走了104英里。你不能放弃。”)”并结合全文内容可推断，惠特莫尔是一位意志坚强且乐观的人。故选B。
C
Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
7. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.
C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
8. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds.
C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes.
9. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A. How far they are able to see.
B. How they track moving objects.
C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
10. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-Sorters
【答案】7. B 8. C 9. D 10. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种原产于澳大拉西亚的会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. ”（虽然人们不知道这些鸟在野外会使用工具，但事实证明，它们在关在笼子里时就能熟练地使用工具）根据第二段第三句“In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. ”(在实验中，戈芬的鹦鹉能够在大多数情况下仅通过视觉识别来选择合适的工具。)可知，凤头鹦鹉在实验中用工具从盒子里取坚果。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age ”(在人类身上，婴儿从一岁左右就可以把一个圆形的物品放进一个圆形的洞里)可知，一岁儿童最有可能完成“将一个球放进一个圆形的洞里”的任务。故选C。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues, or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.”(根据研究人员的说法，下一步是尝试弄清楚凤头鹦鹉是完全依靠视觉线索，还是也使用触觉来选择形状)可知，后续测试的目的是了解凤头鹦鹉在测试中是否使用触觉。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Coffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. ”(戈芬的凤头鹦鹉是一种原产于大洋洲的小鹦鹉，它的形状识别能力与两岁的人类相似)可知，文章主要介绍了一种会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。故选D。

Resolving (解决) Conflict in Friendships
Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships.___11___ That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately, even when the friendship reaches a deeper level, conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship. Here are some resolutions.
Resolve it the day it happens. One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don't go to bed angry with each other. They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning, it's a fresh start with no past grudge (怨恨). I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger.___12___ Whatever you do, don't let things ride for too long.
___13___ Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. For example, you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower. You may be frustrated with him or her for not being very decisive. Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated.
Initiate resolution. ___14___ Even when you think the other person is wrong，it's not a bad thing to say "I'm sorry if I offended you in that way." If you're honest and genuine in delivering your words, there's a good chance your friend will respond positively.
Most importantly, be loving in what you do. Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement. It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship. ___15___
A. Don't expect too much.
B. Try to see the other person's perspective.
C. Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.
D. Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.
E. To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution.
F. However, it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.
G. For some, counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option.
【答案】11. D 12. G 13. B 14. C 15. F
【解析】

Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.(许多肤浅的友谊在一次争吵后都被毁掉了。)”符合逻辑以及语境，下文的that指代选项提到这件事。故选D。
【12题详解】
根据前一句“I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger (我发现我需要一个短暂的冷静期，这样我才不会生气)”可知，句中的“a short cool down period (一个短暂的冷静期)”与G项中的“counting to one hundred before saying anything (数到一百再说话)”对应， 选项G. However,it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.(然而，对有些人来说，数到一百再说话可能是一种选择)符合逻辑以及语境，故选G。
【13题详解】
设空处为本段主旨句。根据下一句“Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over,you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. (有时候，如果你坐下来好好谈一谈，你就会发现对方是从哪里来的.认识到每个人都有不同的天赋、能力和个性特征。)”可知,本段建议从他人的角度来看问题。B项Try to see the other person's perspective.(试着从对方的角度看问。)可以作为主旨句，故选B。
【14题详解】
根据下一句“Even when you think the other person is wrong,it's not a bad thing to say"I'm sorry if I offended you in that way. (即使你认为对方错了，说“如果我那样冒犯了你，我很抱歉”也不是坏事)”可知，句中的“I'm sorry (我很抱歉)”与C项中的“say sorry (道歉)”对应，C项Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.(在战斗中做第一个为你的角色道歉的人)内容相关，符合语境，故选C。
【15题详解】

【答案】to blame
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：一些社交应用公司应该受到指责，因为它们没有充分审核用户的注册程序。be to blame应受责备，应负责任；在意义上等于 deserve to be blamed，即某人该受到责备。故填to blame。
42. ________(apparent), the teacher is not satisfied with your progress. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】Apparently
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：显然，老师对你的进步不满意。分析句子可知，设空处需要副词apparently修饰整个句子，位于句首首字母大写。故填Apparently。
43. There’s a clear ______ (distinct) between the dialects spoken in the two regions. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】distinction
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：这两个地区所讲的方言有明显的差别。形容词后加名词，前面的不定冠词后面用名词单数。故填distinction。
44. We mustn’t ________ (loose) the seat belt when we drive. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】loosen
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：我们开车时一定不能松开安全带。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，结合空前mustn’t为情态动词可知，此处为动词原形。故填loosen。
45. Look! Quantities of food he bought last night ________(be)on the table. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】are
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：看！他昨晚买的食物在桌子上。分析句子可知，设空处是主句的谓语部分，根据前面的Look可知，此处表示现在的状态，应使用一般现在时，主语部分带有Quantities of，be动词应使用are。故填are。

【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：中国的科学研究能够传播到世界各地是一种荣誉。分析句子可知，设空处是定语修饰名词research，应使用形容词scientific。故填scientific。
47. Listening is an active, not a passive, behaviour ________(consist)of hearing, understanding and remembering. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】consisting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：倾听是一种由倾听、理解和记忆组成的主动而非被动的行为。句子谓语动词是系动词is，空格处需要填入非谓语动词，consist of“由……组成”只有主动形式，故用现在分词作后置定语。故填consisting。
48. It seemed that I had become________ my parents had wanted me to be. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：似乎我已经成为了我父母希望我成为的样子。分析句子结构可知，空处引导表语从句，表语从句中缺少be的表语，根据句意可知，我似乎成了父母希望的“样子”，所以需要what引导。故填what。
49. All of the people are trying to build a fully ________ (integrate) society. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】integrated
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：所有人都在努力建设一个完全和谐的社会。设空处作定语修饰名词society，形容词integrated“各部分密切协调的，融合的”符合句意。故填integrated。
50. It was the first time that he ________ (lose) his lovely dog. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had lost
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：这是他第一次失去他那只可爱的狗。句型“It is/was the +序数词 time that…”表示“是某人第几次做某事”，如果主句谓语动词是is，that从句用现在完成时；如果主句谓语动词是was，that从句用过去完成时；本句中that从句用过去完成时，故填had lost。
51. Much to my parents’ ________, I have made ________ progress in my studies (astonish). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】 ①. astonishment ②. astonishing
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和形容词。句意：令我父母惊讶的是，我在学习上取得了惊人的进步。to one’s astonishment是固定短语，意为“令某人吃惊的是”；第二空处提示词作定语，用-ing形容词astonishing修饰名词progress，意为“惊人的，令人惊讶的”。故填astonishment；astonishing。
52. ________ a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents that they have no ________(dependent)thoughts or creative ideas. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】 ①. As ②. independent
【解析】

53. 他来到杭州，感到舒服自在。
He turned up in Hangzhou, ________ ________ ________.
【答案】 ①. feeling ②. at ③. home
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和非谓语动词。根据句意以及句子结构可知，此处为动词短语feel at home“感到舒适和放松”，满足句意要求，结合句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，feel和逻辑主语He为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故分别填feeling；at；home。
54. 正是我首次从空中看到的这个岛的景色使我叹赏不已。
It was my first view of the island from the air ________ ________ my ________ ________.
【答案】 ①. that ②. took ③. breath ④. away
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、时态和强调句。分析句子可知，本句话使用的是强调句结构it is/was+被强调部分+that+其余部分，第一空格处缺少的是连接词“that”；表示“使……叹赏不已”是动词短语take one’s breath away，是句子的谓语动词，根据前面的was可知，应使用一般过去时。故填that；took；breath；away。
55. 有种迫切需要，我们必须毫不迟疑地采取行动保护濒危动物。
There is an ________ ________ that we must take action to protect endangered animals ________ ________.
【答案】 ①. urgent ②. need ③. without ④. delay

The Student Union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
I’m Li Hua, president of the Student Union. Given the decline in our physical activity levels with winter approaching, I appeal to all of the students to take more exercise.
It is universally recognized that exercise is of great significance to physical and mental health. In addition to boosting our immune system, taking regular exercise enhances our concentration and reduces stress coming from study. To encourage everyone to live a more active life, I recommend engaging in jogging and skipping rope, which are cost-effective ways to enhance endurance and maintain a healthy weight. Another recommendation is playing basketball, which not only provides a full-body workout but also cultivates team spirit during the play.
Come on! Let’s collectively prioritize our well-being by dedicating time to exercise, achieving excellence in both our academic and physical pursuits.

第三节（满分25分）
57. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A boy named Ali had a large and harmonious family, happily living with his sisters, parents and grandmother. His grandmother loved everyone a lot and was respected by all family members. She was very old, but sometimes she would recall things from her past and share with them. Sometimes they would believe her but at other times they would think that Granny might be mixing up the facts due to her old age.
One day, when Ali was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织), Granny remembered something and she couldn’t contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son — Ali’s father. She walked as fast as she could to his room and said, “You always asked about my birth date, but do you know today is the day when I was born ”
She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an immediate response. However, her son wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he didn’t pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son’s reaction, Granny then went to Ali’s mother and Ali’s sister, but like Ali’s father, nobody believed her.
Sadly, she went and sat in the terrace (庭院). When Ali returned from his school, he found his grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Ali asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion she finally told him what was troubling her — nobody seemed to care that it was her birthday today!
After hearing what Granny said, Ali thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Ali’s friends were playing nearby so he shared his plan with them.
His friends were all willing to help Ali achieve what he planned.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ali was so happy to see his granny with tears of joy shining in her eyes
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 His friends were all willing to help Ali achieve what he planned. With Ali acting as the director, stage designer and host, preparation for a performance stage was soon finished. Afterwards, a series of eye-catching performances, ranging from dancing, crosstalk, acrobatics and magic tricks were given by Ali’s friends. By this time, the audience had expanded from granny to Ali’s whole family, all of whom gave thunderous applause to the carefully staged shows. Towards the end, a huge banner saying ‘Happy Birthday, granny!’ was put up on the central stage, which pushed the warm and loving atmosphere to its peak.
Ali was so happy to see his granny with tears of joy shining in her eyes. “For all my life, I have… never spent… my birthday with so many… relatives and… lovely kids. Thank you, Ali and all of you kids.” Granny stammered, choking up with gratitude and bliss. “Never mind, granny!” Ali grinned, knowing deep down that the real reason for granny’s tears was not the party itself, but love, care and trust from her family members, which she believed were gone when they reacted indifferently to her ‘made-up’ birthday.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ali的祖母年纪很大了，她经常会回忆起过去的事情和家人们分享。有一次祖母想起今天是她的生日，但是家人们都不相信她，认为她记错了，祖母很伤心，Ali放学回来后知道了这件事，想出了一个计划，并把计划告诉了附近的一些朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他朋友们都愿意帮助Ali实现他的计划。”可知，第一段可描写Ali的朋友是如何帮助他实现计划的。
②由第二段首句内容“Ali很高兴看到他的奶奶眼里闪烁着喜悦的泪水。”可知，第二段可描写祖母的反应以及Ali的感悟。

Jamie Whitmore, 43, isn’t used to slowing down. The professional athlete who became a gold medalist in the Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome, whether it was a mountain bike race or cancer.
One morning in 2007, Whitmore found her le g muscles were tight when going for a jog. Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race, she ignored the pain. Later at a sports camp in Arizona, she realized something was wrong. “Once I got on my bike I was so painful that it was hard to lift my legs. I flew back home to go to hospital.” What doctors found shocked them all: Whitmore had a soft tissue tumour (肿瘤) that started in the bone, and the tumour wrapped around her nerves of waist, touching several vital organs.
After the surgery, Whitmore had to learn to walk again with the help of a physical doctor. She also started radiation treatment, but four months later, doc-tors had worse news: A scan showed the cancer was back. “This time it was more aggressive. Doctors took the rest of my nerves in the waist, and removed some tumours from my tail bone.” Whitmore developed sepsis (败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. “My scans were coming back, showing I was clear of cancer, but now I had all of these other complications (并发症).”
Today, Whitmore is a mother and cancer-free. She has won a gold medal in the Paralympics, and has set two world records. Whitmore has some advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. You have to find out yourself. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000feet. You just can’t give up.”

Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
7. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.
C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
8. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds.
C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes.
9. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A. How far they are able to see.
B. How they track moving objects.
C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
10. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-Sorters

Resolving (解决) Conflict in Friendships
Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships.___11___ That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately, even when the friendship reaches a deeper level, conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship. Here are some resolutions.
Resolve it the day it happens. One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don't go to bed angry with each other. They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning, it's a fresh start with no past grudge (怨恨). I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger.___12___ Whatever you do, don't let things ride for too long.
___13___ Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. For example, you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower. You may be frustrated with him or her for not being very decisive. Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated.
Initiate resolution. ___14___ Even when you think the other person is wrong，it's not a bad thing to say "I'm sorry if I offended you in that way." If you're honest and genuine in delivering your words, there's a good chance your friend will respond positively.
Most importantly, be loving in what you do. Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement. It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship. ___15___
A. Don't expect too much.
B. Try to see the other person's perspective.
C. Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.
D. Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.
E. To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution.
F. However, it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.
G. For some, counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option.

第三节（满分25分）
57. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A boy named Ali had a large and harmonious family, happily living with his sisters, parents and grandmother. His grandmother loved everyone a lot and was respected by all family members. She was very old, but sometimes she would recall things from her past and share with them. Sometimes they would believe her but at other times they would think that Granny might be mixing up the facts due to her old age.
One day, when Ali was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织), Granny remembered something and she couldn’t contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son — Ali’s father. She walked as fast as she could to his room and said, “You always asked about my birth date, but do you know today is the day when I was born ”
She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an immediate response. However, her son wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he didn’t pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son’s reaction, Granny then went to Ali’s mother and Ali’s sister, but like Ali’s father, nobody believed her.
Sadly, she went and sat in the terrace (庭院). When Ali returned from his school, he found his grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Ali asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion she finally told him what was troubling her — nobody seemed to care that it was her birthday today!
After hearing what Granny said, Ali thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Ali’s friends were playing nearby so he shared his plan with them.
His friends were all willing to help Ali achieve what he planned.
