Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle. Gentile owns Ex Libris Café in Polla, a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
“My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while helping the environment,” Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative came after Gentile cooperated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to buy books for an entire class. His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy. Gentile hopes his work will continue to make the headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from the customers in Gentile’s shop who have donated money to buy a “suspended” book. The idea comes from a World War Ⅱ practice in which customers would buy two coffees; one for themselves and the other for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative. While Gentile’s program is a great way to recycle waste and get kids to read, it also brings attention to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解), which is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile’s book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
24. What is the purpose of Gentile’s program
A. To sell more books. B. To attract more customers.
C. To encourage reading and recycling. D. To collect money for a new project.
25. How did Gentile come up with the idea
A. By donating books to a local school.
B. By seeing school kids dislike reading.
C. By working with a school to recycle cans.
D. By buying a “suspended” book for a child.
26. Who pay(s) for the books in Gentile’s program
A. Some environmentalists. B. Gentile himself.
C. The government. D. His customers.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. An Italian’s reading initiative.
B. A recycling program for kids.
C. Gentile’s way of doing business.
D. A new way to deal with plastic waste.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】

The ability to solve complex math problems is one thing that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Despite this fact, some animals do seem to have at least one basic mathematical ability-they can, in a sense, count.
In the early 1900s, the horse Clever Hans drew worldwide attention in Berlin when his trainer showed that he could count and solve math problems, tapping his feet to indicate a number. However, researchers later discovered that Clever Hans didn’t actually have mathematical skills, but the horse did own impressive observation skills. That is, he was unable to answer questions that his questioners also couldn’t answer because Clever Hans was actually reading minute facial and body language clues to determine the correct responses.
While Clever Hans failed his math quiz a century ago, studies in more recent decades have shown that many species do actually have a “number sense”. In the late 1980s, researchers showed that chimpanzees (黑猩猩) could add up the number of pieces of chocolate in two food bowls (up to five pieces of chocolate in each bowl), compare it with the sum of two other food bowls, and correctly choose the larger of the two sums 90 percent of the time. Some other mammals, including lions, wolves and black bears, have also showed the ability to discriminate (辨别) between quantities — and so have animals from various other animal classes.
Some research suggests that the number sense may be something that certain animals are born with. In 2015, scientists found that baby chicks as young as 3 days old could identify smaller and larger quantities and might even think of numbers on a “number line” running from left to right, similar to humans.
Whatever the case, our number sense is not unique in the animal kingdom. In fact, it may not be something that’s reserved to just animals: Venus flytraps can also “count”.
28. How did Clever Hans give the correct answer to the math problem
A. By tapping his feet to count. B. By guessing the answer casually.
C. By turning to his trainer for help. D. By reading the questioner’s response.
29. What can chimpanzees do according to the study
A. They can tell the difference between quantities.
B. They can pass the quiz with observation skills.
C. They can choose food bowls of specific shape.
D. They can add up all pieces of chocolate in four bowls.
30 What is a Venus flytrap
A. An insect. B. A fish. C. A bird. D. A plant.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Can animals count B. Can animals use numbers
C. Animals’ mathematical training. D. Animals’ problem-solving ability.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现许多哺乳动物拥有分辨数量不同的能力，解释了相关研究开展的过程。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“That is, he was unable to answer questions that his questioners also couldn’t answer because Clever Hans was actually reading minute facial and body language clues to determine the correct responses.(也就是说，他无法回答提问者也无法回答的问题，因为聪明的汉斯实际上是通过观察细微的面部和肢体语言线索来确定正确的回答)”可知，聪明的汉斯通过阅读提问者的回答给出这道数学题的正确答案。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In the late 1980s, researchers showed that chimpanzees (黑猩猩) could add up the number of pieces of chocolate in two food bowls (up to five pieces of chocolate in each bowl), compare it with the sum of two other food bowls, and correctly choose the larger of the two sums 90 percent of the time. Some other mammals, including lions, wolves and black bears, have also showed the ability to discriminate (辨别) between quantities — and so have animals from various other animal classes.(在20世纪80年代后期，研究人员发现黑猩猩可以将两个食物碗中的巧克力块数量相加（每个碗中最多有5块巧克力），将其与其他两个食物碗的总和进行比较，并在90%的时间内正确选择两个总和中较大的那个。其他一些哺乳动物，包括狮子、狼和黑熊，也表现出了区分数量的能力——其他各种动物也有这种能力)”可知，根据这项研究，黑猩猩能分辨数量的不同。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In fact, it may not be something that’s reserved to just animals: Venus flytraps can also “count”.(事实上，这可能不仅仅是动物的专利：捕蝇草也会“数数”)”可推知，捕蝇草是一种植物。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The ability to solve complex math problems is one thing that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Despite this fact, some animals do seem to have at least one basic mathematical ability-they can, in a sense, count.(解决复杂数学问题的能力是人类区别于其他动物王国的一个特点。尽管如此，一些动物似乎至少有一种基本的数学能力——从某种意义上说，它们会数数)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现许多哺乳动物拥有分辨数量不同的能力，解释了相关研究开展的过程。可知，A选项“动物会数数吗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Researchers have tapped the brainwaves of a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man unable to speak and turned what he intended to say into sentences.
The device, created by a team at the University of California, San Francisco, analyses brainwaves to decode (解读) what a person is trying to say and then displays the text on a computer screen. The additional research will take years but the results of the current studies mark an important step toward one day bringing back more natural communication for people who can’t speak because of injuries or illnesses.
The person volunteering to test the device was a man in his late 30s who 15 years ago suffered a brainstem stroke that caused widespread paralysis and robbed him of speech. The researchers placed electrodes (电极) on the surface of the man’s brain, over the area that controls speech. A computer analysed the patterns when he attempted to say common words such as “water” or “good”, eventually becoming able to discern 50 words that could produce more than 1,000 sentences.
Started with such questions as “How are you today ” or “Are you thirsty ” the device eventually enabled the man to answer “I am very good” or “No, I am not thirsty” - not voicing the words but translating them into text. It takes about three to four seconds for the word to appear on the screen. That’s not nearly as fast as speaking but quicker than tapping out a response.
Harvard neurologists called the work a “pioneering demonstration”. They suggested improvements but said if the technology works out, it eventually could help people with injuries, strokes or illnesses like Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Next steps include ways to improve the device’s speed, accuracy and vocabulary size, and maybe one day it will allow a computer-produced voice rather than display text on a screen while testing a small group of volunteer patients.
32. What is the function of the device
A. To read one’s mind.
B. To treat brain diseases.
C. To prevent injuries or illnesses.
D To turn spoken words into text.
33. What does the underlined word “discern” in the third paragraph probably mean
A. Create. B. Recognize. C. Polish. D. Choose.
34. What is Harvard neurologists’ attitude to the technology
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
35. What can be inferred about the device in the future from the last paragraph
A. It might have new functions.
B. It might suit more patient groups.
C. It might be promoted and on sale.
D. It might show text in more languages.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究人员发明新设备，可利用一名瘫痪男子的脑电波，将他想说的话变成句子。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“The device, created by a team at the University of California, San Francisco, analyses brainwaves to decode (解读) what a person is trying to say and then displays the text on a computer screen.(该设备由加州大学旧金山分校的一个团队开发，通过分析脑电波来解码一个人想说的话，然后将文本显示在电脑屏幕上。)”可知，该设备可以读懂人的思想。故选A项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第三段“A computer analysed the patterns when he attempted to say common words such as ‘ water’ or ‘ good’, eventually becoming able to discern 50 words that could produce more than 1,000 sentences.(当他试图说出‘水’或‘好’等常见单词时，一台计算机分析了这些模式，最终能够 discern 50个单词，这些单词可以产生1000多个句子。)”可知，这里指计算机能识别这些单词，所以猜测discern表“识别”的意思。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段“Harvard neurologists called the work a‘pioneering demonstration’. They suggested improvements but said if the technology works out, it eventually could help people with injuries, strokes or illnesses like Lou Gehrig’s disease.(哈佛大学的神经学家称这项工作是‘开创性的示范’。他们建议进行改进，但表示如果这项技术成功，它最终可以帮助受伤、中风或患有Lou Gehrig病等疾病的人。)”可知，哈佛神经学家对这项技术的态度是积极的。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Next steps include ways to improve the device’s speed, accuracy and vocabulary size, and maybe one day it will allow a computer-produced voice rather than display text on a screen while testing a small group of volunteer patients.(接下来的步骤包括提高设备速度、准确性和词汇量的方法，也许有一天，它将允许在测试一小群志愿者患者时，使用计算机生成的语音，而不是在屏幕上显示文本。)”可知，该设备将来可能具有新的功能。故选A项。

The history of the school bus can date back to 1886 when the Wayne Works company made horse-drawn carriages (四轮马车) known as “ school wagons” or “kid hacks” in Indiana. ___36___
In the early 1900s, the car industry was beginning to develop fast.____37____ The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines. But the design remained mostly the same as that of the previous ones, with students sitting along the walls of the bus while facing inside.
In 1927, a man built the first bus that primarily used steel. Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows. ___38___ This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards.
Many new national standards were created, determining everything from seating designs to the famous yellow color that school buses still sport today. The reason why the color was chosen was simple. ___39___The color is especially easy to see in the early morning and evening light when school buses usually operate.
___40___ For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel (燃料) economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s.
A. Horses were easy to control.
B. Not all chose to paint their buses yellow.
C. Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings.
D. Before then, many children simply walked to school.
E. Now, school buses have had many more improvements.
F. Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety.
G. This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages.

根据上文“In the early 1900s, the car industry was beginning to develop fast.”（20世纪初，汽车工业开始迅速发展。）以及下文“The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines.”（该公司设法使其马车由发动机驱动。）由此可知，空格处应讨论汽车工业的快速发展给Wayne Works公司带来的影响。结合选项G项This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages.（这给了韦恩工厂一个改进车厢的好机会。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，G项中的“improve its carriages”与下文中的“make its carriages powered by engines”相照应。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows.”（不久，韦恩·沃克推出了第一辆全钢车身和安全玻璃窗的校车。）提到推出了第一辆校车。以及下文“This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards.”（这导致了1939年校车历史上的一个转折点，当时在曼哈顿学院组织了一次会议来制定校车标准。）提到曼哈顿学院组织了一次会议来制定校车标准。由此可知，空格处内容应和校车的安全问题有关，结合选项F项Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety.（尽管如此，家长们还是越来越担心孩子的安全。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“The reason why the color was chosen was simple.”（选择这种颜色的原因很简单。）可知，空格处内容应为解释选择该颜色其原因。结合选项C项Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings.（黄色对人类来说是非常引人注目的。）符合此推断，为对上文内容的语意递进，上下文紧密连接。故选C项。
【40题详解】
由空格处位于段首可知，应为本段的主旨句。根据下文“For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel(燃料) economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s.”（例如，已经做出了各种改变，使校车不仅更安全，而且有更好的燃油经济性，更容易驾驶，等等。在所有这些方法中，最有创意的可能是一种停车信号臂，它可以警告正在进行中的车辆，这是各州在20世纪50年代初开始要求的。）可知，本段主要讲的是列举了对校车的一系列的改进。结合选项E项Now, school buses have had many more improvements.（现在，校车有了更多的改进。）意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选E项。

67. 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。
When Dylan was just seven years old, he moved to the United States with his mother, Khadine, and his twin younger brothers. The family hoped that their new home would allow them to start over and find success. However, their dream didn’t work out exactly as they imagined it would.
Life as a single mother supporting three kids is incredibly difficult, but Khadine had a particularly difficult time after her twin sons had been diagnosed with serious heart conditions. As a result, the boys suffered from dangerous symptoms and required 24-hour care. As Khadine had to work three jobs to support her family financially, it became Dylan’s responsibility to look after his young brothers. To relieve Mom’s stress, Dylan also found a part-time job at a recreation center.
While Dylan never considered his family to be a burden to him, seeing his mother and brothers become vulnerable (脆弱的) made him determined to plan his future out correctly. He believed education was the only way out of their struggle, so he made a promise to his mother that he would be the first one in the family to go to college.
For that promise, Dylan made use of each and every minute to study while taking care of his brothers. He soon became an honor student at Henry High School and took several advanced classes to keep his grades up. The College of New Jersey was his top choice. He was determined to put that admission letter in his mother’s hands.
However, weeks before Dylan’s college entrance exam, both his family and his determination were tested again when Khadine fell ill and was unable to work for a while. Soon, the bills became unmanageable and the landlord evicted (驱逐) Dylan’s family after Khadine couldn’t pay the rent. The family had no choice but to live in the shelter. The place wasn’t an ideal place to study. It was often noisy and crowded, and the lights would go out at a certain time after 11 p.m.
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。
But Dylan continued to follow his dream.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks after his application, an envelope carrying good news arrived.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
But Dylan continued to follow his dream. During his time at the shelter, Dylan had to go to work at the recreation center after school. He then hurried back to the shelter at 9 p.m. so that he could do his homework for two hours before the lights were off. The noise didn’t bother him as he was focused on his study and the promise that he had made to his mother. All of these had continued until he finally finished the entrance exam and submitted the application to his dream college.
Weeks after his application, an envelope carrying good news arrived. It was the admission letter from the College of New Jersey! All of Dylan’s hard work proved to be worthwhile. In great excitement, he rushed back to the shelter and handed the letter over to his mother, who cried out of joy. Going through homelessness let the family know that there will always be obstacles, but now with Dylan’s great news, the future looks much brighter than before.

Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle. Gentile owns Ex Libris Café in Polla, a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
“My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while helping the environment,” Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative came after Gentile cooperated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to buy books for an entire class. His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy. Gentile hopes his work will continue to make the headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from the customers in Gentile’s shop who have donated money to buy a “suspended” book. The idea comes from a World War Ⅱ practice in which customers would buy two coffees; one for themselves and the other for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative. While Gentile’s program is a great way to recycle waste and get kids to read, it also brings attention to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解), which is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile’s book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
24. What is the purpose of Gentile’s program
A. To sell more books. B. To attract more customers.
C. To encourage reading and recycling. D. To collect money for a new project.
25. How did Gentile come up with the idea
A. By donating books to a local school.
B. By seeing school kids dislike reading.
C. By working with a school to recycle cans.
D By buying a “suspended” book for a child.
26. Who pay(s) for the books in Gentile’s program
A. Some environmentalists. B. Gentile himself.
C. The government. D. His customers.
27 What’s the text mainly about
A. An Italian’s reading initiative.
B. A recycling program for kids.
C. Gentile’s way of doing business.
D. A new way to deal with plastic waste.
C
The ability to solve complex math problems is one thing that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Despite this fact, some animals do seem to have at least one basic mathematical ability-they can, in a sense, count.
In the early 1900s, the horse Clever Hans drew worldwide attention in Berlin when his trainer showed that he could count and solve math problems, tapping his feet to indicate a number. However, researchers later discovered that Clever Hans didn’t actually have mathematical skills, but the horse did own impressive observation skills. That is, he was unable to answer questions that his questioners also couldn’t answer because Clever Hans was actually reading minute facial and body language clues to determine the correct responses.
While Clever Hans failed his math quiz a century ago, studies in more recent decades have shown that many species do actually have a “number sense”. In the late 1980s, researchers showed that chimpanzees (黑猩猩) could add up the number of pieces of chocolate in two food bowls (up to five pieces of chocolate in each bowl), compare it with the sum of two other food bowls, and correctly choose the larger of the two sums 90 percent of the time. Some other mammals, including lions, wolves and black bears, have also showed the ability to discriminate (辨别) between quantities — and so have animals from various other animal classes.
Some research suggests that the number sense may be something that certain animals are born with. In 2015, scientists found that baby chicks as young as 3 days old could identify smaller and larger quantities and might even think of numbers on a “number line” running from left to right, similar to humans.
Whatever the case, our number sense is not unique in the animal kingdom. In fact, it may not be something that’s reserved to just animals: Venus flytraps can also “count”.
28. How did Clever Hans give the correct answer to the math problem
A. By tapping his feet to count. B. By guessing the answer casually.
C. By turning to his trainer for help. D. By reading the questioner’s response.
29. What can chimpanzees do according to the study
A. They can tell the difference between quantities.
B. They can pass the quiz with observation skills.
C. They can choose food bowls of specific shape.
D. They can add up all pieces of chocolate in four bowls.
30. What is a Venus flytrap
A. An insect. B. A fish. C. A bird. D. A plant.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Can animals count B. Can animals use numbers
C. Animals’ mathematical training. D. Animals’ problem-solving ability.
D
Researchers have tapped the brainwaves of a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man unable to speak and turned what he intended to say into sentences.
The device, created by a team at the University of California, San Francisco, analyses brainwaves to decode (解读) what a person is trying to say and then displays the text on a computer screen. The additional research will take years but the results of the current studies mark an important step toward one day bringing back more natural communication for people who can’t speak because of injuries or illnesses.
The person volunteering to test the device was a man in his late 30s who 15 years ago suffered a brainstem stroke that caused widespread paralysis and robbed him of speech. The researchers placed electrodes (电极) on the surface of the man’s brain, over the area that controls speech. A computer analysed the patterns when he attempted to say common words such as “water” or “good”, eventually becoming able to discern 50 words that could produce more than 1,000 sentences.
Started with such questions as “How are you today ” or “Are you thirsty ”, the device eventually enabled the man to answer “I am very good” or “No, I am not thirsty” - not voicing the words but translating them into text. It takes about three to four seconds for the word to appear on the screen. That’s not nearly as fast as speaking but quicker than tapping out a response.
Harvard neurologists called the work a “pioneering demonstration”. They suggested improvements but said if the technology works out, it eventually could help people with injuries, strokes or illnesses like Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Next steps include ways to improve the device’s speed, accuracy and vocabulary size, and maybe one day it will allow a computer-produced voice rather than display text on a screen while testing a small group of volunteer patients.
32. What is the function of the device
A. To read one’s mind.
B. To treat brain diseases.
C. To prevent injuries or illnesses.
D. To turn spoken words into text.
33. What does the underlined word “discern” in the third paragraph probably mean
A. Create. B. Recognize. C. Polish. D. Choose.
34. What is Harvard neurologists’ attitude to the technology
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
35. What can be inferred about the device in the future from the last paragraph
A. It might have new functions.
B. It might suit more patient groups.
C. It might be promoted and on sale.
D. It might show text in more languages.

The history of the school bus can date back to 1886 when the Wayne Works company made horse-drawn carriages (四轮马车) known as “ school wagons” or “kid hacks” in Indiana. ___36___
In the early 1900s, the car industry was beginning to develop fast.____37____ The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines. But the design remained mostly the same as that of the previous ones, with students sitting along the walls of the bus while facing inside.
In 1927, a man built the first bus that primarily used steel. Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows. ___38___ This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards.
Many new national standards were created, determining everything from seating designs to the famous yellow color that school buses still sport today. The reason why the color was chosen was simple. ___39___The color is especially easy to see in the early morning and evening light when school buses usually operate.
___40___ For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel (燃料) economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s.
A. Horses were easy to control.
B. Not all chose to paint their buses yellow.
C. Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings.
D. Before then, many children simply walked to school.
E. Now, school buses have had many more improvements.
F. Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety.
G. This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages.

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 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。
When Dylan was just seven years old, he moved to the United States with his mother, Khadine, and his twin younger brothers. The family hoped that their new home would allow them to start over and find success. However, their dream didn’t work out exactly as they imagined it would.
Life as a single mother supporting three kids is incredibly difficult, but Khadine had a particularly difficult time after her twin sons had been diagnosed with serious heart conditions. As a result, the boys suffered from dangerous symptoms and required 24-hour care. As Khadine had to work three jobs to support her family financially, it became Dylan’s responsibility to look after his young brothers. To relieve Mom’s stress, Dylan also found a part-time job at a recreation center.
While Dylan never considered his family to be a burden to him, seeing his mother and brothers become vulnerable (脆弱的) made him determined to plan his future out correctly. He believed education was the only way out of their struggle, so he made a promise to his mother that he would be the first one in the family to go to college.
For that promise, Dylan made use of each and every minute to study while taking care of his brothers. He soon became an honor student at Henry High School and took several advanced classes to keep his grades up. The College of New Jersey was his top choice. He was determined to put that admission letter in his mother’s hands.
However, weeks before Dylan’s college entrance exam, both his family and his determination were tested again when Khadine fell ill and was unable to work for a while. Soon, the bills became unmanageable and the landlord evicted (驱逐) Dylan’s family after Khadine couldn’t pay the rent. The family had no choice but to live in the shelter. The place wasn’t an ideal place to study. It was often noisy and crowded, and the lights would go out at a certain time after 11 p.m.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
