As a 1990s kid, I grew up in an era before smartphones and social media. I am thankful that my teenage years went without the additional problem of social media and all the pressures that come with it. I am also, for this same reason, concerned about my daughter and other children growing up in this era in which appearances matter so much, and people are admired simply based on the number of their social media followers.
It’s been almost a year now since my last post on Instagram or Facebook. While I was on the social media platforms, they became my default (默认) go to whenever I felt myself getting bored, or with extra time on my hands. This would cure me of my boredom. As soon as I stopped scrolling (上下滚动) on social media, however, I realized that knowing when I am bored is invaluable. It helped me realize that I need to be doing more meaningful things with my time. I have read more books this year than during any other year in my life so far.
I recall when I was on social media the urge to take one perfect picture wherever we went. “It could be my next display cover image on Facebook,” I would think. Or, “This would look so good on Instagram!” I’d say, while handing my husband the phone to take the perfect photograph. This would take much of the joy out of the experience, and cause me to question my own motivations. Am I doing this to gain appreciation from people who are practically strangers to me, or for my own enjoyment Now I make memories less by recording every moment, and more by living it.
24. Why does the author worry about children in this era
A. They have trouble in handling social pressures.
B. They have boring childhood and teenager years.
C. They take advantage of smartphones at an early age.
D. They are affected by negative effects of social media.
25. What does the author think of boredom
A. It is a necessary part of personal growth. B. It should be avoided by reading more books.
C. It has potential for being used in a better way. D. It is mainly caused by frequent social activities.
26. What is the author’s current approach to making memories
A. Recording every moment through taking photography.
B. Prioritizing personal enjoyment over social media life.
C. Seeking appreciation from friends and family online.
D. Sharing experiences on various social media platforms.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. How I quit social media eventually B. Life before social media and after it
C. What quitting social media taught me D. My experience as a social media influencer
C
A start-up based in England has won one of the world’s most significant awards for improving the health of the oceans, thanks to its pioneering work on a groundbreaking solution to catching and recycling microfibres (微纤维) filtered out from washing machines.
Competing against 200 businesses from 54 countries, the British green-tech business Cleaner Seas Group (CSG) succeeded in winning the international Ocean Impact Pitchfest Award in Australia in November 2023 with its IndiTM home microfibre filter.
Since it was launched, CSG’s IndiTM home microfibre filter has been making significant waves. Dave Miller, CEO of CSG, said, “It has been a fantastic year for us. We are at a hugely exciting growth stage. Increased awareness of the need for microplastic reduction presents a huge opportunity for us to make a difference.”
Dave Miller adds, “Everyone in the company has a personal connection to the ocean. We are surfers and wild swimmers and we feel enthusiastic about keeping the oceans free of microplastics. Our filter technology has the potential to significantly reduce microfibre pollution, helping to reduce the microplastic in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe.”
James Sirmon, technical director of CSG, explained, “Our filter cartridge (盒子) contains a roll of microfibre-collecting filter paper. The in-built sensor technology detects when each section of the filter paper is full. A warning light system indicates when the cartridge or batteries need replacing or when a filter unit doesn’t work. We have designed the product to fit all washing machines worldwide, so it is a global solution for a global problem.”
Tim Silverwood, co-founder at Ocean Impact Organisation said: “The team at CSG should be enormously proud of this achievement. We look forward to seeing their future impact across the globe. The future looks bright for CSG!”
28. What can be learned about CSG
A. It is based in Australia. B. It is a recycling center.
C. It has branches in 54 countries. D. It is a newly-founded company.
29. The underlined words in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.
A. following the trend. B. breaking new ground.
C. playing it in safety. D. Causing great troubles.
30. Why does Dave Miller mention his workmates in paragraph 4
A. To explain how they put lots of effort into the filter.
B. To prove they have great potential to do big things.
C. To stress everyone is inseparable from the ocean.
D. To show they’ re enthusiastic about their company.
31. How does the microfibre filter work according to James Sirmon
A. It is driven by wind power. B. It has a fault alarm indicator.
C. It has a roll of toilet paper inside. D. It is designed for certain machines.
D
Decades’ worth of research links physical activity with positive changes in the brain. In children, for example, physical activity is associated with better cognitive (认知) performance. Studies on older adults show that regular exercise reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). And imaging studies confirm that the volume of the hippocampus—a brain region associated with memory and mental mapping— is larger in individuals who are more physically active compared to those who spend a lot of time sitting down.
Around 2002, scientists began to realize moving muscles produced molecules (分子) that get released into the bloodstream and provide benefits to faraway organs. In 2012 Bruce Spiegelman, a cell biologist, and his workmates discovered irisin, a new type of molecule released by exercised muscles. When muscle cells produce irisin, it increases levels of another protein called brain- derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus.
Just last year Wrann, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital, tested irisin’s role in exercise and cognitive function. Her team compared mice who were genetically engineered to lack iris in with mice who could still produce the molecule. After exercise, the normal mice performed better on a task that relied on cognitive skills. The mice lacking irisin didn’t show this same improvement.
When Wrann’s team examined the mice’s brains, they saw that both groups of mice produced neurons (神经元) in response to exercise. When the gene to produce irisin was returned to the brains of mice lacking the protein, the mice also performed better on the same task.
Irisin has an identical molecular structure in mice and humans, Wrann says, which suggests that it serves similar functions in both species, and so the findings may have practical applications in medicine. From the perspective of drug development, “irisin certainly is promising, especially given the data about its effect in human brain.” says Christoph Handschin, a muscle researcher and professor of pharmocology (药理学) .
32. What do the findings in paragraph 1 show
A. Exercise has great benefits to our brain. B. The brain is changing all through our life.
C. Physical activity is key to fighting Alzheimer’s. D. The hippocampus has little to do with cognition.
33. What can we learn about irisin from paragraph 2
A. It governs human exercise. B. It is a special type of BDNF.
C. It increases the volume of BDNF. D. It is mainly produced by the brain.
34. What has Wrann’s team concluded from their experiment
A. Irisin promotes cognitive ability. B. Certain genes are in charge of irisin.
C. Neurons are only produced in exercise. D. Some mice are unable to produce irisin.
35. Which statement might both Wrann and Handschin agree with
A. It seems risky to use irisin to treat human patients.
B. It is possible to discover more functions for irisin.
C. Irisin found in mice and humans differs enormously.
D. Irisin may be used to improve human brain function.

On my twelfth birthday, my mother handed me a square box, saying it was something I had wanted for a long time. Excitedly, I opened it to find a fluffy, white puppy (小狗) inside. Overjoyed, I named her Snowball. I started to train Snowball right away, having her walk by my side on a leash (拴狗的皮带). I decided to take her for a short walk down a nearby, quiet lane.
As we turned into the lane, we saw an old woman in her yard. She noticed my new dog and introduced herself as Alice, approaching us while dragging an aluminum canister (铝罐) on wheels. Sitting near her gate, she explained that the machine helped her breathe. I tried not to stare.
“What is this little one’s name ” she asked.
I picked up my puppy and placed her on Alice’s lap. “Her name is Snowball and mine is Jamie,” I replied. “I just got her for my birthday today!”
“It’s very nice to meet you, Jamie and Snowball, and a very Happy Birthday to you,” Alice said. Soon Alice had lost herself, snuggling (依偎) with Snowball. With Alice’s eyes closed, I felt it was okay to study her breathing machine. It reminded me of something out of a science fiction book. When I looked back at Alice, I saw her petting the calm dog and softly singing to her. As I watched, I saw tears roll slowly down Alice’s cheeks.
I asked what was wrong and she explained that holding my dog reminded her of the dog she had years ago. She then returned my dog, expressing her love for little dogs and hoping we would visit again. However, I thought to myself that I wouldn’t return, not wanting to see her with her scary breathing machine.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I lay awake for a long time that night.

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。
On my twelfth birthday, my mother handed me a square box, saying it was something I had wanted for a long time. Excitedly, I opened it to find a fluffy, white puppy (小狗) inside. Overjoyed, I named her Snowball. I started to train Snowball right away, having her walk by my side on a leash (拴狗的皮带). I decided to take her for a short walk down a nearby, quiet lane.
As we turned into the lane, we saw an old woman in her yard. She noticed my new dog and introduced herself as Alice, approaching us while dragging an aluminum canister (铝罐) on wheels. Sitting near her gate, she explained that the machine helped her breathe. I tried not to stare.
“What is this little one’s name ” she asked.
I picked up my puppy and placed her on Alice’s lap. “Her name is Snowball and mine is Jamie,” I replied. “I just got her for my birthday today!”
“It’s very nice to meet you, Jamie and Snowball, and a very Happy Birthday to you,” Alice said. Soon Alice had lost herself, snuggling (依偎) with Snowball. With Alice’s eyes closed, I felt it was okay to study her breathing machine. It reminded me of something out of a science fiction book. When I looked back at Alice, I saw her petting the calm dog and softly singing to her. As I watched, I saw tears roll slowly down Alice’s cheeks.
I asked what was wrong, and she explained that holding my dog reminded her of the dog she had years ago. She then returned my dog, expressing her love for little dogs and hoping we would visit again. However, I thought to myself that I wouldn’t return, not wanting to see her with her scary breathing machine.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I lay awake for a long time that night.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning I tied Snowball to her leash and took a turn into the lane where Alice lived.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I lay awake for a long time that night. Snowball snuggled at my feet, softly snoring, while my mind was anything but settled. Alice’s smiling face and the deep loneliness in her eyes kept replaying in my head. Although I really didn’t want to go back to that place with the noise of her breathing machine weighing me down, a sense of responsibility and sympathy for Alice weighed heavier. I recalled how gently Alice had petted Snowball, her soft humming still echoing in my ears. Seeing the tears roll down her cheeks made me realize how painful her past losses must have been. I decided to visit her again.
The next morning I tied Snowball to her leash and took a turn into the lane where Alice lived. As we approached Alice’s house, my heart started to race. I was still afraid to hear the unsettling sound of her breathing machine. But when I saw Alice sitting in her small yard, my heart softened. Alice’s eyes shone with tears as she gently petted Snowball. “Thank you, Jamie,” Alice said softly, her voice filled with gratitude. “You’ve made my morning so special.” I suddenly realized that sometimes giving a bit of time and care could bring great happiness to someone else.

As a 1990s kid, I grew up in an era before smartphones and social media. I am thankful that my teenage years went without the additional problem of social media and all the pressures that come with it. I am also, for this same reason, concerned about my daughter and other children growing up in this era in which appearances matter so much, and people are admired simply based on the number of their social media followers.
It’s been almost a year now since my last post on Instagram or Facebook. While I was on the social media platforms, they became my default (默认) go to whenever I felt myself getting bored, or with extra time on my hands. This would cure me of my boredom. As soon as I stopped scrolling (上下滚动) on social media, however, I realized that knowing when I am bored is invaluable. It helped me realize that I need to be doing more meaningful things with my time. I have read more books this year than during any other year in my life so far.
I recall when I was on social media the urge to take one perfect picture wherever we went. “It could be my next display cover image on Facebook,” I would think. Or, “This would look so good on Instagram!” I’d say, while handing my husband the phone to take the perfect photograph. This would take much of the joy out of the experience, and cause me to question my own motivations. Am I doing this to gain appreciation from people who are practically strangers to me, or for my own enjoyment Now I make memories less by recording every moment, and more by living it.
24. Why does the author worry about children in this era
A. They have trouble in handling social pressures.
B. They have boring childhood and teenager years.
C. They take advantage of smartphones at an early age.
D. They are affected by negative effects of social media.
25. What does the author think of boredom
A. It is a necessary part of personal growth. B. It should be avoided by reading more books.
C. It has potential for being used in a better way. D. It is mainly caused by frequent social activities.
26. What is the author’s current approach to making memories
A. Recording every moment through taking photography.
B. Prioritizing personal enjoyment over social media life.
C. Seeking appreciation from friends and family online.
D. Sharing experiences on various social media platforms.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. How I quit social media eventually B. Life before social media and after it
C. What quitting social media taught me D. My experience as a social media influencer
C
A start-up based in England has won one of the world’s most significant awards for improving the health of the oceans, thanks to its pioneering work on a groundbreaking solution to catching and recycling microfibres (微纤维) filtered out from washing machines.
Competing against 200 businesses from 54 countries, the British green-tech business Cleaner Seas Group (CSG) succeeded in winning the international Ocean Impact Pitchfest Award in Australia in November 2023 with its IndiTM home microfibre filter.
Since it was launched, CSG’s IndiTM home microfibre filter has been making significant waves. Dave Miller, CEO of CSG, said, “It has been a fantastic year for us. We are at a hugely exciting growth stage. Increased awareness of the need for microplastic reduction presents a huge opportunity for us to make a difference.”
Dave Miller adds, “Everyone in the company has a personal connection to the ocean. We are surfers and wild swimmers and we feel enthusiastic about keeping the oceans free of microplastics. Our filter technology has the potential to significantly reduce microfibre pollution, helping to reduce the microplastic in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe.”
James Sirmon, technical director of CSG, explained, “Our filter cartridge (盒子) contains a roll of microfibre-collecting filter paper. The in-built sensor technology detects when each section of the filter paper is full. A warning light system indicates when the cartridge or batteries need replacing or when a filter unit doesn’t work. We have designed the product to fit all washing machines worldwide, so it is a global solution for a global problem.”
Tim Silverwood, co-founder at Ocean Impact Organisation said: “The team at CSG should be enormously proud of this achievement. We look forward to seeing their future impact across the globe. The future looks bright for CSG!”
28. What can be learned about CSG
A. It is based in Australia. B. It is a recycling center.
C. It has branches in 54 countries. D. It is a newly-founded company.
29. The underlined words in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.
A. following the trend. B. breaking new ground.
C. playing it in safety. D. Causing great troubles.
30. Why does Dave Miller mention his workmates in paragraph 4
A. To explain how they put lots of effort into the filter.
B. To prove they have great potential to do big things.
C. To stress everyone is inseparable from the ocean.
D. To show they’ re enthusiastic about their company.
31. How does the microfibre filter work according to James Sirmon
A. It is driven by wind power. B. It has a fault alarm indicator.
C. It has a roll of toilet paper inside. D. It is designed for certain machines.
D
Decades’ worth of research links physical activity with positive changes in the brain. In children, for example, physical activity is associated with better cognitive (认知) performance. Studies on older adults show that regular exercise reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). And imaging studies confirm that the volume of the hippocampus—a brain region associated with memory and mental mapping— is larger in individuals who are more physically active compared to those who spend a lot of time sitting down.
Around 2002, scientists began to realize moving muscles produced molecules (分子) that get released into the bloodstream and provide benefits to faraway organs. In 2012 Bruce Spiegelman, a cell biologist, and his workmates discovered irisin, a new type of molecule released by exercised muscles. When muscle cells produce irisin, it increases levels of another protein called brain- derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus.
Just last year Wrann, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital, tested irisin’s role in exercise and cognitive function. Her team compared mice who were genetically engineered to lack iris in with mice who could still produce the molecule. After exercise, the normal mice performed better on a task that relied on cognitive skills. The mice lacking irisin didn’t show this same improvement.
When Wrann’s team examined the mice’s brains, they saw that both groups of mice produced neurons (神经元) in response to exercise. When the gene to produce irisin was returned to the brains of mice lacking the protein, the mice also performed better on the same task.
Irisin has an identical molecular structure in mice and humans, Wrann says, which suggests that it serves similar functions in both species, and so the findings may have practical applications in medicine. From the perspective of drug development, “irisin certainly is promising, especially given the data about its effect in human brain.” says Christoph Handschin, a muscle researcher and professor of pharmocology (药理学) .
32. What do the findings in paragraph 1 show
A. Exercise has great benefits to our brain. B. The brain is changing all through our life.
C. Physical activity is key to fighting Alzheimer’s. D. The hippocampus has little to do with cognition.
33. What can we learn about irisin from paragraph 2
A. It governs human exercise. B. It is a special type of BDNF.
C. It increases the volume of BDNF. D. It is mainly produced by the brain.
34. What has Wrann’s team concluded from their experiment
A. Irisin promotes cognitive ability. B. Certain genes are in charge of irisin.
C. Neurons are only produced in exercise. D. Some mice are unable to produce irisin.
35. Which statement might both Wrann and Handschin agree with
A. It seems risky to use irisin to treat human patients.
B. It is possible to discover more functions for irisin.
C. Irisin found in mice and humans differs enormously.
D. Irisin may be used to improve human brain function.

As a 1990s kid, I grew up in an era before smartphones and social media. I am thankful that my teenage years went without the additional problem of social media and all the pressures that come with it. I am also, for this same reason, concerned about my daughter and other children growing up in this era in which appearances matter so much, and people are admired simply based on the number of their social media followers.
It’s been almost a year now since my last post on Instagram or Facebook. While I was on the social media platforms, they became my default (默认) go to whenever I felt myself getting bored, or with extra time on my hands. This would cure me of my boredom. As soon as I stopped scrolling (上下滚动) on social media, however, I realized that knowing when I am bored is invaluable. It helped me realize that I need to be doing more meaningful things with my time. I have read more books this year than during any other year in my life so far.
I recall when I was on social media the urge to take one perfect picture wherever we went. “It could be my next display cover image on Facebook,” I would think. Or, “This would look so good on Instagram!” I’d say, while handing my husband the phone to take the perfect photograph. This would take much of the joy out of the experience, and cause me to question my own motivations. Am I doing this to gain appreciation from people who are practically strangers to me, or for my own enjoyment Now I make memories less by recording every moment, and more by living it.
24. Why does the author worry about children in this era
A. They have trouble in handling social pressures.
B. They have boring childhood and teenager years.
C. They take advantage of smartphones at an early age.
D. They are affected by negative effects of social media.
25. What does the author think of boredom
A. It is a necessary part of personal growth. B. It should be avoided by reading more books.
C. It has potential for being used in a better way. D. It is mainly caused by frequent social activities.
26. What is the author’s current approach to making memories
A. Recording every moment through taking photography.
B. Prioritizing personal enjoyment over social media life.
C. Seeking appreciation from friends and family online.
D. Sharing experiences on various social media platforms.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. How I quit social media eventually B. Life before social media and after it
C. What quitting social media taught me D. My experience as a social media influencer

A start-up based in England has won one of the world’s most significant awards for improving the health of the oceans, thanks to its pioneering work on a groundbreaking solution to catching and recycling microfibres (微纤维) filtered out from washing machines.
Competing against 200 businesses from 54 countries, the British green-tech business Cleaner Seas Group (CSG) succeeded in winning the international Ocean Impact Pitchfest Award in Australia in November 2023 with its IndiTM home microfibre filter.
Since it was launched, CSG’s IndiTM home microfibre filter has been making significant waves. Dave Miller, CEO of CSG, said, “It has been a fantastic year for us. We are at a hugely exciting growth stage. Increased awareness of the need for microplastic reduction presents a huge opportunity for us to make a difference.”
Dave Miller adds, “Everyone in the company has a personal connection to the ocean. We are surfers and wild swimmers and we feel enthusiastic about keeping the oceans free of microplastics. Our filter technology has the potential to significantly reduce microfibre pollution, helping to reduce the microplastic in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe.”
James Sirmon, technical director of CSG, explained, “Our filter cartridge (盒子) contains a roll of microfibre-collecting filter paper. The in-built sensor technology detects when each section of the filter paper is full. A warning light system indicates when the cartridge or batteries need replacing or when a filter unit doesn’t work. We have designed the product to fit all washing machines worldwide, so it is a global solution for a global problem.”
Tim Silverwood, co-founder at Ocean Impact Organisation said: “The team at CSG should be enormously proud of this achievement. We look forward to seeing their future impact across the globe. The future looks bright for CSG!”
28. What can be learned about CSG
A. It is based in Australia. B. It is a recycling center.
C. It has branches in 54 countries. D. It is a newly-founded company.
29. The underlined words in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.
A. following the trend. B. breaking new ground.
C. playing it in safety. D. Causing great troubles.
30. Why does Dave Miller mention his workmates in paragraph 4
A. To explain how they put lots of effort into the filter.
B. To prove they have great potential to do big things.
C. To stress everyone is inseparable from the ocean.
D. To show they’ re enthusiastic about their company.
31. How does the microfibre filter work according to James Sirmon
A. It is driven by wind power. B. It has a fault alarm indicator.
C. It has a roll of toilet paper inside. D. It is designed for certain machines.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B

Decades’ worth of research links physical activity with positive changes in the brain. In children, for example, physical activity is associated with better cognitive (认知的) performance. Studies on older adults show that regular exercise reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). And imaging studies confirm that the volume of the hippocampus—a brain region associated with memory and mental mapping— is larger in individuals who are more physically active compared to those who spend a lot of time sitting down.
Around 2002, scientists began to realize moving muscles produced molecules (分子) that get released into the bloodstream and provide benefits to faraway organs. In 2012 Bruce Spiegelman, a cell biologist, and his workmates discovered irisin, a new type of molecule released by exercised muscles. When muscle cells produce irisin, it increases levels of another protein called brain- derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus.
Just last year Wrann, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital, tested irisin’s role in exercise and cognitive function. Her team compared mice who were genetically engineered to lack iris in with mice who could still produce the molecule. After exercise, the normal mice performed better on a task that relied on cognitive skills. The mice lacking irisin didn’t show this same improvement.
When Wrann’s team examined the mice’s brains, they saw that both groups of mice produced neurons (神经元) in response to exercise. When the gene to produce irisin was returned to the brains of mice lacking the protein, the mice also performed better on the same task.
Irisin has an identical molecular structure in mice and humans, Wrann says, which suggests that it serves similar functions in both species, and so the findings may have practical applications in medicine. From the perspective of drug development, “irisin certainly is promising, especially given the data about its effect in human brain.” says Christoph Handschin, a muscle researcher and professor of pharmocology (药理学) .
32. What do the findings in paragraph 1 show
A. Exercise has great benefits to our brain. B. The brain is changing all through our life.
C. Physical activity is key to fighting Alzheimer’s. D. The hippocampus has little to do with cognition.
33. What can we learn about irisin from paragraph 2
A. It governs human exercise. B. It is a special type of BDNF.
C. It increases the volume of BDNF. D. It is mainly produced by the brain.
34. What has Wrann’s team concluded from their experiment
A. Irisin promotes cognitive ability. B. Certain genes are in charge of irisin.
C. Neurons are only produced in exercise. D. Some mice are unable to produce irisin.
35. Which statement might both Wrann and Handschin agree with
A. It seems risky to use irisin to treat human patients.
B. It is possible to discover more functions for irisin.
C. Irisin found in mice and humans differs enormously.
D. Irisin may be used to improve human brain function.

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。
On my twelfth birthday, my mother handed me a square box, saying it was something I had wanted for a long time. Excitedly, I opened it to find a fluffy, white puppy (小狗) inside. Overjoyed, I named her Snowball. I started to train Snowball right away, having her walk by my side on a leash (拴狗的皮带). I decided to take her for a short walk down a nearby, quiet lane.
As we turned into the lane, we saw an old woman in her yard. She noticed my new dog and introduced herself as Alice, approaching us while dragging an aluminum canister (铝罐) on wheels. Sitting near her gate, she explained that the machine helped her breathe. I tried not to stare.
“What is this little one’s name ” she asked.
I picked up my puppy and placed her on Alice’s lap. “Her name is Snowball and mine is Jamie,” I replied. “I just got her for my birthday today!”
“It’s very nice to meet you, Jamie and Snowball, and a very Happy Birthday to you,” Alice said. Soon Alice had lost herself, snuggling (依偎) with Snowball. With Alice’s eyes closed, I felt it was okay to study her breathing machine. It reminded me of something out of a science fiction book. When I looked back at Alice, I saw her petting the calm dog and softly singing to her. As I watched, I saw tears roll slowly down Alice’s cheeks.
I asked what was wrong, and she explained that holding my dog reminded her of the dog she had years ago. She then returned my dog, expressing her love for little dogs and hoping we would visit again. However, I thought to myself that I wouldn’t return, not wanting to see her with her scary breathing machine.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I lay awake for a long time that night.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning I tied Snowball to her leash and took a turn into the lane where Alice lived.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I lay awake for a long time that night. Snowball snuggled at my feet, softly snoring, while my mind was anything but settled. Alice’s smiling face and the deep loneliness in her eyes kept replaying in my head. Although I really didn’t want to go back to that place with the noise of her breathing machine weighing me down, a sense of responsibility and sympathy for Alice weighed heavier. I recalled how gently Alice had petted Snowball, her soft humming still echoing in my ears. Seeing the tears roll down her cheeks made me realize how painful her past losses must have been. I decided to visit her again.
The next morning I tied Snowball to her leash and took a turn into the lane where Alice lived. As we approached Alice’s house, my heart started to race. I was still afraid to hear the unsettling sound of her breathing machine. But when I saw Alice sitting in her small yard, my heart softened. Alice’s eyes shone with tears as she gently petted Snowball. “Thank you, Jamie,” Alice said softly, her voice filled with gratitude. “You’ve made my morning so special.” I suddenly realized that sometimes giving a bit of time and care could bring great happiness to someone else.
