写作 第二节（满分 25 分）
A possible version:
Days later, Nita accompanied her mother to the market with the newly-made cloth bag. As
the seller began to reach for a plastic bag, Nita’s voice rang out, commanding attention. “Hold on!”
she exclaimed, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.“We don’t need a plastic bag. We have our own
cloth bag to carry our groceries.” The seller paused, a curious look on his face, before breaking
into a smile.“What a brilliant idea! Bags like this could truly change the world,” he remarked.
Nita’s mother beamed with pride. Not only did she love her new cloth bag, but she also valued the
fact that their family was contributing to a cleaner environment.
Word of Nita’s bags spread rapidly throughout the village. People marveled at the beauty
and practicality of her creations, and soon, requests for these unique bags poured in. Nita’s father
devoted himself to making bags for everyone who sought them. With the introduction of Nita’s
bags, the village underwent a transformation. The air became free from the choking smoke, and
the streets were no longer littered with trash. Nita, with a twinkle in her eyes, knew that even a
small act of creativity and determination could make a significant impact on the world around her.

you were excellent. He also showed me your website, and I have to say I was really impressed
with your work.

W: I’m really glad to see so many people signed up for this workshop. With graduation coming up
soon, I know that many of you are preparing to enter the workforce for the first time. Job
interviews can be an enormously stressful experience, but like most things, interviewing is a skill,
not a talent, and a little practice goes a long way.
I know many of you feel nervous just at the thought of being interviewed, but you need to
remember that you’ve been invited for an interview because your potential employers think you’d
be suitable for the job. So, have a little confidence in yourself. The best thing you can do is be
prepared and professional, which will help you make a strong first impression.
Before an interview, you should always review your résumé and application, which is why I asked
you all to bring an outline of your achievements, academic or otherwise, up to now. You’ll be
needing that later. Once your résumé is solid, then you can start preparing for possible interview
questions. I’m going to hand out a list of those questions now. You need to think about how you’d
answer each of them. Don’t bother making notes — you can’t bring notes to an interview. OK,
that’s all, does anyone have any questions for me

A
Poems for high schoolers
If
The poem is written by Rudyard Kipling. In this poem, a father talks of several values and advises his son to live with moderation and constraint（克制） to continuously maintain calm and avoid overreacting. The poem is full of positivity for personal growth in difficult times. Anyone struggling with a lack of desire in life can still benefit from it.
The Laughing Heart
The poem advises readers to take control of their own life and make the most of their time. At the beginning of the poem, Charles Bukowski talks about how one shouldn’t let others take their “light” out of them. Bukowski says that once you begin to show up for your own life, “amazing” things will begin to happen to you. The Laughing Heart, which focuses on risk and making decisions in life, is attractive to youth as it serves as an encouragement to them to stand up for themselves in difficult times.
Fifth Grade Autobiography
Through the poem, Rita Dove discusses the good memories of her most significant life influences as a child. By using language and pictures, she recalls how great and significant her family is as she looks at a photograph. Based on Dove’s poetry, an excellent activity would be to ask children to select a photo that’s significant to them and write their own Fifth Grade Autobiography.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete
The poem is about achieving our life goals despite the challenges we experience along the road. In this poem, Tupac Shakur compares himself to a neglected rose who went from being a marginalized (被边缘化的) teenager to one of the most influential singers the world has ever known. The poem will inspire readers to focus and realize their dreams.
21. What is the Rudyard Kipling’s poem about
A. Difficulties in life. B. Teenager education.
C. Emotional expression. D. Parental advice.
22. How does the poet start The Laughing Heart
A. By describing a scene.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By offering suggestions.
D. By explaining a problem.
23. What do the last two poems have in common
A. They share good memories of the poets.
B. They are based on the poets’ own life.
C. They are about important life skills.
D. They stress the importance of dreams.
B
My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet―just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading.
While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana―a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself transitioning towards graphic novels from childish comic books.
Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it.
Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the overall story.
From black and white strips and colorful comic books to illustrated graphic novels, this type of storytelling has come a long way. While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is more substantial and here to stay.
24. Why did the author turn to comic books as a child
A. He found comic books interesting.
B. He had limited access to other books.
C. He wanted to be different from his friends.
D. He could relax from reading text-only books.
25. Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 2
A. Acceptable. B. Natural.
C. Scary. D. Appealing.
26. What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine
A. It encouraged him to read more text-only novels.
B. It improved his understanding of Bloomfield’s book.
C. It introduced him to a compelling style of storytelling.
D. It changed his attitude to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
27. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage
A. Comic books are more than comic.
B. Why he loves reading graphic novels.
C. Why he turned to serious novels eventually.
D. Picture books are here to stay for many reasons.
C
Picture this: you’re at the grocery store, feeling satisfied as you reach for the low-fat yogurt. But then, you find yourself grabbing a pack of sugary cookies. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. To study the complex dance of healthy and unhealthy choices, a research team conducted two studies.
In Study 1, they analyzed real-world purchase data from over 5,000 shopping trips at a large Dutch supermarket chain. Using handheld scanners, shoppers scanned each product as they selected it, allowing the researchers to track the exact sequence of their choices. In Study 2, they invited 504 shoppers in the U.S. to participate in an online grocery shopping simulation (模拟). Participants made 25 product choices across various categories.
Across both studies, a clear “balancing act” pattern appeared: the relative healthiness of an initial product choice was inversely (成反比地) related to the relative healthiness of the next choice. In other words, a healthier choice was typically followed by an unhealthier one, and vice versa (反之亦然).
The researchers also found that, in the real-world shopping data, healthier choices were balanced out more than unhealthier ones. However, in the online experiment, the opposite was true―unhealthier choices led to more obvious balancing.
The studies did not account for how much of each product shoppers purchased or consumed. It’s possible that the balancing of healthy and unhealthy choices extends beyond just product selection to serving sizes and consumption quantities as well. Additionally, the studies were limited to Dutch and American consumers. The generalizability of the findings to other cultures and food environments remains to be tested.
This research is a reminder that our food choices don’t happen in isolation. They’re influenced by our previous decisions in ways we may not even realize. Being aware of this balancing tendency could help shoppers make more consistently healthy choices.
You can run your own version of the study by paying attention to your shopping habits next time you make a grocery run. Being more mindful of your habit may lead you to make greater efforts to make healthier choices more consistently.
28. What is the new study mainly about
A. A general rule when shoppers make food choices.
B. The strategy of grocery stores to get customers to spend.
C. Factors that influence people’s choice of food when shopping.
D. The difference between online shopping and offline shopping.
29. What can be learned from the new study
A. People are more likely to spend more when shopping online.
B. People are more likely to choose healthy foods when shopping online.
C. People are easily affected by the order in which food is placed in stores.
D. People buy a rough balance of healthy and unhealthy foods when shopping.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the studies
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
31. What is the author’s advice in the last paragraph
A. Be more aware of our own shopping habits.
B. Make a shopping list before we go shopping.
C. Cut down on shopping time as much as possible.
D. Do some research on healthy and unhealthy foods.
D
One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter.
I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has.
With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.
What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.
There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for―authentic human conversation―should not be the exception, but the rule.

We all need to give and receive feedback for our work, which sometimes can be tricky. In fact, Confucius, way back in 500 BC, talked about the importance of expressing difficult messages well. However, a recent survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is effective and useful to their work. Either the feedback is so indirect and soft that the brain doesn’t even recognize it or it’s just too direct that it makes the other person unhappy and defensive. 36
Ask micro-yes questions.
Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important. For instance, you can ask “Do you have five minutes for a brief discussion ” 37 First, it lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given. Second, it offers some space for the other to refuse.
Avoid blur(模糊) words.
38 To change this, try to say “You said you’d get that email to me by 11 a.m, and I still don’t have it yet 4 p.m.” instead of “You aren’t reliable.” The reason for that is that you want to specify exactly what you want the other person to do.
State the impact.
39 For example, you might say, “Because I didn’t get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn’t move forward” or “I really liked how you added those stories, because it helped me grasp the concepts faster.” It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points.
Wrap the feedback with a question.
Great feedback givers tend to ask something like, “Well, how do you see it ” Or “This is what I’m thinking, but what are your thoughts on it ”. 40 Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation.
Now that you know this approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.
This can do two things for you.
This makes your feedback effective.
Make the conversation no longer a monologue (独白).
Name exactly how the other person has influenced you.
The following four methods can be employed to make your feedback direct.
There’s a mistaken tendency that we use vague, or not specific words for feedback.
Here comes a four-part approach that you can adopt to say any difficult message well.

Nita’s Beautiful Bag
“What is that black smoke ” Nita asked her mother as they were folding the clothes.
“Your father is burning some things. Go see what he is up to,” she replied.
Nita approached her father, who was tending to a small fire in the yard. As she drew closer, she noticed a bunch of plastic bags burning. Confusion mixed with worry filled her young mind. She couldn’t help but question her father’s action.
“Why are you burning those plastic bags, Dad ” she asked, her voice full of concern.
“These bags would last an incredibly long time if we buried them. Plastic doesn’t break down in the earth. Burning is the only way to remove them, Nita,” he replied.
Nita’s forehead wrinkled. She felt a wave of sadness for the earth and couldn’t help but voice her discontent. “But burning isn’t good for the earth either, Dad. And the smoke ... it smells terrible,” she complained softly.
Her father let out a heavy sigh, understanding her concern. He knelt down to her level and spoke with a touch of regret in his voice, “I know, Nita, but I haven’t found another way to keep these bags from polluting the earth.”
That afternoon, as Nita’s mother returned from the market with more plastic bags, Nita felt a growing sense of unease. The cycle of using and burning plastic bags seemed endless, and she longed for a solution.
Later that day, Nita found herself watching her father work on cutting shirts for his clothing business. Her mind wandered, thinking about the problem at hand. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. “Maybe I can create something useful with the leftover fabric scraps (碎布)!” she thought excitedly.
Determined to make a difference, Nita borrowed her father’s scissors, thread (线), and a needle. Her father, concerned for her safety, tried to stop her. However, her determination shone through, and he soon found himself assisting her in making a beautiful bag.
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。
Days later, Nita accompanied her mother to the market with the newly-made cloth bag.
