From the concert halls of Europe to the tech industries of the United States, C. J. Santos has created a story across the globe.
Born in Brazil, Santos moved to Switzerland at the age of 18, and earned degrees in both music performance and business administration there in the university. During his next 10 years of “intense” career as a professional musician, he spent most of his time on the road. “I had the honor to perform in the top concert halls in Europe,” Santos said. “It really wore me out to be constantly traveling and performing, but it allowed me to see the world and understand it in its full diversity. This was a unique experience, and I carry its benefits with me to this day.”
Through these experiences, Santos was able to become fluent in six languages. With these skills under his belt, Santos worked with his wife, who is also fluent in four languages, to develop a small translation business.
“Running it with no previous business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience,” Santos said. “In addition, the translation industry experienced a massive digital transformation in the last decade.”
This brought Santos to an MBA/M. S. program in business analytics and information management, where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives in different industries. The program provided him with something he clearly enjoys in life: variety. “It helped me take the most advantage of the translation industry’s digital transformation. What I gained from the program is more than what I managed in the 15 years in Europe,” he added.
As Santos continues to grow his business, he’s also working as an advisor. “The world’s digital transformation has advanced at high speed,” he said. “To me, it’s very exciting to be a valuable resource to those who need help to jump onboard the digital express (数字快车).”
24. What did Santos think of his career as a musician
A. innovative but stressful. B. Unique and enjoyable.
C. Tiring but rewarding. D. Demanding and fruitless.
25. What drove Santos to take up the MBA/M. S. program
A. His strong desire for a Master’s Degree. B. The challenge from starting a new business.
C. His lack of education background in business. D. The demand for a learning-by-doing experience.
26. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The great variety Santos enjoys in life. B. The application of digital transformation.
C. The benefits Santos got from the program. D. Santos’s viewpoint on translation industry.
27. In which aspect does Santos probably offer help as an advisor
A. Digital solutions. B. Business analysis.
C. Translation skills. D. Resources management.

When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to document the coexistence of humans and wildlife, he found a story by the roadside-a group of bears begging for food. This close encounter led to incredible photographs. But it also emphasizes the hurdles that conservationists in Romania and elsewhere face in their efforts to restore and protect wild places.
Tourists attracted by the region’s brown bears often give in to the temptation (诱惑) to feed them. This can have disastrous effects. Although bears are usually shy around people, it takes just a few meals for them to develop a taste for human food-and, after that, they don’t stay wild long. Instead, they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more conflicts between bears and humans and putting bears in danger when they get too close. This region has seen a rise in bear-human conflicts.
In 2023, there were 95 bear incidents, and a hiker suffered a fatal bear attack. This caused officials to raise the annual bear kill quota (限额). Doest also documented an attacked mother bear whose leg had been lost, forced to beg for food along the road. Bears fed by humans become “problem bears”, fueling local opposition to rewilding projects, as more forests mean more bears.
While driving on a mountain pass, Doest and his assistant realized the bears were waiting for human handouts. They had completely changed their behavior. Doest saw other examples of how tourists’ handouts had changed the ecosystem. As he watched people feeding bears snacks like doughnuts, he realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife.
“It isn’t just about rewilding-it’s about the opportunities and struggles rewilding brings us,” he says. “It’s about how to accept nature in our lives, and how we could benefit if we do it the right way.” So don’t feed the bears. You could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation.
28. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in paragraph 1 mean
A. solutions. B. dangers. C. responsibilities. D. challenges.
29. What is the main reason for the increase in bear-human conflicts in the region
A. The expansion of human settlements.
B. The bears’ dependence on human food.
C. The decrease in natural food sources for bears.
D. The government’s lack of wildlife protection policy.
30. Why do some locals oppose rewilding projects
A. They believe that rewilding will attract irresponsible tourists.
B. They think that rewilding is not effective in protecting wildlife.
C. They fear that rewilding will destroy their traditional way of life.
D. They worry that rewilding will cause more bear-human conflicts.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards feeding bears
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful
D
Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits
A primary barrier is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, coupled with difficulty many seniors face in using devices like smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to embrace new technology or miss out on its advantages.
Indeed, technology-particularly through platforms like social media-offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and acquiring new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is crucial for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults.
Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist, arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now ” Furthermore, frustration is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty.
Addressing these issues requires better technology design tailored to seniors. Older users prefer simple, clear web pages with easy navigation. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study emphasized, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, highlighting the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions.
32. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs
A. They have limited access to digital devices.
B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate
C. They have a negative attitude towards all new technology.
D. They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital devices.
33. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father
A. Seniors usually struggle to read text messages clearly.
B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone
C. Seniors often feel frustrated when using new technologies.
D. Seniors always encounter hardware failures of smart phones.
34. What might be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology.
B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems.
C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs.
D. Effective strategies for web designers to simplify website interfaces.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology
B. Breaking Barriers: Seniors Struggle with Tech Adoption.
C. Embracing smart phones: A Reasonable choice for seniors
D. Bridging the Tech gap: Designing Senior-friendly Technology

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I’m a hiker - “born to hike”. It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail, especially when I’m alone and can let my mind wander where it will. The experience of hiking is unique, research suggests, conveying benefits beyond what you receive from typical exercise. 36
Hiking keeps your mind sharper than many other forms of exercise. As a professional writer, although I’m busy with my work, I often spare some time to hike. 37
38 Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress. But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that it’s done outdoors in a natural setting. It can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase our creativity. I’m sure I’m not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions. 39 Sometimes, ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I’m not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world. Besides being good for us, hiking may also help the world around us. After all, if we stick to walking and covering longer distances, we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint. 40 For example, it increases our connection to nature. As one study suggests, when we have a personal connection to nature, we are more likely to want to protect it. That means experiences in nature-like hiking-can be mutually beneficial, helping people and the earth.
So, grab a water bottle, a backpack... and head out on the trail. You won’t be sorry you did.
A. Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy.
B. Beyond that, hiking benefits our planet indirectly.
C. Here is what science is saying about the benefits of hiking.
D. It not just makes me feel good, but also keeps my brain in top shape.
E. Personally, it’s easy to hit upon some creative ideas while at home alone.
F. As a matter of fact, I have written many of my songs while hiking on a trail.

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。
Jenny’s life centered around two things: her mother’s broom sweeping the streets and the books she loved to read. Her father had been sick for long, reducing the family to poverty. Her mother, Annika worked dawn till dusk as a street cleaner while Jenny balanced schoolwork and caregiving. Their apartment, though modest, held a shelf where stories like Broomstar’s Journey offered escape - a reminder that even gloomy (阴暗的) days could hold magic.
When Annika’s arthritis (关节炎) worsened, Jenny joined her after school. Sweeping alongside her mother, the girl would recite lines from her favorite books, turning dull chores into adventures. “Words make the work lighter,” she told her mother, who smiled as she noted how Jenny’s eyes lit up with every story. One winter day, a neighbor snapped a photo of them - Jenny holding a broom in one hand and a dog-eared (书页折角的) book in the other - and shared it online with the caption: “Two hands, one broom, and a world of words.”
The post went viral. Soon donations poured in for her father’s treatment, and a local charity helped Annika open a small book cafe called Story Haven. It became a cozy place where kids could enjoy donated books, warm cocoa, and Jenny’s weekly story time. As her father’s health improved, Jenny began writing her own stories-tales of talking brooms and girls who turned struggles into victories.
Then, on a spring morning, a silver car parked outside the cafe. Lindsey Hart, the famous children’s author whose books had inspired Jenny for years, stepped inside, a warm smile on her face. “I heard about a young storyteller here,” she said, approaching Jenny, who stood frozen in awe. Lindsey presented a signed copy of Whispers of the Broom and shared her own story of writing on napkins (餐巾纸) while working in her family’s bakery. “Your courage to dream while sweeping floors is what the magic writers chase,” she said, placing a hand on Jenny’s shoulder and leaving her telephone number, “Never let anything dim your light. Expecting your works in Children’s Tales Monthly.”
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。
As the writer’s car disappeared into the distance, Jenny held the book tightly.

应用文参考答案：
As a student fascinated by technology, AI has reshaped my life. One practical example is language-learning apps like Duolingo, which adapt exercises to my weaknesses using AI, making learning efficient.
However, risks exist. Over-reliance on AI translators may weaken my skills, while Deepseek videos could spread misinformation, endangering society.
To coexist harmoniously with AI, firstly, we must treat it as a tool to enhance, not replace, human capabilities. Additionally, governments and tech firms should collaborate to establish ethical guidelines and stricter regulations. Ultimately, as young learners, we must cultivate critical thinking and never compromise our values for short-term convenience. All in all, AI’s future depends on us. Let’s embrace its benefits while staying cautious.
续写参考答案：
One possible version:
As the writer’s car disappeared into the distance, Jenny held the book tightly. From that day, she grew more dedicated to reading and writing, with Lindsey’s words echoing in her mind. She woke at dawn to write in her notebook, attended writing workshops at the library, and even submitted stories to youth magazines. At Story Haven, she began guiding younger kids, showing them how to find stories in everyday moments — the way sunlight touched a broom, or the laughter of a café visitor. “Stories heal, ” she’d tell them, “just like they healed me. ”
Months later, Jenny called Lindsey excitedly, “I have good news to share with you.” She told Lindsey that her first story was published in Children’s Tales Monthly, which was about a girl and her broom that discovered strength in storytelling. “Congratulations! I’m so proud of you! ” responded Lindsey, promising to offer any possible guidance. The publication and Lindsey’s encouragement inspired Jenny to dream bigger. She made up her mind to become a writer who could uplift others just as Lindsey did. Sitting at her desk in the café, with sunlight shining on her latest draft, Jenny realized something important: hardships are not the end — they are the beginning of new stories, filled with hope.
【导语】本文以珍妮的成长为线索，讲述了她在贫困家境中以书籍为寄托，与母亲扫街时的照片意外走红后获助改善生活，并偶遇偶像作家林赛，最终在其激励下坚持写作并收获成果的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当作家的车消失在远方时，珍妮紧紧地握着那本书。”可知，第一段可描写珍妮受林赛鼓舞，更加专注于阅读与写作——早起记笔记、参加写作工坊、向杂志投稿，同时在咖啡馆引导孩子们从日常中发现故事，将自己的感悟传递给他人。
②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，珍妮兴奋地打电话给林赛：“我有个好消息要告诉你。”可知，第二段可描写珍妮的首个故事在《儿童故事月刊》发表，讲述故事内容及林赛的鼓励，珍妮由此坚定成为作家的梦想，领悟到苦难是充满希望的新故事的开端。
2. 续写线索：
偶像离去——受激励投身写作——引导孩子发现故事——作品发表——获偶像认可——领悟苦难意义
A：本文是篇应用文，介绍新西兰儿童文学杂志Write On 及其最新征文比赛的相关事宜。
21.B 事实细节题。根据文中"Thanks to Scorpio Books' generosity" 及"Scorpio Books voucher"可知比赛的奖品是由Scorpio Books 提供的，即比赛受到了Scorpio Books的赞助。
22.C 事实细节题。根据文中"Please exclude pictures — let your wonderful writing create the pictures"可知，参赛作品是不能带有图片的。
23.D 事实细节题。根据 "Winning entries will come out in Issue 55，about one and a half months after the closing date of October 23"可知，作品提交的截止日期是10月23日，获胜者作品将在大约一个半月之后（即12月）出版在第55期的Write On杂志上。
B: 本文是篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了C. J. Santos从音乐转型到美国科技产业的经历。
24.C推理判断题。根据第二段“It really wore me out…its benefits with me to this day”可知，职业音乐家生涯让Santos筋疲力尽…但这种独特的经历让他受益至今，可推断，Santos认为他的音乐家生涯虽然累但是有益的。
25.B推理判断题。根据第四段“Running it with no previous business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience,“和第五段“This brought Santos to an MBA/M.S. …where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives indifferent industries.可知，创业的挑战驱使桑托斯攻读MBA/M.S.项目。
26.C主旨大意题。根据第五段内容尤其是 “…where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives …provided him with something …和“It helped me …What I gained from the program is ….”可知，本段主要介绍桑托斯从这个项目中得到的好处。
27.A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，桑托斯作为顾问，可能会提供数字解决方案方面的帮助。
C: 本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了摄影记者Jasper Doest在罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚阿尔卑斯山的所见所闻，强调了人类活动对野生动物的影响以及保护野生环境的挑战。
28.D词义猜测题。根据首段语境，“hurdles”所在句的前文中提到“一群熊在路边乞食”的异常现象，后文则具体阐述游客喂食导致人熊冲突加剧等问题。通过“disastrous effects”“conflicts”等负面描述可推断，自然环境保护主义者面临的是恢复和保护野生环境过程中的“Challenges”（挑战）。
29.B文章第二段明确指出“it takes just a few meals to develop a taste for human food... they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more conflicts between bears and humans”，说明熊因食用人类食物而逐渐依赖人类供给，进而导致觅食行为改变，引发与人类的频繁冲突。其他选项中，A选项“人类定居点扩张”、C选项“熊的自然食物源减少”和D选项“政府缺乏保护政策”在文中均未提及，属于无中生有。
30.D推理判断题。根据第三段“Bears fed by humans become ‘problem bears’, fueling local opposition to rewilding projects, as more forests mean more bears”可知，被人类喂食的熊因习惯人类食物而失去野性，成为“问题熊”，而“再野生化项目”会扩大森林面积，意味着熊的数量增加，这直接导致当地人担忧人熊冲突进一步升级，因此反对该项目。
31.A推理判断题。文章末段以祈使句“So don’t feed the bears”直接表明作者态度，随后强调“save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation”（拯救动物生命及维护社区对野生动物保护的努力），通过负面后果的阐述，明确传递出对“喂食熊”这一行为的否定态度。其它选项均与作者呼吁禁止喂食的立场相悖。
D 本文是一篇议论文。通过适老化设计弥合老年人与科技之间的差距，让老年人能够享受技术带来的诸多益处。
32. B事实细节题。根据文章第二段“A primary barrier is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, coupled with difficulty many seniors face in using devices like smartphones or computers”可知，老年人对新技术持犹豫态度的核心原因在于对技术及其优势认知不足，且操作智能设备存在困难。B选项“find hi-tech products challenging to operate”（发现高科技产品操作困难）精准对应文中描述的“使用设备的困难”。
33 C推理判断题。文章第四段以Lucia父亲为例，通过他反复抱怨“It’s not working”以及“struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts”等细节，意在论证该段首句“frustration is common”（使用新技术时的挫败感普遍存在）。A选项“老年人使用新技术时常感到沮丧”最符合例子的论证目的。
34 D文章末段"Addressing these issues requires better technology design tailored to seniors... Older users prefer simple, clear web pages with easy navigation...A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers...（解决这些问题需要为老年人量身定制的技术设计…老年用户更喜欢简单、易导航的清晰网页…更简单、更统一设计的互联网将有助于打破老年用户的心理障碍。结尾句…the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved…highlighting the ongoing need"表明问题未解决，按照行文逻辑，接下来最可能围绕网页设计师如何简化网站界面这一有效策略展开，直接对应文章提到的"simple, clear web pages with easy navigation"和"user-friendly"设计，是合理的延续。
35 D文章首段提出核心论点“通过合理设计，老年人可突破技术使用障碍”，随后分析老年人抗拒技术的原因、技术的价值，最终落脚于“适老化设计”的必要性。D选项“Bridging the Tech gap: Designing Senior-friendly Technology”（弥合科技差距：设计适老型技术）既点明“老年人与技术之间的鸿沟”，又突出“技术优化设计”的解决方案，精准概括文章“问题—方案”的逻辑框架。
七选五：本文是篇说明文，通过个人经历结合科学研究，系统阐述徒步旅行的多重益处。
36.C首段以作者自身徒步经历引入，强调徒步的益处。C选项“Here is what science is saying about the benefits of hiking”既承接上文对徒步的赞美，又自然引出下文对徒步科学益处的具体说明，起到承上启下的作用。
37.D第二段首句是该段的主旨句，指出“徒步比其他运动更能保持思维敏锐”。D选项“It not only makes me feel good but also keeps my brain in top shape”直接呼应主题，强调徒步对大脑健康的积极影响。
38.A根据段落结构一致性原则（每段首句为该段主旨），且后文提到“decrease stress”和“give you the happiness”，可知该段聚焦徒步对情绪的调节作用。A选项“Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy”精准概括段落核心，点明徒步能带来情绪舒缓与愉悦感。
39.F该段围绕“徒步提升创造力”展开，作者以自身经历为例。F选项“As a matter of fact, I have written many of my songs while hiking on a trail”通过具体创作实例（写歌）进一步支撑论点，且“songs”与后文“music”形成词汇复现，增强连贯性。E选项“在家独自产生创意”与段落“徒步激发创意”的主题不符。
40.B空前强调徒步对环保的直接作用（减少碳排放），空后举例说明徒步通过增强人与自然的联系间接促进环保。B选项“Beyond that, hiking benefits our planet indirectly”既承接上文，又通过“indirectly”自然引出下文例子，逻辑连贯。其他选项未涉及“环保”或“间接益处”，无法衔接上下文。
1.【原文】M: I arranged for Wi-Fi to be installed at my home on Thursday.
W: Yes, that’s correct. Everything is booked in, so don’t worry.
M: Sorry, but a problem came up and I won’t be home. I definitely need it set up soon though. How can you help me
2. 【原文】M: I’d love a relaxing weekend. Any ideas
W: I found a cat café downtown where you can have a cup of coffee and read books while playing with cats.
M: Oh, wow! That sounds perfect. I’ll definitely check it out.
3. 【原文】M: I saw the second Joker movie last night. I had no idea it was a musical. The first one wasn’t.
W: Yes! I liked the characters and story, but it was a bit long and I didn’t think it needed music.
M: I agree.
4. 【原文】M: I heard music coming from your street last night.
W: It was the festival! We lit lanterns, ate sweet rice balls, and watched the dragon dance.
M: No wonder you were tired this morning.
5. 【原文】M: My alarm clock never wakes me up. Looks like I need to change its battery.
W: Is it set correctly
M: Oops, I set it to PM instead of AM!
【答案】6. A7. A
【原文】W: Have you considered using ChatGPT for your degree thesis I’ve heard it is not against the rules, as long as you cite it.
M: Yes, I’ve considered it. It seems helpful since it can cut down on the hours spent searching for accurate sources. I’m cautious about fully trusting information generated by artificial intelligence without double-checking it though.
W: I do see your point. ChatGPT might increase your efficiency, but you should definitely cross-check its results with other sources.
M: Exactly. We need to balance speed with reliability.
W: Plus, we need to make sure our thesis has a human touch.
【答案】8. B9. B10. C
【原文】W: I still don’t know what to do — renting with friends sounds fun, but moving in with my cousin feels more stable.
M: Do you want more independence or comfort
W: That’s the problem. I want both, but in different ways.
M: I understand! Being with friends could be more social and relaxed. What about costs
W: My cousin’s flat would be 750 a month. Sharing a house with three friends would be 420 each.
M: Don’t forget you’ll have bills too. Let’s guess that bills will be about 140 each in the house share. How much is that altogether
W: Gosh, I can’t work it out! I think the flat is cheaper… But the house is in a nicer area.
M: You just need to figure out where you’d feel happiest and what you can afford.
W: I know. I don’t want to regret it either way.
【答案】11. C12. A13. B
【原文】M: Excuse me, I think this might be yours.
W: What is it
M: A bank card. I saw you get off the tube, and it was right under the seat you were sitting in.
W: Oh, that’s definitely mine! I didn’t even realize it was missing.
M: You were sitting by the window, right I noticed the name as the train doors were closing, so I jumped off to catch you.
W: I must have dropped it when I took my travel card out.
M: You have to be more careful.
W: Yeah. Honestly, thank you. I’ve been so busy this morning, rushing between meetings. I wouldn’t have noticed until lunchtime.
M: No worries. I’ve lost things on a bus before. It was really a horrible feeling.
W: You’ve saved me a lot of trouble. Let me treat you to a coffee
M: That’s kind, but I have to hurry for a connection. Just happy I caught you.
W: Well, thank you, really!
【答案】14. C15. A16. C17. B
【原文】M: Hi, Layla. Do you remember me
W: Hi, James. Of course I do! It’s great to see you. You haven’t changed much!
M: It must be nearly five years since we last met.
W: Yes. I left school in Year 10, remember
M: Yes. You had to be in hospital for quite a while, didn’t you
W: Yes. I was in hospital in Grimsby for one year. My parents thought the medical care there was better. Since then, I’ve been taking online classes.
M: Is studying online better than being at school
W: In some ways, yes. I can work at my own pace, and it’s much quieter. My grades haven’t suffered! But I miss seeing people every day.
M: That makes sense. I’m doing my A-levels now at the college in town.
W: Oh, great. Do you still hang out with anyone from our old class
M: A few of them. You should come to our meet-up next month.
W: I’d love to. Message me the details!
M: Will do. It’s really nice to see you again.
W: You too!
【答案】18. A19. A20. B
【原文】M: If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be jumping out of a plane, I’d have laughed. I hated heights. It’s not the kind of thing I enjoy doing with friends! But something changed after my grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wanted to do something meaningful that could help others affected by the same disease. So, I signed up for a charity skydive. I’d never even done a bake sale before!
We watched a safety video and we jumped from 4,000 meters. The free fall lasted for one minute, and we dropped at 200 kilometers per hour. I worked out that meant I fell roughly 3,300 meters before the parachute (降落伞) opened.
It was peaceful. You’d expect panic, but instead I felt calm. Everything looked so small, and yet I felt part of something huge.
The great part We raised 8,452 — the highest amount anyone in our area has ever raised for Alzheimer’s. But even better than the total was hearing people talk about their experience with this illness. So many had been through the same as my grandad.
I still don’t love heights, so I’ve not overcome that fear. But I’ve learned that sometimes, doing something scary opens doors — and hearts.

From the concert halls of Europe to the tech industries of the United States, C. J. Santos has created a story across the globe.
Born in Brazil, Santos moved to Switzerland at the age of 18, and earned degrees in both music performance and business administration there in the university. During his next 10 years of “intense” career as a professional musician, he spent most of his time on the road. “I had the honor to perform in the top concert halls in Europe,” Santos said. “It really wore me out to be constantly traveling and performing, but it allowed me to see the world and understand it in its full diversity. This was a unique experience, and I carry its benefits with me to this day.”
Through these experiences, Santos was able to become fluent in six languages. With these skills under his belt, Santos worked with his wife, who is also fluent in four languages, to develop a small translation business.
“Running it with no previous business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience,” Santos said. “In addition, the translation industry experienced a massive digital transformation in the last decade.”
This brought Santos to an MBA/M. S. program in business analytics and information management, where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives in different industries. The program provided him with something he clearly enjoys in life: variety. “It helped me take the most advantage of the translation industry’s digital transformation. What I gained from the program is more than what I managed in the 15 years in Europe,” he added.
As Santos continues to grow his business, he’s also working as an advisor. “The world’s digital transformation has advanced at high speed,” he said. “To me, it’s very exciting to be a valuable resource to those who need help to jump onboard the digital express (数字快车).”
24. What did Santos think of his career as a musician
A. innovative but stressful. B. Unique and enjoyable.
C. Tiring but rewarding. D. Demanding and fruitless.
25. What drove Santos to take up the MBA/M. S. program
A. His strong desire for a Master’s Degree. B. The challenge from starting a new business.
C. His lack of education background in business. D. The demand for a learning-by-doing experience.
26. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The great variety Santos enjoys in life. B. The application of digital transformation.
C. The benefits Santos got from the program. D. Santos’s viewpoint on translation industry.
27. In which aspect does Santos probably offer help as an advisor
A. Digital solutions. B. Business analysis.
C. Translation skills. D. Resources management.

When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to document the coexistence of humans and wildlife, he found a story by the roadside-a group of bears begging for food. This close encounter led to incredible photographs. But it also emphasizes the hurdles that conservationists in Romania and elsewhere face in their efforts to restore and protect wild places.
Tourists attracted by the region’s brown bears often give in to the temptation (诱惑) to feed them. This can have disastrous effects. Although bears are usually shy around people, it takes just a few meals for them to develop a taste for human food-and, after that, they don’t stay wild long. Instead, they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more conflicts between bears and humans and putting bears in danger when they get too close. This region has seen a rise in bear-human conflicts.
In 2023, there were 95 bear incidents, and a hiker suffered a fatal bear attack. This caused officials to raise the annual bear kill quota (限额). Doest also documented an attacked mother bear whose leg had been lost, forced to beg for food along the road. Bears fed by humans become “problem bears”, fueling local opposition to rewilding projects, as more forests mean more bears.
While driving on a mountain pass, Doest and his assistant realized the bears were waiting for human handouts. They had completely changed their behavior. Doest saw other examples of how tourists’ handouts had changed the ecosystem. As he watched people feeding bears snacks like doughnuts, he realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife.
“It isn’t just about rewilding-it’s about the opportunities and struggles rewilding brings us,” he says. “It’s about how to accept nature in our lives, and how we could benefit if we do it the right way.” So don’t feed the bears. You could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation.
28. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in paragraph 1 mean
A. solutions. B. dangers. C. responsibilities. D. challenges.
29. What is the main reason for the increase in bear-human conflicts in the region
A. The expansion of human settlements.
B. The bears’ dependence on human food.
C. The decrease in natural food sources for bears.
D. The government’s lack of wildlife protection policy.
30. Why do some locals oppose rewilding projects
A. They believe that rewilding will attract irresponsible tourists.
B. They think that rewilding is not effective in protecting wildlife.
C. They fear that rewilding will destroy their traditional way of life.
D. They worry that rewilding will cause more bear-human conflicts.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards feeding bears
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful
D
Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits
A primary barrier is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, coupled with difficulty many seniors face in using devices like smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to embrace new technology or miss out on its advantages.
Indeed, technology-particularly through platforms like social media-offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and acquiring new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is crucial for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults.
Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist, arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now ” Furthermore, frustration is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty.
Addressing these issues requires better technology design tailored to seniors. Older users prefer simple, clear web pages with easy navigation. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study emphasized, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, highlighting the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions.
32. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs
A. They have limited access to digital devices.
B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate
C. They have a negative attitude towards all new technology.
D. They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital devices.
33. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father
A. Seniors usually struggle to read text messages clearly.
B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone
C. Seniors often feel frustrated when using new technologies.
D. Seniors always encounter hardware failures of smart phones.
34. What might be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology.
B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems.
C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs.
D. Effective strategies for web designers to simplify website interfaces.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology
B. Breaking Barriers: Seniors Struggle with Tech Adoption.
C. Embracing smart phones: A Reasonable choice for seniors
D. Bridging the Tech gap: Designing Senior-friendly Technology

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I’m a hiker - “born to hike”. It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail, especially when I’m alone and can let my mind wander where it will. The experience of hiking is unique, research suggests, conveying benefits beyond what you receive from typical exercise. 36
Hiking keeps your mind sharper than many other forms of exercise. As a professional writer, although I’m busy with my work, I often spare some time to hike. 37
38 Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress. But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that it’s done outdoors in a natural setting. It can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase our creativity. I’m sure I’m not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions. 39 Sometimes, ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I’m not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world. Besides being good for us, hiking may also help the world around us. After all, if we stick to walking and covering longer distances, we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint. 40 For example, it increases our connection to nature. As one study suggests, when we have a personal connection to nature, we are more likely to want to protect it. That means experiences in nature-like hiking-can be mutually beneficial, helping people and the earth.
So, grab a water bottle, a backpack... and head out on the trail. You won’t be sorry you did.
A. Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy.
B. Beyond that, hiking benefits our planet indirectly.
C. Here is what science is saying about the benefits of hiking.
D. It not just makes me feel good, but also keeps my brain in top shape.
E. Personally, it’s easy to hit upon some creative ideas while at home alone.
F. As a matter of fact, I have written many of my songs while hiking on a trail.
G. This all goes to show that hiking may be one of the best ways to move your body.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Jenny’s life centered around two things: her mother’s broom sweeping the streets and the books she loved to read. Her father had been sick for long, reducing the family to poverty. Her mother, Annika worked dawn till dusk as a street cleaner while Jenny balanced schoolwork and caregiving. Their apartment, though modest, held a shelf where stories like Broomstar’s Journey offered escape - a reminder that even gloomy (阴暗的) days could hold magic.
When Annika’s arthritis (关节炎) worsened, Jenny joined her after school. Sweeping alongside her mother, the girl would recite lines from her favorite books, turning dull chores into adventures. “Words make the work lighter,” she told her mother, who smiled as she noted how Jenny’s eyes lit up with every story. One winter day, a neighbor snapped a photo of them - Jenny holding a broom in one hand and a dog-eared (书页折角的) book in the other - and shared it online with the caption: “Two hands, one broom, and a world of words.”
The post went viral. Soon donations poured in for her father’s treatment, and a local charity helped Annika open a small book cafe called Story Haven. It became a cozy place where kids could enjoy donated books, warm cocoa, and Jenny’s weekly story time. As her father’s health improved, Jenny began writing her own stories-tales of talking brooms and girls who turned struggles into victories.
Then, on a spring morning, a silver car parked outside the cafe. Lindsey Hart, the famous children’s author whose books had inspired Jenny for years, stepped inside, a warm smile on her face. “I heard about a young storyteller here,” she said, approaching Jenny, who stood frozen in awe. Lindsey presented a signed copy of Whispers of the Broom and shared her own story of writing on napkins (餐巾纸) while working in her family’s bakery. “Your courage to dream while sweeping floors is what the magic writers chase,” she said, placing a hand on Jenny’s shoulder and leaving her telephone number, “Never let anything dim your light. Expecting your works in Children’s Tales Monthly.”
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。
As the writer’s car disappeared into the distance, Jenny held the book tightly.

应用文参考答案：
As a student fascinated by technology, AI has reshaped my life. One practical example is language-learning apps like Duolingo, which adapt exercises to my weaknesses using AI, making learning efficient.
However, risks exist. Over-reliance on AI translators may weaken my skills, while Deepseek videos could spread misinformation, endangering society.
To coexist harmoniously with AI, firstly, we must treat it as a tool to enhance, not replace, human capabilities. Additionally, governments and tech firms should collaborate to establish ethical guidelines and stricter regulations. Ultimately, as young learners, we must cultivate critical thinking and never compromise our values for short-term convenience. All in all, AI’s future depends on us. Let’s embrace its benefits while staying cautious.
续写参考答案：
One possible version:
As the writer’s car disappeared into the distance, Jenny held the book tightly. From that day, she grew more dedicated to reading and writing, with Lindsey’s words echoing in her mind. She woke at dawn to write in her notebook, attended writing workshops at the library, and even submitted stories to youth magazines. At Story Haven, she began guiding younger kids, showing them how to find stories in everyday moments — the way sunlight touched a broom, or the laughter of a café visitor. “Stories heal, ” she’d tell them, “just like they healed me. ”
Months later, Jenny called Lindsey excitedly, “I have good news to share with you.” She told Lindsey that her first story was published in Children’s Tales Monthly, which was about a girl and her broom that discovered strength in storytelling. “Congratulations! I’m so proud of you! ” responded Lindsey, promising to offer any possible guidance. The publication and Lindsey’s encouragement inspired Jenny to dream bigger. She made up her mind to become a writer who could uplift others just as Lindsey did. Sitting at her desk in the café, with sunlight shining on her latest draft, Jenny realized something important: hardships are not the end — they are the beginning of new stories, filled with hope.
【导语】本文以珍妮的成长为线索，讲述了她在贫困家境中以书籍为寄托，与母亲扫街时的照片意外走红后获助改善生活，并偶遇偶像作家林赛，最终在其激励下坚持写作并收获成果的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当作家的车消失在远方时，珍妮紧紧地握着那本书。”可知，第一段可描写珍妮受林赛鼓舞，更加专注于阅读与写作——早起记笔记、参加写作工坊、向杂志投稿，同时在咖啡馆引导孩子们从日常中发现故事，将自己的感悟传递给他人。
②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，珍妮兴奋地打电话给林赛：“我有个好消息要告诉你。”可知，第二段可描写珍妮的首个故事在《儿童故事月刊》发表，讲述故事内容及林赛的鼓励，珍妮由此坚定成为作家的梦想，领悟到苦难是充满希望的新故事的开端。
2. 续写线索：
偶像离去——受激励投身写作——引导孩子发现故事——作品发表——获偶像认可——领悟苦难意义
A：本文是篇应用文，介绍新西兰儿童文学杂志Write On 及其最新征文比赛的相关事宜。
21.B 事实细节题。根据文中"Thanks to Scorpio Books' generosity" 及"Scorpio Books voucher"可知比赛的奖品是由Scorpio Books 提供的，即比赛受到了Scorpio Books的赞助。
22.C 事实细节题。根据文中"Please exclude pictures — let your wonderful writing create the pictures"可知，参赛作品是不能带有图片的。
23.D 事实细节题。根据 "Winning entries will come out in Issue 55，about one and a half months after the closing date of October 23"可知，作品提交的截止日期是10月23日，获胜者作品将在大约一个半月之后（即12月）出版在第55期的Write On杂志上。
B: 本文是篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了C. J. Santos从音乐转型到美国科技产业的经历。
24.C推理判断题。根据第二段“It really wore me out…its benefits with me to this day”可知，职业音乐家生涯让Santos筋疲力尽…但这种独特的经历让他受益至今，可推断，Santos认为他的音乐家生涯虽然累但是有益的。
25.B推理判断题。根据第四段“Running it with no previous business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience,“和第五段“This brought Santos to an MBA/M.S. …where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives indifferent industries.可知，创业的挑战驱使桑托斯攻读MBA/M.S.项目。
26.C主旨大意题。根据第五段内容尤其是 “…where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives …provided him with something …和“It helped me …What I gained from the program is ….”可知，本段主要介绍桑托斯从这个项目中得到的好处。
27.A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，桑托斯作为顾问，可能会提供数字解决方案方面的帮助。
C: 本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了摄影记者Jasper Doest在罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚阿尔卑斯山的所见所闻，强调了人类活动对野生动物的影响以及保护野生环境的挑战。
28.D词义猜测题。根据首段语境，“hurdles”所在句的前文中提到“一群熊在路边乞食”的异常现象，后文则具体阐述游客喂食导致人熊冲突加剧等问题。通过“disastrous effects”“conflicts”等负面描述可推断，自然环境保护主义者面临的是恢复和保护野生环境过程中的“Challenges”（挑战）。
29.B文章第二段明确指出“it takes just a few meals to develop a taste for human food... they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more conflicts between bears and humans”，说明熊因食用人类食物而逐渐依赖人类供给，进而导致觅食行为改变，引发与人类的频繁冲突。其他选项中，A选项“人类定居点扩张”、C选项“熊的自然食物源减少”和D选项“政府缺乏保护政策”在文中均未提及，属于无中生有。
30.D推理判断题。根据第三段“Bears fed by humans become ‘problem bears’, fueling local opposition to rewilding projects, as more forests mean more bears”可知，被人类喂食的熊因习惯人类食物而失去野性，成为“问题熊”，而“再野生化项目”会扩大森林面积，意味着熊的数量增加，这直接导致当地人担忧人熊冲突进一步升级，因此反对该项目。
31.A推理判断题。文章末段以祈使句“So don’t feed the bears”直接表明作者态度，随后强调“save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation”（拯救动物生命及维护社区对野生动物保护的努力），通过负面后果的阐述，明确传递出对“喂食熊”这一行为的否定态度。其它选项均与作者呼吁禁止喂食的立场相悖。
D 本文是一篇议论文。通过适老化设计弥合老年人与科技之间的差距，让老年人能够享受技术带来的诸多益处。
32. B事实细节题。根据文章第二段“A primary barrier is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, coupled with difficulty many seniors face in using devices like smartphones or computers”可知，老年人对新技术持犹豫态度的核心原因在于对技术及其优势认知不足，且操作智能设备存在困难。B选项“find hi-tech products challenging to operate”（发现高科技产品操作困难）精准对应文中描述的“使用设备的困难”。
33 C推理判断题。文章第四段以Lucia父亲为例，通过他反复抱怨“It’s not working”以及“struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts”等细节，意在论证该段首句“frustration is common”（使用新技术时的挫败感普遍存在）。A选项“老年人使用新技术时常感到沮丧”最符合例子的论证目的。
34 D文章末段"Addressing these issues requires better technology design tailored to seniors... Older users prefer simple, clear web pages with easy navigation...A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers...（解决这些问题需要为老年人量身定制的技术设计…老年用户更喜欢简单、易导航的清晰网页…更简单、更统一设计的互联网将有助于打破老年用户的心理障碍。结尾句…the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved…highlighting the ongoing need"表明问题未解决，按照行文逻辑，接下来最可能围绕网页设计师如何简化网站界面这一有效策略展开，直接对应文章提到的"simple, clear web pages with easy navigation"和"user-friendly"设计，是合理的延续。
35 D文章首段提出核心论点“通过合理设计，老年人可突破技术使用障碍”，随后分析老年人抗拒技术的原因、技术的价值，最终落脚于“适老化设计”的必要性。D选项“Bridging the Tech gap: Designing Senior-friendly Technology”（弥合科技差距：设计适老型技术）既点明“老年人与技术之间的鸿沟”，又突出“技术优化设计”的解决方案，精准概括文章“问题—方案”的逻辑框架。
七选五：本文是篇说明文，通过个人经历结合科学研究，系统阐述徒步旅行的多重益处。
36.C首段以作者自身徒步经历引入，强调徒步的益处。C选项“Here is what science is saying about the benefits of hiking”既承接上文对徒步的赞美，又自然引出下文对徒步科学益处的具体说明，起到承上启下的作用。
37.D第二段首句是该段的主旨句，指出“徒步比其他运动更能保持思维敏锐”。D选项“It not only makes me feel good but also keeps my brain in top shape”直接呼应主题，强调徒步对大脑健康的积极影响。
38.A根据段落结构一致性原则（每段首句为该段主旨），且后文提到“decrease stress”和“give you the happiness”，可知该段聚焦徒步对情绪的调节作用。A选项“Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy”精准概括段落核心，点明徒步能带来情绪舒缓与愉悦感。
39.F该段围绕“徒步提升创造力”展开，作者以自身经历为例。F选项“As a matter of fact, I have written many of my songs while hiking on a trail”通过具体创作实例（写歌）进一步支撑论点，且“songs”与后文“music”形成词汇复现，增强连贯性。E选项“在家独自产生创意”与段落“徒步激发创意”的主题不符。
40.B空前强调徒步对环保的直接作用（减少碳排放），空后举例说明徒步通过增强人与自然的联系间接促进环保。B选项“Beyond that, hiking benefits our planet indirectly”既承接上文，又通过“indirectly”自然引出下文例子，逻辑连贯。其他选项未涉及“环保”或“间接益处”，无法衔接上下文。
1.【原文】M: I arranged for Wi-Fi to be installed at my home on Thursday.
W: Yes, that’s correct. Everything is booked in, so don’t worry.
M: Sorry, but a problem came up and I won’t be home. I definitely need it set up soon though. How can you help me
2. 【原文】M: I’d love a relaxing weekend. Any ideas
W: I found a cat café downtown where you can have a cup of coffee and read books while playing with cats.
M: Oh, wow! That sounds perfect. I’ll definitely check it out.
3. 【原文】M: I saw the second Joker movie last night. I had no idea it was a musical. The first one wasn’t.
W: Yes! I liked the characters and story, but it was a bit long and I didn’t think it needed music.
M: I agree.
4. 【原文】M: I heard music coming from your street last night.
W: It was the festival! We lit lanterns, ate sweet rice balls, and watched the dragon dance.
M: No wonder you were tired this morning.
5. 【原文】M: My alarm clock never wakes me up. Looks like I need to change its battery.
W: Is it set correctly
M: Oops, I set it to PM instead of AM!
【答案】6. A7. A
【原文】W: Have you considered using ChatGPT for your degree thesis I’ve heard it is not against the rules, as long as you cite it.
M: Yes, I’ve considered it. It seems helpful since it can cut down on the hours spent searching for accurate sources. I’m cautious about fully trusting information generated by artificial intelligence without double-checking it though.
W: I do see your point. ChatGPT might increase your efficiency, but you should definitely cross-check its results with other sources.
M: Exactly. We need to balance speed with reliability.
W: Plus, we need to make sure our thesis has a human touch.
【答案】8. B9. B10. C
【原文】W: I still don’t know what to do — renting with friends sounds fun, but moving in with my cousin feels more stable.
M: Do you want more independence or comfort
W: That’s the problem. I want both, but in different ways.
M: I understand! Being with friends could be more social and relaxed. What about costs
W: My cousin’s flat would be 750 a month. Sharing a house with three friends would be 420 each.
M: Don’t forget you’ll have bills too. Let’s guess that bills will be about 140 each in the house share. How much is that altogether
W: Gosh, I can’t work it out! I think the flat is cheaper… But the house is in a nicer area.
M: You just need to figure out where you’d feel happiest and what you can afford.
W: I know. I don’t want to regret it either way.
【答案】11. C12. A13. B
【原文】M: Excuse me, I think this might be yours.
W: What is it
M: A bank card. I saw you get off the tube, and it was right under the seat you were sitting in.
W: Oh, that’s definitely mine! I didn’t even realize it was missing.
M: You were sitting by the window, right I noticed the name as the train doors were closing, so I jumped off to catch you.
W: I must have dropped it when I took my travel card out.
M: You have to be more careful.
W: Yeah. Honestly, thank you. I’ve been so busy this morning, rushing between meetings. I wouldn’t have noticed until lunchtime.
M: No worries. I’ve lost things on a bus before. It was really a horrible feeling.
W: You’ve saved me a lot of trouble. Let me treat you to a coffee
M: That’s kind, but I have to hurry for a connection. Just happy I caught you.
W: Well, thank you, really!
【答案】14. C15. A16. C17. B
【原文】M: Hi, Layla. Do you remember me
W: Hi, James. Of course I do! It’s great to see you. You haven’t changed much!
M: It must be nearly five years since we last met.
W: Yes. I left school in Year 10, remember
M: Yes. You had to be in hospital for quite a while, didn’t you
W: Yes. I was in hospital in Grimsby for one year. My parents thought the medical care there was better. Since then, I’ve been taking online classes.
M: Is studying online better than being at school
W: In some ways, yes. I can work at my own pace, and it’s much quieter. My grades haven’t suffered! But I miss seeing people every day.
M: That makes sense. I’m doing my A-levels now at the college in town.
W: Oh, great. Do you still hang out with anyone from our old class
M: A few of them. You should come to our meet-up next month.
W: I’d love to. Message me the details!
M: Will do. It’s really nice to see you again.
W: You too!
【答案】18. A19. A20. B
【原文】M: If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be jumping out of a plane, I’d have laughed. I hated heights. It’s not the kind of thing I enjoy doing with friends! But something changed after my grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wanted to do something meaningful that could help others affected by the same disease. So, I signed up for a charity skydive. I’d never even done a bake sale before!
We watched a safety video and we jumped from 4,000 meters. The free fall lasted for one minute, and we dropped at 200 kilometers per hour. I worked out that meant I fell roughly 3,300 meters before the parachute (降落伞) opened.
It was peaceful. You’d expect panic, but instead I felt calm. Everything looked so small, and yet I felt part of something huge.
The great part We raised 8,452 — the highest amount anyone in our area has ever raised for Alzheimer’s. But even better than the total was hearing people talk about their experience with this illness. So many had been through the same as my grandad.
I still don’t love heights, so I’ve not overcome that fear. But I’ve learned that sometimes, doing something scary opens doors — and hearts.
