W: That would be great.
Text 5
W: Hi, Jim. I haven’t seen you for several days. Have you moved into your new house already
M: Yes, and I’m so excited about it.
W: Why are you so excited
M: I used to live in a small cold room all the year round, but now things have completely changed!
Text 6

W: Hey, Jack. I think our life today is too fast. Do you think so
M: Yes. Some experts have warned that millions of us are in danger of “breakdown”, because we race through life at a crazy speed. Many of us are having our evening meals in less than ten minutes. Workers are also spending their monthly earnings well before their next payday.
W: My life is like that. I’m so tired.
M: Maybe you need a rest. How about travelling to Netherlands with me
W: Good idea!
M: All right. Shall we fly there this Sunday
W: Well, I’d like to take the ship. I’ve never done that before. It must be exciting.

M: Hello everybody. My name is David Anderson. I’m glad to be invited by the International Student Centre to give you a talk on how to protect yourselves and avoid losses, both on and off campus. First, if you, especially the girls, are in a café or restaurant, make sure that your bag is where you can keep an eye on it. If you want to leave for a while, don’t ask a stranger to take care of it. Just take it with you. Second, if you have to walk home alone late at night, stick to well-lighted areas. If you really think someone is going to hurt you, go to the nearest house and ask for help. If a car stops and asks for information, just keep well clear of the door. Third, if you drive, park in a public car park, or at least in a well-lighted area if it’s at night. Avoid the quiet dark roads, and don’t leave your passport, laptop, or cash in the car. At last, I just want to say that in this country, it is not allowed to carry a knife, or anything that can be used as a weapon, even if it’s for self-defense. Actually, this isn’t a dangerous town if you’re careful enough.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了中央公园里四种不同的野餐体验服务。
21.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Fresh baked service!—You can now add games to any picnic experience…”可知,这些野餐体验的新服务是允许顾客添加游戏。故选C项。
22.B 细节理解题。对比四个野餐体验服务中人数的信息可知,12个大人加10个儿童的家庭应选择Family-style Picnic,再根据Family-style Picnic部分中“$60.00 per adult, $30.00 per child. Includes a 2-hour picnic with set up and clean up.”可知,12个大人和10个儿童野餐2个小时共花费(60×12+30×10=)1020美元。故选B项。
23.D 细节理解题。根据Family-style Picnic部分“Our family-style picnic experience is perfect for big groups!”, Social Picnic Party部分“Perfect for meeting new friends.”,We Love This Formal Picnic!部分“Looking for something more formal This is special and for you!”和Birthday Party Picnic部分“Besides our signature birthday party cake…”可知,Family-style Picnic适合家庭聚餐,Social Picnic Party适合社交,We Love This Formal Picnic!适合较正式的野餐体验,Birthday Party Picnic适合生日聚会。由此可推知,这些野餐体验是基于野餐活动的目的而设置的。故选D项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了日球物理学的领军人物尤金·纽曼·帕克的贡献以及他对年轻人的影响。
24.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.”以及“NASA even stated that ‘the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr Eugene Parker’.”可知,帕克对整个日球物理学领域做出了极大的贡献,他是值得赞扬的。故选C。
25.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When Parker’s research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with scepticism(怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community.”以及“The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter.”可知,人们起初对帕克的“太阳风”理论持怀疑态度是因为它违背了当时的流行观点。故选A。
26.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:‘If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you’re wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.’” (那段经历可能导致了帕克经常给年轻研究人员的建议:“如果你做了一些新的或创新的事情,预计会有麻烦。但要批判性地思考,因为如果你错了,你想成为第一个知道这一点的人。”)可知,帕克给年轻人的建议是在反复试验中学习。故选C。
27.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Hailed(誉为) as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.”以及根据最后一段中“Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise.”可知,帕克是杰出且谦逊的。故选D。
C
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章通过解释地球自转速度变化的原因,特别是冰盖融化对地球自转和国际时间标准的影响,来阐述气候变化对地球自转速度及国际时间计量标准的挑战。
28.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“The rapid melting of the ice sheets at the top of Greenland and Antarctica, as measured by satellite-based gravitational measurements, is shifting more mass towards Earth’s waistline. And the extra increase is slowing the planet’s rotation (自转).”(基于卫星的重力测量显示,格陵兰岛和南极洲顶部冰盖的快速融化正在将更多的质量转移到地球的腰围上。额外的质量增加正在减缓地球的自转。)可知,地球两极冰盖的融化导致了地球自转速度的变化。故选B项。
29.B 词义猜测题。根据画线单词后文“Timekeepers have added 27 leap seconds to the clock since the idea was introduced.”(自从这个想法被引入以来,计时员已经在时钟上增加了27个闰秒。)以及第四段“The slightly slower rotation has actually delayed the need for timekeeping changes by a few years—in fact, as a result of this change, the last time a leap second was required to be added was in 2016. At the moment, in fact, Earth’s rotation and atomic clocks are nearly in sync.”(稍微慢一点的自转实际上将调整计时的需要推迟了几年——事实上,由于这种变化,上一次需要增加闰秒是在2016年。事实上,目前地球自转和原子钟几乎是同步的。)可知,闰秒的增加是为了调整计时的需要,由此可推知画线单词所在句子表达“由于需要偶尔调整原子钟和地球自转的同步,1972年诞生了‘闰秒’,这是国际计时员同意在需要时添加到UTC的一个额外时间”之意,所以tweaks应是“调整”之意,和B项adjustments(调整)意思一样。故选B项。
30.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘But the study suggests that, thanks to climate change, global timekeepers now have an extra two or three years before they need to adjust,’ notes geophysicist Jerry X. Mitrovica of Harvard University. ‘But no realistic projections of future melting can prevent the unavoidable beyond 2030. One way or another, the world is going to have to start losing time—or international timekeeping rules are due for an update,’ Mitrovica adds.”(哈佛大学的地球物理学家Jerry X. Mitrovica指出:“但是这项研究表明,由于气候变化,全球计时器现在有额外的两三年时间来调整。”“但是,对未来融化的现实预测无法阻止2030年后不可避免的融化。无论如何,世界将不得不开始失去时间——或者国际计时规则也该更新了,”米特罗维察补充道。)可知,地球自转变慢的结果是国际计时规则必须修订。故选D项。
31.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The rapid melting of the ice sheets at the top of Greenland and Antarctica, as measured by satellite-based gravitational measurements, is shifting more mass towards Earth’s waistline. And the extra increase is slowing the planet’s rotation (自转). That climate-change-driven mass shift is throwing a new challenge into international timekeeping standards.”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了气候变化对地球自转速度及国际时间计量标准的挑战,所以C项“Climate change is affecting how we keep time”(气候变化正在影响我们的计时方式)适合作为本文的标题。故选C项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种名为Carnobacterium的微生物可以在很大范围的外部压力下成功分裂和繁殖,这种适应性在地球上的其他生物中是未知的。研究人员在《天体生物学》杂志上报告说,这种坚韧性表明单个生物体可以在太阳系的不同环境中生存。
32.D 细节理解题。根据第二段“Based on previous findings of various Carnobacterium strains (菌群) growing well at high and low pressures, University of Florida microbiologist Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues systematically examined 14 strains’ responses to a wide span of pressure conditions.”(佛罗里达大学的微生物学家 Wayne Nicholson 和他的同事们基于先前对各种在高、低压力下生长良好的肉杆菌菌株的研究发现,系统地检查了 14 种菌株对广泛压力条件的反应。)可知,Wayne Nicholson 和他的同事通过测试压力条件下细菌的反应来进行他们的研究。故选 D。
33.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“Very few past studies focused on how well microbes tolerate a range of pressures, Nicholson says, but these results are nonetheless surprising given that most other organisms seem to be far more pressure-sensitive.”可知,过去很少有研究关注微生物对压力的耐受性,所以研究人员对微生物对压力的耐受性知之甚少。故选 C。
34.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Other bacteria have been shown to do well at comparably high pressures, says Felipe Gómez Gómez, an astrobiologist at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology in Madrid, who was not involved in the study. But these results are novel because they show that the same Carnobacterium strains can endure so much pressure variation. He says:‘What’s really challenging is the whole range.’ These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds. ‘This has far-reaching astrobiological implications.’”中的novel及challenging等词可知,Felipe Gómez Gómez 对这项研究持积极的态度。故选 B。
35.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research reveals that Carnobacterium, a genus often associated with spoiled meat, can successfully divide and reproduce across an enormous range of external pressures—from the equivalent of a very thin atmosphere to crushing ocean depths. This adaptability is unknown for any other life forms on Earth, researchers report in Astrobiology.”(新的研究表明,通常与腐肉有关的肉杆菌属可以在巨大范围的外部压力下成功分裂和繁殖——从相当于非常薄的大气层到高压的海洋深处。研究人员在《天体生物学》杂志上报告说,这种适应性在地球上的任何其他生命形式中都是未知的。),最后一段“These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds. ‘This has far-reaching astrobiological implications.’”(这些微生物的能力意味着它们理论上可以在外星海洋的不同深度生存,Gómez Gómez 补充说。“这具有深远的天体生物学意义。”)及全文可知,文章主要讲述了肉杆菌属可以在巨大范围的外部压力下成功分裂和繁殖,这种适应性在地球上的任何其他生命形式中都是未知的。故选 B。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了个性化学习的概念以及好处。
36.A 根据上文“Not every student is able to grasp things at the same level or pace. Yet, they were bound to that system.”以及后文“A personalized learning experience has finally taken over.”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出如今学习强调个性化,发生了改变。故A选项(但是现在,情况变了。)符合语境,故选A。
37.D 根据上文“These platforms use visuals, AI, case studies, etc.”可知,上文提到了平台提供的功能,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文,说明其作用。故D选项(它们给学生探索不同学习资源的机会。)符合语境,故选D。
38.F 根据后文“Learning is individualistic, and if the students are not confident in their own knowledge, competing with other students can feel challenging.”可知,后文提到学生要先对自己的知识有信心,即强调了学生与自己竞争。故F选项(学生首先与自己竞争,然后逐渐与他人竞争。)符合语境,故选F。
39.G 根据后文“It gives them a sense of responsibility, which drives them to learn on their own. Personalized learning also includes integrated learning, which gives students a chance to explore more knowledge independently and raise questions, as well as have discussions in classrooms or with their teachers face to face.”可知,本段主要说明了个性化学习可以让学生更加独立,G选项中independently对应后文independently。故G选项(个性化学习包括许多学生可以独立使用的学习材料和测试。)符合语境,故选G。
40.E 根据上文“Personalized learning platforms have tests and exams that students can take at their leisure to judge their performance. They get a detailed analysis of their performances, which gives them an insight into their strengths and weaknesses. They can always learn, relearn, and revise when they want to.”可知,本句承接上文,说明个性化学习平台测试和考试的好处。故E选项(这有助于他们跟踪自己的进展,而不是急于求成。)符合语境,故选E。
第三部分

One possible version:
A visit to the Achievement Expo of China Aerospace
Today’s trip to the City Museum is really a memorable experience and this will be graved in my mind forever.
All Senior 3 students visited an exhibition themed on “Achievements of China Aerospace”. First, we attended informative lectures and watched extremely exciting videos of rocket launching, which helped us to get deeper insights into China aerospace. Then came the highlight, experiencing thrilling and funny spacewalks in almost zero gravity.
Amazed by the outstanding achievements and touched by the spirit of China aerospace experts, I was soon lost in deep thought. I have made up my mind to apply myself to study so that I can make contributions to our country like them one day.

【思路点拨】 文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了高中生Sarah对烘焙充满热情,她梦想有一天能开一家自己的烘焙店。为了提高技能和获得实践经验,她每周六都会在一个公园设立一个小摊位,出售自制的曲奇和蛋糕。一天,她注意到一位忧郁的老妇人独自坐在公园的长椅上陷入沉思。Sarah给老人端来一杯茶和一块巧克力蛋糕,并开始与之交谈。老妇人介绍她自己为威尔逊夫人,退休前是一名烘焙师,自从一星期前丈夫因癌症去世后她一直独居,来公园是她躲避孤独的方式。Sarah倾听着威尔逊夫人的故事,内心深受触动。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Sarah决定帮助威尔逊夫人摆脱困境。”可知,第一段可描写两人因烘焙而建立了联系,并且随着两人之间对话和互动更加频繁,关系进一步深化。
②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移,她们难以置信的友谊在公园引起了注意。”可知,第二段可描写Sarah的善举引发了人们的关注,越来越多的人付出爱心,关爱孤独的威尔逊夫人。还可以描写Sarah的烘焙能力得到大家的认可,最终她成功拥有了一家自己的烘焙店。
2.续写线索:Sarah请威尔逊夫人吃甜点—两人聊天—Sarah安慰威尔逊夫人—威尔逊夫人的悲伤逐渐消除—威尔逊夫人给Sarah分享烘焙经验—威尔逊夫人得到更多关爱—Sarah最终开了烘焙店
One possible version:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs Wilson(时间状语从句), she would treat Mrs Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs Wilson feel she was cared about(宾语从句). Influenced by Sarah’s kindness(过去分词作状语),Mrs Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Sarah’s desserts(时间状语从句的省略结构), Mrs Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream.
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to buy desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends(find+宾语+宾补), whose company helped her get out of loneliness(定语从句). Assisted by Mrs Wilson(过去分词作状语), the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story(定语从句).单元素养测评卷(六)

Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in heliospheric(日球层的) physics for the past half century, passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15. He was 94.
Hailed(誉为) as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system. NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr Eugene Parker”. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honour.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”, a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun. It can become violent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker’s research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with scepticism(怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter. But, there were no errors in his study or his calculations, and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you’re wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students, thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise. His son Eric said, “My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death, they travelled to Lund, Sweden, to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
( )24.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B.The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.
C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.
D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.
( )25.Why did people view Parker’s theory of “solar wind” sceptically at first
A.It went against the popular opinion at that time.
B.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.
C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.
D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.
( )26.What did Parker suggest young researchers do
A.Seek close cooperation.
B.Avoid high expectations.
C.Learn by trial and error.
D.Compete against others.
( )27.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage
A.Straightforward and generous.
B.Responsible and accessible.
C.Intelligent yet conservative.
D.Distinguished yet modest.

The rapid melting of the ice sheets at the top of Greenland and Antarctica, as measured by satellite-based gravitational measurements, is shifting more mass towards Earth’s waistline. And the extra increase is slowing the planet’s rotation (自转). That climate-change-driven mass shift is throwing a new challenge into international timekeeping standards.
The internationally agreed-upon coordinated (协调) universal time, or UTC, is set by atomic clocks, but that time is regularly adjusted to match Earth’s actual rotation. Earth’s rotation isn’t always smooth sailing—the speed of the planet’s spin changes depending on a variety of factors, including gravitational drag from the sun and the moon, changes to the rotation speed of Earth’s core, friction (摩擦) between ocean waters and the seafloor, and shifts in the planet’s distribution of mass around its surface. But the impact of the quake is much smaller than that of the ice sheets’ melting. Humankind has done something that affects, measurably, the rotation rate of the entire Earth.
The need for occasional tweaks to the synchronization (同步) of atomic clocks and Earth’s rotation gave birth to the “leap second” in 1972, an extra tick that international timekeepers agreed to add to UTC as needed. Timekeepers have added 27 leap seconds to the clock since the idea was introduced.
The slightly slower rotation has actually delayed the need for timekeeping changes by a few years—in fact, as a result of this change, the last time a leap second was required to be added was in 2016. At the moment, in fact, Earth’s rotation and atomic clocks are nearly in sync.
“But the study suggests that, thanks to climate change, global timekeepers now have an extra two or three years before they need to adjust,” notes geophysicist Jerry X. Mitrovica of Harvard University. “But no realistic projections of future melting can prevent the unavoidable beyond 2030. One way or another, the world is going to have to start losing time—or international timekeeping rules are due for an update,” Mitrovica adds.
( )28.What is causing the change in Earth’s rotation speed
A.Friction between ocean and land.
B.Melting of ice sheets at Earth’s poles.
C.Gravitational drag from Earth.
D.Direction of spin of Earth’s core.
( )29.What does the underlined word “tweaks” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Investigations. B.Adjustments.
C.Objections. D.Applications.
( )30.What is a result of slower rotation of Earth
A.International timekeeping study will disappear.
B.“Leap second” will be put into use more frequently.
C.Wider gaps will arise between UTC and atomic clocks.
D.International timekeeping rules will have to be revised.
( )31.Which can be the best title for the text
A.Atomic clocks matter in global timekeeping
B.Earth’s rotation affects the accuracy of time
C.Climate change is affecting how we keep time
D.Earth’s slower rotation worsens climate change
D
When it comes to thriving under pressure, microbes (微生物) have us solidly beat. New research reveals that Carnobacterium, a genus often associated with spoiled meat, can successfully divide and reproduce across an enormous range of external pressures—from the equivalent of a very thin atmosphere to crushing ocean depths. This adaptability is unknown for any other life forms on Earth, researchers report in Astrobiology. Such hardiness suggests a single organism could survive in totally different environments throughout the solar system.
Based on previous findings of various Carnobacterium strains (菌群) growing well at high and low pressures, University of Florida microbiologist Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues systematically examined 14 strains’ responses to a wide span of pressure conditions. The team focused on strains isolated not only from meat (including seafood, chicken, etc.) but also from Siberian permafrost, an Antarctic lake and deep within the North Pacific’s Aleutian Trench.
In the laboratory, Nicholson and his team exposed each strain to pressures ranging from 0.01 to 100 times Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level—corresponding to the pressures on the surface of Mars and inside the liquid water ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa, respectively. The researchers found that 11 strains grew measurably at every pressure tested. Very few past studies focused on how well microbes tolerate a range of pressures, Nicholson says, but these results are nonetheless surprising given that most other organisms seem to be far more pressure-sensitive. “Humans have trouble breathing on Mount Qomolangma,” he notes, “and that’s about 30 percent of sea-level atmospheric pressure.”
Other bacteria have been shown to do well at comparably high pressures, says Felipe Gómez Gómez, an astrobiologist at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology in Madrid, who was not involved in the study. But these results are novel because they show that the same Carnobacterium strains can endure so much pressure variation. He says:“What’s really challenging is the whole range.” These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds. “This has far-reaching astrobiological implications.”
( )32.How did Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues carry out their research
A.Doing a survey. B.Listing examples.
C.Making a model. D.Doing tests.
( )33.What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A.The results were not surprising at all.
B.Researchers found that many strains could change during pressures.
C.Researchers hardly knew the organism’s toleration on pressure in old days.
D.The research showed why man can’t take a breath smoothly on Mount Qomolangma.
( )34.What’s Felipe Gómez Gómez’s attitude towards the research
A.Objective. B.Positive.
C.Indifferent. D.Critical.
( )35.Which of the following is most probably the main idea
A.Bacteria can survive at different depths.
B.Microbes withstand the solar system’s pressure.
C.All life forms’ adaptations in pressure are proved.
D.Carnobacterium strains have thrived at great pressures.

Almost a decade ago, the education system was rigid (僵化的) and not very tolerant of the needs of students. Not every student is able to grasp things at the same level or pace. Yet, they were bound to that system. 36. A personalized learning experience has finally taken over. Educators and institutes are installing personalized learning software into the education system. The goal is to analyse the skill sets of each student and enhance them through digital media. These platforms use visuals, AI, case studies, etc. 37.
Personalized learning helps reduce the pressure of keeping up with everyone else and promotes the idea of learning at your own pace. Personalized education makes personal growth the first priority. 38. Learning is individualistic, and if the students are not confident in their own knowledge, competing with other students can feel challenging.
39. It gives them a sense of responsibility, which drives them to learn on their own. Personalized learning also includes integrated learning, which gives students a chance to explore more knowledge independently and raise questions, as well as have discussions in classrooms or with their teachers face to face.
Personalized learning platforms have tests and exams that students can take at their leisure to judge their performance. They get a detailed analysis of their performances, which gives them an insight into their strengths and weaknesses. They can always learn, relearn, and revise when they want to. 40. It not only makes the students more productive, but it also helps improve their mental and physical health as they have more peace of mind.
A.But now, it has changed.
B.And their academic performance suffered.
C.Personalized learning includes discussion among students.
D.They give students the chance to explore different learning sources.
E.This helps them keep track of their progress and not rush into things.
F.Students compete with themselves first and then gradually with others.
G.Personalized learning includes many study materials and tests students can use independently.

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。
Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colourful home-made cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favourite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out.
Paragraph 2:
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park.
