My life experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by my hardworking single mother on Australia’s Gold Coast, I was encouraged to pursue higher education. Though I ranked top academically, my passion was cooking, a path my mother hesitated to support due to its challenges. To please her, I attended university while working part- time as a chef. However, my love for the kitchen soon surpassed my studies, and I dropped out to pursue cooking
full-time.
Over the next 12 years, I climbed the ranks as a chef, landing head chef positions in North Queensland. Life seemed perfect—I was engaged, had great friends and enjoyed stability. Yet, a lingering restlessness grew within me. A trip to Bali became a turning point. I realized I desired something beyond conventional (守旧) existence. Despite guilt, I walked away from my settled life, returning to my mother’s home on the Gold Coast.
Soon, I fell back into old patterns—working in kitchens and feeling unfulfilled. Then, Instagram changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. By 2012, my audience grew to 200,000 followers, and tourism boards began reaching out.
Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time.
The early days were tough. I created a “solo influencer package”, offering brands social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly
popular. I traveled on and on—50 trips a year at my peak—while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management.
Now, I run a multifaceted (多层面) business, including photography, social media, and travel. I co-founded
the Travel Bootcamp, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my wife’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support.
My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Money is no longer the main driver—instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose.
What does the underlined word “surpassed” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Went beyond. B. Broke up. C. Controlled. D. Improved.
Why did the author quit his job in North Queensland
He wanted to make a trip to Bali. B. He didn’t enjoy working in the kitchen.
C He was eager to experience more in life. D. He preferred to live a conventional life.
What is the main idea of paragraph 4
Why Instagram changed the author’s mindset.
Why followers liked to read the author’s posts.
How Internet benefited millions of online users.
How the author started a career as a solo influencer.
What message does the text convey
Big results require big ambitions. B. The future is built on great ideas.
C. Bravery never goes out of fashion. D. Your heart is the birthplace of dreams.
C
When eagles search for food, they can pick up all sorts of things in the bodies of the animals they eat. One dangerous substance is lead (铅), often from ammunition (弹药) found in dead animals. A long-term study has discovered widespread, frequent lead poisoning in bald eagles and golden eagles in North America. The levels are high enough to negatively impact populations of both species.
For their study, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, Conservation Science Global, Inc., and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, evaluated lead exposure in bald and golden eagles from 2010 to 2018. They looked for lead exposure in samples from 1,210 bald and golden eagles from 38 states across North America. Their study group
included 620 live eagles.
Almost 50% of the eagles in the study showed repeated exposure to lead, which was measured in bone samples. About one-third showed short-term exposure, which was calculated in feathers, blood, and liver samples.
Researchers also found that the frequency of lead poisoning was influenced by the birds’ age. For bald eagles, it was also affected by region and by season. Levels were higher in winter when eagles rely more heavily on using dead animals as a food source because live ones are more difficult to find.
The study suggests that poisoning at this rate is causing population growth to slow by 3.8% for bald eagles annually and by 0.8% for golden eagles each year.
Researchers say the study findings are key to helping with conservation methods for eagles. At Conservation Science Global, Slabe says the group has started programs to familiarize hunters with non-lead ammunition.
Hunters are offered free or discounted ammunition to try out options that are safer for eagles. Slabe says, “As a result, many hunters voluntarily switch to non-lead ammunition so the offal (内脏) they leave behind do not negatively impact eagles by poisoning their food source.”
What does the study focus on
The source of lead in eagles’ bodies.
The effect of lead on eagle populations.
C How to prevent eagles from being poisonous.
D. How to help eagles reproduce more quickly.
How was the study conducted
By comparing eagle species. B. By analyzing samples.
C. By interviewing birdwatchers. D. By tracking eagles’ behavior.
What is one of the findings of the study
50% of eagle deaths were associated with lead poisoning.
Old eagles were more likely to suffer from lead poisoning.
Lead poisoning in eagles occurred more frequently in winter.
Golden eagles are more resistant to lead poisoning than bald eagles.
Which word best describes the measures taken by Conservation Science Global
A. Creative. B. Tough. C. Complex. D. Practical.
D
At any given moment, millions of people suffer from undiagnosed (未确诊) health conditions—diabetes,
vitamin deficiencies, or even early signs of neurological diseases—that could be detected earlier with better monitoring. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that delayed diagnosis contributes to nearly 20% of preventable health complications (并发症). What if there was a way to continuously track key health markers without invasive blood tests or frequent doctor visits
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking smart contact lens (隐形眼镜) that can analyze tears to monitor health in real time. Inspired by the natural composition of tears, the lens uses ultra-thin sensors to detect changes in these substances. Their waves can indicate dehydration, high blood sugar, or even signs of stress.
The new technology is built on a flexible hydrogel (水凝胶) equipped with biological sensors that react to specific biomarkers. When these substances interact with the sensors, the lens sends out light signals that can be captured by a smartphone camera. An accompanying app then translates these signals into easy-to-understand
health data, warning the wearer if any levels fall outside the normal range. The hydrogel material is comfortable for extended wear and minimizes wear-related stress, making it suitable for daily use. Additionally, the lens is designed to maintain clear vision while performing its monitoring functions, ensuring no damage to the wearer’s sight.
In tests, the lenses successfully detected abnormal sugar levels in diabetic patients within seconds. When the smartphone app processes the light signals, it provides instant feedback, allowing users to take immediate action if necessary.
“While further clinical testing is needed before this technology can be widely adopted our work represents a
major step forward in non-invasive health monitoring,” said Dr. Elena Vasquez from Stanford University. “Future versions could integrate additional features, such as drug delivery for conditions like glaucoma, which will be a key focus of our next research phase. We are also exploring partnerships with healthcare providers to make this technology accessible to underserved populations.”
What does the author stress in paragraph 1
The urgency for early detection of health issues.
The inefficiency of traditional diagnostic methods.
The growing burden of deadly diseases worldwide.
The high cost of monitoring people’s health condition.
Why is a hydrogel used in the smart contact lens
To change the contact lens’ color. B. To replace the smartphone camera.
C. To store real-time health data. D. To ensure comfort and clear vision.
What is Dr. Elena Vasquez’s suggestion about
The future plans of the research.
The limitations of future version.
The challenges of producing the lenses.
The practical applications of the technology.
What can be a suitable title for the text
Tears Uncover Your Health Secret. B. Contact Lens cure Diseases.
C. Smart Lens detect Diseases Early. D. Hydrogel Improves Eyesight.

Stagnation (停滞) is the silent thief of energy. The longer we stay still — physically, mentally or emotionally
— the more our life energy gets blocked. 16 The solution is not dramatic transformation, but gentle,
persistent movement toward strength and joy.
The body is our source of energy. 17 To change this, build 30 minutes of movement into your day—
be it stretching, walking, dancing, or simply standing up more frequently. Cook your own meals when you can. Eating less processed food and more whole food will lighten your digestive load and awaken your physical clarity.
A curious mind is a flowing mind. Mental stagnation happens when we stop exposing ourselves to new ideas. Read a few pages daily. Take up a new hobby, or revisit one you dropped. 18 Writing even half a page a
day can clear the fog in your mind and help you process complex thoughts with greater ease.
19 When we suppress how we feel especially anger, sadness or fear, we store it in our bodies which
leads to stress. Create safe outlets for emotional expression: talk with a friend, cry when you need to scream into a pillow, or simply write it down. Let your emotions pass through, not pile up.
Energy expands in connection. If your circle wears you out, it’s time to make changes. Reach out to someone who inspires you, join a group with shared interests, or simply spend quality time with loved ones. 20
Trapped emotions are heavy.
And don’t underestimate the power of journaling.
Take rest seriously— meditate, nap and spend time alone.
Deep conversations and shared experiences fuel your emotional flow.
The energy around us influences our internal state far more than we realize.
Long hours of sitting, poor sleep, and an inactive lifestyle slow down blood flow.
Just like a river that stops flowing becomes cloudy, stagnation in life increases stress.

experience was so 29 that more confirmations started to follow.
Not long after, I gave up my 30 home and became a full-time house sitter. Living this way requires a
good amount of 31 and daily time devoted to searching for new opportunities, but the 32 have
been enormous. In just one year, I saved over 12,000, while living in beautiful homes. With the savings, I was able to start 33 again, alternating (交替) periods of house sitting with time spent exploring new countries.
So far I’ve completed 30 sits, all with 5-star 34 . Thanks to this platform, I’ve had extraordinary
experiences, met wonderful people, and most importantly, I’ve 35 felt at home, wherever I am in the

According to the Chinese solar terms, during Major Heat, most parts of China experience the 36
(hot) days of the year. On scorching summer days, we modern people can enjoy cold drinks in an air-conditioned room to escape the heat. But how did ancient people cool down 37 these modern-day technologies
As early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. According to the record in the Confucian classic Zhou Rites, the Zhou royal court had a specialized department called the “ice administration” which had 80 38 (employee). The department 39 (collect) natural ice blocks

Mia had always loved to draw. Ever since she could hold a pencil, she had filled sketchbooks with worlds only she could imagine. Life on Mars, dark waters beneath Antarctica’s ice sheets, an upside-down Earth in another universe — these flowed from her pencil as her imagination ran wild. Now a high school student, she was preparing for an important art competition. Her latest sketchbook held her best ideas, pages of carefully crafted characters and landscapes she had worked on for months.
One bright Saturday afternoon, Mia went to the park to sketch under her favorite oak tree. She set her sketchbook beside her and focused on capturing the golden sunlight through the yellow-and-brown leaves dancing in the air. Lost in her imagination, she didn’t notice a gust of wind sweeping through the park — until it was too late.
After pulling her arm from her face, Mia reached for her sketchbook. But it was gone.
Panic coursed through her. She searched the grass, looked behind the tree and even checked the nearby benches. No hint of her precious sketchbook could be found. With her heart pounding, she ran to the exit of the park, looking carefully at the crowd before her. Had someone picked it up
Just then, a voice interrupted her thoughts. “Looking for something ”
Mia turned to see a boy around her age holding a worn-out notebook. His clothes were dirty with charcoal (炭笔), and a pencil stuck out from behind his ear.
“My sketchbook — it has a red cover,” she said anxiously.
The boy shook his head. “Haven’t seen it, but I can help you look. I’m Leo, by the way.” Mia hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Mia,” she replied.
Together, they retraced her steps, asking if anyone had seen a red sketchbook. An elderly woman said a child picked up something near the oak tree. A little girl in a pink dress saw a boy waving something red to his parents. Each clue brought them closer, but Mia couldn’t shake her doubt: What if it was already gone
注意：
续写词数应为 150 左右；
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Let’s go to the lost and found stand,” Leo suggested.
As they were leaving in disappointment, a boy showed up.

My life experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by my hardworking single mother on Australia’s Gold Coast, I was encouraged to pursue higher education. Though I ranked top academically, my passion was cooking, a path my mother hesitated to support due to its challenges. To please her, I attended university while working part- time as a chef. However, my love for the kitchen soon surpassed my studies, and I dropped out to pursue cooking
full-time.
Over the next 12 years, I climbed the ranks as a chef, landing head chef positions in North Queensland. Life seemed perfect—I was engaged, had great friends and enjoyed stability. Yet, a lingering restlessness grew within me. A trip to Bali became a turning point. I realized I desired something beyond conventional (守旧) existence. Despite guilt, I walked away from my settled life, returning to my mother’s home on the Gold Coast.
Soon, I fell back into old patterns—working in kitchens and feeling unfulfilled. Then, Instagram changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. By 2012, my audience grew to 200,000 followers, and tourism boards began reaching out.
Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time.
The early days were tough. I created a “solo influencer package”, offering brands social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly popular. I traveled on and on—50 trips a year at my peak—while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management.
Now, I run a multifaceted (多层面) business, including photography, social media, and travel. I co-founded
the Travel Bootcamp, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my wife’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support.
My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Money is no longer the main driver—instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose.
What does the underlined word “surpassed” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Went beyond. B. Broke up. C. Controlled. D. Improved.
Why did the author quit his job in North Queensland
He wanted to make a trip to Bali. B. He didn’t enjoy working in the kitchen.

When eagles search for food, they can pick up all sorts of things in the bodies of the animals they eat. One dangerous substance is lead (铅), often from ammunition (弹药) found in dead animals. A long-term study has discovered widespread, frequent lead poisoning in bald eagles and golden eagles in North America. The levels are high enough to negatively impact populations of both species.
For their study, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, Conservation Science Global, Inc., and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, evaluated lead exposure in bald and golden eagles from 2010 to 2018. They looked for lead exposure in samples from 1,210 bald and golden eagles from 38 states across North America. Their study group included 620 live eagles.
Almost 50% of the eagles in the study showed repeated exposure to lead, which was measured in bone samples. About one-third showed short-term exposure, which was calculated in feathers, blood, and liver samples.
Researchers also found that the frequency of lead poisoning was influenced by the birds’ age. For bald eagles, it was also affected by region and by season. Levels were higher in winter when eagles rely more heavily on using dead animals as a food source because live ones are more difficult to find.
The study suggests that poisoning at this rate is causing population growth to slow by 3.8% for bald eagles
annually and by 0.8% for golden eagles each year.
Researchers say the study findings are key to helping with conservation methods for eagles. At Conservation Science Global, Slabe says the group has started programs to familiarize hunters with non-lead ammunition.
Hunters are offered free or discounted ammunition to try out options that are safer for eagles. Slabe says, “As a result, many hunters voluntarily switch to non-lead ammunition so the offal (内脏) they leave behind do not negatively impact eagles by poisoning their food source.”
8 What does the study focus on
The source of lead in eagles’ bodies.
The effect of lead on eagle populations.
How to prevent eagles from being poisonous.
How to help eagles reproduce more quickly.
How was the study conducted
By comparing eagle species. B. By analyzing samples.
C. By interviewing birdwatchers. D. By tracking eagles’ behavior.
What is one of the findings of the study
50% of eagle deaths were associated with lead poisoning.
Old eagles were more likely to suffer from lead poisoning.

At any given moment, millions of people suffer from undiagnosed (未确诊) health conditions—diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or even early signs of neurological diseases—that could be detected earlier with better monitoring. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that delayed diagnosis contributes to nearly 20% of
preventable health complications (并发症). What if there was a way to continuously track key health markers without invasive blood tests or frequent doctor visits
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking smart contact lens (隐形眼镜) that can analyze tears to monitor health in real time. Inspired by the natural composition of tears, the lens uses ultra-thin sensors to detect changes in these substances. Their waves can indicate dehydration, high blood sugar, or even signs of stress.
The new technology is built on a flexible hydrogel (水凝胶) equipped with biological sensors that react to specific biomarkers. When these substances interact with the sensors, the lens sends out light signals that can be captured by a smartphone camera. An accompanying app then translates these signals into easy-to-understand
health data, warning the wearer if any levels fall outside the normal range. The hydrogel material is comfortable for extended wear and minimizes wear-related stress, making it suitable for daily use. Additionally, the lens is designed to maintain clear vision while performing its monitoring functions, ensuring no damage to the wearer’s sight.
In tests, the lenses successfully detected abnormal sugar levels in diabetic patients within seconds. When the smartphone app processes the light signals, it provides instant feedback, allowing users to take immediate action if necessary.
“While further clinical testing is needed before this technology can be widely adopted, our work represents a major step forward in non-invasive health monitoring,” said Dr. Elena Vasquez from Stanford University. “Future versions could integrate additional features, such as drug delivery for conditions like glaucoma, which will be a key focus of our next research phase. We are also exploring partnerships with healthcare providers to make this technology accessible to underserved populations.”
What does the author stress in paragraph 1
The urgency for early detection of health issues.
The inefficiency of traditional diagnostic methods.
The growing burden of deadly diseases worldwide.
The high cost of monitoring people’s health condition.
Why is a hydrogel used in the smart contact lens
To change the contact lens’ color. B. To replace the smartphone camera.
C. To store real-time health data. D. To ensure comfort and clear vision.
What is Dr. Elena Vasquez’s suggestion about
The future plans of the research.
The limitations of future version.
The challenges of producing the lenses.
The practical applications of the technology.
What can be a suitable title for the text
Tears Uncover Your Health Secret. B. Contact Lens cure Diseases.
C. Smart Lens detect Diseases Early. D. Hydrogel Improves Eyesight.

第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
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。
Stagnation (停滞) is the silent thief of energy. The longer we stay still — physically, mentally or emotionally
— the more our life energy gets blocked. 16 The solution is not dramatic transformation, but gentle,
persistent movement toward strength and joy.
The body is our source of energy. 17 To change this, build 30 minutes of movement into your day—
be it stretching, walking, dancing, or simply standing up more frequently. Cook your own meals when you can. Eating less processed food and more whole food will lighten your digestive load and awaken your physical clarity.
A curious mind is a flowing mind. Mental stagnation happens when we stop exposing ourselves to new ideas. Read a few pages daily. Take up a new hobby, or revisit one you dropped. 18 Writing even half a page a
day can clear the fog in your mind and help you process complex thoughts with greater ease.
19 When we suppress how we feel especially anger, sadness or fear, we store it in our bodies which
leads to stress. Create safe outlets for emotional expression: talk with a friend, cry when you need to scream into a pillow, or simply write it down. Let your emotions pass through, not pile up.
Energy expands in connection. If your circle wears you out, it’s time to make changes. Reach out to someone who inspires you, join a group with shared interests, or simply spend quality time with loved ones. 20
Trapped emotions are heavy.
And don’t underestimate the power of journaling.
Take rest seriously— meditate, nap and spend time alone.
Deep conversations and shared experiences fuel your emotional flow.
The energy around us influences our internal state far more than we realize.
Long hours of sitting, poor sleep, and an inactive lifestyle slow down blood flow.
Just like a river that stops flowing becomes cloudy, stagnation in life increases stress.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. B 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了停滞（缺乏活动或进步）如何阻碍我们的生命能量，并给出了四个方面的建议来改善这种状况。

【17 题详解】
上文“The body is our source of energy.(身体是我们的能量来源。)”指出了身体是能量的源泉；F 选项 “Long hours of sitting, poor sleep, and an inactive lifestyle slow down blood flow.(长时间的坐着、睡眠不足和不活跃的生活方式会减慢血液循环。)”则具体说明了不良的生活习惯如何影响身体的能量源泉，即减慢血液循环，从而与上文形成了逻辑上的连贯。故选 F。
【18 题详解】
上文提到“Take up a new hobby, or revisit one you dropped.(培养一个新的爱好，或者重拾一个你放弃过的爱好。)”，建议通过培养或重拾爱好来保持思维的活跃；B 选项“And don’t underestimate the power of journaling.(而且不要低估写日记的力量。)”则进一步提出了写日记这一具体做法，作为保持思维活跃的一种方式，与上文形成了补充关系。故选 B。
【19 题详解】
下文“When we suppress how we feel especially anger, sadness or fear, we store it in our bodies which leads to stress.(当我们压抑自己的感受，尤其是愤怒、悲伤或恐惧时，我们会把这些情绪储存在身体里，从而导致压力。)”说明了压抑情绪会导致压力；A 选项“Trapped emotions are heavy.(被压抑的情绪是沉重的。)”则直接概括了下文的主旨，即被压抑的情绪会带来负面影响，与下文形成了紧密的联系。故选 A。
【20 题详解】
上文提到“Reach out to someone who inspires you, join a group with shared interests, or simply spend quality time with loved ones.(联系那些激励你的人，加入一个有共同兴趣的小组，或者简单地与亲人共度美好时
光。)”，建议通过社交活动来扩展能量；D 选项“Deep conversations and shared experiences fuel your emotional flow.(深入的交谈和共享的经历会激发你的情感流动。)”则进一步解释了社交活动如何促进情感的流动，从而与上文形成了逻辑上的延伸。故选 D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是中国古代在没有现代制冷技术的情况下，如何利用天然冰和特制工具来降温避暑的方法。
【36 题详解】
考查最高级。句意：根据中国的节气，在大暑期间，中国大部分地区都经历了一年中最热的日子。空前有
the，空格处用最高级 hottest，故填 hottest。
【37 题详解】
考查介词。句意：但是，没有这些现代科技，古人是如何降温的呢？根据语境可知，句子表示“没有这些现代科技，古人是如何降温的呢”，空格处意为“没有”，用介词 without，故填 without。
【38 题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：根据儒家经典《周礼》的记载，周朝有一个专门的部门，叫做“冰政”，有 80 名雇员。空前有 80，空格处用复数，故填 employees。
【39 题详解】

【42 题详解】
考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：在清朝，“冰票”是分发给官员，而不是直接送冰给他们。“冰票”是被分发，且描述过去的事情，因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态，主语“ice tickets”是复数，因此空格处是 were distributed，故填 were distributed。
【43 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最常用的降温工具是一种名为“鉴”的大容器，里面装满了冰块。句中谓语是 is called，空格处用非谓语动词，container 和 fill 之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填 filled。
【44 题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这种“鉴”可以被视为一种古老的冰箱，可以用来制作冷饮。refrigerator 是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，ancient 是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用 an，故填 an。
【45 题详解】
考查不定式。句意：这种“鉴”可以被视为一种古老的冰箱，可以用来制作冷饮。“鉴”可以被用来做冷饮，sth. be used to do 意为“某物被用来做某事”，因此空格处用不定式 to make，故填 to make。

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。
Mia had always loved to draw. Ever since she could hold a pencil, she had filled sketchbooks with worlds only she could imagine. Life on Mars, dark waters beneath Antarctica’s ice sheets, an upside-down Earth in another universe — these flowed from her pencil as her imagination ran wild. Now a high school student, she was preparing for an important art competition. Her latest sketchbook held her best ideas, pages of carefully crafted characters and landscapes she had worked on for months.
One bright Saturday afternoon, Mia went to the park to sketch under her favorite oak tree. She set her sketchbook beside her and focused on capturing the golden sunlight through the yellow-and-brown leaves dancing in the air. Lost in her imagination, she didn’t notice a gust of wind sweeping through the park — until it was too late.
After pulling her arm from her face, Mia reached for her sketchbook. But it was gone.
Panic coursed through her. She searched the grass, looked behind the tree and even checked the nearby benches. No hint of her precious sketchbook could be found. With her heart pounding, she ran to the exit of the park, looking carefully at the crowd before her. Had someone picked it up
Just then, a voice interrupted her thoughts. “Looking for something ”
Mia turned to see a boy around her age holding a worn-out notebook. His clothes were dirty with charcoal (炭笔), and a pencil stuck out from behind his ear.
“My sketchbook — it has a red cover,” she said anxiously.
The boy shook his head. “Haven’t seen it, but I can help you look. I’m Leo, by the way.” Mia hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Mia,” she replied.
Together, they retraced her steps, asking if anyone had seen a red sketchbook. An elderly woman said a child picked up something near the oak tree. A little girl in a pink dress saw a boy waving something red to his parents. Each clue brought them closer, but Mia couldn’t shake her doubt: What if it was already gone
