A fearless Chinese teenager, Li Yike, has amazed the world with her solo overseas journey, proving that young people can chase their dreams with courage and careful planning. Last November, the 18-year-old embarked on a life-changing trip, spending 35 days traveling across seven countries — including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, and Egypt — on an incredibly tight budget of just 11,500 yuan (US$1,600). Her journey wasn’t just about visiting new places; it was a bold step to break free from routine and see the world through her own eyes.
To stick strictly to her budget, Li made practical choices: she took overland trains and budget flights whenever possible, stayed in affordable youth hostels that offered a chance to meet other travelers, and even camped in airport lounges on a few nights when late arrivals left her with no better options. She also prioritized safety: cutting her hair short and wearing unisex clothing to avoid drawing unwanted attention, especially in areas where she was unfamiliar with local customs. Li, who had taken a gap year after graduating from an international secondary school, said she’d long dreamed of experiencing the world “she had only read about in books and seen in documentaries” instead of staying in her comfortable but limited daily life.
After returning home, Li shared her vivid travel stories and stunning photos online, hoping to inspire her peers to pursue their own dreams bravely. However, her positivity was soon met with negativity — she faced cyberbullying and malicious rumors, including false claims that her trip was funded by her family’s wealth or even questionable sources. Undeterred by the unfair criticism, Li posted a detailed breakdown of her expenses online, clearly showing how she saved on transportation and accommodation, and she kept sharing her adventures without letting the negativity stop her.
Her resilience quickly struck a chord with many people. Thousands of young netizens flooded her page with praise for her independence and courage, with one popular comment reading: “She’s living the courage we all wish for.” Reflecting on her journey, Li said firmly, “Age shouldn’t limit our curiosity. The world is there to be explored, as long as you’re well prepared. Don’t let fear hold you back from what you want to do.”
24. Which method did Li Yike use to ensure her safety during the journey
A. Changing her appearance.
B. Learning basic self-defense skills.
C. Avoiding local strangers.
D. Carrying emergency alert devices.
25. What likely motivated Li Yike to travel alone
A. To experience the world firsthand.
B. To become an influencer through challenges.
C. To escape academic pressure during her gap year.
D. To prove traveling alone is safe.
26. How did Li Yike respond to negative comments and rumors online
A. She felt discouraged and paused her posts.
B. She deleted all posts to avoid controversy.
C. She apologized and explained her family background.
D. She used facts to defend herself and continued sharing.
27. What touched young netizens most about Li’s journey
A. Her ability to visit seven countries in just over a month.
B. Her skills in handling all travel arrangements alone.
C. Her talent for photography and vivid storytelling.
D. Her courage to pursue her aspirations independently.
C
The most popular tourism sites in Europe are expected to attract a record number of tourists this summer season. With travelers avoiding traditional hotspots like the US and Middle Eastern states, European cities and islands are struggling with increasing pressure from over-tourism. Though Europe has been called the world’s museum, these huge crowds have also made it ground zero for concerns about over-tourism.
In Spain, anti-tourism activists, academics, and the government argue that over-tourism is driving up housing costs in city centers and popular areas due to short-term rentals (出租). Others complain that the character of city neighborhoods is changing as local shops are replaced by souvenir stores, international chains, and trendy restaurants. Angelos Varvarousis, a Barcelona and Athens-based urban planner, warned that local community events, traditional festivals, or cultural gatherings that are important for the local residents’ sense of identity and community may be disrupted or overshadowed by the focus on tourism.
Governments are attempting to better manage tourist numbers by promoting alternative destinations. In London and Paris, authorities have limited rental apartments to 90 days annually to prevent them from becoming full-time hotels. Barcelona has stopped issuing short term rental licenses, so they will no longer be available after 2028. While promoting quieter destinations attracts some visitors, the overall rise in tourism means that these tourists are simply replaced by new ones in the same hotspots, with no significant drop in numbers. Laws regulating rental nights are hard to police. Barcelona’s ban has not eased its housing crisis either, and it will be difficult to assess whether the policy has been effective until it comes into full effect in 2028.
While local measures are being introduced to address over-tourism a broader, more global perspective is needed to ensure the sustainable future of tourism, Gloria Guevara Manzo, President & CEO of the World Tourism and Travel Council, stresses that tourism should not only focus on growth but also on its impact on local cultures and communities. “The element of responsibility needs to be brought into this through cooperation with all relevant parties with an interest in ensuring a sustainable future,” she said.
28. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Completely destroyed. B. Partly downplayed.
C. Well protected. D. Widely spread.
29. Which word can we use to describe governments’ efforts on over-tourism
A. Well-received. B. Ineffective. C. Productive. D. Fruitful.
30. According to Gloria, what is needed for sustainable tourism
A. Focusing on tourist groups and cultures as well.
B. Ignoring the impact of tourism on local cultures.
C. Working with related parties to take responsibility.
D. Promoting quiet destinations to attract some visitors.
31. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage
A. Europe’s Tourism: From World’s Museum to Over-tourism Crisis
B. Government Action: Targeting Tourism’s Negative Side Effects
C. Tourism Trend: Ongoing Rise in Europe’s Popular Destinations
D. Europe’s Tourism Future: Toward a Global Path for Sustainability
D
The alarming accumulation of micro-plastics in global water systems has long been an environmental crisis. These tiny particles even get into the most faraway water-based ecosystems and enter the human food chain. Traditional removal methods, which depend on filtration or chemical breakdown, have been found either not effective for micro-plastics smaller than 5 micrometers or harmful to life in the water. This difficulty has pushed scientists around the world to look for new solutions that balance effectiveness and ecological safety.
Great progress came from Dr. Emma Carter’s team at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. The key part of their new idea is a bio-inspired nanomaterial (纳米材料) made from chitosan — a natural substance from crustacean (甲壳纲动物) shells. It copies the sticky threads mussels use to stick to rocks. “The strength of our material is its two-in-one function,” Dr. Carter explains. “It attaches to 92% of micro-plastics of different sizes and breaks down fully in 45 days in natural water, avoiding secondary pollution.”
Lab tests on 67 water samples from the Murray-Darling Basin’s freshwater to the Indian Ocean’s saltwater showed hopeful results. When the nanomaterial was added to polluted water, it quickly formed groups with micro-plastics, which sink naturally or are easily removed by low-energy filtration. Importantly, tests found no harm to water organisms like algae or young fish, fixing a major flaw of chemical treatments.
The technology also helps the sustainable economy. The chitosan used in the nanomaterial comes from seafood industry waste, turning trash into a valuable tool. Dr. Carter’s team is already testing the technology in wastewater plants of three Australian cities. Full-scale use is planned within two years. “We don’t just want to develop a technical fix,” Dr. Carter says. “We want to show how nature can guide the design of sustainable technology.”
Critics point out that real-world conditions may affect the material’s performance. Also, increasing production to meet global demand needs steady supplies of chitosan. However, the Global Environmental Technology Assessment Institute calls the innovation a real “game changer.” It estimates the technology could cut micro-plastic pollution in freshwater systems by 60% by 2030. As Dr. Carter stresses, solving global environmental problems needs both technological skill and ecological wisdom.
32. What makes the nanomaterial a “two-in-one” product according to Dr. Carter
A. Removing micro-plastics and causing no harm to water organisms.
B. Treating polluted water samples and aiding sustainable growth.
C. Adsorbing micro-plastics and degrading without secondary pollution.
D. Using a natural material and learning from how mussels stick to rocks.
33. What can we infer from the lab tests on the 67 water samples
A. The nanomaterial is more harmful to young fish than to algae in polluted water.
B. Low-energy filtration is the most effective way to remove micro-plastic clusters.
C. The nanomaterial works equally well in freshwater and saltwater environments.
D. Chemical treatments are still needed to complement the nanomaterial’s function.
34. What does Dr. Carter mean in Paragraph 4
A. The technology of the nanomaterial is far from perfect yet.
B. The team aims to set a model for nature-inspired sustainable technology.
C. The full-scale use of the technology will take longer than two years.
D. The nanomaterial’s application is limited to wastewater treatment plants.
35. Which word best describes Dr. Carter’s attitude towards solving global environmental problems
A. Pessimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Practical. D. Satisfied.
二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A new fashion movement is gaining momentum in China. Known as “Guochao”, or “National Tide”, it reflects young Chinese people’s growing interest in domestic brands that blend cultural heritage with modern aesthetic. ____36____. It represents a powerful combination of business, cultural identity, and national pride.
____37____ For a long time, “Made in China” was perceived as a label for cheap, mass-produced goods. Guochao seeks to revolutionize this impression in an innovative way. A pivotal moment came in 2018 when Li-Ning, a Chinese sportswear company, showcased its collection at New York Fashion Week. Its designs — featuring bold Chinese characters and historical themes — achieved instant success.
The appeal of Guochao lies in its ability to make Chinese culture feel fresh and relevant. ____38____ Young consumers wear these designs as a natural part of their daily lives and personal identity. With China’s growing economy, this generation is keen to express its distinctive tastes. At the same time, e-commerce giant Shein often weaves traditional cultural elements into its fast-fashion framework — not just surface-level patterns, but subtle references rooted in Chinese art. ____39____ Unlike generic “Oriental-style” designs that rely on stereotypes, these details carry the texture of specific cultural traditions. This helps introduce Chinese cultural elements to young shoppers across the globe in an accessible way, without reducing heritage to a mere aesthetic trend.
Ultimately, the rise of Guochao signifies a fundamental transition in China’s position within the global economy — from a manufacturing hub to a source of cultural innovation. As these brands expand their international presence, they are no longer just exporting products. ____40____
A. This is more than just a fashion trend.
B. This movement began around a decade ago.
C. However, this change did not happen overnight.
D. They are promoting a unique style and perspective.
E. Therefore, many foreign brands are learning from this model.
F. It is not about copying the past, but creatively reimagining it for today.
G. For instance, Shein’s clothing lines at times include designs like traditional ink-wash paintings.

I always pass by a small corner store run by an elderly man, Mr. Davis. He’s a quiet man, but he knows most of his customers by name and always greets them with a kind ____41____. One rainy afternoon, I ducked into the store to take shelter from the rain, only to see a little boy nervously clutching a candy bar.

As he slipped out, I caught sight of the unpaid candy in his hand — my heart ____43____ a beat, unsure what to do.
I stood frozen, ____44____ whether to tell Mr. Davis. ____45____, before I could speak up, the boy reappeared. He lingered at the door, summoned the courage to walk to the counter, and slowly ____46____ Mr. Davis the money for the candy, plus an extra dollar. “I’m sorry I took it without paying,” he mumbled, his eyes fixed on the floor, too ____47____ to meet anyone’s gaze.
Mr. Davis nodded gently, accepting the money. Then he did something that ____48____ me: he reached into a glass jar behind the counter, took out a lollipop, and held it out to the boy. “For your honesty,” he said warmly. “The candy bar was a mistake, but this is a gift.”
That small moment ____49____ with me long after. It wasn’t just a lesson in right and wrong, but about having the courage to _____50_____ one’s errors. He didn’t scold the boy; instead, he honored his conscience. His kindness left a far deeper _____51_____ than anger ever could.
It made me _____52_____ on how we judge mistakes. We often focus on avoiding failure, fearing the consequences. But maybe the real measure of _____53_____ is what we do after we fail.
That day in a humble corner store, a wise man taught a boy — and a watching teenager — that redemption (救赎) is always within _____54_____. It was a truth I’ve carried ever since: kindness, not criticism, is the strongest force to guide others. And sometimes, the sweetest rewards in life aren’t the things we buy, but the lessons we learn when we choose to do what’s _____55_____.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sixteen-year-old Mia lived in Oakwood, a small town where everyone knew each other. Her parents ran a local bakery that had been in the family for decades, but lately, business was declining. Supermarkets with cheaper bread and pastries drew most customers away, and Mia often saw her parents sighing over empty cash registers at night.
One Saturday morning, Mia was helping arrange bread on the shelf when an elderly man named Mr. Henderson entered. He was a regular, but his steps looked unsteady. “Just a loaf of your mother’s wheat bread, dear,” he said, his voice weak. Mia handed it to him, and when he fumbled with his wallet, she noticed his hands shaking. “Take it on the house, Mr. Henderson,” she said softly. The old man smiled gratefully, mentioning that many seniors in town struggled to afford fresh food since the community food bank closed last month.
Mia’s heart sank. That afternoon, she sat in the bakery’s backyard, thinking hard. The bakery was struggling, but the seniors’ problem weighed on her. She remembered her grandma used to say, “Small kindnesses tie a town together.” Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She rushed inside to tell her parents, but they looked hesitant — they could barely keep the bakery going, let alone take on more.
Undeterred, Mia decided to try anyway. She made a poster and hung it outside the bakery: “Free bread for seniors every Friday — donations welcome.” The next morning, she waited anxiously by the door. Just as she started to doubt herself, a car pulled up, and a woman she didn’t know rolled down the window...
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mia walked over to the car, wondering what the woman wanted.

【原文】Attention, all students. By now, all of you have heard about the event that happened at Coolidge Hall last weekend. On Saturday night at about 11:00, two freshmen reported that their TV, DVD player, and both of their computers were stolen from their dormitory room. Their Samsung TV and DVD player together are valued at $600, but their Apple computers are each valued at $1,000. So far, campus security and the local police have been unable to find the stolen items or the thieves. We need your help. If you were in the area of Coolidge Hall at the time of the robbery, and you think you saw something, please contact campus security at 658-2230. You can also stop by one of the three security offices on campus 24 hours a day. Please do not contact the local police department directly. They are very busy with other cases, and they have asked for all information about this case through campus security. Please keep an eye out for the items. Whoever took them probably wants to sell them before taking anything else. If you are offered some “used” electronics that match the description of the stolen goods, please call us right away. In the meantime, we are adding extra security staff around the dormitories, but please be especially careful with your valuable items.

A fearless Chinese teenager, Li Yike, has amazed the world with her solo overseas journey, proving that young people can chase their dreams with courage and careful planning. Last November, the 18-year-old embarked on a life-changing trip, spending 35 days traveling across seven countries — including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, and Egypt — on an incredibly tight budget of just 11,500 yuan (US$1,600). Her journey wasn’t just about visiting new places; it was a bold step to break free from routine and see the world through her own eyes.
To stick strictly to her budget, Li made practical choices: she took overland trains and budget flights whenever possible, stayed in affordable youth hostels that offered a chance to meet other travelers, and even camped in airport lounges on a few nights when late arrivals left her with no better options. She also prioritized safety: cutting her hair short and wearing unisex clothing to avoid drawing unwanted attention, especially in areas where she was unfamiliar with local customs. Li, who had taken a gap year after graduating from an international secondary school, said she’d long dreamed of experiencing the world “she had only read about in books and seen in documentaries” instead of staying in her comfortable but limited daily life.
After returning home, Li shared her vivid travel stories and stunning photos online, hoping to inspire her peers to pursue their own dreams bravely. However, her positivity was soon met with negativity — she faced cyberbullying and malicious rumors, including false claims that her trip was funded by her family’s wealth or even questionable sources. Undeterred by the unfair criticism, Li posted a detailed breakdown of her expenses online, clearly showing how she saved on transportation and accommodation, and she kept sharing her adventures without letting the negativity stop her.
Her resilience quickly struck a chord with many people. Thousands of young netizens flooded her page with praise for her independence and courage, with one popular comment reading: “She’s living the courage we all wish for.” Reflecting on her journey, Li said firmly, “Age shouldn’t limit our curiosity. The world is there to be explored, as long as you’re well prepared. Don’t let fear hold you back from what you want to do.”
24. Which method did Li Yike use to ensure her safety during the journey
A. Changing her appearance.
B. Learning basic self-defense skills.
C. Avoiding local strangers.
D. Carrying emergency alert devices.
25. What likely motivated Li Yike to travel alone
A. To experience the world firsthand.
B. To become an influencer through challenges.
C. To escape academic pressure during her gap year.
D. To prove traveling alone is safe.
26. How did Li Yike respond to negative comments and rumors online
A. She felt discouraged and paused her posts.
B. She deleted all posts to avoid controversy.
C. She apologized and explained her family background.
D. She used facts to defend herself and continued sharing.
27. What touched young netizens most about Li’s journey
A. Her ability to visit seven countries in just over a month.
B. Her skills in handling all travel arrangements alone.
C. Her talent for photography and vivid storytelling.
D. Her courage to pursue her aspirations independently.
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. D 27. D

The most popular tourism sites in Europe are expected to attract a record number of tourists this summer season. With travelers avoiding traditional hotspots like the US and Middle Eastern states, European cities and islands are struggling with increasing pressure from over-tourism. Though Europe has been called the world’s museum, these huge crowds have also made it ground zero for concerns about over-tourism.
In Spain, anti-tourism activists, academics, and the government argue that over-tourism is driving up housing costs in city centers and popular areas due to short-term rentals (出租). Others complain that the character of city neighborhoods is changing as local shops are replaced by souvenir stores, international chains, and trendy restaurants. Angelos Varvarousis, a Barcelona and Athens-based urban planner, warned that local community events, traditional festivals, or cultural gatherings that are important for the local residents’ sense of identity and community may be disrupted or overshadowed by the focus on tourism.
Governments are attempting to better manage tourist numbers by promoting alternative destinations. In London and Paris, authorities have limited rental apartments to 90 days annually to prevent them from becoming full-time hotels. Barcelona has stopped issuing short term rental licenses, so they will no longer be available after 2028. While promoting quieter destinations attracts some visitors, the overall rise in tourism means that these tourists are simply replaced by new ones in the same hotspots, with no significant drop in numbers. Laws regulating rental nights are hard to police. Barcelona’s ban has not eased its housing crisis either, and it will be difficult to assess whether the policy has been effective until it comes into full effect in 2028.
While local measures are being introduced to address over-tourism a broader, more global perspective is needed to ensure the sustainable future of tourism, Gloria Guevara Manzo, President & CEO of the World Tourism and Travel Council, stresses that tourism should not only focus on growth but also on its impact on local cultures and communities. “The element of responsibility needs to be brought into this through cooperation with all relevant parties with an interest in ensuring a sustainable future,” she said.
28. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Completely destroyed. B. Partly downplayed.
C. Well protected. D. Widely spread.
29. Which word can we use to describe governments’ efforts on over-tourism
A. Well-received. B. Ineffective. C. Productive. D. Fruitful.
30. According to Gloria, what is needed for sustainable tourism
A. Focusing on tourist groups and cultures as well.
B. Ignoring the impact of tourism on local cultures.
C. Working with related parties to take responsibility.
D. Promoting quiet destinations to attract some visitors.
31. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage
A. Europe’s Tourism: From World’s Museum to Over-tourism Crisis
B. Government Action: Targeting Tourism’s Negative Side Effects
C. Tourism Trend: Ongoing Rise in Europe’s Popular Destinations
D. Europe’s Tourism Future: Toward a Global Path for Sustainability
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. A
D
The alarming accumulation of micro-plastics in global water systems has long been an environmental crisis. These tiny particles even get into the most faraway water-based ecosystems and enter the human food chain. Traditional removal methods, which depend on filtration or chemical breakdown, have been found either not effective for micro-plastics smaller than 5 micrometers or harmful to life in the water. This difficulty has pushed scientists around the world to look for new solutions that balance effectiveness and ecological safety.
Great progress came from Dr. Emma Carter’s team at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. The key part of their new idea is a bio-inspired nanomaterial (纳米材料) made from chitosan — a natural substance from crustacean (甲壳纲动物) shells. It copies the sticky threads mussels use to stick to rocks. “The strength of our material is its two-in-one function,” Dr. Carter explains. “It attaches to 92% of micro-plastics of different sizes and breaks down fully in 45 days in natural water, avoiding secondary pollution.”
Lab tests on 67 water samples from the Murray-Darling Basin’s freshwater to the Indian Ocean’s saltwater showed hopeful results. When the nanomaterial was added to polluted water, it quickly formed groups with micro-plastics, which sink naturally or are easily removed by low-energy filtration. Importantly, tests found no harm to water organisms like algae or young fish, fixing a major flaw of chemical treatments.
The technology also helps the sustainable economy. The chitosan used in the nanomaterial comes from seafood industry waste, turning trash into a valuable tool. Dr. Carter’s team is already testing the technology in wastewater plants of three Australian cities. Full-scale use is planned within two years. “We don’t just want to develop a technical fix,” Dr. Carter says. “We want to show how nature can guide the design of sustainable technology.”
Critics point out that real-world conditions may affect the material’s performance. Also, increasing production to meet global demand needs steady supplies of chitosan. However, the Global Environmental Technology Assessment Institute calls the innovation a real “game changer.” It estimates the technology could cut micro-plastic pollution in freshwater systems by 60% by 2030. As Dr. Carter stresses, solving global environmental problems needs both technological skill and ecological wisdom.
32. What makes the nanomaterial a “two-in-one” product according to Dr. Carter
A. Removing micro-plastics and causing no harm to water organisms.
B. Treating polluted water samples and aiding sustainable growth.
C. Adsorbing micro-plastics and degrading without secondary pollution.
D. Using a natural material and learning from how mussels stick to rocks.
33. What can we infer from the lab tests on the 67 water samples
A. The nanomaterial is more harmful to young fish than to algae in polluted water.
B. Low-energy filtration is the most effective way to remove micro-plastic clusters.
C. The nanomaterial works equally well in freshwater and saltwater environments.
D. Chemical treatments are still needed to complement the nanomaterial’s function.
34. What does Dr. Carter mean in Paragraph 4
A. The technology of the nanomaterial is far from perfect yet.
B. The team aims to set a model for nature-inspired sustainable technology.
C. The full-scale use of the technology will take longer than two years.
D. The nanomaterial’s application is limited to wastewater treatment plants.
35. Which word best describes Dr. Carter’s attitude towards solving global environmental problems
A. Pessimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Practical. D. Satisfied.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. C

A new fashion movement is gaining momentum in China. Known as “Guochao”, or “National Tide”, it reflects young Chinese people’s growing interest in domestic brands that blend cultural heritage with modern aesthetic. ____36____. It represents a powerful combination of business, cultural identity, and national pride.
____37____ For a long time, “Made in China” was perceived as a label for cheap, mass-produced goods. Guochao seeks to revolutionize this impression in an innovative way. A pivotal moment came in 2018 when Li-Ning, a Chinese sportswear company, showcased its collection at New York Fashion Week. Its designs — featuring bold Chinese characters and historical themes — achieved instant success.
The appeal of Guochao lies in its ability to make Chinese culture feel fresh and relevant. ____38____ Young consumers wear these designs as a natural part of their daily lives and personal identity. With China’s growing economy, this generation is keen to express its distinctive tastes. At the same time, e-commerce giant Shein often weaves traditional cultural elements into its fast-fashion framework — not just surface-level patterns, but subtle references rooted in Chinese art. ____39____ Unlike generic “Oriental-style” designs that rely on stereotypes, these details carry the texture of specific cultural traditions. This helps introduce Chinese cultural elements to young shoppers across the globe in an accessible way, without reducing heritage to a mere aesthetic trend.
Ultimately, the rise of Guochao signifies a fundamental transition in China’s position within the global economy — from a manufacturing hub to a source of cultural innovation. As these brands expand their international presence, they are no longer just exporting products. ____40____
A. This is more than just a fashion trend.
B. This movement began around a decade ago.
C. However, this change did not happen overnight.
D. They are promoting a unique style and perspective.
E. Therefore, many foreign brands are learning from this model.
F. It is not about copying the past, but creatively reimagining it for today.
G. For instance, Shein’s clothing lines at times include designs like traditional ink-wash paintings.

Mr. Davis nodded gently, accepting the money. Then he did something that ____48____ me: he reached into a glass jar behind the counter, took out a lollipop, and held it out to the boy. “For your honesty,” he said warmly. “The candy bar was a mistake, but this is a gift.”
That small moment ____49____ with me long after. It wasn’t just a lesson in right and wrong, but about having the courage to _____50_____ one’s errors. He didn’t scold the boy; instead, he honored his conscience. His kindness left a far deeper _____51_____ than anger ever could.
It made me _____52_____ on how we judge mistakes. We often focus on avoiding failure, fearing the consequences. But maybe the real measure of _____53_____ is what we do after we fail.
That day in a humble corner store, a wise man taught a boy — and a watching teenager — that redemption (救赎) is always within _____54_____. It was a truth I’ve carried ever since: kindness, not criticism, is the strongest force to guide others. And sometimes, the sweetest rewards in life aren’t the things we buy, but the lessons we learn when we choose to do what’s _____55_____.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sixteen-year-old Mia lived in Oakwood, a small town where everyone knew each other. Her parents ran a local bakery that had been in the family for decades, but lately, business was declining. Supermarkets with cheaper bread and pastries drew most customers away, and Mia often saw her parents sighing over empty cash registers at night.
One Saturday morning, Mia was helping arrange bread on the shelf when an elderly man named Mr. Henderson entered. He was a regular, but his steps looked unsteady. “Just a loaf of your mother’s wheat bread, dear,” he said, his voice weak. Mia handed it to him, and when he fumbled with his wallet, she noticed his hands shaking. “Take it on the house, Mr. Henderson,” she said softly. The old man smiled gratefully, mentioning that many seniors in town struggled to afford fresh food since the community food bank closed last month.
Mia’s heart sank. That afternoon, she sat in the bakery’s backyard, thinking hard. The bakery was struggling, but the seniors’ problem weighed on her. She remembered her grandma used to say, “Small kindnesses tie a town together.” Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She rushed inside to tell her parents, but they looked hesitant — they could barely keep the bakery going, let alone take on more.
Undeterred, Mia decided to try anyway. She made a poster and hung it outside the bakery: “Free bread for seniors every Friday — donations welcome.” The next morning, she waited anxiously by the door. Just as she started to doubt herself, a car pulled up, and a woman she didn’t know rolled down the window...

【答案】
Mia walked over to the car, wondering what the woman wanted. “Hi, I’m Clara from the town’s community center,” the woman said, handing her a box of flour. “I heard about your plan — many locals want to help. This is from Mrs. Green’s grocery store, and Mr. Torres will bring butter later.” Mia’s eyes lit up. Soon, more people came with donations: eggs, sugar, and even cash. Seniors started visiting on Fridays, chatting while picking up bread, filling the bakery with laughter. Her parents, touched by the support, joined in, baking extra pastries for the seniors.
Weeks later, the bakery and the town seemed to have changed. The bakery was always busy — locals came not just for bread, but to support the initiative. A new community food bank opened, funded by donations from the bakery’s visitors. Mia often saw seniors helping out at the bakery, packing bread or greeting customers. Oakwood felt warmer than ever; people smiled and helped each other more. Mia’s parents no longer sighed at empty registers, and she realized: when a community stands together, no problem is too big. She turned a small kindness into something that has tied the whole town.
