For twenty years, the Internet has been my second home while communicating science. Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue. But I often find myself quite lonely. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do.
We didn’t cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved
So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned to generate it, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people, and to our credit we aren’t always bad at addressing this. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.
I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species.
24. How did the author feel seeing the picture online
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
25. What is implied by mentioning Ben Franklin and Mark Twain
A. The warning of the warming Earth. B. The progress in social development.
C. The praise for human modesty. D. The demand for greener energy.
26. Why does the author feel hopeful about humans
A. We will make more policies. B. We have discovered more fossil fuels.
C. We highly value the role of the earth. D. We can restore damage to the environment.
27. What does the underlined word “story” refer to in the last paragraph
A. The cycle of causing and tackling problems. B. The ability to create a bright future.
C. The evil nature of human beings. D. The positive attitude to life.
C
It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others.
During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!
“Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes.
28. What does the study mainly focus on
A. Why children change their dreams over time.
B. Whether childhood goals relate to future success.
C. How childhood education determines future career
D.What impact early experiences have on characters.
29. Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up
A. Connecting with others. B. Achieving academic success.
C. Hunting for a high-salary job. D. Improving personal social status.
30. What message does the author convey in paragraph 3
A. Future careers is determined by Childhood achievements.
B. Childhood ambition is potentially connected with success.
C. Setting small goals is more beneficial than dreaming big.
D. Adjusting goals can create new opportunities for success.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To summarize learning strategies. B. To offer suggestions for future studies.
C. To stress the significance of the study. D. To point out the limitations of the study.
D
The potato: Mash it, bake it, fry it… No matter how you deal with it, the potato is the very example of all that is ordinary. And yet it has long harbored a mystery. Scientists find that certain genes suggested that potatoes were more closely related to tomatoes, while other genes gave the impression that potatoes and Etuberosum (茄科植物) had the closer relationship. Which one was it
A new study in Cell offers the answer. Researchers led by botanist Sandy Knapp discovered that the potato genes originated in the Americas where an ancient hybridizing event between the ancestors of tomatoes and Etuberosum occurred around 9 million years ago. This is when the Andes Mountains were forming. This rare hybridization created a new plant with a unique ability that neither of its parent plants has: forming underground tubers (the part we eat) . “They’re a way for a plant to store starch (淀粉) ,” Knapp says, “and, in a way, survive seasons which are not good for growing.”
Understanding the potato’s origins, specifically the key genes inherited (遗传) from each parent group that control tuber formation, opens new possibilities. “We can use the tomato or Etuberosum to perhaps do some genetic engineering to improve the potato,” Knapp says. One such improvement would enable farmers to grow potatoes resistant to pests, a changing climate, and other environmental challenges. Simply put, “The tomato can be the future of the potato,” says Zhiyang Zhang, a plant genetics Ph. D. student and a lead researcher on the study.
The origin of potatoes offers much food for thought. You had two things and something completely different emerged. Through hybridization, you can generate many new combinations in a short time. And you can generate more species to adapt to changeable environments. “Hybridization is a real force in evolution that allows for the release of variation,” Knapp explains. “Of course, not all hybridizing events have produced results as wildly successful as the potato. But we’re quite lucky in this case that this one worked.”
32. What remained uncertain about potatoes at first
A. Their genetic origin. B. Their plain look.
C. Their various relatives. D. Their serving methods.
33. What can underground tubers function as
A. The plant holder. B. A new parent plant.
C. A nutrition provider. D. The season indicator.
34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Potatoes would be in greater need. B. The farming approach goes greener.
C The genetic engineering is improving. D. Potatoes would become more adaptable.
35. What does Knapp think of hybridization
A. Its success relies on luck. B. Its operation is easy to learn.
C It helps create diverse species. D. It is worth applying worldwide.
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。
Homework has long been tied to school. ___36___ But with the way of learning shifted, it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time
The idea of homework goes back a long way. Historians trace it to ancient Rome. Pliny the Younger, a teacher around AD 61—113, encouraged students to practice speaking at home. Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. ___37___ In the U. S. , it grew common in the early. 20th century. In 1957, American schools piled on homework to raise academic demands. By the1980s, it was seen as key to academic success.
___38___ For high schoolers, homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap.
Then everything changed. As educators recognized the limitations of passive, one-size-fits-all tasks in encouraging genuine understanding and student engagement, traditional worksheets and reading logs gave way to project-based assignments or online lessons, clouding the line between homework and classwork. However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. ___39___
So, what now Keep, change, or get rid of it ___40___ It all comes down to how it’s used. When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place. In a world where information is instant, the purpose of homework needs a fresh look.
A. The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad.
B. It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution.
C. Furthermore, access to reliable internet became a critical factor.
D. The concept, however, faded significantly during the Middle Ages.
E. The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky.
F. Without engagement, feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness.
G. Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework.

The day dawned with excitement and curiosity. The weather was ideal: a clear sky, a mild wind dancing through the trees, rustling (沙沙声) them ___41___. My father, an experienced fisherman, patiently guided me through fishing ___42___ — casting the line, feeling for a ___43___, and reeling (绕线) in the catch. His calm manner was comforting, yet ___44___ stayed, rooted in the uncertainty of what lay ahead.
I felt a burst of delight as my line first hit the water, sending tiny circles spreading across the surface, but that excitement soon gave way to restlessness. Minutes ___45___ like hours as I sat, staring at the still water, waiting for any ___46___ of life. My father sensed my growing frustration and shared his wisdom.
His words ___47___ home. I started to value the peace around me: birds singing sweetly in the distance, water gently washing against the shore, and fish ___48___ occasionally to catch the light. Just as hope was fading, my line gave a sudden ___49___. My heart ____50____ as I fought to reel it in. The fish ____51____ strongly, trying to escape with surprising quickness, but with my father's encouraging words and steady hands, I finally pulled it ashore. Holding the smallmouth fish was pure ____52____ . It was a ____53____ catch, yet a great achievement to me. Its shiny scales (鳞片) caught the sunlight, its eyes seeming to ____54____ my excitement.
Releasing it back into the lake, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and ____55____ for the creature that had given me such a meaningful experience.

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。
In the baking heat, I watched the elderly woman struggle with a walker, loaded with bags of groceries. I was driving north, and she was walking south. I’d seen her before, each time feeling guilty I didn’t offer her a lift. Today, the guilt won. I turned back, pulled over, and offered her a ride.
The woman looked weary, sweat pouring down her face. I placed her walker and bags into my trunk, helped her inside, and drove off. “Bless you, child,” she murmured. She directed me to go farther south.
Passing under a bridge, she asked me to pull over. She rolled down her window and called out to several homeless people, “Come by later! Spaghetti night!” She waved and smiled, her smile erasing ten years off her face. We continued south, chatting easily. Her name was Ida. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store and often missed the last bus because of working overtime.
Suddenly, I realised we were on the “wrong side of town”. It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets finally to an old apartment building. Several young men had gathered around the entrance, looking threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me. My discomfort grew, but Ida seemed fine. She directed a couple of the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle sounded behind me. It was that hoodie guy! He didn’t overtake; he just kept pace, waving for me to stop. No way was I going to stop for a stranger on a deserted street. In a panic, I reached down for my purse to get my cell phone to call 911. I felt an empty seat. My purse wasn’t there! “She stole my purse!” I may have used stronger language. So much for acts of kindness, I thought.

第二部分 阅读理解
【A篇答案】21-23 BDD
【B篇答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自身在网络传播科学的经历,通过一张“哭泣的地球”图片引发了对气候变化的原因的思考,驳斥了“人类愚蠢或邪恶”的观点,指出人类在解决问题方面有着强大的能力,并希望儿子认识到人类是问题解决者,而非邪恶物种。
【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. (最近,我看到一张图片:地球在哭泣,周围是倒下的树木,上面写着:“没有哪个有智慧的物种会毁掉自己的家园。”这张图片让我深感不安。)”可知,作者看到网上的图片后感到不安,“disturbed”与原文“troubled”意思相符。故选A项。
【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the U. S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under l percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved (在1895年的美国,四分之一的人在五岁前死亡。如今,这一比例已降至1%以下,我们将继续努力,直到降至零。想象一下,本·富兰克林或马克·吐温会就这种程度的进步写些什么文章。如果他们看到我们所取得的成就,他们怎么会不感动得热泪盈眶呢?)”可知,作者提到本·富兰克林和马克·吐温是为了说明人类在社会发展方面取得的巨大进步。故选B项。
【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible. (不久前,伦敦才净化了被烟雾熏黑的空气。当雨水变得酸性时,世界就会改变其政策。当危害在本地发生时,我们往往能很好地进行清理。这就是我感到希望的地方:我们已经做到过这一点,而且我们知道这是可能的。)”可知,作者感到有希望的原因是人类已有修复环境破坏的先例,即“我们能修复对环境的破坏”。故选D项。
【27题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species. (我希望他认为人类是问题解决者,无论我们采取什么策略来解决全球变暖问题,都会产生更多新的问题。对于智慧物种来说,这是一个相当正常的story)”可知,作者认为人类是问题解决者,在解决问题的过程中会不断产生新问题,然后又去解决新问题,这是一个不断循环的过程,所以“story”指的是“引发问题并解决问题的循环”。故选A项。
【C篇答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一项研究发现,儿童设定的关于未来地位和教育的大目标往往会为他们成年后的成功奠定基础。
【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age. (现在,一项新的研究发现,设定关于未来地位和教育的大目标的孩子,随着年龄的增长,往往会为自己的成功奠定基础。)”以及第二段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace.

【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others.

【30题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be.(总来说,孩子们专注于教育和未来地位的目标是成年后收入的最一致预测因素。简单地说,当一个孩子梦想在学校表现出色或在成年后取得巨大成功时,这些目标准确地描绘了这些孩子将会多么成功。)”可知,作者在第三段传达的信息是,童年的雄心与成功潜在地相关。故选B项。
【31题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes. (我们的工作证明了孩子的生活目标、教育成就和未来职业结果之间的强烈联系。这些信息对家长和教育者来说是有价值的,他们可以用它来鼓励孩子设定雄心勃勃的目标。此外,它有助于制定支持个人实现目标和发挥全部潜力的策略。)”可知,最后一段的目的是强调这项研究的重要性,故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了土豆的起源之谜,以及通过研究其基因如何帮助改进土豆的种植和适应性。
【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists find that certain genes suggested that potatoes were more closely related to tomatoes, while other genes gave the impression that potatoes and Etuberosum (茄科植物) had the closer relationship. Which one was it (科学家发现,某些基因表明土豆与番茄的关系更为密切,而其他基因则让人觉得土豆与茄科植物的关系更为密切。到底是哪一个呢?)”可知,最初土豆的基因来源是不确定的。故选A项。
【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“This rare hybridization created a new plant with a unique ability that neither of its parent plants has: forming underground tubers (the part we eat) . “They’re a way for a plant to store starch (淀粉) ,” Knapp says, “and, in a way, survive seasons which are not good for growing.” (这种罕见的杂交培育出了一种新植物,它具有其亲本植物都不具备的独特能力:形成地下块茎(即我们食用的部分)。“块茎是植物储存淀粉的一种方式,”Knapp说,“而且,在某种程度上,能帮助植物度过不利于生长的季节。”)”可知,地下块茎可以作为营养提供者,储存淀粉以供植物在不利季节生存。故选C项。
【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“One such improvement would enable farmers to grow potatoes resistant to pests, a changing climate, and other environmental challenges. (其中一项改进能让农民种植出抗虫害、耐气候变化,并能应对其他环境挑战的土豆)”可推知,土豆将变得更具适应性。故选D项。
【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through hybridization, you can generate many new combinations in a short time. And you can generate more species to adapt to changeable environments. “Hybridization is a real force in evolution that allows for the release of variation,” Knapp explains. (通过杂交,你可以在短时间内产生许多新的组合。而且你能培育出更多物种来适应多变的环境。“杂交是进化中一种真正的力量,它能释放变异,”Knapp解释道。)”可知,Knapp认为杂交有助于创造多样化的物种。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了家庭作业的历史、现状及其对学生影响的变化,并提出了关于家庭作业未来走向的思考。
【36题详解】根据上文“Homework has long been tied to school. (家庭作业长期以来都与学校密切相关。)”和下文“But with the way of learning shifted, it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time (但随着学习方式的转变,我们有理由问:家庭作业还有意义吗?还是说它只是不同时代的遗留物?)”可知,上文说家庭作业与学校紧密相关,下文提出随着学习方式的转变,家庭作业是否仍然重要的问题,G选项“Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework. (问问学生学校是什么样的,你会听到关于考试、老师和家庭作业的谈论)”承接上文,说明家庭作业是学校生活的一部分,同时引出下文关于家庭作业是否仍然重要的讨论。故选G项。
【37题详解】根据上文“Historians trace it to ancient Rome. (历史学家将其追溯到古罗马。)”和“Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. (几个世纪以来,家庭作业的发展十分缓慢。)”以及下文“In the U. S. , it grew common in the early 20th century. (在美国,它在20世纪初变得普遍。)”可知,上文说家庭作业的概念可追溯至古罗马,并在几个世纪中逐渐发展,下文说家庭作业在某一时期变得普遍,B选项“It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution. (在工业革命期间,它扮演了更正式的角色)”承上启下,补充了“古罗马之后、美国20世纪之前” 的关键发展节点,符合“centuries”所体现的时间线递进关系,使作业的发展历程更连贯。故选B项。
【38题详解】根据下文“For high schoolers, homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap. (对于高中生来说,家庭作业与学业成绩有关。但年幼的孩子似乎从传统的家庭作业中获益甚少。此外,在家里有责任感和得到支持的学生最有可能完成作业并从中受益。对于可能无法上网的低收入家庭的学生来说,家庭作业实际上会扩大成绩差距。)”可知,下文围绕“家庭作业对学生的帮助程度因群体而异”展开,E选项“The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky. (家庭作业是否真的对学生有帮助,这个问题很难说。)”引出下文,说明家庭作业对学生是否有帮助是一个复杂的问题,概括了下文的核心议题,起到总领全段的作用。故选E项。
【39题详解】根据上文“However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. (然而,仅仅布置任务是不够的)”可知,上文说仅仅布置家庭作业是不够的,F选项“Without engagement, feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness. (没有参与、反馈和支持,家庭作业就失去了效果)”承接上文,进一步说明家庭作业需要学生的参与、老师的反馈和家长的支持才能有效。故选F项。
【40题详解】根据上文“So, what now Keep, change, or get rid of it (那么,现在该怎么办?保留、改变还是取消它?)”和下文“It all comes down to how it’s used. When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place.(这完全取决于如何使用它。当它只是为了让孩子们忙碌时,它并没有多大作用。但是,当它经过深思熟虑、清晰明了,并且真正符合学生的需求时,它就有其存在的价值。)”可知,上文提出关于家庭作业未来走向的问题,下文则说明了家庭作业的价值取决于如何使用它,A选项“The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad. (问题是,家庭作业本身并没有好坏之分)”,承接上文的疑问,并引出下文,说明家庭作业的价值不是固定的,而是取决于如何使用,逻辑连贯。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在瑞典北部萨勒克国家公园的经历,描述了公园的自然景观、历史背景,以及自己在当地借鉴萨米人生活习惯的日常,表达了对这片荒野之地的喜爱与对生命的感恩。
【56题详解】考查连词。句意:尽管阳光灿烂地照耀着,但根本无法分辨是早上还是晚上。whether...or...为固定搭配,意为“是……还是……”,所以此处应用连词or。故填or。
【57题详解】考查名词复数。句意:早上7点30分,我离开帐篷,走到山边,在那里,拉帕河的支流在我面前铺开,流经下面的山谷。branch为可数名词,结合空后的谓语动词 flow为原形可知,主语应为复数形式。故填branches。
【58题详解】考查介词。句意:这是瑞典北部萨勒克国家公园一个偏远的地方,没有道路,也没有城镇。根据no roads or towns和语意可知,此处表示“带有;具有”,应用介词with,a place with no roads or towns意为“一个没有道路和城镇的地方”。故填with。
【59题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:1909年,萨勒克被列为国家公园,以保持这片土地的自然状态。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词was made,所以此处keep应用非谓语动词形式,根据语意可知,“被列为国家公园”的目的是“保持土地自然状态”,所以应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to keep。
【60题详解】考查形容词。句意:几百年来,饲养驯鹿一直是萨米人的主要生活方式。修饰名词way应用centre的形容词形式central作定语,意为“主要的,核心的”。故填central。
【61题详解】考查冠词。句意:我不是萨米人,但在萨勒克,我养成了他们的一些习惯。Sami此处指“萨米人”,为可数名词单数,且发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰,表示泛指“一个萨米人”。故填a。
【62题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,今天早上我的早餐是在火上加热过的面饼,还有一些我在帐篷附近发现的正在生长的甜浆果。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词is,所以此处应用warm的非谓语动词形式,因其与被修饰的名词flat bread之间为被动关系,所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填warmed。
【63题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词is,that I found为定语从句,所以此处应用grow的非谓语动词形式作后置定语来修饰前面的some sweet berries,因berries与grow之间为主动关系,且表示“正在生长”的状态,所以应用现在分词形式。故填growing。
【64题详解】考查名词。句意:我不能抱怨今天和昨天一样,在这片充满挑战的土地上到处都是艰难。根据空格前的不定冠词a可知,此处应用complain的名词单数形式complaint。故填complaint。
【65题详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:身处这样一个美丽而荒凉的地方,让我觉得活着是一种幸运。句子描述的是作者当下的感受,应用一般现在时;主语“Being in such a beautiful and wild place”为动名词短语,视为单数,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填makes。

A Constructive Speech
Last weekend, our school invited an expert to deliver a lecture on how to resolve interpersonal conflicts and promote harmony among students.
The expert started the lecture by discussing the common sources of conflicts among students. He then offered various strategies to handle conflicts, including effective communication, active listening, and mutual respect, while emphasizing the importance of understanding different views and finding common ground.
The lecture received enthusiastic feedback from students. Many appreciated the practical advice and said they felt more confident about managing their relationships. The event paved the way for a more harmonious school environment.
【读后续写答案】
Meanwhile, the guy stayed close to me, continually signaling for me to stop. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a purse on the floor of my car. Yes, there was a purse, but it wasn’t mine. Then I saw the guy right outside my window, waving my purse! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I pulled over to the roadside, and the young man stopped his motorcycle by the passenger side. Through the window I had opened, he handed me my purse. “Grandma sent me to give you this. She picked it up by mistake. She is so sorry.” He was still smiling. This time, his smile didn’t appear threatening, simply gentle.
Speechless, I handed him his grandma’s purse, and then he took off. Afterdrawing out a few dollars, I waved for the young man to stop, hoping to reward him, but he had disappeared into the night. I did manage to yell, “Thank you!” I had assumed he was a criminal because he looked “wild” but he was really an angel who went out of his way to help a stranger. Sometimes, we misjudge a person’s character because they don’t meet the standards we consider appropriate. They may not drive a modern car, live on the “right” side of town, or dress in what we consider to be fashionable, but who’s to say they are not equal to or better than we are
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个炎热的夏日,作者主动搭载背着杂物的老妇人回家。在到达“城市另一端”老妇人的家时,作者注意到了几个看起来不友善的年轻人,她感到不舒服。后来一个人骑着摩托车跟着作者,天色变暗,作者感到害怕,想拨打求助电话,此时发现自己的钱包不见了。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据第一段首句“与此同时,那个人一直靠近我,不停地示意我停下来。”并结合第二段首句“当我把他奶奶的钱包递给他时,我无言以对。”可知,本段可描写骑摩托车的男子拿来了作者的钱包,误会被解开——拿错了钱包。
②根据第二段首句“当我把他奶奶的钱包递给他时,我无言以对。”可知,下文可描写作者还没来得及感谢骑摩托车的男子,他已经消失了,作者也明白了不能以地域判断一个人的好坏。
2.续写线索:男子示意作者停车——送来作者的钱包——误会解开——作者把奶奶的钱包递给男子——还未感谢,人已消失——感悟
