Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!
That may well be Angela Peters’ motto. In July 2019, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of decorating her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon, which is not owned by Walmart, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier, Ebony Harris, watched the interaction from a few feet away. Recognizing Peters as a Walmart regular, Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails ” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah!” They then made their way into a neighboring Subway and found a table for two. Harris gently took Peters’ hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. Peters moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry. Harris told her, “Don’t say that. You’re fine.”
Watching it all with awe and admiration was a Subway employee, Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the sympathy and gentleness showed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “Harris was so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thank you for making this beautiful girl’s day!” “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody. She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she ” Harris said.
24. Why was Angela Peters turned away by the nail salon
A. The salon was closed. B. Her hands couldn’t remain still.
C. She didn’t have enough money. D. She was not a Walmart regular.
25. Where did Ebony Harris paint Angela Peters’ nails
A. In Walmart. B. At Harris’ home.
C. In the nail salon. D. In a nearby Subway.
26. What is the best word to describe Ebony Harris’ attitude towards Angela Peters
A. Pitying B. Impatient C. Respectful D. Doubtful
27. Why did Tasia Smith write about the scene on Facebook
A. To ask for more help for Angela Peters. B. To praise Ebony Harris for her kindness.
C. To criticize the nail salon for its rudeness. D. To show how to paint nails for disabled people.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown competence across various fields, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is changing greatly how scripts are developed, and stories are told.
Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years.
Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s marketability (市场潜力), assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element connects with audiences. The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character qualities to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances.
Beyond marketability, StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established qualities or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw inspiration from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.”
Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry shows artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and emotional cinematic experiences.
28. What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films
A. The financial difficulties of publishing.
B. The limited future of publishing.
C. The decreasing customer base of publishing.
D. The lack of AI competence in publishing.
29. According to Landers, what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis
A. A data-driven advisor. B. A decision-maker.
C. A marketing specialist. D. A content developer.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry
A. Unclear. B. Supportive.
C. Objective. D. Negative.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. AI’s Failure to Match Human Creativity
B. StoryFit: A Great Company Leading the Film Industry
C. AI Transforms Script Development in Film
D. The Challenges of AI in High-Risk Industries
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just from science fiction or unusual experiments. Cars run on hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already available, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is developing fast with the support of billions of dollars in federal research. So why are hydrogen cars almost never seen on U.S. roads today
“The answer is simple: cost issues,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and car makers once supported the fuel cell—which turns hydrogen’s chemical energy into electricity to power an electric motor—as the future of passenger cars. But cheaper batteries and a lot of electric vehicle charging infrastructure (基础设施) have pushed battery-electric cars far ahead.
To switch widely to hydrogen cars, we need to cut costs and build a large amount of infrastructure. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while there are more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing will change next year, or probably even in the next five years, but hydrogen vehicles have better uses ahead,” said Paltsev. In fact, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles work better for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Also, battery-electric vehicles have problems when it comes to driving range, charging time or carrying heavy loads.
The fact that hydrogen passenger cars aren’t practical in places like the U.S. now doesn’t mean we should just give up on hydrogen fuel-cell technology. “We might need it for many other reasons in the future,” Paltsev warned. He pointed out that international political issues could impede the supply of raw materials for batteries, making hydrogen cars suddenly more affordable.
32. What do we learn about the development of hydrogen fueling stations in the U.S.
A. They are evenly distributed across all states in the United States.
B. Their number is far less than that of electric vehicle charging stations.
C. They will reach 68,000 in the next five years according to current trends.
D. They are mainly built to serve passenger cars as their primary target users.
33. We can infer from the passage that battery-electric vehicles ________.
A. are not suitable for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks
B. have solved the problems of driving range and charging time
C. will be replaced by hydrogen vehicles in five years
D. require fewer raw materials than hydrogen vehicles
34. The underlined word "impede" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. hide B. delay C. encourage D. block
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Hydrogen vehicles have completely lost the competition with battery-electric cars.
B. Hydrogen fuel-cell technology is useless due to high costs and poor infrastructure.
C. Hydrogen vehicles face current challenges but have promising applications in the future.
D. The U.S. government should stop investing in hydrogen fuel-cell research.

It has helped me cope with the lows of my depression.

A. It has helped me deal with difficult emotions.

D. Some people get that me-time with a hot bath or a great book.
E. I’m happy, though, to just run by myself in my neighbourhood.

72. 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。
Love walks with us through every scary moment and gives us strength to face whatever frightens us. That’s exactly what happened to a child and his 78-year-old great-grandmother.
Bridger Peabody, a three-year-old boy, was staying with his great-grandmother Sharon Lewis on a February night in Strasburg, Colorado. His parents were at the hospital with his older sister, who had hurt her finger. The 78-year-old woman, whom Bridger calls “GiGi”, was walking with him to the back door when disaster struck. Lewis tripped and hit her head hard on a concrete step. She couldn’t get up. Blood was pouring out of a cut on her head and soaked (浸透) her clothes. Even worse, she had no way to call for help as her phone was in the car. They tried shouting loudly for help. A neighbor’s light glowed (发出微光) in the distance, but no one heard them.
Then Lewis knew the only solution was for Bridger to return to her car and get her phone. She had to ask her great-grandson to do something that scared him more than anything. It was nighttime, and the path to her car wasn’t lit. It was in total darkness. Up to that point, Bridger had never even opened a car door, let alone faced such a life-and-death challenge. But Lewis needed that phone to call for help.
“You know what, dear You are going to have to go out to the car and get my phone,” Lewis toldBridger, her voice steady (平稳的) despite the pain. “But it’s too dark, GiGi,” Bridger said. Lewis knew Bridger was very frightened, but she gave him courage with faith. “I know, but you’re going to have to be brave. You can do it, my dear.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
What happened next amazed everyone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Taking the phone, Lewis called 911 right away.

M: It was a clean-up activity near the river.
W: What did you do
M: We picked up litter and cleared out some unwanted plants. It was hard work, but I really enjoyed it. It felt good to see our city looking cleaner and more beautiful.
W: I’ve always wanted to do something like that. Was it hard to volunteer
M: Not really. I just signed up online, and the organizer emailed me all the details. I met lots of friendly people, too.
W: Would you do it again
M: Definitely. I learned a lot about how litter has an impact on animals. We humans hurt them without even realizing it.
W: That’s bad. I’ll go and volunteer with you next time.
M: That’d be great, Emma. We can also make posters to tell others about it in our community. I’m sure some neighbors would be up for lending a hand.

【原文】M: This is your school’s director, Mr. Yu. I hope you’ve had a great summer. I haven’t seen many of you since before last spring’s exams and the senior graduation! Today is the first page of a new story. School sometimes feels like just tests and marks, but it’s so much more than that. It’s about discovering what lights you up, learning from those around you, and figuring out who you are. The main challenge for all of you this year is to stay open-minded. Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone (舒适区).To help with that, we’re making some changes. You’ll still have group activities, tests, and study periods. But now, we’re adding more projects where students can work alone. Through these, you can find out what you’re really into. These projects are your chances to take the lead in your own learning. It might also give you an idea of what you want to study in university later.
That’s all from me. Next, some excellent teachers will share their plans for your new term.

Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!
That may well be Angela Peters’ motto. In July 2019, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of decorating her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon, which is not owned by Walmart, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier, Ebony Harris, watched the interaction from a few feet away. Recognizing Peters as a Walmart regular, Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails ” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah!” They then made their way into a neighboring Subway and found a table for two. Harris gently took Peters’ hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. Peters moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry. Harris told her, “Don’t say that. You’re fine.”
Watching it all with awe and admiration was a Subway employee, Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the sympathy and gentleness showed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “Harris was so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thank you for making this beautiful girl’s day!” “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody. She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she ” Harris said.
24. Why was Angela Peters turned away by the nail salon
A. The salon was closed. B. Her hands couldn’t remain still.
C. She didn’t have enough money. D. She was not a Walmart regular.
25. Where did Ebony Harris paint Angela Peters’ nails

Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown competence across various fields, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is changing greatly how scripts are developed, and stories are told.
Initially, Monica Landers, founder and CEO of StoryFit, used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles” (未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books. However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead. Consequently, it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years.
Primarily, StoryFit analyzes a script’s marketability (市场潜力), assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element connects with audiences. The film industry is high-risk, with considerable investments required before generating returns. StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful. StoryFit’s AI technology checks character qualities to evaluate audience responses, determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be. This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances.
Beyond marketability, StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline, offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure. The company also reports on plot inconsistencies, such as characters behaving consistently with their established qualities or disappearing from the storyline. Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw inspiration from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.”
Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry shows artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and emotional cinematic experiences.
28. What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films
A. The financial difficulties of publishing.
B. The limited future of publishing.
C. The decreasing customer base of publishing.
D. The lack of AI competence in publishing.
29. According to Landers, what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis
A. A data-driven advisor. B. A decision-maker.
C. A marketing specialist. D. A content developer.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry
A. Unclear. B. Supportive.
C. Objective. D. Negative.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. AI’s Failure to Match Human Creativity
B. StoryFit: A Great Company Leading the Film Industry
C. AI Transforms Script Development in Film
D. The Challenges of AI in High-Risk Industries
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI在电影行业改变剧本开发及故事讲述方式。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential limited and targeted the film industry instead. (然而,StoryFit发现出版行业的增长潜力不足,于是将目标转向了电影行业)”可知,StoryFit将重心从出版业转向电影业的原因是出版业增长前景有限。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw insights from the data rather than comment on the script. She stated, “You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions. But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.” (然而,兰德斯强调,他们的作用是从数据中提取见解,而不是对剧本进行评价。她表示:“有些人的整个职业生涯都基于做出这些决定。但我们可以成为一种技术声音,帮助他们了解剧本中存在的问题或不足之处。”)”可知,兰德斯认为StoryFit在剧本分析中的角色是数据驱动的顾问。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry shows artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling. As the technology advances, its impact on the film industry will only grow, paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences. (在电影行业使用像StoryFit这样的人工智能技术,展示了人工智能提升叙事的潜力。随着技术的进步,它对电影行业的影响只会越来越大,为更具吸引力和共鸣感的电影体验铺平道路)”可推知,作者对AI在电影行业的应用持支持态度。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown competence across various fields, but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve. However, companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way, particularly in the film industry, where it is changing greatly how scripts are developed, and stories are told. (人工智能(AI)在各个领域都表现出了能力,但与人类创造力相匹配仍然很难实现。然而,像StoryFit这样的公司正在以一种全新的方式使用人工智能,特别是在电影行业,它正在极大地改变剧本的开发方式和故事的讲述方式)”以及结合全文可知,文章主要说明了人工智能在电影行业的应用,特别是StoryFit公司在剧本开发和故事讲述方面的作用。文章介绍了StoryFit公司从出版业转向电影业的原因,以及其在剧本分析中的具体作用和优势。同时,文章也强调了人工智能在增强故事讲述潜力方面的作用,并展望了其在电影行业的未来发展。由此可知,C选项“AI Transforms Script Development in Film(人工智能改变了电影剧本的开发)”最符合文章标题。故选C。
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just from science fiction or unusual experiments. Cars run on hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already available, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is developing fast with the support of billions of dollars in federal research. So why are hydrogen cars almost never seen on U.S. roads today
“The answer is simple: cost issues,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and car makers once supported the fuel cell—which turns hydrogen’s chemical energy into electricity to power an electric motor—as the future of passenger cars. But cheaper batteries and a lot of electric vehicle charging infrastructure (基础设施) have pushed battery-electric cars far ahead.
To switch widely to hydrogen cars, we need to cut costs and build a large amount of infrastructure. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while there are more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing will change next year, or probably even in the next five years, but hydrogen vehicles have better uses ahead,” said Paltsev. In fact, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles work better for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Also, battery-electric vehicles have problems when it comes to driving range, charging time or carrying heavy loads.
The fact that hydrogen passenger cars aren’t practical in places like the U.S. now doesn’t mean we should just give up on hydrogen fuel-cell technology. “We might need it for many other reasons in the future,” Paltsev warned. He pointed out that international political issues could impede the supply of raw materials for batteries, making hydrogen cars suddenly more affordable.
32. What do we learn about the development of hydrogen fueling stations in the U.S.
A. They are evenly distributed across all states in the United States.
B. Their number is far less than that of electric vehicle charging stations.
C. They will reach 68,000 in the next five years according to current trends.
D. They are mainly built to serve passenger cars as their primary target users.
33. We can infer from the passage that battery-electric vehicles ________.
A. are not suitable for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks
B. have solved the problems of driving range and charging time
C. will be replaced by hydrogen vehicles in five years
D. require fewer raw materials than hydrogen vehicles
34. The underlined word "impede" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. hide B. delay C. encourage D. block
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Hydrogen vehicles have completely lost the competition with battery-electric cars.
B. Hydrogen fuel-cell technology is useless due to high costs and poor infrastructure.
C. Hydrogen vehicles face current challenges but have promising applications in the future.
D. The U.S. government should stop investing in hydrogen fuel-cell research.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了氢燃料电池车已问世且技术发展快,但因成本高、配套设施少,在美国道路上罕见。该技术未来更适用于卡车和航空领域,仍具发展价值。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while there are more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country. (美国能源部的替代燃料数据中心显示,目前美国共有55个公共氢燃料加注站,几乎都集中在加利福尼亚州,而全美范围内有超过68000个活跃的公共电动汽车充电站)”可知,氢燃料站的数量远少于电动汽车充电站。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles work better for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Also, battery-electric vehicles have problems when it comes to driving range, charging time or carrying heavy loads. (事实上,氢燃料电池车辆在中型和重型卡车以及航空领域表现更为出色。此外,纯电动汽车在续航里程、充电时间或承载重物方面存在一些问题)”可知,电动汽车不适合中重型卡车。故选A。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“He pointed out that international political issues could impede the supply of raw materials for batteries, making hydrogen cars suddenly more affordable.(他指出,国际政治问题可能会impede电池原材料的供应,从而使氢能源汽车突然变得更经济实惠)”可知,“电池原材料供应受影响”会让氢能源汽车更具优势,推测“impede”应表示对供应的负面作用,结合选项“block(阻碍)”符合语境。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nothing will change next year, or probably even in the next five years, but hydrogen vehicles have better uses ahead (明年情况不会有任何改变,甚至在未来五年内也大概不会有变化,但氢能源汽车未来仍有更广阔的应用前景)”以及文章主要说明了氢燃料电池车已问世且技术发展快,但因成本高、配套设施少,在美国道路上罕见。该技术未来更适用于卡车和航空领域,仍具发展价值。可知,这篇文章的主旨是氢能源汽车目前面临一些挑战,但未来仍有广阔的应用前景。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国著名的地标性建筑——故宫。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:故宫,中国最著名的地标性建筑之一,坐落在北京的中心,承载着600多年的历史。此处表示客观事实,句子时态用一般现在时,主语The Forbidden City是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填stands。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:游客们常常惊叹于那些宏伟的宫殿和精致的花园,它们经过精心设计,精准地体现了中国传统文化。空处作目的状语,需用动词不定式。故填to reflect。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:那些复杂精细的雕刻和金色的屋顶,在阳光下闪耀着璀璨的光芒,增添了这座宫殿的美丽。空格处用名词作宾语,beautiful的名词是beauty,是不可数名词。故填beauty。
【59题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:尽管中国有许多历史遗迹,但很少有能比故宫更令人印象深刻的了。由than可知,空格处用比较级,impressive的比较级是more impressive。故填more impressive。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这是一个古代艺术与皇权完美结合的地方,每年都吸引着数百万游客。空格处引导的是定语从句,先行词place,在定语从句中作地点状语,需用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:严格的规定已被实施,以防止粗心的游客对其造成破坏,确保它的魅力能完好地保留给子孙后代。prevent...from...是固定短语,意为“防止……”,因此空格处是介词from。故填from。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:故宫在冬季显得格外神奇,当薄薄的一层雪覆盖在屋顶上时,使得金色的砖瓦更加明亮耀眼。句中谓语是appears,空格处用非谓语动词,snow和cover之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词作后置定语。故填covering。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,现代技术已被用于保护和修复这一古老的杰作。由In recent years可知,句子时态用现在完成时,现代技术是被使用,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,即have/has been done,主语technologies是复数,因此空格处是have been used。故填have been used。
【64题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:近年来,现代技术已被用于保护和修复这一古老的杰作。century是可数名词,此处表示泛指,前面无不定冠词,因此空格处用复数centuries。故填centuries。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于那些热爱历史和建筑的人来说,参观故宫是必不可少的。visit是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,visit发音以辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a修饰。故填a。

【答案】appearance
【解析】

【答案】do justice to
【解析】

第二节(满分25分)
72. 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。
Love walks with us through every scary moment and gives us strength to face whatever frightens us. That’s exactly what happened to a child and his 78-year-old great-grandmother.
Bridger Peabody, a three-year-old boy, was staying with his great-grandmother Sharon Lewis on a February night in Strasburg, Colorado. His parents were at the hospital with his older sister, who had hurt her finger. The 78-year-old woman, whom Bridger calls “GiGi”, was walking with him to the back door when disaster struck. Lewis tripped and hit her head hard on a concrete step. She couldn’t get up. Blood was pouring out of a cut on her head and soaked (浸透) her clothes. Even worse, she had no way to call for help as her phone was in the car. They tried shouting loudly for help. A neighbor’s light glowed (发出微光) in the distance, but no one heard them.
Then Lewis knew the only solution was for Bridger to return to her car and get her phone. She had to ask her great-grandson to do something that scared him more than anything. It was nighttime, and the path to her car wasn’t lit. It was in total darkness. Up to that point, Bridger had never even opened a car door, let alone faced such a life-and-death challenge. But Lewis needed that phone to call for help.
“You know what, dear You are going to have to go out to the car and get my phone,” Lewis told Bridger, her voice steady (平稳的) despite the pain. “But it’s too dark, GiGi,” Bridger said. Lewis knew Bridger was very frightened, but she gave him courage with faith. “I know, but you’re going to have to be brave. You can do it, my dear.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
What happened next amazed everyone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Taking the phone, Lewis called 911 right away.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 What happened next amazed everyone. Bridger took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness. His tiny hands trembled as he felt his way toward the car. The cold night air made him shiver, but GiGi’s words echoed in his mind: “You can do it.” With determination, he reached the car, fumbled for the door handle, and finally grabbed the phone. Tears streaked his face, but he didn’t stop. He rushed back to GiGi, clutching the phone like a lifeline, and handed it to GiGi.
Taking the phone, Lewis called 911 right away. Her voice was weak but clear as she explained the situation. Within minutes, sirens wailed in the distance. Paramedics arrived, stabilizing Lewis and praising Bridger’s bravery. At the hospital, doctors treated her injury, and Bridger’s parents hugged him tightly, overwhelmed with pride. That night, a three-year-old proved that love conquers fear—and that even the smallest hero can shine in the darkest moments.
