第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize for her work in helping to discover a crucial new treatment for malaria. The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the “three nos” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas.
In 1967, malaria, a deadly disease at that time, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.
The team read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for the medicine for malaria, more than 240,000 compounds around the world had already been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 CE. The team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it.
But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague, Li Lianda, says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it.”
Another colleague, Liao Fuming, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.
21. According to paragraph 1, we can learn that 　　　.
A. Tu has a medical degree
B. Tu discovered a cure for malaria
C. Tu’s road to success is not traditional
D. Tu is the first woman to win the Nobel Prize
22. The underlined word “decimating” can be replaced by “　　　”.
A. encouraging B. killing
C. annoying D. benefiting
23. Tu Youyou can be best described as a 　　　person.
A. devoted and stubborn
B. considerate and tough
C. sociable and generous
D. straightforward and mean
B
We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in many cultures. So does laughter and crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behaviour patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest “anger” in Chinese whereas in English it means “surprise”. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretch out their tongues”! “Sticking out your tongue” in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognising fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognise or understand body language than younger people do.
24. According to the passage,________.
A. we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean
B. we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures
C. words can be better understood by older people
D gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot
25. In the same culture,________.
A people have different abilities to understand and express feelings
B. people have the same understanding of something
C. people never fail to understand each other
D. people are equally intelligent
26. From this passage,we can conclude ________.
A. words are used as frequently as gestures
B. words are often difficult to be understood
C. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings
D. gestures are more efficiently used than words
27. The best title for this passage may be “________”.
A. Words and feelings
B. Words, gestures and feelings
C. Gestures and feelings
D. Culture and understanding
C
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The reason is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’ a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to their everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
28. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D. The British usually use understatement.
29. The author explains understatement by ________.
A. describing a process B. making comparisons
C following the time order D. using examples
30. Mr Bean makes people laugh by ________.
A. using his body movements and facial expressions B. making jokes about others’ accent
C. copying how others behave D. telling funny stories
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. British humour in comedy B. Humour in different cultures
C. Understanding British humour D. Developing your sense of humour
D
Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney’s entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks Well, one reason is the way they’re treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests” as they prefer to call them and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”. Here, they learn about the company’s history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing “Traditions I”, the employees go on to more specialised training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four to eight hours of training a day. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.” Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long time business observer once said, “How Disney treats people,communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for its success. I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”
32. The main aim of the Disney employees is to 　　　.
A. learn all parts of the business
B. make their guests enjoy themselves
C. be able to answer all kinds of questions
D. keep their important guests happy
33. Each year,managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to .
A. set a good example to employees
B. remind themselves of their beginnings at Disney
C. gain a better view of the company’s goals
D. replace employees on holiday
34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.
B. Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.
C. Parades are regularly held in Disney’s entertainment parks.
D. Disney’s managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.
35. This passage is mainly about 　　　.
A. how Disney employees are trained
B. the history and traditions of the Disney enterprises
C. why Disney enterprises make a lot of money
D. the importance Disney places on serving people well

It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car．Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over．“What are you doing ” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows．
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask，“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ” She laughed at my confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again，“Did you leave your name ” To this she answered instantly，“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way．
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

【原文】M: How’s your English class going, Professor Smith
W: Oh, not so well. It’s a conversation class. I try to choose interesting topics, but only a couple of students speak. I really like my students, but I’m just not sure how to get the others to talk more. Maybe because it’s a morning class, they are all sleepy.
M: What countries are your students from
W: A lot of different countries, actually.
M: I think it may be a cultural difference. I had the same problem in my class before. In many cultures, people aren’t used to giving their opinions so directly.
W: Wow. I never thought about that. What should I do, then We can’t just have a silent conversation class.
M: Why don’t you talk about different conversation styles in class The students can share communication styles from their cultures.
W: That would be really interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize for her work in helping to discover a crucial new treatment for malaria. The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the “three nos” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas.
In 1967, malaria, a deadly disease at that time, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.
The team read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for the medicine for malaria, more than 240,000 compounds around the world had already been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 CE. The team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it.
But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague, Li Lianda, says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it.”
Another colleague, Liao Fuming, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.
21. According to paragraph 1, we can learn that 　　　.
A. Tu has a medical degree
B. Tu discovered a cure for malaria
C. Tu’s road to success is not traditional
D. Tu is the first woman to win the Nobel Prize
22. The underlined word “decimating” can be replaced by “　　　”.
A. encouraging B. killing
C. annoying D. benefiting
23. Tu Youyou can be best described as a 　　　person.
A. devoted and stubborn
B. considerate and tough
C. sociable and generous
D. straightforward and mean
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了屠呦呦的成就以及她锲而不舍的研究精神。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中“The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional.(这位84岁的老人获得这一荣誉的途径一点也不符合传统)”可知，屠呦呦的成功之路和传统的成功之路完全不一样。anything but 表示“决不；根本不”。故选C项。
【22题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前的主语部分“In 1967, malaria, a deadly disease at that time, spread by mosquitoes…(1967年，疟疾，一种当时由蚊子传播的致命疾病)”中deadly可知,当时疟疾是一种致命的疾病,这种病可以导致人死亡。 所以猜测下划线词的意思为“杀死”, 指这种疾病正在杀死在越南作战的患病中国士兵。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.(在又一次仔细阅读后，她最后一次改变了药物配方，加热化合物，但不让它达到沸点)”及第五段“After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug.(在这种药物在老鼠和猴子身上显示出令人鼓舞的效果后，屠呦呦自愿成为这种新药的第一个人体接受者)”可知，她对研究工作是全情投入并且具有献身精神；最后一段中的“Another colleague, Liao Fuming, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices.(与屠呦呦共事40多年的另一位同事廖福明形容屠呦呦是一个“坚强而固执的女人”。她非常固执，花了几十年的时间拼凑古代文献，并将其应用于现代科学实践)”可知,屠呦呦性格很固执, 执着地研究了几十年的古籍。故选A项。
B
We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in many cultures. So does laughter and crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behaviour patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest “anger” in Chinese whereas in English it means “surprise”. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretch out their tongues”! “Sticking out your tongue” in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognising fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognise or understand body language than younger people do.
24. According to the passage,________.
A. we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean
B. we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures
C. words can be better understood by older people
D. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot
25. In the same culture,________.
A. people have different abilities to understand and express feelings
B. people have the same understanding of something
C. people never fail to understand each other
D. people are equally intelligent
26. From this passage,we can conclude ________.
A. words are used as frequently as gestures
B. words are often difficult to be understood
C. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings
D. gestures are more efficiently used than words
27. The best title for this passage may be “________”.
A. Words and feelings
B. Words, gestures and feelings
C. Gestures and feelings
D. Culture and understanding
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言和动作在表达感情时的一些现象。

细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.(我们用语言和手势来表达我们的感受，但问题是这些语言和手势可以用不同的方式来理解)”可知，当人们用语言或手势描述他们的感情时，我们常常不能确定他们的意思是什么。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Even in the same culture, people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings. (即使在同一种文化中，人们理解和表达感情的能力也是不同的)”可知，在同一种文化中，人们理解和表达感情的能力是不同的。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.(我们用语言和手势来表达我们的感受，但问题是这些语言和手势可以用不同的方式来理解)”可推知，语言和手势都是用来表达感情的。故选C。

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The reason is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’ a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to their everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
28. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D. The British usually use understatement.
29. The author explains understatement by ________.
A. describing a process B. making comparisons
C. following the time order D. using examples
30. Mr Bean makes people laugh by ________.
A. using his body movements and facial expressions B. making jokes about others’ accent
C. copying how others behave D. telling funny stories
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. British humour in comedy B. Humour in different cultures
C Understanding British humour D. Developing your sense of humour
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了理解英国人幽默，其关键点是轻描淡写和喜欢开自己和他人的玩笑。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段二三句“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The reason is that the British often use understatement. (然而，外国人往往很难理解他们的笑话。原因是英国人经常使用轻描淡写的手法。)”可知，外国人不太理解英国笑话的原因在于他们使用轻描淡写的手法。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中二三句“For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’ a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” (例如，如果某人在一场大雨中淋湿了，他可能会说：‘外面有点潮湿。’或者，如果某人非常不礼貌，对另一个人大喊大叫，其他人可能会说，‘她不太友好。’)”可知，作者通过举例来解释“轻描淡写的手法”。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. (憨豆先生不经常说话，而是用身体动作和面部表情来逗人发笑。)”可知，憨豆先生用自己的身体动作和面部表情让人们笑。故选A项。

Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney’s entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks Well, one reason is the way they’re treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests” as they prefer to call them and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”. Here, they learn about the company’s history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing “Traditions I”, the employees go on to more specialised training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four to eight hours of training a day. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.” Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long time business observer once said, “How Disney treats people,communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for its success. I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”
32. The main aim of the Disney employees is to 　　　.
A. learn all parts of the business
B. make their guests enjoy themselves
C. be able to answer all kinds of questions
D. keep their important guests happy
33. Each year,managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to .
A. set a good example to employees
B. remind themselves of their beginnings at Disney
C. gain a better view of the company’s goals
D. replace employees on holiday
34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.
B. Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.
C. Parades are regularly held in Disney’s entertainment parks.
D. Disney’s managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.
35. This passage is mainly about 　　　.
A. how Disney employees are trained

【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ____52____ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者的志向——为了下一代节省地球资源。作者认为可以从很多方面节省资源，如减少工厂排放的废水，使用环保材质的东西等。只要人们共同努力起来，就能使地球变得更干净。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我的人生目标是为子孙后代保护环境。分析句子，句中is为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词。此处表示“目的是去做某事”使用不定式结构作表语。故填to protect。
【57题详解】

考查时态。句意：世界人口不断增长，我们制造了更多的垃圾，消耗了更多的原材料。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，句子表述动作现在正在发生，故使用现在进行时，主语是we，be动词应用are。故填are producing。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我相信，如果我们都愿意共同努力，我们就能克服这些挑战，保持地球的清洁和健康。句中be willing to do为固定短语，意为“愿意去做某事”，使用不定式结构。故填to work。

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，续写的词数应为150左右。
It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car．Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over．“What are you doing ” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows．
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask，“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ” She laughed at my confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again，“Did you leave your name ” To this she answered instantly，“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way．

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

We were worrying about what could be done.

Paragraph 2
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed me what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
