2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fetes—New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenne—Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables（马厩） of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava-Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas—Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients（原料） still be considered Thai For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws ins piration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

A couple has recently placed their garbage can out for collection for the first time in 14 months, all thanks to their recycling skills. Richard and Louise Arnold have established such an effective routine that they only need to put their garbage can on the side of the street once a year.
Louise explained that making small monthly changes in her life has resulted in her family producing very little waste. She said, “It’s not as difficult as you might think if you start with small steps. We began with soap, switching from bath cream to natural soap without packaging. These bars are large enough that we cut them in half, using one for the sink and the other half for the shower. It’s both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.”
“So it’s actually quite easy. Just go around your house and think of little things you can do gradually, and you’ll start noticing the difference,” Louise added. Currently, the couple takes recyclable waste to the tip, donates clothes to charity shops, and brings soft plastics and batteries to a shop that accepts them.
In 2017, the couple established No Waste Living, which initially started as a weekend stall at the local market and has since developed into a website. Louise regularly writes a newsletter for her hundreds of subscribers. They also started selling eco-friendly products, ranging from non-chemical household cleaning and washing solutions for a “less toxic home” to bamboo washing-up brushes. Louise mentioned, “I started No Waste Living because I wanted to show our achievement s and lead by example.”
Although the family occasionally faces criticism, Louise remains determined. She said, “The main point of contention（争论） for people regarding new waste rules is having to drive their waste to a recycling center, which adds to their already busy lives. However, in the long run, you will create more space in your home, save money, and spend less time dealing with garbage cans.”
24．How did the couple start their waste reduction journey
A．By replacing small soaps with large ones. B．By using a small amount of bath cream.
C．By using unpackaged soap bars. D．By recycling soft plastics and batteries.
25．Why did the couple found No Waste Living
A．To bring eco-products to market. B．To inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
C．To treat recyclable waste from the neighborhood. D．To answer the call of their subscribers.
26．Why do some people dislike new waste rules
A．They mean more work to deal with garbage.
B．They increase the cost of garbage collection.
C．They establish a set time for waste management.
D．They limit the daily amount of garbage for collection.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．A business - minded couple. B．The “less poisonous home” concept.
C．The global trend in recycling. D．A planet- friendly lifestyle.
C
“Don’t be a victim.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear a lot if you take a crime-prevention class. Basically, it means that there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be mugged, assaulted, or otherwise attacked. Don’t wave your cash around like you’re a billionaire. Don’t be distracted on the subway. Walk with a purpose.
That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that “he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc...” Unfortunately, research demonstrated the reality that criminals do in fact look for, or at least notice certain characters when selecting potential victims. While nothing excuses crime, knowledge is power in the sense that there are things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out alone.
In the report titled “Psychopathy and Victim Selection” the researchers surveyed 47 criminals at a maximum -security prison in Ontario and found that social predators are very good at picking victims based on their posture and gait（步伐）. They noted that people might be releasing vulnerability to criminals through their postures, gestures, and exaggerated movements.
The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking — eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim. These “victim ratings” were then compared against each person’s actual history of victimization. Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as “likely victims” were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have “walked like an easy target”— slowly, unfocused, with short steps.
The sample size here is really small. Maybe we shouldn’t give this study’s findings too much weight. Nevertheless, it emphasizes something that seems pretty unconscious. Criminals aren’t looking for a challenge. Rather, they want someone timid and inattentive. So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster.
28．Why does the author mention the serial killer Ted Bundy
A．To call on more people to learn psychology.
B．To prove that someone can be a natural criminal.
C．To demonstrate some skills to distinguish criminals.
D．To emphasize the importance of the right walking habit.
29．How did the researchers conduct their research on victim selection
A．By analyzing crime data in various neighborhoods.
B．By filming criminals as they selected their potential victims.
C．By filming people walking and getting criminals’ opinions.
D．By studying the psychology of crime victims in a maximum-security prison.
30．According to the research which gait will most attract criminals’ attention
A．Walking with a group of people cheerfully
B．Purposeful walking with slow steps.
C．Distracted walking with short steps.
D．Walking with confident and exaggerated movements.
31．What’s the author’s attitude toward walking confidently and aggressively
A．Doubtful. B．Favorable. C．Disapproving. D．Indifferent.
D
As many as 300 million full-time jobs throughout the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like ChatGPT, according to Goldman Sachs economists.
In a report Sunday, they predicted that 18% of work globally could be computerized, with the effects caused more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets. That’s partly because white-collar workers are seen to be more at risk than manual laborers. Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected, the economists said, compared to the “little effect” seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations, such as construction and repair work.
In the United States and Europe, about two-thirds of current jobs “are exposed to some degree of AI automation”, and up to a quarter of all work could be done by AI completely, the bank estimates.
Further use of such Al will likely contribute to job losses, the Goldman Sachs economists wrote. But they noted that technological innovation that initially displaces workers has historically also created employment growth in the long run.
While workplaces may shift, widespread adoption of Al could ultimately increase labor productivity — and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period, according to Goldman Sachs economists.
“Although the impact of AI on the labor market is likely to be significant, most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented rather than replaced by AI,” the economists added. “Most workers are employed in occupations that are partially exposed to AI automation and, following AI adoption, will likely apply at least some of their freed-up capacity toward productive activities that increase output.”
Of US workers expected to be affected, for instance, 25% to 50% of their workload “can be replaced,” the researchers added. “The combination of significant labor cost savings, new job creation, and a productivity boost for non-displaced workers raises the possibility of a labor productivity boom like those that followed the emergence of earlier general-purpose technologies like the electric motor and personal computer.”
32．Who are less likely to be affected by AI automation according to Paragraph 2
A．Repairmen. B．White-collar workers.
C．Administrative workers. D．Lawyers.
33．What can we learn about AI according to Goldman Sachs economists
A．AI may cause little impact on the labor market. B．AI may increase labor productivity.
C．AI has replaced most jobs and industries. D．AI has caused huge job losses.
34．What does the underlined word “complement” in paragraph 6 mean
A．To add to something to improve. B．To destroy.
C．To introduce new things. D．To displace.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．The Concept of AI B．The Achievement s of AI
C．The Development of AI D．The Impacts of AI

How to Have Open Communication
When you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. 36 There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.
37 Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.
Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen. 38
Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. 39 This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.
Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow. 40 After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needs and your experiences. By doing so, you’re hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.
A．Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.
B．Bring something positive into your communication.
C．Discuss what you need to communicate openly.
D．Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.
E．This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.
F．Wait for the appropriate time and place.
G．Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.

Looking over the top of the book, I glanced across at the new girl named Rochelle. She only joined our class at the beginning of the week. It must be hard starting a new school in the middle of the year.
At last, the bell went for the end of the day. I spotted Rochelle running towards a tall woman who must be her mum. Then I saw a surprising thing. Rochelle’s mum was waving her arms round and making shapes with her fingers, and Rochelle was doing the same with hers. It was like they were talking to each other with their hands. Oh, could her mother be deaf My mind was filled with questions.
The next day, I was reading this week’s words when I felt a tap（轻拍） on my shoulder. I looked up and Rochelle was standing in front of me. “Shall we test each other ” she asked, pointing to my spelling book.
“Yes, of course,” I replied. But I was still wondering how to ask the questions that had been tumbling（翻腾）around in my head since yesterday.
“So, um, that hand thing you did with your mum...”
“Signing.”
“Yeah, signing. Is it because she’s, um., deaf ”
“Yes, both my parents are deaf, so I communicate with them through sign.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. That must be really difficult.” I could tell by the frown on Rochelle’s face that I’d said something wrong, but I didn’t know what. “So, did your parents need someone to help them look after you when you were a baby ”
“Of course not,” Rochelle got annoyed. “Why would being deaf mean they can’t look after me Being deaf doesn’t mean they’re stupid,” she was almost shouting. “In fact, they’re much cleverer than most people I know.” Hearing that, I got hot all over. I didn’t say her parents were stupid. But before I could explain, the bell went and she strode（阔步行走） out of the classroom. I hurried after her, but when I tried to speak to her, she kept her back to me as if I were her enemy.
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。
After school, I saw Rochelle and her mother moving their hands quickly. ________________________________

W: I didn’t know that. How much difference is there
M: 5 years ago it was possible to run air-conditioning 24 hours a day for just $20 a month. Today the same air-conditioning unit in the same house would cost over $45 a month.

On the cards, children often write, “Thanks, Mom”, “To the best mother in the world” and so on. Then where did the idea for the holiday come from We should thank Miss Anna Mari e Jarvis. It is she who brought up the idea of having such a day. She lived in West Virginia. Anna’s mother was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues（问题）. Her mother died on May 9th,1905．On the anniversary of her mother’s death, she invited some friends to an informal memorial meeting. In 1907, a church service was held on her mother’s death anniversary. Anna’s love for her mother moved other people. Besides, she wrote letters to important persons of the country suggesting a public holiday to honor all mothers. In 1914, the United States Congress agreed that the second Sunday in May should be appointed as Mother’s Day. Finally, the decision was announced by President Wilson.

24．细节理解题。根据第二段中 We began with soap, switching from bath cream to natural soap without packaging（我们从肥皂开始，从沐浴露转向没有包装的天然肥皂。）可知，这对夫妇开始通过将沐浴露换成没有包装的天然肥皂来减少垃圾。故选C。
25．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段I started No Waste Living because I wanted to show our achievements and lead by example.（我创办“不浪费生活”是因为我想展示我们的成就，以身作则。）可知，Richard和Louise创建NoWasteLiving的目的是展示他们的成就并以身作则。也就是说，他们希望通过自己的经历激励他人效仿他们的做法，减少浪费。故选B。

C篇
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究表明罪犯会通过走路的姿态寻找潜在的受害者，并建议大步、注意力集中、快速地走路。
28．D 29．C 30．C 31．B
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Walk with a purpose.（有目的地行走。）”和第二段中的“That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that ‘he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc...’（最后一项尤为重要，因为根据《人际暴力杂志》的一项新研究，一些罪犯非常善于根据你的走路方式感知弱点。事实上，连环杀手Ted Bundy在1985年的一次个人采访中承认，‘他可以通过受害者走在街上的方式、她的头部倾斜、她做姿势的方式等来判断一个受害者。’）”可知，有目的地行走非常重要，因为《人际暴力杂志》的研究发现一些罪犯非常善于根据你的走路方式感知弱点，并提到连环杀手Ted Bundy判断受害者的方式来证实这一点，由此可推测出，作者用连环杀手Ted Bundy是想强调正确走路习惯的重要性。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking—eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim.（研究人员秘密拍摄了12个人走路的画面，其中8名女性和4名男性，其中一些人之前曾遭到袭击。然后，他们将视频展示给一群罪犯，并询问他们每个人是否都会成为一个好的受害者。）”可知，研究人员拍摄了人们走路的画面并展示给一群罪犯，询问他们的意见。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as ‘likely victims’ were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have ‘walked like an easy target’—slowly, unfocused, with short steps.（果不其然，犯罪分子挑选的‘可能的受害者’通常是过去的受害者。据说这些人经常‘走路像一个容易被攻击的目标’——缓慢、注意力不集中、步子小。）”可知，走路时注意力不集中、步子小、缓慢的人最有可能吸引罪犯的注意力。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster.（所以，大步走在街上，就像拥有它一样。你新的、咄咄逼人的步态可能会吓跑罪犯。即使这项研究被证明是胡说八道，你仍然会更快地到达目的地。）”可推测出，作者对自信而咄咄逼人的步态持支持态度。故选B。
D篇
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。未来多达3亿全职工作岗位可能受到人工智能的影响，以某种方式实现自动化。虽然这可能导致失业，但长远来看，这可以减少劳动力成本、创造新的就业岗位、提高劳动生产率。
32．A 33．B 34．A 35．D
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected, the economists said, compared to the “little effect” seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations, such as construction and repair work.（这些经济学家们表示，与建筑和维修等对体力要求高或户外的工作表现出的“几乎没有影响”相比，行政工作者和律师预计将受到最大影响）”可知，行政工作者和律师这些白领员工受到的影响比建筑工作者和维修工作者高，所以结合选项，维修工受到的影响较小。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第五段“While workplaces may shift, widespread adoption of Al could ultimately increase labor productivity — and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period, according to Goldman Sachs economists.（高盛经济学家表示，虽然工作场所可能会发生变化，但广泛采用AI最终可能会提高劳动生产率，并在10年内每年将全球GDP提高7%）”可知，AI可能会提高劳动生产率。故选B。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Although the impact of AI on the labor market is likely to be significant, most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented rather than replaced by AI”可知，although表示让步，即尽管人工智能对劳动力市场的影响可能很大，但大多数工作和行业只是部分受到自动化的影响，因此更有可能被人工智能补充而不是取代，故划线词意思是“增加到某事物中使其改善”。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。文章首段“As many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like ChatGPT, according to Goldman Sachs economists.（高盛经济学家表示，全球多达3亿个全职工作岗位可以通过最新一波的人工智能以某种方式实现自动化，这一波人工智能已经造就了像ChatGPT这样的平台。）”点明主旨，指出人工智能会对全球许多工作产生影响。再结合接下来的内容可知，高盛经济学家具体讨论了人工智能对工作岗位和劳动生产率的影响。由此可推测出，本文围绕“人工智能的影响”展开。D项“人工智能的影响”最适合做文章标题。故选D。
第二节
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何进行开放式沟通，涉及到如何选择沟通时机、保持耐心、倾听对方以及诚实表达自己的想法和感受等方面。
36．D 37．F 38．G 39．A 40．E
36．根据空前内容“When you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways.（当你可以开诚布公地交流时，你就可以开始以多种方式改善你的人际关系，无论是个人关系还是工作关系。）”可知，开放式沟通有很多好处。选项D“Open communication increasestrust and helps bridge differences.（坦诚的交流增加信任，有助于弥合分歧。）”延续上文内容，讲述的仍然是开放式沟通的好处。故选D。
37．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.（注意在何时何地你需要与某人进行讨论，特别是当你有重要的分歧时。如果你被家人包围或在公共场合，那么有人不太可能在交流时敞开心扉。因此，在对你和你的伴侣都更方便的时候进行讨论。）”可知，本段主要讲述的是要在合适的时间和地点进行沟通。选项F“Wai t for the appropriate time and place.（等待合适的时间和地点。）”正是本文主要内容。故选F。
38．根据上文内容“When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen.（当情绪高涨时，很容易被这些情绪所笼罩，想要把所有的观点都表达出来。但这可能会使沟通变得更加困难，因为你太专注于你的感觉，而无法专注于你需要说什么。要有耐心，允许沉默发生。）”可知，开放式沟通需要交谈的人要给彼此耐心。选项G“Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.（有时候你需要时间去思考和准确地表达自己。）”与上文内容一致，指的是当情绪高涨时，我们需要有耐心，给自己时间去思考和准确表达自己。故选G。
39．根据空后的“This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately.（这可以让你看看是否有任何误解，并让你有时间准确地理解他的话。）”可知，空处应该和某个技巧相关，该技巧可以让自己更好地理解对方的话。选项A“Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.（如果需要，可以问问题，甚至可以重复他说过的话。）”与下文内容一致，指的是可以问对方问题或重复对方的话，这样我们才可以更准确地理解对方的话。故选A。
40．根据空前内容“Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow.（有时我们觉得有必要软化我们的语言，以减轻打击。）”可知，我们在表达的时候语言不要太过犀利。选项E“This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.（这可能是因为我们不想伤害对方。）”延续上文内容，指的是我们软化自己的语言是因为不想伤害对方。故选E。

【分析】110岁的利娅认为人们应该表现出爱和同情，于是决定在当地的一次活动上分发她手工制作的手镯，并要求每个得到手镯的人为别人做一件好事。当利娅分发手镯时，消息传开了。她开始收到来自世界各地的手镯请求，并收到了那些做过善事的人的来信。她还通过自己出售腕带和捐赠的钱来帮助他人，鼓励他想帮助别人的孩子。
41．C根据设空处后的and sympathy及下文提及的利娅通过分发手镯来呼吁人们重视他人可知，利娅认为人们应该表现出爱和同情。love意为“爱”，符合语境。
42．C 根据下文的asked each person who got one to do a kind deed for someone else可知，利娅决定在当地的一次活动上分发她手工制作的手镯。hand out意为“分发”，符合语境。根据第三段的Leah gave out bracelets及第五段的she has sent out也可知答案。
43．A 根据设空处后的to each bracelet said,“Let’s just show other people...”可知，每个手镯上都附有一张纸条。attach 意为“附上”，符合语境。
44．B 根据上文的asked each person who got one to do a kind deed for someone else可知，利娅要求每个得到手镯的人为别人做一件好事，说明她希望人们向其他人展示他们被重视。value意为“重视”，符合语境。
45．D 根据下文的 She began to receive bracelet requests worldwide 可知，此处指利娅分发手镯的消息传开了。word意为“信息；消息”，符合语境。
46．B 根据上文的to hear from people who’d delivered kind deeds可知，本段列举的是他人为别人做的善举，故此处是指一个人用三明治给一个疲惫的店员带来了惊喜。surprise意为“使诧异”，符合语境。
47．D 根据设空处后的touched my heart was that someone established a homeless camp可知，此处指有人建立了一个无家可归者的营地，这件事真正触动了利娅的内心。sincerely意为“真正地；真诚地”，符合语境。
48．B 根据下文的she began selling wristbands... languages可知，利娅无法满足人们对手镯的需求，所以开始售卖在外侧写着“善心传递”，内侧写着“友好”的腕带。meet意为“满足”，符合语境。
49．A 根据第三段中的She began to receive bracelet requests worldwide可知，利娅收到的是来自世界各地的手镯需求，由此可推测，这些腕带是用不同的语言写的。different意为“不同的”，符合语境。

第二节 语法填空 （每小题1.5分，共10题，共15分）
56．答案是 from。该题考查介词。“从……至……”固定使用介词“from... to”。
57．答案是 a。该题考查冠词的使用。“a series of”是固定表达，表示“一系列”。
58．答案是 and。该题考查连词。本空前后两个名词组，分别表示春节和端午节。按英语的表达习惯，同类事物之间需要根据逻辑关系添加连词。此处是并列关系，所以用and。
59．答案是 various。该题考查词性转换（动词-形容词） 。根据句意，需要形容词 various 修饰名词activities。意思是“各种各样的活动”。
60．答案是 events。该题考查名词单复数。event是可数名词，而前面有数词724做限定，因此必须使用复数形式。

62．答案是 to expand。本题考查非谓语动词to do（不定式）。在句中已有谓语动词的情况下，非谓语动词的形式选择要根据句意判断。这里表示目的，故而用不定式。
63．答案是 which。本题考查定语从句引导词。这是一个插入成分（定语从句起到说明前文的作用）。which代表“the surge”在定语从句中做主语。
64.答案是 recovery。本题考查词性转换（动词-名词）。名词“consumption ”修饰名词“recovery”表示“消费恢复”。
65．答案是 achieved。本题考查谓语动词时态。从时间信息（时间状语year of 2023）可以判断句子时态是过去时，谓语动词achieve应当使用过去式。

第二节（满分25分）
【分析】前文故事梗概：学年中，班里来了一位名叫Rochelle的新同学。我对这位同学很好奇。第一天放学的时候，发现来接她的妈妈用手势跟她交流，她也做相应的回应。第二天，趁新同学主动找我进行单词测试的机会，问起此事，开始交谈还好，后来在我的不断追问下，她变得很生气，以为我说她父母笨，虽然我并无此意。……
续写安排：第一段：After school, I saw Rochelle and her mother moving their hands quickly. ①（与前一句衔接）我很好奇：想知道到底她们通过手势语言在交流些什么②（过渡） 得知其意后，Rochelle 向我道歉并主动大方地跟我介绍她妈妈③（承上启下） 我们的相处非常融洽，但是……
第二段：All of a sudden, Rochelle was coming over to me, with her eyes watery and red.①（与前一句衔接）她说明其中的原委②（过渡） 我的感受和反应③（收尾） 对此事的感悟
After school, I saw Rochelle and her mother moving their hands quickly. Curiosity drove me to be lost in exploring what information they did transfer on earth. Rochelle’s sudden greeting dragged me back to life, apologizing for her misunderstanding and introducing her mother to me graciously. The rest of the semester gave us a valuable friendship, during which we practiced gestures attentively, wandered around the campus happily and helped each other sincerely. However, I hadn’t expected the day of the farewell would come so soon! That was one day before the end of the semester when we were playing badminton. I sensed something unusual in Rochelle.
All of a sudden, Rochelle was coming over to me, with her eyes watery and red. It shocked me, for we got along well all the time. After my repeated inquiries, she finally told me the truth. She had to move to another city with her parents for a better life. Hearing this, I was rooted in the court, mind going blank. However, I gave myself a forced smile and hugged her tightly, saying nothing could weaken our precious friendship. Though reluctant, what I could do was to offer my earnest wish to Rochelle. Such an unforgettable experience left me not only a long-last friendship but the treasure of understanding, acceptance and appreciation.
