Scientists find when tiny plastics end up in farm fields, the pollution can impair plant growth. But two young researchers now report that combining fungi (真菌) with certain farm wastes can partially overcome that problem. May Shin, 20, and Jiwon Choi, 18, presented their discovery at the 2023 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF).
The pair met in a research design class at the Fryeburg Academy, a high school in Maine. May had wanted to explore how microplastics might affect the ecosystem. Jiwon was fascinated by plants and fungi. The young scientists shared their interests, May says, to test how long-lived plastics might affect farm crops—and how to limit any harm.
May and Jiwon planted more than 2,000 scallion (韭葱) seeds in pots of soil. Half the seeds got soil polluted with microplastics. The rest grew in plastic-free soil. The plants assigned to each soil were further divided into four groups. The young scientists added certain microscopic fungi to the soil in one group. Another group had a top layer of farm wastes. A third group got both treatments. The last group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (萌芽) in each group and measured the plants’ height once each week.
About twice as many scallions sprouted in clean soil compared to that containing plastic bits. But among plants surviving in the polluted soil, a combination of microscopic fungi and farm wastes helped them out. Those getting both treatments grew 5.4 centimeters(about 2 inches)per week. That was faster than either of the treatments alone or those getting none. It was slower, however, than scallions planted in clean soil. They grew 7.2 centimeters(2.8 inches)per week.
In the future, the two young scientists hope to continue testing microscopic fungi and farm wastes under other conditions. Their goal is to see how other factors might change the plants’ response to the soil treatments.
4. What can we learn about May and Jiwon from the first two paragraphs
A. They met in a college.
B. They grow fungi at home.
C. They like to collect farm wastes.
D. They worked together harmoniously.
5 Why did the writer give detailed description to the test in paragraph 3
A. To examine the different plants.
B. To build a scientific model.
C. To show the reliability of the test.
D. To arouse the readers’ interest.
6. What can be found from the result of the test
A. Farm wastes help sprout most in polluted soil.
B. Microscopic fungi helps sprout most in polluted soil.
C. Scallions sprout better in clean soil than in polluted soil.
D. Plants grow better in polluted soil with wastes than in clean soil.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The two scientists are determined.
B. There are many ways to treat soils.
C. Farm wastes will be more valuable.
D. Microscopic fungi will be widely used.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两位“小科学家”通过实验有了新的发现：真菌有助于减少污染。

The plants assigned to each soil were further divided into four groups. The young scientists added certain microscopic fungi to the soil in one group. Another group had a top layer of farm wastes. A third group got both treatments. The last group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (萌芽) in each group and measured the plants’ height once each week. ( May和Jiwon在花盆里种了2000多颗葱籽。一半的种子被微塑料污染了。其余的在无塑料土壤中生长。每种土壤的植物被进一步分为四组。年轻的科学家们在一组土壤中加入了某些微小的真菌。另一组的表层是农场废弃物。第三组同时接受两种治疗。最后一组没有。在三周的时间里，这两个人追踪了每一组中发芽的葱的数量，并每周测量一次植物的高度。)”可知，本段详述了实验过程，为了展示实验的可信度。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。据第四段中“About twice as many scallions sprouted in clean soil compared to that containing plastic bits. ( 在干净的土壤中，大葱发芽的数量是在塑料土壤中发芽的两倍。)”和“It was slower, however, than scallions planted in clean soil. They grew 7.2 centimeters(2.8 inches)per week. (然而，它比在干净的土壤中种植的葱生长得慢。它们每周长7.2厘米(2.8英寸)。)”可知，大葱在干净的土壤中比在污染的土壤中发芽好。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。据最后一段的“In the future, the two young scientists hope to continue testing microscopic fungi and farm wastes under other conditions. (未来，这两位年轻的科学家希望在其他条件下继续测试微观真菌和农场废物。)” 可推断，这两位年轻的科学家意志坚定，追求真理，故选A。
C
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort
Art can connect culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover (交迭) between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social relationships are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
8. As for art products, which would the author agree with
A. Most people buy them for collection.
B. Their prices may climb up as time passes.
C. They differ from many other commercial products.
D. They have cultural values rather than commercial values.
9. Kids who engage with the arts tend to ________.
A. be more responsible adults when they grow up
B. be more confident in exhibiting their learning skills
C. have more opportunities to do creative jobs in the future
D. have better learning performance and emotional development
10. What can we learn from this passage
A. Art products are more expensive.
B. The arts can make people feel lonelier.
C. Artistic activities can improve people’s health.
D. The arts can help people become more beautiful.
11. What is the best title for this passage
A. Art Is Beneficial for Patients B. Art Wastes Time and Effort
C. Art Can Prevent Heart Disease D. Art Is Important to Humankind
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从艺术与文化、商业的交融、社区凝聚力、身心健康以及教育成就等方面，全面阐述了艺术的重要性和积极影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Art can connect culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.(艺术可以把文化和商业产品联系起来，这是其他很多东西做不到的。艺术能赚钱，并在社区中拥有重要的情感和文化价值。)”以及“People don’t just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover (交迭) between culture and commerce.(人们不再只是想要物质上的东西，他们想要体验生活——艺术是文化和商业之间的完美交迭。)”可知，作者认为艺术作品和其他商业产品不一样，艺术作品将文化和产品联系在一起，使文化和商业之间的完美交迭。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. (参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就:那些参与戏剧的孩子有更大的文学能力，而其他参加音乐实践的孩子在数学和语言方面表现出更大的技能。)”以及“Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.(参与艺术活动对儿童发展至关重要;鼓励孩子以建设性的方式表达自己可以帮助他们在以后的生活中形成健康的情绪反应。)”可知，参与艺术的孩子未来会在学业上有更好的表现，并且拥有健康的情绪反应。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. (艺术显然对身心健康有相当积极的影响。研究发现，经常去文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不这样做的人更有可能获得良好的健康；更多地参与艺术与人们的更高水平的福祉有关。)”可知，艺术对人们的身心健康有着积极的影响，也就是说艺术可以改善人们的健康。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort (艺术无处不在。任何公共空间都是由艺术头脑精心设计的，既实用又美观。那么，为什么艺术仍然被广泛认为是学校里的“轻松科目”，对更广泛的社会来说无足轻重，是浪费时间和精力呢？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要从艺术与文化、商业的交融、社区凝聚力、身心健康以及教育成就等方面，全面阐述了艺术的重要性和积极影响。故选D。
D
I turned 8 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities Did I get high Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was trilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of siting in a classroom taking another exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
12. Why did the author skip school on that day
A. Because she’s fascinated by a novel. B. Because it’s a biting cold winter morning.
C. Because her parents left home early. D. Because she’s anxious to take the exam.
13. What did the author think is the source of true joy
A. Reading a fiction by the fire. B. Travelling with a bunch of expatriates.
C. Being occupied by one’s passion. D. Breaking the rules and regulations.
14. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph
A. Mending. B. Destroying. C. Entering. D. Blocking.
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. The author was tired of his roles in the real-life.
B. Becoming a writer is the author’s childhood dream.
C. The author skipped school when he was 8 years old.
D. Writing has a horrible effect on the author’s life now.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I turned 8 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!(我第一次逃课的那天，我8岁了。这很容易做到：我的校车在工作日到达之前，我的父母都去上班了，所以当校车在那个寒冷的冬天早上出现在我家时，我根本没有上车。这是一种完美的犯罪！)”以及第三段“I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was trilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while.(我在木炉里烧了一堆暖火，准备了一碗爆米花，抓起一条毯子，开始阅读。我被一本书打动了——那是海明威的《太阳照常升起》——我只需要和它单独呆一会儿)”可知，作者那天逃课，是因为她被海明威的《太阳照常升起》迷住了。故选A。

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语前面的句子“Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. (现在回想起来，我可以看到，在我全神贯注的状态下，一些微妙的事情正在发生在我的脑海和生活中)”以及下文“I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. (我正在下载关于如何创建简单优雅的句子、良好而扎实的情节的信息。换句话说，我正在学习如何写作。在没有意识到这一点的情况下，我正紧追着自己的命运)”可知，海明威的语言风格在潜移默化之中影响了作者对语言的感悟，海明威的语言风格进入了作者的思维中，影响了作者，由此可知，划线短语的意思为“进入”。故选C。

【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了微活动，即占用你不超过五分钟时间的活动。
【16题详解】
下文“Quite literally, it means “extremely small”. But in this article, a micro activity will refer to something which takes up no more than five minutes of your time.(确切地说，它的意思是“非常小”。但在本文中，微活动指的是占用你不超过五分钟时间的活动。)”说明上文应该提出问题，微活动的含义是什么。B选项“What does it really mean （这到底意味着什么？）”提出了问题，下文就给了解释。故选B.
【17题详解】
上文“Self-massaging should become a part of your daily musts.(自我按摩应该成为你日常必备的一部分。)”说明自我按摩非常重要。刷牙和洗澡是每个人必备的日常活动。D选项“It should be as necessary as brushing your teeth or taking a shower.（这应该和刷牙或洗澡一样必要。）”这里作者表面自我按摩对每个人而言要跟刷牙和洗澡一样每天都要进行。符合上文所说日常按摩要成为日常必需的一部分。故选D.
【18题详解】
上文“In less than five minutes, the goal is to break a sweat. This can be from running or lifting weights.(在不到五分钟的时间里，我们的目标是流汗。这可能来自跑步或举重。)”说明微活动中的高强度运动的目标是让人们流汗。G选项“It doesn’t matter which activity you choose, so long as you bring intensity to that workout.（你选择哪项运动并不重要，只要你能给训练带来强度。）”符合上文作者说的无论你选择哪种活动，都需要能达到流汗的强度。故选G.
【19题详解】
根据下文“Thus we will feel happy and relaxed.(这样我们就会感到快乐和放松。)”可知，空格处的句子应该说到“什么事让我们感到快乐和放松”，所以F选项“The playful nature helps bring out the inner child and promotes creativity and joy.（顽皮的天性有助于激发内心的童心，促进创造力和快乐。）”填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选F.
【20题详解】
根据下文“Your body loves movement. But we must find a few moments of stillness throughout our day. (你的身体喜欢运动。但我们必须在一天中找到一些安静的时刻。)”和But说明前后是转折关系。说明身体热爱运动，每项活动都包含着身体的运动。但是也需要安静的时刻。所以，E选项“Every activity involves some sort of movement.（每一项活动都涉及到某种运动。）”填入空格处，符号语境。故选E.

47. 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。
I was fifteen when my world took a hopeless turn for the worst. My mom was diagnosed with cancer again. She had undergone surgery and beaten the cancer. Then the cancer came back. However, there was more to worry about than the disease that my mom was battling. My dad had left us years before. Besides, because of the mounting medical bills she was paying for her previous cancer, we were on the edge of financial ruin. I was too young to get a job.
That winter was the worst. We didn’t have money to pay for electricity. Our neighbor, Sophia, allowed us to use her electricity so that we could have one lamp on in our home. The gas stove in the living room was the only heat in our house. My mom slept in her cold room, with as many blankets as we could pile on her.
Thanksgiving Day came. I searched our cupboards for food and there wasn’t much. I started slamming doors as I looked through the cabinets for a can of food we might have missed. The more I searched, the angrier I became. The noise must have woken my mom, because she came to the kitchen wrapped in a blanket. She looked worried at me and asked, “Baby, what’s wrong,” I retorted, “I’m hungry. I’m freezing to death in our own house,” I wasn’t angry at her. I was angry at our situation.
She opened her arms toward me and said, “Come here. Right now things are hard, but hope is always there. Whatever difficulties we meet, we should be strong. All you have to do is have faith. Why not believe we can be better by using our own hands ”

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Just as I wondered what to do to spend the night, Sophia knocked at our door.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I was deeply ashamed of what I had done and said. The anger that had built up inside me had caused me to lash out at my mom, the one person who had always been there for me. As tears welled up in my eyes, I ran into her open arms. She held me tightly. In that moment, I realized the strength and resilience my mom possessed. Despite her own battles with cancer and our dire financial situation, she remained optimistic and hopeful. Her unwavering faith ignited a spark within me, filling me with a newfound determination to overcome our circumstances.
Just as I wondered what to do to spend the night, Sophia knocked at our door. She had brought us a warm meal and some blankets. Seeing her kind and caring gesture, I was reminded that there were people who cared about us, people willing to help in whatever way they could. It was a small act of kindness, but it meant the world to us. Over the next few years, I took odd jobs around the neighborhood, doing whatever I could to contribute to our finances. My mom used her creative talent to make handmade crafts, which we sold at local markets. Slowly but surely, our situation began to improve. The sense of despair that once filled our home was replaced with hope.

Scientists find when tiny plastics end up in farm fields, the pollution can impair plant growth. But two young researchers now report that combining fungi (真菌) with certain farm wastes can partially overcome that problem. May Shin, 20, and Jiwon Choi, 18, presented their discovery at the 2023 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF).
The pair met in a research design class at the Fryeburg Academy, a high school in Maine. May had wanted to explore how microplastics might affect the ecosystem. Jiwon was fascinated by plants and fungi. The young scientists shared their interests, May says, to test how long-lived plastics might affect farm crops—and how to limit any harm.
May and Jiwon planted more than 2,000 scallion (韭葱) seeds in pots of soil. Half the seeds got soil polluted with microplastics. The rest grew in plastic-free soil. The plants assigned to each soil were further divided into four groups. The young scientists added certain microscopic fungi to the soil in one group. Another group had a top layer of farm wastes. A third group got both treatments. The last group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (萌芽) in each group and measured the plants’ height once each week.
About twice as many scallions sprouted in clean soil compared to that containing plastic bits. But among plants surviving in the polluted soil, a combination of microscopic fungi and farm wastes helped them out. Those getting both treatments grew 5.4 centimeters(about 2 inches)per week. That was faster than either of the treatments alone or those getting none. It was slower, however, than scallions planted in clean soil. They grew 7.2 centimeters(2.8 inches)per week.
In the future, the two young scientists hope to continue testing microscopic fungi and farm wastes under other conditions. Their goal is to see how other factors might change the plants’ response to the soil treatments.
4. What can we learn about May and Jiwon from the first two paragraphs
A. They met in a college.
B. They grow fungi at home.
C. They like to collect farm wastes.
D. They worked together harmoniously.
5. Why did the writer give detailed description to the test in paragraph 3
A. To examine the different plants.
B. To build a scientific model.
C. To show the reliability of the test.
D. To arouse the readers’ interest.
6. What can be found from the result of the test
A. Farm wastes help sprout most in polluted soil.
B. Microscopic fungi helps sprout most in polluted soil.
C. Scallions sprout better in clean soil than in polluted soil.
D. Plants grow better in polluted soil with wastes than in clean soil.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The two scientists are determined.
B. There are many ways to treat soils.
C. Farm wastes will be more valuable.
D. Microscopic fungi will be widely used.
C
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort
Art can connect culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover (交迭) between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social relationships are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
8. As for art products, which would the author agree with
A. Most people buy them for collection.
B. Their prices may climb up as time passes.
C. They differ from many other commercial products.
D. They have cultural values rather than commercial values.
9. Kids who engage with the arts tend to ________.
A. be more responsible adults when they grow up
B. be more confident in exhibiting their learning skills
C. have more opportunities to do creative jobs in the future
D. have better learning performance and emotional development
10. What can we learn from this passage
A. Art products are more expensive.
B. The arts can make people feel lonelier.
C. Artistic activities can improve people’s health.
D. The arts can help people become more beautiful.
11. What is the best title for this passage
A. Art Is Beneficial for Patients B. Art Wastes Time and Effort
C. Art Can Prevent Heart Disease D. Art Is Important to Humankind
D
I turned 8 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities Did I get high Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was trilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of siting in a classroom taking another exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
12. Why did the author skip school on that day
A. Because she’s fascinated by a novel. B. Because it’s a biting cold winter morning.
C. Because her parents left home early. D. Because she’s anxious to take the exam.
13. What did the author think is the source of true joy
A. Reading a fiction by the fire. B. Travelling with a bunch of expatriates.
C. Being occupied by one’s passion. D. Breaking the rules and regulations.
14. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph
A. Mending. B. Destroying. C. Entering. D. Blocking.
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. The author was tired of his roles in the real-life.
B. Becoming a writer is the author’s childhood dream.
C. The author skipped school when he was 8 years old.
D. Writing has a horrible effect on the author’s life now.

47. 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。
I was fifteen when my world took a hopeless turn for the worst. My mom was diagnosed with cancer again. She had undergone surgery and beaten the cancer. Then the cancer came back. However, there was more to worry about than the disease that my mom was battling. My dad had left us years before. Besides, because of the mounting medical bills she was paying for her previous cancer, we were on the edge of financial ruin. I was too young to get a job.
That winter was the worst. We didn’t have money to pay for electricity. Our neighbor, Sophia, allowed us to use her electricity so that we could have one lamp on in our home. The gas stove in the living room was the only heat in our house. My mom slept in her cold room, with as many blankets as we could pile on her.
Thanksgiving Day came. I searched our cupboards for food and there wasn’t much. I started slamming doors as I looked through the cabinets for a can of food we might have missed. The more I searched, the angrier I became. The noise must have woken my mom, because she came to the kitchen wrapped in a blanket. She looked worried at me and asked, “Baby, what’s wrong,” I retorted, “I’m hungry. I’m freezing to death in our own house,” I wasn’t angry at her. I was angry at our situation.
She opened her arms toward me and said, “Come here. Right now things are hard, but hope is always there. Whatever difficulties we meet, we should be strong. All you have to do is have faith. Why not believe we can be better by using our own hands ”
