第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Top Coffee-producing Countries
Brazil
Back in the 18th century, Brazil started growing coffee. Now, around 300,000 coffee farmers in Brazil produce about 40% of the world’s coffee. Arabica (阿拉比卡咖啡) takes up 70% of the coffee beans grown in the country. In Brazil, 3% of export income is from coffee beans. Brazilians are wild about drinking their coffee and consume it all day long.
Vietnam
Coffee found its way to Vietnam in the 1800s. Now coffee industry employs almost 3 million people. Most of Vietnam’s coffee production is the less appreciated Robusta (罗布斯塔咖啡) variety. Because of that, most coffee beans grown in Vietnam are for instant coffee. Despite coffee’s popularity as an export crop, the Vietnamese still prefer tea. They also make a famous Cappuccino (卡布奇诺咖啡) not found elsewhere—famous because it gets a dose of raw egg if that’s to your liking.
Colombia
Coffee was introduced into Colombia in the early 1700s. In Colombia, about 2.3 million acres of land are planted with coffee. Coffee is the most important agricultural export. There are around 555,000 coffee growers in Colombia. The majority of Colombian coffee plantations are owned by families. Colombians typically start their morning with a tinto. It’s a small cup of black coffee that’s sweetened with sugar. They may add cinnamon or other spices to jazz it up.
Indonesia
Indonesia has a long coffee history that goes back to the 1600s, which has its share of ups and downs. In the late 19th century, the terrible coffee rust disease caused death to many of the high-quality coffee plants. To prevent this from happening again, Indonesia replanted with the disease-resistant Robusta coffee. Arabica beans still play a part in the Indonesian coffee market, representing about 25% of coffee beans grown there.
21.Which of the four countries started growing coffee earliest
A.Brazil. B.Vietnam. C.Colombia. D.Indonesia.
22.What is special about Vietnam
A.A unique kind of coffee drink is made there.
B.High-quality coffee beans are produced there.
C.Coffee was produced for the home market there.
D.Coffee planting met with problems in the 1990s there.
23.What do Brazil and Colombia have in common
A.Coffee exports are growing in both countries.
B.They both have a coffee-loving population.
C.They share the same number of coffee growers.
D.Coffee farms are owned by families in both countries.

I joined the coast guard because I wanted to help people. Hovercraft (气垫船) are rare and special. They’ve been discontinued in most commercial operation, because they are so expensive to make, but when it comes to search and rescue, they’re priceless.
From far away, a hovercraft looks like a normal boat. But if you look under its skirt, the craft is not touching the water — it floats on a cushion of air. That cushion allows us to travel over everything from water to muddy land — and even break through ice. We do all of that as a 70-tonne machine, going a maximum of nearly 120 kilometers per hour. These features allow us to rescue a large number of people quickly get onto land, and get someone into an ambulance far easier than with any other device I can think of.
The advantages of hovercraft can also make them difficult to handle. We’ve got a massive vehicle moving fast, sometimes in a thick fog bank up a narrow river. During assignments on other coast guard ships, I had 20 minutes to make alterations to avoid a crash. In a hovercraft, I have 10 seconds. You have to have enough situational awareness to make the right decision every time.
People call us for all sorts of problems: missing divers, on-board fires, or even when they’ve run out of fuel or had a mechanical breakdown. A container ship could burst into flames. We have a strong network here at the base to help everyone through difficult situations like that. Thankfully, we have captains who train us in a safe environment, but you don’t ever get fully comfortable. Anything can throw the hovercraft off — maybe your lift settings are off a little, or the wind blows with a bit of extra weight. After several years operating a hovercraft, I’m still learning. Every one of the captains here agrees: you can drive this thing for 20 years and still be surprised.
24.What makes hovercraft unsuitable for commercial use
A.Their safety risks. B.Their poor durability.
C.Their low efficiency. D.Their production costs.
25.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.How a hovercraft works. B.What comprises a hovercraft.
C.What distinguishes a hovercraft. D.How a hovercraft helps victims.
26.What challenge do hovercraft pose to the pilot
A.They have to make faster responses.
B.They often face mechanical breakdowns.
C.They need more people for decision making.
D.They must consider the environmental concerns.
27.What does the author think of operating a hovercraft
A.Dull. B.Demanding. C.Enjoyable. D.Effortless.
C
Curiosity — the desire to know, to discover, to learn. Inspired by curiosity, humans are found everywhere on our planet, and beyond it in space. Yet according to human behaviourist and author of Curious, Ian Leslie, although we are all born curious, not all of us bring this into adulthood, and we can lose out as a result.
As Leslie explains, curiosity shapes us from the start. By trying new things, we build knowledge, and want to know more. “We are born aware that we don’t know stuff — we want to experience and discover.” However, the contrast between childhood and adulthood is clear. “We ask 40,000 questions a year between the ages of two and five,” says Leslie — around 110 each day; adults, in comparison, ask just 20.
As we get older, we may feel hesitant about asking questions, believing this reveals gaps in our knowledge. We can become scared to share unconventional ideas for fear of criticism or misunderstanding. We can also be a victim of our success, as Leslie explains. “Once you’ve worked out how to do your job, then you don’t feel curious anymore. The need to learn goes away — in a way, curiosity has done its job. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cultivate it.”
Leslie’s tips for cultivating curiosity begin with spending time with the experts — children. “Talk to your kids, and try to answer those weird, difficult questions they have — like ‘What is air ’ This makes you think about things you’ve taken for granted — it reawakens your curiosity in what’s around us and how we perceive the world.”
So does finding what Leslie calls an ‘informal mentor’, through work or other circles, who is happy to share their expertise, from a skill, technology, to a field of learning. “Try to think of people the way children think of adults — as sources of secret knowledge, a great store of learning you can tap into,” says Leslie.
Leslie also suggests creating a ‘spark file’ — a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting thoughts. “Fill it with facts you’ve come across, sentences you like, insights that strike you. Let it be random. And let it build. Over time you’ll build up a rich source of inspiration, and you’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates to this…’ And suddenly your mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways of thinking.”
28.According to Leslie, what happens as we get older
A.We gradually lose our natural curiosity.
B.We are less aware of our knowledge gaps.
C.We are unwilling to let others benefit from our ideas.
D.We may think asking questions makes people foolish.
29.Which of the following sayings might Leslie agree with
A.A day’s planning is best done at daybreak.
B.In the eyes of a lover, Xi Shi will appear.
C.A master can lead you to the door, but the rest is up to you.
D.When three people walk together, one can surely be my teacher.
30.Which of the following is a characteristic of a ‘spark file’
A.It is carefully organized. B.It can help people connect ideas.
C.It only contains complete sentences. D.It can help people improve their memory.
31.What is the writer’s aim in this passage
A.To prove Ian Leslie’s arguments. B.To summarize Ian Leslie’s viewpoint.
C.To question Ian Leslie’s conclusions. D.To introduce Ian Leslie’s achievements.
D
For the history of life on Earth, organisms have relied on the light of the sun, moon, and stars to find their way and schedule their lives. While the beginning of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans, it has caused problems in the natural world. Among the impacts of artificial light at night(ALAN), light pollution lures migrating birds to cities with shocking consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtle babies to amble(缓行)away from the water instead of towards it.
Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet: Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals(珊瑚)into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.
Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning(产卵)observations, researchers were able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlit corals. “That shift may reduce the survival and fertilization success of gametes(配子)and genetic connectivity between nearby lit and unlit coral systems,” they explain.
“Corals are among the most biodiverse, economically important, and threatened ecosystems on the planet,” write the authors of the study.
“Climate change has led to mass bleaching(褪色)events. Habitat destruction, fisheries, and pollution have reduced corals substantially since the 1950s,” they write, adding, “The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”
If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing, we could perhaps look to delay the switching-on of night-time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise when coral reproduction remains undisturbed.
32.Why is the first paragraph written
A.To present the topic of the text. B.To advocate energy conservation.
C.To explain a natural phenomenon. D.To provide background information.
33.What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Possible. B.Appropriate. C.Flexible. D.Sensitive.
34.What is the researchers’ major concern over corals
A.Extinction. B.Losing value.
C.Terrible diseases. D.Exposure to moonlight.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Creatures Rely on Natural Lights to Schedule Their Life
B.Night-time Lighting Shortens Natural Dark Period
C.Coastal Lights Trick Corals into Early Spawning
D.Light Pollution Leads to Serious Consequences
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
We’re growing more used to chatting to our computers, phones and smart speakers through voice assistants. Out of these assistants, Siri is the most well-known spoken web. Blind people have been using text-to-speech assistant for decades. 36
Some think voice could soon take over from clicking as the main way to interact online. They believe online interaction would soon depend mainly on voice. 37
Building the spoken web—web-to-voice and voice-to-web—is by no means an easy task. For software to answer simple questions about the weather and play music for us is easy. 38 Artificial intelligence isn’t smart enough yet. Even turning your voice into text is one of the hardest problems to solve. There are as many ways to pronounce things as there are people on the planet.
Using voice interaction feels far closer than surfing the net the old-fashioned way. 39 But if something speaks, it must also listen. Our phones are always near us and they are constantly collecting their personal information. This has already raised privacy concerns. People worry assistants will one day be used to deliver advertising directly to us.
40 In environments when one’s hands are occupied, such as while driving or cooking, the spoken web is helpful. Think about when you are cooking, it is natural to talk. And speech obviously makes sense when you are driving. On the other hand, in a quiet library, using voice commands to ask a question may not be as suitable as typing, as it could disturb others. The effectiveness of using voice depends on the specific surroundings.
A.Spoken web requires more personality to become popular.
B.But what are the challenges of moving to ”the spoken web“
C.It is also possible to search for different information you need.
D.The benefits of using voice obviously depend on the context.
E.The informal tone of the assistant helps create an emotional attachment.
F.But to have a conversation with users on diverse topics is a long way off.
G.People who can’t read can also obtain information using the spoken web.

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。
Shoveling(铲) the snow had always been the best part about winter. Not that I thought it was fun, but my dad’s reaction to a clean driveway kept me going. He hated shoveling snow more than anything. So, I took it upon myself at eight years old to do it for him. Every time I saw snow fall from the sky, I knew the universe was ready to put me to work.
I would run and put on my jacket, snow boots to prepare myself for the work ahead. But every single time, before I went outside, I would stop by my older sister’s room to see if she wanted to help me. I knew she would say no, but I always asked anyway.
One day there was a lot of snow, and there was no way I would be able to clean it all up myself. It was getting dark, and I hated the thought of my dad having to shovel the snow after a long day of work. So I did the routine and knocked on my sister’s door. As I expected, she gave me the same old “no”. Annoyed, I asked again. Without saying anything further, she got up, pushed me out of the room and slammed (平地关上) the door in my face.
I stood there silently for a second. Then, I turned around, went out of the house, and set out in the cold to tackle the enemy that lay in my driveway. But I couldn’t calm down. I was really angry that she would leave me to battle this alone. All I wanted was some help. The more I remembered every “no” she had ever said to me, the angrier I became.
I fought tirelessly, my short arms swinging from side to side while the wind cut against my cheeks. After one long hour, I was not even halfway done. Looking at the victorious snow, I thought of Dad’s disappointment.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个咖啡产国的情况。
21.细节理解题。根据第一段“Back in the 18th century, Brazil started growing coffee. (早在18世纪,巴西就开始种植咖啡。)”;第二段“Coffee found its way to Vietnam in the 1800s. (咖啡在19世纪进入越南。)”;第三段“Coffee was introduced into Colombia in the early 1700s. (咖啡在18世纪早期被引入哥伦比亚)”以及最后一段“Indonesia has a long coffee history that goes back to the 1600s, which has its share of ups and downs. (印尼有着悠久的咖啡历史,可以追溯到17世纪,其间有起有落。)”可知,Indonesia是种植咖啡最早的。故选D。
22.细节理解题。根据第二段“They also make a famous Cappuccino (卡布奇诺咖啡) not found elsewhere—famous because it gets a dose of raw egg if that’s to your liking. (他们还制作了一款在其他地方找不到的著名的卡布奇诺——出名是因为如果你喜欢的话,它会加一些生鸡蛋。)”可知,越南的特别之处在于那里生产一种独特的咖啡饮料。故选A。
23.细节理解题。根据第一段“Brazilians are wild about drinking their coffee and consume it all day long. (巴西人喜欢喝咖啡,整天都在喝。)”和第三段中“Colombians typically start their morning with a tinto. It’s a small cup of black coffee that’s sweetened with sugar. (哥伦比亚人通常以一杯tinto开始他们的早晨。它是一小杯加糖的黑咖啡。)”可知,巴西和哥伦比亚的共同之处是都有喜欢喝咖啡的人。故选B。
【答案】24.D 25.C 26.A 27.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍作者在海岸警卫队使用气垫船的体验。
24.细节理解题。由文章第一段“They’ve been discontinued in most commercial operation, because they are so expensive to make, but when it comes to search and rescue, they’re priceless.(它们在大多数商业运营中都已停产,因为它们的制造成本太高,但在搜救方面,它们是无价的。)”可知,气垫船的生产成本使气垫船不适合商业使用。故选D项。
25.主旨大意题。由文章第二段“From far away, a hovercraft looks like a normal boat. But if you look under its skirt, the craft is not touching the water — it floats on a cushion of air. That cushion allows us to travel over everything from water to muddy land — and even break through ice. We do all of that as a 70-tonne machine, going a maximum of nearly 120 kilometers per hour.(从远处看,气垫船就像一艘普通的船。但如果你从它的裙子下面看,这艘船并没有碰到水——它漂浮在气垫上。这种缓冲垫可以让我们穿越从水到泥泞的土地的一切,甚至可以破冰。我们完成所有这些工作正如一台70吨重的机器那样,最高时速接近120公里。)”以及后文可知,本段主要介绍气垫船的与众不同之处。故选C项。
26.推理判断题。由文章第三段“During assignments on other coast guard ships, I had 20 minutes to make alterations to avoid a crash. In a hovercraft, I have 10 seconds. You have to have enough situational awareness to make the right decision every time.(在其它海岸警卫队船只上执行任务时,我有20分钟的时间进行改变航线,以避免发生撞击事故。在气垫船上,我有10秒的时间。你必须有足够的情境意识,才能每次都做出正确的决定。)”可知,气垫船驾驶员必须做出更快的反应。故选A项。
27.推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Anything can throw the hovercraft off — maybe your lift settings are off a little, or the wind blows with a bit of extra weight. After several years operating a hovercraft, I’m still learning. Every one of the captains here agrees: you can drive this thing for 20 years and still be surprised.(任何事情都可能使气垫船偏离——也许你的升力设置有点偏离,或者风吹得有点重。在操作气垫船几年后,我仍在学习。这里的每一位队长都同意:你可以驾驶这辆车20年,但仍然会感到惊讶。)”可知,作者认为操作气垫船是要求很高的。故选B项。
【答案】28.A 29.D 30.B 31.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了人类行为学家Ian Leslie关于好奇心的观点及如何培养好奇心的研究。
28.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As we get older, we may feel hesitant about asking questions, believing this reveals gaps in our knowledge. We can become scared to share unconventional ideas for fear of criticism or misunderstanding. We can also be a victim of our success, as Leslie explains. “Once you’ve worked out how to do your job, then you don’t feel curious anymore. The need to learn goes away — in a way, curiosity has done its job. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cultivate it.”( 随着年龄的增长,我们可能会对提问感到犹豫,认为这暴露了我们知识上的差距。我们可能会因为害怕批评或误解而变得害怕分享非传统的想法。正如莱斯利解释的那样,我们也可能成为成功的受害者。“一旦你弄清楚了如何做你的工作,你就不会再感到好奇了。学习的需要消失了——在某种程度上,好奇心已经完成了它的工作。但这并不意味着你不应该培养它。”)”可推知,Leslie认为,随着年龄的增长我们可能会逐渐失去天生的好奇心。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据第四段内容,结合本段中“Leslie’s tips for cultivating curiosity begin with spending time with the experts — children.( Leslie培养好奇心的建议是从花时间和专家——孩子们——在一起开始的)”及“This makes you think about things you’ve taken for granted — it reawakens your curiosity in what’s around us and how we perceive the world.(这会让你思考你认为理所当然的事情——它会重新唤醒你对我们周围的事物以及我们如何看待世界的好奇心)”可知,Leslie建议和孩子们在一起来培养好奇心,由此可推知他会同意D项观点“三人行,必有我师”。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段首句“Leslie also suggests creating a ‘spark file’ — a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting thoughts.(Leslie还建议创建一个‘火花文件’——一个可以收集有趣想法的电子或实体笔记本)”及“Over time you’ll build up a rich source of inspiration, and you’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates to this…’(随着时间的推移,你会建立一个丰富的灵感来源,你会想,‘哦,这很有趣,这和这个有关……’)”可知,“火花文件”可以帮助人们把想法联系起来。故选B。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了海滨城市的照明对珊瑚的影响。这些照明产生的光会使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚产卵早,从而对其产生不利影响。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段内容“For the history of life on Earth, organisms have relied on the light of the sun, moon, and stars to find their way and schedule their lives. While the beginning of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans, it has caused problems in the natural world. Among the impacts of artificial light at night(ALAN), light pollution lures migrating birds to cities with shocking consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtle babies to amble(缓行)away from the water instead of towards it.(在地球上生命的历史中,生物一直依靠太阳、月亮和星星的光来找到自己的路,安排自己的生活。虽然19世纪末开始的电灯可能给人类带来了好处,但它也给自然界带来了问题。在夜间人造光(ALAN)的影响中,光污染将候鸟吸引到城市,带来令人震惊的后果,导致昆虫数量惊人的下降,并使海龟宝宝远离水而不是靠近水。)”可知,文章第一段介绍了始于 19 世末的人造光源对自然产生的不好的影响,结合第二段“Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet: Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals(珊瑚)into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.(现在,普利茅斯大学的一项新研究增加了另一个令人失望的发现,即ALAN如何影响与我们共享地球的生物:沿海城市的光污染会诱使珊瑚在正常繁殖的最佳时间之外繁殖。)”讲述文章主题是阐述人造光对于珊瑚的危害可推断,第一段的目的是提出提供了背景信息。故选D。
33.词句猜测题。分析句子可知,后面的定语从句“when they would normally reproduce(当它们正常繁殖的时候)”修饰the optimum time可知“the optimum times”指的是“珊瑚正常的繁殖时间”,所以画线词与appropriate“合适的,恰当的”。故选B。
34.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.( 预计珊瑚将在未来100年内完全消失。)”可知,研究人员最大的担心是珊瑚的灭绝。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第二段“Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet: Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals(珊瑚)into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.(现在,普利茅斯大学的一项新研究增加了另一个令人失望的发现,即ALAN如何影响与我们共享地球的生物:沿海城市的光污染会诱使珊瑚在正常繁殖的最佳时间之外繁殖。)”可知,本文主要介绍了海滨城市的照明对珊瑚的影响。这些照明产生的光会使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚产卵早,从而对其产生不利影响,因此 C 项“海岸灯光诱使珊瑚提早产卵”为合适的标题。故选C。
七选五【答案】36.G 37.B 38.F 39.E 40.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语音网络的流行情况以及存在的挑战。
36.根据上文“We’re growing more used to chatting to our computers, phones and smart speakers through voice assistants. Out of these assistants, Siri is the most well-known spoken web. Blind people have been using text-to-speech assistant for decades.(我们越来越习惯于通过语音助手与电脑、手机和智能音箱聊天。在这些助手中,Siri是最知名的语音网络。几十年来,盲人一直在使用文本转语音助手)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文,继续举例说明语音助手在生活中的应用情况。故G选项“不能阅读的人也可以通过语音网络获取信息”符合语境,故选G。
37.根据上文“Some think voice could soon take over from clicking as the main way to interact online. They believe online interaction would soon depend mainly on voice.(一些人认为,语音很快就会取代点击,成为在线互动的主要方式。他们认为,在线互动很快将主要依靠语音)”以及下一段“Building the spoken web—web-to-voice and voice-to-web—is by no means an easy task.(建立语音网络——网络到语音和语音到网络绝不是一件容易的事)”可知,后文提到了建立语音网络绝不是一件容易的事,可知本句与上文构成转折,指出语音网络存在挑战。故B选项“但是转向“语音网络”的挑战是什么?”符合语境,故选B。
38.根据上文“Building the spoken web—web-to-voice and voice-to-web—is by no means an easy task. For software to answer simple questions about the weather and play music for us is easy.(建立语音网络——网络到语音和语音到网络绝不是一件容易的事。对于软件来说,回答关于天气的简单问题和为我们播放音乐是很容易的)”以及后文“Artificial intelligence isn’t smart enough yet. Even turning your voice into text is one of the hardest problems to solve. There are as many ways to pronounce things as there are people on the planet.(人工智能还不够聪明。甚至把你的声音转换成文字也是最难解决的问题之一。地球上有多少人,就有多少种发音方法)”可知,上文提到了运用语音网络询问关于天气的简单问题,后文则提到了人工智能还不够聪明,可知本句与上文构成转折关系,指出存在的缺点。故F选项“但是与用户就不同的话题进行对话还有很长的路要走”符合语境,故选F。
39.根据上文“Using voice interaction feels far closer than surfing the net the old-fashioned way.(使用语音交互的感觉比老式的上网方式要亲近得多)”以及后文“But if something speaks, it must also listen. Our phones are always near us and they are constantly collecting their personal information. This has already raised privacy concerns. People worry assistants will one day be used to deliver advertising directly to us.(但如果有东西说话,它也必须倾听。我们的手机总是在我们身边,它们不断地收集我们的个人信息。这已经引起了人们对隐私的担忧。人们担心助理有一天会被用来直接向我们发送广告)”可知,本句承接上文,说明语音互动可以带来的亲密感,故E选项“助手的非正式语气有助于建立情感依恋”符合语境,故选E。
40.根据后文“In environments when one’s hands are occupied, such as while driving or cooking, the spoken web is helpful. Think about when you are cooking, it is natural to talk. And speech obviously makes sense when you are driving. On the other hand, in a quiet library, using voice commands to ask a question may not be as suitable as typing, as it could disturb others. The effectiveness of using voice depends on the specific surroundings.(在双手被占用的环境中,比如开车或做饭时,语音网络很有帮助。想想当你做饭的时候,说话是很自然的。当你开车的时候,说话显然是有意义的。另一方面,在安静的图书馆里,使用语音命令提问可能不如打字那么合适,因为它可能会打扰别人。使用声音的有效性取决于特定的环境)”可知,后文提到了使用语音的不同环境,有的环境里使用语音很方便,而有的环境会打扰别人,说明使用语音取决于环境。故D选项“使用语音的好处显然取决于环境”符合语境,故选D。

Feeling bitter and desperate, I couldn’t stop my tears. My inner anger was like a growing monster, uncontrollably driving me to the edge of madness. Before I realized it, I was sobbing in my sister’s room, with bullets of words firing through my mouth, expressing my long-buried dissatisfaction towards her absence from my snow shoveling experiences. The house seemed to be holding its breath when I stopped my accusation, still weeping. “Please don’t cry. Every teardrop of yours is a reminder of how selfish I was. I’m sorry. Would you give me another chance to go shoveling with you ”, said my sister with gentleness and sincerity in her voice.
My sister and I went out. More than half of the driveway was still blanketed in white but I wasn’t alone in this battle any more. Every shovel of snow was a witness to the energy and excitement in me. By the time we finished, my back was aching, muscles sore, and body exhausted. However, deep inside me was a brother, who was so overcome with happiness that he felt on top of the world. That was the beauty of companionship. And from the bright smile blooming on my sister’s face, I could tell that she felt the same. Arm in arm, we walked inside as darkness fell, waiting for father to come home.
