Our ship sailed on the sea into the Earth’s night. Here, there was no visible light from the Sun or the Earth Engines. But as we looked up, we children saw the starry sky for the first time in our lives. How breathtakingly beautiful it was!
Ms Xing put an arm around us while pointing at the sky with her other hand. “Look, children! That is Proxima Centauri (比邻星), our new home!” With these words, tears ran slowly down her face. Before long, we were all in tears—even the captain and crew. We all looked in the direction that Ms Xing was pointing. There was only one point of light among the twinkling stars that shined constantly: Proxima Centauri—the only source of hope and comfort for a hundred future generations. “Whatever risks we might take, we will finally make it there!” said the captain, in an assured voice.
On our way back from the sea, we saw the first sign that Earth had begun its journey. In the night sky, a huge comet had appeared. It was the Moon, abandoned by humankind. Lunar Engines had been installed to the Moon to force it out of its orbit so that a disastrous crash could be avoided as the Earth sped up and moved away. As it progressed, the gravitational tide of the Moon caused the ocean to swell, creating gigantic waves. We quickly got off the ship to our destination in the Southern Hemisphere. The next few days were the countdown to our departure.
Finally came the big day! As Earth Engines was set at a full power, we got immediately blinded by the bright light from it. This acceleration created massive tsunamis hundreds of meters high that crashed onto the coasts of every continent. Burning hot hurricanes roared through the boiling waves, screaming with wild fury and pulling up almost every tree on Earth.
Our Earth, with its blue tail cutting through the darkness of space, had set out on its long journey, and with it went all of humankind.
4. Why did we all cry when looking up into the sky
A. Because we had to abandon the Earth.
B. Because we were fascinated by the stars.
C. Because we saw our new settlement.
D. Because we felt lonely in the universe.
5. What was the function of the Lunar Engines
A. To protect the Earth from a deadly impact.
B. To make sure the Moon runs in its orbit.
C. To keep the moon at the same speed as the Earth.
D. To shelter humans from the tide of the Moon.
6. Which of the following words can best describe the journey
A. Smooth and steady. B. Endless and hopeless.
C. Exciting and entertaining. D. Ambitious and adventurous.
7. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A personal diary. B. A science fiction.
C. A travel magazine. D. An academic article.
C
In the summer of 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced a severe heatwave that caused widespread panic and destruction. Temperatures reached record levels, including 114℉ in Portland.
A heatwave, born over the Pacific, drifted inland and grew in intensity, creating a heat dome. Ice was the first victim, and as snowpacks melted, glaciers released fast flowing muddy water that flooded towns. Salmon, sensing the water temperature change, began migrating early. But then they struggled to breathe as the rivers warmed. Vegetation was next—unable to escape the heat, it struggled to hold water. Bighorn sheep moved to higher ground, doves panted like dogs, baby eagles jumped to their deaths in an attempt to fly to escape overheating with their siblings.
In 72 hours, the official number of human deaths was 1,000—but the actual number is likely higher, especially among the elderly, poor, and medically vulnerable. The town of Lytton, British Columbia was burned down when temperatures there hit 121℉. Over a billion sea creatures met their deaths over the three days.
Such a heatwave in the Pacific Northwest had been thought to be as likely as snow in the Sahara. But then it happened. Right now, scientists can’t predict where or when such heat will appear next, but they do know that occurrences such as this are a direct result of human activities. As fossil-fuel burning increases levels of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, the planet warms. Heat is the prime mover of climate chaos, melting ice, . drying soil, , and even reviving ancient bacteria from thawed permafrost (永冻土解冻).
Humans might be able to engineer their way out of anything—cities like Los Angeles and Paris are already working to deflect (使偏斜) sunlight and have more shade trees. But there are limits to adaptation for Earth’s population of nearly 8 billion. Parts of the Middle East and South Asia are already too hot for humans in summer.
8. How is the impact of the heatwave presented in Paragraph 2
A. By telling a story. B. By listing examples.
C. By giving a definition. D. By making comparisons.
9. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Protected. B. Disturbed. C. Healthy. D. Weak.
10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. People considered the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest as common.
B. Such heat will certainly appear again as a result of human activities.
C. Los Angeles and Paris have already helped themselves out of heatwaves.
D. The earth’s adaptability to heatwaves has limits with such a large population.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Temperatures Reaching Record High B. Human Activities Causing a Heatwave
C. A Heatwave Hitting the Pacific Northwest D. Panic and Destruction Caused by a Heatwave
D
If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations—You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.
Sounds alarming As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.
Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”
So, how to beat procrastination Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.
12. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept.
C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison.
13. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with
A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.
B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.
C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.
D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.
14. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination
A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly.
C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first.
15. What is the tone of this text
A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Choosing artwork can feel like an exhausting task if you have no idea where to start and you can end up staring at a blank wall waiting for that enlightening moment. From traditional landscapes to family photos, the options are endless. ____16____
Look for inspiration in interiors magazines, as well as online, and visit independent stores to figure out what styles appeal to you. There are no set rules when it comes to artwork preferences. ____17____ Then, make space for it on your walls.
Depending on your budget, there are different places you can begin your search for artwork. ____18____ The Affordable Art Fair, for example, features work by a wide range of artists, with pieces that won’t cost the earth. If you prefer prints (which are often more affordable in comparison), take a look at high street shops. Alternatively, many online ones are offering printable designs that you download and print yourself at home.
____19____ Typographic prints will inject the space with a sense of fun and a cool, contemporary feel. Black and white photography, on the other hand, can stimulate a more depressing atmosphere. The colours used in the piece will also be something to consider—greens and blues have comforting properties so are mild for a bedroom. Bolder and brighter tones, on the contrary, suit dynamic areas better.
Once you’ve chosen your artwork, it’s time to think about how best to showcase it around your home. Gallery walls are a popular way if you want to create a central point. ____20____ By the way, you can add vases and potted plants to create another dimension.
A. So, how to choose artwork for your home
B. Don’t be afraid of mixing together different styles.
C. Picture ledges, or small shelves, are also an ideal choice.
D. Trust your feeling if something makes you stop, smile or think.
E. Art fairs are a great place to dive in, even if just for inspiration.
F. Apart from the style of your chosen artwork, the size of it also needs to be considered.
G The type of artwork you choose can set the tone of a room and greatly impact the mood.

I ____24____ my family riding the highest roller coaster then at an amusement park one summer. I was secretly terrified of ____25____. Not wanting to be the only one to stay behind, I ____26____ to myself, you can do this, you can do this, trying to ____27____ my nerves.

Soon they showed up. No one looked very thrilled about what they had just experienced. I began to feel ____31____ relieved when I looked up and ____32____ Dad’s inquiring eyes. “I was just too chicken. Sorry.” I murmured.

It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a mission: to find my lost cat, Baby-Girl. It had been six months since she’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all.
That summer, my sweet kitty had disappeared from my parents’ house while I was away from home. My dad and I spent that entire visit searching for her. Dad was the family’s “realist”, which meant he spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “She’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her,” he said. I rolled my eyes. Dad always supported me, but he was so skeptical (怀疑的).
Though I couldn’t explain it, I knew I’d see Baby-Girl again. She would survive on her own. If any cat could do the impossible, it was my Baby-Girl. Deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited.
Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Baby-Girl’s cat carrier and loaded it into the car, then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she’d been found.
“Sharon, you have to be realistic,” my dad said as we headed to the garage. “She’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find her.”
“Don’t you believe in Christmas miracles ” I asked.
“Bah humbug (呸，胡扯),” he said, lightening the mood. It was his favorite Christmas saying and an inside joke in our family. He even had a shirt with the phrase printed across the front, which he wore every Christmas morning.
At the shelter, we walked through rows of cages. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes. None of them was my Baby-Girl. Then I noticed a room farther back. I pushed ahead. “Sweetheart, that’s where they keep the cats that just came in,” Dad said. “Your cat wouldn’t be in there.”
“It doesn’t hurt to look!” I said.
注意：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。
I stepped in the room and heard a familiar meow.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back home, Dad remained stubbornly skeptical.

Our ship sailed on the sea into the Earth’s night. Here, there was no visible light from the Sun or the Earth Engines. But as we looked up, we children saw the starry sky for the first time in our lives. How breathtakingly beautiful it was!
Ms Xing put an arm around us while pointing at the sky with her other hand. “Look, children! That is Proxima Centauri (比邻星), our new home!” With these words, tears ran slowly down her face. Before long, we were all in tears—even the captain and crew. We all looked in the direction that Ms Xing was pointing. There was only one point of light among the twinkling stars that shined constantly: Proxima Centauri—the only source of hope and comfort for a hundred future generations. “Whatever risks we might take, we will finally make it there!” said the captain, in an assured voice.
On our way back from the sea, we saw the first sign that Earth had begun its journey. In the night sky, a huge comet had appeared. It was the Moon, abandoned by humankind. Lunar Engines had been installed to the Moon to force it out of its orbit so that a disastrous crash could be avoided as the Earth sped up and moved away. As it progressed, the gravitational tide of the Moon caused the ocean to swell, creating gigantic waves. We quickly got off the ship to our destination in the Southern Hemisphere. The next few days were the countdown to our departure.
Finally came the big day! As Earth Engines was set at a full power, we got immediately blinded by the bright light from it. This acceleration created massive tsunamis hundreds of meters high that crashed onto the coasts of every continent. Burning hot hurricanes roared through the boiling waves, screaming with wild fury and pulling up almost every tree on Earth.
Our Earth, with its blue tail cutting through the darkness of space, had set out on its long journey, and with it went all of humankind.
4. Why did we all cry when looking up into the sky
A. Because we had to abandon the Earth.
B. Because we were fascinated by the stars.
C. Because we saw our new settlement.
D. Because we felt lonely in the universe.
5. What was the function of the Lunar Engines
A. To protect the Earth from a deadly impact.
B. To make sure the Moon runs in its orbit.
C. To keep the moon at the same speed as the Earth.
D. To shelter humans from the tide of the Moon.
6. Which of the following words can best describe the journey
A. Smooth and steady. B. Endless and hopeless.
C. Exciting and entertaining. D. Ambitious and adventurous.
7. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A personal diary. B. A science fiction.

We all looked in the direction that Ms Xing was pointing. There was only one point of light among the twinkling stars that shined constantly: Proxima Centauri—the only source of hope and comfort for a hundred future generations.(Xing女士用一只手搂着我们，另一只手指着天空。“看，孩子!那是比邻星，我们的新家!”说着这些话，眼泪慢慢地顺着她的脸流了下来。没过多久，我们都流下了眼泪——包括船长和船员。我们都朝邢老师指的方向看。在不断闪烁的星星中，只有一个亮点：比邻星——它是未来一百代人希望和安慰的唯一来源)”可知，因为“我们”看到了新的定居点，所以“我们”在仰望天空的时候都会哭泣。故选C项。

In the summer of 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced a severe heatwave that caused widespread panic and destruction. Temperatures reached record levels, including 114℉ in Portland.
A heatwave, born over the Pacific, drifted inland and grew in intensity, creating a heat dome. Ice was the first victim, and as snowpacks melted, glaciers released fast flowing muddy water that flooded towns. Salmon, sensing the water temperature change, began migrating early. But then they struggled to breathe as the rivers warmed. Vegetation was next—unable to escape the heat, it struggled to hold water. Bighorn sheep moved to higher ground, doves panted like dogs, baby eagles jumped to their deaths in an attempt to fly to escape overheating with their siblings.
In 72 hours, the official number of human deaths was 1,000—but the actual number is likely higher, especially among the elderly, poor, and medically vulnerable. The town of Lytton, British Columbia was burned down when temperatures there hit 121℉. Over a billion sea creatures met their deaths over the three days.
Such a heatwave in the Pacific Northwest had been thought to be as likely as snow in the Sahara. But then it happened. Right now, scientists can’t predict where or when such heat will appear next, but they do know that occurrences such as this are a direct result of human activities. As fossil-fuel burning increases levels of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, the planet warms. Heat is the prime mover of climate chaos, melting ice, . drying soil, , and even reviving ancient bacteria from thawed permafrost (永冻土解冻).
Humans might be able to engineer their way out of anything—cities like Los Angeles and Paris are already working to deflect (使偏斜) sunlight and have more shade trees. But there are limits to adaptation for Earth’s population of nearly 8 billion. Parts of the Middle East and South Asia are already too hot for humans in summer.
8. How is the impact of the heatwave presented in Paragraph 2
A. By telling a story. B. By listing examples.
C. By giving a definition. D. By making comparisons.
9. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Protected. B. Disturbed. C. Healthy. D. Weak.
10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. People considered the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest as common.
B. Such heat will certainly appear again as a result of human activities.
C. Los Angeles and Paris have already helped themselves out of heatwaves.
D. The earth’s adaptability to heatwaves has limits with such a large population.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Temperatures Reaching Record High B. Human Activities Causing a Heatwave
C. A Heatwave Hitting the Pacific Northwest D. Panic and Destruction Caused by a Heatwave
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了太平洋西北部遭受高温天气的情况，介绍了伤亡情况以及原因。

Ice was the first victim, and as snowpacks melted, glaciers released fast flowing muddy water that flooded towns. Salmon, sensing the water temperature change, began migrating early. But then they struggled to breathe as the rivers warmed. Vegetation was next—unable to escape the heat, it struggled to hold water. Bighorn sheep moved to higher ground, doves panted like dogs, baby eagles jumped to their deaths in an attempt to fly to escape overheating with their siblings.(一股源自太平洋的热浪向内陆漂移，强度不断增强，形成了一个热穹。冰是第一个受害者，随着积雪融化，冰川释放出快速流动的泥水，淹没了城镇。鲑鱼察觉到水温的变化，开始提早迁徙。但随着河水变暖，他们呼吸困难。其次是植被，它们无法逃离高温，难以保持水分。大角羊搬到更高的地方，鸽子像狗一样喘气，小鹰为了避免和兄弟姐妹一起过热，在试图飞翔时跳死了)”可知，第2段通过列举例子描述热浪的影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In 72 hours, the official number of human deaths was 1,000—but the actual number is likely higher, especially among the elderly, poor, and medically”可知，在72小时内，官方公布的死亡人数为1000人，但实际数字可能更高，特别是在老年人、穷人和医疗虚弱的群体中。故划线词意思是“虚弱的”，故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But there are limits to adaptation for Earth’s population of nearly 8 billion.(但对地球上近80亿人口来说，适应气候变化是有限的)”可知，由于人口众多，地球对热浪的适应能力是有限的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the summer of 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced a severe heatwave that caused widespread panic and destruction. Temperatures reached record levels, including 114℉ in Portland.( 2021年夏天，太平洋西北部经历了一场严重的热浪，造成了广泛的恐慌和破坏。波特兰的气温达到创纪录的114华氏度)”结合文章主要说明了太平洋西北部遭受高温天气的情况，介绍了伤亡情况以及原因。可知，C选项“热浪袭击太平洋西北部”最符合文章标题。故选C。

If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations—You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.
Sounds alarming As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.
Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”
So, how to beat procrastination Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.
12. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept.
C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison.
13. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with
A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.
B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.
C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.
D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.
14. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination
A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly.
C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first.
15. What is the tone of this text
A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A

Choosing artwork can feel like an exhausting task if you have no idea where to start and you can end up staring at a blank wall waiting for that enlightening moment. From traditional landscapes to family photos, the options are endless. ____16____
Look for inspiration in interiors magazines, as well as online, and visit independent stores to figure out what styles appeal to you. There are no set rules when it comes to artwork preferences. ____17____ Then, make space for it on your walls.
Depending on your budget, there are different places you can begin your search for artwork. ____18____ The Affordable Art Fair, for example, features work by a wide range of artists, with pieces that won’t cost the earth.

Bolder and brighter tones, on the contrary, suit dynamic areas better.
Once you’ve chosen your artwork, it’s time to think about how best to showcase it around your home. Gallery walls are a popular way if you want to create a central point. ____20____ By the way, you can add vases and potted plants to create another dimension.

From traditional landscapes to family photos, the options are endless.(如果你不知道从哪里开始选择艺术品，你可能会觉得这是一项令人筋疲力尽的任务，你可能会盯着空白的墙壁等待那个有启发性的时刻。从传统的风景到家庭照片，选择是无穷无尽的)”可知，本文主要讲述了，如何为你的家选择艺术品，所以A项“So, how to choose artwork for your home (那么，如何为你的家选择艺术品呢 )”符合文意，和前文构成因果关系，并引出本文主题。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Look for inspiration in interiors magazines, as well as online, and visit independent stores to figure out what styles appeal to you. There are no set rules when it comes to artwork preferences.(在室内杂志和网上寻找灵感，并参观独立的商店，找出吸引你的风格。对于美术作品的偏好并没有固定的规则)”可知，本段讲述了通过自己的直觉去选择艺术品，所以D项“Trust your feeling if something makes you stop, smile or think.(如果某件事让你停下来、微笑或思考，相信你的感觉)”可知，是对前文的解释，符合文意。故选D项。

The colours used in the piece will also be something to consider—greens and blues have comforting properties so are mild for a bedroom. Bolder and brighter tones, on the contrary, suit dynamic areas better.(排版印刷将注入空间的乐趣和凉爽，当代的感觉。另一方面，黑白摄影可以激发一种更压抑的气氛。这件作品中使用的颜色也需要考虑——绿色和蓝色具有舒适的特性，因此对于卧室来说是温和的。相反，大胆和明亮的色调更适合动态区域)”可知，本段主要讲述了通过空间基调来选择艺术品，所以G项“The type of artwork you choose can set the tone of a room and greatly impact the mood.(你选择的艺术品类型可以设定一个房间的基调，并极大地影响情绪)”符合文意，是本段中心句。故选G项。
【20题详解】

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。
It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a mission: to find my lost cat, Baby-Girl. It had been six months since she’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all.
That summer, my sweet kitty had disappeared from my parents’ house while I was away from home. My dad and I spent that entire visit searching for her. Dad was the family’s “realist”, which meant he spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “She’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her,” he said. I rolled my eyes. Dad always supported me, but he was so skeptical (怀疑的).
Though I couldn’t explain it, I knew I’d see Baby-Girl again. She would survive on her own. If any cat could do the impossible, it was my Baby-Girl. Deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited.
Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Baby-Girl’s cat carrier and loaded it into the car, then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she’d been found.
“Sharon, you have to be realistic,” my dad said as we headed to the garage. “She’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find her.”
“Don’t you believe in Christmas miracles ” I asked.
“Bah humbug (呸，胡扯),” he said, lightening the mood. It was his favorite Christmas saying and an inside joke in our family. He even had a shirt with the phrase printed across the front, which he wore every Christmas morning.
At the shelter, we walked through rows of cages. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes. None of them was my Baby-Girl. Then I noticed a room farther back. I pushed ahead. “Sweetheart, that’s where they keep the cats that just came in,” Dad said. “Your cat wouldn’t be in there.”
“It doesn’t hurt to look!” I said.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】Possible version 1:
Para 1. I stepped into the room and heard a familiar meow. My eyes zeroed in on a little tabby cat with big green eyes. She was skinnier than I remembered, but it was Baby-Girl all right! My eyes welled up with tears. I opened the cage door. Baby-Girl practically jumped into my arms. I held her close as Dad looked on, mouth agape. “Dad! It’s Baby-Girl!” I cried. “There’s just no way…” he mumbled to himself. I pointed out that this cat matched Baby-Girl’s description perfectly—right down to her hind left white paw. It was as if fate had waited for the perfect moment to bring her back to me. Holding her close, I felt the weight of the past six months lift. Still, he looked uncertain.
Para 2. Back home, Dad remained stubbornly skeptical. “It just cannot be her,” he said. “Not after all this time.” I rolled my eyes. Baby-Girl seemed completely at home. She purred like a motor boat, rubbing up against our legs. She made her way down to the basement, where her litter box was kept. “See How would she know that the box was there if she hadn’t been here before ” I said to Dad. He considered for a moment and then nodded his head. Looking at each other, we both laughed. My heart was filled with gratitude—my cat was home again, six months after going missing. The next day, when Dad came downstairs for Christmas morning, he was wearing a new holiday shirt. It read: I Believe!
Possible version 2:
Para 1. I stepped into the room and heard a familiar meow. My heart leaped. Racing towards the sound, I found myself face to face with a cat that looked exactly like Baby-Girl. Her eyes, that unique shade of green, met mine, and she meowed again, a sound I’d never forget. Tears welled up as I reached out, and she rubbed against my hand. “Baby-Girl ” I whispered, hardly daring to believe. Later, I was informed that she had been brought in just yesterday by someone who found her wandering. It was as if fate had waited for the perfect moment to bring her back to me. Witnessing all these, Dad widened his eyes in disbelief, murmuring “there is just no way…” (109words)
Para 2. Back home, Dad remained stubbornly skeptical. He turned to me and started “Well, I’ll be…”, his voice trailing off. He couldn’t finish his sentence as Baby-Girl leaped from my arms into his, purring loudly. His doubt vanished, overtaken by astonishment and happiness as she snuggled into his embrace. For the first time, I saw tears in Dad’s eyes as he petted her, his gruff exterior melting away. “Guess I’m a believer in Christmas miracles now, “he said softly, looking from Baby-Girl to me. That Christmas, our family’s bond deepened, woven back together by the return of Baby-Girl, embodying a tangible piece of holiday magic and the power of unwavering hope. (104words)
