After celebrating his 40th birthday on Nov 5, renowned Kenyan marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge embarked on his fifth trip to China.
Kipchoge was raised on a farm. As a child, he would often ride his bicycle to sell milk and run to and from school each day. In 2002, he began focusing on running, initially specializing in the 5,000 meters, a discipline he pursued for 11 years. In 2013, Kipchoge transitioned to marathon running, starting another 11-year journey that would redefine the sport.
From his debut marathon in 2013 to breaking the world record twice and winning two Olympic gold medals, Kipchoge has not only achieved extraordinary personal milestones but also inspired a global community of runners.
Looking back on his career, Kipchoge attributes his journey to a deep love for running and a desire to showcase his talent on the world stage. For years, he has stuck to a strict daily routine. His day begins at 5 am when he rises for a morning run. Afterward, he returns home for a tea break, followed by some light exercises before lunch. In the afternoon, he heads out for another run, then spends the rest of the day focusing on recovery and relaxation before preparing for bed.
Besides his passion for the sport, Kipchoge’s remarkable career comes from his inner drive to push the limits of human endurance. In 2019, he became the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, proving his motto (座右铭) that “no human is limited”.
“It is not just about running to win or breaking records. It’s about the satisfaction you feel after finishing a marathon-knowing that you can run anything, that you can accomplish (实现) anything in this world,” Kipchoge told China Daily.
4. What can we learn about Eliud Kipchoge’s early life
A. He was brought up on a farm.
B. He specialized in the 5,000 meters at 11.
C. He was forced to run to school as a child.
D. He started running marathons by accident.
5. What may Kipchoge agree with according to the text
A. Winning is the most important.
B. Passion contributes greatly to success.
C. Talented people can achieve success effortlessly.
D Satisfaction makes people overestimate their abilities.
6. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. His motto. B. His daily routine.
C. Running a marathon. D. His remarkable career.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Kipchoge

C. Talented and warmhearted. D. Persistent and highly-motivated.
C
There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.
Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt had created a special department to build the park.
Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt hired the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.
The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea — not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17, 1955.
8. What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland
A. The special design of Griffith Park.
B. A trip to a park with his daughters.
C. Requests from his family and employees.
D. The idea to build a park for his daughters.
9. What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland
A. Walt Disney’s personal preference.
B. The natural environment.
C. The advice of the public.
D. Local traffic.
10. What does the underlined word “marvelous” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Funny. B. Wild.
C. Wonderful. D. Imaginative.
11. What can we learn about the construction process
A. It was smooth generally.
B. It was affected by World War II.
C. It was completed later than expected.
D. It was influenced by a shortage of money.
D
One day there’ll be no need for you to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones an a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth- cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager.
12. What is special about the tooth cleaner
A. It’s water-resistant. B. It looks like a toothbrush.
C. It’s appearance-changeable. D. It contains skinny bristles.
13 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The bristles’ formation. B. The working principle.
C. The virus-killing process. D. The magnets’ motion.
14. How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A. Uncertain. B. Unfavorable. C. Concerned. D. Positive.
15. Which of the following would be the best title
A. A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth Cleaner
B. Magnetic Nanoparticles for Tooth Growth
C. A New Concept for Automatic Health Care
D. An Antibacteria Liquid Tooth cleaner for Adults
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the 1920s, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed a strange thing. While dining out, she was impressed by the complex orders the waiters were able to remember at one time. ____16____ This observation gave rise to the study of what would become known as the Zeigarnik Effect.
The Zeigarnik Effect refers to our tendency to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. At first glance the Zeigarnik Effect can seem like a handy adaptation: It’s good to remember the things we need to do, and it’s a positive thing to want to finish the things we start.____17____
First, each incomplete task your brain reminds you about takes up a bit of your attention, making it harder to concentrate on whatever you’re currently working on. Second, even if we manage to physically disconnect from work, the Zeigarnik Effect ensures that our unfinished tasks follow us home. They bring trouble to our vacations, our weekends, and even our sleep.____18____
So what can you do about it
Write your tasks down. Your brain is a terrible filing system. Instead of keeping tasks in your head, make a habit of writing them down as soon as they come to you.
____19____ Make a plan for tomorrow before you end the work day so your unfinished tasks don’t remain in your mind after-hours.
Don’t forget to look back at how far you’ve come.____20____ Therefore, review your completed tasks at the end of every week to celebrate what you’ve already.
A. Establish a work shutdown routine.
B. Have a system for expanding your job skills.
C. The problem when it comes to our productivity is two-fold.
D. Yet when customers checked out, these were totally forgotten.
E. We always quickly forget everything we’ve already accomplished.
F. We need a way to mentally disconnect in our hours away from work.
G. You have to actually complete all of your tasks to feel mental relief from it.

Having my ____24____ taken from me, I felt entirely ____25____.
I worked and worked, and ____26____ graduated from college, which took me four years longer than others. After that, I applied to a graduate program and ____27____ someone, my advisor Susan to take me on, and so I ____28____ at Princeton. I still felt I was not supposed to be there. The night before my first-year ____29____ I was so afraid that I called her and said, “I’m _____30_____.” She said, “You’re going to stay, and this is what you’re going to do. You are going to _____31_____ it and do every lecture that you ever get asked to do, even if you’re _____32_____ until you have this moment where you say, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m doing it. I have become this.’”
So that’s what I did. I spent five years in graduate school and got my _____33_____. Now I am a public speaker. I realized that I had not just faked it till I made it, I had faked it till I became it. Our _____34_____ can change our behavior, and our behavior can change our _____35_____.

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 never imagined that a single piece of paper could change my entire perspective on life. I was a librarian, a job that had defined my existence for over two decades. My days were spent among the quiet rows of books. I knew every corner of the library, every title on the shelves, and yet, I felt as if my own life was missing a chapter.
It was a typical Tuesday morning. I was sorting through a box of old donations, preparing to catalog some rare books, when I found a small, yellowed envelope between the pages of an ancient journal. It had no address, no stamp, and no indication of its origin. Curious, I carefully opened it.
The handwriting was elegant but faded, the ink barely visible against the paper. The letter read,
“Dear Stranger;
If you are reading this, know that you are not alone. Life has a way of making us feel isolated, as if our stories are insignificant. But every life matters. Every story is important. I hope the letter finds someone who needs to hear these words.
You are stronger than you think. You have the power to change your world, one small act at a time. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to follow your dreams, and to embrace the unknown. The greatest journeys begin with a single step.
With hope,
A Friend”
I read the letter over and over, feeling a strange mix of emotions. The words resonated deeply within me, as if they were written specifically for me. I had always been content with my life, but lately, I felt a growing sense of restlessness. The library was my sanctuary (庇护所), but it had also become my prison. I had lost sight of my own dreams, my own story.
That evening, as I closed the library, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the letter was a sign. I had always been cautious, preferring the safety of routine to the uncertainty of change. But the letter reminded me that life was meant to be lived, not just observed.
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。
Paragraph 1: The next morning, I walked into the library director’s office, saying with resolution, “I have an idea.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Weeks later, the moveable library program started, bringing libraries to different communities.

In 2002, he began focusing on running, initially specializing in the 5,000 meters, a discipline he pursued for 11 years. In 2013, Kipchoge transitioned to marathon running, starting another 11-year journey that would redefine the sport.
From his debut marathon in 2013 to breaking the world record twice and winning two Olympic gold medals, Kipchoge has not only achieved extraordinary personal milestones but also inspired a global community of runners.
Looking back on his career, Kipchoge attributes his journey to a deep love for running and a desire to showcase his talent on the world stage. For years, he has stuck to a strict daily routine. His day begins at 5 am when he rises for a morning run. Afterward, he returns home for a tea break, followed by some light exercises before lunch. In the afternoon, he heads out for another run, then spends the rest of the day focusing on recovery and relaxation before preparing for bed.
Besides his passion for the sport, Kipchoge’s remarkable career comes from his inner drive to push the limits of human endurance. In 2019, he became the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, proving his motto (座右铭) that “no human is limited”.
“It is not just about running to win or breaking records. It’s about the satisfaction you feel after finishing a marathon-knowing that you can run anything, that you can accomplish (实现) anything in this world,” Kipchoge told China Daily.

There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.
Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt had created a special department to build the park.
Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt hired the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.
The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea — not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17, 1955.
8. What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland
A. The special design of Griffith Park.
B. A trip to a park with his daughters.
C. Requests from his family and employees.
D. The idea to build a park for his daughters.
9. What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland
A. Walt Disney’s personal preference.
B. The natural environment.
C. The advice of the public.
D. Local traffic.
10. What does the underlined word “marvelous” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Funny. B. Wild.
C. Wonderful. D. Imaginative.
11. What can we learn about the construction process
A. It was smooth generally.
B. It was affected by World War II.
C. It was completed later than expected.
D. It was influenced by a shortage of money.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A

One day, there’ll be no need for you to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones an a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth- cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager.
12. What is special about the tooth cleaner
A. It’s water-resistant. B. It looks like a toothbrush.
C. It’s appearance-changeable. D. It contains skinny bristles.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The bristles’ formation. B. The working principle.
C. The virus-killing process. D. The magnets’ motion.
14. How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A. Uncertain. B. Unfavorable. C. Concerned. D. Positive.
15. Which of the following would be the best title
A. A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth Cleaner
B. Magnetic Nanoparticles for Tooth Growth
C. A New Concept for Automatic Health Care
D. An Antibacteria Liquid Tooth cleaner for Adults
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种利用纳米粒子和磁力的新概念自清洁牙齿技术。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段“Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones an a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.(Steager 是宾夕法尼亚大学费城分校的一名工程师，而 Hyun Koo 则是那里的发明家和牙科研究员，他们找到了一种方法，可以将纳米颗粒形成长而细的刷毛，非常类似于牙刷上的刷毛。但这些刷毛能够变形以适应它们遇到的任何表面)”可知，文章主要介绍了由工程师Steager和研究者Hyun Koo开发的一种利用纳米粒子形状变化来清洁牙齿的机器人装置的设计原理和潜力。所以“一种变形机器人洁牙器”适合作本文的标题。故选A。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the 1920s, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed a strange thing. While dining out, she was impressed by the complex orders the waiters were able to remember at one time. ____16____ This observation gave rise to the study of what would become known as the Zeigarnik Effect.
The Zeigarnik Effect refers to our tendency to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. At first glance the Zeigarnik Effect can seem like a handy adaptation: It’s good to remember the things we need to do, and it’s a positive thing to want to finish the things we start.____17____
First, each incomplete task your brain reminds you about takes up a bit of your attention, making it harder to concentrate on whatever you’re currently working on. Second, even if we manage to physically disconnect from work, the Zeigarnik Effect ensures that our unfinished tasks follow us home. They bring trouble to our vacations, our weekends, and even our sleep.____18____
So what can you do about it
Write your tasks down. Your brain is a terrible filing system. Instead of keeping tasks in your head, make a habit of writing them down as soon as they come to you.
____19____ Make a plan for tomorrow before you end the work day so your unfinished tasks don’t remain in your mind after-hours.
Don’t forget to look back at how far you’ve come.____20____ Therefore, review your completed tasks at the end of every week to celebrate what you’ve already.
A. Establish a work shutdown routine.
B. Have a system for expanding your job skills.
C. The problem when it comes to our productivity is two-fold.
D. Yet when customers checked out, these were totally forgotten.
E We always quickly forget everything we’ve already accomplished.
F. We need a way to mentally disconnect in our hours away from work.
G. You have to actually complete all of your tasks to feel mental relief from it.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了20世纪20年代，俄罗斯心理学家Bluma Zeigarnik观察到一件奇怪的事情。外出就餐时，服务员一次就能记住的复杂订单给她留下了深刻的印象。然而，当顾客结账时，这些都被完全遗忘了。这一现象称之为蔡加尼克效应。通过对这一现象的研究，说明了我们如何在下班后，在精神上得到解脱。
【16题详解】
根据空前“In the 1920s, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed a strange thing. While dining out, she was impressed by the complex orders the waiters were able to remember at one time. (20世纪20年代，俄罗斯心理学家Bluma Zeigarnik观察到一件奇怪的事情。外出就餐时，服务员一次就能记住的复杂订单给她留下了深刻印象。)” 可知，空前介绍心理学家Bluma Zeigarnik观察到的一个现象，故D项“然而，当顾客结账时，这些都被完全遗忘了。”符合，此空继续描写观察到的这一现象，与前文构成转折关系，故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“At first glance the Zeigarnik Effect can seem like a handy adaptation: It’s good to remember the things we need to do, and it’s a positive thing to want to finish the things we start. (乍一看，蔡加尼克效应似乎是一个方便的适应；记住我们需要做的事情是件好事，想要完成我们开始的事情是一件积极的事情。）”以及后文“First, each incomplete task your brain reminds you about takes up a bit of your attention, making it harder to concentrate on whatever you’re currently working on. Second, even if we manage to physically disconnect from work, the Zeigarnik Effect ensures that our unfinished tasks follow us home. (首先，你大脑提醒你的每一项未完成的任务都会占用你的一点注意力，使你更难专注于你目前正在做的事情。其次，即使我们设法从身体上脱离工作，蔡加尼克效应也会确保我们未完成的任务会跟着我们回家。)”可知，此空承上启下，故C选项“当谈到我们的生产力时，这个问题是双重的。”符合，引出后文的提到的两方面的问题，一方面，大脑提醒你为完成的任务会让你很难专注你目前的事情，另一方面，即使身体上脱离了工作，但此效应也会让未完成的任务跟着我们回家，故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据空前“They bring trouble to our vacations, our weekends, and even our sleep. (它们给我们的假期、周末甚至睡眠带来了麻烦。)”可知，前文提到蔡加尼克效应使我们未完成的任务会一直在精神上跟随我们，给我们的假期、周末甚至睡眠带来了麻烦，故F项“我们需要一种方法，在下班后的时间里，在精神上断开联系。”符合，因为这些未完成的任务在精神上跟着我们，给我们的假期、周末甚至睡眠带来了麻烦，因此我们需要一种方法，在下班后的时间里，在精神上断开联系，故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据空后“Make a plan for tomorrow before you end the work day so your unfinished tasks don’t remain in your mind after-hours. . (在你结束一天的工作之前，为明天制定一个计划，这样你的未完成任务就不会在下班后留在你的脑海中。)”可知，空后提到制定第二天的计划，使自己精神上不被未完成的任务影响，故A选项“建立停工程序。”符合，提到建立停工程序即设定计划。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空后“Therefore, review your completed tasks at the end of every week to celebrate what you’ve already. (因此，在每周末回顾一下你完成的任务，以庆祝你已经完成的任务。)”可知，此空与空后为因果关系，故E选项“我们总是很快就忘记了我们已经完成所有事情。”符合，与空后构成因果关系，我们总是很快就忘记了我们已经完成所有事情，因此我们需要每周回顾一下你完成的任务，以庆祝你已经完成的任务，故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文，主要讲述今年二月全球海冰覆盖面积达到了历史最低点。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：世界变暖的后果之一是海冰融化，两极创纪录或接近纪录的低海冰覆盖率将全球海冰覆盖率推到了历史最低水平。这里考查“one of the + 可数名词复数”，表示“…… 之一”。故填consequences。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：萨曼莎 伯吉斯在一份声明中说。这里考查in a statement，为固定搭配，意为“在声明中”。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：根据欧盟气候服务机构哥白尼的数据，今年2月全球平均气温比工业平均气温高出1.59°C，成为有记录以来第三温暖的2月。此空考查谓语动词，主语Global average temperatures与rise为主动关系，在根据时间状语in February of this year可知，这里用一般过去时，rise的过去式为rose。故填rose。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据欧盟气候服务机构哥白尼的数据，今年2月全球平均气温比工业平均气温高出1.59°C，成为有记录以来第三温暖的2月。此空考查非谓语，由语境可知，应用现在分词作结果状语。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这些高温影响了全球海冰范围，其中包括目前海冰接近年度最大值的北极和南极。此空考查非限制性定语从句，先行词global sea ice extent，指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：在北极，整个2月海冰面积比平均水平低8%，缺失的冰层面积大致相当于英国的大小。修饰名词短语the size of the UK可用副词roughly，表示“大致地”。故填roughly。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是北极连续第三个月创下新的月度纪录低点。名词month被序数词third修饰，应用不定式作后置定语，表示“连续第三个做某事的月份”。故填to set。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：从过去两年的情况来看，北半球的这种下降与南极海冰的长期减少相结合。此空考查非谓语，decline与see为被动关系（被观察到），再由语境可知，应用过去分词作状语，且句首时首字母应大写。故填Seen。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：从过去两年的情况来看，北半球的这种下降与南极海冰的长期减少相结合。修饰名词hemisphere用形容词northern，northern hemisphere，意为“北半球”。故填northern。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：去年12月，南极海冰似乎恢复到均水平，但随后又迅速下降。分析句子结构可知，前后句为转折关系，应用连词but或yet。故填but或yet。

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 never imagined that a single piece of paper could change my entire perspective on life. I was a librarian, a job that had defined my existence for over two decades. My days were spent among the quiet rows of books. I knew every corner of the library, every title on the shelves, and yet, I felt as if my own life was missing a chapter.
It was a typical Tuesday morning. I was sorting through a box of old donations, preparing to catalog some rare books, when I found a small, yellowed envelope between the pages of an ancient journal. It had no address, no stamp, and no indication of its origin. Curious, I carefully opened it.
The handwriting was elegant but faded, the ink barely visible against the paper. The letter read,
“Dear Stranger;
If you are reading this, know that you are not alone. Life has a way of making us feel isolated, as if our stories are insignificant. But every life matters. Every story is important. I hope the letter finds someone who needs to hear these words.
You are stronger than you think. You have the power to change your world, one small act at a time. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to follow your dreams, and to embrace the unknown. The greatest journeys begin with a single step.
With hope,
A Friend”
I read the letter over and over, feeling a strange mix of emotions. The words resonated deeply within me, as if they were written specifically for me. I had always been content with my life, but lately, I felt a growing sense of restlessness. The library was my sanctuary (庇护所), but it had also become my prison. I had lost sight of my own dreams, my own story.
That evening, as I closed the library, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the letter was a sign. I had always been cautious, preferring the safety of routine to the uncertainty of change. But the letter reminded me that life was meant to be lived, not just observed.

【答案】The next morning, I walked into the library director’s office, saying with resolution, “I have an idea.” The director looked up from her desk, her eyes filled with curiosity. Taking a deep breath, I explained my idea to organize a moveable library program, bringing books and stories to those who had no access. I suggested reaching out to schools, nursing homes, and shelters - places where people might need a little bit of hope and connection. The director’s expression softened, and she nodded thoughtfully. “That’s a wonderful idea,” she agreed. With her support, I threw myself into the project. After hours of planning, contacting local organizations, and gathering resources, I enlisted the help of a few enthusiastic volunteers. The preparation work went smoothly.
Weeks later, the moveable library program started, bringing libraries to different communities. The first stop was a local elementary school, where we set up a reading corner in the library, equipped with colorful books and cozy seats. As I read aloud to a group of wide-eyed children, I saw their faces light up with wonder. For a moment, I forgot about my own doubts and fears. I was reminded of the joy that books could bring, and the importance of sharing that joy with others. The following months witnessed our library touched the lives of countless people in diverse places ranging from nursing homes, orphanages to hospitals. Each visit was a reminder of the letter’s words: “You have the power to change your world, one small act at a time.”
