阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
More than one billion pounds of pumpkins are grown in the U. S. every year, and after they’ve been used for Halloween decorations, millions of them — large, mini, orange, white — will end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场).
“Driving around after Halloween, you see people with pumpkins on top of their garbage bins. All of that will go to a landfill and become methane gas which warms the atmosphere in a shorter amount of time than carbon dioxide,” says Kay McKeen, the director of an environmental education organization based in State of Illinois. “And landfills — where we send as much as 40 percent of the food we produce — contribute to 14 percent of U.S. methane emissions every year.” That’s why, in 2014, McKeen began Pumpkin Smash.
For this collection event, local people can bring their used pumpkins to 69 different locations to send them off to trash bins, and of course smash them to pieces. Though the event is currently limited to several towns, but by their own calculations, the event has saved 538 tons of pumpkins from the landfill. “It puts nutrients back in our soil, it saves water, and it doesn’t make methane gas,” says McKeen.
Baking and cooking offers an easier solution. Pureed (糊状的) pumpkin is a common ingredient in baked goods like breads and pies. Actually, pumpkins are full of vitamins and fiber, making it a great source of human nutrition. And according to the American Kennel Club, pumpkin mixed into dog food can even help settle a dog’s upset stomach. “They love it mixed with their dry dog food, and it’s very good for them,” says Anne Meier, president of the club.
1. Out of what did McKeen start Pumpkin Smash
A. Company profit. B. Educational purpose.
C. Food saving. D. Environmental concern.
2. What can we learn about Pumpkin Smash from Paragraph 3
A. It is widely accepted nationwide. B. It reduces the use of pumpkins.
C. It creates a win-win result. D. It needs further improvement.
3. What’s advised in the last paragraph
A. Place more smashing bins around. B. Use pureed pumpkins in baking.
C. Treat dog diseases with pumpkins. D. Expand the source of nutrition.
4. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A local newspaper. B. A story collection.
C. A biology textbook. D. An academic article.
B
A food-tech startup in New York has developed technology to preserve food for months without a fridge and artificial preservatives (人工防腐剂). To cut down millions of tons of food waste worldwide, it also may transform agriculture in developing countries where refrigerated shipping containers and trains are rare or expensive.
Have you ever wondered why we don’t devote more farmland to growing fruits and vegetables since they’re much more nutritious The reason is food’s spoilage (变质). Farther Farms’ unique CO pasteurization (巴氏杀菌法) technology is a simple fix that can spin out packaged foods ’shelf life at room temperature. Their first choice was French fries which would normally need to be frozen to survive trips between production facilities and supermarkets. They can’t be pasteurized like other goods. Instead, Farther Farms puts them into special packaging and fills it with specially made CO , preventing damage from bacteria.
Growing up in India in a farming family, co-founder Vipul Saran developed Farther Farms as a student at Cornell University. His familiarity with the costs and the trouble of moving agricultural products from farms into towns and cities before they spoiled influenced his development of the technology.
“The whole goal is, basically, how we can look into new food processing technologies that can allow us to create value-added food products from these easily spoilt food products, which avoids the need and the dependency on freezing as much as possible,” Saran said.
Rather than packaging apples or potatoes in a plastic bag, the Farther Farms tech is ideal for value-added food products, not only because they require packaging of some kind, but also because they earn farmers more money. Rather than needing to transport them by refrigerated boxcar or shipping container, Farther Farms would ship them at any temperature, thus allowing food producers of all kinds to reach the maximal number of markets.
5. What can be learned about the new technology
A. It improves food safety standards. B. It’s used for reducing food waste.
C. It strengthens the cold chain in India. D. It simplifies the food production process.
6. What does the underlined phrase “spin out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Check. B. Limit. C. Lengthen. D. Damage.
7. How does the new technology work
A. By heating the food before packaging. B. By freezing the food as early as possible.
C. By recycling special packaging materials. D. By filling food packaging with special CO .
8. What’s the impact of this new technology on farmers
A. It reduces the storm damage to their crops.
B. It expands the market and increases their income.
C. It offers them more farmland available for food production.
D. It makes them gain more professional agricultural knowledge.
C
In today’s digital age, there exists a phenomenon (现象) where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information. Although there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this effort gets in the way of practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By taking action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s important not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
9. What stops people from achieving the goal
A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find related information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
10. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 and 4
A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Focusing on theoretical knowledge in study.
11. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. To compare different learning styles.
B. To show the importance of making mistakes.
C. To stress the need for parental guidance.
D. To illustrate learning through action and experience.
12. What makes the best title for the passage
A. The Balance of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information.
C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The Significance of Hands-on Experience.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。
As humans, we’re meant to be social creatures. In fact, being socially connected is key to our mental and emotional health. ____13____This can cause us to cut ourselves off from others and gradually become lonely. Social situations can seem frightening, but the truth is never quite so black-and-white.
People aren’t thinking about you—at least not to the degree that you think. ____14____ Just like you’re thinking about yourself, other people are thinking about themselves. They’re not spending their free time judging you, so stop wasting time worrying about what others think of you.
____15____ When you’re socially anxious, it can seem as though everyone else is fully confident. But that’s not the case. There are still many shy people out there struggling with the same self-doubts as you are. The next person you speak to is just as likely to be worried about what you think of them!
You don’t have to be perfect to be liked. In fact, our imperfections can be pleasant. ____16____ If you can cheerfully accept your awkwardness and imperfections, you’ll likely find that others will, too. They may even like you better for it!
It’s okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes; it’s part of being human. ____17____ Your value doesn’t come from being perfect. If you find self-forgiveness difficult, try to look at your own mistakes as you would those of a friend.
Overcoming social fear requires practice. Don’t expect to become socially comfortable without putting in the time. That said, you can start small. Take baby steps towards being more confident and social, and then build on those successes.
A. So give yourself a break when you mess up.
B. Most people are caught up in their own lives.
C. The good news is that you can learn from them.
D. People are much more confident than you think.
E. Even our weaknesses can bring us closer to others.
F. Many other people feel just as awkward and nervous as you do.
G. Yet many of us are shy and feel awkward around unfamiliar people.

On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.
During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.
Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”
Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”
This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.
He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.

More than one billion pounds of pumpkins are grown in the U. S. every year, and after they’ve been used for Halloween decorations, millions of them — large, mini, orange, white — will end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场).

【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Pumpkin Smash活动，旨在减少南瓜填埋，保护环境，提倡南瓜再利用。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“All of that will go to a landfill and become methane gas which warms the atmosphere in a shorter amount of time than carbon dioxide, (所有这些都将进入垃圾填埋场，变成甲烷气体，在比二氧化碳更短的时间内使大气变暖)”及““And landfills—where we send as much as 40 percent of the food we produce—contribute to 14 percent of U.S. methane emissions every year.” That’s why, in 2014, McKeen began Pumpkin Smash. (“而垃圾填埋场——我们生产的40%的食物都被送到那里——每年占美国甲烷排放量的14%。”这就是为什么麦基恩在2014年创办了《南瓜粉碎》。)”可知，文章提到，南瓜填埋后会产生甲烷，加剧温室效应，因此她希望通过这一活动减少南瓜填埋，保护环境。因此McKeen发起Pumpkin Smash的原因是对环境问题的担忧。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““It puts nutrients back in our soil, it saves water, and it doesn’t make methane gas,” says McKeen. (麦基恩说：“它能把养分放回土壤，节约水资源，而且不会产生甲烷气体。”)”可知，Pumpkin Smash不仅减少了南瓜填埋，还将南瓜转化为土壤养分，节约水资源，并减少甲烷排放，实现了环境和资源的双重收益。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Pureed (糊状的) pumpkin is a common ingredient in baked goods like breads and pies. (南瓜泥是面包和馅饼等烘焙食品的常见成分。)”可知，因为南瓜富含营养，可以做成糊状用于面包、派等食品中，所以作者建议建议将南瓜用于烘焙和烹饪。故选B。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“More than one billion pounds of pumpkins are grown in the U. S. every year, and after they’ve been used for Halloween decorations, millions of them—large, mini, orange, white—will end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). (美国每年种植超过10亿磅的南瓜，在它们被用作万圣节装饰之后，数百万的南瓜——大的、小的、橙色的、白色的——最终会被扔进垃圾填埋场。)”可知，文章开篇以报道的形式介绍了日常生活中南瓜被浪费的背景事实，继而据此发起Pumpkin Smash活动并给出实用建议，语言通俗易懂，符合地方报纸的风格。由此推断文章来自于地方报纸。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是纽约一家食品科技初创公司开发了一种技术，可以在没有冰箱和人工防腐剂的情况下将食物保存数月。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To cut down millions of tons of food waste worldwide, it also may transform agriculture in developing countries where refrigerated shipping containers and trains are rare or expensive.”（为了减少全球数百万吨的食物浪费，它还可能改变发展中国家的农业，在这些国家，冷藏集装箱和火车很少或很昂贵。）可知，这项新技术被用来减少食物浪费。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Instead, Farther Farms puts them into special packaging and fills it with specially made CO , preventing damage from bacteria.”（相反，Farther Farms将它们放入特殊的包装中，并填充特制的二氧化碳，以防止细菌的破坏。）可知，这项技术可以防止细菌的破坏，进而延长了包装食品的保质期，推断出画线短语spin out意为“延长”，与lengthen意思相同。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, Farther Farms puts them into special packaging and fills it with specially made CO , preventing damage from bacteria.”（相反，Farther Farms将它们放入特殊的包装中，并填充特制的二氧化碳，以防止细菌的破坏。）可知，新技术通过在食品包装中填充特殊的二氧化碳来起作用。故选D项。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rather than packaging apples or potatoes in a plastic bag, the Farther Farms tech is ideal for value-added food products, not only because they require packaging of some kind, but also because they earn farmers more money. Rather than needing to transport them by refrigerated boxcar or shipping container, Farther Farms would ship them at any temperature, thus allowing food producers of all kinds to reach the maximal number of markets.”（与用塑料袋包装苹果或土豆不同，Farther Farms的技术是增值食品的理想选择，不仅因为它们需要某种包装，还因为它们能给农民带来更多收入。Farther Farms不需要用冷藏货车或集装箱运输，而是在任何温度下运输，从而使各种食品生产商能够最大限度地到达市场。）可知，这项新技术对农民的影响是它扩大了市场，增加了他们的收入。故选B项。
C
In today’s digital age, there exists a phenomenon (现象) where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information. Although there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this effort gets in the way of practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By taking action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s important not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
9. What stops people from achieving the goal
A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find related information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
10. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 and 4
A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Focusing on theoretical knowledge in study.
11. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. To compare different learning styles.
B. To show the importance of making mistakes.
C. To stress the need for parental guidance.
D. To illustrate learning through action and experience.
12. What makes the best title for the passage
A. The Balance of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information.
C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The Significance of Hands-on Experience.
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. D 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出在数字时代，过度追求信息会阻碍目标的实现，倡导在学习和行动间取得平衡，通过行动和经验来达成目标。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. (考虑一个你渴望实现一个特定目标的情况。你首先要进行广泛的研究，深入研究这个主题。当你接受的信息越多，你的理解力反而越弱。每一个新的概念或策略都揭示出更深的层次，使目标看起来更复杂、更遥不可及)”可知，过多信息使目标看起来更复杂、更遥不可及，造成的困惑会阻止人们实现目标。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information.(这种情况是一个常见的陷阱：无休止地追求更多的信息)”和第四段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和行动之间取得平衡。收集必要的信息，然后迅速采取行动，即使你觉得自己有点准备不足)”可知，作者在第三、四段倡导不要无休止地追求更多的信息，而是立即采取实际行动。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.(这通常是最好的学习方式，因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解)”和第五段中“The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. (与婴儿学走路的比较就是一个很好的例子。婴儿不是通过坐着分析走路的过程来学习走路的。相反，它通过尝试走路、摔倒，然后从每次摔倒中了解哪些方法可行，哪些不可行来学习。通过反复努力，最终学会了走路。这种方法也适用于实现目标)”可知，提到“婴儿学走路”的例子是为了说明要通过行动和经验来学习。故选D项。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和行动之间取得平衡)”和最后一段“Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.(学习应该是行动的垫脚石，而不是目的本身。只有通过收集知识和应用知识的相互作用，我们才能真正朝着我们的目标前进)”可知，本文主要论述了学习和行动要保持平衡。故A项“The Balance of Learning and Doing.(学习和实践的平衡)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。

As humans, we’re meant to be social creatures. In fact, being socially connected is key to our mental and emotional health. ____13____This can cause us to cut ourselves off from others and gradually become lonely. Social situations can seem frightening, but the truth is never quite so black-and-white.
People aren’t thinking about you—at least not to the degree that you think. ____14____ Just like you’re thinking about yourself, other people are thinking about themselves. They’re not spending their free time judging you, so stop wasting time worrying about what others think of you.
____15____ When you’re socially anxious, it can seem as though everyone else is fully confident. But that’s not the case. There are still many shy people out there struggling with the same self-doubts as you are. The next person you speak to is just as likely to be worried about what you think of them!
You don’t have to be perfect to be liked. In fact, our imperfections can be pleasant. ____16____ If you can cheerfully accept your awkwardness and imperfections, you’ll likely find that others will, too. They may even like you better for it!
It’s okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes; it’s part of being human. ____17____ Your value doesn’t come from being perfect. If you find self-forgiveness difficult, try to look at your own mistakes as you would those of a friend.
Overcoming social fear requires practice. Don’t expect to become socially comfortable without putting in the time. That said, you can start small. Take baby steps towards being more confident and social, and then build on those successes.
A. So give yourself a break when you mess up.
B. Most people are caught up in their own lives.
C. The good news is that you can learn from them.

【答案】officially
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：这所学院是一所官方认可的英语语言学校。“官方”修饰形容词accepted，用副词officially。故填officially。
52. When a fire broke out at the National Exhibition in London, at least ten priceless paintings were completely ________ (破坏). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】destroyed
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：当伦敦国家展览馆发生火灾时，至少有十幅无价的画被完全烧毁了。副词completely后接动词形式。动词“破坏”英文为destroy。paintings 与destroy之间为被动关系，所以were后接动词的过去分词形式，构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填destroyed。

54. 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。
On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.
During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.
Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”
Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”
This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.
He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.

【答案】On Monday morning, Mike unwillingly approached the classroom. Feeling nervous and embarrassed, his heart was heavy with worry that his classmates would tease him. His hair had been cut so short that the skin under the hair was nearly visible. As he stepped through the door，the room erupted in giggles, nicknaming him “Baldy.” A few curious boys came up and attempted to touch his newly shaved head. Overwhelmed by shame and anger, Mike shouted out, “You are mean!” Tears welled up in his eyes as Mike stood up and ran towards the door.
At that moment, Mr. Stone walked into the classroom with a ball of paper. With a gentle pat on Mike’s shoulder, he guided him back to his seat. As Mr. Stone made his way to the platform, the room fell silent. Holding up the crumpled ball of paper, he began to smooth out its wrinkles. “Each fold represented a scar of hurtful words. Even when we try to apologize,” Mr. Stone explained softly, “the wounds remain. Let us always speak with kindness and warmth.” From that day on, Mike learned a valuable lesson: the importance of kindness and empathy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了小学四年级的班主任Mr. Stone在一次课间休息时发现新学生Sara被同学Mike因为发型而嘲笑，感到伤心。Mr. Stone不仅安慰了Sara，还教育了Mike要尊重他人，对Mike进行了深刻的反思，想起自己童年也曾因体重被嘲笑。为了帮助Mike理解别人的感受，Mr. Stone与Mike的母亲合作，计划让Mike体验被嘲笑的滋味，通过这种方式培养他的同理心。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“星期一早上，Mike不情愿地走近教室。”可知，第一段可描写他走进教室后被同学们嘲笑，还有同学给他起外号，他羞愧且愤怒的跑出教室。
②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，Mr. Stone先生拿着一团纸走进了教室。”可知，第二段可描写引导Mike回到座位，用褶皱的纸形象的说明伤人的话语对人造成的伤害，以及Mike的感悟。
