passenger seat, and we were off.
She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town”. It was
starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally
pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men
gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with
bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of guys helped with the
groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at
me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at
the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t
stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to
get my cell phone. I had to call 911.
With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me,
I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on
the bike stayed close to me.

Dear Mr. Johnson,
I am writing to seek your expert guidance for my upcoming English speech on the topic “AI and Our Future”
. While I find the theme inspiring, I am encountering some challenges in my preparation.
Specifically, I am struggling to structure my arguments in a logical manner. I am also uncertain about how to
select vivid and persuasive examples to illustrate my points effectively. Additionally, I would appreciate your
advice on whether my current draft uses language appropriate for a formal speech setting.
I would be immensely grateful for your professional insights. Your feedback would be invaluable in helping
me refine my speech and deliver it with greater confidence.
Yours,

第二节（满分 25 分）
Para. 1:
I saw the boy waving something. It suddenly struck me that it was my cell phone—its familiar case shining in
the dim streetlight. My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly pulled over, still on edge. He stopped his motorcycle
beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. “The old lady found this in my apartment building,” he said
softly. “I thought it must be yours and rushed to catch up. Didn’t mean to scare you.” His words melted my panic,
and I felt a rush of embarrassment for judging him so quickly.
Para. 2:
I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. I dipped into my wallet, pulling out a few bills to thank him, but he
shook his head firmly. “No need. I just didn’t want you to worry about your phone.” His gentle refusal made my
cheeks burn even hotter. But I insisted on asking for his name—Liam—and told him I’d bring him a gift the next
day. The next afternoon, I brought a box of hand-made cookies, for which he thanked me with a big grin. Through
this extraordinary encounter, I learned never to judge someone by their appearance; sometimes, good-hearted
people may have different appearances.
