I am the world’s leading climate change campaigner. Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we’re exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING.
Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance.
The only problem Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house.
Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it’s midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power. What’s Jocasta up to Running a factory
The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I’ve earned. What Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time.
24. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1
A. He is a creative businessman.
B. He takes pride in the solar gains.
C. He enjoys launching campaigns.
D. He has a gift for app development.
25. What does Jocasta complain about
A. The unknown waste of power. B. Her family’s impatient attitude.
C. The unstable supply of electricity. D. Her husband’s unreasonable behavior.
26. What does the underlined phrase “through the roof” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Rocketing. B. Changing. C. Freezing. D. Diving.
27. What message does the text convey
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. A penny saved is a penny earned.
C. Great minds think ahead of their time.
D. Technology is a good servant but a bad master.
C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
28. What are cities like DC trying to do
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
29. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
30. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion
A. Realistic. B. Far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life
D
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的) This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
33. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
35. What does Loconsole say about the effect
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As part of my research for my book, I’m doing an experiment — a “daily visit.” I wanted to visit the same place every day, for an entire year, to see how that experience would affect my perceptions.
____36____ A large place, a beautiful place, and an inexhaustible place. And so I decided on the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a treasure house within walking distance of my apartment — seven minutes, I timed it.
But here’s the thing: I’ve lived within walking distance of the Met for years. ____37____ The museum had always been there, waiting, but I’d mostly ignored it.
For me, the Met was an untapped possibility that I was eager to explore, and I wondered if other people felt the same way. I asked on social media. ____38____ I’d assumed that my desire to visit the same place every day was fairly unusual, so I was surprised by how enthusiastically people embraced this idea. I heard from many people who already made daily visits, or who liked the idea of making daily visits, to places such as: the beach, public library, hiking trails, and even a castle!
When I started this experiment of making a daily visit, I had no idea what to expect. Spoiler alert (剧透): I love this visit. ____39____ I may visit the Met every day for the rest of my life. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotations by Alberto Giacometti:
Everything gains in grandeur (宏伟) every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. ____40____
A. It’s a highlight of my daily schedule.
B. I was astonished by the flood of answers I received.
C. Visiting the same place every day was not easy for me.
D. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is.
E. The fact that I could visit was no guarantee that I would visit.

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse.

As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port.

M: The kids are so energetic, so having them concentrated is tough, but their curiosity leads to priceless moments of joy. When a child spots a bird in the forest for the first time, or steps over a stick, you can see it on their faces.
W: That sounds rewarding. Any plans for new themes or locations
M: Absolutely! Next season, we’ll explore the seaside, looking for shells on the beach and learning about tides.
W: That sounds great. I can’t wait to get my son involved.

I am the world’s leading climate change campaigner. Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we’re exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING.
Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance.
The only problem Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house.
Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it’s midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power. What’s Jocasta up to Running a factory
The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I’ve earned. What Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time.
24. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1
A. He is a creative businessman.
B. He takes pride in the solar gains.
C. He enjoys launching campaigns.
D. He has a gift for app development.
25. What does Jocasta complain about

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者安装了太阳能板并通过手机APP监控发电量与用电量，为此过度控制家中用电，甚至因此引发家人抱怨，还因天气、意外耗电等情况焦虑不已，幽默地展现了人们在享受科技便利的同时，也容易被科技过度支配的生活状态。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING.(我很享受这种感觉。没错，我在拯救地球。更重要的是：我什么都不用做，每小时就能赚10多美分。)”可知，作者为自己利用太阳能获得收益并节能的行为感到自豪。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of ‘I was using that light to read a book’ or ‘Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer’(我妻子乔卡斯塔会有些抱怨，比如‘我正用那盏灯看书呢’或者‘你关我电脑之前怎么不保存我的文件’)”可知，妻子抱怨丈夫不合理的关灯、关电脑等控制用电的行为。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power.(哦不！乌云密布！糟了！我们现在一点电都发不出来了。而用电量却突然through the roof。我们正在耗尽电网的电力。)”可知，太阳能不发电时，用电量急剧上升，through the roof意为“急剧上升、飞涨”，与rocketing含义一致。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming.(嗯，是从上个月开始算的。就在上个月，我们家装了太阳能板，还连了我手机上的一个应用。现在不管我在哪儿，只要打开这个应用，就能看到我们发了多少电、用了多少电。)”、倒数第二段中“Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app.(回到办公室，我发现我的眼睛很难从这个应用程序上移开。) ”、最后一段中“You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time.(你看，有时候走在时代的前面是很难的。)”并结合全文可知，作者借助太阳能和APP管理用电本是科技带来的便利，却反过来被这个监控应用控制了生活，时时刻刻牵挂耗电量，一点波动就焦虑不已，文章传达出“科技是好的仆人，但容易成为糟糕的主人”的道理。故选D。
C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
28. What are cities like DC trying to do
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
29. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
30. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion
A. Realistic. B. Far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国许多城市面临办公室空置率高和住房短缺的双重危机，一些城市开始尝试将空置的办公楼改造成住宅，以同时缓解这两个问题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. (像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正押注于通过将空置的办公室改造成住宅，让一个危机帮助解决另一个危机)”可知，华盛顿特区等城市正试图重新利用空置的办公室。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. (计划包括游泳池和狗狗公园等豪华设施，预计月租金约为4000美元。然而，将有60套单元被留作经济适用房)”可知，该项目既包含高租金的高端单元，也包含经济适用房单元，在追求商业回报的同时也兼顾了社会需求。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” (但她认为这些项目仍然很重要，“就提供一些住房供应而言，这确实是一举两得”)”可知，Tracy Loh认为这种改造是现实的、可行的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential. (但对于华盛顿特区杜邦环岛外的这间空置办公室，房地产开发商看到了潜力)”以及后文关于将空置办公室改造成住宅的讨论可知，本文主要讲述了将办公室改造成住宅的趋势。故C项“Offices Are Becoming Homes (办公室正在变成住宅)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。
D
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的) This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
33. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
35. What does Loconsole say about the effect
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应，即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来；一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象，并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性，同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现：雏鸡也会做出同样的配对，这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知，这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时，80%会先靠近圆润形状，平均花三分多钟探索它，而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知，雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为，这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的，现在可以排除这种说法，因为小鸡尽管不会说话，但还是表现出了这种效果。相反，“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知，本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说：“即使语言是人类独有的，这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知，她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.

【答案】
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Its white paint glowed in the spring sun, a quiet call to Mario. He crept inside again, fingers brushing the old receiver. Lifting it to his ear, he choked out, “Dad The peach trees are blooming. I miss hearing you greet the ocean.” His voice, rusty from disuse, trembled as tears blurred his eyes. For the first time since the wave, the silence in his chest felt lighter.
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The old man turned, a soft smile on his face. Mario walked over, throat tight but determined. “I... I talked to him,” he whispered. Mr. Harper nodded, patting his shoulder. “The wind carries our words to them. They hear us, Mario.” Mario looked at the ocean, where waves lapped gently. This time, he whispered back, “Good morning, Dad.” A small, shaky smile tugged at his lips.
【解析】
