A
Into the Wild
—Get to know some of the mammals that call Yellowstone home
Bison
Bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and are herbivores (食草动物). Despite their size, they are very mobile and
can run up to 30 mph and jump up to six feet vertically. In 1902, America’s wild bison had decreased to only two
dozen due to over-hunting. Conservation efforts increased the Yellowstone bison population to 4,800 in 2023. See
them in Hayden, Lamar and Pelican valleys.
Gray Wolf
Gray wolves had gone extinct in Yellowstone until 14 were reintroduced in 1995. Today, approximately 108
wolves live here. These social animals live in groups and can be gray, white or black. They hunt elk, deer and bison
near dawn and dusk thanks to their excellent night vision. For your best chance of seeing them, head to Lamar or
Hayden valleys or Blacktail Deer Plateau in the early morning.
Elk
Up to 20,000 elk summer in Yellowstone, but most move to lower elevations in the winter months. Elk are a
large member of the deer family and can be identified by their size and white rumps. Mating season, known as “the
rut”, occurs each fall when male elk fight with each other for females. In the summer, see them in Cascade Meadows,
Madison Canyon and Lamar Valley.
Grizzly Bear
One of two species of bears in Yellowstone, grizzlies are big. They can weigh up to 700 pounds and have a
distinctive hump between their shoulders. Grizzlies are omnivores and will eat bugs, plants, fish and mammals.
Approximately 150 live in Yellowstone and if you’re lucky, you may spot them in the Hayden and Lamar valleys,
north of Mount Washington and between Fishing Bridge and the East Entrance.1. Where can you see bison in Yellowstone?
A. Blacktail Deer Plateau. B. Cascade Meadows.
C. Hayden, Lamar, and Pelican valleys. D. Madison Canyon.
2. How does the passage present the reintroduction of gray wolves into Yellowstone?
A. As a recent failure.
B. As a successful conservation effort.
C. As a historical event with no current impact.
D. As an unimportant detail.
3. What does the underlined word “omnivores” refer to?
A. Animals that only eat plants.
B. Animals that eat only insects.
C. Animals that eat both plants and other animals.
D. Animals that eat only fish.

When cat cafes are mushrooming in cities and capturing the hearts of pet lovers, a new and unique trend is taking
flight: bird cafes. Just like the regular cat cafes, these unique establishments offer a peaceful and cozy atmosphere
where customers can interact closely with a variety of colorful and adorable birds, creating a delightful and engaging
experience.
Since this year, several bird cafes have appeared in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, becoming popular spots for
young people and bird enthusiasts. Inside one such cafe, known as Hangzhou Parrot Nursery, customers can be seen
feeding birds from small bowls of grains and engaging in playful interactions with the feathered residents. Some birds
even land on customers’ shoulders and heads.
The cafe is adorned with carefully designed branches and knitted bird nests, creating a welcoming environment
for both the birds and customers. It is home to a variety of bird species, including monk parakeets, macaws, and
cockatiels, each with their unique habits. The birds usually start their “workday” at 11 a.m. and retire to their cozy
cages for rest at 10 p.m., according to the cafe’s owner, surnamed Li, who spoke to Tide News on Monday.
Beyond being a place of leisure, the bird cafes serve as community hubs for bird enthusiasts to share experiences,
exchange tips, and explore the joys of bird companionship. Customers can bring their pet birds to the store, provided
they meet certain criteria, such as being raised for at least six months and having a confirmed health status.
However, running a bird cafe comes with challenges. The cafes favour hygiene (卫生) and safety, ensuring that
all birds receive thorough disinfection and isolation treatment. Customers are required to clean their hands upon entryand follow guidelines for interacting with the birds to ensure the well-being of both the birds and themselves.
Customers must be very careful not to harm the fragile creatures. If customer numbers decrease, the cafe may
cage some birds. Workers, who all have experience raising birds, clean the environment regularly, maintaining the
temperature above 23℃.
4. How does the cafe’s design contribute to a positive experience for both birds and customers?
A. By creating a quiet and inviting environment.
B. By including large bird cages and interactive toys.
C. By offering a wide variety of bird species for interaction.
D. By restricting customer access to certain areas of the cafe.
5. What is one of the activities customers can do at the Hangzhou Parrot Nursery?
A. Take birds for walks outside the cafe. B. Feed birds from small bowls of grains.
C. Train birds to perform tricks. D. Purchase birds to take home.
6. What is the primary purpose of bird cafes?
A. To provide a venue for bird breeding. B. To offer bird training services.
C. To sell various bird species. D. To serve as community hubs for bird enthusiasts.
7. What measures does the cafe take to protect both the birds and the visitors?
A. Only permitting entry to experienced bird handlers.
B. Conducting regular health examinations for the birds.
C. By maintaining strict hygiene and safety measures.
D. Restricting the number of birds present in the cafe.
C
We often find ourselves reflecting on unresolved personal conflicts from time to time. Who hasn’t reflected on
a hurtful comment or unintentional harm we might have caused someone? Feeling bad about something you did, or
something done to you, is human. Congratulations on not being a psychopath (精神病患者)! But while it’s
expected that the arguments we’ve had, the negative events we’ve experienced, and the major decisions we face
haunt us, overthinking can also pile on new problems.
Rumination, or “overthinking” , is a hallmark of poor mental health and unhappiness. It is a psychological
tendency that, if left unchecked, can reduce our enjoyment of life, ensuring we are never satisfied for long. Yes,
there are benefits to analyzing the past. But too much rumination can suffer you and, worse, cloud your judgment
about how to proceed into the future. The consequences of too much rumination are focusing on problems rather
than solutions, sacrificing the present moment, and losing productive time, sleep, and healthy relationships. Haveyou ever tried talking about yourself in the third person? The practice, called illeism, is a form of “self-distancing”
that allows us to avoid Solomon’s paradox (所罗门悖论): the idea that we are great at applying wise reasoning to
others’ lives but terrible at applying it to our own. Distancing ourselves from our problems helps us to see them as
clearly as we would another person’s.
That’s why illeism is a powerful method for breaking the cycle of rumination. It allows you to observe your
thoughts and feelings objectively rather than getting caught up in an emotional storm. By referring to yourself as
he, she, or they — or whatever third-person pronoun you prefer — you separate from the immediate experience and
gain a broader perspective.
According to Grossmann’s study, you might practice illeism during a daily 15-minute morning brain release,
which will not only reduce rumination and make you wiser but also relieve negative feelings that drive you to
distraction. If you’re not the type to keep a diary, you can get those same benefits by visualizing your conflicts from
a third-person perspective or relaying them to yourself in the third person, either aloud or in your head.
8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of too much rumination?
A. Focusing on problems rather than solutions.
B. Losing productive time.
C. Increasing enjoyment of life.
D. Sacrificing the present moment.
9. Why might illeism be considered effective in reducing rumination?
A. It helps to increase emotional intensity towards problems.
B. It makes one more focused on immediate emotional reactions.
C. It encourages reflecting on past mistakes.
D. It allows for a more objective view of one’s thoughts and feelings.
10. According to Grossmann’s study, what is a recommended practice to reduce rumination?
A. Talking to others about your problems.
B. Writing a daily diary entry.
C. Avoiding all emotional thoughts.
D. Ignoring your feelings and focusing solely on solutions.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Overthinking can negatively impact mental health, but self-distancing techniques like illeism can help reduce
this effect.
B. Reflection on past conflicts is essential for personal growth and emotional well-being.C. Emotional intensity is crucial for understanding and resolving personal issues.
D. Keeping a diary is the most effective way to deal with unresolved conflicts.
D
On the surface, Vienna Cammarota is a simple grandmother in her Italian hometown, but initial impressions can
be misleading. The mother of three in her 70s is a well-known hiker, who fearlessly explores what the world has to
offer.
Beginning in Venice on April 26, 2022, Cammarota arrived in China last month, the last stop of her journey to
the East, hiking more than 20,000 kilometers. The moment she set foot in China on August 29, she was warmly
greeted by people who presented her with a wreath, symbolizing friendship and blessings, and put on traditional
dance and singing performances for her arrival via Irkeshtam, the country’s farthest-west land port in the Xinjiang
Uygur autonomous region.
Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will embark on a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over
30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions, including Gansu, Shaanxi, Fujian and Guangdong Provinces,
and Beijing. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China.

Silk Road. Her goal is to experience the profound cultural heritage of Chinese civilization, witness the development
and achievements of modern China, and call for global harmony and inclusiveness by bringing into modern view the
Silk Road history and spirit to boost dialogue and understanding between the East and the West.
Li Jinsheng, chairman of China Arts and Entertainment Group, expressed his gratitude to Cammarota for her
admiration and goodwill toward Marco Polo, the Silk Road and China, as well as her strength to overcome numerous
challenges to retrace the Silk Road.
Li hopes that through her experiences, the historical charm of the Silk Road and the openness and inclusiveness of
China can be displayed, showcasing the beautiful vision of common development among Belt and Road countries.
12. What does Cammarota’s reception in China suggest about local attitudes towards cultural exchange?
A. They are indifferent to foreign visitors.
B. They prefer to keep their culture isolated.
C. They are primarily focused on tourism income.
D. They value friendship and cultural connections.
13. What is the main purpose of Vienna Cammarota’s journey across China?
.
A To experience Chinese cultural heritage and promote East-West dialogue.
B. To celebrate Marco Polo’s 750th anniversary.C. To visit as many cities in China as possible.
D. To complete a 20,000-kilometer hike for personal achievement.
14. How might Cammarota’s journey impact her understanding of the Silk Road?
A. She will likely find it less significant than she expected.
B. She might realize that the Silk Road is no longer relevant today.
C. She will only focus on modern cities, ignoring historical sites.
D. She may discover new connections between cultures along the route.
15. What can be inferred about Li Jinsheng’s viewpoint on Cammarota’s journey?
A. He believes it is just a personal adventure without broader significance.
B. He sees it as an opportunity to promote international understanding and cooperation.
C. He doubts the impact of her journey on cultural exchange.
D. He feels that her journey will primarily benefit the tourism industry.

I chose to hurriedly shut the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling
the things. But around Easter time this year, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind towards
these “unexpected visitors”.
Alice who recently moved to a new neighborhood, had been housebound(足不出户的)all week suffering from
the severe flu when, early one morning, there was the annoying knock on the door. Peering out the window, she saw
two young ladies seriously holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew a large TV set establishment nearby and
assumed a message was about to be delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and
hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them that she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in
any TV products. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely
turned and left in silence. A few hours later, the same two ladies were back again. Really annoyed this time, she
opened the door ready to give them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, these women, with concerned looks
on their faces, handed Alice a dish, saying “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like thishomemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel better.” Alice was surprised by this lovely gesture. Being
new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbors or people who could assist her with shopping so the gesture was
really appreciated. She could only smile embarrassedly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.
After Alice told this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed was. Especially in today’s world where
sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is
the real essence of love.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;2.开头语已给出。
Alice, deeply touched by this unexpected kindness, decided to reciprocate(回报) in her own way.

Into the Wild
—Get to know some of the mammals that call Yellowstone home
Bison
Bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and are herbivores (食草动物). Despite their size, they are very mobile and
can run up to 30 mph and jump up to six feet vertically. In 1902, America’s wild bison had decreased to only two
dozen due to over-hunting. Conservation efforts increased the Yellowstone bison population to 4,800 in 2023. See
them in Hayden, Lamar and Pelican valleys.
Gray Wolf
Gray wolves had gone extinct in Yellowstone until 14 were reintroduced in 1995. Today, approximately 108
wolves live here. These social animals live in groups and can be gray, white or black. They hunt elk, deer and bison
near dawn and dusk thanks to their excellent night vision. For your best chance of seeing them, head to Lamar or
Hayden valleys or Blacktail Deer Plateau in the early morning.
Elk
Up to 20,000 elk summer in Yellowstone, but most move to lower elevations in the winter months. Elk are a
large member of the deer family and can be identified by their size and white rumps. Mating season, known as “the
rut”, occurs each fall when male elk fight with each other for females. In the summer, see them in Cascade Meadows,
Madison Canyon and Lamar Valley.
Grizzly Bear
One of two species of bears in Yellowstone, grizzlies are big. They can weigh up to 700 pounds and have a
distinctive hump between their shoulders. Grizzlies are omnivores and will eat bugs, plants, fish and mammals.
Approximately 150 live in Yellowstone and if you’re lucky, you may spot them in the Hayden and Lamar valleys,
north of Mount Washington and between Fishing Bridge and the East Entrance.1. Where can you see bison in Yellowstone?
A. Blacktail Deer Plateau. B. Cascade Meadows.
C. Hayden, Lamar, and Pelican valleys. D. Madison Canyon.
2. How does the passage present the reintroduction of gray wolves into Yellowstone?
A. As a recent failure.
B. As a successful conservation effort.

D. As an unimportant detail.
3. What does the underlined word “omnivores” refer to?
A. Animals that only eat plants.
B. Animals that eat only insects.
C. Animals that eat both plants and other animals.
D. Animals that eat only fish.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C

When cat cafes are mushrooming in cities and capturing the hearts of pet lovers, a new and unique trend is taking
flight: bird cafes. Just like the regular cat cafes, these unique establishments offer a peaceful and cozy atmospherewhere customers can interact closely with a variety of colorful and adorable birds, creating a delightful and engaging
experience.
Since this year, several bird cafes have appeared in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, becoming popular spots for
young people and bird enthusiasts. Inside one such cafe, known as Hangzhou Parrot Nursery, customers can be seen
feeding birds from small bowls of grains and engaging in playful interactions with the feathered residents. Some birds
even land on customers’ shoulders and heads.
The cafe is adorned with carefully designed branches and knitted bird nests, creating a welcoming environment
for both the birds and customers. It is home to a variety of bird species, including monk parakeets, macaws, and
cockatiels, each with their unique habits. The birds usually start their “workday” at 11 a.m. and retire to their cozy
cages for rest at 10 p.m., according to the cafe’s owner, surnamed Li, who spoke to Tide News on Monday.
Beyond being a place of leisure, the bird cafes serve as community hubs for bird enthusiasts to share experiences,
exchange tips, and explore the joys of bird companionship. Customers can bring their pet birds to the store, provided
they meet certain criteria, such as being raised for at least six months and having a confirmed health status.
However, running a bird cafe comes with challenges. The cafes favour hygiene (卫生) and safety, ensuring that
all birds receive thorough disinfection and isolation treatment. Customers are required to clean their hands upon entry
and follow guidelines for interacting with the birds to ensure the well-being of both the birds and themselves.
Customers must be very careful not to harm the fragile creatures. If customer numbers decrease, the cafe may
cage some birds. Workers, who all have experience raising birds, clean the environment regularly, maintaining the
temperature above 23℃.
4. How does the cafe’s design contribute to a positive experience for both birds and customers?
A. By creating a quiet and inviting environment.
B. By including large bird cages and interactive toys.
C. By offering a wide variety of bird species for interaction.
D. By restricting customer access to certain areas of the cafe.
5. What is one of the activities customers can do at the Hangzhou Parrot Nursery?
.
A Take birds for walks outside the cafe. B. Feed birds from small bowls of grains.
C. Train birds to perform tricks. D. Purchase birds to take home.
6. What is the primary purpose of bird cafes?
A. To provide a venue for bird breeding. B. To offer bird training services.
C. To sell various bird species. D. To serve as community hubs for bird enthusiasts.
7. What measures does the cafe take to protect both the birds and the visitors?A. Only permitting entry to experienced bird handlers.
B. Conducting regular health examinations for the birds.
C. By maintaining strict hygiene and safety measures.
D. Restricting the number of birds present in the cafe.

We often find ourselves reflecting on unresolved personal conflicts from time to time. Who hasn’t reflected on
a hurtful comment or unintentional harm we might have caused someone? Feeling bad about something you did, or
something done to you, is human. Congratulations on not being a psychopath (精神病患者)! But while it’s
expected that the arguments we’ve had, the negative events we’ve experienced, and the major decisions we face
haunt us, overthinking can also pile on new problems.
Rumination, or “overthinking” , is a hallmark of poor mental health and unhappiness. It is a psychological
tendency that, if left unchecked, can reduce our enjoyment of life, ensuring we are never satisfied for long. Yes,
there are benefits to analyzing the past. But too much rumination can suffer you and, worse, cloud your judgment
about how to proceed into the future. The consequences of too much rumination are focusing on problems rather
than solutions, sacrificing the present moment, and losing productive time, sleep, and healthy relationships. Have
you ever tried talking about yourself in the third person? The practice, called illeism, is a form of “self-distancing”
that allows us to avoid Solomon’s paradox (所罗门悖论): the idea that we are great at applying wise reasoning to
others’ lives but terrible at applying it to our own. Distancing ourselves from our problems helps us to see them as
clearly as we would another person’s.
That’s why illeism is a powerful method for breaking the cycle of rumination. It allows you to observe your
thoughts and feelings objectively rather than getting caught up in an emotional storm. By referring to yourself as
he, she, or they — or whatever third-person pronoun you prefer — you separate from the immediate experience and
gain a broader perspective.
According to Grossmann’s study, you might practice illeism during a daily 15-minute morning brain release,
which will not only reduce rumination and make you wiser but also relieve negative feelings that drive you to
distraction. If you’re not the type to keep a diary, you can get those same benefits by visualizing your conflicts from
a third-person perspective or relaying them to yourself in the third person, either aloud or in your head.
8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of too much rumination?
A. Focusing on problems rather than solutions.
B. Losing productive time.
C. Increasing enjoyment of life.
D. Sacrificing the present moment.
9. Why might illeism be considered effective in reducing rumination?
A. It helps to increase emotional intensity towards problems.
B. It makes one more focused on immediate emotional reactions.C. It encourages reflecting on past mistakes.
D. It allows for a more objective view of one’s thoughts and feelings.
10. According to Grossmann’s study, what is a recommended practice to reduce rumination?
A. Talking to others about your problems.
B. Writing a daily diary entry.
C. Avoiding all emotional thoughts.
D. Ignoring your feelings and focusing solely on solutions.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Overthinking can negatively impact mental health, but self-distancing techniques like illeism can help reduce
this effect.
B. Reflection on past conflicts is essential for personal growth and emotional well-being.
C. Emotional intensity is crucial for understanding and resolving personal issues.
D. Keeping a diary is the most effective way to deal with unresolved conflicts.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

议用第三人称角度方法（illeism）可以减少这方面的影响。

unhappiness. It is a psychological tendency that, if left unchecked, can reduce our enjoyment of life, ensuring we
are never satisfied for long. (反刍思维或‘过度思考’是心理健康状况不佳和不快乐的标志。这是一种心理
倾向，如果不加以控制，会减少我们对生活的享受，确保我们永远不会满足。)”可知，过度思考会减少我
们对生活的享受，所以C项Increasing enjoyment of life(增加生活乐趣)表达不正确。故选C项。

三人称中大声或在脑海中向自己传达冲突，从而获得同样的好处。)”可知，写日记和用第三人称角度方式
一样，可以减少过度思考。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Rumination, or ‘overthinking’, is a hallmark of poor mental health and
unhappiness. It is a psychological tendency that, if left unchecked, can reduce our enjoyment of life, ensuring we
are never satisfied for long. (反刍思维或‘过度思考’是心理健康状况不佳和不快乐的标志。这是一种心理

illeism is a powerful method for breaking the cycle of rumination. It allows you to observe your thoughts and
feelings objectively rather than getting caught up in an emotional storm.(这就是为什么第三人称角度方法
（illeism）是打破沉思循环的有力方法。它使你能够客观地观察自己的想法和感受，而不是陷入情绪风

excitement. As he was leaving home, his dad grabbed him by the hand and said, “Before you go, just let me know
the details of the trip.”

“Fine.” Kevin told him the directions and left.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了目光接触在交流中的作用。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：目光接触是一种强有力的非语言交流形式，它在传递情感和建立人际关系方面起着至关
重要的作用。此处泛指“一种强有力的非语言交流形式”，使用不定冠词修饰，powerful是以辅音音素开
头的单词，故填a。【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Eye contact，关系词在从句中作主语，
使用关系代词which引导，故填which。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当我们进行目光接触时，它表示关注和兴趣，使对话更有吸引力和意义。句子谓
语动词是signals，空格处使用非谓语动词，表示自然而然的结果，使用现在分词作结果状语，故填
making。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：例如，在讨论过程中保持目光接触可以表明我们在积极倾听并重视对方的话。空处修饰
动词listening，应用副词形式，故填actively。
【40题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：此外，目光接触也会影响别人对我们的看法。主语we和动词
perceive“认为，理解”之间是被动关系，且句子是描述一个事实，使用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are
perceived。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：它通常传达自信和真诚，而避免目光接触可能被解释为不感兴趣或逃避。空处和名词
sincerity并列作宾语，应用名词confidence“自信”，故填confidence。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。空处应填名词作宾语，结合“or avoidance”可知，此处指“不感兴趣”，使用名
词disinterest，故填disinterest。
【43题详解】
考查动词。句意：然而，应该考虑到文化差异，因为目光接触的适当性和解释可能会有所不同。情态动词
can后接动词原形，variety变成动词vary“变化”。故填vary。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：无论如何，掌握目光接触对我们来说是很重要的，它将改善人际交往，加强关系。
it是形式主语，空处使用动词不定式作真正的主语，it is significant for sb. to do sth.为固定句型，表示“对
某人来说做某事是重要的”故填to master。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：同上。interaction用作可数名词，前面无限定词，此处使用名词复数形式，表示泛
指，故填interactions。

第二节(满分25分)
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 chose to hurriedly shut the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling
the things. But around Easter time this year, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind towards
these “unexpected visitors”.
Alice who recently moved to a new neighborhood, had been housebound(足不出户的)all week suffering from
the severe flu when, early one morning, there was the annoying knock on the door. Peering out the window, she saw
two young ladies seriously holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew a large TV set establishment nearby and
assumed a message was about to be delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and
hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them that she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in
any TV products. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely
turned and left in silence. A few hours later, the same two ladies were back again. Really annoyed this time, she
opened the door ready to give them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, these women, with concerned looks
on their faces, handed Alice a dish, saying “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this
homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel better.” Alice was surprised by this lovely gesture. Being
new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbors or people who could assist her with shopping so the gesture was
really appreciated. She could only smile embarrassedly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.
After Alice told this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed was. Especially in today’s world where
sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is
the real essence of love.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;2.开头语已给出。
Alice, deeply touched by this unexpected kindness, decided to reciprocate(回报) in her own way.

【答案】
Alice, deeply touched by this unexpected kindness, decided to reciprocate (回报) in her own way. She spent the
whole afternoon baking a large batch of her favorite muffins. Then she carefully wrote a thank-you note, expressing
her deep gratitude for their kindness. The next day, she went to the local TV store where the two ladies worked and
presented the muffins and the note to them. They were extremely touched and surprised by her gesture. This small
act of reciprocity strengthened the bond between them.
As time went by, Alice and the two ladies became good friends. They often visited each other, sharing their daily
lives, dreams, and even family stories. Whenever one of them was in trouble, the other two would be there to offer
support. Their friendship became a beautiful example in the neighborhood, inspiring more people to be kind and
helpful to others. They learned that even a small act of kindness could create a deep and lasting connection.
