Imagine a potter(陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay(黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel. The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 24.What does the author compare our surroundings to? A.The potter. B.The clay. C.The pottery wheel. D.The container. 25.Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A.Dull. B.Painful. C.Rewarding. D.Thrilling. 26.Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A.People who motivate them to advance.B.People who match their level of intellect. C.People who work in the same area as they do. D.People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 27.What is the message conveyed in the text? A.Toughness leads to success. B.Positivity outweighs hard work. C.Birds of a feather gather together. D.Success loves a successful company. Do you know what percentage of your family’s total expenses is spent on food? This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数), an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food. However, recently, a topic has gone viral (迅速走红) on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China. One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people. ” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. The food culture in China is rich and diverse, and people are willing to spend more money and energy on it. “In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented on Sina Weibo. Food in China is a science, a social activity, and an art, according to China Highlights. The principles of traditional Chinese medicine are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant, or at someone's home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share. “Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance ( 治 理 ) to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals. ” These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society, as reported Guangming Daily.28.What does the Engel coefficient indicate? A.The lowest standard of living. B.The cost of basic living expenses. C.The share of income spent on food. D.The quality of meals people can afford. 29.Why do many people question the relevance of the Engel coefficient in China? A.Rising living standards have made it less relevant. B.Chinese food culture and consumption habits are unique. C.The Engel coefficient is an outdated economic concept. D.China has a completely different economic system. 30.What is the purpose of mentioning the Sina Weibo user’s words in the text? A.To highlight the user’s unique spending habits. B.To emphasize the importance of saving money. C.To show the user’s changing income and spending patterns. D.To illustrate the significance of food in Chinese culture. 31.What role does food play in Chinese culture according to Wang Xuetai? A.It reflects people’s focus on health. B.It shapes modern consumer trends. C.It is a tool for economic governance. D.It connects spiritual values and social life. A quote from the American writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, reads, “To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.” Often, we clamor (大声地要求) to be right, to dazzle people with our knowledge and intellect, to show them we are the “superior know-it-all”. However, upon reflection, I find that Fitzgerald’s quote resonates with me more. In this fast-paced, competitive society, most people would want to strive for excellence, to be the best they can be. There is nothing wrong with this. However, there are certain individuals who take it a step further and make it their personal motto to exhibit their one-upmanship (胜人一筹) against anyone whose views differ from theirs. They believe intensely that their values and their knowledge are flawless. Often such people will out-talk those who disagree with them. While they may have seemingly won the argument, is there any real meaning to this? Both parties are likely to dig their heels in and unlikely to admit they are wrong, until one side gives in or gives up.In contrast, I believe it is far more important to be kind than right. Even if we know we are right, we do not have to press our views on others. We should in fact listen more, and learn to appreciate viewpoints that are different from ours. As the famed American educator Stephen Covey once said, “Seek first to understand, then be understood.” Often, we listen not to understand but to contradict the other person. In an argument with someone, we do not even listen to what the other person has to say because while they talk, we are already mentally trying to find ways to shoot down their ideas. It would be far better to silence our minds and to actually pay attention to what the other person is saying. Moreover, the insistence on being right all the time comes with its own extra damage — human relationships are hurt in the process. To prove we are right, we become judgmental. We consider the other person to be less worthy because they are “wrong”. To be right means we put ourselves in the front and center of the relationship, ignoring the feelings of the other party. Friendships and even family relationships become tense just for the sake of winning the argument, when love and empathy would have worked better to ease the tension. 32.Why does the author mention Fitzgerald’s quote in the first paragraph? A.To present the fact. B.To make a contrast. C.To introduce the topic. D.To provide an example. 33.Which best explains the underlined phrase “dig their heels in”? A.Admit one’s mistake. B.Win an argument. C.Accept others’ views. D.Stick to one’s points. 34.According to paragraph 3, why do people often listen in an argument? A.To oppose others’ ideas. B.To appreciate different views. C.To silence others’ minds. D.To seek mutual understanding. 35.Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A.Arguing enables us to get closer to the truth. B.Life is not a race about being right or wrong. C.Quality human relationships are easy to hurt. D.Striving for excellence causes most arguments. Is studying 12 hours a day possible? This is a question that many students ask themselves when faced with a heavy workload or upcoming exams. 36 It’s important to assess your own capabilities and limitations. Not everyone can maintain focus for such long periods of time, so be realistic about what you can handle. Consider the quality of your study sessions rather than just the quantity of hours spent. It’s better to have shorter but more focused study sessions to absorb information effectively than longer sessions. 37 Ourbrains need time to rest and recharge in order to store information. So, make sure to schedule a short rest every hour or two. Moreover, creating a structured schedule and sticking to it can help maximize productivity. 38 One of the biggest challenges when it comes to studying for long hours is maintaining concentration. It’s easy to get distracted or lose focus when you’re spending extended periods of time studying. 39 Create a good study environment. Find a quiet and comfortable place where you won’t be easily disturbed. Remove any distractions such as your phone or social media notifications. 40 This could include reminder devices, mind maps, or even teaching the material to others. By actively engaging with the content, you’ll find it easier to concentrate for longer periods. Another helpful tip is to prioritize quality sleep and physical exercise alongside your studies to make your brain and body better equipped for extended periods of focused work. A.Furthermore, taking regular breaks is essential. B.Remember that you have your own pace of learning. C.The answer is both yes and no, as it depends on several factors. D.Generally speaking, the more hours you spend, the better you will learn. E.Set specific goals for each study session and track your progress along the way. F.Additionally, use various study techniques to keep yourself engaged in learning. G.However, with a few strategies, you can study for long hours with concentration. 三、完形填空 It was late October in 1997.

She had been sharing Sprite for nearly a year, ever since she and Hollie, his owner, had started a friendship. Hollie was a bit older than Sophie, but the two of them got on so well it never seemed to matter. Sophi e loved going to shows to help Hollie out when she was competing, holding Sprite’s reins (缰绳) while Hollie adjusted her helmet, and cheering from the sidelines. But Sophie’s favourite part of the week was her share days when she could ride, brush, and play with Sprite as if he were her own. As Sophie got closer to the yard, she spotted a familiar figure by the gate. Hollie was there, waving. It was unusual to see Hollie at the yard on a weekday like this, and Sophie felt a small flutter of nerves. But she brushed it off. Maybe Hollie just wanted to chat or tell her about an upcoming show. Once Sophie had cooled Sprite down and returned him to his stable (马厩), she found Hollie waiting in the tack room. The smile on Hollie’s face wasn’t as bright as usual. “Hey, Soph, can we talk for a minute?” Hollie asked. Sophie nodded, her heart beating a little faster. Hollie sat down on a blanket box, and Sophie followed, still holding her riding gloves in her hand. “Sophie, I’ve got some news.” Hollie began, her voice gentle. “You knowI’m finishing school this year, right? Well, I’ve decided to go to university. And with me being away, I won’t be able to take care of Sprite anymore.” Sophie’s stomach dropped. “Oh,” she whispered. Hollie took a deep breath. “I’ve talked it over with my parents, and we’ve decided that the best thing to do is to sell him. I hate to do it, but it’s the right choice. I want to tell you first because I know how much you love him.” 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。 Sophie’s throat tightened, and for a moment she couldn’t speak._______________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, one evening, Hollie called, “Sophie, good news!”_______________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B A A A B C C A B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C B C A C C C C A B 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B B A A C A D C B D 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D C D A B C A E G F 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B D A C A D B C A D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B C A D B 1.B 【原文】M: I’m going to take over my dad’s business and run the farm when I leave school.

I invited you out to this restaurant. I’d love the chance to repay you. M: That’s so sweet. W: Thank you again. Or next time, maybe you can come to my place for dinner. 5.B 【原文】M: I’ve been waiting for the file to download for half an hour, and it’s only at 60%. W: It should not be taking that long. The Internet is good, so try to restart your computer. 6.C 7.C 【原文】M: My sister loves online shopping. She orders products almost every day. I don’t understand why she doesn’t go to the mall instead. W: Maybe she can’t find goods that she likes there. For me, I buy everything online — food, kitchen supplies, clothes and so on. M: But I think getting clothes from physical shops is better. You don’t have to wait, and you can try things before buying! W: Well, I understand how you feel. But online shopping is really convenient when you don’t have time to go in person! 8.A 9.B 【原文】M: How did you open the door? I didn’t see you use a key. W: Oh, that’s my new front door lock. It only opens if it can see my face. M: How does that work? Do you have to download a program for your phone? W: No, just my face. It’s a cool piece of technology that I bought from a shop nearby. See this small screen by the front door? It takes a photo and checks on its system to see whether it’s me or not.M: What? And if it realizes it’s you, it just opens up? W: Yes! Plus it has a security camera. So, even if I’m in my office, I can see everything happens in front of my house through it. M: That’s amazing! 10.C 11.C 12.B 【原文】W: So, what do you think of the apartment? M: It’s just what I’m looking for. It’s nice and big. The rent is affordable. It’s close to where I work, and I still can’t believe it has a garden! W: I’m so glad you like it! M: If it’s OK with you, I’ll take it! W: I’d be very happy to rent it to you. M: Fantastic! So, what happens next? W: Well, I have some papers that you’ll need to sign. M: Of course. The rent is £700 per month, right? W: Yes, and I prefer to get the first month’s rent plus an extra £500 in advance, in case any damage is done to the apartment. M: No problem. W: I’ll return this to you when you leave, assuming everything is left in good condition. M: OK. Does the building allow pets? W: No dogs or birds. They’re too noisy. But quiet animals such as cats are welcome. 13.C 14.A 15.C 16.C 【原文】W: I’m so excited about the school play. I have a big role, and I have to learn a lot of lines. I’ve been in several plays, so I’m not worried. M: That’s so cool. I wish I had the confidence to do that. It seems like it would be fun, but I’ve never acted before. I’m too nervous. W: Oh, you should do it. We really need more actors. I’ve asked everyone I know to join…my friends, my brothers, and even my next-door neighbors. But no one wants to. M: Hmm, maybe I will. I love the story of Beauty and the Beast. W: Me too. And I’m playing Belle, the main girl in the play. You could try out for the Beast. Though he is one of the main roles, he doesn’t really talk that much. Or you could take one of the small roles, like Belle’s father or a person in the crowd. That would be easier.M: I’d like to challenge myself and play the main role. I promised myself that I would try new things and make more friends this year. This is the perfect chance to do that. 17.C 18.C 19.A 20.B 【原文】 Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to join me in this press conference today. After 23 years of playing football at the highest level, I have taken the decision to retire at the end of the season. I know this won’t come as a huge shock to most people, given that I’m now 41! Although my legs are getting less flexible, my mind is as sharp as ever. I believe I still have what it takes to play football at this level. However, my body doesn’t agree! It takes me longer to recover after games, and I get hurt more easily. My body keeps sending signals that it can’t take anymore. I just want to thank the football club for their support over the years, and all my teammates. But mostly I want to thank all of you — my fans. Thank you all for cheering me on during the good times, and picking me up during the bad times. I’ve loved every minute of playing for this wonderful club. I wish you all the very best for the future. Goodbye, and thank you once again for everything. 21.B 22.B 23.A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了华威大学预科暑期学校,包括学习内容、录取要求和语言要求 等。 21.推理判断题。根据第一段中“If you are an enthusiastic and motivated 16-17 year old student, looking for a summer experience to inspire and enlighten you, our Warwick Pre-University Summer School is for you.

(没有特定学科的标准,但你必须是一个充满激情的学习者。)”可知,被录取者必须 是一个充满激情的学习者;由此可知,学生被录取的要求之一是“必须是热情的学习者”。故选B项。 23.推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“If you are an enthusiastic and motivated 16-17 year old student, looking for a summer experience to inspire and enlighten you, our Warwick Pre-University Summer School is for you. (如 果你是一名16-17岁的热情和有动力的学生,正在寻找一次暑期体验来激励和启发你,我们的华威大学预 科暑期学校正是为你而设。)”以及下文对课程信息、入学标准、语言要求和签证要求等详细介绍可知,本文是华威大学预科暑期学校的招生简介,由此可知,文章更可能出自于大学网站。故选A项。 24.A 25.C 26.A 27.D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文,通过对陶工和黏土的比喻,讲述了环境对我们成长的塑造作用,强调要与激 励我们进步的人为伍,从而实现自我提升。 24.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings—the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. (正如陶工将黏土塑造成容器一样,我们的生活也被环境所塑造——我们遇到的人、去过 的地方、每一次交谈和经验都在塑造我们是谁)”可知,作者将我们的环境比作陶工,环境对我们的成长起 到塑造作用。故选A。 25.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. (一开始高中确实令人害怕。我发现周围的人比我想象的更聪明、更聪慧、更 漂亮。相比之下,我感到自惭形秽,但正是在这种不适中,我找到了成长)”可知,作者面对更优秀的同伴, 初时有压力但随后通过竞争实现了成长,因此可以用“rewarding”(回报丰厚的、有收获的)来描述作者的高 中体验。故选C。 26.细节理解题。根据第六段“To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve.

They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher..(所以,找到你 的人,那些会激励和提升你的人,他们拥有你想要的品质。他们不会直接把成功交到你手里,而是迫使你 不断提升自己)”以及全文核心思想强调与优秀的人为伍,以提升自我。故“Success loves a successful company (成功者喜欢结交成功者)”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 28.C 29.B 30.D 31.D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了恩格尔系数这一经济概念在中国受到质疑的原因,以及中国独特 的饮食文化和消费习惯对恩格尔系数的影响。 28.细节理解题。根据第二段中“This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient, an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. (这是恩格尔系数的主要关注点,恩格尔系数 是一个描述收入和食品支出之间关系的经济概念)”可知,恩格尔系数表示的是收入中用于食品支出的比例。故选C项。 29.细节理解题。根据第三段“However, recently a topic has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China. (然而,最近一个话 题在中国社交媒体平台上迅速走红,许多人开始质疑恩格尔系数在中国是否相关)”以及第四段中“This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. (这凸显了中国饮食文化和消费习惯与西方国家的显著差异)”可知,许多人质疑恩格尔系数在中国 的相关性,是因为中国的饮食文化和消费习惯具有独特性。故选B项。 30.推理判断题。根据第五段““In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented on Sina Weibo.(“过去,我每天挣100元,一半花在吃饭上。现在我每天挣1000元,但我还是要 把一半的钱花在吃饭上。一顿好饭让我的一天都很开心,”一位湖南用户在新浪微博上评论道。)”及第六 段中“Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art, according to China Highlights. (据《中国亮点》报 道,在中国,饮食是一门科学、一项社会活动和一门艺术)”以及下文对饮食在中国文化中的重要性的描述, 可推知,文中提到新浪微博用户的话是为了举例说明食物在中国文化中的重要性。故选D项。 31.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals. ”(“中国精神文化的许 多方面都与食物有关,从治理到交流,”中国社会科学院教授王学泰告诉《光明日报》。“中国传统文化 注重从食物的角度看待社会和生活,中国人非常善于享受日常饮食中的美和意义。”)”可知,王学泰认为 食物在中国文化中连接了精神价值和社会生活。故选D项。 32.C 33.D 34.A 35.B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了善良比正确更重要,人们应该学会倾听和欣赏不同的观点, 而不是一味地坚持自己的观点,伤害人际关系。 32.推理判断题。根据第一段“A quote from the American writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, reads, “To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.” Often, we clamor (大声地要求) to be right, to dazzle people with our knowledge and intellect, to show them we are the “superior know-it-all”. However, upon reflection, I find that Fitzgerald’s quote resonates with me more.(引用美国作家F.Scott Fitzgerald的话:“善良比正确更重要。很多时候,人们需要的不是一个会说话 的聪明头脑,而是一颗会倾听的特别的心。”我们经常大声要求正确,用我们的知识和智慧让人眼花缭乱,向他们展示我们是“无所不知的卓越者”。然而,经过反思,我发现Fitzgerald的话更能引起我的共鸣)”可 知,菲茨杰拉德的引言,引出了本文要讨论的话题,即善良比正确更重要,所以作者在第一段提到菲茨杰 拉德的引言是为了引入话题。故选C。 33.词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“unlikely to admit they are wrong, until one side gives in or gives up.(不 愿意承认自己的错误,直到一方让步或放弃)”可知,双方都可能固执己见,由此可知,“dig their heels in” 指的是“坚守自己的观点或立场”,选项D“Stick to one’s points(坚持自己的观点)”与其意思相近。故选 D。 34.推理判断题。根据第三段“Often, we listen not to understand but to contradict the other person. In an argument with someone, we do not even listen to what the other person has to say because while they talk, we are already mentally trying to find ways to shoot down their ideas.(很多时候,我们倾听不是为了理解,而是为了反 驳对方。在与某人争论时,我们甚至不听对方说什么,因为当他们说话时,我们已经在脑海里试图找到方 法来驳斥他们的想法)”可知,人们在争论中经常倾听是为了反对别人的想法。故选A。 35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moreover, the insistence on being right all the time comes with its own extra damage — human relationships are hurt in the process. To prove we are right, we become judgmental. We consider the other person to be less worthy because they are ‘wrong’.(此外,一直坚持自己是对的也会带来额外的伤害 ——在这个过程中,人际关系会受到伤害。为了证明我们是对的,我们会变得爱评判别人。我们认为对方 不值得,因为他们是‘错的’)”可推知,作者认为生活不是一场关于对错的竞赛,为了证明自己对而去伤 害人际关系是不值得的,所以作者可能会同意“生活不是一场关于对错的竞赛”这一观点。故选B。 36.C 37.A 38.E 39.G 40.F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍能否长时间学习取决于很多因素,可通过创造良好学习环境、设定 目标、使用学习技巧以及保证睡眠和锻炼等策略,来实现长时间专注学习。 36.上文“Is studying 12 hours a day possible?

(为了储存信息,我们的 大脑需要时间休息和充电。)”可推知上文应强调休息的重要性,所以A选项“此外,定期休息是至关重要 的。”符合题意,能够引出下文休息的内容。故选A。38.根据上文“Moreover, creating a structured schedule and sticking to it can help maximize productivity. (此外, 创建一个结构化的时间表并坚持下去可以帮助最大限度地提高效率。)”可推知下文说明要如何制定计划,E 选项“为每个学习时段设定具体目标,并一路跟踪你的进展。”符合语境。故选E。 39.根据上文“One of the biggest challenges when it comes to studying for long hours is maintaining concentration.

In my opinion, while AI is a beneficial tool, it is not wise of us to rely on it too much. On one hand, AI can help us generate ideas and correct grammar mistakes, which provide convenience and improve efficiency. On the other hand, over-reliance on AI may hinder our ability to think independently and creatively. Writing is not just about putting words together; it’s about expressing our thoughts and emotions. Therefore, I suggest AI should be used as a tool to assist us, rather than replace us. What’s more, we should focus on practicing our writing skills and cultivating our own unique writing style. Only in this way, can we truly improve our academic performance and personal growth. 67.Possible version 1: Sophie’s throat tightened, and for a moment she couldn’t speak. She felt as if she had lost a part of herself.For her, Sprite was not just a pony; he was a dear friend and companion and a source of so much joy. The thought of him being sold to someone else, of never seeing him again, was too overwhelming to bear. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried hard to hold them back. “I understand, Hollie. It’s just really hard to hear.” Her voice trembled with emotion. Hollie reached out and squeezed Sophie’s hand. “I know, Sophie, I wish things could be different.” Then, one evening, Hollie called, “Sophie, good news!” Sophie’s heart leaped. “What is it?” she asked eagerly. Hollie said that her parents and she had had a long talk and they had realized how much Sprite meant to Sophie, deciding not to sell him at last. Instead, they wanted Sophie to have him since she had taken such good care of him and it was only fair for him to stay with someone who loves him. Sophi e was overjoyed. She could hardly believe her ears. “Thank you, Hollie! Thank you so much!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with gratitude and excitement. From that day on, Sophie and Sprite’ s bond grew even stronger, and they continued to enjoy many wonderful rides together. Possible version 2: Sophie’s throat tightened, and for a moment she couldn’t speak. The news hit her like a ton of bricks. Sprite wasn’t just a pony; he was a companion, a confidant, and a cherished part of her life. The thought of him being sold to someone else, of never having those share days again, was too much to bear. She looked at Hollie, her eyes brimming with tears, and finally managed to choke out a single word. “Why?” It was all she could say, her voice trembling with emotion.
