A Hempstead woman who is visually impaired(损害) hosted a fashion show in Valley Stream, featuring 16
models with similar conditions in an event designed to bring awareness to the disabled.
Annalee Smith, 41, who is diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎), which can result in loss of
eyesight, says the show will raise money for the Foundation Fighting Blindness while showing, “regardless of our
disability, we can still threw light on every step that we take through fashion”. Putting together the event has been
her way of trying to change the fashion world.
Originally from Barbados, Smith moved with her family to New York City at age 12 and went through the
Hempstead school district. While at Long Island University in Brooklyn, Smith originally majored in nursing but
changed to occupational therapy(职业疗法) as her eyes got worse. A passion for fashion and modeling always
remained in her. She applied to different model agencies and other opportunities but didn’t hear back except for
one.
A clothes company LaTeffaney Scott holds a model competition, now in its 10th year, in which the winner is
the face of the company for the year. Smith won last year. “No one expects a visually impaired young lady to take
on a runway,” said Scott. “She did some reflection and she came up with this idea of doing the fashion show.”
Kenya Brown, who developed glaucoma(青光眼) shortly after birth, said after finding out about the event viasocial media she wanted to be a part of the message. “I think the general public does not understand that people that
live with disabilities have to actively work to be part of society. Those of us that are able to motivate ourselves
enough to do productive things, or function well in society should be celebrated,” said Brown, who will be one of
the models at the fashion show.
24. Why did Annalee Smith hold the fashion show?
A. To make a big fortune. B. To make herself accepted as a model.
C. To realize her dream in her childhood. D. To help people understand those with disabilities.
25. What made Annalee become a model?
A. Her eye disease. B. Her family’s support.
C. Her major in the college. D. Her love for fashion and modeling.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Annalee Smith?
A. Considerate and stubborn. B. Confident and generous.
C. Determined and ambitious. D. Miserable and respectable.
27. What can we know from Brown’s words in the last paragraph?
A. People with disabilities are working passively.
B. The disabled helpful to society should be praised.
C. All the people with disabilities should be respected.
D. The disabled have the potential to change themselves.

Coffee is one of the world’s favorite drinks that regular drinkers in the US consume more than three times a
day. But the coffee bean itself is under threat from climate change. Now a Finnish research group has planted beans
in the lab to offer the world sustainable coffee.
The result is a drink that smells and tastes almost the same as the conventional coffee. “It’s not perfect,”
admitted lead researcher Heiko Rischer, “because good coffee making is an art, but this could be the start of
something beautiful. I estimate we are only four years away from ramping up production and having regulatory
(监管的) approval from the FDA in place.
Scientists say the issues with coffee as a commercial crop are widely known. However, environmental decline
and climate change are real threats to the practicability of the coffee industry. Deforestation (毁林) alongside water
pollution and biodiversity loss are some of the worst outcomes. Rising temperatures, drought and flood, or pests,
can destroy harvests.
Although growing coffee in bioreactors (生物反应器) takes a lot of energy, chemicals are not needed at all,
and any water employed in the process can be reused. Therefore, lab-grow n coffee could actually do a huge favorfor the planet. We have now proved that lab-grown coffee can be a reality, said Rischer. “The true impact of this
scientific work will happen through companies that are willing to rethink food production. Eventually, all efforts
should result in more sustainable and health y food for the benefit of the consumers and the planet.”
Coffee is one of the growing list of commercial crops that has problems caused by climate change. The
Sustainable Coffee Challenge thinks coffee consumption could be three times as much by 2050, so society will
need to produce the drink in much more efficient ways. Solving some of its toughest problems is a priority, but with
science on our side, at least we have better alternatives.
28. What does the underlined phrase “ramping up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Increasing. B. Delaying. C. Reducing. D. Relieving.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The popularity of coffee.
B. The threats to coffee planting.
C. The necessity of planting lab-grown coffee.
D. The disadvantages of planting lab-grown coffee.
30. What can we know about the lab-grown coffee from the text?
A. It has gained FDA’s approval.
B. It tastes better than the conventional coffee.
C. It will contribute a lot to the consumers and the planet.
.
D It appeals to the companies that emphasize food production.
31. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Lab-grown coffee has become a reality.
B. Coffee bean production is under threat.
C. Drinking coffee is becoming a global trend.
D. Problems of coffee growing will be solved.
D
China’s eight-day Spring Festival holiday for the Year of the Dragon witnessed a booming consumer market,
highlighting the vitality (活力) and strength of the Chinese economy.
Data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism shows that 474 million domestic tourism trips were made
during the Spring Festival holiday, marking a 34.3 percent increase from the same period last year and an increase
of 19 percent compared to the pre-pandemic level in 2019. Domestic tourists spent about 632.69billion yuan
(about $ 89.07 billion)in total, up 7.7 percent from the same period in 2019.
The online transactions (交易) also saw a powerful increase. NetsUnion Clearing Corporation, a Chineseonline payment clearing house, and card payment giant China UnionPay processed about 2.63 billion online
transactions or around 1.25 trillion yuan in value per day from Feb. 9 to 17. The figures represent an increase of
18.6 percent and 8.0 percent respectively compared to the previous Spring Festival holiday.
Different from the Western dragon, the Chinese dragon symbolizes good luck and prosperity in traditional
Chinese culture. Consumption during the festival is encouraging and illustrative of the increasingly important role
that consumption plays in the country’s economic growth. This positive trend marks a solid start for China as it
begins the newyear.
China’s super-large market, ongoing urbanization and evolving consumption structure provide broad space for
consumption growth. And such huge potential will continuously translate into real consumption as the country
expands domestic demand, through developing digital, green and health promotion consumption and boosting
spending on big-ticket item s such as new energy vehicles and electronic products, among other moves.
Given the sustained economic recovery and overall improvement of the employment landscape, residents’
income is expected to continue growing steadily, thereby releasing their purchasing power. The consumption
potential of the Chinese market will be further enhanced this year, boosting the momentum of China’s economic
recovery.
32. What is the purpose of presenting the figures in Paragraph 2 and 3?
A. To highlight the big increase in tourism.
B. To boom the large consumer market in China.
C. To prove the vitality of the Chinese economy.
D. To show online payment is very common in China.
33. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Dragons may stand for misfortune in the west.
B. The Year of the Dragon in the favorite year in China.
C. There must be good luck in the Year of the Dragon in China.
D. People in the west will become more wealthy in the Year of the Dragon.
34. How can China transform the potential market into real consumption according to the passage?
A. By building larger market.
B. By expanding native demand.
C. By evolving consumption structure.
D. By inventing more electronic products.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the Chinese economy?
A. Tolerant. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
Many scientists and marine biologists are quite worried about the state of coral reefs around the globe. They
have been experiencing “bleaching” (白化) which is a process that involves the slow starvation and eventual death
of coral reefs. ____36____ This has huge effects on the organisms that rely on the coral reefs in the ocean and us
humans.
____37____ In the Turks and Caicos Islands, it has been reported that the coral reefs have been relatively
untouched by the bleaching events. Even more surprising is the news that even the ones affected have recovered
very well.
The problem is caused by many reasons. Pollution, introduced species, over-fishing, and over-tourism have all
contributed to the issue. ____38____ Since the 1970’s, about 80% of the coral reefs in the Caribbean have died
out.
An organization has taken steps to help out. They asked divers to observe over 100 reef sites off the South
Caicos Island and set up a database. After scanning the data, they found surprising results. ____39____ But other
corals did suffer bleaching. But they quickly rebounded to normal within months of the irregularly high thermal
stress (热应力).
Two years later, when the same corals were observed, they were even more colored. ____40____ There were
theories that Hurricanes Irma and Maria helped, as they resulted in much less tourism and thus decreased damage to
the surrounding ecosystems.
Experts are continuing to observe the phenomenon to see if there is anything going on that can help save other
reefs.
A. It meant their health improved.
B. So they are dying out at alarming rates.
C. Many coral reefs can survive bleaching.
D. Some corals proved no significant bleaching.
E. The worst of bleaching events took place in 2017.
F. But the coral reefs are doing surprisingly well in one region.
G. The warming temperatures of the oceans have also caused great harm.

In my twenties, I went far from home to study in America. Due to limited financial resources from my parents,
I worked part-time on campus to pay for my bills. In addition, I did cleaning every Friday for an American family.
If I was lucky enough, I could occasionally babysit a child for extra money.Like most poor people, I had to be careful with every penny I spent, from food and clothing to rent and
transportation. Because of a tight grocery budget, I couldn’t afford to buy fish, beef or certain other nutritious food.
Due to an imbalanced diet, I would easily feel weak and tired.
,
As soon as Dai Mom realized that I was encountering financial hardship she lovingly invited me to her home
for dinner every Friday and weekend. In addition, whenever it was time to return home, she would always prepare
me with some homemade dessert or food to take home. Her kind actions, like the seeds of love planted in my heart,
profoundly changed my life. In particular, there was one event that I would always remember.
One early evening, while I was walking out of the library, I felt my blood sugar running low. I started to feel
dizzy, and my hands started to shake a little. Searching my pockets, I found that I only had a few dollars left. I was
dying for a free and tasty dinner. Without a second thought, I quickly headed for Dai Mom’s home, rather than go
back to my apartment.
As I got to the door, Dai Mom immediately noticed my fatigue (疲劳). She seated me at the dining table, and
before long, a plate of food was set in front of me on the table. “Have dinner. Don’t make yourself work so hard,”
she said to me with a nice smile.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

B. The benefits of the Screen Machine.
C. The cost of building a mobile cinema.【答案】17. C 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】I live on an island off the west coast of Scotland. I love it but a trip to the cinema means a 55-minute
boat journey plus a half-hour drive to the nearest town. That’s why we all get excited about the Screen Machine. It’s
a mobile cinema that travels round the Scottish islands. Sometimes we get to see the latest movies.
You can’t miss the huge, bright blue Screen Machine when it comes into the car park. It takes an hour to
change it into a comfortable, air-conditioned 80-seat cinema. It’s amazing.
I really admire the Screen Machine’s driver. Of course, he shows the movies. And there is always another
person selling tickets. The salt in the sea air isn’t good for the truck’s motors so they also need a mechanic. Ticket
prices are very reasonable, so as soon as the Screen Machine arrives, the ticket office phone starts ringing. We can
now also book in advance on the Screen Machine website, which makes it even more convenient. And that’s the
way most people choose now. It’s an amazing service.

BA Hempstead woman who is visually impaired(损害) hosted a fashion show in Valley Stream, featuring 16
models with similar conditions in an event designed to bring awareness to the disabled.
Annalee Smith, 41, who is diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎), which can result in loss of
eyesight, says the show will raise money for the Foundation Fighting Blindness while showing, “regardless of our
disability, we can still threw light on every step that we take through fashion”. Putting together the event has been
her way of trying to change the fashion world.
Originally from Barbados, Smith moved with her family to New York City at age 12 and went through the
Hempstead school district. While at Long Island University in Brooklyn, Smith originally majored in nursing but
changed to occupational therapy(职业疗法) as her eyes got worse. A passion for fashion and modeling always
remained in her. She applied to different model agencies and other opportunities but didn’t hear back except for
one.
A clothes company LaTeffaney Scott holds a model competition, now in its 10th year, in which the winner is
the face of the company for the year. Smith won last year. “No one expects a visually impaired young lady to take
on a runway,” said Scott. “She did some reflection and she came up with this idea of doing the fashion show.”
Kenya Brown, who developed glaucoma(青光眼) shortly after birth, said after finding out about the event via
social media she wanted to be a part of the message. “I think the general public does not understand that people that
live with disabilities have to actively work to be part of society. Those of us that are able to motivate ourselves
enough to do productive things, or function well in society should be celebrated,” said Brown, who will be one of
the models at the fashion show.
24. Why did Annalee Smith hold the fashion show?
A. To make a big fortune. B. To make herself accepted as a model.
C. To realize her dream in her childhood. D. To help people understand those with disabilities.
25. What made Annalee become a model?
A. Her eye disease. B. Her family’s support.
C. Her major in the college. D. Her love for fashion and modeling.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Annalee Smith?
A. Considerate and stubborn. B. Confident and generous.
C. Determined and ambitious. D. Miserable and respectable.
27. What can we know from Brown’s words in the last paragraph?
A. People with disabilities are working passively.
B. The disabled helpful to society should be praised.
C. All the people with disabilities should be respected.D. The disabled have the potential to change themselves.

Coffee is one of the world’s favorite drinks that regular drinkers in the US consume more than three times a
day. But the coffee bean itself is under threat from climate change. Now a Finnish research group has planted beans
in the lab to offer the world sustainable coffee.
The result is a drink that smells and tastes almost the same as the conventional coffee. “It’s not perfect,”
admitted lead researcher Heiko Rischer, “because good coffee making is an art, but this could be the start of
something beautiful. I estimate we are only four years away from ramping up production and having regulatory
(监管的) approval from the FDA in place.
Scientists say the issues with coffee as a commercial crop are widely known. However, environmental decline
and climate change are real threats to the practicability of the coffee industry. Deforestation (毁林) alongside water
pollution and biodiversity loss are some of the worst outcomes. Rising temperatures, drought and flood, or pests,
can destroy harvests.
Although growing coffee in bioreactors (生物反应器) takes a lot of energy, chemicals are not needed at all,
and any water employed in the process can be reused. Therefore, lab-grow n coffee could actually do a huge favor
for the planet. We have now proved that lab-grown coffee can be a reality, said Rischer. “The true impact of this
scientific work will happen through companies that are willing to rethink food production. Eventually, all efforts
should result in more sustainable and health y food for the benefit of the consumers and the planet.”
Coffee is one of the growing list of commercial crops that has problems caused by climate change. TheSustainable Coffee Challenge thinks coffee consumption could be three times as much by 2050, so society will
need to produce the drink in much more efficient ways. Solving some of its toughest problems is a priority, but with
science on our side, at least we have better alternatives.
28. What does the underlined phrase “ramping up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Increasing. B. Delaying. C. Reducing. D. Relieving.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The popularity of coffee.
B. The threats to coffee planting.
C. The necessity of planting lab-grown coffee.
D. The disadvantages of planting lab-grown coffee.
30. What can we know about the lab-grown coffee from the text?
A. It has gained FDA’s approval.
B. It tastes better than the conventional coffee.
C. It will contribute a lot to the consumers and the planet.
D. It appeals to the companies that emphasize food production.
31. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Lab-grown coffee has become a reality.
B. Coffee bean production is under threat.
C. Drinking coffee is becoming a global trend.
D. Problems of coffee growing will be solved.

健康的食品选择。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“It’s not perfect,” admitted lead researcher Heiko Rischer, “because good coffee
making is an art, but this could be the start of something beautiful. I estimate we are only four years away from ramping
up production and having regulatory (监管的) approval from the FDA in place.(这并不完美，因为好的咖啡制作
是一门艺术，但这可能是美好事物的开始。我估计我们距离ramping up 生产和获得FDA的监管批准只有四
年的时间)”可知，这种实验室种植的咖啡并不完美，还需继续研究，所以增加它的生产还需四年时间，可
推理出“ramping up”在这里意思为“增加”。故选A项。【29题详解】

China’s eight-day Spring Festival holiday for the Year of the Dragon witnessed a booming consumer market,
highlighting the vitality (活力) and strength of the Chinese economy.
Data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism shows that 474 million domestic tourism trips were made
during the Spring Festival holiday, marking a 34.3 percent increase from the same period last year and an increase
of 19 percent compared to the pre-pandemic level in 2019. Domestic tourists spent about 632.69billion yuan
(about $ 89.07 billion)in total, up 7.7 percent from the same period in 2019.
The online transactions (交易) also saw a powerful increase. NetsUnion Clearing Corporation, a Chinese
online payment clearing house, and card payment giant China UnionPay processed about 2.63 billion online
transactions or around 1.25 trillion yuan in value per day from Feb. 9 to 17. The figures represent an increase of
18.6 percent and 8.0 percent respectively compared to the previous Spring Festival holiday.
Different from the Western dragon, the Chinese dragon symbolizes good luck and prosperity in traditional
Chinese culture. Consumption during the festival is encouraging and illustrative of the increasingly important role
that consumption plays in the country’s economic growth. This positive trend marks a solid start for China as it
begins the newyear.
China’s super-large market, ongoing urbanization and evolving consumption structure provide broad space for
consumption growth. And such huge potential will continuously translate into real consumption as the country
expands domestic demand, through developing digital, green and health promotion consumption and boosting
spending on big-ticket item s such as new energy vehicles and electronic products, among other moves.
Given the sustained economic recovery and overall improvement of the employment landscape, residents’
income is expected to continue growing steadily, thereby releasing their purchasing power. The consumption
potential of the Chinese market will be further enhanced this year, boosting the momentum of China’s economic
recovery.
32. What is the purpose of presenting the figures in Paragraph 2 and 3?
A. To highlight the big increase in tourism.
B. To boom the large consumer market in China.
C. To prove the vitality of the Chinese economy.
D. To show online payment is very common in China.33. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Dragons may stand for misfortune in the west.
B. The Year of the Dragon in the favorite year in China.
C. There must be good luck in the Year of the Dragon in China.
D. People in the west will become more wealthy in the Year of the Dragon.
34. How can China transform the potential market into real consumption according to the passage?
A. By building larger market.
B. By expanding native demand.
C. By evolving consumption structure.
D. By inventing more electronic products.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the Chinese economy?
A. Tolerant. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
Many scientists and marine biologists are quite worried about the state of coral reefs around the globe. They
have been experiencing “bleaching” (白化) which is a process that involves the slow starvation and eventual death
of coral reefs. ____36____ This has huge effects on the organisms that rely on the coral reefs in the ocean and us
humans.
____37____ In the Turks and Caicos Islands, it has been reported that the coral reefs have been relatively
untouched by the bleaching events. Even more surprising is the news that even the ones affected have recovered
very well.
The problem is caused by many reasons. Pollution, introduced species, over-fishing, and over-tourism have all
contributed to the issue. ____38____ Since the 1970’s, about 80% of the coral reefs in the Caribbean have died
out.
An organization has taken steps to help out. They asked divers to observe over 100 reef sites off the South
Caicos Island and set up a database. After scanning the data, they found surprising results. ____39____ But other
corals did suffer bleaching. But they quickly rebounded to normal within months of the irregularly high thermalstress (热应力).
Two years later, when the same corals were observed, they were even more colored. ____40____ There were
theories that Hurricanes Irma and Maria helped, as they resulted in much less tourism and thus decreased damage to
the surrounding ecosystems.
Experts are continuing to observe the phenomenon to see if there is anything going on that can help save other
reefs.
A. It meant their health improved.
B. So they are dying out at alarming rates.
C. Many coral reefs can survive bleaching.
D. Some corals proved no significant bleaching.
E. The worst of bleaching events took place in 2017.
F. But the coral reefs are doing surprisingly well in one region.
G. The warming temperatures of the oceans have also caused great harm.
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. D 40. A
【解析】

and eventual death of coral reefs. (他们一直在经历“白化”，这是一个涉及珊瑚礁缓慢饥饿和最终死亡的过
程。)”可知，珊瑚正在死亡，与B项“So they are dying out at alarming rates. (因此，它们正在以惊人的速
度消亡。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。

that are naturally available. Grasses, roots, berries and edible seaweed ____60____ (collect) and kept. In fact,
there are ____61____ (vary) of different hunting technologies that the Inuit use ____62____ (gather) their food.

flat bottom, which are made of wood _____65_____ (cover) with animal skins, for transporting people, goods,
and dogs. In winter, both on land and on sea ice, the Inuit use dog sleds for transportation.
【答案】56. and
57. commonly58. an 59. it
60. are collected
61. varieties
62. to gather
63. who##that
64. with 65. covered
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了因纽特人的生活方式，包括他们的传统职业、饮食习惯、狩
猎技术，以及他们使用的交通工具。
【56题详解】
考查连词。句意：他们传统上是渔民和猎人，并且他们仍然捕猎鲸鱼、海豹、北极熊、鸟类和鱼类。根据
句意可知，前后两个句子之间是并列关系，所以使用并列连词and连接两个分句。故填and。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：有时他们也捕猎其他不太常吃的动物，比如北极狐。修饰过去分词eaten，应使用副词
commonly作状语，意为“ 通常，常常”。故填commonly。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在他们的传统饮食中，因纽特人平均每天摄入的能量中有75%来自脂肪。average意为
“平均数”时，是可数名词，此处表示泛指，其前应用不定冠词修饰，又因average发音以元音音素开头，
所以用an。故填an。
【59题详解】
考查代词。句意：虽然在北极播种植物或食物是不可能的，但因纽特人传统上会收集那些自然生长的食物。
it be+adj.+to do是固定句型，意为“做……是……的”，其中it作主语，真正的主语是不定式短语。故填
it。
【60题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：草、根、浆果和可食用的海藻被收集并保存起来。collect(收集)是句中谓
语动词，与主语Grasses, roots, berries and edible seaweed(草、根、浆果和可食用的海藻)之间是被动关系，
描述因纽特人的生活习惯，是习惯性行为，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语是复数名词，所以谓语动词也
应使用复数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的被动语态，复数形式。故填are collected。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：事实上，因纽特人使用各种不同的狩猎技术来收集他们的食物。varieties of是固定短语，
表示“各种各样的”，作定语。故填varieties。
【62题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：事实上，因纽特人使用各种不同的狩猎技术来收集他们的食物。use...to do...为固
定搭配，意为“使用……来做……”用不定式to gather作目的状语。故填to gather。
【63题详解】
的
考查定语从句。句意：这种设计被欧洲人和美国人模仿，他们仍然以因纽特人 名字kayak生产它们。
“_____ still produce them under the Inuit name kayak”限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Europeans and
Americans，指人，关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词who或者that引导该定语从句。
故填who/that。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：因纽特人还制造了宽敞的平底敞篷船，这些船由覆盖着动物皮毛的木头制成，用于运输
人员、货物和狗。根据句意可知，此处表示“带有……的”，所以应用介词with。故填with。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因纽特人还制造了宽敞的平底敞篷船，这些船由覆盖着动物皮毛的木头制成，用
于运输人员、货物和狗。“(cover) with animal skins”作后置定语，cover(覆盖)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主
语wood之间是被动关系，应用过去分词covered表被动。故填covered。

第二节（满分25分）
67. 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。
In my twenties, I went far from home to study in America. Due to limited financial resources from my parents,
I worked part-time on campus to pay for my bills. In addition, I did cleaning every Friday for an American family.
If I was lucky enough, I could occasionally babysit a child for extra money.
Like most poor people, I had to be careful with every penny I spent, from food and clothing to rent andtransportation. Because of a tight grocery budget, I couldn’t afford to buy fish, beef or certain other nutritious food.
Due to an imbalanced diet, I would easily feel weak and tired.
As soon as Dai Mom realized that I was encountering financial hardship, she lovingly invited me to her home
for dinner every Friday and weekend. In addition, whenever it was time to return home, she would always prepare
me with some homemade dessert or food to take home. Her kind actions, like the seeds of love planted in my heart,
profoundly changed my life. In particular, there was one event that I would always remember.
One early evening, while I was walking out of the library, I felt my blood sugar running low. I started to feel
dizzy, and my hands started to shake a little. Searching my pockets, I found that I only had a few dollars left. I was
dying for a free and tasty dinner. Without a second thought, I quickly headed for Dai Mom’s home, rather than go
back to my apartment.
As I got to the door, Dai Mom immediately noticed my fatigue (疲劳). She seated me at the dining table, and
before long, a plate of food was set in front of me on the table. “Have dinner. Don’t make yourself work so hard,”
she said to me with a nice smile.
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。
I cannot forget how tasty the dinner was.

Dai Mom was an angel to be my guardian.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I cannot forget how tasty the dinner was. Staring at the meat, vegetables, and fish on my plate, I was so
moved that tears started welling up in my eyes, rolling down on my face. I ate up all the food with indescribably
bitter-sweet feelings. It was just like a Christmas gift from Heaven. To this day, I remember it as the most delicious
dinner that I have ever had. Not only did the food satisfy my physical hunger, but also it deeply filled my spirit withgenuine love.
Dai Mom was an angel to be my guardian. She came by my side, not for a day, not for a month, but for many
years. She gave me the considerate love that a mother gave to her own child. She let me know what the true love is.
How lucky I am! A small act of love can make a great difference. In particular, because of her, I have now become
a person who can pass her love to others in need of help or support.
