Passage 2
[2025 山西省高三下学期一模]
Last summer, I returned to my grandmother’s home in the quiet town where I grew up. The woman who
once moved with boundless 1 now seemed to be older, moving more slowly, as if her every step was
carefully 2 . Her hands, which had once moved with clear purpose, now shook 3 she nursed her
tea. I noticed the 4 , but it didn’t make her any less the center of our family. She had simply learned to
move at a different 5 , one that allowed her to enjoy moments she once rushed through.
One afternoon, we sat side by side in her garden. I was 6 the roses, my thoughts wandering as
impatience grew with how much there was to do. I wanted to finish quickly, yet my grandmother’s eyes remained
fixed on the flowers, filled with quiet understanding. “I used to rush through all this,” she said softly. “Planting,
weeding, always hurrying. Now, I find 7 in just watching them grow, letting time 8 as it will.”
Her voice wasn’t filled with any 9 ; instead, it conveyed a peaceful acceptance, as if she had 10
a new way of loving life.
In the days that followed, we shared simple moments — small tasks, quiet conversations, and the gentle flow
of our daily routine. I had always flown through tasks before, constantly focused on finishing what was next. But
watching her, I began to see a different way of being. She no longer moved quickly; each 11 was
purposeful, and in her stillness, there was a warmth I had never truly 12 before.
As I was about to leave, she smiled gently and said, “You know, love isn’t always about 13
actions. It’s in the little things, the quiet moments we share. Like how these green plants 14 , or how
we sit here together, simply being.” In that moment, I understood: true love, like true life, lies in the patience and
15 we give one another.

Passage 2
[2025 山西省孝义市高三下学期2 月模拟]
A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into
1 about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 2 with
a large pot of coffee and a 3 of cups — porcelain(瓷器的), plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some
exquisite, some 4 , some cheap — telling them to 5 themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the 6 said: “If you have noticed, all the nice-
looking expensive cups have been 7 , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. 8 it is normal for
you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 9 of your problems and stress. Be 10 that the
cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what
we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup. But you 11 went for the best cups, and then
you began 12 each other’s cups.”
Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and 13
life. The type of cup we have does not 14 , nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by 15
only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Don’t let the cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee instead.
