Four-year-old Alan, who suffered from a serious disease, had one dream — to be a garbage truck driver. He

himself as a garbage man at the kindergarten
costume show.

honorary

when he first started,
for early mornings were tough for him.” said one of the Waste Management drivers.
5

check was not enough to reduce Alan’s
6
. After getting used to his early hours, he got to clock in with a
special timecard and

8
every part of being a
garbage truck man.
His day ended with a special
9
as he got to ride alongside another driver. A crowd of community
members gathered to
10
Alan for what he had done. It was a truly
11
day for him.
The amazing experience was all thanks to the local charity organization, and Alan wasn’t the only person
who got to
12
the day. “We are so happy the supports from all the kind-hearted individuals always
13
with him,” Alan’s mom commented. “We are so happy he finally

When I was a child, storytelling was an active part of my childhood. As a result, I have indeed become the
modern version of a 1 — an actor.
Surprisingly, none of my relatives on either side of my family have ever 2 this profession before. The
only person to whom I can trace a “storytelling 3 ” is my grandfather on my mother’s side.
When I was younger, my family would go 4 in the woods, and as it grew 5 , we would sit
around a fire and listen to my grandfather 6 a story. It was always the same story that my grandfather
would recite from memory.
It was not just the story that got to me — it was the 7 in my grandfather’s eye, the 8 of his
speech, and the sweeping movements of his arms that 9 me in the plots. Each one of these

would be cut short when my grandfather would shrug and say, “That’s as far as I

”. And we would all
nod and be left wondering how the story

it still had a future.

Passage 6
(2025·浙江湖州、丽水、衢州·一模)
My story with my cat started many years ago, and now I have to prepare to bid farewell to her. It was 2003
and a childhood 1 was stationed at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina where she was in the 82nd Airborne
Division (空降师). She was done jumping out of planes for the day, 2 the base, when she heard meowing
coming from a warehouse.
Inside, she 3 a stray (流浪的) cat, proud but dirty, and decided to take her home. Soon, the cat was

“Don’t you want to have them?”
A few weeks later, the kittens were 6 onto the back seat of a Jeep and driven north. Two were
dropped off at my parents’ house, and one with me at my studio apartment. The family 7 was that these
were military-grade cats, since their mom was from the base!
Gradually, I became 8 to my cat. She always leaned on my forearm the moment I told her the 9
of us: I described the apartments we’d lived in, the friends we’d met, and the sunsets we witnessed together. Almost
every morning, I 10 with her soft paws rubbing against my face. 11 , her bright eyes melted
my heart and her shock-white belly in the room was the best 12 throughout my day.
Twenty-one years later, mine is the 13 one standing. The cat is very sick, so I know a 14
is at hand. Comedy is tragedy plus time. That’s the rule. 15 , I think there’s a lesson here about “nurture.”

Passage 1
(2025·浙江绍兴·一模)
The first class I went to in college was philosophy, and it changed my life. Our first assignment was to write
a response paper to an essay by Albert Camus.
I entered college 1 to get a degree in engineering. I always liked the way mathematics had clear
answers and was good at it. So when I received this, I was instantly nervous. Even more troubling was that the
professor 2 to give any guidelines; he gave us total 3 . Full of anxiety, I read Camus’ essay
multiple times but still felt unsure. Unlike math, there were no set answers here, and I was forced to 4 my
own interpretation.
When I sat down to write, my notes and ideas were all 5 , but the words were lost. I tried various
strategies but nothing seemed to work. 6 , after a lot of stress, my ideas became more organized and the
words fell on the page. Still, I wondered if what I was saying made sense. Through all the 7 , I continued
writing the best I could and turned it in, simply hoping for the best.
Then came judgment day. The professor returned our papers with grades and 8 . He gave me an A,
suggesting that my essay was 9 overall and my reading of the essay was original. My relief and newfound
10 upon reading his comments could not be overstated.
What I learned through this process 11 well beyond a college paper. I learned to be 12 to
new challenges. I left engineering and became a lawyer. Philosophy helped me 13 courage to try a new
career path. More importantly, I learned that education is not just a path to a career but a chance to 14 .
Philosophy taught me the value of learning for its own sake, and this lesson continues to 15 my life every
day.
