One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when a young woman jumped on.She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.
The bus was full, bumpy, and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn't sit next to his mother. There were a couple of open scats. but they weren't together. She wasflusteredand looked embarrassed.
Then another woman. a little older. stood up and moved so that the mother and child could it together. The mom smiled as a thank-you, And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride: "I've been there."
Simple, undramatic and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite people. Why Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. We forget that. as we forge(前进) through life. we focused on our own troubles and needs- which are actually less unique than we think. How can these three words create more connection in your life Ask yourself; "Where am I holding back
One thing I know for sure is this: Healing(治愈) others helps heal yourself. I noticed this recently with my friend, Tracy. who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage(流产) under her wing. Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago. Our minds need a doctor to explain the medical side of things. But our souls need human connection to help us along. No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.

They made the SU7’s brain (operating system) work like the ones in Xiaomi’s phones and laptops (手提电脑). This way, people can get everything connected and easy to use.
Xiaomi has big dreams for their electric car business, but no one knows yet whether they will succeed. Some analysts (分析师) think that Xiaomi’s big idea will help make electric cars better and more exciting for everyone.

Plastic straws (吸管) are a modern invention, although people have been using different types of things for drinking water for centuries. By the 1960s, plastic straws have become common. It is said that 500 million straws are used just in the United States each day.

From my memory, my father was a man of few words and we were never close to each other. Before he joined the army, he built a house with his own hands. When he was tragically killed in one battle, the house became mine. As the house aged, it became a relic of the past, and we moved away, carrying with me the echoes of his silent presence.
One day, someone called, saying that he wanted to buy that house. I said yes.
Before we reached a deal, I thought it a must to check out the old shack (小屋) first, just in case something of value had been left behind. My two young sons followed along, and we waded through the tall grass in the mead ow where the old house sat. Time had taken its toll. The front porch had collapsed in on itself, most of the windows were gone, and the siding was falling off. We entered through an open window.
I felt as though I had chanced upon a time capsule (胶囊). Here lay the things of my dad’s lives. A broken chair. Some old clothes. But the thing that drew my eye was acardboard box stuffed with papers. I dug through its contents and was instantly transported back in time. There was a tax return from 1975. Greeting cards from old relatives and friends.
I spent most of a pleasant hour going through that box. All the while, I had to answer a stream of questions from my sons about the old house. They were amazed that nine people once occupied the tiny structure. And they shivered when I told them that in those days the cook stove was the only source of heat.
There’s nothing of value had been left, I confirmed. So we came back. The house once again enjoyed the lonely solitude of our meadow.
Then the paying day came. For no reason, maybe some reason, I came to that old house to say goodbye to something.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
As I stood in the house, my eye was drawn to a big yellowed envelope with two words “FROMARMY” on it.

【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:学会在餐桌上举止得体,会让我们周围的人更舒适。空处修饰动词act,需用副词形式,proper的副词是properly,符合语境。故填properly。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:通常,圆桌是中国人用餐的首选。the first后接名词,choose的名词形式是choice,且此处表示“一个选择”,用单数即可。故填choice。
【38题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:至于其他座位,离主宾越近,座位就越好。“the+比较级,the+比较级”是固定句型,意为“越……,越……”,close的比较级是closer,符合语境。故填closer。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:第二,如果我们是主人,我们应该提前到达门口,并引导客人入座。arrive at the door为固定搭配,表示“到达门口”。故填at。

【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:而且那会让客人感到不舒服。前文提到“点餐时问价格或讨价还价”这一行为,此处表示该行为带来的结果,用一般将来时,结构为will+动词原形。故填will make。
【43题详解】
考查形容词反义词。句意:力劝客人吃菜是不礼貌的,但介绍特色菜是可以的。根据后文“but it’s acceptable to introduce the special dishes”可知,前后句是转折关系,介绍特色菜可接受,那么力劝客人吃菜是不可接受的,即“不礼貌的”,polite的反义词是impolite,符合语境。故填impolite。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:他们吃不吃取决于他们自己。分析句子结构,此处主语为they,宾语需用反身代词表示“他们自己”,they的反身代词为themselves,符合语境。故填themselves。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:给客人夹菜也不明智,因为我们不确定他们是否喜欢。分析句子结构,空处引导宾语从句,结合语境“不确定他们喜欢”可知,此处表示“是否”,需用连接词whether引导从句。故填whether。

From my memory, my father was a man of few words and we were never close to each other. Before he joined the army, he built a house with his own hands. When he was tragically killed in one battle, the house became mine. As the house aged, it became a relic of the past, and we moved away, carrying with me the echoes of his silent presence.
One day, someone called, saying that he wanted to buy that house. I said yes.
Before we reached a deal, I thought it a must to check out the old shack (小屋) first, just in case something of value had been left behind. My two young sons followed along, and we waded through the tall grass in the mead ow where the old house sat. Time had taken its toll. The front porch had collapsed in on itself, most of the windows were gone, and the siding was falling off. We entered through an open window.
I felt as though I had chanced upon a time capsule (胶囊). Here lay the things of my dad’s lives. A broken chair. Some old clothes. But the thing that drew my eye was acardboard box stuffed with papers. I dug through its contents and was instantly transported back in time. There was a tax return from 1975. Greeting cards from old relatives and friends.
I spent most of a pleasant hour going through that box. All the while, I had to answer a stream of questions from my sons about the old house. They were amazed that nine people once occupied the tiny structure. And they shivered when I told them that in those days the cook stove was the only source of heat.
There’s nothing of value had been left, I confirmed. So we came back. The house once again enjoyed the lonely solitude of our meadow.
Then the paying day came. For no reason, maybe some reason, I came to that old house to say goodbye to something.

【答案】Possible version:
As I stood in the house, my eye was drawn to a big yellowed envelope with two words “FROMARMY” on it. Driven by a heartstring tremor, I opened it to find a letter from my father during his military days. His familiar handwriting depicted him as talkative and homesick, which contrasted with my memory of him. Realizing he missed me as much, I silently resolved to keep it, as the house gained new significance.
I pulled out my telephone and made a call to that buyer. With guilt, I expressed my sorry for not willing to sell the house anymore and made explanations. Fortunately, he kindly understood, mentioning the house’s charm and hope for reliving the past. Gratefully, I hung up and placed back the yellow letter that changed everything. Sunlight revealed the house’s history and memories; my father’s presence warmed my heart, prompting me to bring my sons here to share family stories and assure them their grandpa lives on.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者的父亲寡言少语,关系并不亲密。父亲在参军前亲手建了房子,战死后房子成了作者的。多年后,作者准备卖掉旧屋,偶然发现一封父亲从军时写的信,信中透露出父亲对家人的思念和关心。此刻作者才明白,父亲虽不在,却一直未曾远离。作者最终决定保留这座满载回忆的房子。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然后,付钱的日子到了。站在屋子里,我的目光被一个泛黄的大信封吸引住了,上面写着 “FROMARMY ”两个字。”可知,第一段可描写泛黄的信件揭示了父亲的思念,使作者重新认识了他,并决定保留老房子。
②由第二段首句内容“我掏出电话,给那位买家打了一个电话”可知,第二段可描写作者决定不卖房子,买家理解。房子承载着父亲的回忆,填补了作者内心的空虚。
2.续写线索:准备卖房——发现信封——决定不卖房子——回忆——感悟
