A
With brand new products constantly emerging, it can be hard to keep track of what things to sell in 2023. The secret to selling new popular products is to find winning products before they become mainstream. So if you’re looking for the best new products of 2023 before your competitors discover them, read on.
Smart temperature sensors
With most countries having four seasons in a year, smart temperature sensors will surely attract customers from around the globe. People can use the sensor to check the temperature, humidity level, etc. Then, they can share this data with other smart devices that regulate the temperature in their room (smart heaters, curtains, etc.). The rich functionality makes it one of the best products to sell in 2023.
Biomagnetic ear stickers
We’d never imagined a day when earrings would help you improve blood circulation (循环), but that day has come. Biomagnetic ear stickers put pressure on your ears and stimulate blood flow. It’s said that magnets can also help with weight loss. However, be sure not to make any claims about how much weight your customers will lose. Not making definitive claims is a common practice in fitness and health care to avoid legal action.
Reusable straws
Reusable straws make a great product, especially if you have an eco-friendly product store. You can position the product as good for the environment while protecting marine life from plastic waste. Remember: a business that makes the world a better place is the best kind of business.
1. What makes smart temperature sensors get popular?
A. Being self-operating. B. Being eco-friendly.
C. Being multi-functional. D. Being money-saving.
2. Why might people choose biomagnetic ear stickers?
A. To monitor health. B. To boost blood flow.
C. To sharpen hearing. D. To lower blood pressure.
3. Who is the text intended for?
A. Product designers. B. Storekeepers.
C. Fashion customers. D. Environmentalists.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B

B
NASA has put Uranus front and center according to its latest report. Its top priority for the next decade of space exploration in solar system is spending several billion dollars on a new important mission to the outer planet.
Uranus deserves a closer look. Only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, has ever visited the seventh planet from the sun in 1986. The visit was short: Uranus was one stop on the 1986 tour of the solar system, and the spacecraft made its observations while on the move. What scientists are recommending now is a mission specifically designed to study everything about the Uranian system, including the planet, its moons and its rings.
One might assume that we are pretty familiar with our neighbor. However, even with the best space telescopes, it is difficult to study a planet that is twice as far from Earth as is Saturn, and much smaller than Saturn. Name any aspect of the Uranian system, and planetary scientists can give you a list of unanswered questions about it. Unlike the other planets, Uranus spins (高速旋转) on its side, possibly the result of a crash with an Earth-sized object long ago. This unique tilt (倾斜) causes the most extreme seasons in the solar system.
By getting to know Uranus, planetary scientists can learn about a class of planets called ice giants, one of the most common planets beyond our solar system. In order to know more about ice giants, scientists should examine more closely one of our own. They picked Uranus over Neptune for practical reasons. For example, Neptune, which since 2006 has had the distinction of being the outermost planet in our solar system, is farther. With the rocket systems currently in operation, Uranus is easier to reach.
Planetary scientists saw the mission as a breakthrough because little is known about ice giants. It’s sure there are going to be lots of surprises once man gets there.
4. What can we learn about the 1986 visit to Uranus?
A. It was costly but fruitful. B. Uranus’ moons were found.
C. It was specially designed. D. Uranus was observed on the move.
5. What does the underlined “our neighbor” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Moon. B. Earth. C. Saturn. D. Uranus.
6. What makes the Uranus mission so important?
A. More will be known about ice giants.
B. Uranus is a ringed planet like Neptune.
C. Uranus is the farthest planet that can be reached now.
D. The cause of Uranus’ extreme seasons will be explained.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To reveal the mysteries of Uranus.
B. To introduce an exploring focus of NASA.
C. To stress scientists’ efforts at space exploration.
D. To discuss the possibilities of exploring Uranus.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国国家航空航天局根据其最新报告将天王星置于中心位置，并在未来十年的太阳系太空探索中，打算花费数十亿美元执行一项新的重要任务。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Uranus was one stop on the 1986 tour of the solar system, and the spacecraft made its observations while on the move.( 天王星是1986年太阳系之旅的一站，航天器在移动中进行了观测。)”可知，1986年天王星被航天器在移动中进行了观测，故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“What scientists are recommending now is a mission specifically designed to study everything about the Uranian system, including the planet, its moons and its rings.(科学家们现在建议的是一项专门研究天王星系一切的任务，包括行星、卫星和光环。)”和第三段划线词所在句子“One might assume that we are pretty familiar with our neighbor. However, even with the best space telescopes, it is difficult to study a planet that is twice as far from Earth as is Saturn, and much smaller than Saturn. Name any aspect of the Uranian system, and planetary scientists can give you a list of unanswered questions about it.(有人可能会认为我们和邻居很熟悉。然而，即使使用最好的太空望远镜，也很难研究一颗距离地球两倍于土星、比土星小得多的行星。说出天王星系的任何方面，行星科学家都可以给你一份关于它的未回答问题清单。)”可推理出第三段划线词指代的是天王星，故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“By getting to know Uranus, planetary scientists can learn about a class of planets called ice giants, one of the most common planets beyond our solar system.(通过了解天王星，行星科学家可以了解一类被称为冰巨星的行星，这是太阳系以外最常见的行星之一。)”可知研究天王星对研究冰巨星有帮助，可推理出使得天王星研究变得重要的是更多关于冰巨星的信息将被了解，故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“NASA has put Uranus front and center according to its latest report.

It’s sure there are going to be lots of surprises once man gets there.(行星科学家认为这次任务是一次突破，因为人们对冰巨星知之甚少。一旦人类到达那里，肯定会有很多惊喜。)”可推理出，本文的主要目的是介绍美国国家航空航天局的一个探索重点，故选B项。
C
When storms come rolling in across the ocean, they struck coastlines with tremendous force. Luckily, for thousands of miles of tropical coastlines, nature has provided a remarkable form of protection: coral reefs.
These colorful wonders are best known for their diversity of life, their plentiful seafood, and their draw to scuba-diving tourists. But they are also astonishingly durable and firm structures, built by tiny animals with calcium carbonate skeletons (碳酸钙骨架), which provide an important service to the coastlines standing behind them — they can absorb up to 97% of wave energy.
A new study estimates that reefs offer protection to up to 5.3 million people and $109 billion in gross domestic product (GDP) per decade. The maps in the study scientists generated are at a much finer resolution (分辨率) than previous analyses, which allows users to view coral reefs with more details and see where reefs provide the highest degree of protection for people, GDP and infrastructure (基础设施). “This level of detail means we can use this information in practical ways, like in the marine spacial planning we do to inform conservation strategies around the world,” says Dr. Spalding, the co-author of the study. More accurate data on where reefs protect people and infrastructure from destructive waves can help improve decision-making about which reefs to protect.
We have already lost half of the world’s reefs, and scientists predict we could lose up to 90% if actions are not taken to protect them. Effective management strategies are vital to supporting reef health and recovery.
Coral reefs are often selected for conservation based on their ecological significance, which may mean they are located in remote places, away from the more direct effects of human pressures like development and pollution. “We are failing ourselves as well as nature if we don’t also consider protecting the reefs that are located closer to humans,” says Spalding. “These are the reefs that protect us and provide for us in abundance. Let’s look after them.”
8. Which function of coral reefs is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Nurturing diverse living things. B. Offering plentiful seafood.
C. Attracting scuba-diving tourists. D. Reducing the forces of waves.
9. To which field can the findings be applied?
A. Eco-tourism. B. Urban planning.
C. Reef recovery. D. Deep-sea exploration.
10. Why should we protect the reefs near to humans according to Spalding?
A Because they protect and provide for humans.
B. Because they are more beautiful than remote reefs.
C. Because they are of higher ecological significance.
D. Because they provide better habitats for marine life.
11. What may be the best title of the text?
A Coral Reefs as Coastal Defenders B. The Secrets of Coral Reefs
C. New Ways of Coral Reef Conservation D. Coastlines behind Coral Reefs
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。珊瑚礁的多样性、丰富的海鲜资源和对潜水旅游的吸引力，同时强调了珊瑚礁作为坚固结构可以吸收高达97%的波浪能量，为沿岸地区提供重要保护。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“But they are also astonishingly durable and firm structures, built by tiny animals with calcium carbonate skeletons (碳酸钙骨架), which provide an important service to the coastlines standing behind them — they can absorb up to 97% of wave energy. (但它们也是令人惊讶的耐用和坚固的结构，由带有碳酸钙骨架的小动物建造，为它们后面的海岸线提供了重要的服务——它们可以吸收高达97%的波浪能。)”可知文章主要讨论的是珊瑚礁可以减少波浪的力量。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Effective management strategies are vital to supporting reef health and recovery. (有效的管理策略对于支持珊瑚礁健康和恢复至关重要。)”可知研究结果可以用于珊瑚礁的恢复中，故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““We are failing ourselves as well as nature if we don’t also consider protecting the reefs that are located closer to humans,” says Spalding. “These are the reefs that protect us and provide for us in abundance. Let’s look after them.” (“如果我们不考虑保护离人类更近的珊瑚礁，我们就会辜负自己和自然，”斯伯丁说。“这些珊瑚礁保护我们并为我们提供丰富的食物。让我们照顾他们。)”可知，我们应该保护靠近人类的珊瑚礁，因为它们保护并为人类提供资源，保护这些珊瑚礁对人类具有重要意义。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“When storms come rolling in across the ocean, they struck coastlines with tremendous force. Luckily, for thousands of miles of tropical coastlines, nature has provided a remarkable form of protection: coral reefs. (当风暴席卷大洋彼岸时，它们以巨大的力量袭击了海岸线。幸运的是，在数千英里的热带海岸线上，大自然提供了一种非凡的保护形式：珊瑚礁。)”可知珊瑚礁具有减少海浪冲击力的功能，从而保护海岸线免受风暴的破坏，这一功能使得珊瑚礁在海岸防护方面发挥着重要作用，即珊瑚礁是海岸防护者，故选A项。
D
Zara is now one of the world’s hottest fashion chains. The secret to its success is that Zara stands out in supply chain management. In fact, Zara succeeds by first breaking and then rewriting industry rules.
Industry rule number one: Avoid stock-outs (缺货). From Zara’s point of view, stock-outs are a good thing, since occasional shortages contribute to a shopper’s urge to “buy now”. At Zara, items sell out fast, with new products arriving at stores twice a week. By giving just a short window of opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of products, Zara’s customers are motivated to visit the stores more frequently.
Rule number two: Outsource (外包) for cheaper production. In contrast to traditional outsourcing production, Zara has developed a super-responsive supply chain by concentrating more than half of its production in Spain (the birthplace) and its nearby countries. This means it can design, produce, and deliver a new item of clothing to its stores in a quarter of the normal time. Also, outsourcing may not necessarily be “low cost”. Errors in trend prediction can easily lead to unsold inventory (库存), forcing their retail stores to offer bigger discounts (打折). Zara’s ability to design and make new clothes quickly means shorter lead times and an ever-changing inventory. So it sells more at full price.
Rule number three: Go for efficiency through mass production. By producing products in large quantities, as is the industry norm, companies can benefit from it. Zara, however, intentionally deals in small numbers. Because of the greater flexibility and speed this approach affords, Zara does not worry about missing the boat when it comes to trends. When new trends emerge, Zara can react quickly. Also, it runs its supply chain with a fast but predictable rhythm: Every store places orders on Tuesday/Wednesdy and Friday/Saturday. Both store staff and regular customers know exactly when shipments will arrive.
Certainly, Zara has no shortage of competitors. But few have successfully copied its fast fashion and flexible business model yet.
12. Why do customers visit Zara stores more frequently?
A. Because of its regular huge discounts.
B. Because of its wide variety of clothing.
C. Because of the high quality of its products.
D. Because of limited availability of its items.
13. How has Zara developed a super-responsive supply chain?
A. By predicting future fashion trends accurately.
B. By designing and making new clothes quickly.
C. By making most of goods in or near its headquarters.
D. By having factories in different countries around the world.
14. Which can best explain the underlined phrase?
A. Being too late for delivery.
B. Working on a tight schedule.
C. Failing to take advantage of a chance.
D. Producing products in large quantities.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Ups and downs of Zara.
B. Secrets to Zara’s success.
C. Rules of the fashion industry.
D. Competition in the fashion industry.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Zara的成功在于首先打破了行业规则，然后又重新改写了行业规则。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At Zara, items sell out fast, with new products arriving at stores twice a week. By giving just a short window of opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of products, Zara’s customers are motivated to visit the stores more frequently.(在Zara，商品卖得很快，新产品每周两次到货。通过给顾客短暂的机会来购买数量有限的产品，Zara的顾客会更频繁地光顾这家店。)”可知，Zara的顾客之所以更频繁地光顾这家店是因为其只给顾客短暂的机会来购买数量有限的产品。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In contrast to traditional outsourcing production, Zara has developed a super-responsive supply chain by concentrating more than half of its production in Spain (the birthplace) and its nearby countries. This means it can design, produce, and deliver a new item of clothing to its stores in a quarter of the normal time.(与传统的外包生产不同，Zara将一半以上的生产集中在西班牙（诞生地）及其周边国家，从而建立了一个反应灵敏的供应链。这意味着它可以在正常时间的四分之一内设计、生产并将一件新衣服送到商店。)”可知，Zara将一半以上的生产集中在西班牙（诞生地）及其周边国家，从而建立了一个反应灵敏的供应链。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词组上一句“Zara, however, intentionally deals in small numbers.(然而，Zara有意以小批量销售。)”可知，Zara以小批量销售商品。再根据划线词组上文“Because of the greater flexibility and speed this approach affords(由于这种方式提供了更大的灵活性和速度)”和下文“When new trends emerge, Zara can react quickly.(当新趋势出现时，Zara能迅速做出反应)”可知，Zara以小批量销售商品的方式更加灵活，供货速度也更快，对于新的流行趋势反应迅速。由此可以推断，这种方式不会担心会错过潮流。选项C“Failing to take advantage of a chance.(没有抓住机会)”，符合句意。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Zara is now one of the world’s hottest fashion chains. The secret to its success is that Zara stands out in supply chain management. In fact, Zara succeeds by first breaking and then rewriting industry rules.(Zara现在是世界上最热门的时尚连锁店之一。Zara成功的秘诀在于其在供应链管理方面的突出表现。事实上，Zara的成功在于首先打破了行业规则，然后又重新改写了行业规则。)”、文章最后一段“Certainly, Zara has no shortage of competitors. But few have successfully copied its fast fashion and flexible business model yet. (当然，Zara不乏竞争对手。但很少有公司成功复制了它的快时尚和灵活的商业模式。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要分析了Zara这一品牌成功的秘诀。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It can feel good to be right, but when we find new information that makes us feel good about something we already believe, how can we be sure we aren’t just engaging in confirmation bias (确认偏误)?
Confirmation bias is our tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs. ____16____ These ways are aimed at supporting, rather than challenging, pre-existing beliefs. This is especially true for information about things that feel very important to us. People usually don’t engage in confirmation bias on purpose. But research has found that it is real. ____17____
For example if an actor you support was caught in a scandal (丑闻), you might be more likely to believe explanations that make him look less guilty. ____18____
So what can we do to avoid confirmation bias? One thing we can do is to try to look for strong evidence that actually contradicts (相矛盾) our beliefs. This can help us check if we only believe certain things instead of considering other possibilities. ____19____ Even if we don’t agree with them, we might learn why someone thinks the way they do. It can help us understand that there may be other ways to see the same issue.
____20____ The thing we most want to believe might not be true. We should try to learn more before deciding how we feel about something, even if it’s very important to us. But that’s often easier said than done.
A. And it influences people’s judgment.
B. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to spot.
C. We tend to ignore information that contradicts it.
D. It can also be helpful to talk to people who don’t share our beliefs.
E. Most importantly, we have to be careful not to jump to conclusions.
F. It also describes our attempt to find ways of explaining unclear information.
G. Meanwhile, people who dislike him would probably believe what makes him look worse.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了确认偏误的存在和影响，并提供了一些方法来避免确认偏误。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Confirmation bias is our tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs.(确认偏误是我们倾向于寻找证实我们现有信念的信息。)”可知，我们倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息，结合下文“These ways are aimed at supporting, rather than challenging, pre-existing beliefs.(这些方式旨在支持而不是挑战预先存在的信念。)”可知，空处应与These ways有关，F项“It also describes our attempt to find ways of explaining unclear information.(它还描述了我们试图找到解释不明确信息的方法。)”中的ways与下文中“These ways”呼应，上下文一致，符合文意，故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“People usually don’t engage in confirmation bias on purpose. But research has found that it is real.(人们通常不会故意进行确认偏误。但研究发现它是真实的。)”可知人们不会故意进行确认偏误，但是还是会发生，如果发生确认偏误，就会影响人们的判断，与A项“And it influences people’s judgment.(它会影响人们的判断。)”上下文一致，故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For example, if an actor you support was caught in a scandal (丑闻), you might be more likely to believe explanations that make him look less guilty.(例如，如果你支持的演员陷入丑闻，你可能更有可能相信让他看起来不那么内疚的解释。)”可知，个人喜好影响下确认偏误更容易发生，人们更倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息，与G项“Meanwhile, people who dislike him would probably believe what makes him look worse.(与此同时，不喜欢他的人可能会相信是什么让他看起来更糟。)”上下文一致，G项中的him与上文中的him为前后呼应，故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“One thing we can do is to try to look for strong evidence that actually contradicts (相矛盾) our beliefs. This can help us check if we only believe certain things instead of considering other possibilities. (我们可以做的一件事是尝试寻找与我们的信念相矛盾的有力证据。这可以帮助我们检查我们是否只相信某些事情，而不是考虑其他可能性。)”可知本段主要讲述避免确认偏误的方法，寻找与自己信念相矛盾的强有力证据，与D项“It can also be helpful to talk to people who don’t share our beliefs.(与那些与我们信仰不符的人交谈也会有所帮助。)”上下文一致，其中的“talk to people”与下文“Even if we don’t agree with them, we might learn why someone thinks the way they do.(即使我们不同意他们的观点，我们也可能会知道为什么有人会这样想。)”中的don’t agree with them前后呼应，为避免确认偏误的方法之一，符合文意，故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“We should try to learn more before deciding how we feel about something, even if it’s very important to us.(在决定我们对某事的感受之前，我们应该尝试了解更多，即使它对我们来说非常重要。)”可知，作者建议避免过早的下结论，与E项“Most importantly, we have to be careful not to jump to conclusions.(最重要的是，我们必须小心不要妄下结论。)”上下文一致，E项中的“conclusions”与下文中“deciding how we feel about something”为前后呼应，符合文意，故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。大卫·勒夫曼是一位摄影记者和旅行作家，他已经访问中国近40年了。作为一个广泛旅行的人，中国在勒夫曼心中占有独特的地位。本文对大卫·勒夫曼做了简要介绍。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：作为一个游历过世界各地并写过世界各地文章的人，中国在勒夫曼心中占有独特的一席之地。分析句子结构，以as开头的介词短语中包含定语从句，先行词为someone，因空白处在定语从句中作谓语且从句表达的是过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，从句谓语动词使用现在完成时，因定语从句的主语someone为单数，故填has traveled。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处后面有名词短语unique place，根据名词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词，表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面词unique的首字母发音为辅音音素，故填a。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他解释说，他喜欢这里的风景、独特的历史以及生活在那里的不同民族。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为peoples，因空白处在定语从句中做主语指人，可以使用who或that引导定语从句，故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：勒夫曼在中国目睹的最重大的变化之一是国家的快速现代化和发展。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语且句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语One of the most significant changes为单数，故填is。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：他回忆起曾经参观过的城市，这些城市曾经很小，相对不发达，但现在已经成为繁荣的现代城市。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语使用副词，故填relatively。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名作家，勒夫曼出版了几本关于中国的书，包括《丝绸之路》、《中国西南》和《中国长城》。分析句子结构，““The Silk Road” “China’s Southwest” and “The Great Wall of China”(《丝绸之路》、《中国西南》和《中国长城》)”与空白处共同构成了独立主格结构，所以空白处应使用非谓语动词，因空白处与其逻辑主语“The Silk Road” “China’s Southwest” and “The Great Wall of China”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，使用过去分词，故填included。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：他的作品帮助读者了解了中国的美丽和复杂。分析句子结构，introduce sb to sth为固定句型，含义为“向某人介绍……”，符合句意，故填to。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：勒夫曼说，尽管他在中国旅行多年，但他对这个国家还有很多需要了解的地方。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做定语，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to learn。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：他一直着迷于中国文化和历史的丰富性和多样性，并期待着在未来几年继续探索这个国家。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做介词by的宾语，使用名词，故填richness。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作定语修饰后面名词years，因与其逻辑主语years之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填coming。

Dear Editor,
I am writing to share my view on the upcoming English Classics Reading activity in our school. I believe it is best to read the original versions of the literary works.
Reading the originals allows us to appreciate the authors’ authentic language, providing a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical context. Studying originals can also foster critical thinking skills and language proficiency. Complex structures and vocabulary challenge students, promoting intellectual growth and linguistic development.
In conclusion, prioritizing original English literature ensures a richer and more authentic experience. Let’s embrace the power of the originals in our reading activity.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Editor,
As to reading classics, reading the adapted versions is a reasonable choice, especially for those who may struggle with English.
As a student, I understand the challenges that come along with the complexity and language barriers in originals. Adapted versions maintain the essence of the story with simplified languages and sentence structures. Moreover, the adapted versions help bridge the gap between different levels of language proficiency. Adapted versions make great works more accessible to all students, regardless of their proficiency level.
In conclusion, including adapted versions in our reading activity would make it more engaging and inclusive.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 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。
Dude
The first time my husband Bart told me about his horse, Dude, I knew their bond had been something special.
Growing up on a family farm, Bart loved all animals. But Dude, a birthday gift Bart received when he turned nine, became his favorite. Years later when Bart’s father sold Dude, Bart grieved (悲痛) in secret.
One evening, as we took a walk, Bart suddenly asked, “Did I ever tell you Dude won the World Racking Horse Championship?”
“Rocking?” asked I.
“Racking, it’s a kind of dancing horses do.” Bart corrected, smiling gently. “Dude was the greatest and most intelligent racking horse ever. Whenever I whistled (吹口哨), he would run at me and dance.”
“Then why’d you let your dad sell him?” I asked.
Bart explained, “When I found a job away from home, Dad figured I wouldn’t be riding anymore, so he sold Dude without even asking me. Running a horse farm means you buy and sell horses all the time.”
“I’ve always wondered if that horse missed me as much as I’ve missed him. I’ve never had the heart to try to find him. I couldn’t stand knowing if something bad. . . .” Bart’s voice trailed off (减弱).
My heart ached for him. I didn’t know what to do. Then one day while walking through the pasture (牧场), a strange thought came to me — finding Dude for Bart. How absurd! I thought. I knew nothing about Dude, certainly not how to find him. The harder I tried to dismiss the thought, the stronger it grew.
One morning after that first “find Dude” thought, I met with our new neighbor, Mr. Parker, and started a friendly conversation. When he mentioned he’d once bought a horse from Bart’s dad, I interrupted. “You remember the horse’s name?” I asked.
“Sure do.” Mr. Parker said. “Dude. Paid twenty-five hundred dollars for him.”
I went wild with joy, barely catching my breath. “Do you know what happened to him?”
“I sold him for a good profit years ago.”
“Would you be willing to try to help me find him?” I asked. And then I explained the situation.
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。
Mr. Parker agreed to join the search, promising not to say anything to Bart.

Getting out of the car, I asked Bart to whistle as he used to do to Dude.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible versions：
[1]
Mr. Parker agreed to join the search, promising not to say anything to Bart. For nearly a year, there was no result to our secret search and we almost lost hope. One morning, Mr. Parker phoned me. “Hard work paid off! Dude’s been found!” he shouted, “It is on a farm in Georgia and Dude is well.” I couldn’t wait to contact the family and tried to persuade them to sell Dude to me. When I shared with them our story, they agreed. On that very weekend, I invited Bart to drive to Georgia, promising to give him a surprise. Three hours later, we finally parked on a beautiful farm.
Getting out of the car, I asked Bart to whistle as he used to do to Dude. Bart hesitated but whistled. Nothing happened. He whistled again, and we heard a sound in the distance. Suddenly, a horse at a gallop came into sight . Before I could speak, Bart leapt over the fence. “Dude!” he yelled, running towards his beloved friend. I watched the horse and Bart meet like one of those slow-motion reunion scenes on television, moved to tears. Later that evening, we got Dude back home. The moon cast a warm light over us and Bart hugged me and thanked for my surprise, smiling with tears in his eyes.
[2]
Mr. Parker agreed to join the search, promising not to say anything to Bart. We sprang into action. Mr. Parker managed to make contact with the former buyer and got some information about Bart. We then spent weeks searching and making phone calls. No good news came until one day, we finally got a lead. We found out that Dude was living on a farm in the south. I then told Bart I wanted a trip to the south. And he agreed. On the appointed day, we set off. Not knowing the purpose of the trip, Bart looked calm, while I was excited, picturing their reunion. With the mixed feelings, we arrived at the destination.
Getting out of the car, I asked Bart to whistle as he used to do to Dude. He was a little confused at my request, but did as told. Then came the sound of horse hooves. Eyes wide open, I saw a horse galloping towards us. Bart’s face lit up, and tears streamed down his cheeks as he embraced his long-lost friend. As I watched the two friends reconnecting, it was evident that the bond they shared had never been broken. That day, we came back with Dude. Along the way, Bart shared with me their stories and his planning arrangements for Dude. And I knew, the return of Dude had given him more than just a horse.

A
With brand new products constantly emerging, it can be hard to keep track of what things to sell in 2023. The secret to selling new popular products is to find winning products before they become mainstream. So if you’re looking for the best new products of 2023 before your competitors discover them, read on.
Smart temperature sensors
With most countries having four seasons in a year, smart temperature sensors will surely attract customers from around the globe. People can use the sensor to check the temperature, humidity level, etc. Then, they can share this data with other smart devices that regulate the temperature in their room (smart heaters, curtains, etc.). The rich functionality makes it one of the best products to sell in 2023.
Biomagnetic ear stickers
We’d never imagined a day when earrings would help you improve blood circulation (循环), but that day has come. Biomagnetic ear stickers put pressure on your ears and stimulate blood flow. It’s said that magnets can also help with weight loss. However, be sure not to make any claims about how much weight your customers will lose. Not making definitive claims is a common practice in fitness and health care to avoid legal action.
Reusable straws
Reusable straws make a great product, especially if you have an eco-friendly product store. You can position the product as good for the environment while protecting marine life from plastic waste. Remember: a business that makes the world a better place is the best kind of business.
1. What makes smart temperature sensors get popular?
A. Being self-operating. B. Being eco-friendly.
C. Being multi-functional. D. Being money-saving.
2. Why might people choose biomagnetic ear stickers?
A. To monitor health. B. To boost blood flow.
C. To sharpen hearing. D. To lower blood pressure.
3. Who is the text intended for?
A. Product designers. B. Storekeepers.
C. Fashion customers. D. Environmentalists.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个新的销售流行产品。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Smart temperature sensors”部分的“The rich functionality makes it one of the best products to sell in 2023.(丰富的功能使其成为2023年销售最好的产品之一。)”可知，多功能使得智能温度传感器变得受欢迎，故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Biomagnetic ear stickers”部分的“Biomagnetic ear stickers put pressure on your ears and stimulate blood flow.(生物磁性耳贴可以给耳朵施加压力，刺激血液流动。)”可知，生物磁性耳贴可用于促进血液流动，故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The secret to selling new popular products is to find winning products before they become mainstream. So if you’re looking for the best new products of 2023 before your competitors discover them, read on.(销售新的流行产品的秘诀是在它们成为主流之前找到获胜的产品。因此，如果你在竞争对手发现2023年最好的新产品之前就在寻找，请继续阅读。)”以及“Smart temperature sensors(智能温度传感器)”、“Biomagnetic ear stickers(生物磁性耳贴)”以及“Reusable straws(可重复使用的吸管)”可知本文主要介绍了几种新的销售流行产品，可知本文是写给零售商的，故选B项。
B
NASA has put Uranus front and center according to its latest report. Its top priority for the next decade of space exploration in solar system is spending several billion dollars on a new important mission to the outer planet.
Uranus deserves a closer look. Only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, has ever visited the seventh planet from the sun in 1986. The visit was short: Uranus was one stop on the 1986 tour of the solar system, and the spacecraft made its observations while on the move. What scientists are recommending now is a mission specifically designed to study everything about the Uranian system, including the planet, its moons and its rings.
One might assume that we are pretty familiar with our neighbor. However, even with the best space telescopes, it is difficult to study a planet that is twice as far from Earth as is Saturn, and much smaller than Saturn. Name any aspect of the Uranian system, and planetary scientists can give you a list of unanswered questions about it. Unlike the other planets, Uranus spins (高速旋转) on its side, possibly the result of a crash with an Earth-sized object long ago. This unique tilt (倾斜) causes the most extreme seasons in the solar system.
By getting to know Uranus, planetary scientists can learn about a class of planets called ice giants, one of the most common planets beyond our solar system. In order to know more about ice giants, scientists should examine more closely one of our own. They picked Uranus over Neptune for practical reasons. For example, Neptune, which since 2006 has had the distinction of being the outermost planet in our solar system, is farther. With the rocket systems currently in operation, Uranus is easier to reach.

When storms come rolling in across the ocean, they struck coastlines with tremendous force. Luckily, for thousands of miles of tropical coastlines, nature has provided a remarkable form of protection: coral reefs.
These colorful wonders are best known for their diversity of life, their plentiful seafood, and their draw to scuba-diving tourists. But they are also astonishingly durable and firm structures, built by tiny animals with calcium carbonate skeletons (碳酸钙骨架), which provide an important service to the coastlines standing behind them — they can absorb up to 97% of wave energy.
A new study estimates that reefs offer protection to up to 5.3 million people and $109 billion in gross domestic product (GDP) per decade. The maps in the study scientists generated are at a much finer resolution (分辨率) than previous analyses, which allows users to view coral reefs with more details and see where reefs provide the highest degree of protection for people, GDP and infrastructure (基础设施). “This level of detail means we can use this information in practical ways, like in the marine spacial planning we do to inform conservation strategies around the world,” says Dr. Spalding, the co-author of the study. More accurate data on where reefs protect people and infrastructure from destructive waves can help improve decision-making about which reefs to protect.
We have already lost half of the world’s reefs, and scientists predict we could lose up to 90% if actions are not taken to protect them. Effective management strategies are vital to supporting reef health and recovery.
Coral reefs are often selected for conservation based on their ecological significance, which may mean they are located in remote places, away from the more direct effects of human pressures like development and pollution. “We are failing ourselves as well as nature if we don’t also consider protecting the reefs that are located closer to humans,” says Spalding. “These are the reefs that protect us and provide for us in abundance. Let’s look after them.”
8. Which function of coral reefs is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Nurturing diverse living things. B. Offering plentiful seafood.
C. Attracting scuba-diving tourists. D. Reducing the forces of waves.
9. To which field can the findings be applied?
A. Eco-tourism. B. Urban planning.
C. Reef recovery. D. Deep-sea exploration.
10. Why should we protect the reefs near to humans according to Spalding?
A Because they protect and provide for humans.
B. Because they are more beautiful than remote reefs.
C. Because they are of higher ecological significance.
D. Because they provide better habitats for marine life.
11. What may be the best title of the text?
A Coral Reefs as Coastal Defenders B. The Secrets of Coral Reefs
C. New Ways of Coral Reef Conservation D. Coastlines behind Coral Reefs
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】

Zara is now one of the world’s hottest fashion chains. The secret to its success is that Zara stands out in supply chain management. In fact, Zara succeeds by first breaking and then rewriting industry rules.
Industry rule number one: Avoid stock-outs (缺货). From Zara’s point of view, stock-outs are a good thing, since occasional shortages contribute to a shopper’s urge to “buy now”. At Zara, items sell out fast, with new products arriving at stores twice a week. By giving just a short window of opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of products, Zara’s customers are motivated to visit the stores more frequently.
Rule number two: Outsource (外包) for cheaper production. In contrast to traditional outsourcing production, Zara has developed a super-responsive supply chain by concentrating more than half of its production in Spain (the birthplace) and its nearby countries. This means it can design, produce, and deliver a new item of clothing to its stores in a quarter of the normal time. Also, outsourcing may not necessarily be “low cost”. Errors in trend prediction can easily lead to unsold inventory (库存), forcing their retail stores to offer bigger discounts (打折). Zara’s ability to design and make new clothes quickly means shorter lead times and an ever-changing inventory. So it sells more at full price.
Rule number three: Go for efficiency through mass production. By producing products in large quantities, as is the industry norm, companies can benefit from it. Zara, however, intentionally deals in small numbers. Because of the greater flexibility and speed this approach affords, Zara does not worry about missing the boat when it comes to trends. When new trends emerge, Zara can react quickly. Also, it runs its supply chain with a fast but predictable rhythm: Every store places orders on Tuesday/Wednesdy and Friday/Saturday. Both store staff and regular customers know exactly when shipments will arrive.
Certainly, Zara has no shortage of competitors. But few have successfully copied its fast fashion and flexible business model yet.
12. Why do customers visit Zara stores more frequently?
A. Because of its regular huge discounts.
B. Because of its wide variety of clothing.
C. Because of the high quality of its products.
D. Because of limited availability of its items.
13. How has Zara developed a super-responsive supply chain?
A. By predicting future fashion trends accurately.
B. By designing and making new clothes quickly.
C. By making most of goods in or near its headquarters.
D. By having factories in different countries around the world.
14. Which can best explain the underlined phrase?
A. Being too late for delivery.
B. Working on a tight schedule.
C. Failing to take advantage of a chance.
D. Producing products in large quantities.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Ups and downs of Zara.
B. Secrets to Zara’s success.
C. Rules of the fashion industry.
D. Competition in the fashion industry.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Zara的成功在于首先打破了行业规则，然后又重新改写了行业规则。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At Zara, items sell out fast, with new products arriving at stores twice a week. By giving just a short window of opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of products, Zara’s customers are motivated to visit the stores more frequently.(在Zara，商品卖得很快，新产品每周两次到货。通过给顾客短暂的机会来购买数量有限的产品，Zara的顾客会更频繁地光顾这家店。)”可知，Zara的顾客之所以更频繁地光顾这家店是因为其只给顾客短暂的机会来购买数量有限的产品。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In contrast to traditional outsourcing production, Zara has developed a super-responsive supply chain by concentrating more than half of its production in Spain (the birthplace) and its nearby countries. This means it can design, produce, and deliver a new item of clothing to its stores in a quarter of the normal time.(与传统的外包生产不同，Zara将一半以上的生产集中在西班牙（诞生地）及其周边国家，从而建立了一个反应灵敏的供应链。这意味着它可以在正常时间的四分之一内设计、生产并将一件新衣服送到商店。)”可知，Zara将一半以上的生产集中在西班牙（诞生地）及其周边国家，从而建立了一个反应灵敏的供应链。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词组上一句“Zara, however, intentionally deals in small numbers.(然而，Zara有意以小批量销售。)”可知，Zara以小批量销售商品。再根据划线词组上文“Because of the greater flexibility and speed this approach affords(由于这种方式提供了更大的灵活性和速度)”和下文“When new trends emerge, Zara can react quickly.(当新趋势出现时，Zara能迅速做出反应)”可知，Zara以小批量销售商品的方式更加灵活，供货速度也更快，对于新的流行趋势反应迅速。由此可以推断，这种方式不会担心会错过潮流。选项C“Failing to take advantage of a chance.(没有抓住机会)”，符合句意。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Zara is now one of the world’s hottest fashion chains. The secret to its success is that Zara stands out in supply chain management. In fact, Zara succeeds by first breaking and then rewriting industry rules.(Zara现在是世界上最热门的时尚连锁店之一。Zara成功的秘诀在于其在供应链管理方面的突出表现。事实上，Zara的成功在于首先打破了行业规则，然后又重新改写了行业规则。)”、文章最后一段“Certainly, Zara has no shortage of competitors. But few have successfully copied its fast fashion and flexible business model yet. (当然，Zara不乏竞争对手。但很少有公司成功复制了它的快时尚和灵活的商业模式。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要分析了Zara这一品牌成功的秘诀。故选B。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It can feel good to be right, but when we find new information that makes us feel good about something we already believe, how can we be sure we aren’t just engaging in confirmation bias (确认偏误)?
Confirmation bias is our tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs. ____16____ These ways are aimed at supporting, rather than challenging, pre-existing beliefs. This is especially true for information about things that feel very important to us. People usually don’t engage in confirmation bias on purpose. But research has found that it is real. ____17____
For example if an actor you support was caught in a scandal (丑闻), you might be more likely to believe explanations that make him look less guilty. ____18____
So what can we do to avoid confirmation bias? One thing we can do is to try to look for strong evidence that actually contradicts (相矛盾) our beliefs. This can help us check if we only believe certain things instead of considering other possibilities. ____19____ Even if we don’t agree with them, we might learn why someone thinks the way they do. It can help us understand that there may be other ways to see the same issue.
____20____ The thing we most want to believe might not be true. We should try to learn more before deciding how we feel about something, even if it’s very important to us. But that’s often easier said than done.
A. And it influences people’s judgment.
B. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to spot.
C. We tend to ignore information that contradicts it.
D. It can also be helpful to talk to people who don’t share our beliefs.
E. Most importantly, we have to be careful not to jump to conclusions.
F. It also describes our attempt to find ways of explaining unclear information.
G. Meanwhile, people who dislike him would probably believe what makes him look worse.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了确认偏误的存在和影响，并提供了一些方法来避免确认偏误。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Confirmation bias is our tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs.(确认偏误是我们倾向于寻找证实我们现有信念的信息。)”可知，我们倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息，结合下文“These ways are aimed at supporting, rather than challenging, pre-existing beliefs.(这些方式旨在支持而不是挑战预先存在的信念。)”可知，空处应与These ways有关，F项“It also describes our attempt to find ways of explaining unclear information.(它还描述了我们试图找到解释不明确信息的方法。)”中的ways与下文中“These ways”呼应，上下文一致，符合文意，故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“People usually don’t engage in confirmation bias on purpose. But research has found that it is real.(人们通常不会故意进行确认偏误。但研究发现它是真实的。)”可知人们不会故意进行确认偏误，但是还是会发生，如果发生确认偏误，就会影响人们的判断，与A项“And it influences people’s judgment.(它会影响人们的判断。)”上下文一致，故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For example, if an actor you support was caught in a scandal (丑闻), you might be more likely to believe explanations that make him look less guilty.(例如，如果你支持的演员陷入丑闻，你可能更有可能相信让他看起来不那么内疚的解释。)”可知，个人喜好影响下确认偏误更容易发生，人们更倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息，与G项“Meanwhile, people who dislike him would probably believe what makes him look worse.(与此同时，不喜欢他的人可能会相信是什么让他看起来更糟。)”上下文一致，G项中的him与上文中的him为前后呼应，故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“One thing we can do is to try to look for strong evidence that actually contradicts (相矛盾) our beliefs. This can help us check if we only believe certain things instead of considering other possibilities. (我们可以做的一件事是尝试寻找与我们的信念相矛盾的有力证据。这可以帮助我们检查我们是否只相信某些事情，而不是考虑其他可能性。)”可知本段主要讲述避免确认偏误的方法，寻找与自己信念相矛盾的强有力证据，与D项“It can also be helpful to talk to people who don’t share our beliefs.(与那些与我们信仰不符的人交谈也会有所帮助。)”上下文一致，其中的“talk to people”与下文“Even if we don’t agree with them, we might learn why someone thinks the way they do.(即使我们不同意他们的观点，我们也可能会知道为什么有人会这样想。)”中的don’t agree with them前后呼应，为避免确认偏误的方法之一，符合文意，故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“We should try to learn more before deciding how we feel about something, even if it’s very important to us.(在决定我们对某事的感受之前，我们应该尝试了解更多，即使它对我们来说非常重要。)”可知，作者建议避免过早的下结论，与E项“Most importantly, we have to be careful not to jump to conclusions.(最重要的是，我们必须小心不要妄下结论。)”上下文一致，E项中的“conclusions”与下文中“deciding how we feel about something”为前后呼应，符合文意，故选E项。

考查时态。句意：作为一个游历过世界各地并写过世界各地文章的人，中国在勒夫曼心中占有独特的一席之地。分析句子结构，以as开头的介词短语中包含定语从句，先行词为someone，因空白处在定语从句中作谓语且从句表达的是过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，从句谓语动词使用现在完成时，因定语从句的主语someone为单数，故填has traveled。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处后面有名词短语unique place，根据名词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词，表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面词unique的首字母发音为辅音音素，故填a。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他解释说，他喜欢这里的风景、独特的历史以及生活在那里的不同民族。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为peoples，因空白处在定语从句中做主语指人，可以使用who或that引导定语从句，故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：勒夫曼在中国目睹的最重大的变化之一是国家的快速现代化和发展。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语且句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语One of the most significant changes为单数，故填is。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：他回忆起曾经参观过的城市，这些城市曾经很小，相对不发达，但现在已经成为繁荣的现代城市。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语使用副词，故填relatively。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名作家，勒夫曼出版了几本关于中国的书，包括《丝绸之路》、《中国西南》和《中国长城》。分析句子结构，““The Silk Road” “China’s Southwest” and “The Great Wall of China”(《丝绸之路》、《中国西南》和《中国长城》)”与空白处共同构成了独立主格结构，所以空白处应使用非谓语动词，因空白处与其逻辑主语“The Silk Road” “China’s Southwest” and “The Great Wall of China”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，使用过去分词，故填included。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：他的作品帮助读者了解了中国的美丽和复杂。分析句子结构，introduce sb to sth为固定句型，含义为“向某人介绍……”，符合句意，故填to。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：勒夫曼说，尽管他在中国旅行多年，但他对这个国家还有很多需要了解的地方。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做定语，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to learn。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：他一直着迷于中国文化和历史的丰富性和多样性，并期待着在未来几年继续探索这个国家。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做介词by的宾语，使用名词，故填richness。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作定语修饰后面名词years，因与其逻辑主语years之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填coming。

【答案】Possible versions：
[1]
Dear Editor,
I am writing to share my view on the upcoming English Classics Reading activity in our school. I believe it is best to read the original versions of the literary works.
Reading the originals allows us to appreciate the authors’ authentic language, providing a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical context. Studying originals can also foster critical thinking skills and language proficiency. Complex structures and vocabulary challenge students, promoting intellectual growth and linguistic development.
In conclusion, prioritizing original English literature ensures a richer and more authentic experience. Let’s embrace the power of the originals in our reading activity.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Editor,
As to reading classics, reading the adapted versions is a reasonable choice, especially for those who may struggle with English.
As a student, I understand the challenges that come along with the complexity and language barriers in originals. Adapted versions maintain the essence of the story with simplified languages and sentence structures. Moreover, the adapted versions help bridge the gap between different levels of language proficiency. Adapted versions make great works more accessible to all students, regardless of their proficiency level.
In conclusion, including adapted versions in our reading activity would make it more engaging and inclusive.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 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。
Dude
The first time my husband Bart told me about his horse, Dude, I knew their bond had been something special.
Growing up on a family farm, Bart loved all animals. But Dude, a birthday gift Bart received when he turned nine, became his favorite. Years later when Bart’s father sold Dude, Bart grieved (悲痛) in secret.
One evening, as we took a walk, Bart suddenly asked, “Did I ever tell you Dude won the World Racking Horse Championship?”
“Rocking?” asked I.
“Racking, it’s a kind of dancing horses do.” Bart corrected, smiling gently. “Dude was the greatest and most intelligent racking horse ever. Whenever I whistled (吹口哨), he would run at me and dance.”
“Then why’d you let your dad sell him?” I asked.
Bart explained, “When I found a job away from home, Dad figured I wouldn’t be riding anymore, so he sold Dude without even asking me. Running a horse farm means you buy and sell horses all the time.”
“I’ve always wondered if that horse missed me as much as I’ve missed him. I’ve never had the heart to try to find him. I couldn’t stand knowing if something bad. . . .” Bart’s voice trailed off (减弱).
My heart ached for him. I didn’t know what to do. Then one day while walking through the pasture (牧场), a strange thought came to me — finding Dude for Bart. How absurd! I thought. I knew nothing about Dude, certainly not how to find him. The harder I tried to dismiss the thought, the stronger it grew.
One morning after that first “find Dude” thought, I met with our new neighbor, Mr. Parker, and started a friendly conversation. When he mentioned he’d once bought a horse from Bart’s dad, I interrupted. “You remember the horse’s name?” I asked.
“Sure do.” Mr. Parker said. “Dude. Paid twenty-five hundred dollars for him.”
I went wild with joy, barely catching my breath. “Do you know what happened to him?”
“I sold him for a good profit years ago.”
“Would you be willing to try to help me find him?” I asked. And then I explained the situation.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】Possible versions：
[1]
Mr. Parker agreed to join the search, promising not to say anything to Bart. For nearly a year, there was no result to our secret search and we almost lost hope. One morning, Mr. Parker phoned me. “Hard work paid off! Dude’s been found!” he shouted, “It is on a farm in Georgia and Dude is well.” I couldn’t wait to contact the family and tried to persuade them to sell Dude to me. When I shared with them our story, they agreed. On that very weekend, I invited Bart to drive to Georgia, promising to give him a surprise. Three hours later, we finally parked on a beautiful farm.
Getting out of the car, I asked Bart to whistle as he used to do to Dude. Bart hesitated but whistled. Nothing happened. He whistled again, and we heard a sound in the distance. Suddenly, a horse at a gallop came into sight . Before I could speak, Bart leapt over the fence. “Dude!” he yelled, running towards his beloved friend. I watched the horse and Bart meet like one of those slow-motion reunion scenes on television, moved to tears. Later that evening, we got Dude back home. The moon cast a warm light over us and Bart hugged me and thanked for my surprise, smiling with tears in his eyes.
[2]
Mr. Parker agreed to join the search, promising not to say anything to Bart. We sprang into action. Mr. Parker managed to make contact with the former buyer and got some information about Bart. We then spent weeks searching and making phone calls. No good news came until one day, we finally got a lead. We found out that Dude was living on a farm in the south. I then told Bart I wanted a trip to the south. And he agreed. On the appointed day, we set off. Not knowing the purpose of the trip, Bart looked calm, while I was excited, picturing their reunion. With the mixed feelings, we arrived at the destination.
Getting out of the car, I asked Bart to whistle as he used to do to Dude. He was a little confused at my request, but did as told. Then came the sound of horse hooves. Eyes wide open, I saw a horse galloping towards us. Bart’s face lit up, and tears streamed down his cheeks as he embraced his long-lost friend. As I watched the two friends reconnecting, it was evident that the bond they shared had never been broken. That day, we came back with Dude. Along the way, Bart shared with me their stories and his planning arrangements for Dude. And I knew, the return of Dude had given him more than just a horse.
