A
The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for £300, but most ebikes cost nearly £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: £2, 799 | Weight: 13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from £2, 995 | Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: £5, 380 | Weight: 28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands?
A. They are more lightweight. B. They have more functions.
C. They have easier access to service. D. They are more comfortable.
2. Which ebike will a consumer probably choose, who cares most about an excellent experience?
A. Carbo Model X. B. The VanMoofs and the Cowboys.
C. Temple Cycles Classic. D. Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. An online post. B. A magazine column.
C. A market research report. D. An official document.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是Cycling Electric推荐的三款电动自行车。

Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.(Temples的专用部件较少，因此在任何自行车商店都可以维修。尽管VanMoofs和Cowboys可能很时髦，但要获得支持和服务可能会有点复杂。)”可知，Temples比其他时尚的电动自行车品牌的优势是它们更容易获得服务。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一款车的介绍部分的“This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality— if you can afford it.(如果你能负担得起的话，这是一个注重细节，在功能、舒适和实用性方面提供高质量体验的典型例子。)”可知，最关心良好的体验的消费者会选择Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.(现在，旨在帮助消费者选择电动自行车的Cycling Electric提供了以下建议。)”可知，主要介绍的是Cycling Electric推荐的三款电动自行车，因此很可能是来自于一个杂志专栏。故选B。
B
Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME — Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance.
His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-styled dance on YouTube. “I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi.
Ever since, he has been closely following Chinese dance performers and watching numerous videos to learn more about the traditional style that he admires. “I prefer the traditional style because of its light movements. It also reflects my personality with elegance,” he adds.
Filippi’s chance came when he was invited to perform for a Chinese New Year celebration in the central Italian city of Florence. He has since fully committed himself to the art form, learning several pieces and putting his newfound passion into practice.
“The biggest difference that I found (compared to other disciplines) is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed to shift from the dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance. Despite various obstacles, Filippi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views.
Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth. “I like to think of a person as a book,” he says. “Embracing different traditions and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many others, is like adding new chapters to my book, making it more diverse and wonderful.”
4. What is the main reason why Filippi falls in love with traditional Chinese dance?
A. Its potential to boost his career. B. Its mix of traditional and modern elements.
C. Its graceful and light movements. D. Its true reflection of his elegant personality.
5. How does the author illustrate the popularity of Filippi’s videos?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By sharing a story. D. By making a comparison.
6 What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Filippi thinks little of learning from other cultures.
B. People prefer to write down their past experiences.
C. Accepting various cultures boosts personal growth.
D. A book with chapters on traditions is more wonderful.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A Chinese-styled dance videos go viral on social media.
B. An Italian’s dance journey towards specialization starts.
C. Filippi’s desire for Chinese culture extends beyond dance.
D. An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是意大利舞蹈演员Niccolo Filippi最近决定探索中国文化及其传统舞蹈形式，并相信这段经历不仅会促进他的职业生涯，还会拓宽他在舞蹈世界之外的视野。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的““I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi.(Filippi说：“我认为这是一种结合了传统与现代的艺术，这也是我喜欢它的主要原因。”)”可知，Filippi爱上中国传统舞蹈的主要原因是它融合了传统和现代元素。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500, 000 views, while the other received 200, 000 views.(他的两个朋友在社交媒体上分享了他的表演视频，反响非常热烈。其中一个视频获得了50万次观看，而另一个则获得了20万次观看)”可推知，作者通过列出数字说明Filippi的视频的受欢迎程度。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth.(Filippi认为学习不同的文化是无价的，他认为这是个人成长的一种方式)”可推知，从最后一段可以推断出接受不同的文化能促进个人成长。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME— Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance.(23岁的意大利舞蹈演员Niccolo Filippi在舞池ROME里呆了十多年，最近他决定探索中国文化及其传统舞蹈形式，并相信这段经历不仅会促进他的职业生涯，还会拓宽他在舞蹈世界之外的视野)”可知，本文主要讲的是意大利舞蹈演员Niccolo Filippi最近决定探索中国文化及其传统舞蹈形式，并相信这段经历不仅会促进他的职业生涯，还会拓宽他在舞蹈世界之外的视野。由此可知，D选项“An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance.(一位意大利舞者对中国风格的舞蹈表现出热情)”能够概括本文主旨。故选D。
C
Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.
To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stones used by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).
Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.
Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.
B. Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.
C. Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.
D. The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.
9. Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3?
A. To provide specific proof. B. To clarify a complex concept.
C. To present an interesting fact. D. To make a detailed comparison.
10. What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study?
A. Why macaques create flakes. B. Why hominins used stone tools.
C. How macaques cut food with flakes. D. How hominins began using flakes.
11. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A mistake: the origin of human technology.
B. Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.
C. Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.
D. A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项动物研究，介绍了我们早期人类因为意外情况使用工具的情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).(Luncz和Proffitt分析了这些石头，发现了一个令人惊讶的事实：猕猴无意中产生的薄片看起来很像人类故意制造的最古老的石器。)”可知，猕猴制作的薄片与人类的石器相似。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3. 3 million and 1. 5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting.(然而，从一些已知最早的遗址中收集到的类似的古代石器显示出用于切割任务的证据。例如，在奥尔德万，一个可以追溯到大约330万到150万年前的遗址。研究人员分析了这些工具的使用磨损模式，发现一些薄片的边缘有损伤，表明它们曾被用来切割。)”可推断，作者提到奥尔德万遗址是为了提供具体的证据来说明古代石器用于切割任务。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies. (尽管有了这些发现，为了揭示薄片技术出现的机制，研究人员仍然需要了解人类是如何从偶然产生尖锐的薄片到捡起并使用它们的。Luncz和Proffitt希望在进一步的研究中找到缺失的环节。)”可知，为了揭示薄片技术背后的机制，研究者们仍然需要了解古人类是如何从意外产生锋利的薄片，到捡起并使用它们的。伦茨和普罗菲特希望在接下来的研究中可以找到缺失的这一环（即原始人是如何开始使用薄片的），故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本篇是一篇科研报告类文章，第一段的“In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives“ first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.( 在周五发表在《科学进展》上的一项新研究中，德国莱比锡马克斯普朗克进化人类学研究所的Lydia Luncz和Tomos Proffitt认为，错误地制造出的薄片可能是我们的古代祖先或其他现已灭绝的早期人类亲戚制造出锋利的工具的第一步，他们用来屠宰动物和切割可食用的植物。)”点明了新研究的结果，后文详细描述了研究过程和局限性及等未来研究前景，因此推断B项“薄片技术：从猕猴到人类。”为最佳标题。故选B项。
D
MICROSOFT says it has used the natural language AI ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI, to control a range of robots with simple text commands.
The chatbot was trained on a vast amount of data, including source code. It has previously demonstrated the ability to write software based on text and even to fix errors in existing code. Microsoft has now used the AI to take text commands from humans and interpret them into code that can control robots directly. In one test, ChatGPT wrote code to instruct a robotic arm to create a Microsoft logo from wooden blocks. In another, it steered a drone to reach a point while avoiding obstacles. The research was intended ”to see if ChatGPT can think beyond text, and reason about the physical world to help with robotics tasks“.
ChatGPT isn’t in direct, real-time control of the robot, but simply creates the code that controls it. Microsoft said in its blog post that ChatGPT output shouldn’t be applied directly to a robot without ”careful analysis“, but experts warn that it is risky to even begin thinking about placing AI in control of physical machines.
Mark Coeckelbergh at the University of Vienna, Austria, says that regulations may be needed in order to set out where AI can be used and who is responsible should things go wrong. ”It’s a very dangerous thing to just say “let’s give control of these computers to AI’, ” says Coeckelbergh. “The problem with contemporary artificial intelligence is that it’s not transparent to the user. That’s a huge problem. ”
Others were sceptical about the ability of language models to program robots for complex tasks. Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University Leicester, UK, says that AI language models are convincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability-including their adaptability to control robots-is often exaggerated. “I think Microsoft, and most people who design robots, have too much confidence in what they can do, ” she says.
12. Which function doesn’t belong to ChatGPT according to MICROSOFT?
A. Create code. B. Correct code errors.
C. Write software. D. Control robots directly.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Experts agree that we can apply AI to code analysis.
B. Experts warn against the idea of using AI to control robots.
C. Microsoft believes ChatGPT output should be used indirectly.
D. ChatGPT output has been widely applied after careful analysis.
14. What does the underlined word “exaggerated” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Neglected. B. Simplified. C. Overestimated. D. Praised.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the ability of ChatGPT to control robots?
A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了不同群体对于ChatGPT应用的不同态度及观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“It has previously demonstrated the ability to write software based on text and even to fix errors in existing code. Microsoft has now used the AI to take text commands from humans and interpret them into code that can control robots directly(它之前已经展示了基于文本编写软件的能力，甚至可以修复现有代码中的错误。微软现在已经使用人工智能从人类那里获取文本命令，并将其翻译成可以直接控制机器人的代码)”可知，ChatGPT展示了基于文本提示编写软件的能力，可以修复现有代码中的错误，微软现在已经使用人工智能从人类那里获取文本命令，并将其翻译成可以直接控制机器人的代码，说明ChatGPT可以编写代码；也说明ChatGPT是通过代码间接控制机器人，而不是直接控制机器人，故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Microsoft said in its blog post that ChatGPT output shouldn’t be applied directly to a robot without “careful analysis”, but experts warn that it is risky to even begin thinking about placing AI in control of physical machines.(微软在其博客文章中表示，在没有“仔细分析”的情况下，ChatGPT的输出不应该直接应用于机器人，但专家警告说，甚至开始考虑将人工智能应用于物理机器的控制都是有风险的)”可知，专家反对使用人工智能来控制机器人的想法，故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段的“AI language models are convincing mimics(人工智能语言模型是令人信服的模仿者)”及but可知，划线词与前面convincing相反意思，再根据划线词后面I think Microsoft, and most people who design robots, have too much confidence in what they can do（我认为微软和大多数设计机器人的人，都过于相信这些机器人能做的事情）可推断，划线句句意是：它们的真正能力——包括控制机器人的适应性——经常被夸大。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Microsoft said in its blog post that ChatGPT output shouldn’t be applied directly to a robot without ”careful analysis“, but experts warn that it is risky to even begin thinking about placing AI in control of physical machines. (微软在其博客文章中表示，在没有“仔细分析”的情况下，ChatGPT的输出不应该直接应用于机器人，但专家警告说，甚至开始考虑将人工智能应用于物理机器的控制都是有风险的)”，第四段的“Mark Coeckelbergh at the University of Vienna, Austria, says that regulations may be needed in order to set out where AI can be used and who is responsible should things go wrong.(奥地利维也纳大学的Mark Coeckelbergh表示，可能需要制定法规，以便确定人工智能可以在哪里使用，以及如果出现问题谁应该负责)”，最后一段的“Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University Leicester, UK, says that AI language models are convincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability-including their adaptability to control robots-is often exaggerated.(英国莱斯特德蒙福特大学的凯瑟琳·理查森说，人工智能语言模型是令人信服的模仿者，但它们的真正能力——包括控制机器人的适应性——往往被夸大了)”可推断作者介绍了微软官方对于ChatGPT操控机器人的言论，客观引用了各界观点，并未发表个人想法，故选A项。

It is commonly thought that productivity involves doing several things at once. ___16___ Newport, the author of Deep Work, describes the benefits of focusing on one thing and doing it with excellence. He explains deep work as “the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively (认知地) demanding task.” ___17___
According to Newport, deep work is an invaluable skill in today’s economy. It allows you to learn difficult things quickly. Most people are distracted when they work, so if you learn to work without distraction, that gives you an advantage. ___18___ Developing excellence in one’s craft can be deeply satisfying.
It’s important to schedule deep work into your day. Otherwise, it’s easy to let your time fill up with shallow work. Newport recommends doing deep work as your first task of the day. ___19___ Shallow work does need to get done, but if you save it for later in the day, you can get your deep work done, too.
Because deep work is by definition cognitively demanding, you won’t be able to do it all day. Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for approximately an hour, and even experts have trouble going more than four hours. ___20___ If you really focus, you’ll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.
A. So set reasonable goals for yourself.
B. Concentration is an increasingly valuable skill.
C. That way you get it done before distractions build up.
D. But the secret to success is the opposite of multitasking.
E. Without smartphones, you fall into deep work more easily.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了《论语》的由来及其核心理念。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：它是在战国早期，孔子死后70多年，由他的弟子根据他们的问题的答案所做的笔记。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据谓语动词in the early Warring States Period可知，此处应使用一般过去时，且make与句子主语it之间为被动关系，且主语是第三人称单数。故填was made。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：它是在战国早期，孔子死后70多年，由他的弟子根据他们的问题的答案所做的笔记。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定用法 answer to sth.表示“……的答案”，所以此处应使用介词to。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：现在的《论语》是根据汉代编纂的《鲁论语》改编的，包含了儒家的“仁”的概念。结合句意可知，此处指的是儒家的“仁”的概念，所以应为特指概念，所以此处应使用定冠词the。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这一理念的核心是“仁者见仁”或“博爱”，这是高尚君子的基本美德。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处应使用关系代词，先行词 “The benevolent love of others” or universal love意为“仁者见仁”或者“博爱”指的是事物，且that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：孔子认为，仁者不等于无原则。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语，根据mean doing sth.意为“意味着”符合句意，所以此处应使用动名词形式。故填being。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个人应该清楚地知道爱什么或恨什么。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定结构“疑问词+to do”结构作宾语，所以此处应为不定式形式，结合句意可知，此处表示主动意义。故填to love。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：当然礼和乐都是很重要的，然而，仁是做人的第一原则。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语，结合句意可知，空前与空后的内容为转折关系，有逗号与主句隔开，所以此处应为howevert，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填However。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：没有仁，就没有礼，就没有乐。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，meaning的形容词为meaningful意为“有意义的”和meaningless意为“无意义的”，结合句意，此处表示“无意义的”符合句意。故填meaningless。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：“义”是在“仁”的指导下的行为准则，“仁者惜法，小人惜恩”。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，guide的名词为guidance意为“引导”，不可数名词，under the guidance of意为“在……的指导下”。故填guidance。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：“义”是在“仁”的指导下的行为准则，“仁者惜法，小人惜恩”。分析句子结构可知，此处为应为连词连接两个句子，结合句意，空前与空后的句子之间为对比关系，所以此处应使用while意为“然而”符合句意。故填while。

Learning New Skills
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The new skill I acquired was skating. The process is challenging but productive.
Initially, on watching the Winter Olympics Games in Beijing, I became enthusiastic about skating. From then on, I was determined to master this fascinating sport. However, at the very beginning, when I stepped on the ice, I stumbled over myself. Hard as I strive, I still fell over again and again. The moment I thought of the athletes on the field, I was inspired by their powerful spirits. Eventually, my persistence and painstaking efforts paid off. I can skate freely all by myself.
From the learning experience, I fully understand that only by diligent practicing can we overcome many kinds of difficulties. And eventually, we can have a good command of what we desire to learn. (129words)

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。
Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters? What are you going to do with your life? Aren’t you interested in anything at all?” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived. Then I hurried to the school with my parents. It was beyond my wildest dream till that moment. As a matter of fact, I doubted then whether I was in the dream. I normally dreaded the long walk to the school. But that day was different. There seemed to be something in the air, an electric current, connecting my body to the letter. When I got it, I was really afraid that the envelop was empty. But there was a white package inside. With my heart beating faster, I wondered whether it could really be what was expected.
My parents excitedly said behind me, “Well, open the envelop!” What I grabbed in my hands contained everything I had been waiting for. Slowly, I opened it and a flash of CONGRATULATIONS in bold bright letters caught my eyes. A feeling of happiness and relief rushed through my body. I was holding my first offer from a good college. Needless to say, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the countless hours of studying and writing, but most importantly, my parents’ constant reminders, in fact, were the best form of education for me. “Thank you, Mom and Dad!” I said gratefully.
