2．Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school.It must be wonderful to be a bird，she thought.Total freedom.No math class to sit in；and her days would be spent on horseback.She thought of her horse，Star.
"Madison.Could you please join us again？" Mrs.Smith said. "I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment."
"Well.I didn't have any problems doing it，but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it." Some giggling spread through the room.
"Madison.I don't know what I am going to do with jye.ai.You're such a smart girl but you just don't apply yourself.Class，clear your desks.Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon.He is a veterinarian （獸醫）.He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program."
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid.Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying.Then a word caught her attention.Horse.Was he talking about horses？
Gradually，Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse，Star，needed care.She liked it that he even knew her horse's name. "So，you just travel around and take care of horses all day long？"
Doctor Landon nodded. "I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county.It is a lot of work，but I love it."
Madison's mouth fell open.What a life that must be，she thought.At that moment，sitting in class，Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger.By the time she got off the bus that afternoon，her plans for the afternoon had changed.She was still going to ride Star，but first she was going to spend an hour studying math.Then tomorrow she'd spend an hour studying science.

3．The idea of low material desire，low consumption and refusing to work，marry and have children，concluded as a "lying down" lifestyle，recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials（千禧一代）and generation Zs （z世代，1995-2009年間出生的人）complained to the Global Times that burdens，including work stress，family disputes（紛爭） and financial strains，have pushed them "against the wall".They said they hate the "involution （內卷），" joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
"Instead of always following the 'virtues' of struggle，endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses，they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis（宣泄）and adjustment，" said a scholar. "It is no wonder that some young people，under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage（按揭）today，would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind."
Interestingly，the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times，who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy，acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest.It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions，some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work.But in fact，lying down is not entirely comfortable.Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale（士氣）far beyond their reach.
"Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future，but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges，" a postgraduate student told the Global Times. "It's no use running away.I have to 'stand up' and face the reality sooner or later."
（1）What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Warned.
B．Criticized.
C．Touched.
D．Amused.
（2）What might have caused the "lying down" lifestyle among the young？
A．Improvements in living conditions.
B．Growing pressure from family and social life.
C．Increasing material possessions from families.
D．Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
（3）What's the scholar's attitude toward the "lying down" group？
A．Understanding.
B．Intolerant.
C．Supportive.
D．Unclear.
（4）What can be inferred about the young generation from the text？
A．They never really drop their responsibilities.
B．They really enjoy the "lying down" lifestyle.
C．They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D．They would rather escape than take challenges.組卷：0引用：7難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
In our kitchen，there was a wooden table and three chairs — one for Dad，one for Mom，and one for me.In the cellar （地窖），the very last jar of apple jam lay quietly on the shelf，waiting to be turned into an apple pie when Dad came back.Mom sat at one end of the table.I sat in the middle between her and Dad.I tried not to look at Dad's empty place.Dad had gone to the city to look for work for a long time.
Every night，I lay awake in bed and waited for the train to stop.Waited to hear the creaky（嘎吱作響的）gate Dad's going to fix when he came home.Waited to hear the sound of his work boots dropping on the step by the kitchen door，and his voice calling， "I'm home!"
Every night，as I lay there，I stared at the window and the curtains Mom made from empty flour sacks（麻布袋）.
Every night，Mom came to kiss me good-night — after the train's gone by.She had been listening，too. "Go to sleep.Your dad will be home soon.Maybe for Thanksgiving."
Time dragging by，it finally came the day before Thanksgiving.I went to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head，whispering， "Maybe tomorrow，maybe tomorrow."
Early the next morning，the smell of coffee woke me.I ran into the kitchen.There he was!Dad lifted me onto his shoulders and pretended to stagger from my weight. "How's my boy？You've gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore."
He put me down，and I stared at the two sacks on the table.One said FLOUR — I knew that word.I tried reading the other：S-U-G-A-R.Dad whistled admiringly and winked at me.Mom and I had been practicing my letters most days.I could see that Mom was pleased with me. "I'm going to bake a pie for your dad's homecoming dinner.Jimmy，bring me that jar of apple jam from the shelf in the cellar." Mom smiled at me.
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
Hearing this，I took the steps two at a time to the cellar.___________.
"Never mind，boy，accidents happen，" Dad said and wiped my tears.___________.組卷：3引用：5難度：0.4
