Jennifer Keelan was a young girl who had dreams of one day attending college and living a satisfactory life. At age 2, Jennifer was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), leaving her using a wheelchair. Jennifer was a bright and courageous girl, but when she attempted to attend school with her friends, she was sent to separate classes for students with disabilities, regardless of talent. She found herself unable to attend some school functions, use transit systems and access government buildings. Jennifer accepted the limitations of her physical life, but not the limitations of the physical world around her.
Jennifer became active in campaigning for the Americans with Disabilities Act. She engaged in peaceful protests and, at age 7, was arrested in Montreal, a moment in history that shocked North America.
At age 8, Jennifer traveled to Washington, D．C． The shy, yet determined little girl caught the attention of the country when she climbed up the Capitol steps. It worked. Jennifer met with Congress, and President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law.
Jennifer remains an activist today, making sure all people with disabilities are treated fairly and have equal access to public places, schools and businesses. The only barriers that remain are those of view.
Jennifer wants all of us to know that physical disabilities are not a barrier to friendship, career opportunities or love. She graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in family and human development. She is now 39 years old and still sharing the message of inclusivity (包容性) . For her, like all of us, making a difference begins one step at a time, no matter how hard it is. She remains a lifelong activist for the disability rights movement.
24．What prevented Jennifer studying with her friends?
A．Her serious illness. B．Her low intelligence.
C．Her born language barrier. D．Her poor learning ability.
25．What made North America amazed about Jennifer?

C．Her entering the Capitol alone. D．Her being elected as president.
26．What happened due to Jennifer’s effort?
A．The law of the United State changed a lot. B．Bush met the representatives of the disabled.
C．Arizona State University accepted the disabled. D．The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed.
27．What is the best title of this text?
A．A Girl Managed to Enter the Congress B．A Girl Makes a Difference to the Country
C．A Girl Succeeded in Attending the College D．A Girl Struggles for the Rights of the Disabled

People always underestimate (低估) others’ desire for constructive feedback (反馈) and therefore don’t provide it, even when it can improve another person’s performance. according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
Previous research suggests people avoid giving feedback because they’re afraid that it will embarrass or upset the other person, or that doing so may harm their relationships. Nicole Abi-Esber of Harvard Business School and her colleagues theorized there might be another reason why people refuse to give feedback: They simply don’t fully recognize the potential of their input to improve others’ outcomes, leading them to underestimate others’ desire for such feedback.
To test their theory, the researchers conducted a series of experiments involving 1,984 participants. In one experiment. participants were presented with 10 imaginary awkward social situations at work, where they could either give or receive constructive feedback, In another experiment, participants were asked to recall a situation where they could either have given or received constructive feedback. In the final experiment, participants were paired, with one practising a speech for a competition and the other assigned to listen and provide feedback.
Across all the experiments, people in a position to give feedback consistently underestimated potential receivers’ desire for it. The more consequential the feedback was, the more likely participants were to underestimate the other’s need for feedback and the less likely they were to offer it. The gap was smaller in more everyday, less important situations, such as when the other person had food on their face.
The researchers were surprised to find that simply asking people to quickly reflect “If you were this person, would you want feedback?” helped participants recognize the value of feedback to the other person and helped close the giver-receiver gap. “Take a second and ask yourself if you would want feedback if you were them. Most likely you would, and this realization can help empower you to give them feedback,” said Abi-Esber.
“Feedback is key to personal growth and improvement.” said coauthor Francesca Gino, also of Harvard Business School. “The next time you hear someone mispronounce a word, or see a dirty mark on their shirt, point it out to them — they probably want feedback more than you think.”
28．What makes people fail to give feedback according to previous research?
A．Their own sense of embarrassment. B．Their fear of unpleasant outcomes.
C．Their poor ability to interact with others. D．Their failure to realize others’ needs.
29．What does the underlined word “consequential” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Regular. B．Understandable.
C．Important. D．Achievable.
30．How can people be made more willing to offer constructive feedback?
A．Urge them to recall great feelings of helping others.
B．Train them to pay attention to much bigger problems.
C．Encourage them to ask about the other persons’ desire.
D．Get them to imagine they’re in the other persons’ shoes.
31．What does Francesca Gino mainly try to do in the last paragraph?
A．Present a fact. B．Give warnings.
C．Provide advice. D．Make a summary.

The British has obeyed the “keep to the left” rule for long. Have you ever wondered why? There is a historical reason for this: it’s all to do with keeping your sword hand free! In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling on horseback. Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you, your right hand would be free to use your sword if required.
Indeed the “keep to the left” rule goes back even further in time; archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that the Romans drove carts and wagons on the left, and it is known that Roman soldiers always marched on the left. This “rule of the road” was officially sanctioned in 1300 AD when Pope (教皇) Boniface Ⅷ declared that all pilgrims (朝圣者) travelling to Rome should keep to the left.
This continued until the late 1700s when large wagons became popular for transporting goods. These wagons were drawn by several pairs of horses and had no driver’s seat. Instead, in order to control the horses, the driver sat on the horse at the back left, thus keeping his whip hand free. Sitting on the left however made it difficult to judge the traffic coming the other way, as anyone who has driven a left-hand drive car along the winding lanes of Britain will agree!
In Britain there wasn’t much call tor these massive wagons and the smaller British vehicles had seats for the driver to sit on behind the horses. As most people are right-handed, the driver would sit to the right of the seat so his whip hand was free. Traffic congestion in 18th century London led to a law being passed to make all traffic on London Bridge keep to the left in order to reduce collisions. This rule was incorporated (并入) into the Highway Act of 1835 and was adopted throughout the British Empire.
32．What probably happened in the Middle Ages?
A．Passers-by walked on the right. B．Strangers fought every time they met.
C．People would be attacked by strangers. D．Tourists travelled everywhere without limit.
33．What does the underlined word “sanctioned” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Recognized. B．Designed. C．Explained. D．Postponed.
34．What was the attitude of drivers in the late 18th century to driving on the left?
A．Unclear. B．Indifferent. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．What Is the “Keep to the Left” Rule? B．Why Do the British Drive on the Left?
C．Where Was “Drive on the Left” Carried Out? D．When Is the “Keep to the Left” Rule Popular?


五、七选五
With offices slowly re-opening, we may soon be expected to go back to interviewing in the old-fashioned way—in person. During an interview, your main job is to sell yourself as a confident and capable asset. But how can you do that? One thing you should do is think about your body language. 36
● Give a good handshake but not too good. We’ve all heard that a handshake should be firm because one that is too soft can make you appear weak or shy. 37 You should avoid that. Instead, conduct a proper one to make both the interviewers and you comfortable.
● Watch your posture(姿势)and maintain eye contact. 38 Nothing conveys disinterest and lack of confidence like a slouch (懒散的人). And remember that although it may feel uncomfortable at times, eye contact is also key—especially while the other person is talking.
● 39 If you keep putting your hands on or near your face, it can send the message that you’re not comfortable with what you’re saying. When you’re not gesturing, put your hands in your lap. And don’t forget to smile—a smile not only conveys warmth, receptivity and positivity, it also helps reduce stress.
● Listen actively and try using the mirroring technique. Active listening is a key part of any interview. 40 Mirroring or copying someone’s body language is also a powerful way to convey connection. Face your interviewers directly, sit in the same position and try to match the pace and volume of their talk.
A．Don’t gesture but smile.
B．But there is such a thing as too firm.
C．And here are some common red flags to avoid
D．Keep your hands away from your face and smile.
E．This may seem obvious but it bears repeating: Sit up straight.
F．By doing so, you indicate to the interviewers that they have your full attention.
G．Here are a few ways to use body language to your advantage in your job interview.

九、读后续写
67．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。
When I was young, there was an apple orchard (果园) near my home. The man owning the orchard employed some migrant families to gather apples and care for the trees. They worked hard but got paid and fed little.
Once my grandmother struck up a conversation with one of the young women. Her name was Maria. She and her husband, Tony, were expecting a baby. “We’re going to stay with my parents,” Maria said. “We work here to earn money for the bus ticket.”
“They’re going to need a lot of things when the baby comes,” Grandmother told me when we got home. “Let’s ask God to send angels to help that young couple.”
“Angels?” I was surprised.
“If we do our part, angels will do the rest.” she said. Grandmother went to the closet and brought out a box filled with S & H trading stamps, which can be used to buy things. She spilled the pile of stamps on to the kitchen table. “You can see I’ve been saving up the stamps for just the right purchase.”
We sat down at the table and looked through the baby section of the S & H content. My eyes fell on a bassinet (摇篮) with a silk canopy (罩篷) over it. “That’s what a young mother will need,” Grandmother said. “Let’s see if we save 20 books of stamps, we can get a bassinet.”
In the coming weeks, we tried hard to collect the stamps, but before Maria and Tony left, we were three books short. And there were no angels helping us with the stamps either.
“Open the content,” Grandmother said. “Let’s pick a bassinet we can afford.” We chose one without a canopy. The next day we went to the Green Stamp store to get it. “Maria will love this one just as much.”
Grandmother assured me as she pushed the door open. I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Grandmother gave the clerk the information and handed over the 17 books of stamps we saved. The clerk walked to the backroom and returned empty-handed. “I’m sorry,” she said. “We don’t have such a bassinet for the 17 books of stamps.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I couldn’t believe it. No bassinet for the 17 books of stamps.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“That’s a lovely replacement with a canopy,” Grandmother said.

18．C 19．C 20．B

【原文】
W: Everyone, do you know why we say “under the weather” when we’re sick? That just sounds strange, right? To find out, I turned to a publication called Farmers’ Almanac. Farmers’ Almanac is not really meant for language learners. It was founded in 1818 to help American farmers understand more about the natural world around them as they grow and harvest their crops. That is still its purpose today. The Farmers’ Almanac website tells about all things weather-related. To explain “under the weather”, the website published the writing of Richard Lederer, a word expert. Lederer notes that the expression “under the weather” comes from the language of sailors. Imagine being on a boat on rough seas. The waves continually force the boat up and down and side to side. This continual movement can make many people feel seasick. He writes that “on the high seas when the wind would start to blow hard and the waves became rough, crewmen and travelers would go below deck.” They actually went “under the weather” to find safety, shelter and to avoid becoming seasick. Years ago, only sailors described seasick sailors as being “under the weather”. But today, we use this expression anytime when someone is not feeling well.

25．细节理解题。根据第三段“At age 8, Jennifer traveled to Washington, D.C. The shy, yet determined little girl caught the attention of the country when she climbed up the Capitol steps.(8岁时，詹妮弗去了华盛顿特区。当她爬上国会大厦的台阶时，这个害羞但坚定的小女孩引起了全国的关注)”可知，詹妮弗独自进入国会大厦让北美对詹妮弗感到惊讶。故选C。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段“Jennifer met with Congress, and President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law.(詹妮弗会见了国会议员，乔治·H·W·布什总统签署了《美国残疾人法案》，使之成为法律)”可知，由于詹妮弗的努力，《美国残疾人法案》签署了。故选D。
27．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Jennifer remains an activist today, making sure all people with disabilities are treated fairly and have equal access to public places, schools and businesses.(詹妮弗今天仍然是一名积极分子，确保所有残疾人都得到公平对待，并有平等的机会进入公共场所、学校和企业)”以及最后一段“She remains a lifelong activist for the disability rights movement.(她一生都是残疾人权利运动的积极分子)”结合文章主要讲述了女孩Jennifer Keelan因为患病无法和朋友们一起学习，于是参与了和平抗议活动，为残疾人权利做出努力和奋斗。故D选项“一个女孩为残疾人的权利而奋斗”最符合文章标题。故选D。
28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国心理学协会发表的一项研究表明，人们总是低估他人对建设性反馈的渴望，因此不会提供反馈，即使这种反馈可能会有助于提高他人的表现。
【详解】1.细节理解题。 根据第二段“Previous research suggests people avoid giving feedback because they’re afraid that it will embarrass or upset the other person, or that doing so may harm their relationships. (之前的研究表明，人们避免给予反馈是因为他们害怕这会让对方感到尴尬或不安，或者这样做可能会损害他们的关系。)”可知，之前的研究表明，人们未能给出反馈是因为害怕会带来不好的结果。故选B。

2. 词句猜测题。 根据画线词所在句“The more consequential the feedback was, the more likely participants were to underestimate the other’s need for feedback and the less likely they were to offer it. (反馈越consequential，参与者越有可能低估对方对反馈的需求，他们就越不可能提供反馈。)”及画线词后“The gap was smaller in more everyday, less important situations, such as when the other person had food on their face. (在更日常、更不重要的情况下，比如当对方脸上有食物时，这种差距会更小。)”可推断，反馈不太重要，人们就比较愿意给出反馈，反馈越重要，参与者越可能低估对方的需求，不可能提供反馈，画线词的意思与 Important 的意思最为接近。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据第五段的内容“The researchers were surprised to find that simply asking people to quickly reflect “If you were this person, would you want feedback?” helped participants recognize the value of feedback to the other person and helped close the giver-receiver gap. “Take a second and ask yourself if you would want feedback if you were them. Most likely you would, and this realization can help empower you to give them feedback,” said Abi-Esber.(研究人员惊讶地发现，简单地让人们快速反思“如果你是这个人，你想要反馈吗?”帮助参与者认识到反馈对他人的价值，并帮助缩小了给予者和接受者之间的差距。“花点时间问问自己，如果你是他们，你是否需要反馈。很有可能你会，这种认识可以帮助你给他们反馈，”阿比-埃斯伯说。)”可推断，问问自己如果你是这个人，你想要反馈吗，可能会有助于给别人反馈，因此推断如果想让人们更乐意给出建设性的反馈， 让其换位思考是个办法。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。 根据最后一段的内容, 尤其是“The next time you hear someone mispronounce a word, or see a dirty mark on their shirt, point it out to them — they probably want feedback more than you think.(下次你听到别人发错音的时候，或者在他们的衬衫上看到一个脏的标记，指出给他们看——他们可能比你想象的更需要反馈。)”可推断，Francesca Gino建议人们要积极给出反馈、提供建议。故选C。
32．C 33．A 34．C 35．B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了英国人靠左行驶的原因。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段后两句“In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling on horseback. Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you, your right hand would be free to use your sword if required.”（在中世纪，骑马旅行时你永远不知道会遇到谁。大多数人都是右撇子，所以如果一个陌生人从你右边经过，如果需要，你的右手可以随意使用你的剑。）可知，在中世纪人们可能会收到陌生人的攻击。故选C项。
33．词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句中“when Pope (教皇) Boniface Ⅷ declared that all pilgrims (朝圣者) travelling to Rome should keep to the left”（当时教皇博尼法斯八世宣布，所有前往罗马的朝圣者都应该走左边。）可知，当时教皇博尼法斯八世宣布，所有前往罗马的朝圣者都应该靠左行走，也就是说这条规则在公元1300年得到官方认可，从句意可以推断出sanctioned表示“认可”，与recognized“承认”意思相符。故选A项。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Sitting on the left however made it difficult to judge the traffic coming the other way, as anyone who has driven a left-hand drive car along the winding lanes of Britain will agree!”（然而，坐在左边很难判断对面来的车辆，因为任何一个在英国蜿蜒的车道上开过左车的人都会同意这一点。）可知，18世纪末的司机对于左侧驾驶持有否定的态度。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“The British has obeyed the “keep to the left” rule for long. Have you ever wondered why? There is a historical reason for this: it’s all to do with keeping your sword hand free! In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling on horseback.”（长期以来，英国人一直遵守“保持左派”的原则。你有没有想过为什么？这是有历史原因的：这一切都是为了让你的剑手自由!在中世纪，骑马旅行时你永远不知道会遇到谁。）可知，本文主要介绍了英国人靠左行驶的原因。故文章最好的标题为“为什么英国人要靠左开车？”。故选B项。
36．G 37．B 38．E 39．D 40．F

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个有助于面试的肢体语言。
36．根据空前“During an interview, your main job is to sell yourself as a confident and capable asset. But how can you do that? One thing you should do is think about your body language.( 在面试中，你的主要工作是把自己推销成一个自信而有能力的人。但你怎么能做到呢?你应该做的一件事是考虑你的肢体语言)”及下文每段的主题句可知，空处承上启下，引出下文有关面试时肢体语言的一些建议。G项“下面是一些在面试中使用肢体语言的方法”符合语境。故选G。
37．根据空前“Give a good handshake but not too good. We’ve all heard that a handshake should be firm because one that is too soft can make you appear weak or shy.(握手时要用力，但不要太用力。我们都听说过握手要有力，因为太软会让你显得软弱或害羞。)”及空后“You should avoid that.(你应该避免那些)”可知，空处应是在握手时需要避免的事情，承接上文，不要太用力的握手，因此推断B项“但是也有人握手握得太紧”符合语境。故选B。
38．根据段落主题“Watch your posture(姿势)and maintain eye contact.( 注意你的姿势，保持眼神交流)”可知，此处讲述有关坐姿和眼神的情况，空后“Nothing conveys disinterest and lack of confidence like a slouch (懒散的人).( 没有什么比无精打采更能传达出不感兴趣和缺乏自信的了)”可知，不要显得无精打采，要坐直。因此推断E项“有一点似乎是显而易见的, 但依然需要重复，那就是‘坐直’”符合语境，说明坐姿要避免显得无精打采。故选E。
39．空处为段落主题句。根据空后的内容, 尤其是“If you keep putting your hands on or near your face, it can send the message that you’re not comfortable with what you’re saying. When you’re not gesturing, put your hands in your lap. And don’t forget to smile—a smile not only conveys warmth, receptivity and positivity, it also helps reduce stress.( 如果你一直把手放在脸上或靠近脸，这可能会传递出你对自己所说的话感到不舒服的信息。当你不做手势的时候，把你的手放在膝盖上。别忘了微笑——微笑不仅传达了温暖、接受和积极，还有助于减轻压力)”可知, 此处讲述手的位置，以及保持微笑的重要性。因此推断D项“手离脸远点并保持微笑”为最佳标题。故选D。
40．根据空前“Active listening is a key part of any interview.(积极倾听是任何面试的关键部分) ”可知，积极倾听是重要的， F项“你的这种做法是在向面试官表明你的全部注意力都在他们身上”符合语境，说明积极倾听表明你得注意力集中在面试官身上，承上启下，so指代上文的Active listening。故选F。

41．A 42．C 43．D 44．B 45．C 46．A 47．B 48．D 49．C 50．A 51．D 52．B 53．A 54．C 55．D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了宇航员们在太空的工作生活。
56．考查指示代词。句意：人们很想知道太空中的日常生活是什么样子，以及它与地球上的生活有何不同。分析句意可知，空格处需要使用代词指代前文提到的daily life“日常生活”，在句中作介词宾语，指示代词that符合语法要求。故填that。
57．考查名词。句意：由于太空中几乎没有重力，宇航员通常睡在睡袋里，为了避免四处漂浮，他们必须把自己绑起来。分析句意可知，形容词absent“缺席的”在句中作介词due to“由于”的宾语，故需要改为名词形式absence。故填absence。
58．考查不定式。句意：由于太空中几乎没有重力，宇航员通常睡在睡袋里，为了避免四处漂浮，他们必须把自己绑起来。分析句意可知，动词avoid“避免”在句中作目的状语，因此需要改为不定式形式。故填to avoid。
59．考查现在分词。句意：他们在空间站内的主要任务是进行科学研究，由于空间站需要大量维护，他们不断检查支撑系统并进行一些清洁。分析句意可知，动词need“需要”在with+宾语+补语结构中，作宾语space station“空间站”的补足语，且二者构成主谓关系，故使用现在分词表示主动，故填needing。
60．考查副词。句意：他们在空间站内的主要任务是进行科学研究，由于空间站需要大量维护，他们不断检查支撑系统并进行一些清洁。分析句意可知，形容词constant“不断的”在句中作状语修饰动词check“检查”，因此需要使用副词形式。故填constantly。
61．考查连词。句意：空间站外最具挑战性的工作包括测试新设备、监测科学实验或修复空间站，因此太空行走是必要的。分析句意可知，本句包含两个并列句，即“And the most challenging work outside the space station includes testing new equipment, monitoring scientific experiments or repairing the space station (空间站外最具挑战性的工作包括测试新设备、监测科学实验或修复空间站)”和“spacewalking is necessary (太空行走是必要的)”，前句是后句的原因，二者构成因果关系，因此使用并列连词so“因此”连接，符合语境。故填so。
62．考查介词。句意：考虑到低重力环境，太空中的饮食也有所不同，大多数食物都是干燥或冷冻干燥的。分析句意可知，空格处需要填写介词表示“太空站所具有的食物是冷冻干燥的”，介词with能表示“有，具有，带有”符合语境。故填with。
63．考查形容词。句意：宇航员通过袋子里的塑料细管喝水，并通过服用药片确保营养均衡。分析句意可知，动词balance“使平衡”在句中作定语，修饰名词nutrients“营养”，因此需要使用形容词形式balanced“均衡的”。故填balanced。
64．考查被动语态。句意：锻炼对他们的健康至关重要，他们必须被捆在特殊的锻炼设备上，以防止自己漂浮。分析句意可知，动词tie“捆，系”在作情态动词用的词组have to“必须”后，因此需要使用原形，但因为其与主语they“他们”构成被动关系，故使用被动语态。故填be tied。
65．考查省略to的不定式。句意：在闲暇时间，他们喜欢和其他船员坐在一起，看着地球经过，为家人和朋友拍照。分析句意可知，动词go构成词组go by“经过”，且在感官动词watch的结构中，即watch sb. (to) do sth.表示“看到某人做某事的全过程”，因为地球自转，他们确实能看到全过程，故使用省略to的不定式形式符合语境。故填go。

67．One possible version:
I couldn’t believe it. No bassinet for the 17 books of stamps. I eyed the piles of Green Stamps I’d counted on. Maybe angels really do exist only on Christmas cards. Seeing our disappointment, the clerk said, “If you’re interested, we do have another option.” She opened the content. “It costs 20 books, but since the one you wanted isn’t available, I can give you the bassinet as a replacement.” I looked over the counter to see that she was pointing at the very bassinet we had originally chosen!
“That’s a lovely replacement with a canopy,” Grandmother said. She was excited for the bassinet we had been longing for and expressed gratitude for the clerk’s kind offer again and again. I got to know my grandmother’s words “If we do our part, the angels will do the rest.” If we were determined to do something, the real angel would lend us a hand. We arranged for the bassinet to be sent straight to Maria’s mother so it would be waiting when she and Tony arrived.
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，在作者小时候，家附近的苹果园雇佣了一些移民家庭工作，但是他们的报酬却很低。在一次谈话中，作者的祖母知道其中的Maria怀孕了，她和丈夫在这里工作室为了赚钱回家。祖母请求天使来帮助这对夫妻，并告诉作者“如果我们做好了自己的部分，天使会完成剩下的部分。”两人想通过积攒邮票兑换一个丝绸罩子的摇篮送给夫妻两人，虽然祖母和作者很努力，但在夫妻两人快要离开前，还差三本书的邮票。于是两人决定用现有的邮票挑一个买得起的摇篮，但是店员却告诉他们没有对应的摇篮。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我简直不敢相信。没有十七本邮票兑换的摇篮。”和第二段首句中的“替代品”可推知，第一段可描写作者对此非常失望的心理活动，但是店员提出可以用二十本邮票兑换的摇篮来替代十七本邮票兑换的摇篮。
②由第二段首句内容““这是一个可爱的摇篮替代品，”祖母说。”可推知，第二段可描写祖母感谢店员，作者领悟了祖母所说的话。
2. 续写线索：作者不敢相信——作者失望——店员提出替代品——祖母认可——祖母感谢店员——作者的领悟
