2022-2023年高一第二学期秀全中学期末英语测试 一、阅读理解 (共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Last month, I moved abroad for two years to study, taking just a single suitcase with me. I couldn’t afford to keep my former flat, so when it came to my possessions (物品) , extreme measures were called for. Some of my stuff, like books, I could give them away.

Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city. My “share-cycling” plan ties me back to them. A friend took my tent to a music festival. And my favourite picture ended up on the wall of my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz: the thought of all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder of our ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” on my city life rather than “stop”, making the move easier. 1. What made the author
