The complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, was opened at night for the first time since it was reopened as the Palace Museum 94 years ago. The complex and palace walls were illuminated with red lanterns and a light show, designed to recreate the feelings of the royal court, while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured scroll called A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains was cast onto the palace roof. Most of China’s 1.3 billion people, however, had to watch the show on television. Only 3,000 people were allowed in: 2,500 invited guests and 500 people who booked their tickets online. “The 3,000 visitors can show off for the whole year,” one person said on Weibo. When booking for the second day opened at midnight, the booking system crashed for more than an hour due to great demand. The free tickets were quickly taken when it reopened. A lively secondary market soon appeared. Scalpers were selling tickets for as much as 9,999 yuan on online trading sites. The Palace Museum is now on a campaign to attract more visitors, with its former curator Shan Jixiang saying he wants to make traditional Chinese culture more accessible to the general public. More than 80 percent of the palace is now accessible to visitors, up from 30 percent in 2012. Shan has set a target of 85 percent by 2020 to mark the palace’s 600th anniversary . Creativity today has made the Palace Museum younger and drawn traditional culture closer to the public. 24. What does the underlined word “illuminate”probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Cared for. B. Lit up. C. Picked out. D. Kept safe. 25. How do most Chinese admire the night view of the Forbidden City ? A. By watching TV at home . B. By grabbing free tickets online C. By buying tickets from the secondary market. D. By receiving invitation from the Forbidden City. 26. What will happen in 2020 according to Shan Jixiang? A. The campaign between museums will be better. B. Creativity will make the Palace Museum younger. C. Traditional Chinese culture will be recreated by foreigners. D. About 85 percent of the palace will be accessible to visitors. 27. What can be a suitable title of the text ? A. A Brief Introduction of the Forbidden City B. Difficulties in Getting Tickets to the Forbidden City C. Performances During the Light Show in the Forbidden City D. Forbidden City’s First Opening to General Public at Night 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了故宫于94年前重新开放以来，第一次在夜间向普通民众开放。并且结合了美丽的灯饰和灯光表演，意向游客展示故宫的皇家感觉。遗憾的是，当晚只有3000名幸运游客可以亲身游览夜间美丽的故宫。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。由后面的with red lanterns and a light show, designed to recreate the feelings of the royal court可知宫殿和宫墙被无数的红灯笼和一场旨在于重现皇家感觉的灯光秀所照亮。Illuminated“点亮，照亮”与light up同义。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Most of China’s 1.3 billion people, however, had to watch the show on television. Only 3,000 people were allowed in一句可知除了3000名幸运游客外，中国13亿人口中的大部分将在电视上观看。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段More than 80 percent of the palace is now accessible to visitors, up from 30 percent in 2012.

They irrigate our farms, are an important means of transport and a source of eco-friendly power. They can be a whole lot of fun for travelers, too. From strikingly strange and unusual wildlife centers to whitewater rafting hotspots and the most scenic stretches for cruising, we’ve highlighted 3 rivers worth basing your next trip around. Rankings are made on five travel criteria. Scenic beauty — the physical beauty of the river; waterfalls, color, drama of the landscape. Nature and wildlife — diversity and popularity of flora and fauna. Culture — depth, diversity and accessibility of local culture; tribal/medieval villages etc. Adventure — thrill factor of the river’s topography and location. Activity options — rafting, wildlife watching, hiking, biking etc. We’ve debated among ourselves, researched expert views and polled our colleagues and fellow travelers around the world, to score each river for these qualities. 3. Rio Cahabon (Guatemala) Scenic beauty: 4 | Nature and wildlife: 3 | Culture: 2 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5 Never heard of it? Few had, until a few years back, when a section of the Rio Cahabon’s densely forested pathway through central Guatemala was built as a key stop on the Central American backpacker trail. Known as Semuc Champey, the series of spectacular steeped limestone pools bridging over the river are accessed via a hiking trail near the village of Lanquin. Local hostels also offer candlelight tours of a cave system carved out by the water and year-round grade Ⅲ and IV rafting. 2. Zambezi (Africa) Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 4 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 4 Boasting superb wildlife watching, some of the best white-water rafting on the planet and the thundering beauty of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi is a showstopper. In the Middle Zambezi, which borders Zambia and Zimbabwe, you can bungee jump off Africa’s largest waterfall, or tackle the grade IV rapids just below. Most wildlife — from hippo pods to big cats and sly Nile crocodiles — is spotted on jeep safaris and kayaking trips around the Lower Zambezi, where the swampy delta funnels down through Mozambique into the Indian Ocean. 1. Amazon River (South America) Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 5 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5 Topping our list by an aquatic mile, the mighty Amazon snakes through the jungles of nine South American nations, providing a shelter for more than 400 native Indian tribes and one in ten of the known species on earth. For travelers, the possibilities are huge — from wildlife spotting safaris to kayaking trips and gnarly jungle treks. Backpacker-friendly Bolivia is a popular place to explore the pampas by lancha (long-tail boat), stopping off along Amazon tributaries to swim with pink dolphins, fish for piranha and track elusive anaconda. 28. The 3 rivers mentioned in the passage are ranked according to . A. their cultural diversity and popularity B. the CNN journalists’ descriptions C. 5 travel criteria D. experts’ views 29. Rio Cahabon is still less known to the world because . A. a pathway was not built until a few years ago B. it runs through deep forests C. it was discovered only a few years ago D. few but backpackers dare to travel there 30. Tourists can experience bungee jump when travelling on . A. Zambezi B. Rio Cahabon C. Amazon River D. all of the three 31. The underlined phrase “flora and fauna” most probably refers to . A. flowers and fruits B. custom and tradition C. culture and nature D. animals and plants 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要根据五条旅游标准，介绍了世界上前3名著名的河流。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“Rankings are made on five travel criteria. (根据五个旅行标准进行排名)”可知，3条河流的排名是依据五条旅行标准而定的。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由3. Rio Cahabon (Guatemala)中第二段“Never heard of it? Few had, until a few years back, when a section of the Rio Cahabon’s densely forested pathway through central Guatemala was built as a key stop on the Central American backpacker trail. (从没听说过？直到几年前，当时穿过危地马拉中部的Rio Cahabon茂密的森林小路的一段被建造成中美洲背包客步道的关键一站，才为人所知)”可知，Rio Cahabon仍然不出名是因为直到最近几年路才修建好。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。由2. Zambezi (Africa)中第三段“In the Middle Zambezi, which borders Zambia and Zimbabwe, you can bungee jump off Africa’s largest waterfall, or tackle the grade IV rapids just below. (在与赞比亚和津巴布韦接壤的赞比西中部，你可以从非洲最大的瀑布上蹦极，也可以在下面的四级急流中冲浪)”可知，在Zambezi，游客可以体验蹦极。故选A项。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。由第四段中“Nature and wildlife — diversity and popularity of flora and fauna. (自然和野生动物——flora and fauna的多样性和受欢迎程度)”可知，flora and fauna为“动植物”之意。故选D项。 D When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music. The behavior is normal however, because these crowds are truly wild— wild monkeys to be exact. Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi, an area known for its populations of wild macaque monkeys. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the coronavirus crisis. The disease has caused problems for the monkeys, too. They are hungry. The restrictions on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them. “We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident. Barton has played at four sites in Lopburi, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a store and an old movie theater. The macaques quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Für Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love. Some of the creatures sit on his chair, while others climb up his body and touch his head. “A wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves,” said Barton, from Yorkshire in northern England. But, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument. Other monkeys take control of his music papers. “I was surprised to play the piano and find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it.” But, he added, “I wasn’t going to let those things distract from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful macaques.” The monkeys are Barton’s latest animal fans. Past wildlife audiences included elephants living in special protected areas. Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger. At the same time, he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music. 32. Why does Paul Barton play to the wild macaque monkeys in Thailand? A. To cure their disease. B. To make friends with them. C. To attract more tourists to watch them. D. To draw people’s attention to their hunger. 33. Which is the macaque monkeys’ reaction to Paul Barton’s performance? A. Listening carefully to his perfect performance. B. Becoming more aggressive when he plays classical music. C. Trying to stop him by taking away his music paper. D. Surrounding him and reacting wildly. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Wild animals are difficult to deal with. B. Macaque monkeys are also infected with coronavirus. C. Barton keeps on playing however the monkeys react. D. Elephants living in special protected areas will be Barton’s next listeners. 35. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Musician plays for Monkeys in Thailand B. The Power of Music C. Classical Music Prevents Monkeys from Hunger D. The Recovery of Wild Monkeys 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了因疫情导致旅游限制下的泰国猴子缺乏食物而狂躁不安，音乐家保罗•巴顿为猴子们演奏，希望引起民众对猴子饥饿问题的关注。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“‘We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,’ said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident.(‘我们需要努力确保它们吃得好。当它们吃得好时，就会变得更平静，不会有攻击性。’59岁的长期居住在泰国的巴顿说)”，以及最后一段“Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger. At the same time, he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music(巴顿希望提高人们对猴子饥饿的认识。与此同时，他希望研究它们对古典音乐的反应)”可知巴顿给猴子弹钢琴，希望引起大家对猴子饥饿问题的关注。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, his energetic listeners react wildly.(最近，当英国音乐家保罗•巴顿在泰国中部演出时，他充满活力的听众反应热烈)”，以及第六段“The macaques quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Für Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love. (当巴顿演奏贝多芬的《绿袖子》和迈克尔·尼曼的《爱的日记》时，猕猴们迅速将他包围)”可知，猴子们包围着他，表现很失控。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument. Other monkeys take control of his music papers.(但是，巴顿的注意力一直集中在他的演奏上，即使是当一只小猴子在钢琴上从他的手上跑过时。其他猴子控制了他的乐谱)”可知，无论猴子做什么，他都继续弹奏钢琴。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music. The behavior is normal, however, because these crowds are truly barbaric-monkeys to be exact.(英国音乐家保罗•巴顿最近在泰国中部演出时，精力充沛的听众反应激烈。有的扯他的头发，有的跳他的钢琴。其他人偷走了他的乐谱。然而，这种行为是正常的，因为这些人群是真正野蛮的猴子)”可知，这是新闻类的文章，向大家讲述了一件新鲜事---在泰国，一位音乐家为猴子们演奏。故选A项。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exercising Safely Exercise is a key part of staying healthy, but figuring out how to exercise safely can be tough. ____36____. ____37____.

Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Green, followed by an ordinary-looking boy. “This boy’s name is Mark,” Ms. Green announced. “He comes from another school, and he’s going to be in our class from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly. ” The class clapped. But I didn’t want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities, considering his small figure and casual T-shirt. “Oh, I forgot to mention one thing,” Ms. Green spoke up. “Mark actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Mark insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write your words on a piece of paper.” This single speech sent the whole class into noises. Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity. Ms. Green calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?” “How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else. would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom. It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Green’s. “How about you, James?” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Mark just for today?” It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed (叹气) and nodded slightly. Ms. Green gestured for Mark to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Immediately, the class became excited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Mark rose from his chair and walked onto the platform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Immediately, the class became excited. Some could hardly wait to tell their classmates about their holiday trips, eyes shining and faces glowing with joy. Those who hadn’t been anywhere bombarded them with inquiries. Enormous joy welled up in every corner of the classroom. Obviously confused about the sudden noisy situation, Mark turned to me for explanations in written words. Surprisingly, my explanation put a smile on his face. “Any volunteer to share your story?” asked Ms. Green, whose words I set down on paper for Mark. Then Mark rose from his chair and walked onto the platform. Greeting us with a confident smile, Mark shared his story in a magnetic voice, which left me stunned. I felt more ashamed to learn that he ran a website to help children with hearing problems than guilty about stupidly thinking disabled people couldn’t be intelligent. Then his voice was drowned out by a thunderous outburst of applause. Having a lump in my throat, I clapped my hands even more loudly, determined never to judge a book by its cover. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了文章主要讲述了James开学第一天的遭遇：老师介绍新来的转校生Mark，他长相普通而且听力有问题，由于助听器坏掉无法与同学们正常交流，老师希望能有同学帮助他，而James成为老师的人选并安排这位新同学坐在James旁边。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“全班立刻变得兴奋起来”可知，第一段可描写全班同学分享假期故事。要详细描述同学们在讲述假期故事时的神态表情和动作。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后马克从椅子上站起来，走上讲台”可知，第二段可描写Mark走上讲台后分享的故事，且故事主题应是Mark并没有因为自己听力问题而自卑，反而因此做了更有意义的事情。 2.续写线索：兴奋——别人分享——Mark分享故事——对Mark故事的感受——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 站起：rise from/stand up 写下：set down /write down 经营：run/ manage 情绪类 激动：excited /thrilled 快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Those who hadn’t been anywhere bombarded them with inquiries.

B China’ Forbidden City----traditionally off-limit at night for anyone except emperors and visiting dignitaries (显要人物）---- was decorated with lanterns as China celebrated the end of the Chinese New Year holiday. The complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, was opened at night for the first time since it was reopened as the Palace Museum 94 years ago. The complex and palace walls were illuminated with red lanterns and a light show, designed to recreate the feelings of the royal court, while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured scroll called A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains was cast onto the palace roof. Most of China’s 1.3 billion people, however, had to watch the show on television. Only 3,000 people were allowed in: 2,500 invited guests and 500 people who booked their tickets online. “The 3,000 visitors can show off for the whole year,” one person said on Weibo. When booking for the second day opened at midnight, the booking system crashed for more than an hour due to great demand. The free tickets were quickly taken when it reopened. A lively secondary market soon appeared. Scalpers were selling tickets for as much as 9,999 yuan on online trading sites. The Palace Museum is now on a campaign to attract more visitors, with its former curator Shan Jixiang saying he wants to make traditional Chinese culture more accessible to the general public. More than 80 percent of the palace is now accessible to visitors, up from 30 percent in 2012. Shan has set a target of 85 percent by 2020 to mark the palace’s 600th anniversary . Creativity today has made the Palace Museum younger and drawn traditional culture closer to the public. 24. What does the underlined word “illuminate”probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Cared for. B. Lit up. C. Picked out. D. Kept safe. 25. How do most Chinese admire the night view of the Forbidden City ? A. By watching TV at home . B. By grabbing free tickets online C. By buying tickets from the secondary market. D. By receiving invitation from the Forbidden City. 26. What will happen in 2020 according to Shan Jixiang? A. The campaign between museums will be better. B Creativity will make the Palace Museum younger. C. Traditional Chinese culture will be recreated by foreigners. D. About 85 percent of the palace will be accessible to visitors. 27. What can be a suitable title of the text ? A. A Brief Introduction of the Forbidden City B. Difficulties in Getting Tickets to the Forbidden City C. Performances During the Light Show in the Forbidden City D. Forbidden City’s First Opening to General Public at Night C (CNN) — Rivers are the life-giving blood vessels of our planet. They irrigate our farms, are an important means of transport and a source of eco-friendly power. They can be a whole lot of fun for travelers, too.

Nature and wildlife — diversity and popularity of flora and fauna. Culture — depth, diversity and accessibility of local culture; tribal/medieval villages etc. Adventure — thrill factor of the river’s topography and location. Activity options — rafting, wildlife watching, hiking, biking etc. We’ve debated among ourselves, researched expert views and polled our colleagues and fellow travelers around the world, to score each river for these qualities. 3. Rio Cahabon (Guatemala) Scenic beauty: 4 | Nature and wildlife: 3 | Culture: 2 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5 Never heard of it? Few had, until a few years back, when a section of the Rio Cahabon’s densely forested pathway through central Guatemala was built as a key stop on the Central American backpacker trail. Known as Semuc Champey, the series of spectacular steeped limestone pools bridging over the river are accessed via a hiking trail near the village of Lanquin. Local hostels also offer candlelight tours of a cave system carved out by the water and year-round grade Ⅲ and IV rafting. 2. Zambezi (Africa) Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 4 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 4 Boasting superb wildlife watching, some of the best white-water rafting on the planet and the thundering beauty of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi is a showstopper. In the Middle Zambezi, which borders Zambia and Zimbabwe, you can bungee jump off Africa’s largest waterfall, or tackle the grade IV rapids just below. Most wildlife — from hippo pods to big cats and sly Nile crocodiles — is spotted on jeep safaris and kayaking trips around the Lower Zambezi, where the swampy delta funnels down through Mozambique into the Indian Ocean. 1. Amazon River (South America) Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 5 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5 Topping our list by an aquatic mile, the mighty Amazon snakes through the jungles of nine South American nations, providing a shelter for more than 400 native Indian tribes and one in ten of the known species on earth. For travelers, the possibilities are huge — from wildlife spotting safaris to kayaking trips and gnarly jungle treks. Backpacker-friendly Bolivia is a popular place to explore the pampas by lancha (long-tail boat), stopping off along Amazon tributaries to swim with pink dolphins, fish for piranha and track elusive anaconda. 28.

A flowers and fruits B. custom and tradition C. culture and nature D. animals and plants D When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music. The behavior is normal, however, because these crowds are truly wild— wild monkeys to be exact. Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi, an area known for its populations of wild macaque monkeys. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the coronavirus crisis. The disease has caused problems for the monkeys, too. They are hungry. The restrictions on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them. “We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident. Barton has played at four sites in Lopburi, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a store and an old movie theater. The macaques quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Für Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love. Some of the creatures sit on his chair, while others climb up his body and touch his head. “A wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves,” said Barton, from Yorkshire in northern England. But, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument. Other monkeys take control of his music papers. “I was surprised to play the piano and find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it.” But, he added, “I wasn’t going to let those things distract from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful macaques.” The monkeys are Barton’s latest animal fans. Past wildlife audiences included elephants living in special protected areas. Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger. At the same time, he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music. 32. Why does Paul Barton play to the wild macaque monkeys in Thailand? A. To cure their disease. B. To make friends with them. C. To attract more tourists to watch them. D. To draw people’s attention to their hunger. 33. Which is the macaque monkeys’ reaction to Paul Barton’s performance? A. Listening carefully to his perfect performance. B. Becoming more aggressive when he plays classical music. C. Trying to stop him by taking away his music paper. D. Surrounding him and reacting wildly. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Wild animals are difficult to deal with. B. Macaque monkeys are also infected with coronavirus. C. Barton keeps on playing however the monkeys react. D. Elephants living in special protected areas will be Barton’s next listeners. 35. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Musician plays for Monkeys in Thailand B. The Power of Music C. Classical Music Prevents Monkeys from Hunger D. The Recovery of Wild Monkeys 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exercising Safely Exercise is a key part of staying healthy, but figuring out how to exercise safely can be tough. ____36____. ____37____.

Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Green, followed by an ordinary-looking boy. “This boy’s name is Mark,” Ms. Green announced. “He comes from another school, and he’s going to be in our class from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly. ” The class clapped. But I didn’t want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities, considering his small figure and casual T-shirt. “Oh, I forgot to mention one thing,” Ms. Green spoke up. “Mark actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Mark insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write your words on a piece of paper.” This single speech sent the whole class into noises. Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity. Ms. Green calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?” “How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else. would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom. It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms Green’s. “How about you, James?” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Mark just for today?” It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed (叹气) and nodded slightly. Ms. Green gestured for Mark to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Immediately, the class became excited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Mark rose from his chair and walked onto the platform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
