Can she be brave enough to stand up to the Snells and return the bear cub to the woods? Full of attractive pictures, this is a lovely story of a kindly girl and a lost bear.(当快乐时光动物园不诚实的主人斯内尔夫妇偷了一只熊宝宝时，波莉·佩科里诺来帮忙了。她是否有足够的勇气来对抗这些气味，并将熊宝宝送回森林？这是一个关于一个善良的女孩和一只迷路的熊的可爱故事，充满了迷人的图片)”可知，Polly Pecorino最适合关心动物的孩子。故选B。 B Bailey Martin’s running route starts on the gray gravel(沙砾)of her family’s driveway. She’ll run around the seven large bins and a garage on their farm. One full lap around is perfect for a runner like Martin. It’s exactly 400 meters. “If you can balance running at full speed on gravel, you can do that on the track too. I’ve definitely fallen a few times taking these corners a bit too sharp,” Martin said. It’s a small price to pay for Martin, who enjoys the familiarity of the route. Every little thing helps when you’re blind. At age 12, Martin was discovered to have acute macular neuroretinopathy, a rare disease without a known cure. About six months later, it cost Martin her vision. She was blind. Martin didn’t want to give up sports —she didn’t want to lose the most important part of her life. Her mother said, “She hit lots of trees. She hit every ditch(沟渠). It didn’t stop her. If she wants to do it, she’ll figure it out.” Martin’s story reached officials at OrCam, a technology company. The company developed a product called MyEye, which was created to help the visually impaired(受损的). The product sits on a user’s glasses and with a camera, takes pictures of text, faces or other things. It then reads back what it sees to the user through a small microphone near the ear. An OrCam official wanted to try it out on some users. The company was looking for visually impaired people with athletic backgrounds. Martin was suggested. OrCam told her to make a tape telling her story. The tape inspired company officials. Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing. The fact that she’s overcome as much as she has even surprises and inspires herself. “I look at my past self as more of an inspiration,” Martin said. “Sometimes, I look back and appreciate how I got through and became the person that I am.” 4. Why does Bailey Martin run on her family’s driveway? A. Her familiarity with it helps her practice running. B. Its speed on the gravel is perfect for her. C. Its sharp corners help her work out. D. Her family asks her to run on it. 5. What do we know about MyEye? A. It helps the blind to live independently. B. It is mainly for athletes with eye problems. C. It can record voice and video automatically. D. It is a pair of glasses with a camera fixed inside. 6. Which of the following can best describe Bailey Martin? A. Shy but smart. B. Proud and unfriendly. C. Reliable and generous. D. Unfortunate but determined. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a company that helps the disabled live better. B. To praise the hard work athletes do in their life. C. To analyze a strange and terrible eye disease. D. To tell an inspirational story of a teenager. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了失明的Bailey Martin通过在家里的车道上跑步保持运动，并且通过使用OrCam公司开发的MyEye产品来帮助她生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s a small price to pay for Martin, who enjoys the familiarity of the route. Every little thing helps when you’re blind.”(对于Martin来说，这是一个很小的代价。Martin喜欢这条路线的熟悉感。当你失明时，每一件小事都有帮助。)可知，Bailey Martin在家里的车道上跑步是因为她对这条路线的熟悉感有助于她练习跑步。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The product sits on a user’s glasses and with a camera, takes pictures of text, faces or other things. It then reads back what it sees to the user through a small microphone near the ear.”(该产品安装在用户的眼镜上，通过摄像头拍摄文字、面孔或其他物体的照片。然后通过耳朵附近的小麦克风将看到的内容读回给用户。)可知，MyEye帮助盲人独立生活。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Martin didn’t want to give up sports —she didn’t want to lose the most important part of her life.”(Martin不想放弃运动—她不想失去生活中最重要的部分。)以及倒数第二段的“Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing. The fact that she’s overcome as much as she has even surprises and inspires herself.”(Martin被驱使着继续前进，继续竞争。她克服了这么多困难，这一事实甚至让她自己感到惊讶和鼓舞。)可知，Bailey Martin虽然不幸失明，但她非常坚定。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段中的“Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing. The fact that she’s overcome as much as she has even surprises and inspires herself.”(Martin被驱使着继续前进，继续竞争。她克服了这么多困难，这一事实甚至让她自己感到惊讶和鼓舞。)可知，讲述了失明的Bailey Martin通过在家里的车道上跑步保持运动，并且通过使用OrCam公司开发的MyEye产品来帮助她生活的故事。所以本文的目的是讲述一个青少年的励志故事。故选D。 C The Great Barrier Reef is the result of millions of years of continental (大陆的) shifts, sea-level changes, and layers of coral (珊瑚) growth. The Reef was built over millennia (数千年) by coral attaching itself to existing dead coral, as it continued to reach toward the light. Like most living things, coral needs the sun to survive and generally lives in shallow waters, where enough sunlight can penetrate (穿透) the water. Sea levels began to rise at the end of the last most recent ice age, about 14,000 years ago. As a result, the previously exposed Reef was covered by water and the coral expanded along the length of the newly revived Reef. Climate change is having a dangerous impact on this natural wonder. Although coral and algae (海藻) have evolved despite climate change, allowing them to survive, coral has begun producing products that are poisonous to the Reef and block the growth of algae. Additional concerns include the overwhelming amount of pollution and chemical runoff into the water which harms the already affected coral and reduces biodiversity. The Great Barrier Reef is well known as one of the best diving destinations in the world. You can do your part to help scientists preserve the Reef’s ecosystem while visiting. By paying a visit to the Reef, visitors pay a reef tax that will be used for the management and conservation of the Reef. A lesser-known contribution visitors can make to Reef preservation is signing up for REEFSearch. After signing up, you’ll be sent a field guide that will teach you how to collect information that scientists can use to study the Reef’ s health. During each dive, using the information sent to you, you will look for key species, check for coral conditions, and make note of any garbage found near the Reef. These small contributions can ultimately have a large impact and save one of the great wonders of the world. 8. Why does coral live in shallow waters? A. It must coexist with algae. B. It needs sufficient sunlight. C. It has to stick to dead ancestors. D. It has to avoid deep-sea pollution. 9. What drove the coral to stretch across the new Reef? A. The rise of sea levels. B. The exposure of it to air. C. The change of its habitat. D. The threat from its enemies. 10. What is an impact climate change has on the Reef? A. Coral cannot survive. B. Algae become harmful. C. Algae cannot be seen on the surface. D. Coral produces something poisonous to the Reef. 11. Which of the following should you do after signing up for REEFSearch? A. Study the Reef’ s formation. B. Find new habitats for coral. C. Gather information on the Reef’ s health. D. Search for dangerous species around coral. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大堡礁的形成、生态环境以及相关的旅行贴士。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Like most living things, coral needs the sun to survive and generally lives in shallow waters, where enough sunlight can penetrate (穿透) the water.”（像大多数生物一样，珊瑚需要阳光才能生存，通常生活在浅水区，那里有足够的阳光可以穿透水。）可知，珊瑚生活在浅水区是因为它需要充足的阳光。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sea levels began to rise at the end of the last most recent ice age, about 14,000 years ago. As a result, the previously exposed Reef was covered by water and the coral expanded along the length of the newly revived Reef.”（海平面在最近一次冰河期结束时开始上升，大约14000年前。结果，先前暴露的珊瑚礁被水覆盖，珊瑚沿着新恢复的珊瑚礁的长度扩展。）可知，在冰河时期末，海平面升高，原先暴露在外面的大堡礁被海水覆盖，珊瑚就沿着新生的礁体一直生长。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although coral and algae (海藻) have evolved despite climate change, allowing them to survive, coral has begun producing products that are poisonous to the Reef and block the growth of algae.”（尽管珊瑚和藻类在气候变化的情况下进化，使它们能够生存，但珊瑚已经开始产生对珊瑚礁有毒的产物，并阻止藻类的生长。）可知，受气候变化影响，珊瑚会产生一种对礁体有害的物质，从而破坏整个大堡礁的生态环境。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“During each dive, using the information sent to you, you will look for key species, check for coral conditions, and make note of any garbage found near the Reef.”（在每次潜水期间，使用发送给您的信息，您将寻找关键物种，检查珊瑚状况，并记下在珊瑚礁附近发现的任何垃圾。）可知，报名参加REEFSearch后，潜水者可以帮忙收集一些与大堡礁生态健康有关的信息。故选C项。 D Madagascar, the world’s second-largest island country located off Africa’s eastern coast, is an island of diverse ecosystems and a biodiversity hotspot. The country has unique wildlife, with 90% of its plants and animals found nowhere else. Madagascar’s wildlife creates some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and popular spots. One of its conspicuous landscapes, attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth, is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region. This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon’i Tsiribihina and Morondava, creating a unique and beautiful setting. Baobab trees are common throughout Madagascar. Of the Earth’s eight species, six are native to the country. Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2, 800 years old, with trunks rising to 150 feet. The avenue is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 meters. Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures (牧草地). This road is one of Madagascar’s most visited places. It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa’s oldest baobabs. These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants. However, massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees, leaving the baobabs to grow alone. The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires. Despite being a popular tourist attraction, the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor center and generates little money for local communities. Thankfully, non-governmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument (国家保护区), the first in Madagascar. The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years. 12. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in the first paragraph mean? A. New. B. Cultural. C. Striking. D. Changing. 13. What do we know about the Avenue of the Baobabs? A. It is a big forest. B. It has eight baobab species. C. It consists of many different plants. D. It has Africa’s oldest baobabs. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The risk to local baobab trees. B. Natural disasters in Madagascar. C. Poor living conditions in Madagascar. D. The quality customer service of the avenue. 15. What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph? A. Curiosity. B. Caution. C. Hopefulness. D. Sympathy. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。马达加斯加是世界第二大岛国，这里的猴面包树大道是最引人注目的景观之一，吸引着来自世界各地的游客。文章主要介绍了猴面包树在这里很常见的原因，猴面包树面临的风险以及人们为保护猴面包树所采取的措施。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth,(吸引着来自世界各地的游客)”可知，猴面包树大道吸引着来自世界各地的游客，这说明这里的景色很引人注目。由此推知，划线单词conspicuous意为“引人注目的”，与C项“Striking.(引人注目的)”意思一样，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa’s oldest baobabs. (这里也是最容易看到非洲最古老猴面包树的地方)”可知，猴面包树大道有非洲最古老的猴面包树。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires.(公路沿线的猴面包树和附近地区生长的其他猴面包树一直受到不断增长的种群的威胁。这些树木还面临着来自附近田地、森林大火和森林大火的污水威胁)”可知，第三段主要介绍了当地猴面包树面临的风险。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thankfully, non-governmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument (国家保护区), the first in Madagascar. The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years.(值得庆幸的是，与政府合作的非政府组织注意到了这一地区，并开展了保护该大道的活动。环境、生态和森林部在2007年7月宣布它为临时保护区。2015年7月，该遗址被宣布为国家纪念区，这是马达加斯加的第一个遗址。政府和当地社区希望这些树能再活800年)”可知，猴面包树正在得到保护。由此推知，作者在最后一段表达出了希望感。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sports can help contribute to a healthy body and get you close to nature.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday. Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了让父亲开心，于是和朋友一起把父亲的旧船修好，让父亲可以和朋友出海，父亲也非常感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈同意后，我说服我的朋友们加入我的秘密计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友修理船的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了那天，我们都迫不及待地想给他一个惊喜”可知，第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜的反应。 2.续写线索：开始修理船——完成修复工作——给父亲惊喜——父亲感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②修理：repair/fix up ③完成：complete/finish 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/glad ②值得的：rewarding/worthy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration.

Can she be brave enough to stand up to the Snells and return the bear cub to the woods? Full of attractive pictures, this is a lovely story of a kindly girl and a lost bear.

She’ll run around the seven large bins and a garage on their farm. One full lap around is perfect for a runner like Martin. It’s exactly 400 meters. “If you can balance running at full speed on gravel, you can do that on the track too. I’ve definitely fallen a few times taking these corners a bit too sharp,” Martin said. It’s a small price to pay for Martin, who enjoys the familiarity of the route. Every little thing helps when you’re blind. At age 12, Martin was discovered to have acute macular neuroretinopathy, a rare disease without a known cure. About six months later, it cost Martin her vision. She was blind. Martin didn’t want to give up sports —she didn’t want to lose the most important part of her life. Her mother said, “She hit lots of trees. She hit every ditch(沟渠). It didn’t stop her. If she wants to do it, she’ll figure it out.” Martin’s story reached officials at OrCam, a technology company. The company developed a product called MyEye, which was created to help the visually impaired(受损的). The product sits on a user’s glasses and with a camera, takes pictures of text, faces or other things. It then reads back what it sees to the user through a small microphone near the ear. An OrCam official wanted to try it out on some users. The company was looking for visually impaired people with athletic backgrounds. Martin was suggested. OrCam told her to make a tape telling her story. The tape inspired company officials. Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing The fact that she’s overcome as much as she has even surprises and inspires herself. “I look at my past self as more of an inspiration,” Martin said. “Sometimes, I look back and appreciate how I got through and became the person that I am.” 4 Why does Bailey Martin run on her family’s driveway? A. Her familiarity with it helps her practice running. B. Its speed on the gravel is perfect for her. C. Its sharp corners help her work out. D. Her family asks her to run on it. 5. What do we know about MyEye? A. It helps the blind to live independently. B. It is mainly for athletes with eye problems. C. It can record voice and video automatically. D. It is a pair of glasses with a camera fixed inside. 6. Which of the following can best describe Bailey Martin? A. Shy but smart. B. Proud and unfriendly. C. Reliable and generous. D. Unfortunate but determined. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a company that helps the disabled live better. B. To praise the hard work athletes do in their life. C. To analyze a strange and terrible eye disease. D. To tell an inspirational story of a teenager. C The Great Barrier Reef is the result of millions of years of continental (大陆的) shifts, sea-level changes, and layers of coral (珊瑚) growth. The Reef was built over millennia (数千年) by coral attaching itself to existing dead coral, as it continued to reach toward the light. Like most living things, coral needs the sun to survive and generally lives in shallow waters, where enough sunlight can penetrate (穿透) the water. Sea levels began to rise at the end of the last most recent ice age, about 14,000 years ago. As a result, the previously exposed Reef was covered by water and the coral expanded along the length of the newly revived Reef. Climate change is having a dangerous impact on this natural wonder. Although coral and algae (海藻) have evolved despite climate change, allowing them to survive, coral has begun producing products that are poisonous to the Reef and block the growth of algae. Additional concerns include the overwhelming amount of pollution and chemical runoff into the water which harms the already affected coral and reduces biodiversity. The Great Barrier Reef is well known as one of the best diving destinations in the world. You can do your part to help scientists preserve the Reef’s ecosystem while visiting. By paying a visit to the Reef, visitors pay a reef tax that will be used for the management and conservation of the Reef. A lesser-known contribution visitors can make to Reef preservation is signing up for REEFSearch. After signing up, you’ll be sent a field guide that will teach you how to collect information that scientists can use to study the Reef’ s health. During each dive, using the information sent to you, you will look for key species, check for coral conditions, and make note of any garbage found near the Reef. These small contributions can ultimately have a large impact and save one of the great wonders of the world. 8. Why does coral live in shallow waters? A. It must coexist with algae. B. It needs sufficient sunlight. C. It has to stick to dead ancestors. D. It has to avoid deep-sea pollution. 9. What drove the coral to stretch across the new Reef? A. The rise of sea levels. B. The exposure of it to air. C. The change of its habitat. D. The threat from its enemies. 10. What is an impact climate change has on the Reef? A. Coral cannot survive. B. Algae become harmful. C. Algae cannot be seen on the surface. D. Coral produces something poisonous to the Reef. 11. Which of the following should you do after signing up for REEFSearch? A. Study the Reef’ s formation. B. Find new habitats for coral. C. Gather information on the Reef’ s health. D. Search for dangerous species around coral. D Madagascar, the world’s second-largest island country located off Africa’s eastern coast, is an island of diverse ecosystems and a biodiversity hotspot. The country has unique wildlife, with 90% of its plants and animals found nowhere else. Madagascar’s wildlife creates some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and popular spots. One of its conspicuous landscapes, attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth, is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region. This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon’i Tsiribihina and Morondava, creating a unique and beautiful setting. Baobab trees are common throughout Madagascar. Of the Earth’s eight species, six are native to the country. Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2, 800 years old, with trunks rising to 150 feet. The avenue is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 meters. Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures (牧草地). This road is one of Madagascar’s most visited places. It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa’s oldest baobabs. These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants. However, massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees, leaving the baobabs to grow alone. The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires. Despite being a popular tourist attraction, the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor center and generates little money for local communities. Thankfully, non-governmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument (国家保护区), the first in Madagascar. The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years. 12. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in the first paragraph mean? A. New. B. Cultural. C. Striking. D. Changing. 13. What do we know about the Avenue of the Baobabs? A. It is a big forest. B. It has eight baobab species. C. It consists of many different plants. D. It has Africa’s oldest baobabs. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The risk to local baobab trees. B. Natural disasters in Madagascar. C. Poor living conditions in Madagascar. D. The quality customer service of the avenue. 15. What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph? A. Curiosity. B. Caution. C. Hopefulness. D. Sympathy. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sports can help contribute to a healthy body and get you close to nature.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After Mama agreed I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
