“You have to tell us where you are going and you lied,” my sons’ father said to him after telling him he wouldn’t be able to hang out with his friends for two weeks.
My youngest knows the rules: You have to tell us where you will be at all times, and if the plans change, you have to ask before you participate. I’ve drilled this into his head over and over because I’m that anxious mom, the one that worries, the one who is afraid her kids are going to get into a bad situation if she doesn’t repeatedly remind them to make the right choice and follow the rules.
Parents can constantly tell their kids to follow the rules, act politely and do things the “right” way. We can teach them the lessons and hope they follow our advice. But the truth is, even though your child can hear your voice in their ear while they are getting ready to stick their big toe into something that they know would make your bead spin, it might not be enough to stop the them.
There are times when they need to experience feeling scared, uneasy or guilty in order to learn and keep them from repeating the same mistake over and over again. It’s one of the scariest realizations I’ve had as a parent, but after living with three teens for a few years it’s my truth—and it’s the truth of every other parent of a teenager.
Looking back upon my young life, I know nothing really sank in unless I experienced it for myself, like when I stopped eating chocolate late at night and found I was finally able to sleep at night. It took me long to stop damaging my own sleep even though not eating the chocolate was the simple solution. And I am not a stubborn then.
I’ve realized the importance of stepping back ( just a bit ), and letting my teens navigate (寻找) their own way. It’s made all the difference.
4. What does the author expect her son to do?
A. Stop being so anxious. B. Follow the family rules.
C. Learn to tell right from wrong. D. Communicate more with parents.
5. What’s the author’s scariest realization?

A. became fully understood B. played an important role
C. sounded possible D. made progress
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Let go of your children B. Give your kids more love
C. Step back when necessary D. Learn important life lessons
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的经历认识到孩子们应该通过犯错误来学习道理,呼吁家长不要用家规束缚孩子,让孩子寻找自己的路,在犯错误中学习道理,学会自己成长。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“My youngest knows the rules: You have to tell us where you will be at all times, and if the plans change, you have to ask before you participate. I’ve drilled this into his head over and over because I’m that anxious mom, the one that worries, the one who is afraid her kids are going to get into a bad situation if she doesn’t repeatedly remind them to make the right choice and follow the rules.”(我最小的孩子知道规则:你必须随时告诉我们你将在哪里,如果计划发生变化,你必须在参与之前询问我们的意见。我一次又一次地在他的脑子里灌输这一点,因为我是一个焦虑的母亲,一个担心的母亲,一个如果不反复提醒她的孩子做出正确的选择并遵守规则,就担心她的孩子会陷入糟糕境地的母亲。)可知,作者一次又一次地和孩子强调家庭规则,例如必须随时告诉父母你将在哪里,因为她担心孩子会陷入糟糕的境地,遇到危险,由此可知,作者希望她的儿子遵守家庭规则。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“There are times when they need to experience feeling scared, uneasy or guilty in order to learn and keep them from repeating the same mistake over and over again. It’s one of the scariest realizations I’ve had as a parent, but after living with three teens for a few years it’s my truth—and it’s the truth of every other parent of a teenager.”(有时,他们需要经历恐惧、不安或内疚,以便学习并避免重复同样的错误。这是我作为父母所经历的最可怕的认识之一,但在与三个十几岁的孩子生活了几年之后,这是我的真理,也是每一个十几岁孩子的父母的真理。)可知,作者得出的一个最可怕的认识之一是,孩子们需要经历恐惧、不安或内疚,才能学会避免犯同样的错误,换句话说,孩子们需要从自己犯的错误中学会道理,由此可知,作者最可怕的认识是孩子们应该通过犯错误来学习。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段关键句“There are times when they need to experience feeling scared, uneasy or guilty in order to learn and keep them from repeating the same mistake over and over again.”(有时,他们需要经历恐惧、不安或内疚,以便学习并避免重复同样的错误。)可知,上文提到,作者认为孩子们应该通过亲自犯错误来学习道理,再结合画线短语后句“unless I experienced it for myself”(除非我亲身经历过)可知,画线短语所在句指“除非我亲身经历过,否则我不会真正理解任何事,不会真正理解任何道理”,“became fully understood”意为“完全理解”,能够代替画线短语在句中表达的意思。故选A项。
【7题详解】

The Big Dipper’s stars (北斗星) are a celestial landmark. Visible in the Northern Hemisphere’s night sky, the stars draw out a shape like a scoop with a handle. Beginner stargazers can easily pick it out. Now, scientists have been intrigued by three factors that can explain why certain groups of stars form such recognizable patterns. One is how bright the stars are. Another is how far apart they are. And the third has to do with how human eyes move.
The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major. That’s one of many star groupings that people in the past selected for their shapes. Some shapes were said to depict animals, people or objects. Sophia David wondered why people selected these star groupings. She is a high school student at Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood, Penn.
“Ancient people from various cultures connected similar groupings of stars independently of each other,” said David. That suggests that different people were perceiving the stars in the same way. So David teamed up with scientists at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She presented their work on March 18 at an online meeting of the American Physical Society.
The researchers thought about how the eyes travel across this night sky. Human eyes tend to move in discrete (分离的) jumps, called saccades (Seh-KAADS). That’s when both eyes quickly shift from one point of interest to another. The team created a computer simulation based on the distribution of saccade lengths. They also included two basic details of the night sky as seen from Earth. The first was how far apart different stars appear from one another in the sky. The second was how bright various stars are.
The technique could pick out single constellations. One constellation it picked out was the star grouping known as Dorado, the Dolphinfish. The researchers also used the technique to map the whole sky. It generated groups of stars. The scientists compared those groups to the 88 modern constellations. Those are groups of stars recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The two sets of star groups mostly matched. That confirmed the method worked to explain how the constellations came to be.
8. What are the scientists interested in?
A. How the Big Dipper came to exist.
B. What contributes to the pattern of groups of stars.
C. How the Big Dipper influenced other groups of stars.
D. Why certain groups of stars are attractive to human eyes.
9. What did Sophia David discover?
A. Stars are really independent of each other.
B. Ancient people were good at observing stars.
C. Cultures hardly influence people’s way to perceive stars.
D. Ancient people cooperated with each other in studying stars.
10. What did the researchers try to do?
A. To discover new constellations in the night sky. B. To use technology to recognize constellations.
C. To study the movement of human eyes. D. To count the number of constellations.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Dorado is the largest constellation in the sky.
B. The researchers decided to improve their method.
C. The scientists have found the way the constellations came to be.
D. The International Astronomical Union should study modern constellations.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家对于星座的研究,指出不同的人以相同的方式感知星星,以及科学家们已经发现了星座形成的方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, scientists have been intrigued by three factors that can explain why certain groups of stars form such recognizable patterns.(现在,科学家们对三个因素很感兴趣,这些因素可以解释为什么某些恒星群会形成这样可识别的模式)”可知,科学家们对于是什么促成了恒星群的模式感兴趣。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Ancient people from various cultures connected similar groupings of stars independently of each other,” said David. That suggests that different people were perceiving the stars in the same way. (大卫说:“来自不同文化背景的古人彼此独立地将相似的星群联系在一起。”这表明不同的人以相同的方式感知星星)”可知,索菲亚·大卫发现文化几乎不会影响人们感知星星的方式。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The team created a computer simulation based on the distribution of saccade lengths. They also included two basic details of the night sky as seen from Earth. The first was how far apart different stars appear from one another in the sky. The second was how bright various stars are.(该团队根据眼眺长度的分布创建了一个计算机模拟。它们还包括从地球上看到的夜空的两个基本细节。第一个是不同的恒星在天空中彼此之间的距离。第二个是不同的星星有多亮)”可知,研究人员试图利用技术来识别星座。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The technique could pick out single constellations. One constellation it picked out was the star grouping known as Dorado, the Dolphinfish. The researchers also used the technique to map the whole sky. It generated groups of stars. The scientists compared those groups to the 88 modern constellations. Those are groups of stars recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The two sets of star groups mostly matched. That confirmed the method worked to explain how the constellations came to be.(这项技术可以挑出单个星座。它挑选出的一个星座是被称为多拉多的恒星群,即海豚。研究人员还使用该技术绘制了整个天空。它产生了一群恒星。科学家们将这些星座与88个现代星座进行了比较。这些是国际天文学联合会认可的恒星群。这两组星群基本匹配。这证实了该方法能够解释星座的形成过程)”可知,科学家们已经发现了星座形成的方式。故选C。
D
“It was found by my dad,” says archaeologist Andrew Birley. At the time, his father Robin Birley found two oily pieces of wood and picked them up and rubbed them between his fingers. And when he did that, the two pieces came apart — and he saw the writing: the everyday record of an ancient Roman soldier. The content of the wooden tablet included household matters and personal experiences.
The first tablet was damaged because archaeologists at the time didn’t realize how delicate the ancient wooden artifacts (人工制品) were. But since then, more than 1,800 similar tablets have been found among other buried artifacts at Vindolanda, and they’re now recognized as some of the world’s greatest archaeological treasures.
The British Museum in London is conducting a new analysis of the materials used to make the Vindolanda tablets, in the hope that by studying the mediums of the tablets they can complete their messages. Most of the tablets were written in Latin language, a very complex language. The tablets were usually found deep underground, where the earth and lack of oxygen prevented the wooden items from damaging. Unfortunately, the Vindolanda site is becoming unstable because of climate change, which causes it ultimately become drier and then wetter, and that means yet- undiscovered writing tablets are less likely to survive in the coming years. It is the most troubling barrier that scientists face in their work. They must act more quickly.
“There were lot of soldiers who came from different backgrounds, and they had to be able to communicate with each other,” Andrew Birley says. “Archaeologists are discovering the tablets not in a centralized, administrative area, but all around the fort (城堡) and surrounding residences where ordinary Roman soldiers lived. They were taught to read and write — uncommon practice at the time. This is really beyond my expectations.”
About half of the 300,000 Roman Army soldiers in Britain were citizens of Rome. The rest were auxiliary troops (后备军队) who had signed up to fight for the Romans for 25 years, with the promise of being granted citizenship at the end of their enlistment (兵役). The tablets show many auxiliary troops came from different places and were sent far from their homes. Regardless of where the troops originated, they wanted to change their life regardless of danger.
12. What do we know about the first tablet found at Vindolanda?
A. Andrew Birley preserved it well. B. It was a diary of a Roman soldier.
C. Andrew Birley found it by accident. D. It was the artwork of the Roman time.
13. What makes it difficult for scientists to study the tablets?
A. The messages on the tablets were destroyed by the war.
B. The Latin language is hard for scientists to understand.
C. The materials used to make the tablets are nowhere to find.
D. The natural condition of preserving the tablets has become worse.
14. What surprises Andrew Birley?
A. The great number of Roman soldiers.
B. The literacy skills of Roman soldiers.
C. The different background s of Roman soldiers.
D. The centralized administration of Roman soldiers.
15. Which word can best describe the auxiliary troops?
A. Daring. B. United. C. Organized. D. Selfless.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述考古学家在温多兰达发现了1800多块纪录古罗马军队士兵生活的碑文,它们现在被公认为世界上最伟大的考古宝藏之一。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“And when he did that, the two pieces came apart — and he saw the writing: the everyday record of an ancient Roman soldier. The content of the wooden tablet included household matters and personal experiences.(当他这样做的时候,这两部分就分开了——他看到了文字:一位古罗马士兵的日常记录。碑文的内容包括家庭事务和个人经历。)”可知,在温多兰达发现的第一块有文字的碑文是一名罗马士兵的日记。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Unfortunately, the Vindolanda site is becoming unstable because of climate change, which causes it ultimately become drier and then wetter, and that means yet- undiscovered writing tablets are less likely to survive in the coming years. It is the most troubling barrier that scientists face in their work. They must act more quickly.(不幸的是,由于气候变化,文多兰达遗址正变得不稳定,这导致它最终变得更干燥,然后更潮湿,这意味着尚未被发现的碑文在未来几年不太可能存活下来。这是科学家在工作中面临的最令人不安的障碍。他们必须更快地采取行动。)”可知,保存碑文的自然条件变得更糟,这使得科学家很难研究碑文。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“They were taught to read and write — uncommon practice at the time. This is really beyond my expectations.(他们被教导阅读和写作——这在当时是不常见的做法。这真的超出了我的预期。)”可知,罗马士兵的识字能力让Andrew Birley大吃一惊。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The rest were auxiliary troops (后备军队) who had signed up to fight for the Romans for 25 years, with the promise of being granted citizenship at the end of their enlistment (兵役). The tablets show many auxiliary troops came from different places and were sent far from their homes. Regardless of where the troops originated, they wanted to change their life regardless of danger.(其余的是后备军队,他们已报名为罗马人作战25年,并承诺在入伍结束后获得公民身份。碑文显示,许多辅助部队来自不同的地方,被派往远离家乡的地方。无论部队从哪里出发,他们都想不顾危险改变自己的生活。)”可推断,后备军队很勇敢。故选A项。

【答案】
Dear Ben,
I’m sorry to learn about your current trouble regarding the use of AI tools for your assignment. I can fully relate to your situation as I once faced similar temptations to manage heavy academic workloads. However, AI should never replace our own intellectual efforts.
As a scientist once said, “Our intelligence is what makes us human, and AI is an extension of that quality.” While AI can assist in certain areas, over reliance on it undermines the essence of learning and compromise academic integrity. Therefore, I suggest you improve your work without solely depending on AI tools and have an open conversation with your teacher, clarifying your intentions and demonstrating your commitment to genuine learning.
Learning is not just about completing tasks but also about the process of acquiring knowledge. Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors.

“You have to tell us where you are going and you lied,” my sons’ father said to him after telling him he wouldn’t be able to hang out with his friends for two weeks.
My youngest knows the rules: You have to tell us where you will be at all times, and if the plans change, you have to ask before you participate. I’ve drilled this into his head over and over because I’m that anxious mom, the one that worries, the one who is afraid her kids are going to get into a bad situation if she doesn’t repeatedly remind them to make the right choice and follow the rules.
Parents can constantly tell their kids to follow the rules, act politely and do things the “right” way. We can teach them the lessons and hope they follow our advice. But the truth is, even though your child can hear your voice in their ear while they are getting ready to stick their big toe into something that they know would make your bead spin, it might not be enough to stop the them.
There are times when they need to experience feeling scared, uneasy or guilty in order to learn and keep them from repeating the same mistake over and over again. It’s one of the scariest realizations I’ve had as a parent, but after living with three teens for a few years it’s my truth—and it’s the truth of every other parent of a teenager.
Looking back upon my young life, I know nothing really sank in unless I experienced it for myself, like when I stopped eating chocolate late at night and found I was finally able to sleep at night. It took me long to stop damaging my own sleep even though not eating the chocolate was the simple solution. And I am not a stubborn then.
I’ve realized the importance of stepping back ( just a bit ), and letting my teens navigate (寻找) their own way. It’s made all the difference.
4. What does the author expect her son to do?
A. Stop being so anxious. B. Follow the family rules.
C. Learn to tell right from wrong. D. Communicate more with parents.
5. What’s the author’s scariest realization?
A. Kids should tell the truth.
B. Kids should obey social rules.
C. Kids should learn from their parents.
D. Kids should learn by making mistakes.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “sank in” in Paragraph 5?
A. became fully understood B. played an important role
C. sounded possible D. made progress
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Let go of your children B. Give your kids more love
C. Step back when necessary D. Learn important life lessons

The Big Dipper’s stars (北斗星) are a celestial landmark. Visible in the Northern Hemisphere’s night sky, the stars draw out a shape like a scoop with a handle. Beginner stargazers can easily pick it out. Now, scientists have been intrigued by three factors that can explain why certain groups of stars form such recognizable patterns. One is how bright the stars are. Another is how far apart they are. And the third has to do with how human eyes move.
The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major. That’s one of many star groupings that people in the past selected for their shapes. Some shapes were said to depict animals, people or objects. Sophia David wondered why people selected these star groupings. She is a high school student at Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood, Penn.
“Ancient people from various cultures connected similar groupings of stars independently of each other,” said David. That suggests that different people were perceiving the stars in the same way. So David teamed up with scientists at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She presented their work on March 18 at an online meeting of the American Physical Society.
The researchers thought about how the eyes travel across this night sky. Human eyes tend to move in discrete (分离的) jumps, called saccades (Seh-KAADS). That’s when both eyes quickly shift from one point of interest to another. The team created a computer simulation based on the distribution of saccade lengths. They also included two basic details of the night sky as seen from Earth. The first was how far apart different stars appear from one another in the sky. The second was how bright various stars are.
The technique could pick out single constellations. One constellation it picked out was the star grouping known as Dorado, the Dolphinfish. The researchers also used the technique to map the whole sky. It generated groups of stars. The scientists compared those groups to the 88 modern constellations. Those are groups of stars recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The two sets of star groups mostly matched. That confirmed the method worked to explain how the constellations came to be.
8. What are the scientists interested in?
A. How the Big Dipper came to exist.
B. What contributes to the pattern of groups of stars.
C. How the Big Dipper influenced other groups of stars.
D. Why certain groups of stars are attractive to human eyes.
9. What did Sophia David discover?
A. Stars are really independent of each other.
B Ancient people were good at observing stars.
C. Cultures hardly influence people’s way to perceive stars.
D. Ancient people cooperated with each other in studying stars.
10. What did the researchers try to do?
A. To discover new constellations in the night sky. B. To use technology to recognize constellations.
C. To study the movement of human eyes. D. To count the number of constellations.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Dorado is the largest constellation in the sky.
B. The researchers decided to improve their method.
C. The scientists have found the way the constellations came to be.
D. The International Astronomical Union should study modern constellations.
D
“It was found by my dad,” says archaeologist Andrew Birley. At the time, his father Robin Birley found two oily pieces of wood and picked them up and rubbed them between his fingers. And when he did that, the two pieces came apart — and he saw the writing: the everyday record of an ancient Roman soldier. The content of the wooden tablet included household matters and personal experiences.
The first tablet was damaged because archaeologists at the time didn’t realize how delicate the ancient wooden artifacts (人工制品) were. But since then, more than 1,800 similar tablets have been found among other buried artifacts at Vindolanda, and they’re now recognized as some of the world’s greatest archaeological treasures.
The British Museum in London is conducting a new analysis of the materials used to make the Vindolanda tablets, in the hope that by studying the mediums of the tablets they can complete their messages. Most of the tablets were written in Latin language, a very complex language. The tablets were usually found deep underground, where the earth and lack of oxygen prevented the wooden items from damaging. Unfortunately, the Vindolanda site is becoming unstable because of climate change, which causes it ultimately become drier and then wetter, and that means yet- undiscovered writing tablets are less likely to survive in the coming years. It is the most troubling barrier that scientists face in their work. They must act more quickly.
“There were lot of soldiers who came from different backgrounds, and they had to be able to communicate with each other,” Andrew Birley says. “Archaeologists are discovering the tablets not in a centralized, administrative area, but all around the fort (城堡) and surrounding residences where ordinary Roman soldiers lived. They were taught to read and write — uncommon practice at the time. This is really beyond my expectations.”
About half of the 300,000 Roman Army soldiers in Britain were citizens of Rome. The rest were auxiliary troops (后备军队) who had signed up to fight for the Romans for 25 years, with the promise of being granted citizenship at the end of their enlistment (兵役). The tablets show many auxiliary troops came from different places and were sent far from their homes. Regardless of where the troops originated, they wanted to change their life regardless of danger.
12. What do we know about the first tablet found at Vindolanda?
A. Andrew Birley preserved it well. B. It was a diary of a Roman soldier.
C. Andrew Birley found it by accident. D. It was the artwork of the Roman time.
13. What makes it difficult for scientists to study the tablets?
A. The messages on the tablets were destroyed by the war.
B. The Latin language is hard for scientists to understand.
C. The materials used to make the tablets are nowhere to find.
D. The natural condition of preserving the tablets has become worse.
14. What surprises Andrew Birley?
A. The great number of Roman soldiers.
B. The literacy skills of Roman soldiers.
C. The different background s of Roman soldiers.
D. The centralized administration of Roman soldiers.
15. Which word can best describe the auxiliary troops?
A. Daring. B. United. C. Organized. D. Selfless.

47. 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。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.
