The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland— a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31. 19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body. Corones, who is qualified for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was “quite delighted” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been overwhelmed by the “roaring” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only entrant (新成员), had been specifically staged for him to challenge the record. Corones was a keen swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War II, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired. Then he started swimming again for exercise. Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. On average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gym sessions. “At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical,” he said. Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23. 10, which was also set by Harrison. “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said. 4. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To show who John Harrison is. B To introduce the topic of the text. C. To emphasize the importance of age. D. To explain the reason for writing the text. 5. What does the underlined word “astronomical” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Enormous. B. Original. C. Brief. D. Precise. 6. What does Corones plan to do next? A. Prepare for his 100th birthday party. B. Challenge Harrison again. C. Celebrate his success. D. Challenge the 100 m backstroke. 7. What does the author tell us by telling Corones’s story? A. It’s never too late to learn, B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章开篇借助George Corones99岁高龄打破50米自由泳世界纪录的故事引出文章中心，通过讲述George Corones游泳的故事，告诉读者学习永远不嫌晚。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的内容“A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50 m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland— a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31. 19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body.(在50米自由泳比赛中，一名99岁的澳大利亚游泳运动员似乎打破了他所在年龄组的世界纪录。在昆士兰举行的一场官方活动中，可能成为世界纪录新保持者的George Corones以56.12秒的成绩打破了100-104岁年龄组的新纪录。他打破了之前1分31秒19的纪录，比之快了35秒，而这个记录是英国游泳运动员John Harrison在2014年创造的。现在该决定将得到体育管理机构的确认。)”可知，本段介绍George Corones的事迹，而下文还在继续讲他的事迹。由此可知，整篇文章就是围绕George Corones展开的，故作者写第一段的目的就是为了引出下文，引出文章主题。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical.(到了这个年纪，你需要花点时间才能开始，你很容易就会筋疲力尽，但如果训练得当，那么你获得的回报是astronomical)”可知，转折连词but后面所表达的内容与前面应是相反相对的，前面说年龄大了，更容易筋疲力尽，但是如果训练得当，那么对应的收获也会很大，故astronomical应与“收获巨大”的含义对应。结合选项可知，Enormous含义与之相符，意为“巨大的、极大的”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Corones will challenge the 100 m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23. 10, which was also set by Harrison.(科罗恩斯将于周六晚挑战100米自由泳纪录，他相信自己可以打破目前3分23秒10的记录，这也是由哈里森创的。)”可知，Corones打算周六继续挑战Harrison创的100米自由泳记录，即他打算继续挑战Harrison。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said.(他说：“无论如何，我已经不年轻了，但我真的很期待，我有信心能做得很好。”)”可知，作者其实是想借助Corones的故事告诉大家，哪怕身体不再年轻，但只要愿意去学习、去拼搏，总会有意想不到的收获，就像Corones一样，80岁才开始学习游泳，但也能破世界纪录，A项It’s never too late to learn.(学习永远不嫌晚。)符合文章大意。故选A项。 C New research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment (认知损坏) may not necessarily develop dementia (痴呆) and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal. The study, led by researchers at the University of Waterloo, may reassure those with mild cognitive impairment as it contradicts a common assumption that the condition is simply an early stage of dementia. People with mild cognitive impairment show signs of cognitive decline, but not enough to prevent them from performing typical daily tasks. They have been considered at higher risk of progressing to the more severe cognitive decline seen in dementia. “Possessing high cognitive reserve, based on education, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after someone receives a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment,” said Suzanne Tyas, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at Waterloo and lead author. “Even after considering age, genetics and established risk factors for dementia, we found that higher levels of education more than doubled the chances that people with mild cognitive impairment would return to normal cognition instead of progressing to dementia.” The study’s findings have meanings for treatment and research in people with mild cognitive impairment. “If individuals with higher cognitive reserve are more likely to improve even without treatment, then this needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting participants for clinical trials of prospective treatments and when interpreting the results of these trials,” Tyas said, adding there’s no cure for most causes of dementia, so prevention is key. 8. About mild cognitive impairment, which is consistent with the study? A. It surely results in dementia. B. It is an early stage of dementia. C. It will stop people's daily action. D. It doesn’t surely lead to dementia. 9. How is one’s cognitive reserve assessed? A. Through personal income. B. Through social frequency. C. Through his education. D. Through personal relationship. 10. What is the most significant to do with dementia? A. Early prevention. B. Medical care. C. Proper cure. D. Specific medicine. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. People with cognitive impairment show cognitive decline. B. Age and genetics are established risk factors for dementia. C. A study focuses on the consequence of cognitive impairment. D. Higher education and language skills may help stop dementia. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项新研究，研究发现受过高等教育和拥有高级语言技能会使痴呆症患者恢复正常的机会增加一倍以上，可能有助于阻止痴呆症。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“New research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment (认知损坏) may not necessarily develop dementia (痴呆) and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal. (新的研究发现，轻度认知受损的人不一定患痴呆症，事实上，受过高等教育和拥有高级语言技能会使他们恢复正常的机会增加一倍以上。)”可知，新的研究发现，轻度认知受损的人不一定患痴呆症。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Possessing high cognitive reserve, based on education, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after someone receives a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment,” said Suzanne Tyas, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at Waterloo and lead author. (滑铁卢公共卫生科学学院教授，第一作者Suzanne Tyas说：“拥有高认知储备是基于教育、高学术成绩和书面语言技能，它可以预测某人被诊断为轻度认知障碍多年后会发生什么。”)”可知，高认知储备是基于教育、高学术成绩和书面语言技能。所以可以通过教育、高学术成绩和书面语言技能评估人的认知储备。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““If individuals with higher cognitive reserve are more likely to improve even without treatment, then this needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting participants for clinical trials of prospective treatments and when interpreting the results of these trials,” Tyas said, adding there’s no cure for most causes of dementia, so prevention is key. (Tyas说：“如果认知储备较高的个体即使没有治疗也更有可能改善，那么在招募参与者进行前瞻性治疗的临床试验以及解释这些试验的结果时，需要考虑这一点”，Tyas并补充说，大多数痴呆症病因都无法治愈，因此预防是关键。)”可知，预防是痴呆症的关键。所以对于解决痴呆问题最重要的是：预防痴呆症。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment (认知损坏) may not necessarily develop dementia (痴呆) and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal. (新的研究发现，轻度认知受损的人不一定患痴呆症，事实上，受过高等教育和拥有高级语言技能会使他们恢复正常的机会增加一倍以上。)”及第三段““Even after considering age, genetics and established risk factors for dementia, we found that higher levels of education more than doubled the chances that people with mild cognitive impairment would return to normal cognition instead of progressing to dementia.” (“即使在考虑了年龄，遗传学和痴呆症的既定风险因素之后，我们发现，较高的教育水平使轻度认知障碍患者恢复正常认知而不是发展为痴呆症的机会增加了一倍多。)”可知，文章主要介绍一项新研究，研究发现受过高等教育和拥有高级语言技能会使痴呆症患者恢复正常的机会增加一倍以上。故推知高等教育和语言技能可能有助于阻止痴呆症，并让患者恢复正常。故选D。 D Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design an app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation. UQ’s Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. “Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.” Take the common bird pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种) and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds(候鸟) exist geographically in relation to the language spoken in those regions. “We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species,” Dr Negret said. Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they're mammals, amphibians(两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said. “The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we’re working hard to improve science communication across languages.” 12. How can the app help scientists globally? A. By creating language barriers. B. By building language bridges. C. By sharing learning methods. D. By breaking down race barriers. 13. What is the function of adequate sharing of information? A. Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures. B. Helping people know more about scientists' efforts. C. Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide. D. Compromising the effectiveness of conservation measures. 14. What is shown on the app? A. The producer of the app. B. The organizations involved. C. The location of endangered birds. D. The information of new geographers. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Birds Protection Is an Urgency B. New Bird App Spreads Its Wings C. New Bird App Helps Learn Languages D. Poor Communication Impacts Cooperation 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了昆士兰大学研究的一款软件，它打破了科学家之间的语言障碍，以保护世界各地濒临灭绝的鸟类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design an app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.”（昆士兰大学的研究人员帮助设计了一款应用程序，通过打破科学家之间的语言障碍，以保护世界各地面濒临灭绝的鸟类。鸟类语言多样性网络应用程序将有助于提供“鸟瞰视图”，确保重要信息共享，以改善全球保护）可知，这款软件主要是通过搭建语言桥梁，来打破科学家之间的语言障碍，故选择B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.””（ 内格罗特博士说。“如果没有足够的信息共享，这可能会影响保护措施的有效性。”）可知，充分信息共享的作用在于确保保护措施的有效性，故选择A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中第一句“This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds (候鸟) exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions.”（该应用程序显示了濒危的鸟类和候鸟的地理位置，以及这些地区的语言）可知，在这款应用程序上会显示濒危鸟类的地理位置，故选择C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的第一句“Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design an app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists.”（昆士兰大学的研究人员帮助设计了一款应用程序，通过打破科学家之间的语言障碍，以保护世界各地面濒临灭绝的鸟类）以及最后一段的第一句“Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species.（研究人员和论文合著者天野达也博士表示，这项工作可能会扩展到鸟类以外的领域）可知，本文主要说的是这款打破科学家之间语言障碍的应用程序，以及它未来在鸟类以外的领域的应用，故选择B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。 Preparations for Beginners Before Starting Tennis Lessons As a beginner stepping into the world of tennis, it’s important to be well-prepared to make the most of your learning experience.

Tom stopped socializing altogether six years ago after his wife. Meredith, died of cancer. He had all of his time to himself, reading books, watching TV and occasionally experimenting with new cooking recipes on social media platform. With time. Tom realized he didn’t particularly like being alone. His only son, Aiden, was a successful analyst (分析师) in a big IT firm in New York City, and Tom wanted Aiden to visit him, but the young man kept putting it off. Suddenly Tom noticed that the rubbish bags were left outside instead of inside the bin (垃圾桶). Thinking it would relieve his boredom, Tom went to the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. When he was done, he noticed that nearly every family in the area had left their rubbish bags outside the bins. Tom knew it would be difficult to clean up the rubbish in front of all the houses in the hot weather, but he couldn’t just see the rubbish bags left like that. He took a big rubbish bag from his backyard and decided to move from one house to the next, clearing up the litter. Tom stopped right in front of the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. But he hadn’t even left when a man came with a rubbish bag and simply dropped it on the road. To make matters worse, he didn’t even secure the bag properly, so the wind blew part of the rubbish onto the street. 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 that point, Tom lost his cool. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While continuing to clear the rubbish, he noticed a young boy joined him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 At that point, Tom lost his cool. “What on earth are you doing? Can’t you see I’m trying to clean up here?” he shouted at the man. The man looked at him, surprised, and then shrugged his shoulders. “It’s not my job to clean up the rubbish. I pay my taxes, and the city should take care of it,” he said and walked away. Tom was furious. He couldn’t believe how selfish some people could be. While continuing to clear the rubbish, he noticed a young boy joined him. “Hello, Mr. Hankins. I saw what you were doing, and I thought I’d help you,” the boy said. Tom looked at him, surprised and grateful. “Thank you, young man. That’s very kind of you,” he said. Together, they worked hard to clean up the rubbish. When they were done, Tom felt a sense of satisfaction. He realized that even though there were selfish people in the world, there were also kind and caring ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了88岁的汤姆·汉金斯看到垃圾袋被放在外面，就走到垃圾箱旁，开始清理垃圾，把袋子放进垃圾箱里。一个丢垃圾的人还十分不配合，让汤姆很生气，好在一个小男孩加入了他的行列，他们一起努力清理垃圾。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当时，汤姆失去了冷静”可知，第一段可描写汤姆对这人自私的行为感到愤怒。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他继续清理垃圾时，他注意到一个小男孩也加入了他的行列”可知，第二段可描写男孩和汤姆一起清理垃圾，感到满足。 2.续写线索：失去冷静——对方自私——汤姆生气——男孩加入——男孩帮助——一起清理——感到满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①叫喊：shout/yell ②看着：look at/stare at ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②生气：furious/outraged 【点睛】[高分句型1] I saw what you were doing, and I thought I’d help you (运用了what，that引导的宾语从句，省略了that) [高分句型2] He realized that even though there were selfish people in the world, there were also kind and caring ones.

B A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland— a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31. 19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body. Corones, who is qualified for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was “quite delighted” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been overwhelmed by the “roaring” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only entrant (新成员), had been specifically staged for him to challenge the record. Corones was a keen swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War II, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired. Then he started swimming again for exercise. Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. On average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gym sessions. “At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical,” he said. Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23. 10, which was also set by Harrison. “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said. 4. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To show who John Harrison is. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To emphasize the importance of age. D. To explain the reason for writing the text. 5. What does the underlined word “astronomical” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Enormous. B. Original. C. Brief. D. Precise. 6. What does Corones plan to do next? A. Prepare for his 100th birthday party. B. Challenge Harrison again. C. Celebrate his success. D. Challenge the 100 m backstroke. 7. What does the author tell us by telling Corones’s story? A. It’s never too late to learn, B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. C New research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment (认知损坏) may not necessarily develop dementia (痴呆) and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal. The study, led by researchers at the University of Waterloo, may reassure those with mild cognitive impairment as it contradicts a common assumption that the condition is simply an early stage of dementia. People with mild cognitive impairment show signs of cognitive decline, but not enough to prevent them from performing typical daily tasks. They have been considered at higher risk of progressing to the more severe cognitive decline seen in dementia. “Possessing high cognitive reserve, based on education, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after someone receives a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment,” said Suzanne Tyas, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at Waterloo and lead author. “Even after considering age, genetics and established risk factors for dementia, we found that higher levels of education more than doubled the chances that people with mild cognitive impairment would return to normal cognition instead of progressing to dementia.” The study’s findings have meanings for treatment and research in people with mild cognitive impairment. “If individuals with higher cognitive reserve are more likely to improve even without treatment, then this needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting participants for clinical trials of prospective treatments and when interpreting the results of these trials,” Tyas said, adding there’s no cure for most causes of dementia, so prevention is key. 8. About mild cognitive impairment which is consistent with the study? A. It surely results in dementia. B. It is an early stage of dementia. C. It will stop people's daily action. D. It doesn’t surely lead to dementia. 9. How is one’s cognitive reserve assessed? A. Through personal income. B. Through social frequency. C. Through his education. D. Through personal relationship. 10. What is the most significant to do with dementia? A. Early prevention. B. Medical care. C. Proper cure. D. Specific medicine. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. People with cognitive impairment show cognitive decline. B. Age and genetics are established risk factors for dementia. C. A study focuses on the consequence of cognitive impairment. D. Higher education and language skills may help stop dementia. D Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design an app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation. UQ’s Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. “Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.” Take the common bird pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种) and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds(候鸟) exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions. “We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species,” Dr Negret said. Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they're mammals, amphibians(两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said. “The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we’re working hard to improve science communication across languages.” 12. How can the app help scientists globally? A. By creating language barriers. B. By building language bridges. C. By sharing learning methods. D. By breaking down race barriers. 13. What is the function of adequate sharing of information? A. Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures. B. Helping people know more about scientists' efforts. C. Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide. D. Compromising the effectiveness of conservation measures. 14. What is shown on the app? A The producer of the app. B. The organizations involved. C. The location of endangered birds. D. The information of new geographers. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Birds Protection Is an Urgency B. New Bird App Spreads Its Wings C. New Bird App Helps Learn Languages D. Poor Communication Impacts Cooperation 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。 Preparations for Beginners Before Starting Tennis Lessons As a beginner stepping into the world of tennis, it’s important to be well-prepared to make the most of your learning experience.

It was a beautiful and sunny day in Florida. Tom stopped socializing altogether six years ago after his wife. Meredith, died of cancer. He had all of his time to himself, reading books, watching TV and occasionally experimenting with new cooking recipes on social media platform. With time. Tom realized he didn’t particularly like being alone. His only son, Aiden, was a successful analyst (分析师) in a big IT firm in New York City, and Tom wanted Aiden to visit him, but the young man kept putting it off. Suddenly, Tom noticed that the rubbish bags were left outside instead of inside the bin (垃圾桶). Thinking it would relieve his boredom, Tom went to the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. When he was done, he noticed that nearly every family in the area had left their rubbish bags outside the bins. Tom knew it would be difficult to clean up the rubbish in front of all the houses in the hot weather, but he couldn’t just see the rubbish bags left like that. He took a big rubbish bag from his backyard and decided to move from one house to the next, clearing up the litter. Tom stopped right in front of the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. But he hadn’t even left when a man came with a rubbish bag and simply dropped it on the road. To make matters worse, he didn’t even secure the bag properly, so the wind blew part of the rubbish onto the street. 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 that point, Tom lost his cool. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While continuing to clear the rubbish he noticed a young boy joined him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
