But what exactly is a Waldorf school? Waldorf education is based on the ideas and teachings of Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian educator and philosopher who opened his first school in Germany in 1919. Steiner’s schools focused on “whole child” development, rather than the narrow academic focus popular in German schools at the time. Experts in Waldorf education say that these school stress teaching the whole child. A main lesson is taught in a block of time lasting for several weeks. Creative arts like drawing, painting, language studies, music and drama support the main lesson and give students a variety of avenues to learn the material. Students then continue an exploration of the lesson through movement and motor skills, with activities like physical education, building, dancing and gardening. The goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities. Factual knowledge, homework and tests scores receive less attention. Like all educational philosophies, Waldorf schools have both positives and negatives. Advocates like Moskowitz say its approach — balancing academic subjects with artistic and practical activities, teaching kid how to think, not what to think — helps develop a love of learning. Some common drawbacks mentioned in connection with Waldorf schools are the same things that many parents like, such as the lack of emphasis on technology and standardized testing. Because many Waldorf schools are private, tuition may also be an obstacle for some parents. At the Waldorf School of Baltimore, for instance, tuition for the 2021-2022 school year was more than $20,000 according to its website although financial aid is available. Today, there are almost 1,200 Waldorf schools and more than 1,900 Waldorf kindergartens around the world, according to the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education. These schools can be found in approximately 60 different countries around the world. Roughly 130 Waldorf schools, both public and private, are in the United States. The Waldorf Education model has become most popular in European countries, having even influenced many of the public schools. 4. Why did Rudolf Steiner open his first school in 1919? A. He wanted to help children make progress academically B. He planned to fully develop children's potentials in all aspects. C. He expected children to have more indoor activities. D. He tried to follow the teaching in Germany at that time 5. Which of the following receives the most attention in Waldorf education? A. Developing the sense of responsibility. B. Remembering knowledge about facts. C. Achieving high status in society. D. Getting high marks in the tests. 6. How does the author prove the tuition of a Waldorf school is expensive? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing with other schools. C. By listing some reasons. D. By showing the result of a survey. 7. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The course of Waldorf education. B. The origin of Waldorf education. C. The popularity of Waldorf schools. D. The pros and cons of Waldorf education. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了华德福学校创建的历史、培养目标以及学校存在的缺点等情况。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Steiner’s schools focused on “whole child” development, rather than the narrow academic focus popular in German schools at the time.( Steiner的学校关注的是“完整儿童”的发展，而不是当时德国学校流行的狭隘的学术关注)”以及第二段中“Experts in Waldorf education say that these school stress teaching the whole child. (华德福教育的专家说，这些学校强调要全面教育孩子)”可知，Rudolf Steiner在1919年开办了他的第一所学校因为他计划充分开发孩子们各方面的潜能。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities.(华德福教育的目标是培养自由但有道德责任感、具备高度社会能力和创新能力的个人)”可知，培养责任感在华德福教育中最受关注。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because many Waldorf schools are private, tuition may also be an obstacle for some parents. At the Waldorf School of Baltimore, for instance, tuition for the 2021-2022 school year was more than $20,000 according to its website although financial aid is available.(由于许多华德福学校是私立的，学费对一些家长来说可能也是一个障碍。 例如，巴尔的摩华德福学校的网站显示，尽管可以提供助学金，但该学校2021到2022学年的学费超过2万美元)”可推知，作者通过举例说明来证明华德福学校的学费昂贵的。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Today, there are almost 1,200 Waldorf schools and more than 1,900 Waldorf kindergartens around the world, according to the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education. These schools can be found in approximately 60 different countries around the world. Roughly 130 Waldorf schools, both public and private, are in the United States. The Waldorf Education model has become most popular in European countries, having even influenced many of the public schools.(如今，根据公共华德福教育联盟的数据，全世界有近1200所华德福学校和1900多所华德福幼儿园。这些学校分布在全世界大约60个不同的国家。在美国，大约有130所公立和私立的华德福学校。华德福教育模式在欧洲国家非常流行，甚至影响了许多公立学校)”可知，第四段主要讲的是华德福学校受欢迎的情况。故选C。 C Chinese designers are setting themselves apart from the global competition today by turning to China’s rich history for inspiration to create their contemporary clothes. Long before the invention of the qipao, there was a similar-looking type of clothing that most Chinese wore starting from as early as the 26th century BC. Known as hanfu, these traditional clothes featured loose lapels and long flowing sleeves. While the details changed through the centuries, the style of the hanfu has endured even till today, with a growing number of Chinese designers turning to it for inspiration and infusing (注入) elements of it into their contemporary designs. “The old style is monotonous and makes people think of patterns featuring dragons and phoenixes. To make it appealing, we need to get rid of the original frame and be innovative,” said Cai Wenqiao, an integrated design undergraduate student. For her final-year project, Cai designed eight pieces of clothing inspired by the Chinese prose called Peach Blossom Spring by Tao Yuanming. Cai used pink as the main color for all the pieces as it represents the peach blossom. She has also included classic hanfu elements such as embroidery (刺绣) featuring flowers and butterflies. Silk, a common material used to make hanfu, was also the choice material for the project. “The combination of nostalgia (怀旧) and modern influences should set trends for some time to come. The fashion’s future is far from clear, but what is clear is that Chinese designers’ influence and Chinese heritage infusion are here to stay,” wrote Mike Bastin, senior lecturer at Southampton University. 8. What can we learn about hanfu from paragraph 2? A. It develops from the similar-looking qipao. B. It interests a large number of designers. C. lt is characterized by simplicity and comfort. D. It dates back hundreds of centuries. 9. What does the underlined word “monotonous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Inspiring B. Convenient C. Boring D. Expensive 10. What is Mike’s attitude toward the future of integrating Chinese elements into clothes? A. Doubtful B. Positive C. Cautious D. Unclear 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. An Eight-year Project of a Chinese Designer B. A Combination of Ancient and Modern Fashion C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Cultures D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国设计师如何从中国的丰富历史中寻找灵感来创造他们的现代服装，以及这种趋势对未来时尚界的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While the details changed through the centuries, the style of the hanfu has endured even till today, with a growing number of Chinese designers turning to it for inspiration and infusing (注人)elements of it into their contemporary designs. (几个世纪以来，汉服的细节一直在变化，但汉服的风格一直延续到今天，越来越多的中国设计师从汉服中汲取灵感，并将汉服的元素融入到他们的当代设计中。)”可知，越来越多的中国设计师对汉服感兴趣。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“To make it appealing, we need to get rid of the original frame and be innovative (为了吸引人，我们需要摆脱原有的框架，进行创新)”可推测，旧的样式单调。所以monotonous为“单调的”之意。选项A“Inspiring(鼓舞人心的)”；选项B“Convenient (方便的)”；选项C“Boring (单调的)”；选项D“Expensive (昂贵的)”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The combination of nostalgia(怀旧)and modern influences should set trends for some time to come. The fashion’s future is far from clear, but what is clear is that Chinese designers’ influence and Chinese heritage infusion are here to stay,” wrote Mike Bastin, senior lecturer at Southampton University.(“怀旧和现代影响的结合应该会在未来一段时间内引领潮流。”南安普顿大学高级讲师Mike Bastin写道：“时尚的未来还远未明朗，但可以肯定的是，中国设计师的影响和中国传统的注入将会持续下去。”)”可知，Mike对未来将中国元素融入服装抱有积极的态度。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Chinese designers are setting themselves apart from the global competition today by turning to China’s rich history for inspiration to create their contemporary clothes. (中国设计师从中国丰富的历史中汲取灵感，设计出当代服装，使自己在当今的全球竞争中脱颖而出。)”以及最后一段““The combination of nostalgia (怀旧) and modern influences should set trends for some time to come. The fashion’s future is far from clear, but what is clear is that Chinese designers’ influence and Chinese heritage infusion are here to stay,” wrote Mike Bastin, senior lecturer at Southampton University. (“怀旧和现代影响的结合应该会在未来一段时间内引领潮流。”南安普顿大学高级讲师Mike Bastin写道：“时尚的未来还远未明朗，但可以肯定的是，中国设计师的影响和中国传统的注入将会持续下去。”)”可知，文章主要讲述的中国服装设计师将古代和现代相结合引领潮流。故选B。 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。 If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性) is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things. Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. ___12___ And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. ___13___ The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies. ___14___ Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions. The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. ___15___ They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know. So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. ___16___ The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog. A. In other words, there are clear advantages for each. B. They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes. C. Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence. D. But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing. E. However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs. F. When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional. G. They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position. 【答案】12. G 13. C 14. D 15. F 16.

(“狐狸”型思维方式的人的优势在于，他们更有可能从更广泛的来源中寻找新信息，并且对不确定性和新信息感到舒适)”和下文“They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. (他们试图将其纳入自己的观点，而不是将其排除在自己的思维之外)”可知，此处介绍拥有“狐狸”型思维方式的人处理事情的方式。F项“当某件事与他们的观点相矛盾时，他们不会把它当作例外”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. (这个问题可以用“像狐狸的刺猬”风格来回答)”和下文“The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Bernard — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Bernard was very grateful for the children’s help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. She immediately set to work, organizing the necessary materials and ingredients for making popcorn. The children eagerly joined in. The next day, they carefully packed the freshly made popcorn into colorful paper bags, each one tied with a ribbon and labeled with a smiley face. Mrs. Meredith then explained the plan to Bernard and his mother, who were overjoyed at the prospect of Bernard being able to contribute to the family’s income. Bernard, with a newfound sense of purpose, set out with his bags of popcorn, determined to make the most of this opportunity. Bernard was very grateful for the children’s help. He walked through the neighborhood with a spring in his step, proudly offering the popcorn to each household. Bernard’s sales were better than anyone had anticipated, and soon he had earned enough money to help his family with their daily expenses. He returned home, beaming with pride and gratitude, to share the good news with his mother and Mrs. Meredith. The children, too, felt a sense of accomplishment and joy, knowing that they had made a real difference in someone’s life. They learned that even a small act of kindness can have a big impact on someone’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了经济衰退导致许多家庭都在为生计挣扎。Meredith夫人经常探望贫困家庭，并给他们带去食物和药品。一天，她访问了一个特别需要帮助的家庭，其中小男孩Bernard想要为家庭分担经济压力但苦于找不到方法。Meredith夫人的孩子们得知后，决定帮助Bernard。最终，大儿子John提出了一个解决方案：利用叔叔寄来的玉米制作爆米花，让Bernard拿去售卖，从而帮助他赚钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Meredith太太听说John的主意后，也觉得很好。”可知，第一段可描写Meredith太太对John的想法的支持以及她和孩子们一起开始实施这个计划的行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“Bernard非常感激孩子们的帮助。”可知，第二段可描写Bernard的爆米花销量很好，对孩子们帮助的感激之情以及孩子们的感悟。 2.续写线索：准备材料和工具——分工制作爆米花并打包—— Bernard卖爆米花——成功售卖——孩子们感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①动手做，认真着手：set to/get down to ②解释：explain/account for 情绪类 ①渴望地：eagerly/longingly ②欢乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1]  Mrs. Meredith then explained the plan to Bernard and his mother, who were overjoyed at the prospect of Bernard being able to contribute to the family’s income.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] They learned that even a small act of kindness can have a big impact on someone’s life.

Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 1. In the programme, students will _________. A. chair daily meetings B. evaluate the exchange C. meet teachers each week D. practise their language skills 2. To complete the programme, students are required to _________. A. development tests B. participate in pair meetings C. welcome new students D. work on weekly videos 3. What do students need to do during the registration? A. Indicate their languages of interest. B. Select their own coursework. C. Make individual contact. D. Choose their partners. B Parents looking for education pins, especial for kindergarten, have probably come across the term Waldorf. But what exactly is a Waldorf school? Waldorf education is based on the ideas and teachings of Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian educator and philosopher who opened his first school in Germany in 1919. Steiner’s schools focused on “whole child” development, rather than the narrow academic focus popular in German schools at the time. Experts in Waldorf education say that these school stress teaching the whole child. A main lesson is taught in a block of time lasting for several weeks. Creative arts like drawing, painting, language studies, music and drama support the main lesson and give students a variety of avenues to learn the material. Students then continue an exploration of the lesson through movement and motor skills, with activities like physical education, building, dancing and gardening. The goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities. Factual knowledge, homework and tests scores receive less attention. Like all educational philosophies, Waldorf schools have both positives and negatives. Advocates like Moskowitz say its approach — balancing academic subjects with artistic and practical activities, teaching kid how to think, not what to think — helps develop a love of learning. Some common drawbacks mentioned in connection with Waldorf schools are the same things that many parents like, such as the lack of emphasis on technology and standardized testing. Because many Waldorf schools are private, tuition may also be an obstacle for some parents. At the Waldorf School of Baltimore, for instance, tuition for the 2021-2022 school year was more than $20,000 according to its website although financial aid is available. Today, there are almost 1,200 Waldorf schools and more than 1,900 Waldorf kindergartens around the world, according to the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education. These schools can be found in approximately 60 different countries around the world. Roughly 130 Waldorf schools, both public and private, are in the United States. The Waldorf Education model has become most popular in European countries, having even influenced many of the public schools. 4. Why did Rudolf Steiner open his first school in 1919? A. He wanted to help children make progress academically B. He planned to fully develop children's potentials in all aspects. C. He expected children to have more indoor activities. D. He tried to follow the teaching in Germany at that time 5. Which of the following receives the most attention in Waldorf education? A. Developing the sense of responsibility. B. Remembering knowledge about facts. C. Achieving high status in society. D. Getting high marks in the tests. 6. How does the author prove the tuition of a Waldorf school is expensive? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing with other schools. C. By listing some reasons. D. By showing the result of a survey. 7 What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The course of Waldorf education. B. The origin of Waldorf education. C. The popularity of Waldorf schools. D. The pros and cons of Waldorf education. C Chinese designers are setting themselves apart from the global competition today by turning to China’s rich history for inspiration to create their contemporary clothes. Long before the invention of the qipao, there was a similar-looking type of clothing that most Chinese wore starting from as early as the 26th century BC. Known as hanfu, these traditional clothes featured loose lapels and long flowing sleeves. While the details changed through the centuries, the style of the hanfu has endured even till today, with a growing number of Chinese designers turning to it for inspiration and infusing (注入) elements of it into their contemporary designs. “The old style is monotonous and makes people think of patterns featuring dragons and phoenixes. To make it appealing, we need to get rid of the original frame and be innovative,” said Cai Wenqiao, an integrated design undergraduate student. For her final-year project, Cai designed eight pieces of clothing inspired by the Chinese prose called Peach Blossom Spring by Tao Yuanming. Cai used pink as the main color for all the pieces as it represents the peach blossom. She has also included classic hanfu elements such as embroidery (刺绣) featuring flowers and butterflies. Silk, a common material used to make hanfu, was also the choice material for the project. “The combination of nostalgia (怀旧) and modern influences should set trends for some time to come. The fashion’s future is far from clear, but what is clear is that Chinese designers’ influence and Chinese heritage infusion are here to stay,” wrote Mike Bastin, senior lecturer at Southampton University. 8. What can we learn about hanfu from paragraph 2? A. It develops from the similar-looking qipao. B. It interests a large number of designers. C. lt is characterized by simplicity and comfort. D. It dates back hundreds of centuries. 9. What does the underlined word “monotonous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Inspiring B. Convenient C. Boring D. Expensive 10. What is Mike’s attitude toward the future of integrating Chinese elements into clothes? A. Doubtful B. Positive C. Cautious D. Unclear 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. An Eight-year Project of a Chinese Designer B. A Combination of Ancient and Modern Fashion C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Cultures D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends 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。 If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things. Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. ___12___ And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. ___13___ The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies. ___14___ Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions. The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. ___15___ They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know. So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. ___16___ The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog. A. In other words, there are clear advantages for each. B. They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes. C. Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence. D. But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing. E. However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs. F. When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional. G. They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My classmate Pratik was always painting on paper in his spare time.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Bernard — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Bernard was very grateful for the children’s help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5CAAAC 6-10ACAAC 11-15ACBBC 16-20BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
