Throughout our day, storefronts and websites announce themselves through the typefaces (字体) they use. Adonian Chan, a 33-year-old Hong Kong graphic designer, calls the different texts a “visual landscape”. In his hometown, signs written in traditional Chinese characters can be found around every corner. One calligraphy style, above all, has come to represent Hong Kong: Beiwei Kaishu, which has its origins in 4th-century China. After World War Ⅱ, Beiwei Kaishu was used widely in Hong Kong signs, partly because it is highly recognizable, even from far distances. But with the appearance of LED signs and computer-generated typefaces, signs written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong. As a result, few designers working today are aware of the Beiwei Kaishu style. In 2016, Chan asked a master of calligraphy in Hong Kong to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style. He then started the process of digitizing the characters. He first wrote the characters on paper with a brush and ink. Next, he made a pencil sketch. Finally, he recreated the characters digitally, using a computer program called Glyphs. One of the main challenges when digitizing the ancient calligraphy is striking a balance between the artistic expression and the need of design, says Chan. He can complete two characters a day, depending on their complexity, and is aiming to digitize 6,000 characters. Chan says his project is more than preserving a centuries-old writing style and that he sees himself as building on the work of previous generations. He has named his typeface Beiwei Zansyu and hopes it will eventually be installed on phones and computers. 4. Why was Beiwei Kaishu popular in Hong Kong after World War Ⅱ? A. It had a long history. B. It could be seen clearly. C. It was a symbol of Hong Kong. D. It fitted in the “visual landscape”. 5. What leads to the disappearance of Beiwei Kaishu? A. Its pattern. B. Urban development. C. Its designers. D. New technologies. 6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Beiwei Zansyu will be available soon. B. Beiwei Zansyu looks great on the phone. C. Chan’s project is time-consuming. D. Preserving the ancient style is Chan’s only purpose. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Digitizing Tradition: Adonian Chan’s Journey with Beiwei Zansyu B. Hong Kong’s Visual Landscape: Beiwci Kaishu in Signs C. A Disappearing Typeface: Lost Art in Technology Era D. Calligraphy Crisis: Technology Saves Art 【答案】4 B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是33岁的设计师Adonian Chan为保护和复兴濒危的中国传统书法北魏楷书所做的努力，他通过将北魏楷书数字化的方式来保护该字体。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After World War Ⅱ, Beiwei Kaishu was used widely in Hong Kong signs, partly because it is highly recognizable, even from far distances.( 第二次世界大战后，北魏楷书被广泛用于香港标识中，部分原因是它很容易辨认，即使从很远的地方也能认出来。)”可知，二战后，北魏楷书在香港很受欢迎的原因是它可以被看得很清楚。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“But with the appearance of LED signs and computer-generated typefaces, signs written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong. (但随着LED标识和电脑生成字体的出现，北魏楷书风格的标识正在从香港消失。)”可知，新科技的出现导致北魏楷书的消失。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One of the main challenges when digitizing the ancient calligraphy is striking a balance between the artistic expression and the need of design, says Chan. He can complete two characters a day, depending on their complexity, and is aiming to digitize 6,000 characters.(Chan说，将古代书法数字化的主要挑战之一是在艺术表现和设计需求之间取得平衡。他每天可以完成两个字符，具体取决于它们的复杂性，他的目标是将6000个字符数字化。)”可推知，因为电子化这一字体的复杂性，Chan要完成这项工作将非常耗时。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段“In 2016, Chan asked a master of calligraphy in Hong Kong to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style. He then started the process of digitizing the characters. He first wrote the characters on paper with a brush and ink. Next, he made a pencil sketch. Finally, he recreated the characters digitally, using a computer program called Glyphs.(2016年， Chan请香港的一位书法大师教他用北魏开术风格书写。然后，他开始了将字符数字化的过程。他首先用毛笔和墨水把这些字写在纸上。接下来，他画了一幅铅笔素描。最后，他使用名为Glyphs的计算机程序以数字方式重新创建了这些角色。)”以及上下文可知，本文讲述了一位香港设计师Adonian Chan有感于传统字体的衰落，而采用电子化字体的方式将北魏楷书这一传统字体进行保存和再创造，以适应现代信息社会发展的需要。所以A项“Digitizing Tradition: Adonian Chan’s Journey with Beiwei Zansyu(数字化传统：Adonian Chan北魏楷书之旅程)”能够概括文章主旨。故选A项。 C A new study suggests classic paintings by well-known Impressionists Joseph Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard and Sorbonne universities, analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901. Scientists don’t know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data. However, researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long-term environmental change with the air pollution. In particular, researchers said changes in local sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) emissions from burning coal may changes in the colour contrast and intensity of Turner, Monet, and others’ works, even after the artistic trends and subject matter of the time. Scientists successfully measured painters’ representation of nature, focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe. Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent. Generally, artists can historically accurately represent their environment, so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution, when air pollution grew at a rate never seen before. Additionally, researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted, the cities would appear hazier (模糊的) to the eyes as well as in photographs. By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era, they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions. 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to relevant historical records. B. By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet. C. By examining Impressionists’ works closely. D. By analyzing local weather patterns in Europe. 9. What did the researchers find in the works of Turner and Monet? A. Signs of air pollution. B. Change in subject matter. C. Social trends of the period. D. Development of photography. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. European artists preferred landscape paintings. B. Scientists focused on studying weather patterns. C. Artists always intended to present environment. D. Britain suffered from air pollution most in Europe. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Industrial Revolution causes severe air pollution. B. Air pollution makes itself a theme in Impressionist painting. C. Impressionists’ works identify air pollution in the past. D. Art mirrors the environment. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是一项新研究表明，著名印象派画家约瑟夫·特纳和克劳德·莫奈的经典画作可能受到了工业革命期间空气污染的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard and Sorbonne universities, analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901.(哈佛大学和索邦大学的作者在《美国国家科学院院刊》上发表了这项研究，分析了特纳1796年至1850年的60幅油画和莫奈1864年至1901年的38幅油画。)”可知，科学家通过分析印象派画家的作品探查工业革命时期的空气污染情况。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long-term environmental change with the air pollution.(然而，研究人员表示，通过研究特纳和莫奈的作品，可以了解空气污染带来的长期环境变化。)”可知，研究人员在特纳和莫奈的作品中发现了当时的空气污染。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Scientists successfully measured painters’ representation of nature, focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe. Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent.(科学家们成功地测量了画家对自然再现，重点研究了影响欧洲不同地区画作色彩的当地天气模式的差异。在英国创作的画作中，天空的蓝色通常比欧洲大陆其他地区的画作要淡一些。)”可推知，英国在欧洲遭受空气污染最严重。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study suggests classic paintings by well-known Impressionists Joseph Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.(一项新的研究表明，著名印象派画家约瑟夫·特纳和克劳德·莫奈的经典画作可能受到了工业革命期间空气污染的影响。)”以及下文可知，一项新的研究表明，著名印象派画家约瑟夫·特纳和克劳德·莫奈的经典画作可能受到了工业革命期间空气污染的影响，文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及发现。所以C项Impressionists’ works identify air pollution in the past.(印象派的作品识别了过去的空气污染。)符合语境。故选C项。 D Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls. But it might be time to unlearn that training — this summer, a group of culture addicts, artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor’s Island. The project is called Writing On It All, and it’s a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor’s Island every summer since 2013. “Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons, or they just kind of happen to be there,” Alexandra Chasin, artistic director of Writing On It All, tells Smithsonian.com. The season this year runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile (流放). Governor’s Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as “New York’s shared space for art and play”, the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals, picnics, adventures, as well as these “legal graffiti (涂鸦)” sessions. The notes and art covering the walls are an experiment in self-expression. So far, participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her. “One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls,” says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. “People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages.” 12. Writing On It All was set up to __________. A. attract tourists to Governor’s Island B. attract people to writing and art courses C. encourage participants to practice graffiti D. encourage participants to express themselves 13. Which of the following about Writing On It All this year is NOT true? A. It ends on June 26th. B. It asks people to write essays. C. It consists of themed sessions. D. It attracts people from all walks of life. 14. Why will people gather at Governor’s Island in the summer? A. To seek legal advice. B. To receive military training. C. To celebrate some festivals. D. To experience driving adventures. 15. Some names written on the wall are mentioned in the last paragraph because __________. A. they expressed a special message B. they were beautiful handwriting C. they were written by black women D. they supported state violence 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项在老房子的墙上涂鸦的活动。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. (每节期都有一个主题，参与者会收到各种材料和提示，并被要求用他们的想法和艺术来覆盖表面。)”和倒数第二段“The notes and art covering the walls are an experiment in self-expression.(墙上的音符和艺术品是自我表达的实验。)”可猜测，Writing On It All 是为了鼓励参与者表达自己。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“The season this year runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile(流放).(今年的演出季将持续到6月26日，从舞者到家政工人，每个人都会发挥作用。每一期都有一个主题，参与者会收到各种材料和提示，并被要求用他们的想法和艺术来覆盖墙面。今年的规划范围从把这间屋子变为合作散文，到探索流亡的意义。)”以及结合选项可知，A、C、D均提及，而B项It asks people to write essays.(它要求人们写论文。)未提及到。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段“Now known as ‘New York’s shared space for art and play’, the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals, picnics, adventures, as well as these ‘legal graffiti(涂鸦)’ sessions.(现在被称为‘纽约的艺术和娱乐共享空间’，该岛位于纽约湾上曼哈顿和布鲁克林之间，对汽车关闭，但对夏季游客开放，他们蜂拥而至参加节日、野餐、冒险以及这些‘合法涂鸦’活动。)”以及结合选项可知，夏天，人们聚集在Governor’s Island庆祝一些节日。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“ “One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls,” says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. “People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages.”(“其中最让我感动的是国家对黑人妇女和黑人女孩的暴力，”查辛说，他解释说，在一个房间里，人们写下了因暴力而丧生的人的名字。“人们做着美丽的工作，留下美丽的信息。”)”可知，墙上写的一些名字被提及，因为它们表达了一种特殊的信息。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为选项。 As our lives become more closely connected with the digital age, it’s more important than ever to keep the spark of human connections, a key part of which is making small talk. ___16___ Here’s how to master the art of small talk.

However, the pocket money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I didn’t have any extra money to buy the album (音乐专辑), which made me disappointed. Luckily, I found that there were many opportunities for part-time work in my neighbourhood. There were so many old people who needed help. So, in order to buy the album I wanted, I decided to find a part-time job to earn money. I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. Fortunately, she answered that she indeed needed help in her garden. That was a really hot summer day. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one. The task was tiring and boring, and I soon became really tired. However, thinking of the album I wanted, I gathered all my energy and kept moving. “If only I had a portable electric fan (便携式电风扇)!” I said to myself, wiping the sweat from my face. After several hours of hard work, I was paid ten dollars. It was less than I thought, but it was enough for the album. After getting that ten dollars, I couldn’t wait to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I believed it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. On the way to the supermarket, I was singing a song excitedly when I happened to see my mother who was working on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before; I just knew she was a saleswoman. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段开头语已为你写好. Paragraph 1: My mother was handing out leaflets (传单) to passers-by. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I continued making my way to the supermarket. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: My mother was handing out leaflets to passers-by. Under the burning sun, her T-shirt was damp with sweat. She would give a leaflet to everyone that passed by, with an eager smile on her face. Some people just walked right past her while some others would refuse by waving their hands. There were also some people who would accept the leaflet politely but throw it into a garbage can right away. Seeing that scene, I couldn’t help but feel bad. I never considered my mother’s work to be so hard. Paragraph 2: I continued making my way to the supermarket. However, when I found the album I had been longing for, my mother’s sweaty face came to my mind and I hesitated. I gave up buying the album and bought a portable electric fan instead. Then I returned to the place where my mother worked. She was obviously surprised to see me standing in front of her. When I took out the fan, telling her that it was for her, she was moved to tears and then broke into a happy smile. It was when I saw a big smile on her face that I understood the true value of money. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事情节的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者在十六岁的时候想买一张最喜欢的乐队的专辑，但是没有足够的钱去买，作者找了一份兼职，拿着自己挣来的钱去买专辑的路上看到了马路对面正在工作的妈妈的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我妈妈正在向过路的人分发传单。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到妈妈工作的辛苦场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“我继续向超市走去。”可知，第二段可描写作者去了超市后想到了什么，又作出如何的决定以及作者通过这件事的感悟。 2.续写线索：看见妈妈在发传单——路人收到传单的举动——到超市买专辑——买了一台风扇——送给妈妈——妈妈的感受——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①经过：passed by/go by ②返回：returned/go back ③拒绝：refuse politely/shake his head/decline 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/shocked/amazed/astonished ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B From the moment we wake up and check the messages on our smartphones, we’re exposed to text design. Throughout our day, storefronts and websites announce themselves through the typefaces (字体) they use. Adonian Chan, a 33-year-old Hong Kong graphic designer, calls the different texts a “visual landscape”. In his hometown, signs written in traditional Chinese characters can be found around every corner. One calligraphy style, above all, has come to represent Hong Kong: Beiwei Kaishu, which has its origins in 4th-century China. After World War Ⅱ, Beiwei Kaishu was used widely in Hong Kong signs, partly because it is highly recognizable, even from far distances. But with the appearance of LED signs and computer-generated typefaces, signs written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong. As a result, few designers working today are aware of the Beiwei Kaishu style. In 2016, Chan asked a master of calligraphy in Hong Kong to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style. He then started the process of digitizing the characters. He first wrote the characters on paper with a brush and ink. Next, he made a pencil sketch. Finally, he recreated the characters digitally, using a computer program called Glyphs. One of the main challenges when digitizing the ancient calligraphy is striking a balance between the artistic expression and the need of design, says Chan. He can complete two characters a day, depending on their complexity, and is aiming to digitize 6,000 characters. Chan says his project is more than preserving a centuries-old writing style and that he sees himself as building on the work of previous generations. He has named his typeface Beiwei Zansyu and hopes it will eventually be installed on phones and computers. 4. Why was Beiwei Kaishu popular in Hong Kong after World War Ⅱ? A. It had a long history. B. It could be seen clearly. C. It was a symbol of Hong Kong. D. It fitted in the “visual landscape”. 5. What leads to the disappearance of Beiwei Kaishu? A. Its pattern. B. Urban development. C. Its designers. D. New technologies. 6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Beiwei Zansyu will be available soon. B. Beiwei Zansyu looks great on the phone. C. Chan’s project is time-consuming. D. Preserving the ancient style is Chan’s only purpose. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Digitizing Tradition: Adonian Chan’s Journey with Beiwei Zansyu B. Hong Kong’s Visual Landscape: Beiwci Kaishu in Signs C. A Disappearing Typeface: Lost Art in Technology Era D. Calligraphy Crisis: Technology Saves Art C A new study suggests classic paintings by well-known Impressionists Joseph Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard and Sorbonne universities, analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901. Scientists don’t know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data. However, researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long-term environmental change with the air pollution. In particular, researchers said changes in local sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) emissions from burning coal may changes in the colour contrast and intensity of Turner, Monet, and others’ works, even after the artistic trends and subject matter of the time. Scientists successfully measured painters’ representation of nature, focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe. Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent. Generally, artists can historically accurately represent their environment, so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution, when air pollution grew at a rate never seen before. Additionally, researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted, the cities would appear hazier (模糊的) to the eyes as well as in photographs. By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era, they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions. 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to relevant historical records. B. By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet. C. By examining Impressionists’ works closely. D. By analyzing local weather patterns in Europe. 9. What did the researchers find in the works of Turner and Monet? A. Signs of air pollution. B. Change in subject matter. C. Social trends of the period. D. Development of photography. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. European artists preferred landscape paintings. B. Scientists focused on studying weather patterns. C. Artists always intended to present environment. D. Britain suffered from air pollution most in Europe. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Industrial Revolution causes severe air pollution. B. Air pollution makes itself a theme in Impressionist painting. C. Impressionists’ works identify air pollution in the past. D. Art mirrors the environment. D Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls. But it might be time to unlearn that training — this summer, a group of culture addicts, artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor’s Island. The project is called Writing On It All, and it’s a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor’s Island every summer since 2013. “Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons, or they just kind of happen to be there,” Alexandra Chasin, artistic director of Writing On It All, tells Smithsonian.com. The season this year runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile (流放). Governor’s Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as “New York’s shared space for art and play”, the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals, picnics, adventures, as well as these “legal graffiti (涂鸦)” sessions. The notes and art covering the walls are an experiment in self-expression. So far, participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her. “One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls,” says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. “People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages.” 12. Writing On It All was set up to __________.

I was dying to buy an album by my favourite band. However, the pocket money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I didn’t have any extra money to buy the album (音乐专辑), which made me disappointed. Luckily, I found that there were many opportunities for part-time work in my neighbourhood. There were so many old people who needed help. So, in order to buy the album I wanted, I decided to find a part-time job to earn money. I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. Fortunately, she answered that she indeed needed help in her garden. That was a really hot summer day. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one. The task was tiring and boring, and I soon became really tired. However, thinking of the album I wanted, I gathered all my energy and kept moving. “If only I had a portable electric fan (便携式电风扇)!” I said to myself, wiping the sweat from my face. After several hours of hard work, I was paid ten dollars. It was less than I thought, but it was enough for the album. After getting that ten dollars, I couldn’t wait to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I believed it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. On the way to the supermarket, I was singing a song excitedly when I happened to see my mother who was working on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before; I just knew she was a saleswoman. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段开头语已为你写好.
