B Gabby Douglas was just 16 when she caught the world’s attention at the Olympics where she won gold in the all-around event. From her early days on the gym floor to her life after finding Olympic fame, the change of Gabby Douglas has been quite the stunning one indeed. Gabby Douglas’ talent for gymnastics was apparent from a young age. At the tender age of three, the younger Douglas was turning cartwheels. Just two years after beginning her formal gymnastics training. Douglas won Virginia’s state gymnastics championship. She gained more wins over the years, and it was soon evident that she wasn’t just a talented gymnast, but a possible Olympic competitor. At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. She’d already been homeschooled for years to focus on her training, and she set her sights on training with Liang Chow, a coach who has worked with Shawn Johnson. But Chow’s gym was in West Des Moines, Iowa — not exactly within commuting distance of her home in Virginia. Moving halfway across the country was not easy for the young Gabby Douglas. She felt seriously out of place as one of few black people there. Douglas also felt much anxiety about chasing her Olympic dream. It would be years before Douglas opened up about the fears she faced on her road to the Olympics. She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.” Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. She said, “It was unbelievable that I had spent my whole life dreaming about this one specific goal and achieved it.” 4. What made Douglas decide to have a change at 14? A. Her Olympic dream. B. Her talent for gymnastics. C. Her desire to train with Liang Chow. D. Her tiredness of being homeschooled. 5. Why was Douglas anxious when chasing her dream? A. She thought she was not talented enough. B. She had to compete with Shawn Johnson. C. She didn’t like the training methods in Iowa. D. She was uncertain about how to get to the Olympics. 6. What words can be used to best describe Douglas? A. Talented but crazy. B. Fearless but bad-tempered. C. Optimistic and determined. D. Pessimistic and independent. 7. What can we learn from Douglas’s story? A. Care and diligence bring happiness. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C “Greetings from the Family”, a song by Robert Keen, tells the tale of a festive get-together. Many listeners will recognize the chaos (混乱) the singer describes; even more than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle to recall how he is related to the various guests. “Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen,” Mr. Keen sings, “Can’t remember how I’m a relative of theirs.” That may have something to do with the English language. It is often joked that anyone around your age is a “cousin” and anyone older is an “uncle” or “aunt”. English is rather bare in its terms for family members. Other languages pay far more attention to the details. Take “brother” and “sister” for instance. Societies that value age-order highly often have different terms for older brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese or ani, ane, ototo, imoto in Japanese. Chinese even requires the speakers to remember whether a relative is older or younger than they are, whether relatives of their parents are older or younger than they, and so on. There are many armchair theories about the relationship between language and culture that do not hold up to careful examination. The East Asian languages’ focus on seniority (年长), however, is actually related to the importance Confucianism places on the virtue of respecting your elders. Actually, all languages permit you to describe relationships in any amount of detail your listener would like. The focus that some cultures put on labelling every possible relation with a distinct term does not mean that cultures lacking those terms do not pay attention to family networks. Every English-speaking family seems to have at least one member who can sort out the complicated relations and tell you that Henry Ford was a great-great-great uncle. But each family also has members who couldn’t care less, waving a hand and saying “uncle” or “cousin”. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By criticizing a forgetful guest. B. By praising a recognized singer. C. By illustrating a shared experience. D. By describing a chaotic picture. 9. Why does the author mention the examples of Chinese and Japanese? A. To indicate their respect for the elders. B. To make a contrast with English language. C. To illustrate the influence of Confucianism. D. To give an analysis of East Asian languages. 10. What does “armchair theories” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Baseless assumptions. B. Detailed descriptions. C. Contradictory thoughts. D. Convincing explanations. 11. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Labelling every relation is no easy. B. English speakers value family networks as well. C. Some people enjoy sorting out complicated relations. D. General terms for relatives indicate weaker family bond. D Robots that can cook are in growing demand in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to improve efficiency and reduce wait times during peak hours. In a few weeks, White Castle restaurants will test a robot arm that can cook French fries and other foods. The robot, called Flippy, is a product of Mis o Robotics, a company based in Pasadena, California. Robot food service was becoming popular even before the concept of peak dining hours. Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. Robot chefs appeared at places like Creator, a restaurant in San Francisco. Now, some say, robots may become necessary for the food service industry. “I expect in the next two years you will see much more robotic adoption (采纳) in the food space because of the need for efficiency,” Jain said. Some people say, robots can lower the demand for labor. At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, cafe workers used to spend six hours per day making salads, notes Tonya Johnson, the school’s director of nutrition services. But two years ago, the university added a Sally, a kind of robot that now makes around 40 salads per day. By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said. “I think the need for efficiency has made us realize how much we need more equipment like Sally,” Johnson said. Miso Robotics co- founder and chief Buck Jordan said fast food restaurants are already having trouble finding workers, partly as a result of a losing population of young workers. Jordan added that his company’s position is that “automation (自动化) is not a choice”. He added, “You must automate in order to survive in the future.” 12. Why is robot food service becoming popular? A. It can take the place of human beings in the future. B. It can shorten the distance between workers and customers. C. It can meet the demand for food and reduce the cost of labor. D. It can make different kinds of delicious food in a very short time. 13. What does Johnson say about Sally? A. It makes as many salads as workers. B. It is just a common robot like others. C. It is useless to improve the speed of work. D. It helps the school employ fewer workers. 14. What’s Jordan’s attitude to automation? A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The popularity of robots in the food space. B. The debate about using robots in restaurants. C. More demand for robot cooks in US restaurants. D. The difficulties in finding enough labor workers. 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。 Everglades National Park is located in the state of Florida.

It was her first field trip as a student of her new school. When her parents sold their farm and moved to town, Amy had been enthusiastic. But at her new school, she felt extremely shy around so many strangers. Worse still, she missed all her animals on the farm. With a sigh, Amy returned to the present. The bus stopped, and Amy climbed off with the rest of her classmates. “Welcome to the Nature Center,” her teacher, Mrs Brown, announced. “Shortly, a guide will give us a presentation about the area’s native animals and habitat. Afterwards, you’ll be given a worksheet to complete while you explore the rest of the center. Now, everyone, find a partner.” Amy looked worried. She didn’t have any friends yet… She hesitated for a moment and then approached Janet, an outgoing and confident girl who sat near her in class. “Could I be your partner?” Amy asked carefully. “Sure,” said Janet warmly. “I’ll get the worksheet.” After listening to the presentation, the girls examined their worksheets. “It says we must help feed the baby squirrels (松鼠). How big is a baby squirrel? Can we hold one?” said Janet excitedly, not waiting to hear Amy’s response. When Amy and Janet walked into the squirrel area, they were greeted by an enthusiastic voice. “Hi. I’m John Smith, the keeper here. Did you come to see the squirrels?” “Yes, ” said Amy with an eager smile on her face. “Do we actually get to feed the babies?” “Sure, ” John answered and then showed the girls how to wrap a baby squirrel in a towel and hold the bottle of warm milk. Amy settled back into a chair, enjoying the warmth of the tiny animal in her hand. She flashed a smile over at Janet, who was suddenly silent and focusing on her own baby squirrel. As a city- girl completely inexperienced in the handling of animals, Janet was feeling nervous. Then John asked, “Would you like to feed the adult squirrels?” Amy volunteered immediately. 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。 When John opened the cage, the squirrel inside suddenly jumped out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back that afternoon, Janet sat next to Amy, looking at her admiringly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 上海新纪元教育集团高二年级期中考试英语试卷 本试卷共8页，考试结束后，将答题卡交回 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码和座位号填写清楚。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂;非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效;在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4. 保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

From her early days on the gym floor to her life after finding Olympic fame, the change of Gabby Douglas has been quite the stunning one indeed. Gabby Douglas’ talent for gymnastics was apparent from a young age. At the tender age of three, the younger Douglas was turning cartwheels. Just two years after beginning her formal gymnastics training. Douglas won Virginia’s state gymnastics championship. She gained more wins over the years, and it was soon evident that she wasn’t just a talented gymnast, but a possible Olympic competitor. At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. She’d already been homeschooled for years to focus on her training, and she set her sights on training with Liang Chow, a coach who has worked with Shawn Johnson. But Chow’s gym was in West Des Moines, Iowa — not exactly within commuting distance of her home in Virginia. Moving halfway across the country was not easy for the young Gabby Douglas. She felt seriously out of place as one of few black people there. Douglas also felt much anxiety about chasing her Olympic dream. It would be years before Douglas opened up about the fears she faced on her road to the Olympics. She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.” Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. She said, “It was unbelievable that I had spent my whole life dreaming about this one specific goal and achieved it.” 4. What made Douglas decide to have a change at 14? A. Her Olympic dream. B. Her talent for gymnastics. C. Her desire to train with Liang Chow. D. Her tiredness of being homeschooled. 5. Why was Douglas anxious when chasing her dream? A. She thought she was not talented enough. B. She had to compete with Shawn Johnson. C. She didn’t like the training methods in Iowa. D. She was uncertain about how to get to the Olympics. 6. What words can be used to best describe Douglas? A. Talented but crazy. B. Fearless but bad-tempered. C. Optimistic and determined. D. Pessimistic and independent. 7. What can we learn from Douglas’s story? A. Care and diligence bring happiness. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是年仅16岁的Gabby Douglas在奥运会上赢得了全能项目的金牌，并引起了全世界的关注。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. (14岁的Gabby Douglas知道，要想参加奥运会，她需要做出改变)”可知，要想参加奥运会，Gabby Douglas需要做出改变。由此可知，是她的奥运梦想让Douglas在14岁时决定改变。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.” (她曾经说过：“当我开始这段旅程时，我从来不知道要参加奥运会需要付出什么代价。我有很多自我怀疑。你必须相信自己足够好，不要放弃。”)”可知，Douglas在追逐自己梦想的时候感到焦虑的原因是她不确定自己如何才能参加奥运会。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up. (我有很多自我怀疑。你必须相信自己足够好，不要放弃)”可知，在Douglas自己有些怀疑自己的时候，相信自己足够好，不放弃，由此可知，她是一个乐观的人，结合最后一段中的“Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. ( Douglas最终下定决心坚持自己的梦想，无论路途多么艰难)”可知，最终Douglas不畏艰难，下定决心坚持自己的梦想。由此可知，Douglas是一个坚定的人，综合以上信息可知，Douglas是一个既乐观又坚定的人。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. (14岁的Gabby Douglas知道，要想参加奥运会，她需要做出改变)”和倒数第二段中的“She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.” (她曾经说过：“当我开始这段旅程时，我从来不知道要参加奥运会需要付出什么代价。我有很多自我怀疑。你必须相信自己足够好，不要放弃。”)”可知，14岁的Gabby Douglas为了参加奥运会做出很多的改变，在实现她的奥运梦想时她甚至有过自我怀疑，但她相信自己足够好，仍旧没有放弃，结合最后一段中的“Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. (道格拉斯最终下定决心坚守梦想，无论前路多么艰难。她不仅助力团队斩获金牌，还拿下个人全能项目金牌— —成为首位获此成就的黑人女性)”可知，最终道格拉斯下定决心坚持自己的梦想，并且成为第一位获得个人全能项目金牌的黑人女性，综合以上信息可知，从道格拉斯的故事中学到的是“有志者事竟成”的道理。故选D项。 C “Greetings from the Family”, a song by Robert Keen, tells the tale of a festive get-together. Many listeners will recognize the chaos (混乱) the singer describes; even more than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle to recall how he is related to the various guests. “Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen,” Mr. Keen sings, “Can’t remember how I’m a relative of theirs.” That may have something to do with the English language. It is often joked that anyone around your age is a “cousin” and anyone older is an “uncle” or “aunt”. English is rather bare in its terms for family members. Other languages pay far more attention to the details. Take “brother” and “sister” for instance. Societies that value age-order highly often have different terms for older brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese or ani, ane, ototo, imoto in Japanese. Chinese even requires the speakers to remember whether a relative is older or younger than they are, whether relatives of their parents are older or younger than they, and so on. There are many armchair theories about the relationship between language and culture that do not hold up to careful examination. The East Asian languages’ focus on seniority (年长), however, is actually related to the importance Confucianism places on the virtue of respecting your elders. Actually, all languages permit you to describe relationships in any amount of detail your listener would like. The focus that some cultures put on labelling every possible relation with a distinct term does not mean that cultures lacking those terms do not pay attention to family networks. Every English-speaking family seems to have at least one member who can sort out the complicated relations and tell you that Henry Ford was a great-great-great uncle. But each family also has members who couldn’t care less, waving a hand and saying “uncle” or “cousin”. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By criticizing a forgetful guest. B. By praising a recognized singer. C. By illustrating a shared experience. D. By describing a chaotic picture. 9. Why does the author mention the examples of Chinese and Japanese? A. To indicate their respect for the elders. B. To make a contrast with English language. C. To illustrate the influence of Confucianism. D. To give an analysis of East Asian languages. 10. What does “armchair theories” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Baseless assumptions. B. Detailed descriptions. C. Contradictory thoughts. D. Convincing explanations. 11. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Labelling every relation is no easy. B. English speakers value family networks as well. C. Some people enjoy sorting out complicated relations. D. General terms for relatives indicate weaker family bond. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在不同的语言中的亲属称呼。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Greetings from the Family”, a song by Robert Keen, tells the tale of a festive get-together. Many listeners will recognize the chaos (混乱) the singer describes; even more than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle to recall how he is related to the various guests. “Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen,” Mr. Keen sings, “Can’t remember how I’m a relative of theirs.” (罗伯特·基恩的歌曲《来自家庭的问候》讲述了一个节日聚会的故事。许多听众会认出歌手描述的混乱；更重要的是，他们肯定会认同他努力回忆自己与各种客人的关系。“弗雷德和丽塔从哈林根开车过来，”基恩唱道，“我不记得我是他们的亲戚。”)”以及第二段“That may have something to do with the English language. It is often joked that anyone around your age is a “cousin” and anyone older is an “uncle” or “aunt”. (这可能与英语语言有关。人们经常开玩笑说，和你年龄相仿的人是“表亲”，比你大的人是“叔叔”或“阿姨”。)”可知，这是英语语言中经常用的称呼，所以推断作者举例说明一个共同的经历来引出本文的话题语言中的称呼，故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“English is rather bare in its terms for family members. Other languages pay far more attention to the details. (英语对家庭成员来说是相当贫乏的。其他语言更注重细节。)”和第三段“Take “brother” and “sister” for instance. Societies that value age-order highly often have different terms for older brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese or ani, ane, ototo, imoto in Japanese. (以“兄弟”和“姐妹”为例。高度重视年龄秩序的社会通常对哥哥、姐姐、弟弟和妹妹有不同的称呼。中文分别是“哥”、“姐”、“弟”、“没”，日语是“ani”、“ane”、“ototo”、“imoto”。)”可知，作者提到了中国人和日本人的例子是为了和英语作对比，故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Chinese even requires the speakers to remember whether a relative is older or younger than they are, whether relatives of their parents are older or younger than they, and so on. There are many armchair theories about the relationship between language and culture that do not hold up to careful examination. (汉语甚至要求说话者记住亲戚比自己大还是小，父母的亲戚比自己大还是小，等等。关于语言和文化之间的关系，有许多纸上谈兵的理论是经不起仔细检验的。)”可知，这些描述是经不起仔细检验的，故猜测这里的“armchair theories”是一些没有根据的假设，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The focus that some cultures put on labelling every possible relation with a distinct term does not mean that cultures lacking those terms do not pay attention to family networks. Every English-speaking family seems to have at least one member who can sort out the complicated relations and tell you that Henry Ford was a great- great- great uncle. (有些文化把重点放在用一个独特的术语标记每一种可能的关系上，但这并不意味着缺乏这些术语的文化不重视家庭网络。每一个说英语的家庭似乎都至少有一个成员能够理清复杂的关系，并告诉你亨利·福特是一位曾曾曾叔叔。)”可知，说英语的家庭也能理清复杂的关系，也就是作者想告诉我们说英语的人也重视家庭网络。故选B。 D Robots that can cook are in growing demand in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to improve efficiency and reduce wait times during peak hours. In a few weeks, White Castle restaurants will test a robot arm that can cook French fries and other foods. The robot, called Flippy, is a product of Mis o Robotics, a company based in Pasadena, California. Robot food service was becoming popular even before the concept of peak dining hours. Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. Robot chefs appeared at places like Creator, a restaurant in San Francisco. Now, some say, robots may become necessary for the food service industry. “I expect in the next two years you will see much more robotic adoption (采纳) in the food space because of the need for efficiency,” Jain said. Some people say, robots can lower the demand for labor. At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, cafe workers used to spend six hours per day making salads, notes Tonya Johnson, the school’s director of nutrition services. But two years ago, the university added a Sally, a kind of robot that now makes around 40 salads per day. By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said. “I think the need for efficiency has made us realize how much we need more equipment like Sally,” Johnson said. Miso Robotics co- founder and chief Buck Jordan said fast food restaurants are already having trouble finding workers, partly as a result of a losing population of young workers. Jordan added that his company’s position is that “automation (自动化) is not a choice”. He added, “You must automate in order to survive in the future.” 12. Why is robot food service becoming popular? A. It can take the place of human beings in the future. B. It can shorten the distance between workers and customers. C. It can meet the demand for food and reduce the cost of labor. D. It can make different kinds of delicious food in a very short time. 13. What does Johnson say about Sally? A. It makes as many salads as workers. B. It is just a common robot like others. C. It is useless to improve the speed of work. D. It helps the school employ fewer workers. 14. What’s Jordan’s attitude to automation? A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The popularity of robots in the food space. B. The debate about using robots in restaurants. C. More demand for robot cooks in US restaurants. D. The difficulties in finding enough labor workers. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人在餐饮业的应用、优势及其背后的原因，和人们对这一趋势的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Robot food service was becoming popular even before the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒). Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low.(甚至在冠状病毒大流行之前，机器人食物服务就已经很流行了。医院，大学食堂和其他地方在试图满足食物需求，同时保持低劳动力成本。)”可知，机器人可以满足对食物的需求并且降低劳动力成本。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said.(约翰逊说，通过增加莎莉，学校能够裁掉一个烹饪人员的职位。)”可知，Johnson的话中提到Sally这个机器人相当于一个员工，可以减少雇佣一个员工，即通过使用机器人，学校可以雇更少的员工。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Jordan added that his company’s position is that “automation(自动化) is not a choice”. He added, “You must automate in order to survive in the future.”(乔丹补充说：“他的公司的立场是“自动化不是一种选择”。他还说：“为了在未来生存，你必须自动化。”)”可知他认为自动化是必定的趋势，因此他对此是支持的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的第一句话“Robots that can cook are in growing demand(需求)in the United States.(能做饭的机器人在美国的需求量越来越大。)”以及全文对于美国机器人厨师的介绍可知，本文主要讲述了美国餐馆对机器人厨师的需求越来越大。故选C。 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。 Everglades National Park is located in the state of Florida.

When her parents sold their farm and moved to town, Amy had been enthusiastic. But at her new school, she felt extremely shy around so many strangers. Worse still, she missed all her animals on the farm. With a sigh, Amy returned to the present. The bus stopped, and Amy climbed off with the rest of her classmates. “Welcome to the Nature Center,” her teacher, Mrs Brown, announced. “Shortly, a guide will give us a presentation about the area’s native animals and habitat. Afterwards, you’ll be given a worksheet to complete while you explore the rest of the center. Now, everyone, find a partner.” Amy looked worried. She didn’t have any friends yet… She hesitated for a moment and then approached Janet, an outgoing and confident girl who sat near her in class. “Could I be your partner?” Amy asked carefully. “Sure,” said Janet warmly. “I’ll get the worksheet.” After listening to the presentation, the girls examined their worksheets. “It says we must help feed the baby squirrels (松鼠). How big is a baby squirrel? Can we hold one?” said Janet excitedly, not waiting to hear Amy’s response. When Amy and Janet walked into the squirrel area, they were greeted by an enthusiastic voice. “Hi. I’m John Smith, the keeper here. Did you come to see the squirrels?” “Yes, ” said Amy with an eager smile on her face. “Do we actually get to feed the babies?” “Sure, ” John answered and then showed the girls how to wrap a baby squirrel in a towel and hold the bottle of warm milk. Amy settled back into a chair, enjoying the warmth of the tiny animal in her hand. She flashed a smile over at Janet, who was suddenly silent and focusing on her own baby squirrel. As a city- girl completely inexperienced in the handling of animals, Janet was feeling nervous. Then John asked, “Would you like to feed the adult squirrels?” Amy volunteered immediately. 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。 When John opened the cage, the squirrel inside suddenly jumped out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back that afternoon, Janet sat next to Amy, looking at her admiringly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When John opened the cage, the squirrel inside suddenly jumped out. Amy remained calm, held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it. “Wow!” Janet said. “You' re always so quiet. I thought you were afraid of everything, but you are brave.” “I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm. The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Amy, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?”  “Interested?”“I would love to work here!What an opportunity!”Amy was excited. On the way back that afternoon, Janet sat next to Amy, looking at her admiringly. A rush of newfound happiness washed over her.
