If they’re the lucky red, all the better. You can never have too much luck. But when you turn a multiple of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and so on — the tradition gets extended: Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year. When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. Adding another superstition (迷信) also seemed like a thing I could do without. But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Dragon,” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals: puberty at age 12, moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36. The more I’ve looked into the practice, the more I realize the significance of its popularity. As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture. So often, life goes by so quickly before we could realize. Days become weeks, months, years and suddenly a dozen years go by. My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through. It’s a mindset we could all benefit from. 4. What is the tradition on Lunar New Year? A. Wearing lucky red clothes all year round. B. Putting on new clothes from head to toe. C. Never having too many lucky clothes. D. Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12. 5. Why did the author mention her parents? A. To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes. B To honor her practical immigrant parents. C. To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down. D. To justify her not following the extended tradition. 6 What finally changed the author’s attitude to the practice? A. Her approaching the age of 48. B. Its connection with her culture. C. Her illogical thinking patterns. D. Its popularity among immigrants. 7. What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel? A. Reflect on her way through. B. Develop a new beneficial mindset. C. Buy underwear in the vivid red. D. Realize time going by quickly. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者通过自己的体会和感触介绍了穿红色在中国农历新年和本命年的意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“By tradition, on Lunar New Year, you’re supposed to put on new clothes, from inner to outer ones. (按照传统，在农历新年，你应该穿上新衣服，从内到外。)”可知，农历新年的传统是从头到脚穿上新衣服。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. (几年前，当我第一次听说这种做法时，我认为这是无稽之谈。买这么多颜色鲜艳的浅色衣服似乎也很可笑。我务实的中国移民父母是一名工程师和科学家，他们没有把这一传统传下来。)”可知，作者提到她的父母是为她不遵循传统辩解。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.( 作为一个在美国出生的中国人，我一直采用和适应来自我出生地的东西。从逻辑上讲，我知道我是否穿红色并不重要，但对我来说，就目前而言，这种共同的传统加强了我与我的文化的联系。)”可知，最终改变了作者对习俗的态度是因为这个习俗与她的文化有关。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture. (从逻辑上讲，我知道我是否穿红色并不重要，但对我来说，就目前而言，这种共同的传统加强了我与我的文化的联系。)”以及最后一段“My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.( 我的新生儿已经长成了十一二岁的孩子，我已经从不到中年变成了现在的中年。随着农历新年的到来，我很珍惜有机会反思我过去的挣扎，以及我是如何找到出路的。)”可知，由文章最后两段可知作者对于本命年穿红色内衣的态度改变了，开始接纳这一传统。因此在她即将到达第四个本命年的时候，她可能会买红色内衣来穿。故选C。 C Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what “PK” meant. “My family has been watching the “Singer 2024” singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father. To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other. In the case of the “Singer 2024” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking. For example, in the final, there is Na Ying with Tan Weiwei, only one of whom has the prize for championship. Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons (行话) which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand. “My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM',” went one composition. “GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's. Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao! 8. By writing the article, the writer tries to ________. A. explain some Internet language B. suggest common Internet language C. laugh at the Beijing father D. draw our attention to Internet language 9. What does the writer think about the term “PK”? A. Fathers can't possibly know it. B. The daughter should understand it. C. Online game players may know it. D. “Singer 2024” shouldn't have used it. 10. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________. A. are used not only online B. can be understood very well C. are welcomed by all the people D. cause trouble to our mother tongue 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A puzzled father B. Do you speak Internet-ish? C. Keep away from Internet-ish D. Kong Long or Qing Wa? 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。网络语言已经逐渐渗透到我们日常的生活中来了，例如常见的“PK”、“GG”等 。然而网络术语的普遍应用又不能让所有人都完全适应，人们对此看法不一。不管怎样，这也代表了一种新的潮流。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读全文，网络语言已经逐渐渗透到我们日常的生活中来了，例如常见的“PK”、“GG”等 。然而网络术语的普遍应用又不能让所有人都完全适应，人们对此看法不一。不管怎样，这也代表了一种新的潮流。因此作者写文章的目的是把人们的注意力引到网络语言上来。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term.( 对于很多一直在玩网络游戏的中国年轻人来说，不可能不知道这个词。)”可知，对于很多玩网上游戏的中国青年，不可能不认识这个术语。因此作者认为网游玩家应该懂得PK的意思。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons (行话) which are difficult to understand.( 和这位父亲一样，中国的高中老师也发现学生的作文中使用了难以理解的网络术语。)”可知，北京爸爸和天津老师都是不太能理解网络语言的例子。在学生作文中有很多网络行话，会对中文的表达有影响。因此他们的例子是为了说明网络语言已经不仅仅局限于在网络使用了。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!( 如果你甚至不知道什么是金刚龙（恐龙，指的是长相丑陋的雌性）或青蛙（蛙，指的是长相丑陋的雄性），你可能会被认为是菜鸟！)”可知，文章围绕“网络语言在生活中的出现”来展开并列举了多个例子，通过询问读者，你运用网络用语吗？来展示对全文的描述。因此文章最佳标题是“你讲网络语言吗？”切题。故选B。 D It’s almost hard to reconstruct how different music was before the phonograph (圆筒形留声机). Back in the mid-1800s, if you wanted to hear a song, you had only one option: live. You listened while someone played it, or else you played it yourself. That changed in 1877 when Thomas Edison introduced his phonograph. Edison envisioned its wider uses, including for business. In 1878 he made a prediction, “The phonograph will undoubtedly be devoted to music. ” He was right. Within a few years, entrepreneurs began putting phonograph recordings into “coin-in-slot” machines on city streets, where passersby could listen to several minutes of audio: jokes, monologues, songs. They were an instant hit; one machine in Missouri earned $100 in a week. As more phonographs were sold through the 1890s, the demand for recordings increased, but no reliable duplication (复制) process could meet such a large amount of demand. To solve this problem, Edison launched the improved wax cylinders (蜡筒) in 1902. Despite this, the phonograph would soon go down to the gramophone, whose discs could easily be multiplied. The phonograph was the beginning of “on demand” listening:“ The music you want, whenever you want it,” as one phonograph ad boasted. A curious new behavior emerged: listening to music alone. Previously, music was most often highly social, with a family gathering together around a piano. But now you could immerse yourself all alone. Since then, a new era has begun, and the recording industry never looked back. The phonograph greatly changed the world of technology during the Industrial Revolution, which sparked a wave of innovation and inspired inventors to explore new possibilities in audio recording and reproduction. 12. Which of the following best describes the way people experienced music before 1877? A. Simple. B. Limited. C. Costly. D. Special. 13. What do the underlined words “go down to” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Take in. B. Compete with. C. Be replaced by. D. Be spread to. 14. What does the author think of the birth of the phonograph? A. It affected the nature of performing. B. It boosted city’s infrastructure construction. C. It changed how people listen. D. It transformed the way of social interaction 15. What might the author continue talking about? A. The innovation of the Industrial Revolution B. The development of live music performances. C. The significant improvement of phonographs D. The impact of phonographs on recording technology. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了留声机的发明和影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Back in the mid-1800s, if you wanted to hear a song, you had only one option: live. (回到19世纪中期，如果你想听一首歌，你只有一个选择：现场演奏。)”可知，1877年之前，人们体验音乐的方式是有限的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“whose discs could easily be multiplied. (它的光盘很容易被复制。)”可知，圆筒形留声机很快会被一种光盘可以被轻松地进行复制的留声机取代。故划线词的意思是“被取代”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The phonograph was the beginning of “on demand” listening:“ The music you want, whenever you want it,” as one phonograph ad boasted. A curious new behavior emerged: listening to music alone. Previously, music was most often highly social, with a family gathering together around a piano. But now you could immerse yourself all alone. (留声机是“点播”聆听的开端：“你想要的音乐，随时随地，”一个留声机广告吹嘘道。一种奇怪的新行为出现了：独自听音乐。以前，音乐通常是高度社会化的，一个家庭围坐在钢琴旁。但现在你可以独自沉浸其中了。)”可知，留声机的诞生改变了人们倾听的方式。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The phonograph greatly changed the world of technology during the Industrial Revolution, which sparked a wave of innovation and inspired inventors to explore new possibilities in audio recording and reproduction. (留声机在工业革命期间极大地改变了技术世界，引发了一波创新浪潮，并激励发明家探索录音和复制的新可能性。)”可知，作者接下来要讨论留声机对录音技术的影响。故选D项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 No matter where you go, you’ll notice something strange about trees—the fact that their bottoms are painted white. Generally speaking, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect trees from heat and insects. ____16____. Let’s check them out! Blocking the sun You might sometimes notice that some tree trunks’ surfaces get dry and crack easily. ____17____. Simply put, they are exposed to the burning sun and the temperatures change wildly between day and night. Fortunately, painting a tree’s trunk white is similar to adding sunscreen, which helps block the sun. Heat protection ____18____.White paint reflects the heat and allows trees to spend more time on transpiration (蒸腾) and growing their fruits. Additionally, when trees are cooler, they have less stress, which makes their stomata (气孔) stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases. Defending against pests More often than not, a tree’s surface will crack, allowing insects to creep inside. ____19____. Therefore, people whitewash trees using latex paint and water, which prevents insects from climbing up trees and entering inside through the cracks. ____20____ Last but not least, the surface of trees is painted white to make them more visible, specifically for those on the side of the road. Why is that important? Because accidents involving trees are extremely common, especially during the night, when drivers can not see them much more clearly. A. Stopping accidents B. Improving visibility C. Whitewashing is a good way to solve the problem D. The cause of this phenomenon has already been found E. Whitewashing helps young trees remain cool in spring F. However, there’re many other reasons for whitewashing trees G. Bacteria will feed on the tree’s inner parts, eventually killing it 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了树木粉刷成白色的原因。 【16题详解】 根据上文“No matter where you go, you’ll notice something strange about trees—the fact that their bottoms are painted white. Generally speaking, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect trees from heat and insects.(无论你走到哪里，你都会注意到树的一些奇怪之处——它们的底部都被漆成了白色。一般来说，刷白的目的是保护树木免受高温和昆虫的侵害)”以及后文“Let’s check them out!(让我们来看看吧！)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出粉刷树木还有其它原因。故F选项“然而，粉刷树木还有很多其他原因”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“You might sometimes notice that some tree trunks’ surfaces get dry and crack easily.(有时你可能会注意到一些树干的表面很干燥，很容易开裂)”以及后文“Simply put, they are exposed to the burning sun and the temperatures change wildly between day and night. Fortunately, painting a tree’s trunk white is similar to adding sunscreen, which helps block the sun.(简单地说，它们暴露在烈日下，昼夜之间的温度变化很大。幸运的是，把树干涂成白色就像涂防晒霜一样，有助于阻挡阳光)”可知，后文主要分析了树干开裂的原因。故D选项“这种现象的原因已经找到了”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文“White paint reflects the heat and allows trees to spend more time on transpiration (蒸腾) and growing their fruits. Additionally, when trees are cooler, they have less stress, which makes their stomata (气孔) stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases.(白色的油漆可以反射热量，让树木有更多的时间蒸腾和生长果实。此外，当树木温度较低时，它们的压力较小，这使得它们的气孔保持开放的时间更长，以便进行气体交换)”可知，后文提到白色的油漆可以反射热量，让树木有更多的时间蒸腾和生长果实，即可以让树木保持凉爽。故E选项“刷白可以帮助小树在春天保持凉爽”符合语境，故选E。 19题详解】 根据上文“More often than not, a tree’s surface will crack, allowing insects to creep inside.(通常情况下，树的表面会裂开，让昆虫爬进去)”以及后文“Therefore, people whitewash trees using latex paint and water, which prevents insects from climbing up trees and entering inside through the cracks.(因此，人们用乳胶漆和水粉刷树木，防止昆虫爬上树，从裂缝进入内部)”可知，本句是在说明昆虫爬进去的后果：细菌会以树的内部为食，最终杀死树。故G选项“细菌会以树的内部为食，最终杀死树”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据本段内容“Last but not least, the surface of trees is painted white to make them more visible, specifically for those on the side of the road. Why is that important? Because accidents involving trees are extremely common, especially during the night, when drivers can not see them much more clearly.(最后但并非最不重要的是，树的表面被涂成白色，使它们更明显，特别是对那些在路边的人来说。为什么这很重要？因为涉及树木的交通事故非常常见，尤其是在夜间，因为司机看不清树木)”可知，本段的主旨是树木粉刷成白色可以提高司机的能见度。故B选项“提高能见度”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题，每小题1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 News came that Zou Jiaqi and Qiu Xiuping ___21___ the first gold of the Hangzhou Asian Games on Sunday.

And as I couldn’t stand to just throw the left plants, I decided to hold a plant sale by the side of the road. I had 30 small tomato plants for a start as well as other young vegetable plants. Within a few hours, I had gotten back the cost of growing the vegetables, and I could tell that passers- by were enjoying the cheap plants, so I went to look for more plants from the ones I hadn’t yet planted. In this way, the plants I sold increased a lot. Honestly, I could have sold twice as many, maybe the next year. The most exciting thing happened on the first day when I was in the kitchen writing up the price list and noticed a car back into our driveway. I went out to find a young lady on her way to work and of course we began to talk. She told me that she worked at a centre for homeless children. Although they had a garden, it was filled with a lot of wild grass. She wanted to grow some plants to light it up. Besides, she wanted to grow green vegetables for her children to improve their living conditions. Her kindness moved me. I told her it was a great idea. I advised her on how to prepare the soil, how to choose the types of vegetables, how to water them, and how to care for them. I also suggested that she ask the children to help her grow vegetables. She thanked me and said that my advice was very useful to her, which increased her confidence in growing vegetables well. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At the same time, I decided to try my best to make her wish come true. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About six months later, that woman invited me to her center.______________________________________________________________ 【答案】At the same time, I decided to try my best to make her wish come true.

Half an hour later, when the lady was ready to leave, I prepared some fertilizer that she could use to plant the plants and gave it to her. The lady left with all the plants and fertilizer. About six months later, that woman invited me to her center. She led me to her garden where I saw many types vegetables that grew well. With all the vegetables, the garden that used to be filled with a lot of wild grass lighted up. Then she told me how she planted them and watered them. Obviously she had become a good gardener. She told me that when the vegetables were harvested the homeless children would have more fresh vegetables to eat. Hearing this, I felt very proud of her. She also told me that the children in the center learned a lot by helping grow and care for the vegetables in the garden.

If they’re the lucky red, all the better. You can never have too much luck. But when you turn a multiple of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and so on — the tradition gets extended: Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year. When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. Adding another superstition (迷信) also seemed like a thing I could do without. But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Dragon,” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals: puberty at age 12, moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36. The more I’ve looked into the practice, the more I realize the significance of its popularity. As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture. So often, life goes by so quickly before we could realize. Days become weeks, months, years and suddenly a dozen years go by. My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through. It’s a mindset we could all benefit from. 4. What is the tradition on Lunar New Year? A. Wearing lucky red clothes all year round. B. Putting on new clothes from head to toe. C. Never having too many lucky clothes. D. Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12. 5. Why did the author mention her parents? A. To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes. B. To honor her practical immigrant parents. C. To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down. D. To justify her not following the extended tradition. 6. What finally changed the author’s attitude to the practice? A. Her approaching the age of 48. B. Its connection with her culture. C. Her illogical thinking patterns. D. Its popularity among immigrants. 7. What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel? A. Reflect on her way through. B. Develop a new beneficial mindset. C. Buy underwear in the vivid red. D. Realize time going by quickly. C Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what “PK” meant. “My family has been watching the “Singer 2024” singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father. To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other. In the case of the “Singer 2024” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking. For example, in the final, there is Na Ying with Tan Weiwei, only one of whom has the prize for championship. Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons (行话) which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand. “My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM',” went one composition. “GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's. Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao! 8. By writing the article, the writer tries to ________. A. explain some Internet language B. suggest common Internet language C. laugh at the Beijing father D. draw our attention to Internet language 9. What does the writer think about the term “PK”? A. Fathers can't possibly know it. B. The daughter should understand it. C. Online game players may know it. D. “Singer 2024” shouldn't have used it. 10. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________. A. are used not only online B. can be understood very well C. are welcomed by all the people D. cause trouble to our mother tongue 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A puzzled father B. Do you speak Internet-ish? C. Keep away from Internet-ish D. Kong Long or Qing Wa? D It’s almost hard to reconstruct how different music was before the phonograph (圆筒形留声机). Back in the mid-1800s, if you wanted to hear a song, you had only one option: live. You listened while someone played it, or else you played it yourself. That changed in 1877 when Thomas Edison introduced his phonograph. Edison envisioned its wider uses, including for business. In 1878 he made a prediction, “The phonograph will undoubtedly be devoted to music. ” He was right. Within a few years, entrepreneurs began putting phonograph recordings into “coin-in-slot” machines on city streets, where passersby could listen to several minutes of audio: jokes, monologues, songs. They were an instant hit; one machine in Missouri earned $100 in a week. As more phonographs were sold through the 1890s, the demand for recordings increased, but no reliable duplication (复制) process could meet such a large amount of demand. To solve this problem, Edison launched the improved wax cylinders (蜡筒) in 1902. Despite this, the phonograph would soon go down to the gramophone, whose discs could easily be multiplied. The phonograph was the beginning of “on demand” listening:“ The music you want, whenever you want it,” as one phonograph ad boasted. A curious new behavior emerged: listening to music alone. Previously, music was most often highly social, with a family gathering together around a piano. But now you could immerse yourself all alone.

And as I couldn’t stand to just throw the left plants, I decided to hold a plant sale by the side of the road. I had 30 small tomato plants for a start as well as other young vegetable plants. Within a few hours, I had gotten back the cost of growing the vegetables, and I could tell that passers- by were enjoying the cheap plants, so I went to look for more plants from the ones I hadn’t yet planted. In this way, the plants I sold increased a lot. Honestly, I could have sold twice as many, maybe the next year. The most exciting thing happened on the first day when I was in the kitchen writing up the price list and noticed a car back into our driveway. I went out to find a young lady on her way to work and of course we began to talk. She told me that she worked at a centre for homeless children. Although they had a garden, it was filled with a lot of wild grass. She wanted to grow some plants to light it up. Besides, she wanted to grow green vegetables for her children to improve their living conditions. Her kindness moved me. I told her it was a great idea. I advised her on how to prepare the soil, how to choose the types of vegetables, how to water them, and how to care for them. I also suggested that she ask the children to help her grow vegetables. She thanked me and said that my advice was very useful to her, which increased her confidence in growing vegetables well. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At the same time, I decided to try my best to make her wish come true. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About six months later, that woman invited me to her center.______________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
