See what your second graders think of these tried-and-true read-aloud books. Chicken Cheeks by Michael Ian Black is a short, silly tale about a bear who is determined to reach some honey with the help of some of his animal friends. With minimal text, this book is a short, quick read-aloud one that appeals to the potty-humor of seven-year-olds. Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel follows the adventures of a pair of amphibian best friends, Frog and Toad. The stories are silly, heart-warming, relatable, and always a treasure to share with children. Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White, published in 1952, captivates readers of all ages with its timeless tale of friendship, love, and sacrifice. The story introduces children to the richness of language and reminds them of the influence we can have on the lives of others even if we feel small and insignificant. The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a series originally published in 1924, tells the story of four orphaned siblings who work together to make their home in an abandoned boxcar. The story imparts lessons such as hard work, resilience, and team work all woven into a story that will hook young readers and inspire them to investigate the rest of the series. 1.

B An optional college course named “Appreciation of the Jiangxi Opera” has been taught in a packed house recently at Nanchang University in east China’s Jiangxi Province due to the professor’s innovative way of teaching—putting on actual opera performances in her classrooms. Waving water sleeves, and spinning folding fans while wearing traditional makeup and costumes, Chen Li, the instructor of this course, displayed the enchanting charm of Jiangxi Opera, a several-hundred-year-old local opera, in front of the students. Many of the students recorded the performances and posted the video clips of the class on social media platforms, receiving millions of views and likes from netizens. Instead of adopting the traditional form of stage play, Chen devotes more attention to her students’ interactive experience. “I invite my students to come to the stage and experience the whole process of the performance by themselves,” Chen said. The course which she teaches has been open for many years, mainly introducing the history, tunes and performance characteristics of Jiangxi Opera. It’s not well known that this course, which is full of people now, was originally rarely attended. “Before, I used to focus on the form of speech and lectures while the teaching effect was unsatisfying: the classroom was quiet and the students seemed uninterested, many even playing on their phones in class,” said Chen. To stir the enthusiasm of the students, Chen decided to put on a costume and turn the class into a stage to perform. With traditional garments (服装) and brandishing water sleeves, students are immersed in the world of Jiangxi Opera. Faced with the unexpected fame, Chen was satisfied but also realized that a greater responsibility now rested on her shoulders. “I hope that even though the popularity of the Jiangxi Opera fades, this art can still be passed down through generations.” Chen said. 4. What is Ms Chen’s teaching method? A. Recording video clips of opera performances. B. Giving speeches and lectures about the opera. C. Employing the traditional forms of stage play. D. Acting out the opera on the spot in the classroom. 5. What does Ms Chen ask her students to do in class? A. Give likes for her videos. B. Invite more fans to the class. C. Experience the opera in person. D. Wave arms during the performance 6. What did Ms Chen think of her teaching effect in the past? A. Disappointing. B. Astonishing. C. Entertaining. D. Satisfying 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The crowded classroom means a lively class B. Teaching Jiangxi Opera wins likes from students C. A teacher performs in class to attract fans for her videos D. Opera professor turns classrooms into performance stages C Many people live with chronic (慢性) pain, and there’re complex reasons for it. Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected. This new study reanalyzed measures collected in an earlier study, in which a group of chronic pain sufferers had been randomly arranged an intervention (干预) shown to reduce pain (sleeping with a heavily-weighted blanket) or to a control condition(sleeping with a slightly-weighted blanket). After sleeping with their blankets for a week, changes in people’s pain levels were assessed. In the earlier study the pain sufferers had also reported on their anxiety, levels of loneliness, and sense of social connectedness—not how many social connections they had, but how generally close they were to other people and how strongly they experienced a sense of belonging. But these hadn’t all been analyzed to see how they related to pain and pain relief from the blankets. That’s where the new study came in. The new findings showed that people who were more socially connected experienced less pain than those who were less socially connected. After taking into account differences in how much pain relief the sufferers expected and how painful they felt in the beginning, those who were socially disconnected felt more pain relief from the weighted blanket than from the lighter blanket, while more socially connected people received equal pain relief from both blankets. These findings show that having a sense of belonging provides some level of protection against pain. Why? Socially connected people probably feel safer and less anxious, says Baumgartner, because they know they can depend on others for support when they’re hurting. Besides, positive social touch—like receiving a friendly hug or massage—has been shown to reduce pain feel, and people who’re more socially connected likely experience more of those types of touch, Case adds. Their study adds to a growing body of research showing how important social connectedness and social touch are for our health and happiness—something that’s been getting more attention in recent years. 8. What did the new study mainly focus on? A. The participants’ pain levels. B. The effects of social connections on pain. C. The different interventions. D. The participants’ similar sense of belonging. 9 What can be learnt from the new study? A. Being socially disconnected worsened people’s pain. B. People having more social connections experienced no pain. C. People’s initial pain levels had few effects on the participants. D. The weighted blanket benefited those socially disconnected a lot. 10. What does Case probably suggest people do in paragraph 5? A. Compete with each other. B. Avoid too much touch. C. Hug their friends more. D. Control their feelings. 11. From which section of the newspaper is the text probably taken? A. Health. B. Technology. C. Environment. D. People. D As the growth of AI increased last year, writers and illustrators of comic books and animations continue to be particularly concerned about its potential impact on them. AI can never reproduce the quality of humans when it comes to storytelling, argues Shawnee Gibbs. “This is an incredibly unique medium (comics and animation) that gets its DNA from the collaboration of writers and artists. I can’t imagine that kind of cooperation when you generate stories from AI,” says Shawnee. However, her sister Shawnelle says, “AI will change the industry in ways we can’t even understand at the moment.” She wants to see laws emerge that protect human creators as AI technology evolves. Rob Edwards is a writer of graphic novels. “A world of writers using AI is a world of unoriginal, recycled, impersonal ideas,” he says. “Right now, there’s a kid out there drawing the next weird but innovative comic book that could inspire millions. My concern is that AI will talk that kid out of it before anybody sees it. If you think the animated movies you watch are predictable now, just wait until computers are writing them.” One person who has created comic books whose images were all drawn by AI is artist Steve Coulson. He says that using AI to create individual images “can be a pretty simple exercise”. However, he says that when you want to tell a story over multiple images, “it is a tougher nut to crack”, as you have to “enable the system to produce consistent characters, settings, stylings and so on, in order to tell a whole story”. Despite the growing popularity of all these apps, Jonathan Kendrick says, “AI cannot create an image the way a human mind can. It’s like having a bad writer help you—sure it will get an outline done, but if you need something with emotional weight, an AI isn’t going to get you an Oscar. AI can never surprise us in the way we want our stories and art to be portrayed. Because of this, AI is simply a tool to be used by humans, not to replace them. Otherwise, we sacrifice the originality and creativity that consumers know and love.” 12. What does Shawnelle stress in the second paragraph? A. The unique nature of comics and animation. B. The quality of storytelling crafted by humans. C. The need for legal protection for human creators. D. AI’s ability to work with humans in storytelling. 13. What does Rob Edwards worry about? A. AI steals creative ideas from kids. B AI prevents people’s inventiveness. C. AI produces predictable animated movies. D. AI makes people give up the idea of recycling. 14. What does the underlined part mean? A. It is rewarding. B. It is thrilling. C. It is challenging. D. It is entertaining. 15. What does Jonathan Kendrick think of AI? A. It is bad in writing outlines for creators. B. It will win an Oscar for its originality. C. It will work just like a human mind. D. It fails to express feelings in writing. 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。 Have you heard of “spaving”? It refers to the phenomenon where individuals try to save money but end up spending more than they originally intended due to discounts and special promotions. About six in ten Americans admitted to spaving in a survey of 3,000 respondents. You might also be a victim of spaving. ____16____ Create a proper spending plan. One key roadblock is that people tend to think that their past expenses were lower than they had planned, and assume that their future expenses will also be much lower. As a result, people are more likely to set up an unrealistic budget. ____17____ And not being able to meet the goals they have set gets them further off track. Check your opportunity costs. ____18____ So when we see a great deal we get excited and think about how much we will save rather than thinking about the trade-offs. Next time, when considering a great deal, ask yourself whether this purchase is more important than what else you could do with that amount of money. Compare prices based on units In general, the bigger the quantity you're buying, the cheaper it should be per unit. For example, if you're buying a 24-pack of flavored water, the cost per can should be lower than that of the 12-pack. ____19____ Keep an eye on such cases and make informed decisions. ____20____ As social creatures, humans look to what others are doing as cues about what they should do. So when it seems like everyone is taking advantage of the Labor Day Sale, Black Friday, or Prime Day, we assume that we should as well, even if we do not actually need anything at the moment. A. Stop going with the stream. B. Seek shopping advice from others. C. This makes people fail, which is discouraging. D. However, sometimes promotions go against this pattern. E. Thankfully, it's easy to avoid this spending trap with a conscious mind. F. The problem with saving is that it tricks you into buying unneeded items. G.

They work together and serve together. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck with strong force across Florence, bringing fierce winds and record-breaking rainfall. The city was destroyed by the storm’s intensity, leading to widespread damage and flooding. Emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those trapped by the rising floodwaters, while power failure left entire neighborhoods in darkness. In the face of such misfortune, both of Kris and Robin felt depressed and helpless, yet eager to assist. Upon discovering Convoy of Hope’s volunteer program, they didn’t hesitate to sign up. Soon after, they were invited to training, marking the start of their mission to serve together in this fighting. However, their initial response to the arrangement was filled with anxiety for Kris. “I am kind of nervous before heading out. I wonder if I could remember my training?” said Kris Logemann, her voice with uncertainty. “Don’t worry! You see the staff do such a great job. They are incredibly supportive to us and will provide guidance and reassure every step of the way.” Robin comforted. She also added, “I am right there for you, too, Kris, we are in it together, and we’ll make it just like before.” Robin Melcher remembered the first few rescues she and her sister went on. “We were helping a woman who had just lost her husband,” said Kris. “We were taking things out of her house, but also holding her hand and loving her. The ability to do that... it’s just really cool.” “Obviously we love it because we come back,” added Kris. Full of power, Kris and Robin put their whole hearts into the training. During the Convoy of Hope’s detailed training program, they learned about disaster response, safety procedures, and psychological first aid. Through hands-on practice and team-building exercise, they prepared physically and mentally for the tasks ahead. As Kris and Robin continued their volunteer work, they were faced with one of their most heart-struck and unforgettable challenges. 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。 Word came that a school had been severely affected by flooding, with numerous students trapped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the rescue, the story of the sisters’ heroic efforts was reported. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语小考试题 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Seven-year-olds, with their increasing attention spans, are ready for more complex chapter books, but they still enjoy shorter stories and funny picture books.

That’s where the new study came in.(不是他们有多少社会联系，而是他们与他人的亲密程度，以及他们感受到的归属感有多强烈。但这些并没有被全部分析，以了解它们与毯子带来的疼痛和疼痛缓解有何关系。这就是新研究的切入点)”可知，新研究重点分析了社会联系对疼痛的影响。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“After taking into account differences in how much pain relief the sufferers expected and how painful they felt in the beginning, those who were socially disconnected felt more pain relief from the weighted blanket than from the lighter blanket, while more socially connected people received equal pain relief from both blankets.(在考虑了患者期望的疼痛缓解程度和他们一开始感受到的疼痛程度的差异后，那些与社会脱节的人从加重的毯子上感受到的疼痛缓解比从较轻的毯子上感受到的疼痛缓解更多，而与社会联系更紧密的人从两种毯子上得到的疼痛缓解是一样的)”可推断，加重的毯子更有利于社会联系不多的人。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Besides, positive social touch—like receiving a friendly hug or massage—has been shown to reduce pain feel, and people who’re more socially connected likely experience more of those types of touch, Case adds.(此外，积极的社交接触——比如接受一个友好的拥抱或按摩——已经被证明可以减轻疼痛感，而且社交联系更紧密的人可能会经历更多这种类型的接触，凯斯补充道)”可推断，Case 有可能建议人们多拥抱他们的朋友。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected.(现在，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究员Laura Case与Jennifer Baumgartner合著了一项新研究，提出了一种新的对疼痛的潜在影响：社会联系感)”结合下文介绍研究开展的经过以及研究的发现可知，本文与个人健康有关。故文章最有可能出现在报纸的“健康”版块。故选A。 D As the growth of AI increased last year, writers and illustrators of comic books and animations continue to be particularly concerned about its potential impact on them. AI can never reproduce the quality of humans when it comes to storytelling argues Shawnee Gibbs. “This is an incredibly unique medium (comics and animation) that gets its DNA from the collaboration of writers and artists. I can’t imagine that kind of cooperation when you generate stories from AI,” says Shawnee. However, her sister Shawnelle says, “AI will change the industry in ways we can’t even understand at the moment.” She wants to see laws emerge that protect human creators as AI technology evolves. Rob Edwards is a writer of graphic novels. “A world of writers using AI is a world of unoriginal, recycled, impersonal ideas,” he says. “Right now, there’s a kid out there drawing the next weird but innovative comic book that could inspire millions. My concern is that AI will talk that kid out of it before anybody sees it. If you think the animated movies you watch are predictable now, just wait until computers are writing them.” One person who has created comic books whose images were all drawn by AI is artist Steve Coulson. He says that using AI to create individual images “can be a pretty simple exercise”. However, he says that when you want to tell a story over multiple images, “it is a tougher nut to crack”, as you have to “enable the system to produce consistent characters, settings, stylings and so on, in order to tell a whole story”. Despite the growing popularity of all these apps, Jonathan Kendrick says, “AI cannot create an image the way a human mind can. It’s like having a bad writer help you—sure it will get an outline done, but if you need something with emotional weight, an AI isn’t going to get you an Oscar. AI can never surprise us in the way we want our stories and art to be portrayed. Because of this, AI is simply a tool to be used by humans, not to replace them. Otherwise, we sacrifice the originality and creativity that consumers know and love.” 12. What does Shawnelle stress in the second paragraph? A. The unique nature of comics and animation. B. The quality of storytelling crafted by humans. C. The need for legal protection for human creators. D. AI’s ability to work with humans in storytelling. 13. What does Rob Edwards worry about? A. AI steals creative ideas from kids. B AI prevents people’s inventiveness. C. AI produces predictable animated movies. D. AI makes people give up the idea of recycling. 14. What does the underlined part mean? A. It is rewarding. B. It is thrilling. C. It is challenging. D. It is entertaining. 15. What does Jonathan Kendrick think of AI? A. It is bad in writing outlines for creators. B. It will win an Oscar for its originality. C. It will work just like a human mind. D. It fails to express feelings in writing. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了人工智能对动漫和动画的影响，以及人们对于人工智能的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“She wants to see laws emerge that protect human creators as AI technology evolves.(她希望看到法律出现，随着人工智能技术的发展，保护人类创造者。)”可知，Shawnelle强调人类创造者需要法律保护。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Right now, there’s a kid out there drawing the next weird but innovative comic book that could inspire millions. My concern is that AI will talk that kid out of it before anybody sees it. If you think the animated movies you watch are predictable now, just wait until computers are writing them.(现在，有一个孩子在画下一本奇怪但创新的漫画书，可以激励数百万人。我担心的是，人工智能会在任何人看到它之前说服那个孩子（不要创新）。如果你认为你现在看的动画电影是可以预测的，那就等着电脑写出来吧。 )”可推测，Rob Edwards担心人工智能阻碍了人们的创造力。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第四段“However, he says that when you want to tell a story over multiple images, ‘it is a tougher nut to crack’, as you have to ‘enable the system to produce consistent characters, settings, stylings and so on, in order to tell a whole story’.(然而，他说，当你想在多张图片上讲述一个故事时，‘ ’，因为你必须‘使系统能够产生一致的角色、设置、风格等，才能讲述一个完整的故事’。)”可知，要想通过多幅图像来讲述一个故事，这是很困难的，因此划线部分的意思是“这是具有挑战性的”的意思。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“AI cannot create an image the way a human mind can. It’s like having a bad writer help you—sure it will get an outline done, but if you need something with emotional weight, an AI isn’t going to get you an Oscar. AI can never surprise us in the way we want our stories and art to be portrayed. Because of this, AI is simply a tool to be used by humans, not to replace them. Otherwise, we sacrifice the originality and creativity that consumers know and love.(人工智能无法像人类思维那样创造图像。这就像有一个糟糕的作家帮助你——当然，它会完成一个大纲，但如果你需要一些具有情感重量的东西，人工智能不会给你带来奥斯卡奖。人工智能永远不会让我们对我们想要描绘的故事和艺术的方式感到惊讶。因此，人工智能只是人类使用的工具，而不是取代人类。否则，我们就会牺牲消费者所知道和喜爱的原创性和创造力。)”可知，Jonathan Kendrick认为AI不能用文字中表达感情。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you heard of “spaving”? It refers to the phenomenon where individuals try to save money but end up spending more than they originally intended due to discounts and special promotions. About six in ten Americans admitted to spaving in a survey of 3,000 respondents. You might also be a victim of spaving. ____16____ Create a proper spending plan. One key roadblock is that people tend to think that their past expenses were lower than they had planned, and assume that their future expenses will also be much lower. As a result, people are more likely to set up an unrealistic budget. ____17____ And not being able to meet the goals they have set gets them further off track. Check your opportunity costs. ____18____ So when we see a great deal, we get excited and think about how much we will save rather than thinking about the trade-offs. Next time, when considering a great deal, ask yourself whether this purchase is more important than what else you could do with that amount of money. Compare prices based on units. In general, the bigger the quantity you're buying, the cheaper it should be per unit. For example, if you're buying a 24-pack of flavored water, the cost per can should be lower than that of the 12-pack. ____19____ Keep an eye on such cases and make informed decisions. ____20____ As social creatures, humans look to what others are doing as cues about what they should do. So when it seems like everyone is taking advantage of the Labor Day Sale, Black Friday, or Prime Day, we assume that we should as well, even if we do not actually need anything at the moment. A. Stop going with the stream. B. Seek shopping advice from others. C. This makes people fail, which is discouraging. D. However, sometimes promotions go against this pattern. E. Thankfully, it's easy to avoid this spending trap with a conscious mind. F. The problem with saving is that it tricks you into buying unneeded items. G. Often, we don't think about what we're giving up when making a purchase. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对人们为了省钱，却由于折扣和特别促销，最终花费比原计划多的现象给出了一些方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Have you heard of “spaving”? It refers to the phenomenon where individuals try to save money but end up spending more than they originally intended due to discounts and special promotions. About six in ten Americans admitted to spaving in a survey of 3,000 respondents. You might also be a victim of spaving. (你听说过“省钱”吗?它指的是个人试图省钱，但由于折扣和特别促销，最终花费比原计划多的现象。在一项针对3000名受访者的调查中，大约60%的美国人承认自己存钱。你也可能是储蓄的受害者)”和下文的各个小标题可知设空处承上启下，应该和怎样做才能避免这些消费陷阱，所以E选项“值得庆幸的是，有意识的头脑很容易避免这个消费陷阱。”符合题意，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“As a result, people are more likely to set up an unrealistic budget. (因此，人们更有可能制定不切实际的预算)”和下文“And not being able to meet the goals they have set gets them further off track. (不能达到他们设定的目标会让他们进一步偏离轨道)”可推知，设空处是说明人们制定不切实际的预算的后果，故选C选项“这使人们失败，这是令人沮丧的。”符合题意，并且和下文一致都在说明后果，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Next time, when considering a great deal, ask yourself whether this purchase is more important than what else you could do with that amount of money. (下次，当你考虑一笔大交易时，问问你自己，这笔钱是否比你能做的其他事情更重要)”可推知，句首应该是说我们在购物时候经常不会考虑该不该花这笔钱，所以G选项“通常，我们在购物时不会考虑我们放弃了什么。”符合题意，并且呼应下文，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“In general, the bigger the quantity you're buying, the cheaper it should be per unit. For example, if you're buying a 24-pack of flavored water, the cost per can should be lower than that of the 12-pack. (一般来说，你购买的数量越多，单位价格就越便宜。例如，如果你买了24包的调味水，每罐的成本应该比12包的低)”和下文“Keep an eye on such cases and make informed decisions. (密切关注这类情况，做出明智的决定)”可推知，设空处应该是和一般情况相反，所以要关注这类情况，所以D选项“然而，有时候促销与这种模式背道而驰。”符合题意，故选D。 【20题详解】 设空处为本段主题句。根据下文“As social creatures, humans look to what others are doing as cues about what they should do. So when it seems like everyone is taking advantage of the Labor Day Sale, Black Friday, or Prime Day, we assume that we should as well, even if we do not actually need anything at the moment. (作为社会生物，人类会根据别人的行为来判断自己应该做什么。因此，当似乎每个人都在利用劳动节大减价、黑色星期五或黄金会员日时，我们认为我们也应该这样做，即使我们目前实际上并不需要任何东西)”可知，本段建议不要根据别人的行为来判断自己应该做什么，故A选项“不要随波逐流。”符合本段题旨，故选A。 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项 Every afternoon for the past 11 years, AI Merritt, 83 years old, has been a reliable and cheery presence in his southeast Carlsbad neighbourhood, California.

They work together and serve together. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck with strong force across Florence, bringing fierce winds and record-breaking rainfall. The city was destroyed by the storm’s intensity, leading to widespread damage and flooding. Emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those trapped by the rising floodwaters, while power failure left entire neighborhoods in darkness. In the face of such misfortune, both of Kris and Robin felt depressed and helpless, yet eager to assist. Upon discovering Convoy of Hope’s volunteer program, they didn’t hesitate to sign up. Soon after, they were invited to training, marking the start of their mission to serve together in this fighting. However, their initial response to the arrangement was filled with anxiety for Kris. “I am kind of nervous before heading out. I wonder if I could remember my training?” said Kris Logemann, her voice with uncertainty. “Don’t worry! You see the staff do such a great job. They are incredibly supportive to us and will provide guidance and reassure every step of the way.” Robin comforted. She also added, “I am right there for you, too, Kris, we are in it together, and we’ll make it just like before.” Robin Melcher remembered the first few rescues she and her sister went on. “We were helping a woman who had just lost her husband,” said Kris. “We were taking things out of her house, but also holding her hand and loving her. The ability to do that... it’s just really cool.” “Obviously we love it because we come back,” added Kris. Full of power, Kris and Robin put their whole hearts into the training. During the Convoy of Hope’s detailed training program, they learned about disaster response, safety procedures, and psychological first aid. Through hands-on practice and team-building exercise, they prepared physically and mentally for the tasks ahead. As Kris and Robin continued their volunteer work, they were faced with one of their most heart-struck and unforgettable challenges. 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。 Word came that a school had been severely affected by flooding, with numerous students trapped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the rescue, the story of the sisters’ heroic efforts was reported. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Word came that a school had been severely affected by flooding, with numerous students trapped.
