Venice This iconic city is sinking rapidly. The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year, making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture. Experts warn that without intervention (干预) , this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate, consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps. Machu Picchu These iconic ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of South America. The forces of natural erosion (侵蚀) have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic. The Peruviar government recently suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins, making the site instantly accessible to millions, but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain. Glacier National Park Perhaps you’ve heard that the ice caps are melting. But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park. Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades. The Great Barrier Reef Hidden from view beneath the waves, the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off. Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone, destroyed by pollution and disease. 1. What can we learn about Machu Picchu? A. It’s famous for cable cars. B. It will soon turn away all visitors. C. It bears a heavy burden of tourism. D. It’s well preserved by the locals. 2. Which place probably needs visitors to dive into the water to enjoy its beauty? A. The Great Barrier Reef. B. Machu Picchu. C. Glacier National Park. D. Venice. 3. What do the above attractions have in common? A. They all have a long history. B. They’re all threatened by climate. C. They’re all in danger of disappearing. D. They’re all well-known for natural scenery. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四处面临消失危险的旅游地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Machu Picchu部分中“The forces of natural erosion (侵蚀) have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic.”可知，旅游业加速了自然侵蚀的力量，而这个地标正面临着日益增加的游客步行流量的严重影响。由此可知，Machu Picchu承载着沉重的旅游业负担。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Hidden from view beneath the waves, the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off.”可知，隐藏在海浪之下的大堡礁正在迅速消亡。由此可知，大堡礁可能需要游客潜入水中欣赏它的美丽。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Experts warn that without intervention (干预) , this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate, consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps.(专家警告说，如果不加以干预，这座城市将会以更快的速度消失在水中，被极地冰盖融化导致的海平面上升所吞噬)”；第三段中“The forces of natural erosion (侵蚀) have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic.(旅游业加速了自然侵蚀的力量，而这个地标正面临着日益增加的步行流量的严重影响)”；第四段中“Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades.(据估计，作为这个国家地标美丽的一部分的冰川将在未来20年内完全消失)”以及最后一段“Hidden from view beneath the waves, the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off. Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone, destroyed by pollution and disease.(隐藏在海浪之下的大堡礁正在迅速消亡。由于污染和疾病的破坏，曾经占据大片区域的近50%的珊瑚已经消失)”由此可知，以上景点的共同之处是它们都有消失的危险。故选C。 B Cantonese opera(粤剧) is one of the major Chinese opera categories. It is a traditional Chinese art form that originated in southern China’s Cantonese culture, and involves music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics and acting. Today it is not only very popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macao, but also performed all around the world. Cantonese opera was originally called Nanxi(Southern opera) in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and this beautiful art form has pleased audiences for hundreds of years. By absorbing the folk melodies and tunes of Guangdong, and mixing many different opera styles that were popular at the time, Cantonese opera developed during the 16th century. With the unique combination of these different influences, Nanxi was developed into Cantonese opera. Cantonese opera is a wonderful mix of storytelling, music and fighting. The performances are often based on well-known traditional stories or events from Chinese history. The colourful sets serve as the background for these performances and actors appear on stage with similarly colourful face paint. Fights are a common and important part of many shows with actors performing difficult and exciting martial arts movements. In the beginning, Cantonese opera costumes reflected the clothing style of the Ming Dynasty. Later, as Peking opera became increasingly popular, it was strongly influenced by Peking opera costumes. Costumes were made of cloth and later some accessories(配饰)were added. Different roles require different costumes. For example, an actor playing the Xiaosheng, a very gentle role, wears a costume with long sleeves; while the Xiaowu, an acting role, demands a costume with short sleeves so as to act easily. Many well-known operas are still performed today, such as The Purple Hairpin and Rejunenation of the Red Plum Flower, which originated in the Yuan Dynasty. Other Cantonese operas are adapted from western movies or novels. Generally, Cantonese opera performers have to master four skills: singing, acting movement, delivery of speeches, and martial gymnastic skills. Because of its long tradition and its importance in the development of Chinese arts and culture, Cantonese opera was included on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list in 2009. 4. Which of the following is NOT the factor in Cantonese opera’s development? A. Tunes of Guangdong. B. Different opera styles. C. A variety of dialects. D. Folk melodies. 5. What do we know about Cantonese opera costumes? A. They were originally a reflection of clothing style of Yuan Dynasty. B. They look more beautiful when they are made with more accessories. C. They were designed based on Peking opera costumes. D. Performers choose different costumes according to the roles they play. 6. What makes Cantonese opera an intangible cultural heritage? A. Its exciting movements and difficult performances. B. Its popularity and development. C. Its colorful sets and face paint. D. Its history and influence. 7. What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage? A. To prove that Cantonese opera is the most popular opera. B. To inform the readers of the development of Cantonese opera. C. To share the author’s experience of seeing a well-known Cantonese opera. D. To make a comparison between Cantonese opera and Peking opera. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了粤剧的发展历史。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By absorbing the folk melodies and tunes of Guangdong, and mixing many different opera styles that were popular at the time, Cantonese opera developed during the 16th century. (粤剧吸收了广东民间的旋律和曲调，融合了当时流行的许多不同的戏曲风格，在16世纪发展起来。)”可知，粤剧是吸收了广东民间的旋律和曲调，融合了当时流行的许多不同的戏曲风格，不包括各种方言。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Different roles require different costumes.(不同的角色要求不同的服装。)”可知，表演者要根据所扮演的角色来选择不同的戏服。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Because of its long tradition and its importance in the development of Chinese arts and culture, Cantonese opera was included on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list in 2009. (由于其悠久的传统和对中国艺术文化发展的重要性，粤剧于2009年被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录。)”可知，粤剧的悠久历史和重要影响助它入选非遗。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Cantonese opera was originally called Nanxi(Southern opera) in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and this beautiful art form has pleased audiences for hundreds of years. By absorbing the folk melodies and tunes of Guangdong, and mixing many different opera styles that were popular at the time, Cantonese opera developed during the 16th century. (粤剧在明朝嘉靖年间最初被称为南戏，这种美丽的艺术形式已经让观众高兴了数百年。粤剧吸收了广东民间的旋律和曲调，融合了当时流行的许多不同的戏曲风格，在16世纪发展起来。)”，第三段“Cantonese opera is a wonderful mix of storytelling, music and fighting. (粤剧是讲故事、音乐和打斗的完美结合。)”，第四段“In the beginning, Cantonese opera costumes reflected the clothing style of the Ming Dynasty. Later, as Peking opera became increasingly popular, it was strongly influenced by Peking opera costumes. (粤剧最初的服饰反映了明代的服饰风格。后来，随着京剧越来越流行，它受到京剧服装的强烈影响。)”和最后一段“Because of its long tradition and its importance in the development of Chinese arts and culture, Cantonese opera was included on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list in 2009. (由于其悠久的传统和对中国艺术文化发展的重要性，粤剧于2009年被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录。)”可知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了讲述粤剧的发展历史。故选B。 C South Korea has the biggest rate of Internet addiction in the world and it is increasingly the country’s children who are spending every waking moment immersing themselves in fantasy role plays or gaming In the remote mountains of South Korea, teenage Internet addicts are turning up for a 12-day boot camp.

The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies. The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic. “We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.” ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that. Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books. However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools. 12. What is the unique feature of ChatGPT? A. It has artificial intelligence. B. It can answer users’ questions. C. It has the largest number of users. D. It can engage in meaningful conversations. 13.

ChatGPT is not properly trained. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Intolerant. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能ChatGPT，介绍了其特点、存在的问题以及人们对ChatGPT的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.(它对用户问题提供深入解答的能力甚至引起了知名科技公司的注意)”以及第二段中“The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense.(这个智能机器人能理解用户所说或键入的内容，然后以合理的方式做出回应)”可知，ChatGPT的独特之处是它可以参与有意义的对话。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans.

It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021.(ChatGPT不能独立思考。这取决于它所接受的训练信息。因此，人工智能工具可以很好地处理有准确数据的事情。然而，当不确定时，ChatGPT可能会变得有创意，并给出不正确的回答。OpenAI提醒用户，无论这些信息听起来多么符合逻辑，都要检查。此外，ChatGPT的信息培训只进行到2021年)”可知，ChatGPT用户在使用时必须谨慎因为ChatGPT本身无法思考。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“ChatGPT cannot think on its own.(ChatGPT不能独立思考)”；第五段“Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems.

Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside. However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him. Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.” My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.” My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself. 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。 I took my sister home and continued my search alone. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk? Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called. When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn’t hold my tears. “It just came back by itself,” my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely. “I am sure you have learned your lesson today,” my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开。一个星期六的早上，因为怕冷，作者没有出去遛狗，而是让狗自己出去了，然后导致自家的狗走丢了。所以，作者和妹妹带上妈妈做的牌子到街上去找他家的狗，费了很大周折，作者也没能找到他家的狗。当作者伤心的回家后，却发现狗自己回来了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我把妹妹带回家，然后独自继续寻找。”可知，第一段可描写作者独自寻找他家的狗的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我回来的时候，我的母亲正在等我，笑容灿烂。”可知，第二段可描写走丢的狗回来了，它是如何回来的，以及作者一家人高兴的心情。 2.续写线索：放狗出去——狗跑走——出去追狗——狗跑丢——寻找狗——狗回来了 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走过：walk by/pass by/go by ②挨家敲门：knock from door to door/tap from door to door ③回家：return/go back home 情绪类 ①渴望地：eagerly / urgently/enthusiastically ②真诚地：sincerely / honestly/genuinely/truly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句和if引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3] It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.（运用了强调句型） 1–5 BBCAC 6–10 CAABA 11–15 CCBCA 16–20 ABBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 莆田锦江中学2024-2025学年上学期高三英语期中考试 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 第一部分 听力理解(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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.

Venice This iconic city is sinking rapidly. The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year, making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture. Experts warn that without intervention (干预) , this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate, consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps. Machu Picchu These iconic ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of South America. The forces of natural erosion (侵蚀) have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic. The Peruviar government recently suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins, making the site instantly accessible to millions, but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain. Glacier National Park Perhaps you’ve heard that the ice caps are melting. But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park. Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades. The Great Barrier Reef Hidden from view beneath the waves, the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off. Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone, destroyed by pollution and disease. 1. What can we learn about Machu Picchu? A. It’s famous for cable cars. B. It will soon turn away all visitors. C. It bears a heavy burden of tourism. D. It’s well preserved by the locals. 2. Which place probably needs visitors to dive into the water to enjoy its beauty? A.

It is a traditional Chinese art form that originated in southern China’s Cantonese culture, and involves music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics and acting. Today it is not only very popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macao, but also performed all around the world. Cantonese opera was originally called Nanxi(Southern opera) in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and this beautiful art form has pleased audiences for hundreds of years. By absorbing the folk melodies and tunes of Guangdong, and mixing many different opera styles that were popular at the time, Cantonese opera developed during the 16th century. With the unique combination of these different influences, Nanxi was developed into Cantonese opera. Cantonese opera is a wonderful mix of storytelling, music and fighting. The performances are often based on well-known traditional stories or events from Chinese history. The colourful sets serve as the background for these performances and actors appear on stage with similarly colourful face paint. Fights are a common and important part of many shows with actors performing difficult and exciting martial arts movements. In the beginning, Cantonese opera costumes reflected the clothing style of the Ming Dynasty. Later, as Peking opera became increasingly popular, it was strongly influenced by Peking opera costumes. Costumes were made of cloth and later some accessories(配饰)were added. Different roles require different costumes. For example, an actor playing the Xiaosheng, a very gentle role, wears a costume with long sleeves; while the Xiaowu, an acting role, demands a costume with short sleeves so as to act easily. Many well-known operas are still performed today, such as The Purple Hairpin and Rejunenation of the Red Plum Flower, which originated in the Yuan Dynasty. Other Cantonese operas are adapted from western movies or novels. Generally, Cantonese opera performers have to master four skills: singing, acting movement, delivery of speeches, and martial gymnastic skills. Because of its long tradition and its importance in the development of Chinese arts and culture, Cantonese opera was included on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list in 2009. 4. Which of the following is NOT the factor in Cantonese opera’s development? A. Tunes of Guangdong. B. Different opera styles. C. A variety of dialects. D. Folk melodies. 5. What do we know about Cantonese opera costumes? A. They were originally a reflection of clothing style of Yuan Dynasty. B. They look more beautiful when they are made with more accessories. C. They were designed based on Peking opera costumes. D. Performers choose different costumes according to the roles they play. 6. What makes Cantonese opera an intangible cultural heritage? A. Its exciting movements and difficult performances. B. Its popularity and development. C. Its colorful sets and face paint. D. Its history and influence. 7. What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage? A To prove that Cantonese opera is the most popular opera. B. To inform the readers of the development of Cantonese opera. C. To share the author’s experience of seeing a well-known Cantonese opera. D. To make a comparison between Cantonese opera and Peking opera. C South Korea has the biggest rate of Internet addiction in the world and it is increasingly the country’s children who are spending every waking moment immersing themselves in fantasy role plays or gaming In the remote mountains of South Korea, teenage Internet addicts are turning up for a 12-day boot camp. Kyle Won’s addiction is out of control. He spends 10 hours a day on the Internet. Now Kyle’s smartphone is taken away. The teachers here do what they can to get them socializing again; for many, the only friends they have had are online. “I have relationships on the Internet and a real distance has gown with my real-life friends and I know it’s not good,” Kyle said. The teachers show them other possibilities and bring back dreams and hopes that have been buried by their addictions. “We teach them methods of managing their desire to use the Internet so that they can continue to use it when they go back home,” Shim Yong-school, a teacher here, said. After just two days Kyle said It was helpful. He’s set a good example to others though he hasn’t reached the goal completely. Sout Korean psychiatrists (精神病专家) are urging more/action as they are finding evidence that too much screen time is a barrier to the developing minds. Professor Kang Seak Young from Dankook, University said the addiction was damaging critical thinking. “It affects the frontal lobes (额叶) which are important to critical analysis” Professor Kang said. “Reading a book and guessing what happens in the story next show activity in frontal lobes but playing popular computer games for a long time shows no activity.” South Korea is one of the most wired nations on Earth, but it does have a cost. One in every ten kids is an addict so the country is now learning how to manage its high-tech future to avoid more serious consequences. 8. What do the teachers in the camp teach teenagers to do? A. Self-manage their smartphones. B. Attain something beyond the Internet. C. Make online friends more wisely. D. Keep away from electronic products. 9. Why does the author mention Kyle’s story? A. He faced the most serious addiction. B. He has succeeded in kicking the addiction. C. He’s the representative of the addicts. D. He participated in the camp actively. 10. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us? A. The importance of offline reading. B. The effects of frontal lobes on thinking. C. The popularity of kids’ Internet games. D. The harm of Internet addiction to brains. 11. Which saying can explain the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. There are two sides to every coin. B. No pain, no gain. C. It’s good to learn at another man’s cost. D. Prevention is better than cure. D ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies. The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic. “We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.” ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds.

Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside. However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him. Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.” My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.” My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself. 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。 I took my sister home and continued my search alone. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1–5 BBCAC 6–10 CAABA 11–15 CCBCA 16–20 ABBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
