C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍动物园Monster Zoo的有关事宜，其中包括Monster Zoo、Opening Hours、Tickets、Meet the Keeper、Café和Picnics。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据Monster Zoo中Monster zoo was founded in 1983 as a breeding area (繁殖区). Officially open to the public in October 1993,“Monster动物园成立于1983年，是一个繁殖地。1993年10月正式向公众开放，”由此推知，动物园在成立十年后对公众开放。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tickets中Child (4-14 years old) : AU $ 28. 50；Adult (15 years old and over) : AU $ 51. 75；Family / Mini Group: AU $ 132. 75可知，AU $ 28. 50+ AU $ 28. 50+ AU $ 51. 75= AU $108.75，也就是说“如果三个年龄分别为12岁、14岁和19岁的年轻人参观动物园，他们要付108.75澳元。”故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。本文在介绍动物园Monster Zoo的有关事宜，其中包括Monster Zoo、Opening Hours、Tickets、Meet the Keeper、Café和Picnics，所以这篇文章最有可能来自一个旅游网址。故选C。 【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第1小题，根据Monster Zoo中Monster zoo was founded in 1983 as a breeding area (繁殖区). Officially open to the public in October 1993,“Monster动物园成立于1983年，是一个繁殖地。1993年10月正式向公众开放，”由此推知，动物园在成立十年后对公众开放。故选C。 B The first day of high school felt like a big adventure, but also a bit terrible. I didn’t know how important studying would be, and I didn’t have any plans for what I wanted to do later in life. My friend, Alex, saw that I wasn’t really into school. One day, after a boring science class, he talked to me. “You can do better,” he said seriously. “You just need to put in some effort.” His words made me think. I started to focus more in class, trying to really understand what the teachers were saying. Alex and I would study together, and he would help me with the difficult parts. Gradually (逐渐地), things that I didn’t make sense before started to click. One day, while we were working on a science problem, I had a moment of understanding. I realized that learning is not just about getting good marks; it’s about exploring new ideas and enjoying the challenge of solving problems. It was great to make things out. As time went by, my grades got better, and so did my attitude towards school. I started to think about what I wanted to do when I grew up and made plans for college. I understood that high school was a chance to get ready for my dreams. Now, I’m thankful for that moment when I realized how important learning is and for Alex’s help. It showed me that school is a place to discover what you love and to work towards your goals. I look forward to each day, knowing that every bit of learning brings me closer to becoming the person I want to be. 24. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. He was excited and ready. B. He made no plans for future. C. He played an adventurous game. D. He wanted to challenge himself. 25. What did Alex do to help the author? A. He gave the author extra homework. B. He made science classes more interesting. C. He encouraged the author to work harder. D. He made efforts to change the author’s interest. 26. What made the author see the value of learning? A. Getting a high mark. B. A talk with a teacher. C. Visiting an ideal college. D. Solving a science problem. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. The Journey to Loving Learning B. The Importance of Studying Hard C. Discovering a New Learning Method D. Developing a Lifelong Friendship 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在朋友Alex的帮助下，逐渐认识到学习的重要性，并对学校态度转变的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The first day of high school felt like a big adventure, but also a bit terrible. I didn’t know how important studying would be, and I didn’t have any plans for what I wanted to do later in life.”可知，作者对未来的生活没有任何计划。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day, after a boring science class, he talked to me. “You can do better,” he said seriously. “You just need to put in some effort.” His words made me think.(一天，在一节无聊的科学课后，他对我说：“你可以做得更好，”他严肃地说。“你只需要付出一些努力。”他的话让我思考)”可知，Alex鼓励作者更加努力学习。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“One day, while we were working on a science problem, I had a moment of understanding. I realized that learning is not just about getting good marks; it’s about exploring new ideas and enjoying the challenge of solving problems.(有一天，当我们在研究一个科学问题时，我有一瞬间的理解。我意识到学习不仅仅是为了取得好成绩；它是关于探索新想法和享受解决问题的挑战)”可推知，作者在解决科学问题时意识到了学习的价值。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“Now, I’m thankful for that moment when I realized how important learning is and for Alex’s help. It showed me that school is a place to discover what you love and to work towards your goals.(现在，我很感激那一刻，我意识到学习是多么重要，也很感谢亚历克斯的帮助。它告诉我，学校是一个发现你所爱的东西并朝着你的目标努力的地方)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在朋友Alex的帮助下，逐渐认识到学习的重要性，并对学校态度转变的故事。因此“爱上学习的旅程”最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C Children should do housework. That’s a controversial (有争议的) idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign (分派) housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn’t get done. That’s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being. One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor (预测) for young adults’ success in their mid-20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids “more responsible”. Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework. Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance. What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you’re doing it right. Can a payment help? Maybe. But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message. 28. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. Very few children get housework done. B. Children are very busy with housework. C. Housework is a must-do for parents. D. Family members should respect each other. 29. What is found in the small study? A. Housework helps a man live a happy life. B. A man’s success depends on his housework. C. Housework benefits a sense of responsibility. D. A child must start doing housework at Age 3. 30. What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph? A. Balance housework and study. B. Help the child do housework positively. C. Do housework by themselves. D. Pay the child for housework. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Adults Do Less Housework in the US B. Housework Matters to Children. C. Parents Words Speak Louder D. Children Need More Care at Home 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要以“孩子要做家务”为话题，通过研究和事例，论证做家务对孩子成长的重要性，鼓励家长督促孩子多参与家务活，培养责任意识。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Many more of us assign (分派) housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn’t get done.(我们中有更多的人会分配家务，或者说我们相信家务，但家务只是没有被作。)”可推断，尽管分派了家务活，但是很少有孩子真正去做。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.(这些早期共同承担的责任延伸到了他们生活中其他领域的责任感。)”可知，该研究发现做家务活有助于孩子们培养责任意识。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you’re doing it right.(当你让孩子做家务时，你应该怎么做？不要接受任何借口。如果你必须一遍又一遍地重复，也不要担心。如果你花在让孩子做这件事上的时间比你自己做这件事的时间还多，那么你做得对。)”可知，作者建议家长给孩子分派家务活时不接受孩子的任何托词，积极帮助孩子做家务。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段首句“Children should do housework.(孩子们应该做家务。)”为该文的核心话题，第二段“For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being.(首先，做家务对孩子有好处。作为日常家务的一部分，帮助孩子们培养对他人需求的认识，同时也有助于他们的情感健康。)”论述了做家务可以给孩子带来的好处，由此可知，本文主要论述做家务活对孩子成长的重要性，助力孩子的责任意识，因此最好的标题是B选项“Housework Matters to Children.(家务对孩子很重要。)”。故选B。 D A Japanese city is using AI (人工智能) to help with the problem of kids not wanting to go to school. They look at students’ information to see who might stop coming because of worries, being bullied (欺凌), or other problems. In a city near Tokyo, they tested an Al system for a year. They wanted to help teachers find students who are having a hard time. In Japan, more and more kids are not going to school for a long time. In 2022, almost 300,000 kids didn’t go to school for 30 days or more. The AI system looks at things like how often kids go to school, how well they do in school, and if they are healthy. It also looks at if they visit the school nurse a lot or if there are reports about them being bullied. The system then uses past data (数据) to see how likely it is that a student will stop going to school. It gives each student a color, from red (highest risk) to yellow (lowest risk). In the test, the program said 1,193 students were at high risk. Teachers decided that 265 of them needed help right away. To keep kids’ information safe, the city made rules about how to use the data and not to treat students unfairly because of the AI’s predictions (预测). They also told parents they could say no to using their kids’ data. Only important people in the school, like headmasters, could see the results. “By using real information, we might be able to stop kids from not wanting to go to school,” said Makiko Nakamuro, a professor from Keio University and an expert on education. “But we have to think really hard about keeping their data safe by telling them clearly why and how we use their information,” she also said. 32. What is the main purpose of using AI in the Japanese city? A. To improve students’ scores. B. To study students’ health conditions. C. To make bullying problems happen less in schools. D. To find students at risk of not attending school. 33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The job of school nurses. B. How the AI system checks kids’ health. C. The main focus of the AI system. D. Why students need better education. 34. How did the city protect students’ information? A. Make strict rules about data using. B. Hide all the data after testing. C. Give up using their real information. D. Send the result only to their parents. 35. What is Makiko Nakamuro’s attitude towards the AI system? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Anxious. D. Confused. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了日本一座城市如何使用人工智能来帮助解决孩子们不想上学的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A Japanese city is using AI (人工智能) to help with the problem of kids not wanting to go to school. They look at students’ information to see who might stop coming because of worries, being bullied (欺凌), or other problems.(日本一座城市正在使用人工智能来帮助解决孩子们不想上学的问题。他们查看学生的信息，看看谁可能会因为担心、被欺负或其他问题而停止来上学)”可知，日本城市使用人工智能的主要目的是为了帮助解决孩子们不想上学的问题，发现有失学风险的学生。故选D。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The AI system looks at things like how often kids go to school, how well they do in school, and if they are healthy. It also looks at if they visit the school nurse a lot or if there are reports about them being bullied.(人工智能系统着眼于孩子们上学的频率、他们在学校的表现以及他们是否健康。它还会查看他们是否经常去学校护士那里，或者是否有关于他们被欺负的报道)”可知，第三段详细介绍了AI系统分析的数据类型，包括学生的出勤率、学业成绩、健康状况、访问校医的频率以及是否有被欺凌的报告。由此可知，第三段主要介绍了人工智能系统关注哪些信息。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的“To keep kids’ information safe, the city made rules about how to use the data and not to treat students unfairly because of the AI’s predictions (预测).(为了保护孩子们的信息安全，该市制定了关于如何使用数据的规则，并确保不会因为AI的预测而对学生不公平对待)”可知，该市通过制定严格的数据使用规则来保护学生信息。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的““By using real information, we might be able to stop kids from not wanting to go to school,” said Makiko Nakamuro, a professor from Keio University and an expert on education.(“通过使用真实信息，我们或许能够阻止孩子们不愿意上学的问题，”来自庆应义塾大学的教育专家Makiko Nakamuro教授说道)”可知，Makiko Nakamuro认为通过使用真实的信息，我们可能能够阻止孩子们不想上学，由此可推知，Makiko Nakamuro对人工智能系统的态度是支持的。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。 Developing a good personality is good for you.

However, there was one class Ella worried about more than any other class-art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t good at drawing, painting, or cutting. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t seem to master the skills. Ms. Amanda, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to hold an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Amanda was a great teacher, and Ella liked her a lot. But this announcement made Ella nervous. “Everyone in the school will have to create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Amanda was quite excited when she spoke while Ella found herself sinking lower in her chair. Ella had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. As Friday drew near, Ella felt frightened. She knew she couldn’t draw or paint well enough to make something that would stand out. So after school Ella asked Ms. Amanda if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Ella,” Ms. Amanda said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Amanda smiled at her: “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings. It isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.” Ella finally decided to face her fears and give it a try. When Ella arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Amanda’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Ella wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled (揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Ella stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Why not create something out of crumpled paper? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Friday, Ella carefully carried her project into the library. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Why not create something out of crumpled paper? The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball. Ella didn’t have to draw or paint or even cut. Ella made many paper balls, glued them all together, and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper. Her finished project was really wonderful. On Friday, Ella carefully carried her project into the library. She noticed the smile and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table. Ms. Amanda walked over to Ella. “You have created a creative piece of artwork. I am so proud of you!” Ms. Amanda said. Ella was proud of herself too. Her pride grew when Ms. Amanda placed a first-place star on her artwork. “Maybe I am a good artist after all,” Ella thought. 【解析】 【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ella喜欢学校。然而，有一门课是Ella最担心的——艺术。她不擅长绘画或者剪纸。美术老师Ms. Amanda宣布学校要举行一场艺术比赛，这个声明让Ella很紧张。所以放学后Ella问Amanda女士，她是否可以写一篇艺术论文，老师鼓励她按照自己的想法去做，她有了一个主意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“为什么不用皱巴巴的纸来做东西呢？”可知，第一段可描写Lily这个想法的具体内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“星期五，Ella小心翼翼地把她的项目带进了图书馆。”可知，第二段可描写Lily的作品受到了好评。 2.续写线索：想起做雪球——完成项目——老师和同学表扬——感到骄傲 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①让某人想起：remind sb. of sth./make sb. think of ②完成：finish/complete ③注意：notice/spot 情绪类 ①微笑：smile/beam ②以……为骄傲：take pride in/be proud of 【点睛】[高分句型1] The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper.（made of为过去分词短语作后置定语） [高分句型2] She noticed the smile and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table.（as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湟中一中2024-2025学年第一学期第二次月考 高一英语试卷 （时间：120分钟 总分：150分） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why did Tom come back?

I didn’t know how important studying would be, and I didn’t have any plans for what I wanted to do later in life. My friend, Alex, saw that I wasn’t really into school. One day, after a boring science class, he talked to me. “You can do better,” he said seriously. “You just need to put in some effort.” His words made me think. I started to focus more in class, trying to really understand what the teachers were saying. Alex and I would study together, and he would help me with the difficult parts. Gradually (逐渐地), things that I didn’t make sense before started to click. One day, while we were working on a science problem, I had a moment of understanding. I realized that learning is not just about getting good marks; it’s about exploring new ideas and enjoying the challenge of solving problems. It was great to make things out. As time went by, my grades got better, and so did my attitude towards school. I started to think about what I wanted to do when I grew up and made plans for college. I understood that high school was a chance to get ready for my dreams. Now, I’m thankful for that moment when I realized how important learning is and for Alex’s help. It showed me that school is a place to discover what you love and to work towards your goals. I look forward to each day, knowing that every bit of learning brings me closer to becoming the person I want to be. 24. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. He was excited and ready. B. He made no plans for future. C. He played an adventurous game. D. He wanted to challenge himself. 25. What did Alex do to help the author? A. He gave the author extra homework. B. He made science classes more interesting. C. He encouraged the author to work harder. D. He made efforts to change the author’s interest. 26. What made the author see the value of learning? A. Getting a high mark. B. A talk with a teacher. C. Visiting an ideal college. D. Solving a science problem. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. The Journey to Loving Learning B. The Importance of Studying Hard C. Discovering a New Learning Method D. Developing a Lifelong Friendship C Children should do housework. That’s a controversial (有争议的) idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign (分派) housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn’t get done. That’s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being. One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor (预测) for young adults’ success in their mid-20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. But for all that their help matters few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids “more responsible”. Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework. Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance. What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you’re doing it right. Can a payment help? Maybe. But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message. 28. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. Very few children get housework done. B. Children are very busy with housework. C. Housework is a must-do for parents. D. Family members should respect each other. 29. What is found in the small study? A. Housework helps a man live a happy life. B. A man’s success depends on his housework. C. Housework benefits a sense of responsibility. D. A child must start doing housework at Age 3. 30. What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph? A. Balance housework and study. B. Help the child do housework positively. C Do housework by themselves. D. Pay the child for housework. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Adults Do Less Housework in the US B. Housework Matters to Children. C. Parents Words Speak Louder D. Children Need More Care at Home D A Japanese city is using AI (人工智能) to help with the problem of kids not wanting to go to school. They look at students’ information to see who might stop coming because of worries, being bullied (欺凌), or other problems. In a city near Tokyo, they tested an Al system for a year. They wanted to help teachers find students who are having a hard time. In Japan, more and more kids are not going to school for a long time. In 2022, almost 300,000 kids didn’t go to school for 30 days or more. The AI system looks at things like how often kids go to school, how well they do in school, and if they are healthy. It also looks at if they visit the school nurse a lot or if there are reports about them being bullied. The system then uses past data (数据) to see how likely it is that a student will stop going to school. It gives each student a color, from red (highest risk) to yellow (lowest risk). In the test, the program said 1,193 students were at high risk. Teachers decided that 265 of them needed help right away. To keep kids’ information safe, the city made rules about how to use the data and not to treat students unfairly because of the AI’s predictions (预测). They also told parents they could say no to using their kids’ data. Only important people in the school, like headmasters, could see the results. “By using real information, we might be able to stop kids from not wanting to go to school,” said Makiko Nakamuro, a professor from Keio University and an expert on education. “But we have to think really hard about keeping their data safe by telling them clearly why and how we use their information,” she also said. 32. What is the main purpose of using AI in the Japanese city? A. To improve students’ scores. B. To study students’ health conditions. C. To make bullying problems happen less in schools. D. To find students at risk of not attending school. 33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The job of school nurses. B. How the AI system checks kids’ health. C. The main focus of the AI system. D. Why students need better education. 34 How did the city protect students’ information? A. Make strict rules about data using. B. Hide all the data after testing. C. Give up using their real information. D. Send the result only to their parents. 35. What is Makiko Nakamuro’s attitude towards the AI system? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Anxious. D. Confused. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。 Developing a good personality is good for you. How can you achieve it?

However, there was one class Ella worried about more than any other class-art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t good at drawing, painting, or cutting. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t seem to master the skills. Ms. Amanda, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to hold an art competition,” she announced. Ms. Amanda was a great teacher, and Ella liked her a lot. But this announcement made Ella nervous. “Everyone in the school will have to create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Amanda was quite excited when she spoke while Ella found herself sinking lower in her chair. Ella had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. As Friday drew near, Ella felt frightened. She knew she couldn’t draw or paint well enough to make something that would stand out. So after school Ella asked Ms. Amanda if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Ella,” Ms. Amanda said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Amanda smiled at her: “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings. It isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.” Ella finally decided to face her fears and give it a try. When Ella arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Amanda’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Ella wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled (揉皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Ella stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Why not create something out of crumpled paper? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Friday, Ella carefully carried her project into the library. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
