She was divorced and had three kids under age 7 when she was 33, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I didn’t know how I was going to pay that bill,” Mangano says. But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop (用拖把擦干净) the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, there’s gotta be a better way.” How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markets. Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷) buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.” So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.” Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.” 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Mangano’s small home. B. Mangano’s work experience. C. Mangano’s unhappy marriage. D. Mangano’s hard living conditions. 5. Mangano sold the mop successfully with the help of ______. A. HSN B. QVC C. couch potatoes D. experts on shopping TV 6. What does Mangano think of her invention? A. Unsatisfactory. B. Unnecessary. C. Normal. D. Special. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience. B. The experts on shopping TV were confident about Mangano’s mop. C. Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family. D. HSN is a business organization that doesn’t sell goods on the Internet. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Joy Mangano从一个面临经济困境的单亲妈妈，凭借自己的发明才能和对生活的观察，成功创造出“自动拧干”拖把，并通过自己的努力和坚持，最终成为一位成功的发明家和商业领袖的故事。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“She was divorced and had three kids under age 7 when she was 33, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I didn’t know how I was going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.(33岁时，她离了婚，带着三个年龄都不满7岁的孩子，靠做服务员加班赚来的钱勉强维持着那座两居室的小家。“有时候，我会躺在床上想，我不知道要怎么支付那些账单，”Mangano说。)”可知，第一段主要描述了Mangano当时艰难的生活条件。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”(于是，QVC——一家专门从事电视家庭购物的跨国公司，给了她一个机会。“我上台后，电话铃声响个不停。几分钟内，我们就把所有的拖把都卖光了。”)”可知，是QVC给了Mangano一个机会，让她有机会在镜头前展示并成功销售了拖把。因此，是QVC帮助了Mangano成功销售了拖把。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.”(谈到这项家用发明时，Mangano说：“对我来说，谈论这项发明就像父母谈论他们的孩子一样自然。”。)”可知，Mangano对自己的发明有着深厚的感情，就像父母对自己的孩子一样自然和亲切，这反映出她认为这项发明是很普通的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop (用拖把擦干净) the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, there’s gotta be a better way.”(但她有一种特别的能力，能看到显而易见的东西。她深知拖地有多辛苦。“我厌倦了弯腰，把手伸进脏水里，再拧干拖把，”Mangano说，“所以，一定有更好的方法。”)”可知，Mangano从自己的拖地经历中得到了自动拧干拖把的想法。故选A。 C Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls’ schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls’ Day School Trust(GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure. “All girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise,” Ms. Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms. Fraser will tell the group that she supports “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond,” she says. The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests. Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports. Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey.” said Ms. Dunsford. 8. Which of the following ideas would Ms. Fraser agree with? A. Boys are born to be sport lovers. B. Girls are less confident than boys. C. More should be done to make girls do sports. D. Those taking part in the sport are always successes. 9. What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise? A. 1/10. B. 1/5. C. 1/4. D. 2/5. 10. Ms. Fraser mentions those famous women to show__________. A. hard work will pay off B. it’s not easy to be great C. sport can help girls to succeed D. it’s necessary to balance work and sport 11. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To explain the key to success. B. To show the importance of sport. C. To introduce more sports to girls. D. To encourage more girls to do sports. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了女子日间学校信托的主任Helen Fraser指出体育可以帮助女孩应对失败，她通过提到那些的著名女性来表明运动可以帮助女孩成功，鼓励人们多为让女孩做运动付出努力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues.(她认为，关于女孩远不如男孩活跃的研究令人担忧)”以及倒数第二段中“Ms. Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports. (Fraser说，像Jessica Ennis和Katherine Grainger这样的奥运奖牌获得者是年轻女性的优秀榜样，但她说，女子体育需要更多资金和更多的新闻报道)”可知，C选项“应该做更多的事情来让女孩做运动”的观点Fraser女士会认同。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests.(研究表明，五分之一的女孩完全不运动，是男孩比例的两倍)”可知，从不锻炼的男孩的比例是1/10。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women's sport needs more money and more news reports.( Fraser女士说，其他研究表明，超过80%的女性商界领袖在成长过程中都参加过体育运动。她引用了美国前国务卿Condoleezza Rice和法国国家游泳队成员、国际货币基金组织总裁Christine Lagarde的例子。Rice曾是一名滑冰运动员和网球运动员。Fraser说，像Jessica Ennis和Katherine Grainger这样的奥运奖牌获得者是年轻女性的优秀榜样，但她说，女子体育需要更多资金和更多的新闻报道)”可推知，Fraser女士提到那些著名女性来表明运动可以帮助女孩成功。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls’ schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls' Day School Trust(GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure.(女孩们应该参加竞技体育来建立信心，一组女子学校的领导人将在本周进行辩论。女子日间学校信托的主任Helen Fraser将告诉该组织，体育可以帮助女孩应对失败)”结合文章主要说明了女子日间学校信托的主任Helen Fraser指出体育可以帮助女孩应对失败，她通过提到那些的著名女性来表明运动可以帮助女孩成功，鼓励人们多为让女孩做运动付出努力。可推知，这篇文章的目的是鼓励更多的女孩做运动。故选D。 D Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of regular glasses, The film is inexpensive to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark. This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光), normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can see. Compared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices (设备) have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control. Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the beat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device. Their new device is able to function at room temperature. As the new technology is unlike the traditional devices, it has many future uses. Once this new night vision is available to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlit roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark. The inventors are excited to make the practical application. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,” said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology. 12. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph? A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce. C. It helps us see in the dark. D. It looks like regular glasses. 13. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Clear B. Poor. C. Amazing. D. Effective. 14. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen’s words? A. It needs to be further developed B. It has been available to common people. C. It is not exciting enough to scientists. D. It has become a hit in the experiment. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Exciting Technology Makes the Invisible Visible B. Several Ways Make People See Things More Clearly C. The Technology Is Developing Very Quickly D Infrared Devices Are Very Useful In the Dark 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一种新科技，这种新科技能够将通常情况下人们所看不到的红外光转化为人们能看到的物象。在这种新科技的帮助下，人们可以在黑暗中视物良好。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark.”(然而，尽管它体积很小，但它的表现却令人印象深刻，这种特殊的薄膜能够让你在黑暗中看到东西。)可知这种薄膜能够帮助人们在黑暗中看到东西。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段的第一句话“This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光), normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can see.”(这种新科技能够将通常情况下人们所看不到的红外光转化为人们能看到的物象。)可知通常情况人们看不到红外光。根据文章第二段的最后一句话中“Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras”(科学家可以通过红外摄像机，来研究夜间活动的动物)可知人们需要红外摄像机来帮助研究夜间活动的动物，说明没有红外摄像机的帮忙人们很难用肉眼直接研究夜间的动物，表面人在黑暗中视物能力弱。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all.”(虽然这是第一次实验，但我们正积极努力，进一步改善这项技术。当然，它的许多用途是令人兴奋的，在黑暗中看到东西为每个人打开一个新的世界。)可知研究者正在积极努力改善这一技术，说明这一技术还不完善，需要进一步研发和改善。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段的第一句和第二句“Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology.”(想象一下能在黑暗中看得很清楚，多亏了一项新开发的技术，这个梦想变成了现实。)和第二段的第一句话“This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光), normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can see.” (这种新科技能够将通常情况下人们所看不到的红外光转化为人们能看到的物象。)以及最后一段第一句话“The inventors are excited to make the practical application.” (发明家为将其应用于实际，而感到兴奋。)可知，文章主要介绍了一种令人兴奋的新科技，在这种新科技的帮助下，人们可以在黑暗中看到通常情况下肉眼看不到的东西。故选A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。 Besides summer break, the best time of the year for most students is spring break.

Meg put on her uniform, ate breakfast and headed out the door. She skipped to school, then when she got close to the gate, she walked normally. She wouldn’t want the students there to think that she skipped like a child. Meg didn’t like attention. The first bell rang and everyone ran to class. Mrs Hillary handed out the test papers and gave everyone an hour to finish it. Meg smiled, quickly answering each question, and finished in the first 15 minutes. Everyone, including Mrs Hillary, was shocked. Meg felt proud that she now earned a place in her new school. The hour ended and Mrs Hillary announced that she would collect the test papers the next day. Most of them felt great, because they didn’t finish their papers. When Meg was going to bed that evening, she looked for her test paper. She wanted to make sure it was inside her bag so the next day she wouldn’t need to rush. Frightened, she couldn’t find her test paper. She searched under her table, on her table, in the living room, under her bed, but still, no sign of her test paper. Her hopes were gone now. Even after what happened in class today, everyone would think that she was lazy. Meg needed to think of an excuse, fast. “Maybe,” Meg thought with a frown, “I could say that a UFO came to visit my mom and it blew everything away. No, that’s too fictional. Or maybe, my dog ate my test paper. No, that’s too classic, plus, I don’t even have a dog. Or, my mom accidentally threw it in the bin, because she thought it was trash. Yeah, that’s good.” 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。 The next day was Wednesday, and Meg decided to go and see Mrs Hillary early. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs Hillary didn’t blame Meg, just telling her to be careful next time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day was Wednesday, and Meg decided to go and see Mrs Hillary early. When she entered the teacher’s office, Mrs Hillary was correcting the homework carefully. Approaching the teacher, Meg could feel her heart beating faster and faster. So nervous was she that her legs kept shaking. Mrs Hillary asked her gently what happened. Hesitating for a moment, Meg said, “I’m sorry, Mrs Hillary. I can’t hand in my test paper because my mom accidentally threw it in the bin last night.” Mrs Hillary didn’t blame Meg, just telling her to be careful next time. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the office. On the way back to class, She thought a lot. The teacher’s comfort and gentleness made Meg feel ashamed of what she had done. “What a dishonest child I was!” she thought, “I betrayed the trust of Mrs Hillary.” Thinking of this, she decided to tell Mrs Hillary the truth at once. Finally, Meg admitted her mistake and won the teacher’s forgiveness and praise. She also realized that honesty is the most valuable quality. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了Meg在新学校上课的第二天，遇到了老师的随堂测试，Meg很快完成了试卷，但老师为了给大家足够的时间完成，决定第二天才收试卷。Meg回到家后却发现自己的试卷丢失了，便决定找理由应付老师的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天是星期三，Meg决定早点去见Hillary老师。”可知，第一段可描写Meg向老师撒谎，说试卷被妈妈扔进垃圾桶的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“Hillary老师没有责怪Meg，只是告诉她下次要小心。”可知，第二段可描写Meg感到懊悔，决定向老师坦白真相。 2.续写线索：撒谎——紧张——老师安慰——感到后悔——承认错误——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/walk in ②接近，靠近：approach/come up to ③上交：hand in/give in 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/tense ②羞愧的：ashamed/humiliated/guilty 【点睛】[高分句型1] When she entered the teacher’s office, Mrs Hillary was correcting the homework carefully.（运用when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Mrs Hillary asked her gently what happened.（运用what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年第一学期高二年级期中考试 英语试题 考生注意： 1．满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2b铅笔把答题卡上对 应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3．本卷命题范围：选择性必修第一册Unit4 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.

She was divorced and had three kids under age 7 when she was 33, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I didn’t know how I was going to pay that bill,” Mangano says. But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop (用拖把擦干净) the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, there’s gotta be a better way.” How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markets. Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷) buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.” So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.” Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.” 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Mangano’s small home. B. Mangano’s work experience. C. Mangano’s unhappy marriage. D. Mangano’s hard living conditions. 5. Mangano sold the mop successfully with the help of ______. A. HSN B. QVC C. couch potatoes D. experts on shopping TV 6. What does Mangano think of her invention? A. Unsatisfactory. B. Unnecessary. C. Normal. D. Special. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience. B. The experts on shopping TV were confident about Mangano’s mop. C. Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family. D. HSN is a business organization that doesn’t sell goods on the Internet. C Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls’ schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls’ Day School Trust(GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure. “All girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise,” Ms. Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms. Fraser will tell the group that she supports “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond,” she says. The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests. Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports. Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey.” said Ms. Dunsford. 8. Which of the following ideas would Ms. Fraser agree with? A. Boys are born to be sport lovers. B. Girls are less confident than boys. C. More should be done to make girls do sports. D. Those taking part in the sport are always successes. 9. What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise? A. 1/10. B. 1/5. C. 1/4. D. 2/5. 10. Ms. Fraser mentions those famous women to show__________. A. hard work will pay off B. it’s not easy to be great C. sport can help girls to succeed D. it’s necessary to balance work and sport 11. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To explain the key to success. B. To show the importance of sport. C. To introduce more sports to girls. D. To encourage more girls to do sports. D Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of regular glasses The film is inexpensive to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark. This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光) normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can see. Compared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices (设备) have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control. Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the beat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device. Their new device is able to function at room temperature. As the new technology is unlike the traditional devices, it has many future uses. Once this new night vision is available to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlit roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark. The inventors are excited to make the practical application. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,” said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology. 12. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph? A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce. C. It helps us see in the dark. D. It looks like regular glasses. 13. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Clear B. Poor. C. Amazing. D. Effective. 14. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen’s words? A. It needs to be further developed B. It has been available to common people. C. It is not exciting enough to scientists. D. It has become a hit in the experiment. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Exciting Technology Makes the Invisible Visible B. Several Ways Make People See Things More Clearly C. The Technology Is Developing Very Quickly D. Infrared Devices Are Very Useful In the Dark 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。 Besides summer break, the best time of the year for most students is spring break.

She had a feeling that it was going to be a good day. Meg put on her uniform, ate breakfast and headed out the door. She skipped to school, then when she got close to the gate, she walked normally. She wouldn’t want the students there to think that she skipped like a child. Meg didn’t like attention. The first bell rang and everyone ran to class. Mrs Hillary handed out the test papers and gave everyone an hour to finish it. Meg smiled, quickly answering each question, and finished in the first 15 minutes. Everyone, including Mrs Hillary, was shocked. Meg felt proud that she now earned a place in her new school. The hour ended and Mrs Hillary announced that she would collect the test papers the next day. Most of them felt great, because they didn’t finish their papers. When Meg was going to bed that evening, she looked for her test paper. She wanted to make sure it was inside her bag so the next day she wouldn’t need to rush. Frightened, she couldn’t find her test paper. She searched under her table, on her table, in the living room, under her bed, but still, no sign of her test paper. Her hopes were gone now. Even after what happened in class today, everyone would think that she was lazy. Meg needed to think of an excuse, fast. “Maybe,” Meg thought with a frown, “I could say that a UFO came to visit my mom and it blew everything away. No, that’s too fictional. Or maybe, my dog ate my test paper. No, that’s too classic, plus, I don’t even have a dog. Or, my mom accidentally threw it in the bin, because she thought it was trash. Yeah, that’s good.” 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。 The next day was Wednesday, and Meg decided to go and see Mrs Hillary early. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs Hillary didn’t blame Meg, just telling her to be careful next time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
