Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the country's overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.
Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country's economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.
To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.
Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.
Yet the professors' research doesn't include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.
No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.
4. How does the author introduce the problem of student loan?
A. By making a comparison. B. By making classifications.
C. By presenting some statistics. D. By setting down general rules.
5. What can we learn about student loan debt relief?
A. It will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.
B. It has already been carried out in the United States.
C. It aims to encourage more students to borrow money.
D. It will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.
6. What is the professors' attitude to debt forgiveness?
A. Uncaring. B. Positive.
C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.
7. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide.
B. Growing global student debt fuels search for solutions.
C. Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.
D. People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.
While it is known that parents control the dietary choices of their children during early childhood, the increasing independence experienced during adolescence brings with it more freedom when it comes to food choices. This time of life also brings enormous physical and emotional changes in a young person, which is often associated with an increase in comfort eating, or eating as a means to relieve stress. A recent study investigates how various feeding practices used by parents impact the emotional eating behavior of adolescents.
The initial study was conducted in 2017 with 218 families. Additionally data collected in 2013 were also available. One parent from each family completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire, as well as the Child Feeding Practices Questionnaire, and both adolescent and parent completed the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. The adolescent’s body weight and height were measured by researchers. The four years between 2013 — 2017 covered the years from late childhood to mid-teens.
The study found that when parents used food as a reward, or restricted and monitored an adolescent’s access to food, this was associated with an increased tendency by the adolescent to use emotional eating as a strategy to deal with their emotions. On the other hand, involving a child in meal preparations had the opposite effect — it was associated with higher levels of emotional regulation and lower levels of emotional eating in the adolescent participants.
Additionally, the researchers found a negative link between the extent to which parents restrained (克制) their own eating behavior and the use of emotional eating by their adolescent children. This means that the more a parent limited his or her own consumption of food for the purpose of health or dietary goals, the less the adolescent child used emotional eating as a means of regulating his or her own emotions.
According to study lead author Joanna Klosowska, restrictive parenting was most damaging, whereas restrained eating by the parent seemed to be the most beneficial. “Additional research is required to understand the way in which restrained eating demonstrated by a parent impacts the emotional eating of a child,” said Klosowska.
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Parents’ dietary choice. B. Parents’ eating behavior.
C. Children’s way of relieving stress. D. Children’s increasing independence.
9 What did the researchers do in the study?
A. They studied parents’ body weight and height.
B. They investigated children’s eating behaviors.
C. They interviewed parents about their emotional health.
D. They assessed parents’ understanding of children’s care needs.
10. What did the study find?
A. Restrained eating by parents is bad for their children.
B. Emotional eating by teens is influenced by their parents.
C. Parents seldom engage their children in family meal preparations.
D. Using food as a reward can help children form good eating habits.
11. What will future research focus on according to Klosowska?
A. Factors resulting in parents’ and adolescents’ food choices.
B. The underlying logic behind parents’ restrictive parenting.
C. What effect emotional eating can generate on children’s health.
D. How parents’ restrained eating influences children’s emotional eating.
Space exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human innovation struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.
In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade's end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated(共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had turned out concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up conflicting with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely practical and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is actually unrealistic in its aims.
When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised(妥协) space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The endless argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Among the current concerns about the federal deficit (赤字), reaching toward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury---as if saving one-thousandth of a single year's budget would solve our problems.
But human innovation struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic devices that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are designing a bottom-up attack on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.
The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us---not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed on each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can get over what were once considered inborn limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, healthcare. Tomorrow we will overcome these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.
12. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that _________.
A. imagination is the mother of invention
B. creativity is essential to science fiction writers
C. it takes patience for humans to realize their dreams
D. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction
13. Concerning the dreams of Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. They symbolized human beings' confidence in achievements.
B. They brought about dramatic changes in American society.
C. They are in complete conflict with each other.
D. They both sounded very much unrealistic to Americans.
14. Which of the following does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Space shuttle program is too dangerous for Americans to carry on.
B. The tight budget is to blame for the unsuccessful space program.
C. More problems on Earth call for our immediate attention.
D. Space program, necessary to the national dream, should be continued.
15. What does the author think of the problems facing human beings?
A. They pose a serious challenge to future human existence.
B. They can be solved sooner or later with human innovation.
C. Their solutions need joint efforts of the public and private sectors.
D. They can only be solved by people who are intelligently superior.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整故事。
On Friday evening, Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled. After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie.
When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat.
I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave.
When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape. With the cape around him, he could completely disappear.
I crawled back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!”
“ Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints.
“ Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.
“ Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me.
“ Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink.
“Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.”
“Shhhh!” everyone said again.
“OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out.
“Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade.

I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了学生债务成全球性问题,各国都在寻求解决方案。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“In America, the country's overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.”可知,在美国,2019年全国学生债务总额达到了创纪录的1.6万亿美元。平均每个学生的助学贷款在2万到2.5万美元之间。日本政府最近的一份报告说,自2010年以来,日本每年向学生发放的贷款已经超过90亿美元。非洲和南美洲也存在类似的情况。所以判断出作者通过展示一些统计数据介绍学生贷款的问题。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第三段“They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.”可知,他们发现,总的来说,突然的债务减免极大地改善了借款人的生活。他们不仅有更多的钱,而且更有可能搬到一个新的地区,寻找更高收入的工作。所以债务减免肯定会给借款人带来一些好处。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.可知,教授们认为免除学生债务是有好处的,这大大改善借款人的生活,他们不仅有更多的钱,而且更有可能搬到一个新的地区,寻找薪水更高的工作。再根据第五段中Yet the professors’ research doesn’t include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects.可知,他们的研究不包括如果完全免除债务,金融机构或整个经济可能会发生什么。它只着眼于债务免除将如何帮助借款人。他们警告说,还有其他一些可能的负面影响。由此判断出,教授们对债务免除的态度是谨慎的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem.”学生贷款债务已经成为一个世界性的问题。由第三段“To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.”为了解决这个问题,许多国家都在寻找解决方案。所以短文主要是关于不断增长的全球学生债务促使各国寻找解决方案。故选B项。
While it is known that parents control the dietary choices of their children during early childhood, the increasing independence experienced during adolescence brings with it more freedom when it comes to food choices. This time of life also brings enormous physical and emotional changes in a young person, which is often associated with an increase in comfort eating, or eating as a means to relieve stress. A recent study investigates how various feeding practices used by parents impact the emotional eating behavior of adolescents.
The initial study was conducted in 2017 with 218 families. Additionally, data collected in 2013 were also available. One parent from each family completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire, as well as the Child Feeding Practices Questionnaire, and both adolescent and parent completed the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. The adolescent’s body weight and height were measured by researchers. The four years between 2013 — 2017 covered the years from late childhood to mid-teens.
The study found that when parents used food as a reward, or restricted and monitored an adolescent’s access to food, this was associated with an increased tendency by the adolescent to use emotional eating as a strategy to deal with their emotions. On the other hand, involving a child in meal preparations had the opposite effect — it was associated with higher levels of emotional regulation and lower levels of emotional eating in the adolescent participants.
Additionally, the researchers found a negative link between the extent to which parents restrained (克制) their own eating behavior and the use of emotional eating by their adolescent children. This means that the more a parent limited his or her own consumption of food for the purpose of health or dietary goals, the less the adolescent child used emotional eating as a means of regulating his or her own emotions.
According to study lead author Joanna Klosowska, restrictive parenting was most damaging, whereas restrained eating by the parent seemed to be the most beneficial. “Additional research is required to understand the way in which restrained eating demonstrated by a parent impacts the emotional eating of a child,” said Klosowska.
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Parents’ dietary choice. B. Parents’ eating behavior.
C. Children’s way of relieving stress. D. Children’s increasing independence.
9. What did the researchers do in the study?
A. They studied parents’ body weight and height.
B. They investigated children’s eating behaviors.
C. They interviewed parents about their emotional health.
D. They assessed parents’ understanding of children’s care needs.
10. What did the study find?
A. Restrained eating by parents is bad for their children.
B. Emotional eating by teens is influenced by their parents.
C. Parents seldom engage their children in family meal preparations.
D. Using food as a reward can help children form good eating habits.
11. What will future research focus on according to Klosowska?
A. Factors resulting in parents’ and adolescents’ food choices.
B. The underlying logic behind parents’ restrictive parenting.
C. What effect emotional eating can generate on children’s health.
D. How parents’ restrained eating influences children’s emotional eating.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了调查父母喂养方法对青少年情绪化饮食行为影响的研究,该研究发现,当父母使用食物作为奖励或限制监控食物获取时,青少年更可能采用情绪化进食来应对情绪。相反,让孩子参与准备饭菜则有助于提高情绪调节能力并减少情绪化进食。此外,父母控制自己饮食的程度与青少年情绪化进食呈负相关。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“While it is known that parents control the dietary choices of their children during early childhood, the increasing independence experienced during adolescence brings with it more freedom when it comes to food choices. (众所周知,在儿童早期,父母会控制孩子的饮食选择,而在青春期,随着孩子越来越独立,他们在选择食物时也会有更多的自由)”可知,it作介词with的宾语,表示“随着它”,it指代的是前面提到的the increasing independence experienced during adolescence,即青春期阶段(孩子)逐渐独立的经历,表示随着这一经历的发展,孩子会有更多选择食物的自由。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One parent from each family completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire, as well as the Child Feeding Practices Questionnaire, and both adolescent and parent completed the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. (来自每个家庭的一位家长完成了儿童喂养问卷和儿童喂养实践问卷,青少年和家长都完成了荷兰饮食行为问卷)”可知,研究者在这一研究中通过问卷收集信息,调查孩子的饮食行为。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The study found that when parents used food as a reward, or restricted and monitored an adolescent’s access to food, this was associated with an increased tendency by the adolescent to use emotional eating as a strategy to deal with their emotions.(研究发现,当父母用食物作为奖励,或者限制和监控青少年获取食物时,青少年更倾向于将情绪化进食作为一种应对情绪的策略)”及第四段“Additionally, the researchers found a negative link between the extent to which parents restrained (克制) their own eating behavior and the use of emotional eating by their adolescent children. This means that the more a parent limited his or her own consumption of food for the purpose of health or dietary goals, the less the adolescent child used emotional eating as a means of regulating his or her own emotions. (此外,研究人员还发现,父母控制自己饮食行为的程度与青少年子女情绪化进食之间存在负相关。这意味着父母越是为了健康或饮食目标而限制自己的食物摄入量,青春期的孩子就越不会把情绪化进食作为调节自己情绪的一种手段)”可推知,该研究发现青少年情绪化进食受到父母的影响。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Klosowska所说的话“Additional research is required to understand the way in which restrained eating demonstrated by a parent impacts the emotional eating of a child (需要更多的研究来了解父母节制饮食对孩子情绪化饮食的影响)”可知,Klosowska认为未来的研究将关注父母节制饮食对儿童情绪化饮食的影响。故选D项。
Space exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human innovation struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.
In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade's end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated(共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had turned out concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up conflicting with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely practical and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is actually unrealistic in its aims.
When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised(妥协) space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The endless argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Among the current concerns about the federal deficit (赤字), reaching toward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury---as if saving one-thousandth of a single year's budget would solve our problems.
But human innovation struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic devices that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are designing a bottom-up attack on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.
The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us---not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed on each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can get over what were once considered inborn limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, healthcare. Tomorrow we will overcome these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.
12. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that _________.
A. imagination is the mother of invention
B. creativity is essential to science fiction writers
C. it takes patience for humans to realize their dreams
D. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction
13. Concerning the dreams of Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. They symbolized human beings' confidence in achievements.
B. They brought about dramatic changes in American society.
C. They are in complete conflict with each other.
D. They both sounded very much unrealistic to Americans.
14. Which of the following does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Space shuttle program is too dangerous for Americans to carry on.
B. The tight budget is to blame for the unsuccessful space program.
C. More problems on Earth call for our immediate attention.
D. Space program, necessary to the national dream, should be continued.
15. What does the author think of the problems facing human beings?
A. They pose a serious challenge to future human existence.
B. They can be solved sooner or later with human innovation.
C. Their solutions need joint efforts of the public and private sectors.
D. They can only be solved by people who are intelligently superior.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。太空探索是人类很早之前的梦想。本文提到世界各国的科学家一直在这个道路上进行探索。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段“pace exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human innovation struggles to follow.”( 太空探索一直是梦想者的领域:人类的想象力在人类的聪明才智努力追寻的地方迅速腾飞。)指出,人类想象力冲劲十足,而创造力紧随其后把其变为现实。随后以Cyrano de Bergerac为例说明这一点,他逝世三年后,人类才发射了第一枚人造火箭。但他生前就已经写了《登月之旅》这部科幻小说。所以想象力先于创造力,是创造力之母。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up conflicting with each other.”(然而,在许多方面,这两个梦想最终相互冲突。)可知,这两个梦想在很多方面互相冲突,后面列举了一些冲突的方面。但选项C. They are in complete conflict with each other.(他们彼此完全冲突),和原文是不一样的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。第三段提到因为资金紧张,航天计划当时没有继续下去。并且用反语说到“as if saving one-thousandth of a single year's budget would solve our problems.”( 好像节省一年预算的千分之一就能解决我们的问题。),并且说到地球上还有更紧迫的问题。但我们从最后一段首句“The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us-”(太空梦想家最终使我们所有人受益)可知,作者对太空梦想的益处是肯定的。所以在第三段是暗示我们太空计划是实现国家梦想的必要条件,应该继续下去。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段“Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, healthcare. Tomorrow we will overcome these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.”( 今天,我们面临着能源、环境和医疗方面的挑战。明天我们也将克服这些困难,梦想者应该得到很多荣誉。我们收集的证据越多,证明我们的物种有能力成为伟人,我们就越能真正做到这一点。)可以看出,对于人类面对的问题,作者认为人类的创新迟早会解决这些问题。故选B项。
【点睛】阅读理解解题步骤:首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意。因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料。其次,细读题材,各个击破。掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息。要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性。对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到准确。如本文第一题,由人名Cyrano de Bergerac我们迅速定位,然后根据原文辨别选项,很容易判断正确答案。

考查动词时态。句意:来自米兰附近亚历山德里亚的费齐亚于2000年搬到上海。and连接两个并列的谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2000可知,句子表示的是过去发生的动作,move应用一般过去时,故填moved。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:自 1979 年以来,上海和米兰一直是中意两国的第一对友好城市。根据时间状语 Since 1979 可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响,应用现在完成时,主语是Shanghai and Milan,故填have been。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这种友谊尤其通过双方的共同努力得到了加强。enhanced是动词,应用副词修饰,particular的副词形式是particularly,故填particularly。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:比如通过上海和米兰的组委会之间的合作协议,成功举办了2010年上海世博会和2015年米兰世博会。agreement 是可数名词,作宾语,因此处为泛指,应用复数形式,故填agreements。

七、读后续写(共1小题)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
On Friday evening, Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled. After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie.
When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat.
I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave.
When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape. With the cape around him, he could completely disappear.
I crawled back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!”
“ Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints.
“ Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.
“ Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me.
“ Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink.
“Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.”
“Shhhh!” everyone said again.
“OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out.
“Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said.
注意:
1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade.

Paragraph 2:
I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade. I bought a lemonade, took a deep breath, and went back. This time, I bent low, looking at every person on the end of each row. When I saw the same boy, I moved through fast to get back to that girl. Unfortunately, I stepped on a boy’s feet and banged my knee. After apologizing to him, I quickly fell into the seat next to the girl and handed her the lemonade. Everyone around us all turned to stare at me again with some complaints.
Paragraph 2
I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t. Maybe I would just stay there until the movie ended. Thanking me for the lemonade, the girl talked about the plots I missed. I whispered back, “Thanks.” When the lights of the cinema came on, I grabbed my jacket on the seat and hurried out. Emmett caught up with me, “Do you know that girl? “No.” I answered. “Then why do you have her jacket?” I looked down and found a bright pink jacket. “Here I go again,” I said with embarrassment, spotting the girl in the crowd.
