Going out for afternoon tea was fun, and I always did that with my friends. And I really love the old buildings. We don’t have anything that old in the United States, so it is pretty amazing! By the way, I also went to Australia once. The buildings there aren’t so attractive either. The British also have a different sense of humor. Their comedy shows on TV are really funny. I’d like to say my experience was a positive one. In fact, I’m saving up money so I can go back there again. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Of the top 10 most expensive rail construction projects starting in 2022, five are located in Asia.

Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep. Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably. “How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said.“ Your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.” I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.” The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at it? Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven. 24. Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2? A. To show parental impact on children’s passion. B. To suggest hobbies always start from the small. C. To highlight the importance of diverse experiences. D. To prove true passion usually arises from the reward. 25. What do the underlined words “adding dimensions to” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Setting an example for. B. Broadening the horizons of. C. Providing attentive care for. D. Narrowing the possibilities of. 26. What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with? A. Stability in upbringing builds confidence. B. Parenting styles requires professional guidance. C. Childhood experience determines adult happiness. D. One’s personality is related to childhood experiences. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The author is always addicted to shooting stars. B. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to motivate kids. C. The author will go to see shooting stars with his son. D. It is impossible to unlock kids’ potential without eagerness. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经因为父亲带他看美丽的流星而久久不能忘怀，作者认为像父亲这样有非凡“天赋”的父母，能够为孩子们打开一扇门，带领他们进入辉煌的新领域。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句话“This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. (这种为孩子增加维度的艺术带来了回报：当火花爆发成火焰的奇妙时刻，总有一天会自行燃烧)”以及倒数三句话““How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said.“ Your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”(“你对高尔夫感兴趣多久了?”有人问。“这是我九岁生日的礼物，”她说。“你父亲给了你一套球杆?”“不，”她说，“是他给了我高尔夫。”)”可知，小女孩的梦想就是从父亲给她的球杆开始的。由此可推知，第二段提到的小女孩是为了展示父母对孩子激情的影响。故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句话“Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. (像我父亲这样的一些父母有为孩子敞开大门的天赋)”以及划线短语后面的句子“the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day(当火花爆发成火焰的奇妙时刻，总有一天会自行燃烧)”可知，有些父母在生活中有一种天赋，就是为孩子们敞开大门，开阔他们的视野。给孩子开阔视野就像一簇火花，在将来总有一天会爆发成火焰。所以划线短语的意思为“开阔视野”。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话“And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”(他补充道：“告诉我你的童年，我就能告诉你你可能是哪种类型的人。”)”可推知，作者的精神病学家朋友会同意一个人的个性与童年经历有关。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation.(因此，试图为儿童敞开大门的真正目的是建立渴望和外向的态度，这是我们可以传递给下一代的最有价值的遗产)”以及最后一句话“And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.(明年，当八月的流星来临时，我的儿子将七岁)”可知，作为父母，我们应该试图为儿童敞开大门，让他们建立渴望和外向的态度。由此可推知，作者的儿子七岁了，他也会带他的儿子去看流星，为儿子敞开一扇门。故选C。 C Earth Day is April 22. Every year, people around the world observe the day by helping to care for the environment. They carry out all kinds of activities in an effort to better the planet’s health. One way to support this goal is to grow plants native to your area. This helps wildlife like birds and insects that evolved alongside native plants. For many of these animals, plant pollen is their food. Native pollinators(传粉者)often cannot recognize non-native plants as food. This means they do not collect the pollen or spread plants’ seeds. Planting non-native species creates so-called ”food deserts“ for pollinators including bees, birds, bats, butterflies and more. Doug Tallamy is a professor of entomology at the University of Delaware. Entomology is the study of insects. He found that non-native plant species can harm the natural food chain, which can lead to a collapse of the environment. “Plant choice matters,” he said. “The plants we choose to landscape our properties with should be determined by how much life can live there.” Humans depend strongly on insects. Without them, we would have no flowering plants, which would harm the food web that supports important animals. Birds, for example, depend on plants for food and spread their seeds while keeping the populations of harmful insects down. Insects support plants that provide oxygen, clean our water, capture carbon and add nutrients to the soil. That builds topsoil and prevents flooding. Without insects, the biosphere-the living parts of the Earth-would rot because of the loss of insect decomposers(分解者).Humans simply could not survive that, Tallamy said. In addition to providing food and habitat for insects and other wildlife, native plants are able to grow easily and do not require much care. That means less watering and less fertilizing. The situation is a win-win for gardeners and pollinators. 28. Which of the following can benefit from native plants directly? A. Seeds. B. The earth. C. Humans. D. Birds and insects. 29. Why are non-native plants harmful to the environment? A. They make it a desert. B. They pollute the topsoil. C. They damage the food chain. D. They destroy the native habitat. 30. Who might be the intended readers of the passage? A. Professors. B. Gardeners. C. Scientists. D. Zoologists. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The effects of native insects. B. The ways to observe Earth Day. C. The reasons for planting native species. D. The approaches to growing native plants. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为什么种植本地植物有助于改善地球的健康状况，保护环境。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This helps wildlife like birds and insects that evolved alongside native plants.(这有助于鸟类和昆虫等野生动物与本土植物一起进化。)”可知，鸟和昆虫可以直接从本地植物中受益。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He found that non-native plant species can harm the natural food chain, which can lead to a collapse of the environment.(他发现，非本地植物物种会损害自然食物链，从而导致环境崩溃。)”可知，非本地植物对环境有害是因为它们破坏了食物链。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The situation is a win-win for gardeners and pollinators.(这种情况对园丁和传粉者来说是双赢的。)”可推知，这篇文章的目标读者可能是园丁。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“They carry out all kinds of activities in an effort to better the planet’s health. One way to support this goal is to grow plants native to your area.(他们开展各种各样的活动，努力改善地球的健康。支持这一目标的一种方法是种植当地的植物。)”提到了种植当地植物，紧接着下文就主要介绍了种植本地植物的原因，所以C项“种植本地物种的原因”能概括全文内容。故选C项。 D If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life. 32. What prevents people from enjoying the arts? A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Lack of interest. D. Art space inaccessibility. 33. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage? A. It explores mysteries of life. B. It sparks emotional responses. C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life. 34. What will be talked about next in the passage? A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combine art and life. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Art Journey: Refreshing Soul B. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full C. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasy 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对自己的日常安排满满，以致于没有“艺术时间”，从而使得艺术成为“理论上的喜爱”和“奢侈品”。作者论述了艺术能够带来的有益的情绪刺激，希望可以将对艺术的喜爱真正体现到日常生活中，使其成为生活必需品。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed.(这种不匹配可以归结为这样一个事实：我们被日常的责任压得喘不过气来，把我们的日程安排得满满的。)”可知，阻止人们享受艺术的是安排满满的日程，即，缺少享受艺术的时间。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.(它们可能刺激了一种突然的觉醒，很像吸入烟雾弥漫的空气后，一大口纯氧引起的震惊。)”可知，艺术可能会刺激一种突然的觉醒，给人带来震惊。由此可推知，艺术会给人带来情绪方面的刺激。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段末尾句内容“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life.(然后制定一个你的艺术接触之旅的时间表，并逐渐将艺术融入你的日常生活。)”提到了制定一个时间表，将艺术融入日常生活，由此可推知，后文应以这一话题继续讲述如何设计这样的时间表，如何将艺术融入日常生活规划中。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章最后一段内容“If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity.(如果你认为艺术是一种纯粹的体验和参与的乐趣，你可能会将其视为奢侈品，而更可取的态度是将艺术视为一种分散注意力的乐趣，而更像是一种锻炼或睡眠，一种必需品。)”点明了作者想要表达的核心，即，摒弃掉“对艺术理论式的喜爱”，将艺术真正的融入生活，使其成为生活必需品，而非奢侈品。因此，选项C“Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity(拥抱艺术：从奢侈品到必需品)”贴合主旨，可作最佳标题。故选C项。 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Five Easy Solutions to Stress It’s almost impossible to totally avoid stress, but these top tips will help you to get it under control so that it doesn’t take over your life.

Turning eleven means a lot to her, and she had always expected to throw a party surrounded by her friends. Sadly, this year was totally different. The heavy burden of homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Diana to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during break, her best friend, Alice, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” asked Alice, sensing Diana’s sadness. “No,” Diana sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.” She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Alice saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Alice nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Diana saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Diana went over to them, but as soon as Alice saw her, she quickly walked away. Diana was startled by Alice’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah. “What did she say?” Diana asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Alice, leaving Diana standing there, feeling left out and anxious. What is happening? Diana wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me? As Diana’s birthday drew nearer, Alice was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Diana went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Diana was not allowed to know. Alice has never kept secrets from me before, Diana thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding? 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。 On Diana’s birthday, she went to school, finding her classroom in total darkness. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears welled up in Diana’s eyes, her face brightening up with a broad smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: On Diana’s birthday, she went to school, finding her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Alice, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Diana’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped. Tears welled up in Diana’s eyes, her face brightening up with a broad smile. She turned towards Alice, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Alice said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Diana’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Diana realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones that she used to have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了Diana每年都会举办生日派对，但是今年因为家庭作业的负担以及父母的经济困难，她无法举办十一岁的生日派对，因此她往常的兴奋被失望和压力所取代。好朋友Alice察觉到了Diana的难过，得知Diana无法举办生日派对后，她常在课间休息时间和班级里的同学秘密交谈，还特意避开Diana。 Diana对此感到疑惑，觉得他们有事情瞒着自己，害怕他们是在疏远自己，很想弄清楚事情的真相。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Diana生日那天，她去学校，发现教室里一片漆黑”可知，第一段可描写Diana面对这种特殊情况的心理活动和反应，以及同学们出现为Diana准备了生日惊喜派对。 ②由第二段首句内容“Diana热泪盈眶，脸上露出灿烂的笑容”可知，第二段可描写Alice向Diana解释他们之前的秘密交谈，以及Diana对惊喜派对的感受。 2. 续写线索：生日当天教室一片漆黑——Diana的心理和反应——同学们准备了惊喜派对——Diana开心地笑——Alice解释情况——Diana的感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：step into/walk into ②装饰：decorate/ornament/adorn ③决定：decide/determine ④意识到：realize/recognize ⑤笼罩：loom over/hang over ⑥消失：disappear/vanish/go away 情绪类 ①疑惑：confusion/puzzlement ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ③悲伤：sadness/sorrow/unhappiness ④高兴：joy/delight/happiness ⑤感激：gratitude/gratefulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding.

Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep. Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably. “How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said.“ Your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.” I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.” The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at it? Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven. 24. Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2? A. To show parental impact on children’s passion. B. To suggest hobbies always start from the small. C. To highlight the importance of diverse experiences. D. To prove true passion usually arises from the reward. 25.

They carry out all kinds of activities in an effort to better the planet’s health. One way to support this goal is to grow plants native to your area. This helps wildlife like birds and insects that evolved alongside native plants. For many of these animals, plant pollen is their food. Native pollinators(传粉者)often cannot recognize non-native plants as food. This means they do not collect the pollen or spread plants’ seeds. Planting non-native species creates so-called ”food deserts“ for pollinators including bees, birds, bats, butterflies and more. Doug Tallamy is a professor of entomology at the University of Delaware. Entomology is the study of insects. He found that non-native plant species can harm the natural food chain, which can lead to a collapse of the environment. “Plant choice matters,” he said. “The plants we choose to landscape our properties with should be determined by how much life can live there.” Humans depend strongly on insects. Without them, we would have no flowering plants, which would harm the food web that supports important animals. Birds, for example, depend on plants for food and spread their seeds while keeping the populations of harmful insects down. Insects support plants that provide oxygen, clean our water, capture carbon and add nutrients to the soil. That builds topsoil and prevents flooding. Without insects, the biosphere-the living parts of the Earth-would rot because of the loss of insect decomposers(分解者).Humans simply could not survive that, Tallamy said. In addition to providing food and habitat for insects and other wildlife, native plants are able to grow easily and do not require much care. That means less watering and less fertilizing. The situation is a win-win for gardeners and pollinators. 28. Which of the following can benefit from native plants directly? A. Seeds. B. The earth. C. Humans. D. Birds and insects. 29. Why are non-native plants harmful to the environment? A. They make it a desert. B. They pollute the topsoil. C. They damage the food chain. D. They destroy the native habitat. 30. Who might be the intended readers of the passage? A. Professors. B. Gardeners. C. Scientists. D. Zoologists. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The effects of native insects. B. The ways to observe Earth Day. C. The reasons for planting native species. D. The approaches to growing native plants. D If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life. 32. What prevents people from enjoying the arts? A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Lack of interest. D. Art space inaccessibility. 33. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage? A. It explores mysteries of life. B. It sparks emotional responses. C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life. 34. What will be talked about next in the passage? A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combine art and life. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Art Journey: Refreshing Soul B. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full C. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasy 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Five Easy Solutions to Stress It’s almost impossible to totally avoid stress, but these top tips will help you to get it under control so that it doesn’t take over your life.

Turning eleven means a lot to her, and she had always expected to throw a party surrounded by her friends. Sadly, this year was totally different. The heavy burden of homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Diana to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during break, her best friend, Alice, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” asked Alice, sensing Diana’s sadness. “No,” Diana sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.” She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Alice saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Alice nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Diana saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Diana went over to them, but as soon as Alice saw her, she quickly walked away. Diana was startled by Alice’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah. “What did she say?” Diana asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Alice, leaving Diana standing there, feeling left out and anxious. What is happening? Diana wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me? As Diana’s birthday drew nearer, Alice was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Diana went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Diana was not allowed to know.
