阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Road Trip Apps
RoadWarrior
Ever wonder how delivery drivers manage to hit so many different places in a relatively short amount of time? It’s because they’re using an app like RoadWarrior to plan their routes (路线) to be as good as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, RoadWarrior includes lots of other time-wasting details.
GasBuddy
Gas prices are high at present, so travelers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. GasBuddy is one of the most popular apps for finding affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Like many apps, there is a free version (版本), as well as a paid version with $10 per year for added features.
RoadTrippers
For people who aren’t totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the RoadTrippers app is a must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 stops for them to choose from along the way, which costs $29.99 per year. It won’t let you miss the famous scenic spots. It tells fuel costs, allows for drivers to plan friendly routes to their particular vehicles and lets the users cooperate (合作) with friends who are also on the road.
HotelTonight
Travelers sometimes don’t know exactly where they’re going to be at the end of the day, so they can’t book the hotels ahead of time. Fortunately, there are apps designed to help travelers get cheap last-minute hotel deals. One of the best is HotelTonight, which allows the users to search for the hotels available tonight in a given area at a low price, and it includes additional discounts.
21. Which app features saving time?
A. RoadWarrior. B. RoadTrippers. C. GasBuddy. D. HotelTonight.
22. How much does RoadTrippers cost per year?

Ehrman Crest Primary School in Pittsburgh celebrated its opening in August. Three months later, the school, was put on the annual list of best inventions by a local newspaper.
The honor focused on Ehrman Orest’s creative design. There are large maps on the walls. Some classrooms connect to the outdoors. There’s also a rooftop garden. “We didn’t set out to be a best invention,” said Tracy Vitale, a teacher in the school. “We set out simply to replace an 84-year-old building.”
Kids played a key role in creating Ehrman Crest. After adults made decisions about basics, the builders met with students. “We really push hard on, ‘What do you expect a new school to be?’ and ‘What kind of environment would you love to learn in?’” explained Michael Corb, who is with the builder CannonDesign. “We want students’ ideas on how the school should look and feel.”
CannonDesign worked with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on the project Anne Fullenkamp, a director at the museum, said the design process started with kids expressing their views. “We try to pool the students’ ideas,” she said. “The kids were given plenty of materials, such as photos and different colored cards. They picked these things and created their own storyboards. Wood was important to them, because it felt natural and was comforting. And they preferred calming colors, such as blues and greens.”
The result is a school with all the excitement of a children’s museum. There are traditional classrooms, but there are also places for exploration. “It’s such a proud feeling to walk into our school,” teacher Ryan Bonicky said. “The kids are just excited about learning.”
Ehrman Crest hopes that the physical space will have a positive influence on student achievement. “We built our dream school,” said Tracy Vitale. “I think the lessons learned here are ‘Be creative as adults’ and ‘Listen to children’”
24. Why was the school reported by the local newspaper
A. It saw a fast change recently. B. It was built by the parents.
C. It had trained best students. D. It was designed creatively.
25. What does the underlined word “pool” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Influence. B. Collect. C. Review. D. Correct.
26. How did Ryan Bonicky find the newly-built school?
A. Satisfying. B. Outdated. C. Costly. D. Lifeless.
27. What message did Tracy Vitale want to express at last?
A. Students should be praised at times. B. Children can play a very creative role.
C. Teachers’ work is to develop students’ mind. D. A classroom is where we realize our dreams
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了匹兹堡的Ehrman Crest小学因为设计很有创意,被当地一家报纸列入年度最佳发明名单。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The honor focused on Ehrman Orest’s creative design.(这一荣誉主要集中在埃尔曼·奥雷斯特的创意设计上)”可知,当地报纸报道这所学校是因为它的设计很有创意。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the design process started with kids expressing their views”以及后文“the students’ ideas”可知,Anne Fullenkamp说,设计过程始于孩子们表达自己的观点,所以他们收集了学生的想法进行设计。故划线词意思是“收集”。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““It’s such a proud feeling to walk into our school,” teacher Ryan Bonicky said. “The kids are just excited about learning.”(“走进我们学校是一种非常自豪的感觉,”老师Ryan Bonicky说。“孩子们对学习很兴奋。”)”可知,Ryan Bonicky对这所新建的学校感到满意。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think the lessons learned here are ‘Be creative as adults’ and ‘Listen to children’(我认为这里学到的教训是‘像成年人一样有创造力’和‘倾听孩子的声音’)”可知,Tracy Vitale最后想表达的是孩子可以扮演非常有创造力的角色。故选B。
C
In January, Rio Verde Foothills, an Arizona desert community, found itself in a bad situation: The water supply was cut off.
The community is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale. which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up Scottsdale says it has to save water for its own. Now people in Rio Verde Foothills must find a solution.
Some experts say the solution is to bring water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a desalination (海水淡化) plant on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The plant would take away salt from the water and supply that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline (管道). Supporters say this could provide fresh water for about ten years.
Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would be harmful to land where people and animals live. And the desalination process uses lots of power. This would create greenhouse gases, which are causing the conditions that have led to Arizona’s water problems.
Margaret Wilder, a professor at the. University of Arizona, says the government should focus on cutting water demand (需求) rather than increasing supply. That would mean taking water-saving measures and controlling how many homes are built in the desert. “We need to start asking questions when people present us with unproblematic and carefree solutions to the water problem,’ says Wilder.
People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens.
28. Why did Scottsdale cut off the water supply to Rio Verde Foothills?
A. The locals wasted plenty of fresh water B. Mexico’s, Sea of Cortez has been, polluted
C. The water level in Colorado River has fallen. D. More and more people move to the community.
29. What do the environmentalists think of the desalination project?
A. It could improve people’s well-being. B. It won’t solve the water shortage.
C. It can’t meet the community’s needs. D. It might be bad for the environment
30. What does Margaret Wilder probably suggest?
A. Increasing the water supply. B. Taking action to save water.
C. Making the most of rainwater. D. Planting trees, on the river bank
31. Where is this text likely from?
A. A newspaper. B. A guidebook. C. A diary. D. A novel.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In January, Rio Verde Foothills, an Arizona desert community, found itself in a bad situation: The water supply was cut off.(今年1月,亚利桑那州的沙漠社区里奥佛得角山麓陷入了困境:供水被切断了)”结合文章主要介绍了科罗拉多河逐渐干涸导致Rio Verde Foothills社区供水中断,当地居民为此寻求解决办法。可推知,文章内容与新闻报道相关,文章最有可能选自报纸。故选A。

In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells (细胞) that are grown in a lab.
The first cells come from live animals. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste. The cells are grown inside a “cultivation (培植) room”, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold
The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. For one thing, raising animals for food is very hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces, and are treated badly.
Since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.
Right now, the lab-grown meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. The two companies say the lab-grown meat will mainly be served in high-end restaurants. It will probably be a long time before you’ll be able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores
32. What makes the development of lab-grown meat possible?
A. Scientists can grow and feed living cells in a lab. B. Customers prefer meat grown from animal cells.
C. Researchers provide better food for animals. D. Animals are much easier to be raised indoors.
33. What can we know about the lab-grown meat.
A. It’s helpful to cut costs. B. It creates lots of pollution.
C. It causes animals to suffer. D. It’s environment-friendly.
34. What is a problem facing the two companies at the moment?
A. They fail to collect enough animal cells. B. It’s difficult to produce delicious meat.
C. Customers dislike the lab-grown meat. D. It takes a long time to get final approval.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Actual Meat Still Remains People’s First Choice B. Scientists Manage to Turn Cells into Tasty Meat
C. The US Approved Meat Grown from Animal Cells D. Lab-grown Chicken Will be on the Market Soon
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国政府正式批准“人造肉”进入市场销售。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste.(科学家们很早就知道如何让活细胞存活并在实验室中培养它们。在这种情况下,他们会选择生长速度快、味道好的细胞)”可知,科学家可以在实验室里培育活细胞让实验室培育肉成为可能。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution.(实验室培育的肉比动物肉更环保。饲养动物作为食物需要大量的土地和水。它也造成了很多污染)”可知,实验室培育的肉是环保的。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.(然而,许多人对实验室培育的肉不太感兴趣。很多人认为这听起来很奇怪)”可知,两家公司目前面临的问题是顾客不喜欢实验室培育的肉。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.(6月下旬,美国政府同意允许两家公司上行食品公司和好莫公司销售实验室培育的鸡肉。这使美国成为第二个批准实验室培育鸡肉的国家)”结合文章主要介绍了美国政府正式批准“人造肉”进入市场销售。由此可知,C选项“美国批准用动物细胞培育肉类”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【59题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:原塔建于公元975年。分析句子结构可知,空处为句子的谓语动词。此处描述雷峰塔被建造的时间,所以句子为一般过去时态。主语和该动词之间为被动关系,所以用一般过去时态的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数形式。故填was built。

【63题详解】
考查可数名词复数。句意:断桥附近有长椅,人们可以坐下来欣赏美景,也可以沿着小路散步。本句话为there be句型,意为“有……”。根据空前的are可知,空处需要可数名词的复数形式。故填benches。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:断桥附近有长椅,人们可以坐下来欣赏美景,也可以沿着小路散步。分析句子结构可知,空处需要连词连接“ sit and admire the beautiful sight ”和“walk along the path”两部分。根据句中的either可知,空处需要or,构成固定搭配either…or…“或者……或者……”。故填or。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这里有一条渡轮服务,可以带游客环湖游览,所以人们可以度过美好的一天来探索它所有的宝藏。游客还可以选择乘船环湖游览。spend some time (in) doing sth.“花费时间做某事”。故填exploring。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for listening.
【答案】
Good morning, everyone. I’m here to share with you a practical way to learn English.
First of all, I immerse myself in the language as much as possible by engaging with English media such as movies, TV shows, podcasts, and music. This method is effective because it exposes me to a variety of accents, colloquialisms, and speaking speeds, which enhances my listening skills and adaptability. Additionally, I practice speaking English aloud and talking to myself about my day or any topic that comes to mind. This practice helps reinforce what I’ve learned and builds confidence in my spoken English. Finally, I make a habit of carrying a notebook with me to set down new words and expressions that I come across, allowing me to review and practice them later.
Thank you for listening.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother was an excellent student at high school. However, I always felt stressed because of him. How I wished my brother weren’t so perfect. It made me work twice as hard to prove myself.
One afternoon I got a biology test. “I badly needed an A,” my mind kept repeating. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class.
Good, I thought, looking through the first page. I quickly filled in the answers, smiling with confidence. When I reached the last page, my mind went blank (空白). I read the questions over, but the words started to jumble (混乱). Although I could picture the pages of the book, I could not remember the text. My mind wouldn’t function. “Concentrate, Lara, you studied it this morning,” I tried to remember what was written in the book. The clock ticked away the minutes. I took a look at the clock. There was only three minutes. Soon everyone left, and I was still watching the paper.
“Lara, I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said. I quickly placed my name in the blank spaces and handed her the test.
After school, I quickly walked home. That night after dinner I sat down to finish The Great Gatsby. I thought “Great American Novels” would inspire me to brave hardships. However, the book truly felt like a waste of my time. Yet the fact remained that I was afraid to open my biology text and check the answers, although I refused to believe I might have done poorly on the test.
It was a rainy day when I got my biology test back. I looked at the red mark: C. It was not even a B minus, my mind screamed (尖叫). It was over.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Upon arriving home that night, I shouted at my brother.

Seeing what happened, my brother came to me with a smile.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Upon arriving home that night, I shouted at my brother. “You are always the top student at school. You are so smart that you have got a scholarship. No matter how hard I worked, I hardly reached your standard. How could I prove myself with a C? I felt like a total failure,” I poured out all my bad emotions against him. Outside it was raining heavily with thunder rolling. I jumped at the unexpected sound. I reached the window and closed it angrily.
Seeing what happened, my brother came to me with a smile. Taking a deep breath, he said, “Hey, man. Relax. I know how you are feeling now. Actually, you are always the best in my eyes. You are so smart, active and creative... And we are brothers all the time.” Hearing his words, I realized how stupid my act was! Yes, he was my brother. Even though I got so angry with him, he still smiled back at me. One test was not my life. Believing in myself and in doing my best would always be the best score.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。作者的哥哥在高中时成绩优异,这让作者倍感压力,渴望证明自己。一次生物考试前,作者拼命复习,期望获得好成绩。考试时,前半部分进行得很顺利,但最后一页题目让作者大脑一片空白,无法回忆起书本内容。交卷后,作者逃避查看答案,试图通过阅读《了不起的盖茨比》来激励自己面对困难。等到发卷日,作者看到成绩是C,远低于作者的期待,内心十分沮丧。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“那天晚上一到家,我就对我哥哥大喊大叫。”可知,第一段可以描写作者对哥哥说的话。
②由第二段句首内容“看到发生的事情,我哥哥微笑着向我走来。”可知,第二段可以描写哥哥对作者的安慰。
2.续写线索:对哥哥喊叫—倾吐所有情绪—哥哥微笑—劝慰—意识到自己愚蠢—感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①得到:get/obtain
②到达:reach/get to
③证明:prove/demonstrate
情绪类

Road Trip Apps
RoadWarrior
Ever wonder how delivery drivers manage to hit so many different places in a relatively short amount of time? It’s because they’re using an app like RoadWarrior to plan their routes (路线) to be as good as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, RoadWarrior includes lots of other time-wasting details.
GasBuddy
Gas prices are high at present, so travelers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. GasBuddy is one of the most popular apps for finding affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Like many apps, there is a free version (版本), as well as a paid version with $10 per year for added features.
RoadTrippers
For people who aren’t totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the RoadTrippers app is a must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 stops for them to choose from along the way, which costs $29.99 per year. It won’t let you miss the famous scenic spots. It tells fuel costs, allows for drivers to plan friendly routes to their particular vehicles and lets the users cooperate (合作) with friends who are also on the road.
HotelTonight
Travelers sometimes don’t know exactly where they’re going to be at the end of the day, so they can’t book the hotels ahead of time. Fortunately, there are apps designed to help travelers get cheap last-minute hotel deals. One of the best is HotelTonight, which allows the users to search for the hotels available tonight in a given area at a low price, and it includes additional discounts.
21. Which app features saving time?
A. RoadWarrior. B. RoadTrippers. C. GasBuddy. D. HotelTonight.
22. How much does RoadTrippers cost per year?
A. $10. B. $29.99. C. $40.39. D. $150.
23. What is an advantage of HotelTonight?
A. It includes gas-saving details.
B. It plans a sightseeing route for users.
C. It allows for a cheap last-minute hotel deal.
D. It gives users a chance to find friends on the road.

Ehrman Crest Primary School in Pittsburgh celebrated its opening in August. Three months later, the school, was put on the annual list of best inventions by a local newspaper.
The honor focused on Ehrman Orest’s creative design. There are large maps on the walls. Some classrooms connect to the outdoors. There’s also a rooftop garden. “We didn’t set out to be a best invention,” said Tracy Vitale, a teacher in the school. “We set out simply to replace an 84-year-old building.”
Kids played a key role in creating Ehrman Crest. After adults made decisions about basics, the builders met with students. “We really push hard on, ‘What do you expect a new school to be?’ and ‘What kind of environment would you love to learn in?’” explained Michael Corb, who is with the builder CannonDesign. “We want students’ ideas on how the school should look and feel.”
CannonDesign worked with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on the project Anne Fullenkamp, a director at the museum, said the design process started with kids expressing their views. “We try to pool the students’ ideas,” she said. “The kids were given plenty of materials, such as photos and different colored cards. They picked these things and created their own storyboards. Wood was important to them, because it felt natural and was comforting. And they preferred calming colors, such as blues and greens.”
The result is a school with all the excitement of a children’s museum. There are traditional classrooms, but there are also places for exploration. “It’s such a proud feeling to walk into our school,” teacher Ryan Bonicky said. “The kids are just excited about learning.”
Ehrman Crest hopes that the physical space will have a positive influence on student achievement. “We built our dream school,” said Tracy Vitale. “I think the lessons learned here are ‘Be creative as adults’ and ‘Listen to children’”

In January, Rio Verde Foothills, an Arizona desert community, found itself in a bad situation: The water supply was cut off.
The community is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale. which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up Scottsdale says it has to save water for its own. Now people in Rio Verde Foothills must find a solution.
Some experts say the solution is to bring water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a desalination (海水淡化) plant on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The plant would take away salt from the water and supply that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline (管道). Supporters say this could provide fresh water for about ten years.
Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would be harmful to land where people and animals live. And the desalination process uses lots of power. This would create greenhouse gases, which are causing the conditions that have led to Arizona’s water problems.
Margaret Wilder, a professor at the. University of Arizona, says the government should focus on cutting water demand (需求) rather than increasing supply. That would mean taking water-saving measures and controlling how many homes are built in the desert. “We need to start asking questions when people present us with unproblematic and carefree solutions to the water problem,’ says Wilder.
People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens.
28. Why did Scottsdale cut off the water supply to Rio Verde Foothills?
A. The locals wasted plenty of fresh water B. Mexico’s, Sea of Cortez has been, polluted
C. The water level in Colorado River has fallen. D. More and more people move to the community.
29. What do the environmentalists think of the desalination project?
A It could improve people’s well-being. B. It won’t solve the water shortage.
C. It can’t meet the community’s needs. D. It might be bad for the environment
30. What does Margaret Wilder probably suggest?
A. Increasing the water supply. B. Taking action to save water.
C. Making the most of rainwater. D. Planting trees, on the river bank
31. Where is this text likely from?
A. A newspaper. B. A guidebook. C. A diary. D. A novel.

In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells (细胞) that are grown in a lab.
The first cells come from live animals. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste. The cells are grown inside a “cultivation (培植) room”, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold
The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. For one thing, raising animals for food is very hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces, and are treated badly.
Since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.
Right now, the lab-grown meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. The two companies say the lab-grown meat will mainly be served in high-end restaurants. It will probably be a long time before you’ll be able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores
32. What makes the development of lab-grown meat possible?
A. Scientists can grow and feed living cells in a lab. B. Customers prefer meat grown from animal cells.
C. Researchers provide better food for animals. D. Animals are much easier to be raised indoors.
33. What can we know about the lab-grown meat.
A. It’s helpful to cut costs. B. It creates lots of pollution.
C. It causes animals to suffer. D. It’s environment-friendly.
34. What is a problem facing the two companies at the moment?
A. They fail to collect enough animal cells. B. It’s difficult to produce delicious meat.
C. Customers dislike the lab-grown meat. D. It takes a long time to get final approval.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Actual Meat Still Remains People’s First Choice B. Scientists Manage to Turn Cells into Tasty Meat
C. The US Approved Meat Grown from Animal Cells D. Lab-grown Chicken Will be on the Market Soon

My brother was an excellent student at high school. However, I always felt stressed because of him. How I wished my brother weren’t so perfect. It made me work twice as hard to prove myself.
One afternoon I got a biology test. “I badly needed an A,” my mind kept repeating. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class.
Good, I thought, looking through the first page. I quickly filled in the answers, smiling with confidence. When I reached the last page, my mind went blank (空白). I read the questions over, but the words started to jumble (混乱). Although I could picture the pages of the book, I could not remember the text. My mind wouldn’t function. “Concentrate, Lara, you studied it this morning,” I tried to remember what was written in the book. The clock ticked away the minutes. I took a look at the clock. There was only three minutes. Soon everyone left, and I was still watching the paper.
“Lara, I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said. I quickly placed my name in the blank spaces and handed her the test.
After school, I quickly walked home. That night after dinner I sat down to finish The Great Gatsby. I thought “Great American Novels” would inspire me to brave hardships. However, the book truly felt like a waste of my time. Yet the fact remained that I was afraid to open my biology text and check the answers, although I refused to believe I might have done poorly on the test.
It was a rainy day when I got my biology test back. I looked at the red mark: C. It was not even a B minus, my mind screamed (尖叫). It was over.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Upon arriving home that night, I shouted at my brother.
