Bronte Creek Harvest Festival
On September 28 and 29, 2024, you’re invited to the annual Bronte Creek Harvest Festival.
The history
In the 1900s, farms hired extra workers to help bring in large harvests, and when harvest time rolled around, all the farms would compete to get the best farm workers. In addition to their pay, these workers were given meals and a place to stay, so a good way to get the best workers was to offer the best food and drink.
One of Spruce Lane Farm’s main products was apples and cider (苹果汁). By making the best cider and giving it to their farm workers, they often attracted better farm workers, reducing costs and increasing the quality of the harvest.
Our cider press will be in full operation during the festival. You can try some, but first we need your help pressing the apples!
The festival
Brought to you by the Friends of Bronte Creek Park, the annual festival has lots of things to do for young and old!
Staff will be dressed in historical attire (服装) and provide some hands-on demonstrations which will enhance your understanding of the early settlement era.
The park is nurturing a whole field of pumpkins.
Bring your friends and family, and:
·Pick your own pumpkin (by donation)
·Watch demonstrations of apple cider pressing
·Tour a turn-of-the-century farmhouse
·Try a four-foot-long cross-cut saw and make a souvenir
·Enjoy a wagon ride
·Sample seasonal refreshments and food (additional fees apply)
To help guarantee access for day use, our visitors can plan their trip ahead of time and obtain a daily vehicle permit in advance.
Advance daily vehicle permits are available at 7:00 am, five days in advance of your arrival date. Reservations can be made online.

In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now-our living rooms.
At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chaise longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless-save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.
Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year-and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.
It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client's space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily-recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?”
Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small-sometimes with just 10tossed balls at a time-but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock-around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.”
4. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product.
C. To show tennis' popularity. D. To state the material of furniture.
5. What function does paragraph 3 act as?
A. An example. B. A background. C. A definition. D. A proof.
6. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls?
A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help.
C. She adjusts their colors accordingly. D. She uses their characteristics.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Wittock’s stuff sources. B. Wittock’s work plans.
C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.
Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges.
When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors.
Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research.
8. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents from paragraph 1?
A. Special sensors detecting colors. B. A unique way for color reflection.
C. Advanced software for image generation. D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination.
9. What can we learn about digital scent from paragraph 2?
A. It is created by using cartridges. B. It’s a fully-developed technology.
C. It comes from the same cartridges. D. It is related to images on mobile phones.
10. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology?
A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature.
B. Regulating the intensity and duration of scents.
C. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell.
D. Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Technology that can combine colors to create images.
B. Challenges faced by digital scent technology.
C. The development and potential of digital scent technology.
D. The history and future of complex phone technology.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字气味技术,包括它的开发过程和潜力,以及其面临的诸多挑战。

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.(屏幕使用被称为像素的微小点,这些点由三种原色组成:红、绿和蓝。通过以不同的方式混合这些颜色,你的手机可以向你展示从美丽的海滩景色到可爱的小狗等一切内容。)”可知,手机屏幕能够呈现多样的视觉内容是因为它使用了由红、绿、蓝三种原色组成的像素进行混合。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent.(科学家们正在开发一种数字气味技术,该技术使用少量不同的暗盒,每个暗盒都包含一种特定的气味。)”可知,数字气味技术是通过使用包含特定气味的暗盒来创建的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out.(另一个挑战是如何控制气味的强度以及手机应该发送多长时间。)”可知,科学家在开发数字气味技术时面临的一个挑战是如何调节气味的强度和持续时间。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了数字气味技术,包括它的开发过程和潜力,以及其面临的诸多挑战。因此,选项C“数字气味技术的发展与潜力”最能概括文章的主旨大意。故选C。

In recent years the production of blades(叶片) for wind turbines(风力涡轮机)has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced.
But there's a hitch. Today's longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.
Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics(液压装置)can turn their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport passage, tree branches included, the software reveals-to within a few centimetres-if a blade could get through.
For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $ 1. 3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers' total cost for blades by a quarter.
The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long-shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.
12. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Advantage. B. Improvement. C. Challenge. D. Disorder.
13. How were the wind turbines transported in the past?
A By making digital models of the large blades.
B. By applying software to the big trees detection.
C. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns.
D By using trucks with special devices to decrease the movement of turbines.
14. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades?
A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms. B. Reducing the length of the turbine blades.
C. Increasing the number of transport permits. D. Using lighter materials to produce the blades.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the efforts to improve the transportation of blades?
A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了风力涡轮机叶片运输面临的问题以及一些解决思路。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher(如今最长的叶片变得太大,无法运送到内陆风电场,只能通过船运到海上风电场,而海上风电场的建设成本要高得多)”可知,如今最长的叶片变得太大,无法运送到内陆风电场,只能通过船运到海上风电场,而海上风电场的建设成本要高得多,这是一个问题、挑战,可推理出“hitch”的意思是“挑战”,故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置)can turn their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles.(带有“叶片提升器”液压装置的卡车可以转动负载以减少转弯时的位移,这在没有架空障碍物的丘陵地区是一个有用的技巧。)”可知,过去是使用带有特殊装置的卡车来减少风力涡轮机在运输中的移动。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One idea is to 3D - print blades at wind farms.(一个想法是在风力发电场3D打印叶片。)”可知,解决涡轮机叶片运输问题的建议是在风力发电场现场打印叶片。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long - shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.(风力发电行业将其资本支出的约7%用于运输叶片,所以即使是昂贵的、希望渺茫的寻找更好方法的尝试也是值得的。)”可知,作者认为即使是昂贵的、希望渺茫的寻找更好方法的尝试也是值得的,由此可推知,作者对改善叶片运输的努力持支持态度。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了中国南海西沙群岛在海龟保护方面所取得的显著成果以及面临的威胁。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国南海西沙群岛蓝绿的海水和迷人的海岸线旁,一项至关重要的任务正在悄然展开,那就是保护海龟。空处需填副词namely,作状语。故填namely。
【37题详解】
考查with的复合结构。句意:保护工作取得了显著成效,今年1月至8月中旬,在西沙群岛上发现了115个海龟巢穴。“with+名词+过去分词”为固定用法,此处是with复合结构作状语。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:经过多年的保护和环境修复工作,2017年至2023年期间,共发现了1,734个含有绿海龟蛋的巢穴。分析句子可知,空处为句子谓语,且和主语nests之间为被动关系,所以空处需用其被动语态:be done,结合时间状语between 2017 and 2023可知,为一般过去时的被动语态,主语nests为复数。故填were discovered。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些岛屿是绿海龟的重要栖息地。habit为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且important发音以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国90%的海龟分布在南海,其中绿海龟占比超过80%。句子已有谓语are found且无连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,此处为with的复合结构:with+宾语+宾语补足语,account和宾语green turtles之间为主动关系,所以空处需用其现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填accounting。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:自20世纪80年代以来,由于长期过度捕捞、非法贸易、海洋污染以及气候变化等因素的叠加影响,全球海龟的数量和栖息地都急剧减少。空处需用形容词作定语修饰其后名词trade,表示“非法的”形容词为illegal。故填illegal。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:为了应对这些威胁,三沙市建立了一套基于24小时监测和保护海龟筑巢的保护体系,并制定了一系列关键的保护政策。in response to为固定短语,意为“对……做出反应'”,空处需用其名词形式。故填response。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:北岛已建立一个海龟保护中心,多所高校的研究团队在此设立了实验室和研究中心,以研究绿海龟种群状况、海龟生态环境以及保护生物学。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Beidao Island,指地点,在从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。,句子已有谓语have set up且无连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,此处作目的状语,需用动词不定式。故填to study。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:海龟被《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录一列为濒危物种。空处需用形容词作主语补足语,endanger的形容词为endangered,意为“濒危的”。故填endangered。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
It was the beginning of a new year, and as the “smarty-pants” of my peers, I was placed in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence. To make matters worse, I was short and very shy, which made me think all my confident classmates would tease me and look down on me. During lessons, I thought teachers almost forgot my existence, and if not for my exceptionally excellent results, no one would have noticed me.
Thus, the incident that happened three months ago was both shocking and surprising. There was a speech competition three months later, and our school was to choose a representative from the best class of our level. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Due to her high expectations, all of us presumed she would pick one of the biggest mouths in our class. Strangely though, she declared, “Jane shall be the one who will join in the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. My jaw dropped as I drew a deep breath awkwardly. Me? A speech competition? I rubbed my eyes to ensure I was not dreaming.
“You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice. The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice I had ever heard, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?”
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment, while Mrs Lee criticized the class for such rude behaviour.
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。
题
After school, Mrs Lee called me to her office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After school, Mrs Lee called me to her office. She gave me a few points on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my completely bad pronunciation was “cured”. In the following three months, Mrs Lee helped me to overcome all the difficulties. With great effort, I finally mastered my speech and was well-prepared by the end of three months, as the competition approached day by day.
Finally, the day of my competition arrived. I felt stressed and nervous again. Mrs Lee held my cold hands and spoke words of encouragement. I immediately gained confidence. When standing on the stage, I threw all my fears aside and began speaking with enthusiasm. When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion and asked me to go up on stage to receive the award. The tears of joy welled up in my eyes. Smiling into the audience, I spotted Mrs Lee. It was all thanks to her.

Bronte Creek Harvest Festival
On September 28 and 29, 2024, you’re invited to the annual Bronte Creek Harvest Festival.
The history
In the 1900s, farms hired extra workers to help bring in large harvests, and when harvest time rolled around, all the farms would compete to get the best farm workers. In addition to their pay, these workers were given meals and a place to stay, so a good way to get the best workers was to offer the best food and drink.
One of Spruce Lane Farm’s main products was apples and cider (苹果汁). By making the best cider and giving it to their farm workers, they often attracted better farm workers, reducing costs and increasing the quality of the harvest.
Our cider press will be in full operation during the festival. You can try some, but first we need your help pressing the apples!
The festival
Brought to you by the Friends of Bronte Creek Park, the annual festival has lots of things to do for young and old!
Staff will be dressed in historical attire (服装) and provide some hands-on demonstrations which will enhance your understanding of the early settlement era.

·Watch demonstrations of apple cider pressing
·Tour a turn-of-the-century farmhouse

In the last two years tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now-our living rooms.
At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chaise longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless-save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.
Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year-and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.
It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client's space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily-recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?”
Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small-sometimes with just 10tossed balls at a time-but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock-around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.”
4. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product.
C. To show tennis' popularity. D. To state the material of furniture.
5. What function does paragraph 3 act as?
A. An example. B. A background. C. A definition. D. A proof.
6. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls?
A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help.
C. She adjusts their colors accordingly. D. She uses their characteristics.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Wittock’s stuff sources. B. Wittock’s work plans.
C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience.
C
Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.
Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges.
When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors.
Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research.
8. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents from paragraph 1?
A. Special sensors detecting colors. B. A unique way for color reflection.
C. Advanced software for image generation. D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination.
9. What can we learn about digital scent from paragraph 2?

D
In recent years the production of blades(叶片) for wind turbines(风力涡轮机)has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced.
But there's a hitch. Today's longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.
Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics(液压装置)can turn their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport passage, tree branches included, the software reveals-to within a few centimetres-if a blade could get through.
For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $ 1. 3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers' total cost for blades by a quarter.
The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long-shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.
12. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Advantage. B. Improvement. C. Challenge. D. Disorder.
13. How were the wind turbines transported in the past?
A. By making digital models of the large blades.
B. By applying software to the big trees detection.
C. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns.
D. By using trucks with special devices to decrease the movement of turbines.
14. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades?
A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms. B. Reducing the length of the turbine blades.
C. Increasing the number of transport permits. D. Using lighter materials to produce the blades.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the efforts to improve the transportation of blades?
A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful.

47. 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。
It was the beginning of a new year, and as the “smarty-pants” of my peers, I was placed in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence. To make matters worse, I was short and very shy, which made me think all my confident classmates would tease me and look down on me. During lessons, I thought teachers almost forgot my existence, and if not for my exceptionally excellent results, no one would have noticed me.
Thus, the incident that happened three months ago was both shocking and surprising. There was a speech competition three months later, and our school was to choose a representative from the best class of our level. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Due to her high expectations, all of us presumed she would pick one of the biggest mouths in our class. Strangely though, she declared, “Jane shall be the one who will join in the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. My jaw dropped as I drew a deep breath awkwardly. Me? A speech competition? I rubbed my eyes to ensure I was not dreaming.
“You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice. The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice I had ever heard, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?”
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment, while Mrs Lee criticized the class for such rude behaviour.
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。
题
After school Mrs Lee called me to her office.

Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
