The Mongol Derby, described by the organizers, as the world’s toughest horse endurance (耐力) race, began in 2009 as an event held every year but was cancelled in 2021 and 2022. Competitors race between checkpoints 35 km apart, where they change horses. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the hospitality (好客) of friendly Mongolian families. Walker was an hour ahead of his rivals (对手) as the race entered its eighth day but dealt with a time punishment because his horse had a high heart rate during one of the regular checks which make sure that the animals were healthy. “I was in the lead for a long time but I had a bad vet check,” Walker said. “They check the heart rate of your horse to see if it is above 56 beats per minute. I picked a horse that had a bit of a problem.” Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realized that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland. “The horses are quite wild. I got bucked (颠) off three times. I fell off in a hole,” he said. “You’re going along and you suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.” Heffron met Walker as they went out for the race. He said it was important to form a team, mainly because falling off alone means that there is no one to help you recover your horse. “It’s also a bloody long way to talk to yourself,” Heffron said, “Neither of us had goals to win this race in advance but we realized: ‘We’re in front.’ So we pushed.” 24 What can we learn about the Mongol Derby? A. It provides accommodations in hotels. B. It allows competitors to change horses. C. It requires competitors be young and strong. D. It has been held every two years since 2021. 25. Why was Walker behind his rivals at last? A. His horse was in poor condition. B. He was punished for breaking rules. C. He failed to finish the race in given time. D. He got injured when he fell off the horse. 26. Which of the following best describes Walker? A. Creative. B. Confident. C. Warm-hearted. D. Strong-willed. 27. What does the story tell us? A. Success is hard won. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Many hands make light work. D. Everything comes to those who wait. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27.

I picked a horse that had a bit of a problem”（他们会检查你的马的心率，看它是否超过每分钟56次。我选了一匹有点问题的马）可知，沃克最终落后于他的竞争对手是因为他的马状态不好。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句““The horses are quite wild. I got bucked (颠) off three times. I fell off in a hole,” he said.(“这些马很野。我被摔了三次。我掉进了一个洞里，”他说。)”可知，沃克意志坚强。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Walker, a farmer, at 55, was the oldest of the competitors and finished third in this year’s 1,000 km race across the grassland — The Mongol Derby.(55岁的农民沃克是参赛者中年龄最大的，在今年的1000公里草原赛跑——蒙古德比中获得第三名。)”，第三段第一句“Walker was an hour ahead of his rivals (对手) as the race entered its eighth day but dealt with a time punishment because his horse had a high heart rate during one of the regular checks which make sure that the animals were healthy.(比赛进入第八天时，沃克领先对手一个小时，但他受到了计时处罚，因为他的马在一次定期检查中发现马的心率很高，心率检查是为了确保动物的健康。)”和第四段第二句““The horses are quite wild.

I fell off in a hole,” he said.(“这些马很野。我被摔了三次。我掉进了一个洞里，”他说。)”可知，文章告诉我们成功来之不易。故选A。 C When Narayanswami was invited to a dinner by a friend who worked at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she was excited. Many of the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed some yearning(渴望),”she says, because someone told her “You should join the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor. “I said ‘Aren’t I too old?” He said “We’ve got students in their 80s.” Narayanswami grew up in Southwest London, and at grammar school suffered horrific racist bullying. The library provided shelter. But, as she reached her late teens, she feel family pressure for an arranged marriage; “I really protested,” she says. “But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise. As long as you are getting an education we will not look for a husband for you.” Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrew, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California. “Every time you move you get further away,” her dad remarked on the phone. “I didn’t feel I would be able to escape unless I did that,” she says. In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hours she needed to earn her pilot's license. Then she applied to Nasa’s astronaut corps, but received a very appreciative rejection. Even now, at 66, she says “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with it. It doesn’t go away.” The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow. Flying has helped. It is a workout: she has to tow the plane out to the taxiway. And it offers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills. Vaster than our hills,” she says. New possibilities have arisen—Narayanswami chairs the board of the General Aviation Awards in the US—but she finds relaxing difficult. In flight, she is part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio frequency. There is no sense of skin colour. We are all tied together by our voices. 28. How did the instructor’s words sound to Narayanswami? A. Disappointing. B. Embarrassing. C. Annoying. D. Encouraging. 29. What does the,underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Accepting an aged marriage. B. Receiving an education. C. Keeping a distance. D. Making a promise: 30. What does Narayanswami think of Nasa's rejection? A. It indicates prejudice against her. B. It ruins her childhood memory. C. It raises concern for her age. D. It leaves room for negotiation. 31. What does flying bring to Narayanswami? A. A good way of relaxation. B. A different dimension of life. C. A rich knowledge of wildlife. D. A full exhibition of leadership. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了纳拉扬斯瓦米从57岁开始学习飞行的故事。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The next day Narayanswami, who was 57at the time, arranged to meet an instructor. I said “Aren’t I too old?”He said “We've got students in their 80s.”（第二天，当时57岁的纳拉扬斯瓦米安排见了一位教练。我说“我不会太老了吗？”他说“我们有80多岁的学生。”）”可知，纳拉扬斯瓦米本来还是有些担心自己年龄太大了，听到教练的话，是比较令人鼓舞的，故选择D项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“My mother made a promise.As long as you are getting an education we will not look for a husband for you.（我母亲答应了只要你接受教育，我们就不会为你找丈夫。）”及第三段中“Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrew, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California（纳拉扬斯瓦米在莱斯特大学学习生物学，然后在圣安得烈大学获得博士学位，随后在加利福尼亚大学进行博士后研究。）”可知，此处that的指代的是上文中提到的接受教育能帮助她摆脱包办婚姻，故选择B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Even now, at 66,she says: “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with it. It doesn’t go away.”The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow.（即使到了现在，66岁的她说：“我还不知道如何应对，这种感觉挥之不去。”她小时候受到的种族主义欺凌给她留下了很深阴影。）”可知，纳拉扬斯瓦米认为美国宇航局的拒绝是出于对她的偏见，故选择A项， 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“And it offers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills. Vaster than our hills,” she says.（它提供了一个不同的视角。她说：“我能看到鹰、熊、山狮、猛禽。我喜欢云朵的美丽。它们像山一样。比我们的山还要广阔。”）”可知，飞行给她带来了生活的另一种维度，故选择B项。 D Contrary to the long­held belief that plants in natural world are always in competition, new research has found in bad environments mature (成熟的) plants help smaller ones — and thrive as a result. The research team, led by Dr.Rocio Pérez­Barrales studied adult and young plants in the “ecological desert” of soil in the south­east of Spain. The findings could have significance for those managing bad environments like coastal areas. Dr.Pérez­Barrales said, “What we have found surprising is that a strong large plant, called a ‘nurse’， shields a young one, and it also produces more flowers than those of similar size growing on their own.” Dr.Pérez­Barrales and her team studied plant growth in southern Spain for over three months during summer and found that the young and “nurse” are more likely to thrive when grown together, compared to either plant growing alone. The young plants benefit from shade, more moisture and more nutrients, from the leaf litter (落叶层) of the “nurse” plants, and probably higher bacteria and fungus (真菌) in the soil. As it matures, the “nurse” plant grows more flowers than those similar ones nearby growing alone, greatly increasing its chances of producing seeds and reproducing. Besides, vegetation of “nurse” and facilitated plants with more flowers might be able to attract a greater number and variety of pollinators (传粉昆虫) in an area. In turn, it supports insect and soil life, and even provides a larger range of different fruit types for birds and mammals. This is the greatest achievement of the ecosystem. The research is likely to be of value to those who manage to protect plants in hostile and harsh environments, such as shingle and sand­dune (沙丘) ecosystems, which are considered at high risk due to human action and climate change. Most home gardeners and farmers are happy with the research as well, but the findings might be of more value to those who garden in harsh places. 32. What's the finding of the study? A. The mature and smaller plants benefit each other when growing together. B. Large plants sacrifice themselves for the smaller ones. C. Young plants compete with the adults for larger space. D. Young plants struggle to survive in harsh environments. 33. Why is a plant called a “nurse”？ A. Because it produces more flowers. B. Because it competes with a larger one. C. Because it protects and helps the young. D. Because it grows well in bad environments. 34. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The natural selection. B. The biodiversity (生物多样性) in an area. C. The improvement of the soil. D. The high rate of animal reproduction (繁殖). 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The effects of the research on agriculture. B. The shortcomings of the research at present. C. The influence of the research on climate change. D. The significance of the research findings in some fields. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在恶劣的环境中，成年植物会帮助较小的植物，从而生长良好这一新的研究。 【32题详解】 判断推理题。根据第一段“Contrary to the long­held belief that plants in natural world are always in competition, new research has found in bad environments mature (成熟的) plants help smaller ones — and thrive as a result. (与长期以来认为自然界中的植物总是在竞争的观点相反，新的研究发现，在恶劣的环境中，成熟的植物可以帮助较小的植物，并因此而茁壮成长)”以及第二段“What we have found surprising is that a strong large plant, called a “nurse”, shields a young one, and it also produces more flowers than those of similar size growing on their own.(我们发现令人惊讶的是，一种叫做“护士”的强壮的大型植物保护着一株幼树，而且它的花朵也比同类大小的植物自己生长的花朵多)”可知，大小植物相互扶持成长。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What we have found surprising is that a strong large plant, called a ‘nurse’, shields a young one, and it also produces more flowers than those of similar size growing on their own. (我们发现令人惊讶的是，一种叫做“护士”的强壮的大型植物保护着一株幼树，而且它的花朵也比同类大小的植物自己生长的花朵多)”可知，大型植物保护着小树，因此被称为“护士”。故选C项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Besides, vegetation of “nurse” and facilitated plants with more flowers might be able to attract a greater number and variety of pollinators (传粉昆虫) in an area. In turn, it supports insect and soil life, and even provides a larger range of different fruit types for birds and mammals. (此外，“护士”植物和易化植物有更多的花朵，可能能够吸引更多的种类和数量的传粉者在一个地区。反过来，它支持昆虫和土壤生命，甚至为鸟类和哺乳动物提供更多不同种类的水果)”可知，花朵的增加吸引了更多的物种，且也为动物提供不同的水果，这种生物多样性促进了生态循环。因此，文中的“this”指代生物多样性。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The research is likely to be of value to those who manage to protect plants in hostile and harsh environments(这项研究可能对那些在恶劣和恶劣环境中保护植物的人有价值)”以及“Most home gardeners and farmers are happy with the research as well, but the findings might be of more value to those who garden in harsh places. (大多数家庭园丁和农民也对这项研究感到满意，但这一发现可能对那些在恶劣环境下种植的人更有价值)”可知，最后一段主语讲述了这项研究的重要性。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） When you place an order on Taobao, you know the money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller.Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while.Then Alipay gives the money to the seller.___36___.It is a transfer (财产转让)station between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe.

I’ve witnessed one inspiring case. One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture’s center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet’s attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I’d give him some cookies he loved most. I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn’t a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn’t know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse’s kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again. The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog — a female — chewing on the alfalfa. She had to be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She’d probably come for the meat when I was out of sight. Minutes later, I realized I hadn’t yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created. 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。 Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph1： Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. The dog watched as I threw cookies over the fence. I noticed she hadn’t gotten the courage to venture outside the fence to get the meat. I went back to the porch, trying to think of a way to make the dog overcome her fear and come for the meat. Noticing Bullet was eating, the dog began to move forward slowly, watching me all the while. “He might share his alfalfa with you, but he’ll never let you eat his favorite cookies!” I said to myself. Paragraph 2： But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. The dog soon swallowed the cookie, and then took more. When Bullet walked back toward the tree’s shade, the dog walked along. All day long, they stayed together. The next day, Bullet still shared his food with the dog. And I managed to make the dog get out of the pasture and adopted her. Although she eventually warmed to me, she always loved Bullet’s company most. They’d run joyfully together and rest together. And often Bullet touched the dog with his nose and she licked his face. I knew they had become close friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者的牧场来了一只流浪狗，但作者的马Bullet并不介意这只狗，Bullet选择和这只狗共享自己的食物，它们之间产生了友谊。作者最终收养了狗，狗非常喜欢Bullet的陪伴，它们成了亲密的朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Bullet知道我拿着他的食物，赶紧站起来跑向我”可知，第一段可描写作者让狗克服恐惧过来吃东西，以及Bullet的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“但Bullet并不在意，因为狗跳了过去，拿走了一块饼干。”可知，第二段可描写Bullet和狗分享了自己爱吃的食物，以后它们最终成为朋友的经过。 2.续写线索：Bullet过来吃食物——狗恐惧——狗靠近Bullet——狗吃饼干——收养狗——狗和Bullet成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 拿着：carry/hold 尝试：try to/attempt to 开始：begin /start 情绪类 快速：quickly /rapidly 介意：care / mind 【点睛】[高分句型1] The dog watched as I threw cookies over the fence.

Competitors race between checkpoints 35 km apart, where they change horses. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the hospitality (好客) of friendly Mongolian families. Walker was an hour ahead of his rivals (对手) as the race entered its eighth day but dealt with a time punishment because his horse had a high heart rate during one of the regular checks which make sure that the animals were healthy. “I was in the lead for a long time but I had a bad vet check,” Walker said. “They check the heart rate of your horse to see if it is above 56 beats per minute. I picked a horse that had a bit of a problem.” Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realized that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland. “The horses are quite wild. I got bucked (颠) off three times. I fell off in a hole,” he said. “You’re going along and you suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.” Heffron met Walker as they went out for the race. He said it was important to form a team, mainly because falling off alone means that there is no one to help you recover your horse. “It’s also a bloody long way to talk to yourself,” Heffron said, “Neither of us had goals to win this race in advance but we realized: ‘We’re in front.’ So we pushed.” 24. What can we learn about the Mongol Derby? A. It provides accommodations in hotels. B. It allows competitors to change horses. C. It requires competitors be young and strong. D. It has been held every two years since 2021. 25. Why was Walker behind his rivals at last? A. His horse was in poor condition. B. He was punished for breaking rules. C. He failed to finish the race in given time. D. He got injured when he fell off the horse. 26. Which of the following best describes Walker? A. Creative. B. Confident. C. Warm-hearted. D. Strong-willed. 27. What does the story tell us? A. Success is hard won. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Many hands make light work. D. Everything comes to those who wait. C When Narayanswami was invited to a dinner by a friend who worked at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she was excited. Many of the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed some yearning(渴望),”she says, because someone told her “You should join the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor. “I said ‘Aren’t I too old?” He said “We’ve got students in their 80s.” Narayanswami grew up in Southwest London, and at grammar school suffered horrific racist bullying. The library provided shelter. But, as she reached her late teens, she feel family pressure for an arranged marriage; “I really protested,” she says. “But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise. As long as you are getting an education we will not look for a husband for you.” Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrew, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California. “Every time you move you get further away,” her dad remarked on the phone. “I didn’t feel I would be able to escape unless I did that,” she says. In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hours she needed to earn her pilot's license. Then she applied to Nasa’s astronaut corps, but received a very appreciative rejection. Even now, at 66, she says “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with it. It doesn’t go away.” The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow. Flying has helped. It is a workout: she has to tow the plane out to the taxiway. And it offers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills. Vaster than our hills,” she says. New possibilities have arisen—Narayanswami chairs the board of the General Aviation Awards in the US—but she finds relaxing difficult. In flight, she is part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio frequency. There is no sense of skin colour. We are all tied together by our voices. 28. How did the instructor’s words sound to Narayanswami? A. Disappointing. B. Embarrassing. C. Annoying. D. Encouraging. 29. What does the,underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Accepting an aged marriage. B. Receiving an education. C. Keeping a distance. D. Making a promise: 30. What does Narayanswami think of Nasa's rejection? A. It indicates prejudice against her. B. It ruins her childhood memory. C. It raises concern for her age. D. It leaves room for negotiation. 31. What does flying bring to Narayanswami? A. A good way of relaxation. B. A different dimension of life. C. A rich knowledge of wildlife. D. A full exhibition of leadership. D Contrary to the long­held belief that plants in natural world are always in competition, new research has found in bad environments mature (成熟的) plants help smaller ones — and thrive as a result. The research team, led by Dr.Rocio Pérez­Barrales studied adult and young plants in the “ecological desert” of soil in the south­east of Spain. The findings could have significance for those managing bad environments like coastal areas. Dr.Pérez­Barrales said, “What we have found surprising is that a strong large plant, called a ‘nurse’， shields a young one, and it also produces more flowers than those of similar size growing on their own.” Dr.Pérez­Barrales and her team studied plant growth in southern Spain for over three months during summer and found that the young and “nurse” are more likely to thrive when grown together, compared to either plant growing alone. The young plants benefit from shade, more moisture and more nutrients, from the leaf litter (落叶层) of the “nurse” plants, and probably higher bacteria and fungus (真菌) in the soil. As it matures, the “nurse” plant grows more flowers than those similar ones nearby growing alone, greatly increasing its chances of producing seeds and reproducing. Besides, vegetation of “nurse” and facilitated plants with more flowers might be able to attract a greater number and variety of pollinators (传粉昆虫) in an area. In turn, it supports insect and soil life, and even provides a larger range of different fruit types for birds and mammals. This is the greatest achievement of the ecosystem. The research is likely to be of value to those who manage to protect plants in hostile and harsh environments, such as shingle and sand­dune (沙丘) ecosystems, which are considered at high risk due to human action and climate change. Most home gardeners and farmers are happy with the research as well, but the findings might be of more value to those who garden in harsh places. 32. What's the finding of the study? A. The mature and smaller plants benefit each other when growing together. B. Large plants sacrifice themselves for the smaller ones. C. Young plants compete with the adults for larger space. D. Young plants struggle to survive in harsh environments. 33. Why is a plant called a “nurse”？ A. Because it produces more flowers. B. Because it competes with a larger one. C. Because it protects and helps the young. D. Because it grows well in bad environments. 34. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The natural selection. B. The biodiversity (生物多样性) in an area. C. The improvement of the soil. D. The high rate of animal reproduction (繁殖). 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The effects of the research on agriculture. B. The shortcomings of the research at present. C. The influence of the research on climate change. D. The significance of the research findings in some fields. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） When you place an order on Taobao, you know the money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller.Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while.Then Alipay gives the money to the seller.___36___.It is a transfer (财产转让)station between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe.

I’ve witnessed one inspiring case. One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture’s center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet’s attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I’d give him some cookies he loved most. I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn’t a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn’t know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse’s kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again. The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog — a female — chewing on the alfalfa. She had to be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She’d probably come for the meat when I was out of sight. Minutes later, I realized I hadn’t yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
