Flows of lava remained mostly contained within the peak’s huge caldera, but the eruption could pose a threat to nearby residents if conditions change, the United States Geological Survey reported at 11:45 pm local time Sunday about 15 minutes after the eruption inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Mauna Loa has been showing signs of erupting for years, according to the USGS, which said the ongoing eruption was visible from Kona, a town on the west coast of Hawaii’s main island about 72 kilometers from the volcano. “Lava is still erupting from the peak and is overflowing from the caldera,” the USGS said on its website, referring to the basin at the top of a volcano. While it added there were “no threats to populated areas currently,” it urged area residents to review preparation procedures. Hawaii authorities said no evacuation(撤离, 疏散) orders have been given, although the peak area and several roads in the region were closed, and two shelters have been opened. Robin George Andrews, a scientist, said a larger threat exists if lava begins to pour out of so-called rift zones(裂谷带). While there is no evidence yet of this occurring now on Mauna Loa, “the fact that it is a dangerous mountain that hasn’t erupted since 1984— the longest eruptive pause in its recorded history— is why we should all keep an eye on it,” Andrews said. One of six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands, Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843, according to USGS. The most recent eruption, in 1984, lasted 22 days and produced lava flows which reached to within about 7 kilometers of Hilo, a city to the northeast which is home to about 44, 000 people today. 4. Which of the following statements would USGS agree with? A. The eruption time is correctly predicted. B. The eruption is within expectation. C. The eruption results have been under control. D. The eruption will pose a threat to people living nearby. 5. What suggestion is given to residents in paragraph 4? A. Leaving their houses as soon as possible. B. Putting up more shelters in a short time. C. Listening to evacuation orders often. D. Making some preparations. 6. According to Robin George Andrews, what’s the potential danger? A. No one knows how to judge the eruptive pause. B. There are more people living near the rift zones. C. There is a possibility that the lava pours out of rift zones. D. All the six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands will erupt. 7. Why does the author write this passage? A. To give advice about protecting the environment. B. To stress the importance of natural’s power. C. To tell a piece of news to the readers. D. To introduce the history of volcanos. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述世界上最大的活火山在夏威夷爆发。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Mauna Loa has been showing signs of erupting for years, according to the USGS, which said the ongoing eruption was visible from Kona, a town on the west coast of Hawaii’s main island about 72 kilometers from the volcano. (据美国地质调查局称，多年来，Mauna Loa火山一直有喷发的迹象。该局表示，从夏威夷主岛西海岸的科纳镇可以看到正在进行的喷发，Kona镇距离火山约72公里。)”可知，美国地质调查局多年来就监测到它喷发的迹象，所以这一切在预料之中。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“While it added there were ‘no threats to populated areas currently,’ it urged area residents to review preparation procedures. (虽然它补充说‘目前人口稠密地区没有受到威胁’，但它敦促该地区居民审查准备程序。)”可知，美国地质调查局让当地居民做好一些（火山爆发灾难）的准备。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段“Robin George Andrews, a scientist, said a larger threat exists if lava begins to pour out of so-called rift zones(裂谷带). (科学家罗宾·乔治·安德鲁斯说，如果熔岩开始从所谓裂谷区涌出，就会面临更大的威胁)”可知，熔岩开始从所谓的裂谷区涌出将会是一个潜在的威胁。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, has erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years, US authorities said, erupting lava and ash Monday, Nov. 28th, 2022 as emergency crews went on alert. (美国当局表示，夏威夷的莫纳罗亚火山是世界上最大的活火山，近40年来首次喷发，于2022年11月28日星期一爆发熔岩和火山灰，紧急救援人员进入警戒状态。)”以及后文可知，作者主要告诉读者一条新闻——世界上最大的活火山在夏威夷爆发。故选C项。 C Sometimes there’s nothing better than the “rush” you feel when you’re going at high speeds. Or the wonder of going somewhere new and different, climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports like snowboarding. These are the adventures we “thrill seekers (寻找刺激的人)” live for. But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down. Recently I went quad biking (摩托车越野), or ATV driving, on a track in the mountains. After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets (头盔), started our engines and got onto the track. The sound of the engine was exciting. As I got more confident, I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I went ahead of the others. I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed. Luckily, I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV. If I had not, I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it. I might have even broken my neck. It ended up turning out fine, apart from some soreness (疼痛) in my chest for a week or so. This was a surprise for my friend. After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have very well died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day. That event was one I’ll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures, but be smart while you’re on them! 8. What did the author do before starting his quad biking adventure? A. He checked his ATV again and again. B. He shared his experience with other drivers. C He received some instruction and waited. D. He made a personal survey of the track. 9. What happened when the author tried to race down a small hill? A. He slowed down. B. He hit his friend’s ATV. C. He broke his neck and leg. D. He lost control of his ATV. 10. How would you describe the author ? A. Bold and careful. B. Humorous and smart. C. Adventurous and lucky. D. Risky and wise. 11. What’s the main message the author wants to convey in the text? A. Accidents are a natural part of adventures. B. It is fun to live an adventurous life. C. Never be afraid of failure in life. D. Keep safety in mind while on an adventure. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者有一次在北京郊外骑全地形车时因为冲得太快翻车受伤的经历，作者在这次经历后感悟到勇于冒险是件好事，但明智和谨慎也很重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets, started our engines and got onto the track.(经过简短的指导练习和漫长的等待后，我们戴上头盔，加速引擎，上了赛道。)”可知，作者在开始他冒险之前得到了一些指导，等待一段时间。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed.(我转向一座小山，冲了下来。我很快发现，这是一个很大的错误。我的全地形车全速翻了。)”可知，当作者试图从一座小山上冲下来时他的全地形车失控了。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“These are the adventures we “ thrill seekers” live for.(这些就是我们这些“寻求刺激的人”所向往的冒险”)以及第三段中的“After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have very well died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day.(看到事故后，他对我说：“兄弟，我以为你死了”。也许那天如果不是运气好，我很可能已经死了)”可知，作者在冒险中是非常热衷于刺激，同时又非常幸运地躲过了一场严重的事故，因此可以用“Adventurous and lucky”（冒险且幸运的）来形容他。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures- but be smart while you’re on them!(勇于冒险是件好事，但明智和谨慎也很重要。所以，去冒险吧——但在冒险的时候要聪明！)”可知，作者在文章中想要传达的主要信息是我们在冒险时要牢记安全。故选D。 D I’ve spent much of my life dealing with written and spoken words. Now I’m a technologist making use of natural language processing for human good. Given that I work in artificial intelligence(AI), I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are ruining the way we communicate. AI voices are normalized and yet cold, no matter which accent(口音)you set your Siri or Amazon Alexa into. It’s difficult to normalize language to be inoffensive because sometimes we do make people feel uncomfortable or even make them annoyed. Yet this is exactly what we’re asking artificial intelligence to do for us on a billion-person scale. Once these rules are carried out by machines, they’re unavoidable and create much bigger issues. We notice that there is an active desire to only include standardized language in AI-powered tools in an attempt to avoid including potentially hateful or offensive language. And these AI-powered tools are exactly what we use to complete our thoughts almost at any given time. They are everywhere—in our emails, word processors, and web pages. The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. But what’s the cost? We’re trading uniqueness and accuracy for convenience. We’re also handing the power of acceptable speech to machines not people. In the real world, people don’t communicate like a Wikipedia(维基百科) article. We use tone(语气), humor and facial expressions. We can tell where people were born based on their accents and wording. Humans are truly unique, and our communication is constantly changing. So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. We should demand to know how AI is developed and the data used to build it. Because we all deserve this. 12. What does the underlined word “inoffensive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Hateful B. Valuable C. Harmless D. Beneficial 13. How can we promote AI voice? A. AI voice should be legalized. B. AI voice should be modernized. C. AI voice should be standardized. D. AI voice should be personalized. 14. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. AI systems should be improved. B. AI systems deserve more support. C. AI systems are becoming more human like. D. AI systems are destroying our communication. 15. What’s the author’s tone in the passage? A. Praising. B. Concerned. C. Humorous. D. Matter-of-fact. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就人工智能的声音提出作者自己的看法，作者认为我们应该提升人工智能的开放。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“because sometimes we do make people feel uncomfortable or even make them annoyed.(因为有时我们确实会让人感到不舒服，甚至让他们恼火。)”可知这种语言会让人们不舒服、甚至很恼火。由于划线单词前有“difficult”，由此判断，划线单词和“让人舒服、对人无害”相关。选项A“Hateful (可恨的)”；选项B“Valuable (昂贵的)”；选项C“Harmless (无害的)”；选项D“Beneficial (有益的)”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. But what’s the cost? We’re trading uniqueness and accuracy for convenience. We’re also handing the power of acceptable speech to machines not people.(机器正在推动我们使用一种通用的语言，我们为了方便而接受它。但代价是什么呢？我们用独特性和准确性来换取便利性。)”可知，作者认为人工智能的声音应该更具有个性化、独特性。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“In the real world, people don’t communicate like a Wikipedia(维基百科) article. We use tone(语气), humor and facial expressions. We can tell where people were bon based on their accents and wording. Humans are truly unique, and our communication is constantly changing. So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. We should demand to know how AI is developed and the data used to build it. Because we all deserve this.(在现实世界中，人们不会像维基百科上的文章那样交流。我们使用语调、幽默和面部表情。我们可以根据人们的口音和措辞来判断他们来自哪里。人类确实是独一无二的，我们的交流方式也在不断变化。因此，我们应该要求人工智能系统促进个性和独特性。我们应该要求知道人工智能是如何开发的，以及用于构建人工智能的数据。因为这是我们应得的。)”可知，最后一段讲述的是在现实生活中，人类的交流要丰富有个性得多，因此，人工智能系统应该有所改进。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Given that I work in artificial intelligence(AI), I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are ruining the way we communicate.(鉴于我在人工智能(AI)领域工作，我意识到一些危险的事情正在发生。机器正在破坏我们的交流方式。)”、第三段“We’re trading uniqueness and accuracy for convenience.(我们用独特性和准确性来换取便利性。)”以及最后一段“So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. We should demand to know how AI is developed and the data used to build it. Because we all deserve this.(因此，我们应该要求人工智能系统促进个性和独特性。我们应该要求知道人工智能是如何开发的，以及用于构建人工智能的数据。因为这是我们应得的。)”可知，作者在这篇文章中表露出对人工智能声音的担忧。故选B。 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。 How to improve your writing skills Writing, like any other skill, is something we can get better at with time and practice.

Holes were used instead of cages, and zoo attendants worked hard to make each habitat different and exciting for the animals that lived there. The harbor seal pups (幼崽) in our care were kept in the back building, away from visitors. Twice a day, we’d take them to the man-made pond in the contact area for a swim. The pond was at the bottom of a waterfall of fresh, cold water. One day, as I was in the deep, icy water with two seal pups, some people gathered to watch. The pups swam close to me, surfacing occasionally to catch a breath and look around. I noticed a boy, about 10 years old, excitedly pointing at one and calling to his mother to come and see. Suddenly, the boy yelled, “Where is the other seal?” While one of the seals was scratching my leg, my eyes searched the pond for the other, Spica. The water was clear, as well as cold, and it was soon obvious Spica wasn’t where he should be. I was shocked as I realized he had swum under a rock formation, which was there to hide the drain (排水管). That area was too narrow for Spica to turn around in. “Oh no!” yelled the boy. “The little seal is under the rocks and can’t get out. He’s going to drown!” Everyone in the zoo came to the edge of the pond to watch the scene. I was frightened and asked another attendant to take the remaining pup to safety. I dove under to check the hole and found Spica trying to get through. 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。 Just then, Ken, who worked at the main zoo, arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As everyone was silent, Spica raised his head, making a soft, low sound. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, Ken, who worked at the main zoo, arrived. Calm and experienced, he immediately sized up the situation since he had dealt with many emergencies. Ken instructed me to fetch a net with a long handle. He then dived into the water, slowly approaching the area where Spica was trapped. Carefully, he inserted the net into the narrow space, trying to attract Spica into it. The seal pup was panicked, twisting about and making it difficult. But Ken didn’t rush, his steady hands and comforting words attempting to calm the distressed animal. As everyone was silent, Spica raised his head, making a soft, low sound. It was a painful cry that seemed to reach our hearts. Ken persisted, adjusting the position of the net. Finally, Spica, exhausted and desperate, swam into the net. Ken lifted it out of the water gently, the crowd erupting with cheers. I thanked Ken sincerely as he carried Spica to the shore, which was shaken but unharmed, swimming freely. The boy who had cried out earlier was beaming with relief, and the whole zoo seemed to breathe a collective sigh of happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在儿童动物园做服务员时，负责照顾斑海豹幼崽，当作者照例带斑海豹幼崽去人造池塘游泳时，一个小男孩发现其中一只斑海豹幼崽不见了，作者意识到它可能在岩层下边，而这会给它带来危险。作者潜入水中，发现了它。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，在主动物园工作的肯来了。”可知，第一段可描写肯到达后，采取措施营救海豹幼崽Spica的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当所有人都沉默时，Spica抬起头，发出一声轻柔而低沉的声音。”可知，第二段可描写海豹幼崽Spica成功逃脱回到安全处，观众欢呼及作者的感慨。 2.续写线索：肯到达并采取行动——救援措施及过程——Spica成功脱险——观众欢呼——作者感慨 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①处理、应对：deal with/address ②指挥：instruct/guide ③安抚：calm/reassure 情绪类 ①惊慌的：panicked/alarmed ②幸福：happiness/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型1】He then dived into the water, slowly approaching the area where Spica was trapped.（运用了where引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The boy who had cried out earlier was beaming with relief, and the whole zoo seemed to breathe a collective sigh of happiness.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南昌二中2024-2025学年度上学期高一英语期末试卷 第一部分：听力理解（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B World’s Largest Active Volcano Erupts in Hawaii Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, has erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years, US authorities said, erupting lava and ash Monday, Nov. 28th, 2022 as emergency crews went on alert. Flows of lava remained mostly contained within the peak’s huge caldera, but the eruption could pose a threat to nearby residents if conditions change, the United States Geological Survey reported at 11:45 pm local time Sunday about 15 minutes after the eruption inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Mauna Loa has been showing signs of erupting for years, according to the USGS, which said the ongoing eruption was visible from Kona, a town on the west coast of Hawaii’s main island about 72 kilometers from the volcano. “Lava is still erupting from the peak and is overflowing from the caldera,” the USGS said on its website, referring to the basin at the top of a volcano. While it added there were “no threats to populated areas currently,” it urged area residents to review preparation procedures. Hawaii authorities said no evacuation(撤离, 疏散) orders have been given, although the peak area and several roads in the region were closed, and two shelters have been opened. Robin George Andrews, a scientist, said a larger threat exists if lava begins to pour out of so-called rift zones(裂谷带). While there is no evidence yet of this occurring now on Mauna Loa, “the fact that it is a dangerous mountain that hasn’t erupted since 1984— the longest eruptive pause in its recorded history— is why we should all keep an eye on it,” Andrews said. One of six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands, Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843, according to USGS. The most recent eruption, in 1984, lasted 22 days and produced lava flows which reached to within about 7 kilometers of Hilo, a city to the northeast which is home to about 44, 000 people today. 4. Which of the following statements would USGS agree with? A. The eruption time is correctly predicted. B. The eruption is within expectation. C. The eruption results have been under control. D. The eruption will pose a threat to people living nearby. 5. What suggestion is given to residents in paragraph 4? A. Leaving their houses as soon as possible. B. Putting up more shelters in a short time. C. Listening to evacuation orders often. D. Making some preparations. 6. According to Robin George Andrews, what’s the potential danger? A. No one knows how to judge the eruptive pause. B. There are more people living near the rift zones. C. There is a possibility that the lava pours out of rift zones. D. All the six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands will erupt. 7. Why does the author write this passage? A. To give advice about protecting the environment. B. To stress the importance of natural’s power. C. To tell a piece of news to the readers. D. To introduce the history of volcanos. C Sometimes there’s nothing better than the “rush” you feel when you’re going at high speeds. Or the wonder of going somewhere new and different, climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports like snowboarding. These are the adventures we “thrill seekers (寻找刺激的人)” live for. But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down. Recently, I went quad biking (摩托车越野), or ATV driving, on a track in the mountains. After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets (头盔), started our engines and got onto the track. The sound of the engine was exciting. As I got more confident, I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I went ahead of the others. I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed. Luckily, I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV. If I had not, I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it. I might have even broken my neck. It ended up turning out fine, apart from some soreness (疼痛) in my chest for a week or so. This was a surprise for my friend. After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have very well died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day. That event was one I’ll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures, but be smart while you’re on them! 8. What did the author do before starting his quad biking adventure? A. He checked his ATV again and again. B. He shared his experience with other drivers. C. He received some instruction and waited. D. He made a personal survey of the track. 9. What happened when the author tried to race down a small hill? A. He slowed down. B. He hit his friend’s ATV. C He broke his neck and leg. D. He lost control of his ATV. 10. How would you describe the author ? A. Bold and careful. B. Humorous and smart. C. Adventurous and lucky. D. Risky and wise. 11. What’s the main message the author wants to convey in the text? A. Accidents are a natural part of adventures. B. It is fun to live an adventurous life. C. Never be afraid of failure in life. D. Keep safety in mind while on an adventure. D I’ve spent much of my life dealing with written and spoken words. Now I’m a technologist making use of natural language processing for human good. Given that I work in artificial intelligence(AI), I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are ruining the way we communicate. AI voices are normalized and yet cold, no matter which accent(口音)you set your Siri or Amazon Alexa into. It’s difficult to normalize language to be inoffensive because sometimes we do make people feel uncomfortable or even make them annoyed. Yet this is exactly what we’re asking artificial intelligence to do for us on a billion-person scale. Once these rules are carried out by machines, they’re unavoidable and create much bigger issues. We notice that there is an active desire to only include standardized language in AI-powered tools in an attempt to avoid including potentially hateful or offensive language. And these AI-powered tools are exactly what we use to complete our thoughts almost at any given time. They are everywhere—in our emails, word processors, and web pages. The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. But what’s the cost? We’re trading uniqueness and accuracy for convenience. We’re also handing the power of acceptable speech to machines not people. In the real world, people don’t communicate like a Wikipedia(维基百科) article. We use tone(语气), humor and facial expressions. We can tell where people were born based on their accents and wording. Humans are truly unique, and our communication is constantly changing. So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. We should demand to know how AI is developed and the data used to build it. Because we all deserve this. 12. What does the underlined word “inoffensive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Hateful B. Valuable C. Harmless D. Beneficial 13. How can we promote AI voice? A. AI voice should be legalized. B. AI voice should be modernized. C. AI voice should be standardized. D. AI voice should be personalized. 14. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. AI systems should be improved. B. AI systems deserve more support. C. AI systems are becoming more human like. D. AI systems are destroying our communication. 15. What’s the author’s tone in the passage? A. Praising. B. Concerned. C. Humorous. D. Matter-of-fact. 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。 How to improve your writing skills Writing, like any other skill, is something we can get better at with time and practice.

The children’s zoo was ahead of its time. Holes were used instead of cages, and zoo attendants worked hard to make each habitat different and exciting for the animals that lived there. The harbor seal pups (幼崽) in our care were kept in the back building, away from visitors. Twice a day, we’d take them to the man-made pond in the contact area for a swim. The pond was at the bottom of a waterfall of fresh, cold water. One day, as I was in the deep, icy water with two seal pups, some people gathered to watch. The pups swam close to me, surfacing occasionally to catch a breath and look around. I noticed a boy, about 10 years old, excitedly pointing at one and calling to his mother to come and see. Suddenly, the boy yelled, “Where is the other seal?” While one of the seals was scratching my leg, my eyes searched the pond for the other, Spica. The water was clear, as well as cold, and it was soon obvious Spica wasn’t where he should be. I was shocked as I realized he had swum under a rock formation, which was there to hide the drain (排水管). That area was too narrow for Spica to turn around in. “Oh no!” yelled the boy. “The little seal is under the rocks and can’t get out. He’s going to drown!” Everyone in the zoo came to the edge of the pond to watch the scene. I was frightened and asked another attendant to take the remaining pup to safety. I dove under to check the hole and found Spica trying to get through. 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。 Just then, Ken, who worked at the main zoo, arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As everyone was silent, Spica raised his head, making a soft, low sound. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
