Born in 1742 in present-day Germany, Scheele learned about chemicals from his parents starting at a young age. When he was 14, he was sent away to Gothenburg (哥德堡) to become the apprentice (学徒) of a family friend. There he spent eight years studying chemistry and conducting experiments late into the night. Next, Scheele moved around the Holy Roman Empire, working for different chemists and becoming more learned in his trade. In 1767, he moved to Stockholm, where he discovered tartaric acid (酒石酸). After three years in Stockholm, he became the director of the Locke Laboratory. It was there, while he was analyzing a strange reaction, that Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen. He called the element “fire air” because he believed, based on the theories of his time, that a substance that made up fire was released from items when they burned. Scheele believed oxygen to be this substance, not understanding that oxygen is merely an element that facilitates (促进) the chemical reaction that is fire. As historic as this discovery was, Scheele seldom got credit for it, largely because English scientist Joseph Priestley published findings on oxygen before Scheele, even though it is now generally accepted that Scheele made the actual discovery first. Through his work, he thus exposed himself to many harmful materials. These chemicals had a deadly effect on Scheele, and he eventually died of kidney failure in 1786. Sadly, in spite of his many achievements and the fact that he gave his life to chemistry, Carl Wilhelm Scheele is often forgotten in the history of science. Though he discovered many elements before other better-known scientists did, his unwillingness to both attend meetings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and to publish his work allowed other scientists to take credit for discoveries that he had made. 4. Who first taught Chemistry to Scheele? A. His parents. B. Joseph Priestley. C. His family friend. D. The Holy Roman Empire. 5. When did Schele probably discover oxygen? A. In 1745. B. In 1767. C. In 1770. D. In 1789. 6. What do the underlined words “the element” refer to? A. Oxygen. B. Tartaric acid. C. The strange reaction. D. The chemical experiment. 7. What can we learn about Scheele from the text? A. He has been world-famous since the 1700s. B. He actually died due to his dangerous work. C. He discovered oxygen later than Joseph Priestley. D. He thought his findings were not valuable at all. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是科学家Carl Wilhelm Scheele的生平和主要成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Born in 1742 in present-day Germany, Scheele learned about chemicals from his parents starting at a young age.(舍勒于1742年出生在现在的德国，很小的时候就从父母那里学会了化学。)”可知，第一个教Scheele化学的是他的父母。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 1767, he moved to Stockholm, where he discovered tartaric acid.(1767年，他移居斯德哥尔摩，在那里他发现了酒石酸。)”和第三段“After three years in Stockholm, he became the director of the Locke Laboratory. It was there, while he was analyzing a strange reaction, that Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen.(在斯德哥尔摩呆了三年之后，他成为了洛克实验室的主任。正是在那里，当他在分析一个奇怪的反应时，Scheele成为第一个发现氧气的人。)”可推知，Scheele可能是1770年发现氧气的，故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen.(Scheele成为第一个发现氧气的人。)”和第四段该词后的“Scheele believed oxygen to be this substance(Scheele认为氧是这种物质)”可知该词指代“氧气”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Through his work, he thus exposed himself to many harmful materials. These chemicals had a deadly effect on Scheele, and he eventually died of kidney failure in 1786.(通过他的工作，他接触到了许多有害物质。这些化学物质对舍勒产生了致命的影响，他最终于1786年死于肾衰竭。)”可知，Scheele实际上是由于他的危险工作而死的。故选B。 C A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 8. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 9. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 10. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文，主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，交通噪音会影响小鸟的成长并导致终身伤害，这也引发了对噪音污染对野生动物和人类影响的新的担忧。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）—about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments—road noise or bird songs—for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests.”（迪肯大学的行为生态学家Mylene Mariette和她的团队开始用澳大利亚墨尔本校园里饲养的鸟类来回答这个问题。连续5个晚上，他们连续几个小时播放道路噪音或鸟鸣。这些声音的音量被控制在65分贝——大约与酒吧里的谈话或城市交通中的声音相同。其他的蛋被静静地留在那里。蛋孵化后，雏鸟在接下来的9个晚上接受两种处理方式中的一种——道路噪音或鸟鸣。幼鸟在一个单独的房间里听到了这些声音，然后被送回了它们的巢。）可知，第三段主要关于研究的过程。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters.”（与那些暴露在歌声中的蛋相比，暴露在交通声音中的蛋孵化的可能性要低19%。Mariette说，这显示了交通噪音的明显影响。随着幼鸟的发育，它们也表现出令人担忧的发育迹象。那些暴露在噪音中的鸟生长得更慢。此外，当这些鸟长大后，它们的后代数量大约是幼年时听过歌声的鸟的一半。）可知，第4段通过对比解释调查结果。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.”（研究结果表明，城市和高速公路沿线鸟类的声环境应该得到更好的管理，”他写道，“医院环境中孕妇和婴儿的声舒适需要特别注意。”）可知，要特别注意婴儿的医院环境。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm.”（一项关于幼鸟的新研究表明，交通噪音会影响它们的生长，并导致终身伤害。）可知，主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，交通噪音会影响小鸟的成长并导致终身伤害，这也引发了对噪音污染对野生动物和人类影响的新的担忧。所以短文的标题为“交通噪音对幼鸟造成终身伤害”。故选D。 D A bot is a software program that often works by itself on the internet to perform the same kinds of actions as humans do. The report, produced by California-based internet security company Imperva, found that 49.6 percent of worldwide internet traffic (互联网流量) came from bots in 2023, while from human users fell to 50.4 percent. Imperva’s study also found that web traffic linked to “bad bots” grew to 32 percent in 2023, a rise of 30.2 percent from 2022. Nanhi Singh, a security advisor at Imperva, said that bots are currently one of growing threats facing almost every industry. Bots are generally designed to visit websites and independently search for many kinds of online information. They are able to operate at much greater speeds than humans and can process repeated searches and process large amounts of data. Online search advisor Yoast notes that some bots are considered good because they can be useful to individuals through tools such as OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT. Some others are considered malicious, because they are trained to hack, or break into network computer systems. These kinds of bots pretend themselves as humans and collect private data or financial information that can be used to commit crimes. And some bots are even designed to spread misinformation and false news. The study also suggested that some countries have a much bigger problem with bad bots than others. Web traffic linked to bad bots in 2023 accounted for 71 percent in Ireland while Germany was next, with 67.5 percent. The percentage of Mexico and the USA was reported to be 42.8 percent and 35.4 percent respectively. Imperva even reported that bad bot activity would lead to account takeovers, which increased 10 percent in 2023 over 2022. The highest number of account takeovers — 36.8 percent — happened in the financial services industry. Next was the travel industry, with 11.5 percent, followed by business services at eight percent. Nanhi Singh said the problem is likely to worsen in coming years to the point where such bots would exist everywhere. She urged organizations to introduce bot management and security tools in an effort to limit automated traffic and prevent dangerous account takeovers. 12. What did Imperva’s study find? A. Bad bots caused 49.6% of web traffic in 2023. B. Traffic from human users fell to the second in 2023. C. Web traffic linked to “bad bots” rose sharply in 2023. D. Nearly half of the world’s web traffic was caused by bad bots in 2023. 13. What does the underlined word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Useful. B. Dependable. C. Harmful. D. Irresponsible. 14. What is Nanhi Singh’s attitude towards current situation of web traffic? A. Optimistic. B. Satisfied. C. Concerned. D. Conservative. 15. What can be learned about bots from the passage? A. Every industry is currently threatened by bots. B. Bots can be both helpful and troublesome. C. Bots can search for online information by themselves. D. Web traffic linked to bad bots was the most serious problem in Ireland in 2023. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了互联网安全公司Imperva发现全球近半互联网流量是机器人产生的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The report, produced by California-based internet security company Imperva, found that 49.6 percent of worldwide internet traffic (互联网流量) came from bots in 2023, while from human users fell to 50.4 percent. Imperva’s study also found that web traffic linked to “bad bots” grew to 32 percent in 2023, a rise of 30.2 percent from 2022.(这份由总部位于加州的网络安全公司Imperva制作的报告发现，到2023年，全球49.6%的互联网流量来自机器人，而来自人类用户的流量则降至50.4%。Imperva的研究还发现，与“不良机器人”相关的网络流量在2023年增长到32%，比2022年增长了30.2%)”可知，与坏机器人相关的流量在2023年急剧增长。故选C。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Online search advisor Yoast notes that some bots are considered good because they can be useful to individuals through tools such as OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT.(在线搜索顾问Yoast指出，一些机器人被认为是好的，因为它们可以通过OpenAI的聊天机器人ChatGPT等工具对个人有用)”以及后文“because they are trained to hack, or break into network computer systems”可知，它们被训练去非法入侵或闯入计算机网络系统，即其他机器人被认为是有害的。故划线词意思是“有害的”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nanhi Singh said the problem is likely to worsen in coming years to the point where such bots would exist everywhere.(南希·辛格说，这个问题在未来几年可能会恶化，直到这样的机器人无处不在)”可知，他的态度是担心的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Online search advisor Yoast notes that some bots are considered good because they can be useful to individuals through tools such as OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT. Some others are considered malicious, because they are trained to hack, or break into network computer systems.(在线搜索顾问Yoast指出，一些机器人被认为是好的，因为它们可以通过OpenAI的聊天机器人ChatGPT等工具对个人有用。其他一些人被认为是恶意的，因为他们受过黑客攻击或闯入网络计算机系统的训练)”可知，机器人即可以是有帮助的，也可以是麻烦的。故选B。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，每题2.5，共12.5分。 Self-improvement is universal to the human experience. ____16____ Perhaps you want to lose weight, improve your skills in a certain area, be more comfortable socially, be happier, or be more productive.

Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We are both very hard-working and always get good grades at school. Last Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. Thinking it was quite easy, I was not worried about the results at all. I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz, saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade. Unexpectedly, the next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! My heart sank and a great sense of shame washed over me; I must be really stupid to fail a simple math quiz! Afterwards, I pretended to be cheerful, as if nothing had happened, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom before lunch, Hannah tried to figure out what the matter was. Struggling to hold back my tears, I admitted I had failed the math quiz. “But you are a born math genius and you have put all your efforts in it. There must be some mistakes!” Hannah couldn’t believe her ears. “I shouldn’t have been so confident. Would you please keep it a secret for me?” I begged. Hannah nodded, promising not to tell anyone else about the secret. However, that afternoon I noticed that my classmates were staring at me as I came into math class and, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “Stupid Sarah got a D!” I was so upset that I felt like crying. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back! 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。 I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, my math teacher came to me, apologizing for his carelessness. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. “Why didn’t you keep my grade as a secret as promised?” I shouted at Hannah, glaring at her, my eyes burning with annoyance and disappointment. Surprised and innocent, she explained that she didn’t betray me. However, I couldn’t compose myself that I covered my ears with both hands, refusing to hear even a single word from her. Hannah bit her lips nervously, trying to hold back her tears. Then, she cast an anxious look at me, dashed out of the classroom and rushed to the math teacher’s office. “What is she doing?” I thought to myself. The next morning, the math teacher approached me, apologizing for his carelessness. A sense of shock choked my words. Only then did I realize that I misunderstood my best friend Hannah. With a wave of shame and embarrassment flooding over me, I walked slowly to Hannah, sincerely expressing my apology. To my surprise, she thumbed up, spread her arms, and hugged me tightly. Since then, our friendship has been further strengthened. Actually, nothing can defeat real friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我和汉娜之间友谊经受考验的一件小事：在一次数学考试后，我被数学老师告知数学没有及格。上厕所时，我把秘密告诉了我最好的朋友汉娜，并请求她不要告诉别人。但是，那天下午我就发现有同学在我的桌子贴了一张写有羞辱话语的纸条。这让我认定是汉娜把我的秘密告诉了别人，并找到汉娜对她进行了指责。第二天早晨，数学老师找到我，并向我解释，是她弄错了成绩。我才知道自己冤枉了汉娜，因此找到汉娜进行道歉。两人重归于好，友谊得到进一步升华。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我非常生气，直接去找汉娜”可知，第一段可描写作者与汉娜发生误会的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，数学老师来找我，为他的粗心道歉”可知，第二段可描写数学老师为他的粗心向我道歉。从而知道自己误会了汉娜。因此，本段写我在数学老师的开导下，与汉娜解除误会的过程。并通过此事让我们的友谊得到升华。 2.续写线索：找到汉娜——爆发冲突——汉娜解释——作者拒绝接受——数学老师道歉——作者认识到错误——修复友谊——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①克制：hold back /contain ②拒绝：refuse/decline ③意识到：realize /be aware of 情绪类 ①愤怒：annoyance/anger ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hannah bit her lips nervously, trying to hold back her tears.

B Carl Wilhelm Scheele ranks as one of the greatest scientists of all time, but he paid a big price for this honor. Born in 1742 in present-day Germany, Scheele learned about chemicals from his parents starting at a young age. When he was 14, he was sent away to Gothenburg (哥德堡) to become the apprentice (学徒) of a family friend. There he spent eight years studying chemistry and conducting experiments late into the night. Next, Scheele moved around the Holy Roman Empire, working for different chemists and becoming more learned in his trade. In 1767, he moved to Stockholm, where he discovered tartaric acid (酒石酸). After three years in Stockholm, he became the director of the Locke Laboratory. It was there, while he was analyzing a strange reaction, that Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen. He called the element “fire air” because he believed, based on the theories of his time, that a substance that made up fire was released from items when they burned. Scheele believed oxygen to be this substance, not understanding that oxygen is merely an element that facilitates (促进) the chemical reaction that is fire. As historic as this discovery was, Scheele seldom got credit for it, largely because English scientist Joseph Priestley published findings on oxygen before Scheele, even though it is now generally accepted that Scheele made the actual discovery first. Through his work he thus exposed himself to many harmful materials. These chemicals had a deadly effect on Scheele, and he eventually died of kidney failure in 1786. Sadly, in spite of his many achievements and the fact that he gave his life to chemistry, Carl Wilhelm Scheele is often forgotten in the history of science. Though he discovered many elements before other better-known scientists did, his unwillingness to both attend meetings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and to publish his work allowed other scientists to take credit for discoveries that he had made. 4. Who first taught Chemistry to Scheele? A. His parents. B. Joseph Priestley. C. His family friend. D. The Holy Roman Empire. 5. When did Schele probably discover oxygen? A. In 1745. B. In 1767. C. In 1770. D. In 1789. 6. What do the underlined words “the element” refer to? A. Oxygen. B. Tartaric acid. C. The strange reaction. D. The chemical experiment. 7. What can we learn about Scheele from the text? A. He has been world-famous since the 1700s. B. He actually died due to his dangerous work. C. He discovered oxygen later than Joseph Priestley. D. He thought his findings were not valuable at all. C A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 8. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 9. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 10. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds D A bot is a software program that often works by itself on the internet to perform the same kinds of actions as humans do. The report, produced by California-based internet security company Imperva, found that 49.6 percent of worldwide internet traffic (互联网流量) came from bots in 2023, while from human users fell to 50.4 percent. Imperva’s study also found that web traffic linked to “bad bots” grew to 32 percent in 2023, a rise of 30.2 percent from 2022. Nanhi Singh, a security advisor at Imperva, said that bots are currently one of growing threats facing almost every industry. Bots are generally designed to visit websites and independently search for many kinds of online information. They are able to operate at much greater speeds than humans and can process repeated searches and process large amounts of data. Online search advisor Yoast notes that some bots are considered good because they can be useful to individuals through tools such as OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT. Some others are considered malicious, because they are trained to hack, or break into network computer systems. These kinds of bots pretend themselves as humans and collect private data or financial information that can be used to commit crimes. And some bots are even designed to spread misinformation and false news. The study also suggested that some countries have a much bigger problem with bad bots than others. Web traffic linked to bad bots in 2023 accounted for 71 percent in Ireland while Germany was next, with 67.5 percent. The percentage of Mexico and the USA was reported to be 42.8 percent and 35.4 percent respectively. Imperva even reported that bad bot activity would lead to account takeovers, which increased 10 percent in 2023 over 2022.

Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We are both very hard-working and always get good grades at school. Last Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. Thinking it was quite easy, I was not worried about the results at all. I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz, saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade. Unexpectedly, the next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! My heart sank and a great sense of shame washed over me; I must be really stupid to fail a simple math quiz! Afterwards I pretended to be cheerful, as if nothing had happened, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom before lunch, Hannah tried to figure out what the matter was. Struggling to hold back my tears, I admitted I had failed the math quiz. “But you are a born math genius and you have put all your efforts in it. There must be some mistakes!” Hannah couldn’t believe her ears. “I shouldn’t have been so confident. Would you please keep it a secret for me?” I begged. Hannah nodded, promising not to tell anyone else about the secret. However, that afternoon I noticed that my classmates were staring at me as I came into math class and, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “Stupid Sarah got a D!” I was so upset that I felt like crying. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back! 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。 I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, my math teacher came to me, apologizing for his carelessness. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
