【2题详解】

From a young age, I would climb up and down for fun. My first introduction to gymnastics was through my older sister Arielle, who used to be a gymnast. She taught me how to do my first cartwheel(侧手翻). By the end of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid in gymnastics.”
At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path. I was used to the public eye, but the Olympic stage was different. The Olympics teach you to act in a certain way and to be disciplined(守纪律的). They teach you to be a mature young lady, and you grow up fast.
When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics. I thought it was: Training. I had to quit a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’t mind. I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a different coach. I sacrificed my privacy. Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep with. It takes a lot to be an Olympic athlete. You may have a talent, but the people who work harder than you will overtake you.
Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me. When someone tells you that you can’ do it, especially when there are many people, you start to believe it. It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics. Fear held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it. I went to the world championships and got a team gold.
I won three gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and helped Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 World Championships. My mom used to say, “Inspire a generation.” It’s one thing when you say it, but I never thought that I would be a pioneer and that people would draw inspiration from my story.
4. Why did the author’ sister suggest putting her in gymnastics?
A. Because she was talented in gymnastics.
B. Because she needed to decide her future career.
C. Because she was too noisy to stay at home.
D. Because she had fallen in love with gymnastics.
5. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?
A. She left school at an early age.
B. She devoted great efforts to training.
C. She thought talent was necessary.
D. She dreamed of being famous one day.
6. What did the author learn from others’ doubt?

【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述了作者的成功之路,作者自小学习体操,刻苦训练,虽然也有怀疑和不坚定,但作者最终赢得了奥运会体操金牌和世锦赛的冠军,成就了传奇人生。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段后两句“She taught me how to do my first cartwheel(侧手翻). By the end of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid in gymnastics.”(她教我第一次侧手翻。到了周末,我开始自学单臂侧手翻,我姐姐对我妈妈说:“你得让这孩子练体操。”)”可知,可知作者的姐姐教作者如何做侧手翻,到那个星期结束的时候,作者已经在自学一只手的侧手翻了,这说明作者非常有体操天赋,所以作者的姐姐建议送作者去学体操。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I had to give up a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’t mind. I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a different coach. I sacrificed my privacy. Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep. It takes a lot to be an Olympic athlete.( 为了体操,我不得不放弃正常的生活,但我不介意。我从弗吉尼亚海滩搬到爱荷华,换了个教练。我牺牲了我的隐私。体操是我吃、呼吸和睡觉的东西。成为一名奥林匹克运动员需要付出很多。)”可知,为了学习体操作者放弃了正常人的生活,牺牲了自己的私人空间,远离家乡,跟随教练学习并刻苦训练,由此可知,作者为了训练付出了很多努力。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics. Fear held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it. I went to the world championships and got a team gold.( 我花了很多年才发现自己的体操有多棒。2011年,当我的腿受伤时,恐惧阻止了我,但我告诉自己,我有天赋,我要利用它。我参加了世界锦标赛,获得了一枚团体金牌。)”可知,当别人怀疑作者的时候,作者会对自己说自己很有体操天赋,而且会运用自己的天赋获得金牌,由此推断,别人的怀疑让作者明白要有自信。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path.(大约在9岁的时候,我意识到我想要追求奥林匹克之路。)”,第三段中的“When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics. I thought it was: Training. I had to quit a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’ mind.(当我开始这段旅程时,我从来不知道参加奥运会到底需要什么。我以为是:训练。我不得不放弃体操的正常生活,但我并不介意。)”,第四段中的“Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me.(在我的整个职业生涯中,很多人都怀疑我。)”以及尾段中的“I won three gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and helped Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 World Championships.(我在2012年伦敦奥运会和2016年里约奥运会上获得了三枚金牌,并帮助美国队在2011年和2015年世界锦标赛上赢得了金牌。)”可知,作者通过自己的不懈努力,经历了别人的怀疑,最终赢得了奥运会体操金牌并且帮助美国队在世界锦标赛中赢得了金牌,实现了自己的人生价值,由此看出文章主要讲述了作者的成功之路。故选B项。
C
Museums have regained their popularity among young people because of social media, but one person shared on Twitter that people shouldn’t use such ways for their photos. Milo Atienza Parada, an Instagram user, said that people have been going to museums for the sake of taking selfies(自拍)to be posted on their social media. Although there is nothing wrong with it, he still thinks that museums are places of art appreciation(欣赏).
Last month, the National Museum of the Philippines opened its newest building to the public — the National Museum of Natural History. It houses the country’s collections of plants and animals. According to its Facebook post, visitors are not allowed to engage in photography. They are also not allowed to take videos or touch museum objects. However, Parada has noticed that many people have been touching artworks during their visit. Besides, the museum has been turned into a place to take photos.
“For visitors who only wish to enjoy artworks taking selfies bothers them,” said Parada. “They will feel angry when seeing some people taking selfies with great artworks they want to enjoy.”
But some museums are now accepting the selfie phenomenon(现象). The Artists’ Network shared that the popularity of selfies is an important factor in making people visit museums. The Frick Collection in New York City allows people to take selfies with the artworks. “If they share those images on social media, museums will get a much appreciated’ word of mouth’ result. Search for information about museum selfies on the Internet and you’ll be surprised by all the fun ways people put themselves and objects of art and history together. And that makes other people visit these museums in person,” Heidi Rosenau, the Frick’s communication director said.
8. Why is Parada against taking selfies in museums?
A. It may put pressure on museum management.
B. It affects the popularity of social media sites.
C. It may take people’s focus away from artworks.
D. It damages artworks that should avoid flash photography.
9. What can be learned about the mentioned museum from Paragraph 2?
A. Many visitors are blind to its rules.
B. Many visitors disagree with its rules.
C. It should set up some photo-taking areas.
D. It needs to spend more on protecting artworks.
10. According to Paragraph 4, taking selfies in museums can ________
A. leave some special memories for visitors
B. offer a new chance to express people’s creativity
C. draw people’s attention to the protection of artworks
D. promote the artworks and the museums to the public
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The influences of social media on the changes in museums.
B. Some benefits and harm of taking selfies in museums.
C. Some common behaviors among visitors to museums.
D. Different creative ideas for taking selfies in different museums.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体对博物馆参观行为的影响,包括自拍现象在博物馆中的普及、不同博物馆对自拍行为的不同态度以及自拍对博物馆参观体验和宣传的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““For visitors who only wish to enjoy artworks, taking selfies bothers them,” said Parada. “They will feel angry when seeing some people taking selfies with great artworks they want to enjoy.”(“对于那些只想欣赏艺术品的参观者来说,自拍行为会打扰到他们,”Parada说,“当看到有人与他们想要欣赏的伟大艺术品自拍时,他们会感到恼火。”)”可知,Parada认为对于只想欣赏艺术品的参观者来说,自拍行为打扰到了他们,使人们的注意力从艺术品上转移开,所以他反对在博物馆自拍。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to its Facebook post, visitors are not allowed to engage in photography. They are also not allowed to take videos or touch museum objects. However, Parada has noticed that many people have been touching artworks during their visit. Besides, the museum has been turned into a place to take photos.(根据其脸书帖子内容,参观者不允许拍照,也不允许拍摄视频或触摸馆内展品。然而,Parada注意到,很多人在参观时会触摸艺术品。此外,博物馆已沦为一个拍照之地。)”可知,该博物馆在脸书上发布规定,参观者不允许拍照、拍视频或触摸展品。然而很多参观者在参观时触摸艺术品且将博物馆当作拍照之地,无视了博物馆的规定。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段““If they share those images on social media, museums will get a much appreciated’ word of mouth’ result. Search for information about museum selfies on the Internet and you’ll be surprised by all the fun ways people put themselves and objects of art and history together. And that makes other people visit these museums in person,” Heidi Rosenau, the Frick’s communication director said.(“如果他们在社交媒体上分享这些照片,博物馆将获得备受赞赏的“口碑”效应。在网上搜索关于博物馆自拍的信息,你会惊讶地发现人们将自己与艺术和历史展品融合在一起的各种有趣方式。这会促使其他人亲自前来参观这些博物馆,” 弗里克收藏馆的公关总监Heidi Rosenau说道。)”可知,如果人们在社交媒体上分享在博物馆自拍的照片,博物馆会得到口碑传播,吸引其他人亲自来参观,这说明在博物馆自拍能向公众宣传艺术品和博物馆。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章前半部分通过 Parada 的观点阐述了在博物馆自拍的弊端,如影响他人欣赏艺术品等;后半部分指出一些博物馆接受自拍现象,因其能通过社交媒体宣传博物馆,带来积极影响,所以文章主要讲的是在博物馆自拍的一些好处与坏处。故选B。
D

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus (柑橘) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruit and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereals (谷类食品), and rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.(他们说人们每天应该吃几种食物。它们是:(1)各种绿色和黄色蔬菜;(2)柑橘类水果和西红柿;(3)土豆和其他水果、蔬菜;(4)各种肉类、鱼类和蛋类;(5)牛奶和奶制品;(6)面包或谷类食品,大米也属于这类食物;(7)黄油或类似黄油的东西)”可知,人们每天应该吃七种食物,说明这七种食物里的一些东西对人们来说很重要。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways.(世界上不同国家和不同地方的人吃不同种类的食物。食物有许多不同的烹饪和食用方式)”可知,世界上不同国家和不同地方的人以不同的方式吃食物。故选D项。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.(那么,在养活地球上大量人口方面存在两个问题。首先是找到一些方法来养活世界人口,这样就没有人挨饿了。第二是确保世界各地的人们都有适当的食物,使他们长得强壮和健康)”可知,段中提出要养活全球人口面临的两个问题,按照行文逻辑,接下来很可能会讨论如何解决这两个问题。故选B项。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
While the Internet has guaranteed the place of English as the most used language, Chinese still holds the top position as the most used mother tongue. Since Shang dynasty, Chinese people ___36___ (use) a complete system of characters. One of the great advantages of using one single writing system is that people ___37___ speak different dialects can understand each other’s writing. Therefore, communication can go on ___38___ many troubles. People in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan still write traditional Chinese characters, while people on China’s mainland use ___39___ (simplify) Chinese characters, but it does not pose much ___40___ (difficult) in recognizing the characters. Some scholars believe that Chinese characters are one of the important ___41___ (factor) that keep South and North China unbroken for ___42___ very long time. Some scholars even consider Chinese characters ___43___ (be) the Fifth Great Invention of Ancient China, alongside the other Four Great Inventions, which are paper, the compass, gunpowder and movable typography (活版印刷术). Though pronunciation marks are ___44___ (slight) different, Chinese characters ___45___ (adopt) in other languages in ancient time, which indicates China`s cultural influence on these countries since ancient times, especially during the Tang(618—907) and the Song(960—1279) dynasties.

37. who##that
38. without
39. simplified
40. difficulty
41. factors
42. a 43. to be
44. slightly
45. were adopted
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汉字的地位及作用,旨在增加学生对中国汉字的自豪感。
【36题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:从商朝开始,中国人一直在使用一个完整的汉字系统。根据“Since Shang dynasty”可知,此处应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时,表示动作从过去持续到现在,或者动作从过去持续到现在并且还将继续下去;且主语“Chinese people”和use二者之间是主动关系,主语是复数,谓语动词应用复数形式。故填have been using/have used。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:使用单一的书写系统的最大优势之一是说不同方言的人可以理解彼此的书写(内容)。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是people,指人,且关系词在从句中作主语,用 who/that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:因此,交流不会有很大的难度。结合句子结构和句意,此处应用介词without连接,表示“没有”。故填 without。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:香港、澳门和台湾地区的人们仍使用传统的汉字,而中国大陆的人们则使用简体汉字。修饰名词短语“Chinese characters”应用形容词,simplified“简化的”符合题意。故填simplified。
【40题详解】
考查词名词。句意:香港、澳门和台湾地区的人们仍使用传统的汉字,而中国大陆的人们则使用简体汉字,但是(使用简体字的人)在识别这些(传统)汉字的方面并没有太大的困难。作动词pose的宾语应用difficult的名词形式,difficulty“困难”符合题意,此处为抽象概念,不可数。故填difficulty。
【41题详解】
考查名词的单复数。句意:一些学者认为,汉字是使中国南北方在很长一段时间内保持统一的重要因素之一。factor“因素”是可数名词,one of +可数名词复数,意为“......中之一”,所以此处应用factor的复数形式。故填factors。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一些学者认为,汉字是使中国南北方在很长一段时间内保持统一的重要因素之一。固定搭配 for a long time 意为“很长一段时间内”。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有的学者甚至将汉字视为和造纸术、指南针、火药和活字印刷术这四大发明并列的第五大发明。固定搭配 consider…to be 意为“把……视为”,不定式作宾补。故填to be。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管汉字的读音略有不同,但中国汉字在古代也在其他语言中被使用。此处应用副词修饰形容词“different”,副词slightly意为“稍微”。故填slightly。
【45题详解】
考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:尽管汉字的读音略有不同,但中国汉字在古代也在其他语言中被使用。根据“in ancient time”可知,此处应用一般过去时;且主语“Chinese characters”与动词 adopt 之间是被动关系,此处应用被动语态;又因主语为复数,谓语动词也应用复数形式。故填were adopted。

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文章。
On the first day of school, I stared in awe at the huge buildings. This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended.
This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in St. Louis. I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect.
Scared, yet anxious to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs to the front door. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures. My first class was geometry, but where was that?
I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you need help? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost.
After exchanging names. I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right, making polite conversation the whole way. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. Welcome to JFK, and I hope your day goes all right.”
I said thanks and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches. I decided that this guy was popular, so I managed to get a seat right next to him. I said, “Hi, my name is Lisa and I’m new here.” He said, “Johnny.”
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右:

Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me?” With a frown, he looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom. As they were walking out I heard him say, “Did you guys see that new girl trying to get into our group? That outfit was too strange.” They all laughed and some of them turned around and stared at me. My face hot with shame, I stood stock-still, not believing what had just happened.
Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. It was Diane. Like a ray of sunshine, the big smile on her face swept away my gloom. I struggled to hold my feelings back and told her what I had encountered. A gleam of concern in her eyes, she said she was sorry and offered to find my next class. At that moment I realized how wrong I was in wanting to only be friends with popular people. Maybe I shouldn’t decide whether a person is worth being my friend or not by their reputation, but by who they are.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者高中第二年是在圣路易斯的第一年,作者在学校认识了Diane,Diane给作者指路。结果作者因为穿着被班上的同学嘲笑,Diane也对作者表示了关心,作者也感悟到不应该只和受欢迎的人交朋友。

From a young age, I would climb up and down for fun. My first introduction to gymnastics was through my older sister Arielle, who used to be a gymnast. She taught me how to do my first cartwheel(侧手翻). By the end of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid in gymnastics.”
At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path. I was used to the public eye, but the Olympic stage was different. The Olympics teach you to act in a certain way and to be disciplined(守纪律的). They teach you to be a mature young lady, and you grow up fast.
When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics. I thought it was: Training. I had to quit a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’t mind. I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a different coach. I sacrificed my privacy. Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep with. It takes a lot to be an Olympic athlete. You may have a talent, but the people who work harder than you will overtake you.
Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me. When someone tells you that you can’ do it, especially when there are many people, you start to believe it. It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics. Fear held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it. I went to the world championships and got a team gold.
I won three gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and helped Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 World Championships. My mom used to say, “Inspire a generation.” It’s one thing when you say it, but I never thought that I would be a pioneer and that people would draw inspiration from my story.
4. Why did the author’ sister suggest putting her in gymnastics?
A. Because she was talented in gymnastics.
B. Because she needed to decide her future career.
C. Because she was too noisy to stay at home.
D. Because she had fallen in love with gymnastics.
5. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?
A. She left school at an early age.
B. She devoted great efforts to training.
C. She thought talent was necessary.
D. She dreamed of being famous one day.
6. What did the author learn from others’ doubt?
A. Failures were unavoidable.
B. She had to improve her skills.
C. She should be confident in herself.
D. What others thought was not important.
7. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. Her childhood experiences.
B. Her road to success.
C. Her passion for the Olympics.
D. Her performance in gymnastics.

Museums have regained their popularity among young people because of social media, but one person shared on Twitter that people shouldn’t use such ways for their photos. Milo Atienza Parada, an Instagram user, said that people have been going to museums for the sake of taking selfies(自拍)to be posted on their social media. Although there is nothing wrong with it, he still thinks that museums are places of art appreciation(欣赏).
Last month, the National Museum of the Philippines opened its newest building to the public — the National Museum of Natural History. It houses the country’s collections of plants and animals. According to its Facebook post, visitors are not allowed to engage in photography. They are also not allowed to take videos or touch museum objects. However, Parada has noticed that many people have been touching artworks during their visit. Besides, the museum has been turned into a place to take photos.
“For visitors who only wish to enjoy artworks, taking selfies bothers them,” said Parada. “They will feel angry when seeing some people taking selfies with great artworks they want to enjoy.”
But some museums are now accepting the selfie phenomenon(现象). The Artists’ Network shared that the popularity of selfies is an important factor in making people visit museums. The Frick Collection in New York City allows people to take selfies with the artworks. “If they share those images on social media, museums will get a much appreciated’ word of mouth’ result. Search for information about museum selfies on the Internet and you’ll be surprised by all the fun ways people put themselves and objects of art and history together. And that makes other people visit these museums in person,” Heidi Rosenau, the Frick’s communication director said.
8. Why is Parada against taking selfies in museums?
A. It may put pressure on museum management.
B. It affects the popularity of social media sites.
C. It may take people’s focus away from artworks.
D. It damages artworks that should avoid flash photography.
9. What can be learned about the mentioned museum from Paragraph 2?
A. Many visitors are blind to its rules.
B. Many visitors disagree with its rules.
C. It should set up some photo-taking areas.
D. It needs to spend more on protecting artworks.
10. According to Paragraph 4, taking selfies in museums can ________
A. leave some special memories for visitors
B. offer a new chance to express people’s creativity
C. draw people’s attention to the protection of artworks
D. promote the artworks and the museums to the public
11. What is the text mainly about?

On the first day of school, I stared in awe at the huge buildings. This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended.
This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in St. Louis. I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect.
Scared, yet anxious to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs to the front door. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures. My first class was geometry, but where was that?
I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you need help? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost.
After exchanging names. I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right, making polite conversation the whole way. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. Welcome to JFK, and I hope your day goes all right.”
I said thanks and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches. I decided that this guy was popular, so I managed to get a seat right next to him. I said, “Hi, my name is Lisa and I’m new here.” He said, “Johnny.”
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置答题。
At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me?”

Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder.
