B Born on July 1st, 1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid. He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis(合成) of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes, but Roberto’s strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible. In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School. The company funded Dr. Crea’s ongoing research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin(胰岛素) genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes(糖尿病) all over the world. Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine(吗啡), and the best part of this is that it has zero side-effects. Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life. He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science. 4. What may contribute to Roberto’s invention of the human insulin genes? A. His good luck in his life. B. His curiosity about his study. C. His creative imagination. D. His knowledge of chemistry. 5. What do the underlined words “this discovery” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A special way of producing human protein. B. A reliable method for curing people of diabetes. C. A new procedure for improving gene synthesis. D. A simple technique of separating human genes. 6. What do we know about Roberto in Paragraph 3? A. He won a Nobel Prize. B He stuck to his scientific research. C. He discovered morphine with his team. D. He retired after making the great discovery. 7. Which of the following best describes Roberto? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Courageous and calm. C. Ambitious and patient. D. Committed and talented. C In a street largely unchanged since it was built in the 1800s, Hobart’s Battery Point is probably the last place you would expect to find a farm. In one corner of Peter Handy’s backyard is a controlled environment unit that houses vertical pastures (垂直牧场), the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere (半球). Mr. Handy is changing the definition of what it means to be a farmer. “I know it’s really funny, because when people say to me, ‘Where’s your farm?’, I’ll say ‘it’s in Battery Point’ and they’re like, ‘No, there’s no farms in Battery Point’,” he said “People think the Martians have landed because we’ve got this massive, big pink light that comes out of it from the bottom but other than that, they’d have no idea.” Not just a backyard project, Mr. Handy is running a business. “It’s here because I need to be as close to my customers, the chefs and restaurants of Hobart,” he said. “I aim to use the least amount of food miles as possible and make this a super-efficient business.” Using LED lights and hydroponic nutrients the farm grows leafy greens, root vegetables and flowering plants. “I don’t have to worry about floods, wind, wild animals, electric fences, turning the soil over,” Mr .Handy said. Using 95 percent less water than traditional farming, the farm ticks the box environmentally. “I mean, this is definitely not the answer to food sustainability in the world. But it’s definitely a part of it.” Science writer Julian Cribb believes a world food crisis is coming, due to a combination of loss of water, loss of topsoil, climate change and overuse of poisons. “We’re going to need to change the nature of the way we produce food and change the human diet at the same time,” he said, “and new urban farming methods would see most of the world’s great cities feeding themselves.” Mr. Cribb said Australia was still quite a way off from adopting urban farming. But he believes that it poses a rather unique opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their expertise to cities, teaching people to grow food in urban environments. 8. What might people think of Mr. Handy’s farm? A. Scared. B. Impressed. C. Disappointed. D. Confused. 9. What does Mr. Handy say about his farm? A It is not affected by weather. B. It mainly plants and sells flowers. C. It serves customers from near and far. D. It is the solution to food sustainability. 10. What’s the purpose of Mr. Gribb’s words in paragraph 5? A. To praise his contribution to science. B To explain how urban farming works. C. To stress the necessity of urban farming. D. To present the seriousness of the food crisis. 11. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Cities are struggling to get food. B. Technology is changing people’s life. C. Peter Handy is a successful businessman. D. Food production is being moved into cities. D Hundreds of native North American plants, often dismissed as weeds, deserve a lot more respect, according to a new study. These plants, distant cousins of foods like sunflowers and lettuce (莴苣), actually represent a botanical treasure now facing increased threats from climate change and habitat loss. The crops that the human race now depends on, including grains like wheat and tree fruit like peaches, originally were selected or bred (培育) from plants that grew wild hundreds or thousands of years ago. In the U.S., there are wild ancestors of blueberries, sweet potatoes, onions, potatoes, and many other food crops. “Some of them are quite common,” says Colin Khoury, a research scientist at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. “Wild lettuce plants grow along sidewalks, or in backyards, but go unrecognized.” Other crop relatives are rare and threatened. One of Khoury’s favorites is the paradoxical sun flower.” It grows just in wetlands of the deserts of New Mexico and Texas. Little salty areas where there’s a little bit of water beneath the soil,” he says. So plant growers crossbred it with commercial sunflowers and created new varieties that can grow in places where the soil contains more salt. Other wild relatives may be hiding similarly remarkable gifts, Khoury says, such as genes that could help their domesticated relatives survive diseases, or deal with pests. Khoury and some of his colleagues just finished a survey of about 600 wild crop relatives that grow in North America, and they found that most of these plants are threatened by things like fires, farming and development. The scientists argue that they deserve more protection. For one thing, “gene banks” should collect and preserve them. In addition, these plants need more protection in their natural habitat. According to Khoury, that doesn’t necessarily mean setting aside land for them. In many cases, the plants already are growing on public land that’s managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) or the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). “It’s more about just being aware that these plants actually exist,” he says. 12. What did the new study mainly focus on? A. Endangered plant species. B. Wild relatives of food crops. C. The impacts of climate change. D. The threats from plant habitat loss. 13. What do we know about the paradoxical sunflower? A. It needs much water to grow well. B. It grows along sidewalks or in backyards. C. It seems capable of surviving various diseases. D. It helps commercial sunflowers adapt to salty soil. 14. How might the scientists feel about their survey results? A. Relieved. B. Concerned. C. Annoyed. D. Critical. 15. What might Khoury suggest the BLM do? A. Join hands with the USFS. B. Set aside land for wild plants. C. Collect genes of threatened crop species. D. Learn about plants on its managed land. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understand your pet's body language Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet.___16___Understanding your pet's body language will help you to be a better communicator, as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands. ● ___17___If your dog isn't looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst.

Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her classmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was laughed at by her classmates, who were always chanting (唱起……歌) “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面).” Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Hidden in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级英语学科寒假自主学习检测 第一部分 听力 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，选出最佳选项。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Roberto Crea博士在发明合成人胰岛素方面的突出贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章第一段“but Roberto’s strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible.(Roberto强大的化学背景使一个历史发明成为可能)”可知，发明人类胰岛素的原因是Roberto拥有相关化学知识。故选D。 【5题详解】 短语猜测题。根据文章第二段画线词上文“After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes(在日夜工作之后，这位才华横溢的人终于发明了一种新的方法，改进了基因的化学合成)”可推知，画线部分“这一发现”是指上文提到的一种改进基因合成的新方法。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第三段“His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology.(在发现合成胰岛素后，他的努力没有停止；事实上，他非常有动力，并试图在生物技术领域做出更多的贡献)”可推知，Roberto坚持他的科学研究。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章首句“Born on July 1st, 1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid.(Roberto Crea在1948年7月1日出生在意大利小城Palmi，是个天才)”可知，Roberto Crea是有天赋的。再通读全文以及文章最后一段“Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life.(Roberto Crea博士在他65年的生命中取得了一长串值得信赖的发现和研究成果)”可推知，Roberto Crea全心全意地投身在自己的研究领域之中。故选D。 C In a street largely unchanged since it was built in the 1800s, Hobart’s Battery Point is probably the last place you would expect to find a farm. In one corner of Peter Handy’s backyard is a controlled environment unit that houses vertical pastures (垂直牧场), the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere (半球). Mr. Handy is changing the definition of what it means to be a farmer. “I know it’s really funny, because when people say to me, ‘Where’s your farm?’, I’ll say ‘it’s in Battery Point’ and they’re like, ‘No, there’s no farms in Battery Point’,” he said “People think the Martians have landed because we’ve got this massive, big pink light that comes out of it from the bottom but other than that, they’d have no idea.” Not just a backyard project, Mr. Handy is running a business. “It’s here because I need to be as close to my customers, the chefs and restaurants of Hobart,” he said. “I aim to use the least amount of food miles as possible and make this a super-efficient business.” Using LED lights and hydroponic nutrients, the farm grows leafy greens, root vegetables and flowering plants. “I don’t have to worry about floods, wind, wild animals, electric fences, turning the soil over,” Mr .Handy said. Using 95 percent less water than traditional farming, the farm ticks the box environmentally. “I mean, this is definitely not the answer to food sustainability in the world. But it’s definitely a part of it.” Science writer Julian Cribb believes a world food crisis is coming, due to a combination of loss of water, loss of topsoil, climate change and overuse of poisons. “We’re going to need to change the nature of the way we produce food and change the human diet at the same time,” he said, “and new urban farming methods would see most of the world’s great cities feeding themselves.” Mr. Cribb said Australia was still quite a way off from adopting urban farming. But he believes that it poses a rather unique opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their expertise to cities, teaching people to grow food in urban environments. 8. What might people think of Mr. Handy’s farm? A. Scared. B. Impressed. C. Disappointed. D. Confused. 9. What does Mr. Handy say about his farm? A. It is not affected by weather. B It mainly plants and sells flowers. C. It serves customers from near and far. D. It is the solution to food sustainability. 10. What’s the purpose of Mr. Gribb’s words in paragraph 5? A. To praise his contribution to science. B. To explain how urban farming works. C. To stress the necessity of urban farming. D. To present the seriousness of the food crisis. 11. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Cities are struggling to get food. B. Technology is changing people’s life. C. Peter Handy is a successful businessman. D. Food production is being moved into cities. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是Peter Handy在城市里建了个农场，并介绍了他的农场的特点和在城市里种植的必要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“No, there’s no farms in Battery Point(不，Battery Point没有农场)”和“People think the Martians have landed because we’ve got this massive, big pink light that comes out of it from the bottom but other than that, they’d have no idea.(人们认为火星人已经着陆了，因为我们从底部发出了巨大的粉色光，但除此之外，他们什么都不知道。)”可知，人们对Mr. Handy的农场感到困惑，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“I don’t have to worry about floods, wind, wild animals, electric fences, turning the soil over(我不用担心洪水，风，野生动物，电栅栏，翻土)”可知，Mr. Handy说自己的农场不会受到天气的影响，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“We’re going to need to change the nature of the way we produce food and change the human diet at the same time(我们需要改变我们生产食物的方式，同时改变人类的饮食习惯)”和“and new urban farming methods would see most of the world’s great cities feeding themselves(而新的城市农业方法将使世界上大多数大城市都能自给自足)”可知，第五段Mr. Gribb的话的目的是强调城市农业的必要性。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“In a street largely unchanged since it was built in the 1800s, Hobart’s Battery Point is probably the last place you would expect to find a farm.(Hobart的Battery Point是一条自19世纪建成以来基本没有改变过的街道，你可能最想不到会在这里发现农场。)”和最后一段的“But he believes that it poses a rather unique opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their expertise to cities, teaching people to grow food in urban environments.(但他认为，这为澳大利亚农民提供了一个相当独特的机会，可以向城市出售他们的专业知识，教人们在城市环境中种植粮食。)”可知，本文主要讲的是Peter Handy在城市里建了个农场，并介绍了他的农场的特点和在城市里种植的必要性，即“Food production is being moved into cities (粮食生产正在转移到城市)”。故选D。 D Hundreds of native North American plants, often dismissed as weeds, deserve a lot more respect, according to a new study. These plants, distant cousins of foods like sunflowers and lettuce (莴苣), actually represent a botanical treasure now facing increased threats from climate change and habitat loss. The crops that the human race now depends on, including grains like wheat and tree fruit like peaches, originally were selected or bred (培育) from plants that grew wild hundreds or thousands of years ago. In the U.S., there are wild ancestors of blueberries, sweet potatoes, onions, potatoes, and many other food crops. “Some of them are quite common,” says Colin Khoury, a research scientist at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. “Wild lettuce plants grow along sidewalks, or in backyards, but go unrecognized.” Other crop relatives are rare and threatened. One of Khoury’s favorites is the paradoxical sun flower.” It grows just in wetlands of the deserts of New Mexico and Texas. Little salty areas where there’s a little bit of water beneath the soil,” he says. So plant growers crossbred it with commercial sunflowers and created new varieties that can grow in places where the soil contains more salt. Other wild relatives may be hiding similarly remarkable gifts, Khoury says, such as genes that could help their domesticated relatives survive diseases, or deal with pests. Khoury and some of his colleagues just finished a survey of about 600 wild crop relatives that grow in North America, and they found that most of these plants are threatened by things like fires, farming and development. The scientists argue that they deserve more protection. For one thing, “gene banks” should collect and preserve them. In addition, these plants need more protection in their natural habitat. According to Khoury, that doesn’t necessarily mean setting aside land for them. In many cases, the plants already are growing on public land that’s managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) or the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). “It’s more about just being aware that these plants actually exist,” he says. 12. What did the new study mainly focus on? A. Endangered plant species. B. Wild relatives of food crops. C. The impacts of climate change. D. The threats from plant habitat loss. 13. What do we know about the paradoxical sunflower? A. It needs much water to grow well. B. It grows along sidewalks or in backyards. C. It seems capable of surviving various diseases. D. It helps commercial sunflowers adapt to salty soil. 14. How might the scientists feel about their survey results? A. Relieved. B. Concerned. C. Annoyed. D. Critical. 15. What might Khoury suggest the BLM do? A. Join hands with the USFS. B. Set aside land for wild plants. C. Collect genes of threatened crop species. D. Learn about plants on its managed land. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。我们现在所食用的多种植物都是从远古时期就存在的野生植物嫁接或育种而来。然而，这些植物的“野生远亲”现在却被人们弃之如草芥，没有得到应有的保护和尊重。研究人员认为，这些野生植物在帮助我们现存的植物应对气候变化、病虫害及栖息地丧失方面可以发挥巨大的作用，我们应该对其加大保护力度。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Hundreds of native North American plants, often dismissed as weeds, deserve a lot more respect, according to a new study. These plants, distant cousins of foods like sunflowers and lettuce , actually represent a botanical treasure now facing increased threats from climate change and habitat loss.(根据一项新的研究，数百种北美本土植物，通常被认为是杂草，应该得到更多的尊重。这些植物是向日葵和生菜等食物的远亲，实际上是一种面临气候变化和栖息地丧失日益严重威胁的植物瑰宝。)”可知，这项新研究主要关注的是粮食作物的野生亲缘。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So plant growers crossbred it with commercial sunflowers and created new varieties that can grow in places where the soil contains more salt.(因此，植物种植者将它与商业向日葵杂交，创造出可以在土壤含盐更多的地方生长的新品种。)”可知，“the paradoxical sunflower”与商用向日葵杂交产生的向日葵可适应含盐高的土壤。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Khoury and some of his colleagues just finished a survey of about 600 wild crop relatives that grow in North America, and they found that most of these plants are threatened by things like fires, farming and development.(库里和他的一些同事刚刚完成了一项对大约600种生长在北美的野生作物亲属的调查，他们发现这些植物中的大多数都受到火灾、农业和开发等因素的威胁。)”可知，科学家们对约600种野生植物进行了调研后发现，其中绝大多数的生存状况不容乐观，受到了诸如火灾、农耕及社会发展的威胁。由此可推知，科学家们对其发现会感到担忧。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In many cases, the plants already are growing on public land that’s managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) or the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).(在许多情况下，这些植物已经生长在由美国林务局(USFS)或土地管理局(BLM)管理的公共土地上。)”和“It’s more about just being aware that these plants actually exist(更重要的是要意识到这些植物确实存在)”可推知，Khoury可能会建议美国内政部土地管理局去了解其管辖范围内的植物，从而保护这些野生植物。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understand your pet's body language Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet.___16___Understanding your pet's body language will help you to be a better communicator, as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands. ● ___17___If your dog isn't looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst.

Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her classmate Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was laughed at by her classmates, who were always chanting (唱起……歌) “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面).” Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Hidden in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. She ducked her head with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s high time to do something for a change.” Catherine thought to herself. Having made up her mind, she urged the rest cool kids to make peace with Landy. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?” But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. “Landy, sorry about the spaghetti thing. I should have realized it earlier. Can you forgive us?” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also learned that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was. 【解析】 【导语】本文以班里同学关系为线索展开，讲述了班里最酷的孩子Catherine受到同学众星捧月般的欢迎。而她的同桌Landy却受到冷落，因为她个头最高，同学们给她起了侮辱性的外号“意大利面条”。Catherine在祖父的农场发现一只被其它的鸡欺负的可怜的小鸡，深感同情，从而联想到Landy，意识到大家不应该欺负她，Catherine回到学校后，号召大家团结Landy的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner.(然后Catherine发现Landy独自坐在角落里。)”可知，第一段描写Catherine发现Landy被冷落的样子而产生的联想，Catherine准备道歉，引起其他同学的惊讶或不满。 ②由第二段首句内容“But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said.
