She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said: “I’ve waited a long time for it.” A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.” Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). At her present age, a grand plie-lowering to the floor with bent knees-seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. ” I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said. Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton. 4. How did Leverton feel after taking her dance lesson? A. Tired. B. Confused. C. Shocked. D. Thrilled. 5. Why didn’t Leverton learn to dance she was young? A. Her family was badly off. B. She wasn’t able to leap high. C. Her family laughed at her dream. D. She had to focus on classes. 6. What did dancing bring to Leverton? A. A team award. B. Money and fame. C. Friendship and joy. D. A medical treatment. 7. What can we learn from Leverton’s story? A. Hard work pays off. B. Never too old to pursue dreams. C. Interest is the key to success. D. Money isn’t everything. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Tina Leverton的62岁女士，在移民英国的第一代印度人父母无法承担芭蕾舞课的费用下长大。她一直梦想成为一名芭蕾舞者，直到晚年才实现了这个梦想。对她来说，芭蕾舞不仅是艺术，更是一种治疗，给她带来了无尽的快乐。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said: “I’ve waited a long time for it.”(她说，把脚伸进柔软的皮革里是一种非常激动的感觉。她说：“我已经等了很久了。”)”以及第二段““As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.” (当我进门时，我发现我脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。从我开始的那一刻起，我就想回家。”)”可知，Leverton对于跳舞是充满热情的，能够跳舞是一种非常激动的感觉，由此推断出她在上完舞蹈课后感到非常激动。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. (不幸的是，她的父母负担不起芭蕾舞课程的费用，因为他们是第一代印度移民，在英国努力谋生。)”可知，Leverton小时候没有学跳舞是因为她的家庭很穷。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling.( 跳舞也给她带来了新的朋友。她遇到了一群年纪更大、更独立的女性，并与她们一起获得了皇家舞蹈学院的团队奖。当然，还有那种快乐的感觉。)”可知，跳舞给Leverton带来了友谊和快乐。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton.（“芭蕾舞是我永远需要治疗，”Leverton说。）以及通读全文，可知，文章讲述了一位名叫Tina Leverton的62岁女士，在移民英国的第一代印度人父母无法承担芭蕾舞课的费用下长大。她一直梦想成为一名芭蕾舞者，直到晚年才实现了这个梦想。对她来说，芭蕾舞不仅是艺术，更是一种治疗，给她带来了无尽的快乐。因此，从Leverton的故事中学到“追求梦想永远不嫌晚”。B选项“Never too old to pursue dreams.( 追求梦想永远不嫌老。)”符合题意。故选B。 C Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them. It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria. Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore. 8. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning? A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out. C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists. 9. What is special about CanCandy? A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners. C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists’ recipe. 10. What does Moore expect from her business? A. To earn more money. B. To help others find smiles. C. To make herself stand out. D. To beat other candy companies. 11. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Alice Moore，一个年轻有为的创业者的故事，故事告诉我们：积极的思考和行动会带来成功。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?”及下文她想方设法最终制作出了叫CanCandy的糖果可知，她对父亲的警告的反应是：她试图找到一条出路，解决问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.可知，这种糖只使用天然甜味剂，可以减少口腔细菌，因此它对牙齿有利。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.可知，Moore想用她独特的才能帮助其他人找到自己的笑容。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Moor的创业故事，她之所以能成功，源于面对问题和困难时，她乐观地看待问题，积极地想方设法去解决问题。因此，通过她的故事让我们懂得积极的思考和行动会带来成功。故选C。 D We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life. Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the, physical, mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management, assertiveness (坚定自信), sociability and empathy. Making friends has made me feel secure. However, I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values. In addition, having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported. It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management. My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks. Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people. The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care. Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships. My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships. It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication. It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships. It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion (自行决定权) of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy. She can easily figure this out by the flow of the conversation, the way each feels understood, accepted and supported, and by how I feel, happy, bored or energized in the relationship. It also helps to know whether all benefit from each other’s positive aspects. Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them. Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard day with people who share similar ideas. Actually we all need someone who would not just hear us, but listen to us, and we need to cultivate the art of listening and understanding people. 12. Which of the following helps build mutually supportive social relationships? A. Being passive. B. Being assertive. C. Being aggressive. D. Being relaxed. 13. A person most needs supportive social relationships when he/she is________. A. lonely B. bored C. stressed D. energetic 14. From the passage, who can positively get supportive social relationship? A. Manisha. B. Mohana. C. Lalitha. D. Somya. 15. What is mainly discussed in the passage? A. How should we handle our stress in life? B. What is to be done for applicable relationships? C. How can we pick up friends supporting us? D. How people build mutually supportive social relationship? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。如何构建相互支持的社会关系？本文就此提供一些技巧：时间管理、坚定自信、社会化和共鸣。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the, physical, mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management, assertiveness (坚定自信), sociability and empathy.(健康和相互支持的人际关系有助于减轻压力，通过培养时间管理、自信、社交能力和同情心等技能，促进身心和情感健康。)”和第四段中“Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships.(自信同样适用于人际关系。)”可知，自信有助于培养相互支持的社会关系，故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them. Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard day with people who share similar ideas.(处理生活中的压力就是培养相互支持的人际关系，并努力改善这种关系。Manisha总是说，当她在一天的辛苦工作之后和有相同想法的人分享她的感受时，她感觉很好。)”可知，此处以Manisha的例子说明，和别人分享自己的压力，有助于培养相互支持的人际关系，由此可推知，当一个人有压力时，他/她最需要相互支持的社会关系，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them.

His favorite magazine had a lot of strange but important content. This month it was insects in danger. The number of certain bugs, including bees, was falling sharply all over the world. “It’s terrible!” Dandelion replied, after reading the article. They were sitting on the outdoor patio (露台) of Cool Yule’s Ice Cream Shop. “Maybe we could make a bee roof garden, too — like in this article,” Doodlebug suggested. Yule recommended making it on the patio, adding a pollinator (传粉昆虫) garden up there would attract bees — and more customers. “Brilliant!” Everyone else responded in a chorus. Now the problem was how to get the funds. Dandelion proposed raising money by setting up a booth near the shop’s entrance to alert people and ask them to donate. The plan was a go! The next day their friends Bog, Tomiko and Izzy met Doodlebug and Dandelion inside Yule’s. Everyone was excited. They made handouts explaining how the garden would attract pollinators, do something to help prevent flooding, and improve the air. “We should have a bee mascot (吉祥物),” Izzy suggested. Doodlebug recalled the old bee costume that his Mom wore for Halloween once. Over the enthusiastic uproar, Dandelion shouted, “And you’ll be the bee, Doodlebug!” “WILL NOT!” Doodlebug shot back. “Too big. We need to stuff some grownup into that costume.” But who, then? For ten mad minutes the kids debated loudly. “Silence, you little noisy kids!” someone suddenly roared. “I’m trying to read about bees in danger!” The whole crew turned in shock. There sat Doodlebug’s horrible teacher, Mrs. Noodleknocker. Doodlebug had discovered long ago that she was a World of the Weird fan, but that didn’t make her any nicer. “Bees and butterflies need help!” Mrs. Noodleknocker cried. “But a person can’t even worry about them peacefully!” 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。 Paragraph 1: Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The bee campaign was a massive success! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Students’ Union 【答案】 Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind. “THE BEE!” he exclaimed and pointed at Mrs. Noodleknocker, only to be greeted with a glare. Dandelion detailed their plan and asked her to be the bee mascot. After digesting the information, Mrs. Noodleknockerher had her irritable expression softened a bit. “Just forget it,” she said, turning back to her magazine. “Only real bees matter.” Tomiko responded boldly that this whole plan was indeed for real bees. “Please, lady?” Bog coaxed, adding her favor might double the fund. Mrs. Noodleknocker put down the magazine, a tiny smile glinting across her usually mean mouth. It had been a long time since anyone called her a lady. Finally, she snorted and gave in. The bee campaign was a massive success! On the day of fundraising, Mrs. Noodleknocker rocked the bee costume in all her pollinator glory. Instead of threatening passers-by with a sting, the group decided a friendly bee was the right way to go. The following hours witnessed the bee buzzing around the booth, arms and legs punching and kicking. Whenever her strange insect eyes landed on someone, the victim quickly forked over cash — even without being stung. So hilarious and inspiring! A few weeks later Cool Yule’s bee garden bloomed spectacularly, attracting customers and good insects from all around. And Mrs. Noodleknocker was almost a nice person from then on. It proved that being a bee could be good for anyone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Doodlebug和妹妹Dandelion在阅读了关于蜜蜂数量急剧下降的杂志后，决定在冰淇淋店打造一个蜜蜂屋顶花园，以吸引蜜蜂以及顾客，Dandelion提议在商店入口附近设立一个摊位来筹集资金，朋友Izzy建议增加一个蜜蜂吉祥物，Doodlebug想起妈妈在万圣节穿的旧蜜蜂服装，但是它太大了，正当孩子们争辩谁来穿这件蜜蜂服装时，可怕的老师Noodleknocker太太让他们安静一点，她也在阅读这本关于蜜蜂的杂志。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当一个绝妙的主意出现在脑海里时，Doodlebug睁大了眼睛。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们请求Noodleknocker太太扮演蜜蜂吉祥物。 ②由第二段首句内容“蜜蜂运动取得了巨大的成功。”可知，第二段可描写Noodleknocker太太在筹款当天穿上蜜蜂服装的表现，后来蜜蜂花园也吸引可很多顾客和昆虫。 2.续写线索：说明计划——拒绝——请求——答应——活动当天的表现——花朵吸引顾客和昆虫——Noodleknocker太太变成好人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①呼喊：exclaim/yell ②详细说明：detail/explain…in detail ③吸引：attract/appeal to 情绪类 ①愤怒：irritable/angry ②鼓舞人心：inspiring/encouraging 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tomiko responded boldly that this whole plan was indeed for real bees.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Mrs. Noodleknocker put down the magazine, a tiny smile glinting across her usually mean mouth.（独立主格结构） [高分句型3] Whenever her strange insect eyes landed on someone, the victim quickly forked over cash — even without being stung.（whenever引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年春季学期甘肃省兰州第一中学高三开学诊断考试 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷总分：150分 第一部分 听力(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.

If yes, don't care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you'll make it! Position: Volunteer Social Care Assistant (No Pay with Free Meals) Place: Manchester Hours: Part Time We are now looking for volunteers to support people with learning disabilities to live active lives! Only 4 days left. Don't miss the chance of lending your warm hands to help others! Role: You will provide people with learning disabilities with all aspects of their daily lives. You will help them to develop new skills. You will help them to protect their rights and their safety. But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued. Skills and Experience Required: You will have the right values and great listening skills. You will be honest and patient. You will have the ability to drive a car and to communicate in fluent written and spoken English since you'll have to help those people with different learning disabilities. Previous care­related experience will be the biggest advantage for you. 1. The volunteers' primary responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities ________. A. to get some financial support B. to properly protect themselves C. to learn some new living skills D. to realize their own importance 2. Which of the following can first be chosen as a volunteer? A. The one who can drive a car. B The one who has done similar work before. C. The one who has patience to listen to others. D. The one who can use English to communicate. 3. The text is meant to ________. A. leave a note B. send an invitation C. present a document D. carry an advertisement B Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes. She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said: “I’ve waited a long time for it.” A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.” Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). At her present age, a grand plie-lowering to the floor with bent knees-seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. ” I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said. Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton. 4. How did Leverton feel after taking her dance lesson? A. Tired. B. Confused. C. Shocked. D. Thrilled. 5. Why didn’t Leverton learn to dance she was young? A. Her family was badly off. B. She wasn’t able to leap high. C. Her family laughed at her dream. D. She had to focus on classes. 6. What did dancing bring to Leverton? A. A team award. B. Money and fame. C. Friendship and joy. D. A medical treatment. 7. What can we learn from Leverton’s story? A. Hard work pays off. B. Never too old to pursue dreams. C. Interest is the key to success. D. Money isn’t everything. C Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them. It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dad’s permission she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria. Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Meanwhile with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore. 8 How did Moore react to her dad’s warning? A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out. C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists. 9. What is special about CanCandy? A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners. C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists’ recipe. 10. What does Moore expect from her business? A. To earn more money. B. To help others find smiles. C. To make herself stand out. D. To beat other candy companies. 11. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied D We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life. Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the, physical, mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management, assertiveness (坚定自信), sociability and empathy. Making friends has made me feel secure. However, I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values. In addition, having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported. It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management. My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks. Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people. The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care. Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships. My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships. It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication. It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships. It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion (自行决定权) of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy.

His favorite magazine had a lot of strange but important content. This month it was insects in danger. The number of certain bugs, including bees, was falling sharply all over the world. “It’s terrible!” Dandelion replied, after reading the article. They were sitting on the outdoor patio (露台) of Cool Yule’s Ice Cream Shop. “Maybe we could make a bee roof garden, too — like in this article,” Doodlebug suggested. Yule recommended making it on the patio, adding a pollinator (传粉昆虫) garden up there would attract bees — and more customers. “Brilliant!” Everyone else responded in a chorus. Now the problem was how to get the funds. Dandelion proposed raising money by setting up a booth near the shop’s entrance to alert people and ask them to donate. The plan was a go! The next day their friends Bog, Tomiko and Izzy met Doodlebug and Dandelion inside Yule’s. Everyone was excited. They made handouts explaining how the garden would attract pollinators, do something to help prevent flooding, and improve the air. “We should have a bee mascot (吉祥物),” Izzy suggested. Doodlebug recalled the old bee costume that his Mom wore for Halloween once. Over the enthusiastic uproar, Dandelion shouted, “And you’ll be the bee, Doodlebug!” “WILL NOT!” Doodlebug shot back. “Too big. We need to stuff some grownup into that costume.” But who, then? For ten mad minutes the kids debated loudly. “Silence, you little noisy kids!” someone suddenly roared. “I’m trying to read about bees in danger!” The whole crew turned in shock. There sat Doodlebug’s horrible teacher, Mrs. Noodleknocker. Doodlebug had discovered long ago that she was a World of the Weird fan, but that didn’t make her any nicer. “Bees and butterflies need help!” Mrs. Noodleknocker cried. “But a person can’t even worry about them peacefully!” 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。 Paragraph 1: Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The bee campaign was a massive success! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Students’ Union 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
