Kids can take nature or animal drawing classes and upload their art on Sparketh.(6-18岁的孩子可以在Sparketh上享受30天内多达1000节免费的在线艺术课程。孩子们可以参加自然或动物绘画课程，并在Sparketh上上传他们的作品)”可知，Sparketh的特别之处在于它允许孩子们上传他们的作品。故选D。 B Kevin Beard is my class instructor. I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak, ” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 24. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? A. He was worried about his job. B. He had reached one of his goals. C. He was moved by a touching movie. D. He had experienced something terrible. 25. What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Told the truth B. Passed a test C. Started a new job D. Achieved a clean record 26. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? A. By doing things that interest him. B. By writing himself encouraging words. C. By reporting his test results to his tutor. D. By reminding himself of his improvement. 27. What can we learn from Kevin’s story? A. Easy come, easy go. B. Grasp all, lose all. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. The early bird catches the worm. 【答案】24 B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了从小患有阅读障碍的凯文坚持不懈，克服重重困难，终于在52岁时获得普通同等学历文凭GED的励志故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.”（我意识到他的眼泪不是因为悲伤，而是因为幸福。就在几天前，他52岁时获得了普通同等学历文凭GED）可知，凯文在教室里哭泣是因为他实现了自己的一个目标，故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED.”（令人惊讶的是，当他向他们came clean自己的教育背景时，他们说只要他拿到普通教育程度证书就会雇用他。）可知，治安部门答应了只要他拿到普通教育程度证书就会雇用他，可见他向治安部门说明了关于自己接受教育的实际情况。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results.In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress.”（事实上，在凯文进行测试的过程中，他对每个结果都做了一些有趣的事情。他把它们贴在卧室的墙上，以便看到自己的进步）可知，凯文是通过提醒自己已经取得的进步来鼓励自己坚持下去，最终获得GED的，故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了从小患有阅读障碍的凯文坚持不懈，克服重重困难，终于在52岁时获得普通同等学历文凭GED的励志故事，从他的经历中我们可以学到“有志者事竟成”，故选C项。 C Many strawberry farmers prefer to remove natural habitat around their farms to keep wild birds, and any bacteria they carry, away from their fields and crops. However a new study published in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks. The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California’s Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat. For the study scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal (排泄物) samples from 55 bird species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring most benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, were ranked beneficial to farmland. But the results were more than creating a list of “good” and “bad” birds. The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others. The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karp’s lab at University of California, Davis, all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry damage on farms with more habitat nearby. 28. What is the finding of the new study in 2022? A. Wild birds in farms decrease food-safety risks. B. Natural habitat near farms reduces crop damage C. Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms. D. Farms neighboring natural habitat benefit most from birds. 29. Which of the following was a research step in the study? A.

They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria.（在这项研究中，科学家们对1000份粪便进行了分析来自55种鸟类的样本，结合300多个鸟类调查的数据。他们利用这些信息来确定每只鸟在吃什么——无论是害虫、益虫还是农作物，以及哪些鸟携带细菌。）”可知，确定野生鸟类吃什么是这项研究的一个步骤。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四自然段“The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed.

And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others.(研究发现，大多数鸟类物种给农场带来了成本和收益，这取决于周围土地的管理方式。自然栖息地的存在是区分农场的唯一最重要因素，在那里，野生鸟类带来的益处大于危害。与其他农场相比，周围有鸟类自然栖息地的农场受到的破坏更少，细菌问题更少。)”可知，周围土地的管理决定了鸟类对农场的影响。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“…all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds …（所有研究都集中在维护农田周围野生动物自然栖息地的影响和重要性。2020年的一项相关研究还发现，拥有自然栖息地的农场吸引了更多的食虫鸟和更少的吃草莓的鸟……）”可知，最后一段提到2020年的一项相关研究是为了支持研究结果。故选C。 D Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert.The city may be known to the outside world for its partying.But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass.The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on.The grass is only there to look nice. Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass.It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks. It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive.Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus.By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%. In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes.It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out.But fewer people are now using the program.Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019.And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall.The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water.The river could lose more water as climate change affects it. Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced.But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them.Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona.“There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民).They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said.“For some people, it’s a pool.For some people, it’s grass.” 32. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass? A. To protect the local people. B. To beautify the city. C. To reduce water usage. D. To reduce waste. 33. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003? A. Allowing planting grass before new houses. B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass. C. Praising those who signed on the program. D. Awarding those who reduced water usage. 34. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph? A. Many residents won’t follow the ban. B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally. C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter. D. Water officials should take many factors into consideration. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A.

A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。拉斯维加斯是建立在沙漠中的城市，水非常珍贵。然而城市的草消耗了大量的水。为节约用水，该市要求立法机构通过一项法律：禁止使用没有用途的草。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive.Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus.By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.(据估计，在拉斯维加斯，无用的草占所有草的40%，它需要大量的水来生存。草需要比干燥气候植物如仙人掌多四倍的水。通过把草坪清理掉，这座城市每年的用水量可以减少15%。)”可知，拉斯维加斯城试图通过立法清理掉没有用的草，主要目的是节约用水。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes.It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out.But fewer people are now using the program.(2003年，南内华达州水务局禁止开发商在新房前种植草坪。每拆一平方米草坪它还向房主提供30美元的优惠。但是现在越来越少的人使用这个方案。)”可知，2003年在拉斯维加斯实施了鼓励居民把草拔掉的方案。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona.‘There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents.They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,’ Campbell said.‘For some people, it’s a pool.For some people, it’s grass.’ (Cynthia Campbell是亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市的水资源顾问。他说：“城市限制对一些居民来说可能过于苛刻。他们会说，这对他们来说是无法挽回的。对一些人来说，它是一个游泳池。对一些人来说，它是草。 ”)”可推知，Campbell在最后一段话中暗示了对改革的反应因人而异。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature to ban useless grass.It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.(现在，该市要求内华达州立法机关禁止使用无用的草。它正试图成为美国第一个禁止这种草坪的地方，这种草坪经常出现在街道之间、住宅开发项目和办公园区中)”结合本文主要讲的是拉斯维加斯城准备通过一项法律，在城市里禁止使用没有用途的草，其目的是节约用水，可知，A项“拉斯维加斯计划禁止使用无用的草”最适合作本文的标题。故选A。 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。 Social media is a double-edged sword.

He had been one almost all his life, loving the company of the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel younger and more energetic. His record was clean, without one accident during his tenure (任期), which made him a trustworthy driver. However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was concerned that he was too old to be a school bus driver and that it was time for him to retire. “You don’t have a choice here, Peter,” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children who take your bus every day. We need a replacement at this stage.” “But I have a perfect record,” argued Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I enjoy staying with children. I want to keep my joy.” “Think about those kids, Peter,” Mr. Clark said. “I didn’t want to bring this up, but didn’t you mention before that you’ve been having some health problems lately? Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those kids?” “There is no problem with my body now. I’m still capable of handling driving,” Peter became a bit anxious and tried to explain further. But Mr. Clark’s attitude was firm. He shook his head, emphasizing that he couldn’t afford to take any risks, as the children’s safety was the top priority. Looking at Mr. Clark’s tough attitude, Peter thought it over and very unwillingly gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later. His retirement day approached pretty soon. On his last day of diving the school bus, Peter was filled with a heavy heart. As he made his usual rounds, picking up the children, he noticed that he was a bit more tired than usual.

His hands trembled on the steering wheel, and for a moment he lost control. The children in the bus started to scream in feat In that split second, visions of the children’s bright smiles during every ride flashed before his eyes. “I mustn’t let anything happen to them. I mustn’t....,” Peter endured the severe pain, murmuring to himself . Fortunately, with his last bit of strength and his years of driving experience, he managed to pull the bus over safely to the side of the road. The next day, Peter saw the boss and children come to his home with flowers. The children handed him flowers and a drawing titled “Our Hero, Mr. Peter.” Tears welled up in Peter’s eyes Mr. Clark softened his tone and said, “Thank you for your quick thinking and dedication during such a critical moment. You’ve fulfilled your promise to keep the children safe.” Then he offered Peter an honorary position as a safety advisor. Peter felt a deep sense of fulfillment, knowing he could still play a meaningful role in ensuring the children’s safety and staying connected to the job he cherished. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位名叫Peter的老校车司机因年龄和健康问题被要求退休，但在退休前最后一天坚持保障学生安全，最终赢得尊重和荣誉的故事，展现了Peter对工作的热爱、责任感以及他在关键时刻的英勇行为。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，Peter感到一阵剧烈的胸痛。”以及第二段首句内容“第二天，Peter看到老板和孩子们捧着鲜花来到他家。”可知，第一段可描写Peter心存信念，终于将车停到了路边。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Peter看到老板和孩子们捧着鲜花来到他家。”可知，第二段可描写Peter的反应和奉献精神使他获得了所有人的尊重。 2.续写线索：Peter感到一阵剧烈的胸痛——他的双手在颤抖，仿佛就要失去控制——孩子们吓得尖叫起来——这时，Peter的脑中回忆起孩子们灿烂的笑容——他拼劲全力将车停在了路边——第二天，Peter看到老板和孩子们带着鲜花来看望自己——孩子们表达了对Peter的感激之情——老板也盛赞了Peter的忘我精神，并给他提供了一个安全顾问的荣誉职位 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②发生：happen to/occur to ③成功做：manage to/be able to 情绪类 ①满足感：a sense of fulfillment/ a sense of satisfaction ②珍视：cherish/value 【点睛】【高分句型1】His hands trembled on the steering wheel, and for a moment he lost control.（运用and连接的并列句） 【高分句型2】Peter felt a deep sense of fulfillment, knowing he could still play a meaningful role in ensuring the children’s safety and staying connected to the job he cherished.（运用了省略that的宾语从句和省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绵阳市南山中学高2024级高一下期3月月考试题 英语 2025年3月 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题并阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍) Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak, ” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 24. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? A. He was worried about his job. B. He had reached one of his goals. C. He was moved by a touching movie. D. He had experienced something terrible. 25. What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Told the truth B. Passed a test C. Started a new job D. Achieved a clean record 26 How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? A. By doing things that interest him. B. By writing himself encouraging words. C. By reporting his test results to his tutor. D. By reminding himself of his improvement. 27. What can we learn from Kevin’s story? A. Easy come, easy go. B. Grasp all, lose all. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. The early bird catches the worm. C Many strawberry farmers prefer to remove natural habitat around their farms to keep wild birds, and any bacteria they carry, away from their fields and crops. However a new study published in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks. The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California’s Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat. For the study scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal (排泄物) samples from 55 bird species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring most benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, were ranked beneficial to farmland. But the results were more than creating a list of “good” and “bad” birds. The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others. The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karp’s lab at University of California, Davis, all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry damage on farms with more habitat nearby. 28. What is the finding of the new study in 2022? A. Wild birds in farms decrease food-safety risks. B. Natural habitat near farms reduces crop damage C. Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms. D. Farms neighboring natural habitat benefit most from birds. 29. Which of the following was a research step in the study? A. Analyzing 55 bird species. B. Conducting 300 bird surveys. C. Finding out what wild birds eat. D. Ranking birds according to how they eat. 30. What determined the impact that birds brought to farms? A. Presence of neighboring farmlands. B. Management of the surrounding land. C. Location of natural habitat for wildlife. D. Species of wild birds that lived near farms. 31. Why is a related study in 2020 mentioned in the last paragraph? A To draw a conclusion. B. To make a comparison. C. To support the research finding. D. To give background information. D Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert.The city may be known to the outside world for its partying.But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass.The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on.The grass is only there to look nice. Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass.It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks. It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive.Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus.By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%. In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes.It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out.But fewer people are now using the program.Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019.And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall.The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water.The river could lose more water as climate change affects it. Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced.But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them.Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona.“There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民).They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said.“For some people, it’s a pool.For some people, it’s grass.” 32. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass? A. To protect the local people. B. To beautify the city. C. To reduce water usage. D. To reduce waste. 33. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003? A Allowing planting grass before new houses. B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass. C. Praising those who signed on the program. D. Awarding those who reduced water usage. 34. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph? A. Many residents won’t follow the ban. B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally. C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter. D. Water officials should take many factors into consideration. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless Grass B. A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas C. Choices between Beauty and Practice D. Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas 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。 Social media is a double-edged sword.

He had been one almost all his life, loving the company of the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel younger and more energetic. His record was clean, without one accident during his tenure (任期), which made him a trustworthy driver. However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was concerned that he was too old to be a school bus driver and that it was time for him to retire. “You don’t have a choice here, Peter,” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children who take your bus every day. We need a replacement at this stage.” “But I have a perfect record,” argued Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I enjoy staying with children. I want to keep my joy.” “Think about those kids, Peter,” Mr. Clark said. “I didn’t want to bring this up, but didn’t you mention before that you’ve been having some health problems lately? Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those kids?” “There is no problem with my body now. I’m still capable of handling driving,” Peter became a bit anxious and tried to explain further. But Mr. Clark’s attitude was firm. He shook his head, emphasizing that he couldn’t afford to take any risks, as the children’s safety was the top priority. Looking at Mr. Clark’s tough attitude, Peter thought it over and very unwillingly gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later. His retirement day approached pretty soon. On his last day of diving the school bus, Peter was filled with a heavy heart. As he made his usual rounds, picking up the children, he noticed that he was a bit more tired than usual. But he shrugged it off, thinking it was just the sadness of leaving his beloved job. 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。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly, Peter felt a sharp pain in his chest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Peter saw the boss and children come to his home with flowers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
