And that’s just what some scientists focus on about a particular species of ant. This ant, also called the ManhattAnt, first turned up in New York in 2011. But it’s already developed and grown. What’s more, ManhattAnts have started to spread outward, expanding their territory at a rate of about a mile a year.“ We predict that they could expand as far north as Maine and as far south as Atlanta, Georgia,” says American scientist Clint . Penick. He and his team are now trying to study it and figure out whether it’s likely to threaten native insect species or damage plants. Eventually, they definitively identified it as a species that’s native to Europe. That effort involved consulting with a European ant expert who could hardly believe that this ant was living it up in New York.“ He was like,’ They’ re not really powerful in any European area,’” says Penick. Now, ManhattAnts live on the sidewalk, but ants normally like to live in places like soil. and leaf litter —— including this species, which in its native Europe can be found making its home in forests. y Generally, these ants avoid human food. Their main food is honeydew, a kind of sugary substance. The ants go up into street trees to look for honeydew, and it seems that they’ve found a job that’s not really being pursued by other ants in this city. They’ll care for the plant pests (害虫) that produce honeydew, increasing the numbers of pests and consequently making life harder for the plants. It’s entirely possible that, in the long term, ManhattAnts could have a disadvantageous effect on city trees. The fact that ManhattAnts haven’t been obvious trouble- makers so far isn’t necessarily reassuring. We should remember what Benioit Guénard, an insect biodiversity researcher, has noted,“ We know that invasions (入侵) that appeared minor for decades can suddenly become serious and then cause major problems.” 8. What does the author indicate about ManhattAnts by mentioning Frank Sinatra? A. The reasons for their existence. B. Their living environment. C. The process of their wide spread. D. Their survival and growth. 9. How did the European ant expert in the text look at ManhattAnts? A. Their value was high in science. B. Their invasion took him by surprise. C. They should be kept in the forests. D. They were a symbol of insect diversity. 10. Why do ManhattAnts protect the plant pests? A. To save more young plants. B. To ensure their food supply. C. To replace their human food. D. To make honeydew more tasty. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards ManhattAnts? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Uneasy. D. Dismissive. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。曼哈顿蚁来源于欧洲，于2011年首次出现在纽约；现在它们已经开始向外蔓延，以每年约一英里的速度扩大其领土。这种蚂蚁改变了它们在欧洲的生活习惯，通常出没在人行道上，以树上的蜜露为食。科学家正在密切关注它们对植物的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Frank Sinatra famously sang that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. And that’s just what some scientists focus on about a particular species of ant.(Frank Sinatra有句名言:如果你能在纽约成功，你就能在任何地方成功。这正是一些科学家关注的一种特定蚂蚁。)”以及第二段中的“This ant, also called the ManhattAnt, first turned up in New York in 2011. But it’s already developed and grown. What’s more, ManhattAnts have started to spread outward, expanding their territory at a rate of about a mile a year.(这种蚂蚁，也被称为曼哈顿，于2011年首次出现在纽约。但它已经发展壮大了。更重要的是，曼哈顿已经开始向外扩散，以每年约一英里的速度扩大其领土。)”可知，提到Frank Sinatra是为了说明曼哈顿蚁 在纽约的迅速适应和生长，表明它们的生存和发展。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“That effort involved consulting with a European ant expert who could hardly believe that this ant was living it up in New York.“ He was like,’ They’ re not really powerful in any European area,’” says Penick.(为此，我咨询了一位欧洲蚂蚁专家，这位专家简直不敢相信这只蚂蚁会在纽约过得很好。“他说，‘他们在任何欧洲地区都没有真正影响力’”Penick说。)”可知，欧洲蚂蚁专家对在曼哈顿蚁在纽约的生长表示惊讶，因为这种蚂蚁在欧洲并不强势。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The ants go up into street trees to look for honeydew, and it seems that they’ve found a job that’s not really being pursued by other ants in this city. They’ll care for the plant pests(害虫) that produce honeydew, increasing the numbers of pests and consequently making life harder for the plants.(蚂蚁爬上行道树去找蜜露，似乎他们找到了一份城市里其他蚂蚁并不追求的工作。它们会照顾产生蜜露的植物害虫，增加害虫的数量，从而使植物的生存更加困难。)”可知，曼哈顿蚁保护害虫是为了确保它们的食物供应。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s entirely possible that, in the long term, ManhattAnts could have a disadvantageous effect on city trees. The fact that ManhattAnts haven’t been obvious trouble- makers so far isn’t necessarily reassuring. We should remember what Benioit Guénard, an insect biodiversity researcher, has noted,“ We know that invasions (入侵) that appeared minor for decades can suddenly become serious and then cause major problems.”(从长远来看，曼哈顿蚁完全有可能对城市树木产生不利影响。到目前为止，曼哈顿蚁还没有成为明显的麻烦制造者，这一事实并不一定让人放心。我们应该记住昆虫生物多样性研究者Benioit Guénard所说的:“我们知道，几十年来看似微不足道的入侵可能突然变得严重，然后引发重大问题。”)”可知，作者提到曼哈顿蚁可能对城市树木有不利影响，并引用研究者的观点强调这种蚂蚁可能会突然造成严重问题，表达了一种不安的态度。故选C项。 D Children are taught that the polite thing to do is always say “please”. Today’s babies are even taught it using sign language. But how often do you really say “please” in everyday conversations? A new research published in Social Psychology Quarterly found people used the word “please” when making a request only 7% of the time. “We definitely were surprised by the results,” says Tanya Stivers, a professor of sociology at University of California at Los Angeles and one of the authors of the study. “Having such a low number feels counterintuitive.” Using conversation analysis, the study investigated when and where people use “please” in everyday requests. Not only do people use “please” less than 10% of the time when making requests, but they also tend to use it most when they expect a “no” response is forthcoming. Most interestingly, requests phrased with “please” are no more likely to work than other polite requests. Why? Because the word “please” is being used as a way to convince the other person into agreeing with a request they might otherwise be unwilling to do. This small talk can leave the person being asked feeling uncomfortable. “We found that using ‘please’ often indicates that you’re requesting something you shouldn’t be,” Stivers says. According to the study, people are most likely to use “please” when asking someone to stop doing what they’ re doing and do what the asker wants instead, or when making a request they think the other person isn’t going to like. “What people are really trying to say by saying ‘please’ often is that they’ re polite people,” Stivers says. “Sometimes, it doesn’t mean you’ re not being polite just because you’ re not saying ‘please’. There’ re many other phrases we use when making requests to show politeness.” These include things like, “Would you mind...?”, “Would it be OK...?” and “How about...?” It is so funny that we socialize children to do this thing we adults don’t do, but teaching kids to say “please” isn’t bad. Just ensure you’re also including other polite phrases. “If someone is trying to be more polite, I’d recommend adding other polite phrases first, before adding in more ‘please’,” says Stivers. 12. What does the underlined word “counterintuitive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. The same as the fact. B. Contrary to common sense. C. Reasonable to accept. D. Difficult to disagree with. 13. Why does “please” probably fail to work as effectively as expected? A. It makes one feel forced. B. It is said in a rude manner. C. It leaves the asker stressed. D. It gives one a sense of mistrust. 14. What is probably Tanya Stivers’s opinion about being polite? A. It asks people to make requests. B. It means saying “please” more. C. It ought to be done smartly. D. It is a result of societal change. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Polite Phrases Now Have Got New Meanings. B. Polite Phrases Are Used More Often in Daily Life. C. Many Other Polite Phrases Are Replacing “Please”. D. “Please” May Soon Become a Thing of the Past. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于“please”在日常请求中使用情况的研究，介绍了研究结果、原因以及专家对此的看法和建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。结合第一段中关于人们使用“please”一词的频率的研究数据和第二段中“We definitely were surprised by the results(我们对结果感到惊讶)”以及“Having such a low number feels counterintuitive. (有这么低的数字感觉是_____。)”可知，人们对“please”在日常请求中的使用频率之低感到惊讶，这与人们的普遍预期或直觉是相反的。故划线词counterintuitive意为“与直觉相反的，违反常理的”，与B项Contrary to common sense(与常识相反)意思相近。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most interestingly, requests phrased with “please” are no more likely to work than other polite requests. Why? Because the word ‘please’ is being used as a way to convince the other person into agreeing with a request they might otherwise be unwilling to do. This small talk can leave the person being asked feeling uncomfortable. (最有趣的是，用“please”表达的请求并不比其他礼貌的请求更有效。为什么？因为“please”这个词被用来说服对方同意他们可能不愿意做的请求。这种闲聊会让被问者感到不舒服)”可知，“please”可能无法像预期那样有效地起作用，因为它让对方感觉被强迫。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Sometimes, it doesn’t mean you’ re not being polite just because you’ re not saying ‘please’. There’ re many other phrases we use when making requests to show politeness. (有时候，仅仅因为你不说“please”，并不意味着你不礼貌。我们在提出请求时还会使用很多其他短语来表示礼貌)”以及“‘If someone is trying to be more polite, I’d recommend adding other polite phrases first, before adding in more ‘please’,” says Stivers. (如果有人想更有礼貌，我建议先添加其他礼貌的短语，然后再添加更多的‘please’)”可知，Tanya Stivers认为礼貌不仅仅是说“please”，还可以通过其他礼貌的短语来表达，即礼貌应该巧妙地表达。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中“A new research published in Social Psychology Quarterly found people used the word ‘please’ when making a request only 7% of the time. (《社会心理学季刊》上发表的一项新研究发现，人们在提出请求时只有7%的时间会使用“please”这个词)”以及全文对“please”在日常请求中使用情况的研究介绍可知，文章主要讲的是“please”在日常交流中的使用频率越来越低，可能会被其他礼貌短语所取代，故“‘Please’ May Soon Become a Thing of the Past(‘please’可能很快就会成为过去式)”是最佳标题。故选D项。 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。 Improve your memory Some people often complain about their poor memory.

G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。有些人经常抱怨自己记忆力在减退，文章主要就如何保持记忆力敏锐，给出了一些方法。 【16题详解】 根据后文When you say these things, you begin to plant the thought in your mind and it may become true. Tell yourself you can remember anything as long as you put your mind to the task. You will see an improvement in your memory.可知当你说这些事情的时候，你就开始把这种想法植入你的头脑，它就有可能成为现实。告诉自己，只要你用心去做，你就能记住任何事情。你会发现你的记忆力有所改善。由此可知，本段主要是说明不要再给自己灌输“自己记忆力”不好的想法了，否则真有可能会成为现实，而是要告诉自己只要你用心去做，你就能记住任何事情。故C选项“别再告诉自己你记性不好了”切题。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据下文If you remember them in smaller groups, like two or three digits (数字), it will also be much easier to remember the numbers.可知如果你把它们分成较小的一组，比如两位数或三位数，记住这些数字也会容易得多。由此可知，本段主要在说我们可以把数字分成小块来记。故B选项“把数字分成小块来记”切题。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文Be sure to see a doctor if you are really losing your memory. A poor memory can be a sign that you are in low spirits.(如果你真的失忆了，一定要去看医生。记忆力差可能是你情绪低落的迹象)可知，你如果真的记忆在衰退，就去看医生，治疗可以帮助恢复记忆。所以选项承接上文，故F选项“如果是这样，治疗是可以帮助恢复记忆的”切题。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文Playing games also helps improve your memory. Any type of games that involves remembering things is wonderful.可知玩游戏也有助于提高你的记忆力。任何涉及记忆的游戏都很棒。以及后文Try and remember it when you have nothing better to do.可知当你无事可做的时候，试着记住它。由此可知，本句是在说明，除了上文做游戏之外的另一个锻炼记忆的方法，这种方法也同样需要记忆。后文中it可对应到E选项中a list of “to-do things”。故E选项“如果你不喜欢游戏，你可以浏览‘要做的事情’清单”切题。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据前文A useful tip for anyone interested in games is too often work on solving word puzzles and similar types of games.(对于那些对游戏感兴趣的人来说，一个有用的建议就是经常做字谜和类似类型的游戏)可知，我们可以做一些猜字谜或类似的游戏。由此可知，本句承接上文在说明游戏的好处。故G选项“这种游戏使用同样的技能，需要记住事实，并帮助保持头脑敏锐”切题。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My husband Jeff and I were on a vacation in another city and having a bird’s view of the city on top of a mountain nearby was on his bucket list.

One day, her class teacher talked about gifts and how it was much more important to give them than to receive them. She said that she hoped all the boys and girls in the class would remember to give something, however small, to their loved ones to show how much they loved them. Afterward Lucy thought a good deal about what the teacher had said and wondered how she could afford to give anything to anybody. Her daddy gave her $1 a week for pocket money, and that didn’t go very far these days. Somehow, she thought, she would try to buy something for mother, and father, and brother, and sister, but, oh, dear, there was Grandma, too! What could she do about Grandma? The next time she went to class she asked the teacher if it would be acceptable to give Grandma just a card. The teacher said Grandma would be happy to receive the smallest thing if it was given in love. So Lucy began searching for a card for Grandma that wouldn’t cost too much. One day she saw it. The very one! It had a picture of a cat on it, and Lucy remembered that Grandma had just lost old tabby cat(斑猫)that she had loved so much. So she bought the card, paying one whole week’s pocket money for it. On the day Lucy gave Grandma the card, she was overjoyed to see how pleased Grandma was. She said the picture of the cat was just like her own precious tabby. This gave Lucy an idea. “Someday,” she said to herself, “I’ll buy my granny a real cat. Just think how happy she’ll be then!” She found a pet shop and asked how much a real cat would cost. “Twenty dollars,” said the man. Lucy’s face fell. Twenty dollars! How in the world would she ever get $20? That would take all her pocket money for 20 weeks — five whole months! 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。 As she stood on the street, Lucy felt something brushing her leg. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, Lucy went to the lady’s house to get a baby cat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As she stood on the street, Lucy felt something brushing her leg. Looking down, she saw a beautiful tabby cat. For a moment she was tempted to pick it up and run home with it. However, she quickly dismissed the thought. Just then, a lady called out, “My cat seems to like you.” Lucy responded with a smile, expressing her desire to give one to Grandma and her concern over the cost of $20 at the pet shop. The lady nodded sympathetically, mentioning that her cat would soon have kittens. She would love Lucy to come and choose one for her grandma once they are old enough. Overjoyed, Lucy thanked the lady warmly. Two months later, Lucy went to the lady’s house to get a baby cat. There, she found four adorable kittens and chose the one that looked the most like the cat Grandma had lost. As she made her way back home, eager to deliver the precious gift to her grandma, the anticipation consumed her. When Lucy finally presented the cat, Grandma was surprised and pleased. After learning the heartwarming story behind the thoughtful gesture, Grandma was also deeply touched. As Lucy saw the kitten in Grandma’s arms, she knew her gift had brought immeasurable joy to her beloved grandma. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小露西为线索展开，讲述了露西在老师的启发下决定给家人买礼物，但因资金有限只能给奶奶买了一张卡片，卡片上的图案让露西萌生了给奶奶买一只真猫的想法，然而真猫的价格对她来说太贵了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她站在街上时，露西感觉到有什么东西蹭着她的腿。”可知，第一段可描写露西遇到了一只猫，猫的主人提出等猫生下小猫后让露西来选一只。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个月后，露西去那位女士家拿小猫。”可知，第二段可描写露西选了一只最像奶奶丢失的猫的小猫，并将小猫送给奶奶，奶奶很高兴。 2.续写线索：露西遇到猫——猫主人提出让露西选小猫——露西期待选小猫——露西选小猫——露西送小猫给奶奶——奶奶很高兴 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①挑选：pick/choose ②呈现：present/show ③感动：touch/move 情绪类： ①可爱的：adorable/cute/lovely ②热切的：eager/keen ③惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking down, she saw a beautiful tabby cat.(运用了现在分词作时间状语) [高分句型2] When Lucy finally presented the cat, Grandma was surprised and pleased.(运用了从属连词when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3] As Lucy saw the kitten in Grandma’s arms, she knew her gift had brought immeasurable joy to her beloved grandma.(运用了从属连词as引导的时间状语从句和省略连词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 六安第二中学2025届高三第八次月考 英语试题 时间：120分钟 分值：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.

As a young girl aged 18, Emily Carter not only has published a book but also works for the noble cause of environmental protection. Emily uses her position to spread awareness among people to conserve (保护) our environment. Her grandfather and others in the family motivated her to publish her poems and she did so by finally launching the book Mystic. As soon as the book was published, many people liked and appreciated her poems. Her book got much love from readers and she became a well-known figure. Emily started writing at an early age, by penning down her life experiences in her diary in the form of poetry. The book Mystic is a comprehensive collection, from reflecting on a childhood spent in nature to the excitement of life in the city. Emily uses rhythmic descriptions of the natural surroundings, leaving the readers fascinated by the subtle differences in life and the natural world. She conveys the various moods in the different situations of life and expresses her inner thoughts beautifully in the book. Her poems generate a range of emotions in the readers, thus forming a strong connection with them. And this young girl published the book, intending to raise funds to fight climate change. All sale earnings from this book were donated to D-CAL, an organization working for environmental conservation. During their teenage years, most young people are busy with studies or other activities, and hardly care about our environment or their contribution to society. However, Emily’s focus has always been on bringing about a positive change in society. With a passion for protecting the environment, the young environmentalist is doing her best to make her voice heard and create a better future for the coming generations. A girl with many talents, Emily is indeed an inspiration to many ambitious young writers. 4. What made Emily Carter famous? A. Her wonderful life experiences. B. The popularity of her poems with readers. C. The wholehearted support from her family. D. Her contribution to environmental protection. 5. What can we infer about the book Mystic from Paragraph 3? A. It only describes the natural environment in a rhythmic way. B. It contains poems reflecting different life stages and emotions. C. It mainly focuses on Emily’s childhood experiences in the city. D. It discusses issues on environmental conservation and climate change. 6. In what way is Emily Carter different from most of her fellow teenagers? A. She has a better academic performance. B. She has a lot of free time at her disposal. C. She is committed to creating a better society. D. She is able to support herself through high school. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Emily Carter? A. Confident and honest. B. Courageous and calm. C. Ambitious and patient. D. Generous and passionate. C Frank Sinatra famously sang that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. And that’s just what some scientists focus on about a particular species of ant. This ant, also called the ManhattAnt, first turned up in New York in 2011. But it’s already developed and grown. What’s more, ManhattAnts have started to spread outward, expanding their territory at a rate of about a mile a year.“ We predict that they could expand as far north as Maine and as far south as Atlanta, Georgia,” says American scientist Clint . Penick. He and his team are now trying to study it and figure out whether it’s likely to threaten native insect species or damage plants. Eventually, they definitively identified it as a species that’s native to Europe. That effort involved consulting with a European ant expert who could hardly believe that this ant was living it up in New York.“ He was like,’ They’ re not really powerful in any European area,’” says Penick. Now, ManhattAnts live on the sidewalk, but ants normally like to live in places like soil. and leaf litter —— including this species, which in its native Europe can be found making its home in forests. y Generally, these ants avoid human food. Their main food is honeydew, a kind of sugary substance. The ants go up into street trees to look for honeydew, and it seems that they’ve found a job that’s not really being pursued by other ants in this city. They’ll care for the plant pests (害虫) that produce honeydew, increasing the numbers of pests and consequently making life harder for the plants. It’s entirely possible that, in the long term, ManhattAnts could have a disadvantageous effect on city trees. The fact that ManhattAnts haven’t been obvious trouble- makers so far isn’t necessarily reassuring. We should remember what Benioit Guénard, an insect biodiversity researcher, has noted,“ We know that invasions (入侵) that appeared minor for decades can suddenly become serious and then cause major problems.” 8. What does the author indicate about ManhattAnts by mentioning Frank Sinatra? A. The reasons for their existence. B. Their living environment. C. The process of their wide spread. D. Their survival and growth. 9. How did the European ant expert in the text look at ManhattAnts? A. Their value was high in science. B. Their invasion took him by surprise. C. They should be kept in the forests. D. They were a symbol of insect diversity. 10. Why do ManhattAnts protect the plant pests? A. To save more young plants. B. To ensure their food supply. C. To replace their human food. D. To make honeydew more tasty. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards ManhattAnts? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Uneasy. D. Dismissive. D Children are taught that the polite thing to do is always say “please”. Today’s babies are even taught it using sign language. But how often do you really say “please” in everyday conversations? A new research published in Social Psychology Quarterly found people used the word “please” when making a request only 7% of the time. “We definitely were surprised by the results,” says Tanya Stivers, a professor of sociology at University of California at Los Angeles and one of the authors of the study. “Having such a low number feels counterintuitive.” Using conversation analysis, the study investigated when and where people use “please” in everyday requests. Not only do people use “please” less than 10% of the time when making requests, but they also tend to use it most when they expect a “no” response is forthcoming. Most interestingly, requests phrased with “please” are no more likely to work than other polite requests. Why? Because the word “please” is being used as a way to convince the other person into agreeing with a request they might otherwise be unwilling to do. This small talk can leave the person being asked feeling uncomfortable. “We found that using ‘please’ often indicates that you’re requesting something you shouldn’t be,” Stivers says. According to the study, people are most likely to use “please” when asking someone to stop doing what they’ re doing and do what the asker wants instead, or when making a request they think the other person isn’t going to like. “What people are really trying to say by saying ‘please’ often is that they’ re polite people,” Stivers says. “Sometimes, it doesn’t mean you’ re not being polite just because you’ re not saying ‘please’. There’ re many other phrases we use when making requests to show politeness.” These include things like, “Would you mind...?”, “Would it be OK...?” and “How about...?” It is so funny that we socialize children to do this thing we adults don’t do, but teaching kids to say “please” isn’t bad.

One day, her class teacher talked about gifts and how it was much more important to give them than to receive them. She said that she hoped all the boys and girls in the class would remember to give something, however small, to their loved ones to show how much they loved them. Afterward Lucy thought a good deal about what the teacher had said and wondered how she could afford to give anything to anybody. Her daddy gave her $1 a week for pocket money, and that didn’t go very far these days. Somehow, she thought, she would try to buy something for mother, and father, and brother, and sister, but, oh, dear, there was Grandma, too! What could she do about Grandma? The next time she went to class she asked the teacher if it would be acceptable to give Grandma just a card. The teacher said Grandma would be happy to receive the smallest thing if it was given in love. So Lucy began searching for a card for Grandma that wouldn’t cost too much. One day she saw it. The very one! It had a picture of a cat on it, and Lucy remembered that Grandma had just lost old tabby cat(斑猫)that she had loved so much. So she bought the card, paying one whole week’s pocket money for it. On the day Lucy gave Grandma the card, she was overjoyed to see how pleased Grandma was. She said the picture of the cat was just like her own precious tabby. This gave Lucy an idea. “Someday,” she said to herself, “I’ll buy my granny a real cat. Just think how happy she’ll be then!” She found a pet shop and asked how much a real cat would cost. “Twenty dollars,” said the man. Lucy’s face fell. Twenty dollars! How in the world would she ever get $20? That would take all her pocket money for 20 weeks — five whole months! 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。 As she stood on the street, Lucy felt something brushing her leg. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, Lucy went to the lady’s house to get a baby cat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
