I remember once she told me that she had done nothing to prepare for a meeting, but she pulled it off, because she collected all the key information she needed in a short time. M: Well, maybe.

Exercising every day. B. Quitting social media. C. Doing 20-minute housework each day. 18. How long does the speaker spend on her phone every day? A. One to two hours. B. Two to three hours. C. Three to four hours. 19. What percentage of people typically make New Year’s resolutions? A. At least 25%. B. More than 35%. C. Around 45%. 20. Why do people make resolutions on January 1st? A. To follow the cultural tradition. B. To decrease the obstacles of old habits. C. To increase the chances of achieving their goals. 【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Are New Year’s resolutions powerful or pointless? Almost every year of my life, I’ve started the New Year with a set of resolutions that I’ve been determined to keep. The results, predictably, have been variable. Last year, I mostly kept to my fitness goal of doing 20-minute sports each day, but I failed miserably at my aim of quitting social media. According to my weekly screen-time reports, I still spend between two and three hours each day on my phone. I am far from alone in my determination to start each new year with a plan for self-improvement. At least a quarter of people typically make New Year’s resolutions, and a large portion of those good wishes end in disappointment. Rationally speaking, January 1st should be no better than any other day to make a life change. So why put the needless pressure on ourselves to “upgrade” our lives at the opening of a new calendar?  Recent psychological research, however, suggests that there are many good reasons to begin a new habit on the first day of a new year. That’s because we can all increase our chances of sticking to our new goals for the new year. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Escape to the Laid-back Cook Islands at Muri Beach Club Hotel Relax and recharge in style at the adult-only Muri Beach Club Hotel.

Gerty decided at the age of sixteen to study medicine. She entered the Realgymnasium at Tetschen, from which she graduated in 1914, and then went to the Medical School of the German University of Prague. While in medical school, Gerty met Carl Cori, a classmate who shared both her love of skiing and mountain climbing and her interest in laboratory research. In 1920, the two published the results of their first joint research, received their medical degrees, and married each other. Gerty’s first research position was as an assistant in the Karolinen Children’s Hospital in Vienna. In 1922, Carl Cori moved to the United States to join the staff of the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases in Buffalo, New York. Gerty Cori moved a few months later, starting as an assistant pathologist ( 病理学家) at the Institute and later rising to an assistant biochemist. In 1928, the Coris became US citizens. In 1931, Carl Cori accepted the position of chairman of the Department of Pharmacology of the Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM), while Gerty Cori was hired as a research fellow. In the early 1940s the Coris moved to the Department of Biological Chemistry. Gerty Cori was made an associate ( 副) professor of Research Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology in 1943. She was elevated to the rank ( 级别) of professor of Biological Chemistry in July 1947, the same year she and her husband were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on the metabolism of glycogen (糖代谢). In 1947, Gerty Cori began showing the signs of myelofibrosis, an unusual blood disease. She fought the disease for ten years, refusing to give up her research until the last few months of her life. Gerty Cori died on October 26, 1957. 24. What can we learn about Gerty’s husband? A. He shared the same interests with Gerty. B. He moved to the USA later than Gerty. C. He married Gerty while in medical school. D. He studied pathology under the influence of Gerty. 25. Which of the following is the correct order of the events in Gerty’s life? a. She moved to the USA. b. She won the Nobel Prize. c. She met her husband Carl. d. She got a job in the WUSM. e. She received her medical degree.

What can we infer about Gerty from the last paragraph? A. She was satisfied with her later life. B. She was in poor health all her life. C. She died of a common disease. D. She was very mentally strong. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章简要介绍了美国首位获得诺贝尔生理学奖的女性——格蒂·科里。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While in medical school, Gerty met Carl Cori, a classmate who shared both her love of skiing and mountain climbing and her interest in laboratory research.(在医学院读书期间，格蒂遇到了卡尔·科尼，两人都喜欢滑雪和登山，也都对实验室研究感兴趣。)”可知，格蒂丈夫卡尔和她有着相同的兴趣爱好。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文可知，格蒂在布拉格大学医学院读书时认识了后来的丈夫；两人于1920年获得医学学位；之后夫妇二人于1922年移民到美国；1931年格蒂和丈夫任职于华盛顿医学院；1947年他们共同获得诺贝尔奖。故选B。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Gerty Cori was made an associate ( 副) professor of Research Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology in 1943. She was elevated to the rank ( 级别) of professor of Biological Chemistry in July 1947.( Gerty Cori于1943年被任命为研究生物化学和药理学副教授。1947年7月，她被提升为生物化学教授。)”可知，1943年格蒂是副教授，1947年7月她是教授，由此可以推断划线词为“晋升，升职”的意思。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“She fought the disease for ten years, refusing to give up her research until the last few months of her life. Gerty Cori died on October 26, 1957.(她与疾病抗争了十年，直到生命的最后几个月，她都拒绝放弃她的研究。格蒂于1957年10月26日去世。)”可知，即使与病魔做斗争，格蒂也没有放弃自己的研究事业，直到生命的尽头。由此可以推断，她有着十分顽强的生命力，对于科学一片热忱。故选D。 C Staying in hospital can be difficult for patients, often causing fear and anxiety, especially in younger individuals. These emotions can easily take over, but hospitals in Richmond, Virginia, have programs to relieve some of the stress and create moments of joy. Due to a program called Dogs On Call provided by the non-profit organization Center for Human-Animal Interaction, at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the sound of dogs coming down the hallway creates an atmosphere of excitement among child patients. For 21 years, the volunteer-run program has been connecting dogs with those in need of an inspiring moment. With the necessary registration steps, dogs and handlers can participate in weekly visits to the hospital. Besides the scheduled visits, parents or children can request a specific team to visit their rooms. “When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R. Gee, executive director of the center. Their faces change just for a moment. They’re not thinking about their health situation or their pain. Just for that moment, they’re just kids with a dog. Instead of Dogs On Call, Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital of Richmond provides Happy Wheels, a program in which a cart full of treats and other items rolling through the halls of the hospital. The volunteer-run program visits four times a week. They go from room to room to hand out toys, coffee, snacks, and other comfort items. All of the items found in the cart are donated to the program and handed out to families in all children’s care units. “It’s an opportunity for the children to be children and to get excited about a new toy coming in their rooms, ”says Laura Gepford, child life specialist at St. Mary’s Hospital. “Besides the fevers, the medicine and all the difficult things that occur in the hospital, they have the shining of happy moments. That’s what people hold onto. ” 28. What do we know about the program Dogs On Call? A. Dogs might frighten the child patients. B. Dog visits must follow a fixed schedule. C.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了住院对病人来说可能很困难，通常会引起恐惧和焦虑，尤其是年轻人。这些情绪很容易占据上风，但弗吉尼亚州里士满的医院有一些项目可以缓解一些压力，创造欢乐的时刻。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Due to a program called Dogs On Call provided by the non-profit organization Center for Human-Animal Interaction, at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the sound of dogs coming down the hallway creates an atmosphere of excitement among child patients.”（由于里士满儿童医院的非营利组织“人与动物互动中心”提供了一个名为“狗随叫随到”的项目，狗从走廊上走下来的声音在儿童病人中营造了一种兴奋的气氛。）以及第四段中““When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R. Gee, executive director of the center.”（“当病人与狗互动时，它可以降低血压，减轻疼痛，”该中心的执行主任南希·R·吉说。）可知，Dogs On Call这个项目它可以对儿童病人进行精神治疗。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R.

In recognizing that, it is always important to remember that our rapid rise of the urban civilization(城市文明) has unavoidably impacted the planet and life on it. In the long run, however, the civilization risks destroying well balanced ecosystems, which could potentially have serious results for humanity itself. As such,we must eventually find a balance between development and nature which can maintain the ecology, beauty and harmony(和谐) of the earth. The word “harmony” is an important concept in China. Chinese society and culture are built on the idea that relationships between people should be harmonious, which means avoiding conflict, highlighting a common good and balancing uncontrollable desires with the needs of society as a whole. However, this idea does not just apply to people, it also applies to our relationships with the world and nature. Never has this been more meaningful than the view of how China handles its rapid development, which has lastingly changed the country’s landscape and created new challenges regarding nature and the environment. Actually, over the past few years China has been working hard to protect biodiversity and has drawn “red lines” for ecological protection, established a national park system, and undertaken major projects for biodiversity protection. One example of China’s success in this area is in its reversing(逆转) of the decrease of its giant panda population to the point that it is no longer endangered. This effort included creating a giant panda national park in 2016 and doubling the number of births. Pandas have become “a global symbol of conservation success”—something in which China has played a key part. Likewise, China is also taking its efforts overseas. It recently announced a $232 million fund to promote biodiversity protection in developing countries. The effort is a part of its “community of shared future for mankind”, meaning that we share one world, one planet and one future, and so we human beings must work together. Now it is the time to act. 32. Which potential risk along with the urban civilization is mentioned? A. Loss of the natural scenery. B. Breaking the ecosystem balance. C. The disappearance of all species. D. Ruining our human health. 33. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The word “harmony” refers to good interpersonal relationship. B. Human’s uncontrolled desires aren’t connected with harmony. C. Keeping in harmony makes a difference to China’s development. D. Balancing development and nature isn’t complicated as imagined. 34. What does the author want to tell us by the example of pandas? A. China has completed the task of protecting biodiversity. B. China has made some achievements of protecting biodiversity. C. The population of giant panda is gradually decreasing recently. D. Pandas have become the most successful representative of China。 35. Which of the following can best describe China’s role in protecting biodiversity? A. Fundamental. B. Unique. C. Indirect. D. Mysterious. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类与数百万其他物种和生命形式共享这个星球。在认识到这一点时，重要的是要记住，我们城市文明的迅速崛起不可避免地影响了地球和地球上的生活。作者指出我们必须最终在发展和自然之间找到一个平衡，以保持地球的生态、美丽和和谐，同时说明了中国在人与人之间关系的建立所坚持的理念以及保护生物多样性所付出的努力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the long run, however, the civilization risks destroying well balanced ecosystems, which could potentially have serious results for humanity itself. As such we must eventually find a balance between development and nature which can maintain the ecology, beauty and harmony of the earth.(然而，从长远来看，这个文明有破坏非常平衡的生态系统的风险，这可能会给人类自身带来严重后果。因此，我们必须最终在发展和自然之间找到一个平衡，以保持地球的生态、美丽和和谐)”可知，城市文明的潜在风险是破坏生态平衡。故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The word “harmony” is an important concept in China. Chinese society and culture are built on the idea that relationships between people should be harmonious, which means avoiding conflict, highlighting a common good and balancing uncontrollable desires with the needs of society as a whole. However, this idea does not just apply to people, it also applies to our relationships with the world and nature. Never has this been more meaningful than the view of how China handles its rapid development, which has lastingly changed the country's landscape and created new challenges regarding nature and the environment. (“和谐”一词在中国是一个重要的概念。中国的社会和文化是建立在人与人之间的关系应该是和谐的理念上的，这意味着避免冲突，强调共同的利益，平衡不可控制的欲望和整个社会的需求。然而，这一理念并不仅仅适用于人类，它也适用于我们与世界和自然的关系。中国的快速发展改变了中国的面貌，也给自然和环境带来了新的挑战)”可知，第三段主要讲述保持和谐对中国的发展至关重要。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Actually, over the past few years China has been working hard to protect biodiversity and has drawn “red lines” for ecological protection, established a national park system, and undertaken major projects for biodiversity protection.(事实上，在过去的几年里，中国一直在努力保护生物多样性，划定了生态保护的“红线”。建立国家生物多样性保护体系，实施生物多样性保护重大项目)”以及倒数第二段中“One example of China’s success in this area is in its reversing(逆转)of the decrease of its giant panda population to the point that it is no longer endangered. (中国在这一领域取得成功的一个例子是，它扭转了大熊猫数量下降的趋势，使其不再是濒危物种)”可推知，作者通过熊猫这个例子想告诉我们中国在生物多样性保护方面取得了一些成就。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Pandas have become “a global symbol of conservation success”—something in which China has played a key part.(大熊猫已经成为“保护成功的全球象征”，而中国在这方面发挥了关键作用)”以及最后一段“Likewise, China is also taking its efforts overseas. It recently announced a $232 million fund to promote biodiversity protection in developing countries. The effort is a part of its “community of shared future for mankind”, meaning that we share one world, one planet and one future, and so we human beings must work together. Now it is the time to act. (同样，中国也在向海外拓展。它最近宣布了一项2.32亿美元的基金，以促进发展中国家的生物多样性保护。这是“人类命运共同体”的组成部分，即同一个世界、同一个星球、同一个未来，人类必须携手合作。现在是行动的时候了)”可推知，中国在保护生物多样性方面发挥着重要作用。故选A。 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余的选项。 The age range between about 13 and 19 is an important time in an individual’s life.____36____While you are a teenager, many exciting opportunities for success are given to you.

For many months, I had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knew my father could well afford it. I told my father what I wanted was the sports car. As Graduation Day approached, I waited for signs that my father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of my graduation, my father called me into his private study. He told me how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told me how much he loved me. He handed me a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, I opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible (圣经), with my name carved in gold. Angrily, I raised my voice to my father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” I then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. I felt depressed and couldn't accept the fact that my father did not fulfill my expectation. Many years passed and I was very successful in business. I had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing my father was very old, I thought perhaps I should go to see him. I had not seen him since that Graduation Day. Before I could make the arrangements, I received a call from one of my relatives telling me that my father had passed away, and left all of his possessions to me. I needed to come home immediately and deal with them. 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。 Stepping into my father’s study, I was lost in deep sorrow（悲伤）and guilt. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finishing reading the Bible, a car key dropped from the back of it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Stepping into my father’s study, I was lost in deep sorrow（悲伤）and guilt. I looked around the room carefully, hoping to search for something in memory of my father. Suddenly I noticed a book on the desk. Approaching near, I found it was the Bible, the one that my father sent me as a gift on Graduation Day. I opened it and began to turn the pages patiently. Finishing reading the Bible, a car key dropped from the back of it. I picked it up at once and saw a small piece of paper on it. It said, “This was a graduation gift for you, my dear son. Hope you enjoy this one I choose for you. Paid in full.” At that moment, flood of guilt filled my heart, making me feel sad and regretful. I have mistaken my father for so many years. I even didn’t see him for the last time. I couldn’t help crying loudly in his study. Until then did I realize how much he loved me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者大学毕业的时候想要一辆跑车，但他的父亲送给他一本《圣经》，他很生气和失望，之后再也没有回去看过父亲。多年以后，他事业有成，打算回去看父亲，被告知父亲已经去世，作者回去看父亲送给自己的《圣经》时，掉下来一把车钥匙，原来父亲早就给他买好了那辆跑车。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走进父亲的书房，我沉浸在深深的悲伤和内疚之中。”可知，第一段可描写作者在父亲书房发现《圣经》的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“读完《圣经》后，一把车钥匙从后面掉了出来。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现自己对父亲的误解以及描写作者的感受。 2.续写线索：环顾房间——寻找遗物——注意到《圣经》——捡起钥匙，看到纸条——感到悲伤，后悔——忍不住大哭——意识到父亲的爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 环顾四周：look around/look all round 寻找：search for/seek 注意到：notice/pay attention to 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 难过的：sad/upset 后悔的：regretful/penitent 【点睛】[高分句型1] Approaching near, I found it was the Bible, the one that my father sent me as a gift on Graduation Day.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导定语从句） [高分句型2] Until then did I realize how much he loved me.（运用了部分倒装，how much引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 玉溪师院附中 2025 届高二上学期期中考试 英 语 试 卷 (满分： 150 分，考试时间： 120 分钟) 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Who is the woman probably talking to?

B Gerty Cori, the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, was born Gerty Theresa Radnitz in Prague in 1896. Gerty decided at the age of sixteen to study medicine. She entered the Realgymnasium at Tetschen, from which she graduated in 1914, and then went to the Medical School of the German University of Prague. While in medical school, Gerty met Carl Cori, a classmate who shared both her love of skiing and mountain climbing and her interest in laboratory research. In 1920, the two published the results of their first joint research, received their medical degrees, and married each other. Gerty’s first research position was as an assistant in the Karolinen Children’s Hospital in Vienna. In 1922 Carl Cori moved to the United States to join the staff of the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases in Buffalo, New York. Gerty Cori moved a few months later, starting as an assistant pathologist ( 病理学家) at the Institute and later rising to an assistant biochemist. In 1928, the Coris became US citizens. In 1931, Carl Cori accepted the position of chairman of the Department of Pharmacology of the Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM), while Gerty Cori was hired as a research fellow. In the early 1940s the Coris moved to the Department of Biological Chemistry. Gerty Cori was made an associate ( 副) professor of Research Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology in 1943.

These emotions can easily take over, but hospitals in Richmond, Virginia, have programs to relieve some of the stress and create moments of joy. Due to a program called Dogs On Call provided by the non-profit organization Center for Human-Animal Interaction, at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the sound of dogs coming down the hallway creates an atmosphere of excitement among child patients. For 21 years, the volunteer-run program has been connecting dogs with those in need of an inspiring moment. With the necessary registration steps, dogs and handlers can participate in weekly visits to the hospital. Besides the scheduled visits, parents or children can request a specific team to visit their rooms. “When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R. Gee, executive director of the center. Their faces change just for a moment. They’re not thinking about their health situation or their pain. Just for that moment, they’re just kids with a dog. Instead of Dogs On Call, Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital of Richmond provides Happy Wheels, a program in which a cart full of treats and other items rolling through the halls of the hospital. The volunteer-run program visits four times a week. They go from room to room to hand out toys, coffee, snacks, and other comfort items. All of the items found in the cart are donated to the program and handed out to families in all children’s care units. “It’s an opportunity for the children to be children and to get excited about a new toy coming in their rooms, ”says Laura Gepford, child life specialist at St. Mary’s Hospital. “Besides the fevers, the medicine and all the difficult things that occur in the hospital, they have the shining of happy moments. That’s what people hold onto. ” 28. What do we know about the program Dogs On Call? A. Dogs might frighten the child patients. B. Dog visits must follow a fixed schedule. C.

Children’s moods are changeable. C. Children are too young to take their illness seriously. D Children’s spirits are lifted by the dogs’ companion. 30.

By bringing patients comfort and cheer. B. By changing people’s attitude to illness. C. By telling people the importance of play. D. By guiding parents to better comfort kids. D The human race shares this planet with millions of other species and forms of life. In recognizing that, it is always important to remember that our rapid rise of the urban civilization(城市文明) has unavoidably impacted the planet and life on it. In the long run, however, the civilization risks destroying well balanced ecosystems, which could potentially have serious results for humanity itself. As such,we must eventually find a balance between development and nature which can maintain the ecology, beauty and harmony(和谐) of the earth. The word “harmony” is an important concept in China. Chinese society and culture are built on the idea that relationships between people should be harmonious, which means avoiding conflict, highlighting a common good and balancing uncontrollable desires with the needs of society as a whole. However, this idea does not just apply to people, it also applies to our relationships with the world and nature. Never has this been more meaningful than the view of how China handles its rapid development, which has lastingly changed the country’s landscape and created new challenges regarding nature and the environment. Actually, over the past few years China has been working hard to protect biodiversity and has drawn “red lines” for ecological protection, established a national park system, and undertaken major projects for biodiversity protection. One example of China’s success in this area is in its reversing(逆转) of the decrease of its giant panda population to the point that it is no longer endangered. This effort included creating a giant panda national park in 2016 and doubling the number of births. Pandas have become “a global symbol of conservation success”—something in which China has played a key part. Likewise, China is also taking its efforts overseas. It recently announced a $232 million fund to promote biodiversity protection in developing countries. The effort is a part of its “community of shared future for mankind”, meaning that we share one world, one planet and one future, and so we human beings must work together. Now it is the time to act. 32. Which potential risk along with the urban civilization is mentioned? A Loss of the natural scenery. B. Breaking the ecosystem balance. C. The disappearance of all species. D. Ruining our human health. 33. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The word “harmony” refers to good interpersonal relationship. B. Human’s uncontrolled desires aren’t connected with harmony. C. Keeping in harmony makes a difference to China’s development. D. Balancing development and nature isn’t complicated as imagined. 34. What does the author want to tell us by the example of pandas? A. China has completed the task of protecting biodiversity. B. China has made some achievements of protecting biodiversity. C. The population of giant panda is gradually decreasing recently. D. Pandas have become the most successful representative of China。 35. Which of the following can best describe China’s role in protecting biodiversity? A. Fundamental. B. Unique. C. Indirect. D. Mysterious. 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余的选项。 The age range between about 13 and 19 is an important time in an individual’s life.____36____While you are a teenager, many exciting opportunities for success are given to you.

For many months, I had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knew my father could well afford it. I told my father what I wanted was the sports car. As Graduation Day approached, I waited for signs that my father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of my graduation, my father called me into his private study. He told me how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told me how much he loved me. He handed me a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, I opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible (圣经), with my name carved in gold. Angrily, I raised my voice to my father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” I then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. I felt depressed and couldn't accept the fact that my father did not fulfill my expectation. Many years passed and I was very successful in business. I had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing my father was very old, I thought perhaps I should go to see him. I had not seen him since that Graduation Day. Before I could make the arrangements, I received a call from one of my relatives telling me that my father had passed away, and left all of his possessions to me. I needed to come home immediately and deal with them. 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。 Stepping into my father’s study, I was lost in deep sorrow（悲伤）and guilt. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finishing reading the Bible, a car key dropped from the back of it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Medicine we ordered has arrived.
