We changed careers, circumstances, and addresses. In the spring of 2014, after Rich and Chris spent a weekend biking trails together in Virginia, Chris suggested the three of us plan a tour. I had worried some before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We might get tired and cranky (烦躁的). What if none of it was fun? I needn’t have worried. We have enough to talk about. We know each other better, now, than ever. We get tired and cranky. Yes, it’s fun. On the trail we talk about friends we have in common and friends we don’t, books, movies, and music. We talk about places we’ve lived or traveled, and other places we might tour. We talk about the things we can’t let go of; things we did, or failed to do; opportunities we missed, or took; choices, good and bad. Moving through a changing landscape, following the rivers or the coast, seems to open us to wider, if not deeper, thinking. Having no goal other than to reach our accommodation before dark presents an unanticipated opportunity to stretch our understanding of each other and ourselves. Unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be beneficial to reflection. Some places on the trails stay with me more than others. Encounters, too. Like the elderly retriever (寻回犬) on Prince Edward Island, waiting for us at the door of Shaw’s Hotel. It’s because, I think, the pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us longest and get richer over time. Among these are friendships that persist despite life’s weather, or because of it. As I write, Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is underway: In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and cavil (挑剔), we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails. 4. What was the author’s primary concern about the planned tour in 2014? A The cost of the weekend trip. B. The difficulty of the biking trails. C. The physical challenges on the trip. D. The potential of failing to enjoy the trip. 5. What is one of the benefits of traveling together without a specific goal? A. It increases physical strength. B. It encourages deeper thoughts. C. It improves communicating skills. D. It leads to discovering rare landscapes. 6. What does the author imply about unexpected pleasures? A. They fade quickly with time. B. They grow deeper over time. C. They depend on travel modes. D. They become less meaningful. 7. Why does the author mention Tour 3 in the last paragraph? A. To contrast with past experiences. B. To highlight an upcoming travel plan. C. To indicate a continuation of friendship. D. To emphasize unresolved disagreements. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者与两位朋友在多年后计划并完成自行车旅行的经历，以及旅行带来的友谊和反思。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had worried some before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We might get tired and cranky (烦躁的). What if none of it was fun?(在第一次参观之前，我有些担心。这么多年过去了，我们有多了解对方？我们的共同点还和以前一样多吗？我们有足够的话题可聊吗？我们可能会感到疲倦和暴躁。如果一切都不有趣呢？)”可知，关于2014年计划中的旅行，作者最关心的是无法享受这次旅行的可能性。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Having no goal other than to reach our accommodation before dark presents an unanticipated opportunity to stretch our understanding of each other and ourselves. Unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be beneficial to reflection.(除了在天黑前到达住处之外，没有其他目标，这为我们提供了一个意想不到的机会，可以扩大我们对彼此和对自己的了解。在朋友的陪伴下，在大自然中悠闲的日子有利于反思)”可知，没有明确目标的一起旅行的好处是促进更深层次的思考。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s because, I think, the pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us longest and get richer over time.(我认为，这是因为我们没有预料到的快乐会陪伴我们最久，而且随着时间的推移会变得更丰富)”可知，意想不到的快乐会随着时间的推移而加深。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Already, Tour 3 is underway: In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and cavil (挑剔), we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails.(Tour 3已经开始了：在我们的留言中，我们互相开玩笑，测试我们的台词。我们计划，我们不同意，我们吹毛求疵，我们表达热情，我们开始对话，知道他们会继续前进)”可知，作者在最后一段提到Tour 3是为了表示友谊的延续。故选C。 C Jordan Williams, a public high school student, is a member of Deanwood Radio Broadcast Youth Journalism Program. Jordan attended a press conference at The Boy’s and Girl’s Club to interview retired American basketball star Magic Johnson. Standing with the professional are reporters and Jordan asked the famous athlete why he wanted to visit a youth club in Washington. Magic answered that he wanted to make a difference. And he meant it. He offered Jordan a full scholarship on the spot. Salih Williams, the director of the media program, established the Deanwood program to address what he describes as a “language barrier” between local media and teenagers in this city. “I knew the value of developing young voices. From the beginning, it was not just to develop communication skills but also to involve them in news,” he said. The program is committed to teaching students about doing research, communication, and interviewing skills as well as how to engage with news media. The students complete 30 to 40 interviews a year. Williams says these skills will help the students whether they decide to stay in journalism or go into a different field. Ayonlah Carter is a graduate of the program. “It allows us to express ourselves or just voice our opinions. And in a bigger sense, this is a group with black and brown kids. So, it’s nice to be in a space without discrimination. We’re making a difference. And I feel that 15 years from now we’re going to see a lot more black journalists,” she said. Jordan adds that connections are critical in succeeding and growing. “There are dozens of people there to listen to us and our questions. Whatever we need, they’re there to help. I think that’s what makes the program so special.” Jordan says he enjoys hearing success stories from people who share a similar background. He hasn’t even started college, but he already has his sights on being a role model someday, like those he has learned from. 8. Why did Magic Johnson visit the youth club in Washington? A. To motivate young students. B. To meet professional reporters. C. To select young talented athletes. D. To participate in a basketball game. 9. What is the main purpose of the Deanwood program according to Williams? A. To provide scholarships for promising young students. B. To develop teenagers’ ability to host press conferences. C. To advance the ties between local media and teenagers. D. To train students to become professional news reporters. 10. What does Ayonlah Carter think of the program? A. It focuses on developing communication skills. B. It guarantees college admissions for participants. C. It offers a number of job opportunities to graduates. D. It creates a space for equality and freedom of speech. 11. What does Jordan want to emphasize from his own experience? A. The effectiveness of the program. B. The possibility of being connected. C. The need for academic excellence. D. The value of independent learning. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新闻项目，致力于促进当地媒体与青少年的联系。介绍了项目的开展和青少年对此的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Standing with the professional are reporters and Jordan asked the famous athlete why he wanted to visit a youth club in Washington. Magic answered that he wanted to make a difference. And he meant it. He offered Jordan a full scholarship on the spot.(站在这位职业运动员身边的是记者，乔丹问这位著名运动员为什么要参观华盛顿的一家青年俱乐部。Magic回答说，他想有所作为。他是认真的。他当场给乔丹提供了全额奖学金)”可知，Magic Johnson访问华盛顿的青年俱乐部是为了激励年轻学生。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Salih Williams, the director of the media program, established the Deanwood program to address what he describes as a “language barrier” between local media and teenagers in this city.(媒体项目主管萨利赫·威廉姆斯设立了迪恩伍德项目，以解决他所说的当地媒体和该市青少年之间的“语言障碍”)”可知，威廉姆斯认为迪恩伍德项目的主要目的是促进当地媒体与青少年的联系。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ayonlah Carter is a graduate of the program. “It allows us to express ourselves or just voice our opinions. And in a bigger sense, this is a group with black and brown kids. So, it’s nice to be in a space without discrimination. We’re making a difference. And I feel that 15 years from now we’re going to see a lot more black journalists,” she said.( Ayonlah Carter是该项目的毕业生。“它允许我们表达自己，或者只是表达我们的观点。从更大的意义上说，这是一个由黑人和棕色人种的孩子组成的群体。所以，在一个没有歧视的空间里是很好的。我们正在做出改变。我觉得15年后我们会看到更多的黑人记者，”她说道)”可知，Ayonlah Carter认为这个项目为平等和言论自由创造了空间。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are dozens of people there to listen to us and our questions. Whatever we need, they’re there to help.

If the humble Kindle isn’t good enough any more and you’re looking for the next big thing in the e-book reader space, you may want to check out the Sol Reader, an amazing device shaped like a pair of sunglasses. Slightly similar to a VR headset, the Sol Reader is a simple tool designed only as a hands-free e-reader. Weighing around 100 grams and shaped like a pair of black sunglasses, the Sol Reader was created for a more comfortable reading experience, like reading a book while lying down. But, before you ask no, you will not be able to turn pages with your eyes or the power of your mind. The Sol Reader features a pair of 1.3-inch side-lit e-ink displays, each capable of displaying 65,536 pixels (像素). The device also has a diopter (屈光度) adjustment built in, so people who wear glasses or contact lenses (隐形眼镜) can use it without wearing additional vision correction. One of the main advantages of the Sol Reader is that it can suppress all outside visual influences, allowing the reader to focus on the e-book. The pages of the Sol Reader are projected against a dark background and the reading experience is described by its producer as similar to looking at the pages of an actual book. To turn over the pages, users push buttons on a remote-like controller, so reading on this thing isn’t technically completely hands-free. The Sol Reader has a built-in battery that should provide about 30 hours of reading time on a single charge, which doesn’t seem like a lot compared to traditional e-book readers. The storage capability is limited to 64 MB, but the headset wirelessly connects to a mobile iOs or Android app that allows DRM-free EPUB files to be copied over, so you don’t have to store all your e-books on it. 12. What is the Sol Reader designed to do? A. To help readers lie down to read. B. To prevent readers’ eyes tiredness. C. To offer convenient e-book reading. D. To allow total hands-free reading. 13. What is one feature of the Sol Reader? A. It can correct readers’ vision. B. It can turn pages with one’s eyes. C. It is cheap but difficult to operate. D. It is light and comfortable to wear. 14. What does the underlined word “suppress” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Contribute to. B. Block out. C. Withdraw from. D. Allow for. 15. What does the author want to stress about the Sol Reader in the last paragraph? A. Its extended battery life B. Its large storage capacity. C. Its hands-free reading feature. D. Its wireless connectivity to apps. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了Sol Reader这款新型电子阅读器的特点、功能、使用方式以及与其他电子阅读器的区别。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Slightly similar to a VR headset, the Sol Reader is a simple tool designed only as a hands-free e-reader.(Sol Reader有点类似于VR头显，它是一个简单的工具，仅被设计为免提电子阅读器)”可知，Sol Reader的设计目的是提供方便的电子书阅读。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Weighing around 100 grams and shaped like a pair of black sunglasses, the Sol Reader was created for a more comfortable reading experience, like reading a book while lying down.(Sol Reader重约100克，形状像一副黑色太阳镜，它的设计目的是为了提供更舒适的阅读体验，就像躺着看书一样)”可知，Sol Reader的一个特点是穿着轻便舒适。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“allowing the reader to focus on the e-book(让读者专注于电子书)”可知，Sol阅读器的主要优点之一是让读者专注于电子书，而要做到这点，应是遮挡了所有外部视觉影响，推知suppress意为“遮挡”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Sol Reader has a built-in battery that should provide about 30 hours of reading time on a single charge, which doesn’t seem like a lot compared to traditional e-book readers. The storage capability is limited to 64 MB, but the headset wirelessly connects to a mobile iOs or Android app that allows DRM-free EPUB files to be copied over, so you don’t have to store all your e-books on it.(Sol Reader内置电池，充一次电可以提供大约30小时的阅读时间，与传统的电子书阅读器相比，这似乎并不多。存储容量限制为64MB，但耳机可以无线连接到移动iOs或Android应用程序，允许复制DRM-free EPUB文件，这样你就不必把所有的电子书都存储在上面了)”可知，本段主要介绍了Sol Reader的无线连接应用程序。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。 Taking responsibility for oneself and one’s actions is a critical skill for teenagers to learn.

Ever since she was a little girl, she loved capturing (捕捉) moments, freezing time with her camera, and telling stories through images. Her talent was undeniable; she had a unique eye for detail and an ability to capture raw emotions in her photos. The way she played with natural light and found beauty in ordinary corners had become her distinctive style. Her work was admired by many, and she had even won a few top awards. Yet, despite her success, there was one thing Mary couldn’t escape — her struggle with her body image. Mary had always been overweight, and her reflection in the mirror often made her feet disconnected from the confident, successful person others saw. And she couldn’t shake the feeling or discomfort when she saw herself in photos. She thought her body didn’t fit the typical standards of beauty. So, she hid behind her camera, comfortable in the role of the observer. One evening, at the opening of her latest exhibition, Mary found herself encircled by admirers. The gallery walls were lined with her works, each one telling a story and highlighting her artistry. Viewers moved from piece to piece, expressing their appreciation as they absorbed the emotions she had captured. Beside her award-winning photograph Daybreak Solitude, Mary responded to a visitor’s inquiry about her inspiration. As she spoke, she gestured with enthusiasm; her hands moved energetically to stress key details and her face lit up with passionate energy. At that moment, she forgot about her insecurities. She wasn’t thinking about how she looked; she was fully immersed (沉浸于) in her art and the stories her photographs told. Unbeknownst (不为……所知) to her, a young photography student named Emma stood quietly in the corner. Watching Mary speak with such passion, Emma saw something beautiful. Without hesitation, Emma lifted her instant camera and captured the moment. 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。 After the exhibition, Emma approached Mary and handed her the photo she had taken. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That photograph became a turning point for Mary. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: After the exhibition, Emma approached Mary and handed her the photo she had taken. Mary stared at the photo and froze. It captured her in the midst of her passionate explanation, her eyes shining with joy, her hands gesturing and her whole being radiating with love for her work. For the first time, she didn’t feel embarrassed about her weight or her face shape. Instead, she saw a woman completely in her element, sharing her art with the world. And she recognized beauty which was not defined by conventional standards but by the very qualities she always captured in others. Paragraph 2: That photograph became a turning point for Mary. Mary realized she had been applying different standards to herself than to her subjects. When she photographed others, she always focused on capturing their spirit and their genuine moments. Yet, she had denied herself the same kindness. Determined to change that, she began taking self-portraits as acts of celebration rather than criticism. Through this process, Mary discovered that true beauty goes beyond the physical appearance; it’s about embracing who you are, finding your own value and letting your passion shine through. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，玛丽热爱摄影且才华横溢，作品备受赞赏，但她一直因身材问题缺乏自信。在一次展览上，她热情介绍作品时沉浸于艺术，未察觉被学生艾玛拍下这美丽瞬间 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段句首内容“展览结束后，艾玛走到玛丽面前，递给她自己拍摄的照片。”可知，第一段可以描写玛丽看到照片后的反应，她看到照片中自己沉浸在讲解中的状态，第一次没有因身材和外貌感到尴尬，而是看到了一个完全投入、热爱工作的自己，意识到美不应被传统标准定义。 ②由第二段句首内容“这张照片成了玛丽的转折点。”可知，第二段可以描写玛丽从照片中获得的感悟，她意识到自己对待自己和拍摄对象采用了不同标准，决定做出改变，开始拍摄自画像，在这个过程中发现真正的美在于接纳自我、展现热情。 2.续写线索：艾玛递照片——玛丽看照片的反应——意识到美的新定义——照片成转折点——玛丽反思自我——决定拍摄自画像——发现真正的美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着看：stare at/gaze at/fix one’s eyes on ②捕捉：capture/catch/record ③意识到：realize/recognize/be aware of 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②善良：kindness/benevolence 【点睛】【高分句型1】Instead, she saw a woman completely in her element, sharing her art with the world.

B After graduating from high school, we kept in touch. But as we got older, years passed without our seeing each other. We changed careers, circumstances, and addresses. In the spring of 2014, after Rich and Chris spent a weekend biking trails together in Virginia, Chris suggested the three of us plan a tour. I had worried some before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We might get tired and cranky (烦躁的). What if none of it was fun? I needn’t have worried. We have enough to talk about. We know each other better, now, than ever. We get tired and cranky. Yes, it’s fun. On the trail we talk about friends we have in common and friends we don’t, books, movies, and music. We talk about places we’ve lived or traveled, and other places we might tour. We talk about the things we can’t let go of; things we did, or failed to do; opportunities we missed, or took; choices, good and bad. Moving through a changing landscape, following the rivers or the coast, seems to open us to wider, if not deeper, thinking. Having no goal other than to reach our accommodation before dark presents an unanticipated opportunity to stretch our understanding of each other and ourselves. Unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be beneficial to reflection. Some places on the trails stay with me more than others. Encounters, too. Like the elderly retriever (寻回犬) on Prince Edward Island, waiting for us at the door of Shaw’s Hotel. It’s because, I think, the pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us longest and get richer over time. Among these are friendships that persist despite life’s weather, or because of it. As I write, Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is underway: In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and cavil (挑剔), we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails. 4. What was the author’s primary concern about the planned tour in 2014? A. The cost of the weekend trip. B. The difficulty of the biking trails. C. The physical challenges on the trip. D. The potential of failing to enjoy the trip. 5. What is one of the benefits of traveling together without a specific goal? A. It increases physical strength. B. It encourages deeper thoughts. C. It improves communicating skills. D. It leads to discovering rare landscapes. 6. What does the author imply about unexpected pleasures? A. They fade quickly with time. B. They grow deeper over time. C. They depend on travel modes. D. They become less meaningful. 7. Why does the author mention Tour 3 in the last paragraph? A. To contrast with past experiences. B. To highlight an upcoming travel plan. C. To indicate a continuation of friendship. D. To emphasize unresolved disagreements. C Jordan Williams, a public high school student, is a member of Deanwood Radio Broadcast Youth Journalism Program. Jordan attended a press conference at The Boy’s and Girl’s Club to interview retired American basketball star Magic Johnson. Standing with the professional are reporters and Jordan asked the famous athlete why he wanted to visit a youth club in Washington. Magic answered that he wanted to make a difference. And he meant it. He offered Jordan a full scholarship on the spot. Salih Williams, the director of the media program, established the Deanwood program to address what he describes as a “language barrier” between local media and teenagers in this city. “I knew the value of developing young voices. From the beginning, it was not just to develop communication skills but also to involve them in news,” he said. The program is committed to teaching students about doing research, communication, and interviewing skills as well as how to engage with news media. The students complete 30 to 40 interviews a year. Williams says these skills will help the students whether they decide to stay in journalism or go into a different field. Ayonlah Carter is a graduate of the program. “It allows us to express ourselves or just voice our opinions. And in a bigger sense, this is a group with black and brown kids. So, it’s nice to be in a space without discrimination. We’re making a difference. And I feel that 15 years from now we’re going to see a lot more black journalists,” she said. Jordan adds that connections are critical in succeeding and growing. “There are dozens of people there to listen to us and our questions. Whatever we need, they’re there to help. I think that’s what makes the program so special.” Jordan says he enjoys hearing success stories from people who share a similar background. He hasn’t even started college, but he already has his sights on being a role model someday, like those he has learned from. 8. Why did Magic Johnson visit the youth club in Washington? A. To motivate young students. B. To meet professional reporters. C. To select young talented athletes. D. To participate in a basketball game. 9. What is the main purpose of the Deanwood program according to Williams? A. To provide scholarships for promising young students. B. To develop teenagers’ ability to host press conferences. C. To advance the ties between local media and teenagers. D. To train students to become professional news reporters. 10. What does Ayonlah Carter think of the program? A. It focuses on developing communication skills. B. It guarantees college admissions for participants. C. It offers a number of job opportunities to graduates. D. It creates a space for equality and freedom of speech. 11. What does Jordan want to emphasize from his own experience? A. The effectiveness of the program. B. The possibility of being connected. C. The need for academic excellence. D. The value of independent learning. D The Sol Reader is a new and creative e-book reader that you wear on your face, just like a pair of sunglasses. If the humble Kindle isn’t good enough any more and you’re looking for the next big thing in the e-book reader space, you may want to check out the Sol Reader, an amazing device shaped like a pair of sunglasses. Slightly similar to a VR headset, the Sol Reader is a simple tool designed only as a hands-free e-reader. Weighing around 100 grams and shaped like a pair of black sunglasses, the Sol Reader was created for a more comfortable reading experience, like reading a book while lying down. But, before you ask no, you will not be able to turn pages with your eyes or the power of your mind. The Sol Reader features a pair of 1.3-inch side-lit e-ink displays, each capable of displaying 65,536 pixels (像素). The device also has a diopter (屈光度) adjustment built in, so people who wear glasses or contact lenses (隐形眼镜) can use it without wearing additional vision correction. One of the main advantages of the Sol Reader is that it can suppress all outside visual influences, allowing the reader to focus on the e-book. The pages of the Sol Reader are projected against a dark background and the reading experience is described by its producer as similar to looking at the pages of an actual book. To turn over the pages, users push buttons on a remote-like controller, so reading on this thing isn’t technically completely hands-free. The Sol Reader has a built-in battery that should provide about 30 hours of reading time on a single charge, which doesn’t seem like a lot compared to traditional e-book readers. The storage capability is limited to 64 MB, but the headset wirelessly connects to a mobile iOs or Android app that allows DRM-free EPUB files to be copied over, so you don’t have to store all your e-books on it. 12.

Ever since she was a little girl, she loved capturing (捕捉) moments, freezing time with her camera, and telling stories through images. Her talent was undeniable; she had a unique eye for detail and an ability to capture raw emotions in her photos. The way she played with natural light and found beauty in ordinary corners had become her distinctive style. Her work was admired by many, and she had even won a few top awards. Yet, despite her success, there was one thing Mary couldn’t escape — her struggle with her body image. Mary had always been overweight, and her reflection in the mirror often made her feet disconnected from the confident, successful person others saw. And she couldn’t shake the feeling or discomfort when she saw herself in photos. She thought her body didn’t fit the typical standards of beauty. So, she hid behind her camera, comfortable in the role of the observer. One evening, at the opening of her latest exhibition, Mary found herself encircled by admirers. The gallery walls were lined with her works, each one telling a story and highlighting her artistry. Viewers moved from piece to piece, expressing their appreciation as they absorbed the emotions she had captured. Beside her award-winning photograph Daybreak Solitude, Mary responded to a visitor’s inquiry about her inspiration. As she spoke, she gestured with enthusiasm; her hands moved energetically to stress key details and her face lit up with passionate energy. At that moment, she forgot about her insecurities. She wasn’t thinking about how she looked; she was fully immersed (沉浸于) in her art and the stories her photographs told. Unbeknownst (不为……所知) to her, a young photography student named Emma stood quietly in the corner. Watching Mary speak with such passion, Emma saw something beautiful. Without hesitation, Emma lifted her instant camera and captured the moment. 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。 After the exhibition, Emma approached Mary and handed her the photo she had taken. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That photograph became a turning point for Mary. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
