It’s also often thought of as a place to avoid—folks are taught to be careful of or even avoid South Baltimore. “People think South Baltimore is a place filled with danger. It’s not. It’s just we’re surrounded by dangerous things,” says Taysia, 17. Taysia is part of a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood: air pollution and climate change. Lots of trucks with their noise pass through the neighborhood. South Baltimore is also home to a junkyard where they crush (压碎)cars, an old landfill, chemical plants, and mountains of coal. These are not the communities anyone wants. The residents of South Baltimore are breathing polluted air today. Coal releases a black dust that’s small enough to get into people’s lungs. It can cause disease and death if you’re breathing it day after day. The mountains of coal are the focus of a growing opposition movement called Free Your Voice, led by South Baltimore teenagers. The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent (对手): the massive transportation company CSX, which transports more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore annually. CSX makes billions of dollars a year. The teens went door to door, warning their neighbors about the dangers of the coal transportation. Not everyone was on board at first. “We were talking to people and that’s just like, ‘You’re a kid! Like this is not gonna change, it’s been happening forever.’” Taysia says. Meanwhile, the students spent the summer using sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust was from coal and to pinpoint which parts of the neighborhood were most affected. The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX needs to operate, or at least require the company to enclose all the coal, or at the very least put water onto all of it so there’s less dust blowing around. And the state is considering all of those requests. 4. How did people describe South Baltimore according to Taysia? A. Wealthy. B. Dangerous. C. Peaceful. D. Inclusive. 5. What is the main focus of the opposition movement called Free Your Voice? A. The junkyard. B. The old landfill. C. The chemical plants. D. The coal transportation. 6. Why did some people in the neighborhood initially doubt the students’ efforts? A. They believed the pollution was harmless. B. They trusted CSX’s environmental practices. C. They had no awareness of the pollution and climate change. D. They thought the students were too young to make a change. 7. What method did the students use to gather evidence of coal-related pollution? A. Conducting surveys. B. Distributing leaflets. C. Using sticky paper for dust samples. D. Organizing protests. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。由一群青少年创办的Free Your Voice组织，致力于改善南巴尔的摩当地由煤炭带来的空气污染，尤其是运输煤炭的污染大户CSX运输公司。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“People think South Baltimore is a place filled with danger. It’s not. It’s just we’re surrounded by dangerous things,(人们认为南巴尔的摩是个充满危险的地方。它不是。只是我们周围都是危险的东西)”可知，人们描述南巴尔的摩的是个充满危险的地方。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent (对手): the massive transportation company CSX, which transports more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore annually.(Free Your Voice的青少年们正在挑战一个强大的对手：大型运输公司CSX，该公司每年通过南巴尔的摩运输超过800万吨煤炭。)”可知，煤炭运输是Free Your Voice运动的主要焦点。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“We were talking to people and that’s just like, ‘You’re a kid! Like this is not gonna change, it’s been happening forever.’(我们和人们交谈时，他们就像在说，‘你还是个孩子!就像这不会改变一样，它一直在发生。’)”可知，社区里的一些人最初怀疑学生们的努力是因为他们认为学生们太年轻，不能做出改变。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Meanwhile, the students spent the summer using sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust was from coal and to pinpoint which parts of the neighborhood were most affected.(与此同时，学生们整个夏天都在用粘性纸收集周围的灰尘样本，以证明这些灰尘来自煤炭，并确定社区的哪些部分受到的影响最大。)”可知，学生们使用粘纸进行粉尘取样的方法收集与煤有关的污染的证据。故选C项。 C More than 170,000 people in California are unhoused. Even as the state has poured resources into fighting against the problem, the number of people without homes has ticked upward in recent years. On the surface, the state has one key advantage for people without a reliable roof over their heads: relatively consistent and livable weather. So one of my first thoughts when I heard news of a horricane attacking Los Angeles was just “What will happen to the city’s homeless population?” City agencies quickly took action. As it became clear that the Los Angeles region could experience an extreme downpour and subsequent flooding, outreach teams fanned out across the river bank and dam areas across the city that have become home to a significant unhoused population, offering support to move them into shelters and motels (汽车旅馆). Despite that, it’s obvious that the effects of climate change will hit the most vulnerable (脆弱的) hardest. We see this globally as extreme weather events hit countries that have contributed the least to the problem. The most notable connection between climate change and the US housing crisis is the threat extreme weather poses to unhoused people. More unhoused people are affected as climate change drives increasingly unpredictable weather. People without homes know how to respond to expected seasonal events. But events like a near-hurricane in Los Angeles or a wildfire in ‘Maui can catch populations with limited access to information off guard. Another link worth considering is the way in which climate change creates more homelessness and further stresses on housing systems. Hurricane Katrina, for example, displaced 800, 000 people. Four years later, 12,000 people remained without shelter. Housing has been — and will continue to be — a key issue in Maui too as it recovers from the wildfire that killed more than 100 people. Maui has already had a housing crisis, the result of a high cost of living driven in large part by the tourism industry. And, now, many more are left looking for places to stay. Ashley Kelly, the chief operating officer at Hawaii’s Family Life Center, said: “Finding housing for any new clients is just not possible right now.” 8. What contributes to the increase of the unhoused population in California? A. Its mild weather. B. Its inclusive local culture. C. Its limited basic facilities. D Its relaxed state policies. 9. What did outreach teams do in response to the hurricane in Los Angeles? A. They built dams to prevent flooding. B. They moved homeless people to safe places. C. They sought low-cost housing from city agencies. D. They surrounded the river bank to keep people away. 10. Which word can best describe Maui’s housing circumstances now according to Ashley Kelly? A. Mysterious. B. Exceptional. C. Changeable. D. Difficult. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Ways of Americans relocating disaster-affected populations. B. The significance of timely weather updates for the homeless. C. The link between climate change and the housing crisis in the US. D. Approaches of homeless Americans to dealing with natural disasters. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍气候变化与美国住房危机之间联系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“More than 170,000 people in California are unhoused. Even as the state has poured resources into fighting against the problem, the number of people without homes has ticked upward in recent years. On the surface, the state has one key advantage for people without a reliable roof over their heads: relatively consistent and livable weather. (加利福尼亚州有超过17万人无家可归。尽管国家投入了大量资源来解决这个问题，但近年来无家可归的人数仍在上升。从表面上看，该州对没有可靠屋顶的人来说有一个关键优势：相对稳定和宜居的天气。)”可知，相对稳定和宜居的天气是导致加利福尼亚无家可归人员增加的主要原因。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As it became clear that the Los Angeles region could experience an extreme downpour and subsequent flooding, outreach teams fanned out across the river bank and dam areas across the city that have become home to a significant unhoused population, offering support to move them into shelters and motels (汽车旅馆). (很明显，洛杉矶地区可能会遭遇极端的倾盆大雨和随后的洪水，外展小组分散在该市的河岸和大坝地区，这些地区已经成为大量无家可归人口的家园，为将他们转移到避难所和汽车旅馆提供支持。)”可知，外展小组把大量无家可归的人转移到避难所和汽车旅馆等安全的地方。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ashley Kelly, the chief operating officer at Hawaii’s Family Life Center, said: “Finding housing for any new clients is just not possible right now.” (夏威夷家庭生活中心的首席运营官阿什利·凯利说：“现在不可能为任何新客户找到住房。”)”可知，在Ashley Kelly看来，毛伊岛现在的住房状况是很艰难的。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“More than 170,000 people in California are unhoused. Even as the state has poured resources into fighting against the problem, the number of people without homes has ticked upward in recent years. On the surface, the state has one key advantage for people without a reliable roof over their heads: relatively consistent and livable weather. So one of my first thoughts when I heard news of a horricane attacking Los Angeles was just “What will happen to the city’s homeless population?” (加利福尼亚州有超过17万人无家可归。尽管国家投入了大量资源来解决这个问题，但近年来无家可归的人数仍在上升。从表面上看，该州对没有可靠屋顶的人来说有一个关键优势：相对稳定和宜居的天气。因此，当我听到洛杉矶发生恐怖袭击的消息时，我的第一个想法就是“这个城市的无家可归者会怎么办？”)”，第三段“Despite that, it’s obvious that the effects of climate change will hit the most vulnerable (脆弱的) hardest. (尽管如此，很明显，气候变化的影响将对最脆弱的群体造成最严重的打击。)”，第四段“The most notable connection between climate change and the US housing crisis is the threat extreme weather poses to unhoused people. (气候变化与美国住房危机之间最显著的联系是极端天气对无家可归者的威胁。)”和第五段“Another link worth considering is the way in which climate change creates more homelessness and further stresses on housing systems. (另一个值得考虑的联系是气候变化造成更多无家可归者和住房系统进一步压力的方式。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍气候变化与美国住房危机之间的联系。故选C。 D Siesta is a Spanish word referring to a nap or rest break usually after lunch. The word “siesta” comes from the Latin base “sexta“, which means sixth and refers to the sixth hour, or “sexta hora”, of daylight. By definition, a siesta takes place six hours after dawn, if the sun rises at 7 am, the “sexta hora” would take place just after noon. However, most people do not time their siesta so literally. Traditionally, a siesta takes place after lunch in the mid afternoon. A small Spanish town called Ador, which still practices a daily siesta, closes all businesses between 2 pm and 5 pm each day. Historically, Spanish companies that built a two-hour break into the workday schedule made the working day end around 8 pm, a practice that continues among many Spanish workers today. Although most people connect the siesta with Spain, its actual birthplace is Italy. Similar midday nap breaks are common around Mediterranean(地中海)and in many Latin American countries, where the midday is often hot. Before air conditioning was invented, the siesta offered a much-needed break from the hottest hours of the day. In recent years, former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy introduced a plan to end the siesta, which would allow many workers to end their workdays earlier, making Spain’s standard work schedule at the same level with its European neighbors. Although not a widespread practice, some countries outside of the Mediterranean area currently encourage midday napping. For example, parts of Japan have provided nap pods for midday breaks, and falling asleep at work is viewed as a positive sign that a person is working hard. In the US, some sleep researchers are trying to spread the concept of a power nap, which would allow people to briefly(短暂地)sleep while they are at work. 12. Why are businesses closed between 2 pm and 5 pm in the town of Ador? A. It is the hottest time of the day. B. It goes with its European neighbors. C. Local people have a daily siesta. D. It is a positive sign of working hard. 13. What can we infer from the practice of siesta around the Mediterranean countries? A. The culture of siesta started from Spain. B. The custom comes from the need of daily life. C. Air-conditioners are a must in hot areas. D. Nap breaks are popular around the world. 14. Why did Spain intend to end the siesta practice? A. To have a standard European work schedule. B. There is no need to have a midday break now. C. Spain is not one of the Mediterranean countries. D. To stop workers from working too long. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. The advantages of midday napping B. The popularity of siesta in Spain C. The reasons to end siestas D. A brief history of siesta 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了午睡的起源，发展以及好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句话“Traditionally, a siesta takes place after lunch in the mid afternoon. A small Spanish town called Ador, which still practices a daily siesta, closes all businesses between 2 pm and 5 pm each day.(传统上，午睡是在中午午饭后进行的。一个名叫阿多尔的西班牙小镇，每天下午2点到5点之间，所有的生意都关门)”可知，阿尔多小镇的商业在下午2点到5点之间关闭营业是因为当地人们需要午休。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话“Before air conditioning was invented, the siesta offered a much-needed break from the hottest hours of the day.(在空调发明之前，午睡为人们提供了一天中最热的时候急需的休息时间)”可推知，地中海国家午睡的习俗是源于日常的 需要。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In recent years, former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy introduced a plan to end the siesta, which would allow many workers to end their workdays earlier, making Spain’s standard work schedule at the same level with its European neighbors.(近年来，西班牙前首相马里亚诺·拉霍伊提出了一项结束午睡的计划，这将允许许多工人提前结束工作日，使西班牙的标准工作日程与欧洲邻国处于同一水平)”可知， 西班牙打算结束午睡是为了使西班牙的标准工作日程与欧洲邻国处于同一水平。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了午睡的起源，发展以及好处。所以“午睡简史”适合作文章的标题。故选D。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共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选项。 In our fast-speed lives, celebrations are far from just about having fun. ____16____.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武汉市常青联合体2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语试卷 考试时间：2025年4月22日 试卷满分：1 50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．What is the woman looking for?

Using another student’s essay structure D. Forgetting to list after-school activities B South Baltimore is surrounded by water, highways, and train tracks. It’s also often thought of as a place to avoid—folks are taught to be careful of or even avoid South Baltimore. “People think South Baltimore is a place filled with danger. It’s not. It’s just we’re surrounded by dangerous things,” says Taysia, 17. Taysia is part of a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood: air pollution and climate change. Lots of trucks with their noise pass through the neighborhood. South Baltimore is also home to a junkyard where they crush (压碎)cars, an old landfill, chemical plants, and mountains of coal. These are not the communities anyone wants. The residents of South Baltimore are breathing polluted air today. Coal releases a black dust that’s small enough to get into people’s lungs. It can cause disease and death if you’re breathing it day after day. The mountains of coal are the focus of a growing opposition movement called Free Your Voice, led by South Baltimore teenagers. The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent (对手): the massive transportation company CSX which transports more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore annually. CSX makes billions of dollars a year. The teens went door to door, warning their neighbors about the dangers of the coal transportation. Not everyone was on board at first. “We were talking to people and that’s just like, ‘You’re a kid! Like this is not gonna change, it’s been happening forever.’” Taysia says. Meanwhile, the students spent the summer using sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust was from coal and to pinpoint which parts of the neighborhood were most affected. The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX needs to operate, or at least require the company to enclose all the coal, or at the very least put water onto all of it so there’s less dust blowing around. And the state is considering all of those requests. 4. How did people describe South Baltimore according to Taysia? A. Wealthy. B. Dangerous. C. Peaceful. D. Inclusive. 5. What is the main focus of the opposition movement called Free Your Voice? A. The junkyard. B. The old landfill. C. The chemical plants. D. The coal transportation. 6. Why did some people in the neighborhood initially doubt the students’ efforts? A. They believed the pollution was harmless. B. They trusted CSX’s environmental practices. C. They had no awareness of the pollution and climate change. D. They thought the students were too young to make a change. 7 What method did the students use to gather evidence of coal-related pollution? A. Conducting surveys. B. Distributing leaflets. C. Using sticky paper for dust samples. D. Organizing protests. C More than 170,000 people in California are unhoused. Even as the state has poured resources into fighting against the problem, the number of people without homes has ticked upward in recent years. On the surface, the state has one key advantage for people without a reliable roof over their heads: relatively consistent and livable weather. So one of my first thoughts when I heard news of a horricane attacking Los Angeles was just “What will happen to the city’s homeless population?” City agencies quickly took action. As it became clear that the Los Angeles region could experience an extreme downpour and subsequent flooding, outreach teams fanned out across the river bank and dam areas across the city that have become home to a significant unhoused population, offering support to move them into shelters and motels (汽车旅馆). Despite that, it’s obvious that the effects of climate change will hit the most vulnerable (脆弱的) hardest. We see this globally as extreme weather events hit countries that have contributed the least to the problem. The most notable connection between climate change and the US housing crisis is the threat extreme weather poses to unhoused people. More unhoused people are affected as climate change drives increasingly unpredictable weather. People without homes know how to respond to expected seasonal events. But events like a near-hurricane in Los Angeles or a wildfire in ‘Maui can catch populations with limited access to information off guard. Another link worth considering is the way in which climate change creates more homelessness and further stresses on housing systems. Hurricane Katrina, for example, displaced 800, 000 people. Four years later, 12,000 people remained without shelter. Housing has been — and will continue to be — a key issue in Maui too as it recovers from the wildfire that killed more than 100 people. Maui has already had a housing crisis, the result of a high cost of living driven in large part by the tourism industry. And, now, many more are left looking for places to stay. Ashley Kelly, the chief operating officer at Hawaii’s Family Life Center, said: “Finding housing for any new clients is just not possible right now.” 8. What contributes to the increase of the unhoused population in California? A. Its mild weather. B. Its inclusive local culture. C. Its limited basic facilities. D. Its relaxed state policies. 9. What did outreach teams do in response to the hurricane in Los Angeles? A. They built dams to prevent flooding. B. They moved homeless people to safe places. C. They sought low-cost housing from city agencies. D They surrounded the river bank to keep people away. 10. Which word can best describe Maui’s housing circumstances now according to Ashley Kelly? A. Mysterious. B. Exceptional. C. Changeable. D. Difficult. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Ways of Americans relocating disaster-affected populations. B. The significance of timely weather updates for the homeless. C. The link between climate change and the housing crisis in the US. D. Approaches of homeless Americans to dealing with natural disasters. D Siesta is a Spanish word referring to a nap or rest break usually after lunch. The word “siesta” comes from the Latin base “sexta“, which means sixth and refers to the sixth hour, or “sexta hora”, of daylight. By definition a siesta takes place six hours after dawn, if the sun rises at 7 am, the “sexta hora” would take place just after noon. However, most people do not time their siesta so literally. Traditionally, a siesta takes place after lunch in the mid afternoon. A small Spanish town called Ador, which still practices a daily siesta, closes all businesses between 2 pm and 5 pm each day. Historically, Spanish companies that built a two-hour break into the workday schedule made the working day end around 8 pm, a practice that continues among many Spanish workers today. Although most people connect the siesta with Spain, its actual birthplace is Italy. Similar midday nap breaks are common around Mediterranean(地中海)and in many Latin American countries, where the midday is often hot. Before air conditioning was invented, the siesta offered a much-needed break from the hottest hours of the day. In recent years, former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy introduced a plan to end the siesta, which would allow many workers to end their workdays earlier, making Spain’s standard work schedule at the same level with its European neighbors. Although not a widespread practice, some countries outside of the Mediterranean area currently encourage midday napping. For example, parts of Japan have provided nap pods for midday breaks, and falling asleep at work is viewed as a positive sign that a person is working hard. In the US, some sleep researchers are trying to spread the concept of a power nap, which would allow people to briefly(短暂地)sleep while they are at work. 12. Why are businesses closed between 2 pm and 5 pm in the town of Ador? A. It is the hottest time of the day. B. It goes with its European neighbors. C. Local people have a daily siesta. D. It is a positive sign of working hard. 13. What can we infer from the practice of siesta around the Mediterranean countries? A. The culture of siesta started from Spain. B.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
