Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers, according to a study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations. From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren’t getting enough exercise. “In terms of physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries,” Guthold told Reuters Health. “Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity.” The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends — aside from time in school or time spent doing homework — were considered as sedentary. The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn’t get enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting enough exercise. While the study didn’t look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations, Guthold guessed that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs. She said schools can help children become more active by having physical education classes and educating students about the importance of exercise. 4. What does the underlined word “sedentary” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Addicted. B. Flexible. C. Inactive. D. Unhealthy. 5. What can we know from the study? A. Boys from Uruguay were the most active. B. Most girls from India got enough exercise. C. Children in Europe get more physical activity. D. Boys are more active than girls in every country. 6. How does the writer present the findings of the study? A. By using quotations and taking examples. B. By listing figures and making comparisons. C. By asking questions and providing answers. D. By presenting facts and drawing conclusions. 7. Which of the following factors probably lead to children’s lack of physical activity? A. Computers and potatoes. B. Computers and urbanization. C. Urbanization and physical education. D. Physical education and homework. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章报道了一个关于年轻人不喜欢运动的研究，研究表明全球将近三分之一的青少年都不喜欢运动。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。上文“The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.(研究人员将足够的体育活动定义为每周至少五天，在体育课之外至少锻炼一小时)”说明足够的体育锻炼是体育课外每周至少5天锻炼一小时，因此推断划线句句意：每天花三个小时以上看电视、玩电脑游戏或与朋友聊天的孩子——除了上学的时间或做作业的时间——被认为是久坐不动的。因此推断划线词与C项“不活跃的”意思相近，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent.(乌拉圭的活跃男孩比例最高，为42%，赞比亚最低，为8%)”可知，根据研究，来自乌拉圭的男孩是最活跃的。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.(这项发表在《儿科学杂志》上的研究调查了来自非洲、北美、南美、亚洲、欧洲和中东的72845名13到15岁的学童)”和第五段的“Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary.(缅甸儿童久坐时间最少，13%的男孩和8%的女孩属于久坐类型)”和第六段“Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting enough exercise.(除赞比亚外，每个国家的女孩都不如男孩活跃。乌拉圭的活跃男孩比例最高，为42%，赞比亚最低，为8%。来自印度的女孩最活跃，37%的女孩达到了运动定义，而来自埃及的女孩最不活跃，只有4%的女孩得到了足够的锻炼。)”可知，作者是通过列数字和作比较呈现研究发现的。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends — aside from time in school or time spent doing homework — were considered as sedentary.(每天花三个小时以上看电视、玩电脑游戏或与朋友聊天的孩子——除了上学的时间或做作业的时间——被认为是久坐不动的)”和最后一段的“While the study didn’t look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations, Guthold guessed that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs.(虽然这项研究没有研究各国缺乏体育锻炼背后的原因，但古特尔德猜测，城市化和能够使用汽车和电视可能是一个因素)”可知，青少年不喜欢运动可能是因为电脑，都市化，汽车，电视的普及。故选B。 C As more and more species near extinction, scientists have been collecting samples from animals, plants and other creatures and storing them in biobanks across the globe. But climate change, environmental disasters and wars threaten these modern Noah’s arks. Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out-of-this-world solution: building one of these vaults (库) on the moon. A biobank in a permanently shadowed region at the moon’s south pole could be far more stable than those on Earth. This part of the moon usually remains around -196° Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells long-term, marine biologist Mary Hagedorn and colleagues report in BioScience. Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below-zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017, melting (融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan. A different team has proposed building a lunar ark in lava (熔岩) tubes that run beneath the moon’s surface. But that design requires a solar-powered cooling system; any loss of power and the samples would be destroyed. In the moon’s forever-frozen shadowed regions, a lunar vault wouldn’t need energy or constant human maintenance, Hagedorn’s team says. Given the shadowy south pole’s low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today” — fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning,” she says. The cells could be valuable for regenerating populations of threatened or extinct species and for building ecosystems in future human settlements on the moon or Mars. The proposal has its share of barriers. For instance, the moon’s permanently dark regions aren’t free from temperature swings, says lunar scientist Benjamin Greenhagen of the Johns Hopkins University. “They are still cold but perhaps not always cold enough for this project without some level of temperature management.” 8. Why is the moon an ideal place for the biobank? A. It’s not affected by wars. B. It’s not environmentally polluted. C. It has proper temperatures. D. It has rich resources for research. 9. What led to Hagedorn’s proposal of a lunar biobank? A. The solar-powered cooling system. B. The lava tubes on the moon’s surface. C. The problem facing the Norway Vault. D. The discovery of ice on the lunar pole. 10. What can scientists use fibroblasts to do? A. Form stem cells for cloning. B. Explore moon soil conditions. C. Help land humans on the moon. D. Improve the eco-system of the earth. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lunar Exploration: The Next Frontier for Cloning B. Relieving Climate Change: The Moon Biobank Project C. The Moon as a Backup: A New Solution for Seed Storage D. Building Biobanks on the Moon: A Proposal to Save Biodiversity 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述随着气候变化和人类活动对地球的威胁日益加剧，科学家们提议在月球上建立一个生物库，以保护地球上濒危物种。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This part of the moon usually remains around -196° Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells long-term(月球的这一部分通常保持在零下196摄氏度左右，非常适合长期储存大多数动物细胞)”可知，月球温度适宜，是建立生物库的理想之地，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below-zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017, melting (融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan.(Hagedorn和他的同事们从挪威的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库获得了灵感，该种子库利用北极零下的温度保存了来自世界各地的数百万颗种子。2017年，融化的冻土有可能淹没了种子库，这凸显了后备计划的必要性)”可知，挪威的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库面临的问题致使Hagedorn提出建立一个月球生物库，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Given the shadowy south pole’s low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today” — fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning,” she says.(Hagedorn说，鉴于南极阴暗地区的低温，那里的一个储藏室可以储存“我们今天拥有的最强大的细胞之一”——成纤维细胞。科学家们可以将这些动物细胞转化为干细胞，“然后这些干细胞可以用于克隆，”她说。)”可知，成纤维细胞可以转化为干细胞用于克隆，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out-of-this-world solution: building one of these vaults (库) on the moon.(现在，一组研究人员正在集思广益，想出一个天外飞行的解决方案：在月球上建造一个这样的储藏库)”可知，文章主要讲述随着气候变化和人类活动对地球的威胁日益加剧，科学家们提议在月球上建立一个生物库，以保护地球上濒危物种。D项“在月球上建立生物库：拯救生物多样性的建议”为最佳标题，故选D。 D Being taken off the endangered species list doesn't guarantee a carefree future for whales. Recent research estimates that the population of Pacific gray whales off North America's West Coast has dwindled by almost a quarter since 2016. Starting in 2019, alarming numbers of dead gray whales were spotted on beaches and floating offshore throughout their habitat, from Mexico to Alaska. The National Marine Fisheries Service defined it as an “Unusual Mortality Event”. UMEs are declared when a “significant die-off” occurs and when information is collected to clarify why it occurs. The Arctic has historically low levels of sea ice in recent years, upending the delicate ecosystem that sustains gray whales. Like other migrators, they don't feed on their winter breeding (繁殖) grounds or along their migration, and must gain weight during the summer to sustain themselves through the rest of the year. Observers using air photography noted the whales looked skinnier and arrived in Mexico in poor condition, which suggested they were not finding enough food during the summer. This die-off is alarmingly similar to the events of 20 years ago, when another UME resulted in a significant drop in the gray whale population. Although the cause was ultimately undetermined, it's thought that the population reached “carrying capacity”— it grew too large for the environment to support it. Although that idea has been suggested for this die-off as well, it's more likely blamed on the changing conditions of the Arctic. Gray whales, hunted almost to extinction by the mid-20th century, were one of the first to be protected from hunting. The Eastern North Pacific population rebounded without pressure from whaling and was taken off the Endangered Species List; the Western North Pacific population is still listed as endangered. This die-off is a reminder that “delisting” doesn't indicate a population's secure future. New threats arise, climate change upends habitats, and continued monitoring is needed in case a crash comes. 12 What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Increased. B. Bounced. C. Multiplied. D. Dropped. 13. What will gray whales usually do in winter? A. Consume few calories. B. Travel south to breed. C. March back to Alaska. D. Seek food in the Arctic. 14. What might be the main cause of the current UME? A. Serious illnesses. B. Sea pollution. C. Environmental changes. D. Limited carrying capacity. 15. What's the author's attitude to the “delisting”? A. Favorable. B. Concerned. C. Intolerant. D. Regretful. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是被从濒危物种名单上除名并不能保证鲸鱼的未来无忧无虑。最近的研究估计，自2016年以来，北美西海岸太平洋灰鲸的数量减少了近四分之一。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Starting in 2019, alarming numbers of dead gray whales were spotted on beaches and floating offshore throughout their habitat, from Mexico to Alaska.(从2019年开始，从墨西哥到阿拉斯加，人们在海滩上和海上发现了数量惊人的死灰鲸。)”可知，划线词所说的是“自2016年以来，北美西海岸太平洋灰鲸的数量减少了近四分之一”，因此划线词的意思是“减少”，即Dropped，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Like other migrators, they don't feed on their winter breeding (繁殖) grounds or along their migration, and must gain weight during the summer to sustain themselves through the rest of the year.(和其他迁徙者一样，它们不在冬季繁殖地或迁徙路线中进食，必须在夏季增加体重，以维持一年余下的时间。)”及“Observers using air photography noted the whales looked skinnier and arrived in Mexico in poor condition(使用空中摄影的观察人员注意到，这些鲸鱼看起来更瘦了，抵达墨西哥时身体状况很差)”可推断出，灰鲸在冬天通常会南下到墨西哥繁殖，即Travel south to breed，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Although that idea has been suggested for this die-off as well, it's more likely blamed on the changing conditions of the Arctic.(虽然这种观点也被认为是导致这种灭绝的原因，但它更有可能被归咎于北极环境的变化。)”可知，当前UME的主要原因是环境的变化。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“This die-off is a reminder that “delisting” doesn't indicate a population's secure future.(这次灭绝提醒人们，“除名”并不意味着一个种群的未来就安全了。)”可知，作者对“除名”的态度是担忧的，即Concerned，故选B。 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。 Writing a successful English speech can be a challenging task, but with the following tips, you can create a powerful and engaging speech. ____16____ The first step in crafting a convincing speech is to know who will be listening.

Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance. In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium (礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the own’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral (合唱的) room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为80-100词左右： 2. 续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。 Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door. Her heart pounded wildly as her eyes scanned the names, fearing the worst. Then, her gaze froze on her own name, boldly displayed among the chosen participants. Tears welled up, blurring her vision, as a wave of disbelief and joy swept over her. She’d been accepted! Overwhelmed, Emily clutched her chest, whispering a silent “thank you” to Mr. Butler. That day, she stepped into the auditorium not as an outsider, but as a valued member, ready to embrace her unique voice and let it soar, forever transforming her world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了天生有身体缺陷的艾米丽想参加学校每年举办的户外表演，却被音乐老师欧文斯夫人以身体形象不佳为由拒绝。新来的音乐老师巴特勒先生得知此事后鼓励她尝试，艾米丽在犹豫后接受了挑战。在完成试唱后，她忐忑不安地等待结果，内心充满不被接纳的恐惧与渴望被认可的期待。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“艾米丽匆忙赶到合唱室，焦急地瞥向门上的名单”可知，续写应围绕她查看名单时的心理活动展开，重点描写她发现入选时的情感爆发与内心转变。 2.续写线索：发现名字→情感冲击→感谢老师→身份转变→象征新生 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①查看名单：scan the names/search for her name ②席卷，扫过：sweep over/flood over ③身份转变：step into as.../transform from...to... 情绪类 ①不可置信：disbelief/stunned silence ②情感爆发：tears well up/choke with emotion 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her heart pounded wildly as her eyes scanned the names, fearing the worst.

B American children aren’t the only couch potatoes out there. Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers, according to a study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations. From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren’t getting enough exercise. “In terms of physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries,” Guthold told Reuters Health. “Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity.” The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends — aside from time in school or time spent doing homework — were considered as sedentary. The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn’t get enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting enough exercise. While the study didn’t look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations, Guthold guessed that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs.

C As more and more species near extinction, scientists have been collecting samples from animals, plants and other creatures and storing them in biobanks across the globe. But climate change, environmental disasters and wars threaten these modern Noah’s arks. Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out-of-this-world solution: building one of these vaults (库) on the moon. A biobank in a permanently shadowed region at the moon’s south pole could be far more stable than those on Earth. This part of the moon usually remains around -196° Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells long-term, marine biologist Mary Hagedorn and colleagues report in BioScience. Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below-zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017, melting (融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan. A different team has proposed building a lunar ark in lava (熔岩) tubes that run beneath the moon’s surface. But that design requires a solar-powered cooling system; any loss of power and the samples would be destroyed. In the moon’s forever-frozen shadowed regions, a lunar vault wouldn’t need energy or constant human maintenance, Hagedorn’s team says. Given the shadowy south pole’s low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today” — fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning,” she says. The cells could be valuable for regenerating populations of threatened or extinct species and for building ecosystems in future human settlements on the moon or Mars. The proposal has its share of barriers. For instance, the moon’s permanently dark regions aren’t free from temperature swings, says lunar scientist Benjamin Greenhagen of the Johns Hopkins University. “They are still cold but perhaps not always cold enough for this project without some level of temperature management.” 8. Why is the moon an ideal place for the biobank? A. It’s not affected by wars. B. It’s not environmentally polluted. C. It has proper temperatures. D. It has rich resources for research. 9. What led to Hagedorn’s proposal of a lunar biobank? A. The solar-powered cooling system. B. The lava tubes on the moon’s surface. C. The problem facing the Norway Vault. D. The discovery of ice on the lunar pole. 10. What can scientists use fibroblasts to do? A. Form stem cells for cloning. B. Explore moon soil conditions. C. Help land humans on the moon. D. Improve the eco-system of the earth. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lunar Exploration: The Next Frontier for Cloning B. Relieving Climate Change: The Moon Biobank Project C. The Moon as a Backup: A New Solution for Seed Storage D. Building Biobanks on the Moon: A Proposal to Save Biodiversity D Being taken off the endangered species list doesn't guarantee a carefree future for whales. Recent research estimates that the population of Pacific gray whales off North America's West Coast has dwindled by almost a quarter since 2016. Starting in 2019, alarming numbers of dead gray whales were spotted on beaches and floating offshore throughout their habitat, from Mexico to Alaska. The National Marine Fisheries Service defined it as an “Unusual Mortality Event”. UMEs are declared when a “significant die-off” occurs and when information is collected to clarify why it occurs. The Arctic has historically low levels of sea ice in recent years, upending the delicate ecosystem that sustains gray whales. Like other migrators, they don't feed on their winter breeding (繁殖) grounds or along their migration, and must gain weight during the summer to sustain themselves through the rest of the year. Observers using air photography noted the whales looked skinnier and arrived in Mexico in poor condition, which suggested they were not finding enough food during the summer. This die-off is alarmingly similar to the events of 20 years ago, when another UME resulted in a significant drop in the gray whale population. Although the cause was ultimately undetermined, it's thought that the population reached “carrying capacity”— it grew too large for the environment to support it. Although that idea has been suggested for this die-off as well, it's more likely blamed on the changing conditions of the Arctic. Gray whales, hunted almost to extinction by the mid-20th century, were one of the first to be protected from hunting. The Eastern North Pacific population rebounded without pressure from whaling and was taken off the Endangered Species List; the Western North Pacific population is still listed as endangered. This die-off is a reminder that “delisting” doesn't indicate a population's secure future. New threats arise, climate change upends habitats, and continued monitoring is needed in case a crash comes. 12. What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Increased. B. Bounced. C. Multiplied. D. Dropped. 13. What will gray whales usually do in winter? A. Consume few calories. B. Travel south to breed. C. March back to Alaska. D. Seek food in the Arctic. 14. What might be the main cause of the current UME? A. Serious illnesses. B. Sea pollution. C. Environmental changes. D. Limited carrying capacity. 15. What's the author's attitude to the “delisting”? A. Favorable. B. Concerned. C. Intolerant. D. Regretful. 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。 Writing a successful English speech can be a challenging task, but with the following tips, you can create a powerful and engaging speech. ____16____ The first step in crafting a convincing speech is to know who will be listening.

Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance. In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium (礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the own’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral (合唱的) room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为80-100词左右： 2. 续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。 Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
