It includes a particular column for parents to find online resources like how to choose a psychologist.(TeenHelp的伟大之处在于，它不仅适合青少年，也适合父母。它包括一个专门的专栏，供父母寻找在线资源，比如如何选择心理医生。)”和YoungMinds部分中“Please choose whether you are a parent, you work with young people, or you are a young person yourself.(请选择你是否为人父母，你与年轻人一起工作，或者你自己就是一个年轻人。)”以及ReachOut部分中“ReachOut offers something for everyone, whether you’re a young person looking for help or a parent.(ReachOut为每个人提供了一些东西，无论你是寻求帮助的年轻人还是父母。)”可知，这三个网站的共同之处在于它们都有一个家长专栏。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“So whether you’re in your youth or you want to help someone you love, these are some of the best mental health websites for young people.(所以，无论你是年轻人还是想帮助你爱的人，这些都是适合年轻人的最好的心理健康网站。)”可知，这篇文章就是介绍一些心理健康网站，写作目的为告知。故选B项。 B Growing up, Stephanie Laska never worked out, preferring music class to P. E. and enjoying sugary drinks and snacks. It wasn’t until her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50 pounds. But she hit a plateau and realized she needed to include moving. Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running, starting with just one side of a tennis court and eventually running her first mile in 2014. Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she ran to catch up with them on their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually marathon distance. In 2015, she ran her first marathon and won first place in her age group. “What motivated me was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought,” says Laska, who has lost a total of 140 pounds and kept it off for four years. “People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.” She emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes. Taking life one step at a time has not only improved Laska’s well-being but promoted relationships with her family and even brought on a promotion at work. When asked about the key to losing weight, Laska says, “Exercise. For me, it is not about running a marathon, but about those daily decisions to just go outside.” 4. Why did Laska intend to transform her lifestyle? A. To stay youthful. B. To lose some weight. C. To encourage kids. D. To enjoy music better. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 1? A. She reached her goal weight. B. She got in shape effortlessly. C. She stopped losing weight despite her efforts. D. She decided to give up on her fitness journey. 6. How did Laska’s daughter react when she saw her mother running? A She was angry. B. She was surprised. C. She was uninterested D. She was disappointed. 7. What lesson does Laska’s story mainly teach? A. Slow and steady wins the race. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Small beginnings lead to great ends. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Stephanie Laska小时候不爱运动且饮食习惯不健康，后来过于肥胖决定改变生活方式，接着描述她通过改变饮食、开始运动最终爱上跑步的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing up, Stephanie Laska never worked out, preferring music class to P. E. and enjoying sugary drinks and snacks. It wasn’t until her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50pounds.(从小到大，Stephanie Laska从来都不进行体育锻炼，比起体育课，她更喜欢音乐课，还喜欢喝含糖饮料和吃零食。直到她40多岁，体重达到约300磅时，她才决定改变自己的生活方式。一些简单的饮食改变，比如戒掉苏打水和限制吃甜点，帮助她减掉了50磅体重)”可知，她改变生活方式是为了减肥。故选B。 【5题详解】 句意猜测题。根据划线句子上文“Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50pounds.(一些简单的饮食改变，比如戒掉苏打水和限制吃甜点，帮助她减掉了50磅体重)”可知，饮食改变帮助她瘦了50磅体重。再根据下文“realized she needed to include moving(意识到自己需要增加运动)”可推测，她在通过饮食控制减肥后遇到了问题，需要通过增加运动来进一步改变。“hit a plateau”的常见意思是“达到停滞期，进入平台期”，在这里结合语境是指她虽然努力通过饮食控制减肥了，但体重不再下降了，即尽管她努力了，但减肥停滞了。选项C“She stopped losing weight despite her efforts.(尽管她努力了，但她停止了减重)”与此相符。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she ran to catch up with them on their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls.(Laska起初对她的新习惯守口如瓶。有一天，她和孩子们在公园，她跑着去追骑自行车的孩子们。“当我女儿看到我在跑步时，她脸上的表情就好像她看到了圣诞老人一样。”Laska回忆道)”可知，Laska回忆说她女儿看到她跑步时脸上的表情就好像看到了圣诞老人一样。由此可知，她女儿看到妈妈跑步的反应是惊讶的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Laska最初只是做出了一些小的改变，比如改变饮食，从简单的散步开始运动，后来逐渐增加运动量，从短距离跑步到参加马拉松比赛，并且取得了很好的成绩，还收获了诸多积极的改变。她自己也强调“People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.(人们常常会做出重大决定，但我只是做了一个小小的选择，去散散步)”，由此推知，小决定可以像滚雪球一样引发重大的改变。故选D。 C In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station. Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones. Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake. EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added. 8. Which of the following best describes the EDP project? A. It went unquestioned. B. It can be costly but eco-friendly. C. It has already expanded. D. It is separated from the power station. 9. What can be learned about floating solar projects? A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots. B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access. C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones. D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake. 10. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph? A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success. B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity. C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power. D. The floating solar technology has a promising future. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Floating Solar Ready to Shine B. Solar Power or Hydro Power C. The Dawn of Renewable Energy D. A Glimpse into Global Floating Solar Farms 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了葡萄牙阿尔克瓦镇附近的欧洲最大人工湖中的一个创新型浮动太阳能发电厂项目，该项目由领先的可再生能源公司EDP开发。文章阐述了该项目面临的挑战、具备的优势以及公司对其未来的规划和前景展望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. ( 尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度，但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”以及第二段中“engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. (工程师们在浮动平台上安装了大约12,000个光伏模块，这些平台由部分回收塑料和当地采购的软木材制成。)”可知，该项目成本较高，但是使用了部分回收塑料和当地的软木，是环保的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. (当它们位于现有的水电大坝上时，不需要任何额外的土地，并且可以连接到电网，而不需要像太阳能项目那样等待多年。)”可知，浮动太阳能项目不需要额外的土地，并且可以更快地接入电网，不需要像普通太阳能项目那样等待多年。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. (EDP将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石。Alqueva最初的5兆瓦容量可能看起来不大，但这只是一个开始。该公司正在计划第二阶段，到2025年将增加70兆瓦的产能。据领先的咨询公司伍德·麦肯齐称，到2031年，浮动太阳能技术将为全球提供高达6万兆瓦的可再生能源。)”可知，EDP 公司将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石，虽然目前规模较小，但有进一步的规划，并且咨询公司也认为到 2031 年浮动太阳能技术有很大的发展潜力，所以EDP公司会认为浮动太阳能技术有光明的未来。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. ( 在葡萄牙的阿尔基瓦镇附近，坐落着欧洲最大的人工湖，一个由领先的可再生能源公司EDP开发的创新型浮动太阳能发电厂就在这里。尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度，但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”可知，文章主要介绍了 EDP公司开发的浮动太阳能发电厂项目，包括其面临的挑战、优势以及未来的发展规划，强调了浮动太阳能技术的发展前景。A选项“Floating Solar Ready to Shine”（浮动太阳能即将大放异彩），既提到了浮动太阳能，又体现了其未来的发展前景，符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选A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。 In order to grow and be better than before , you must learn to be emotionally intelligent.

There are more than a dozen Chinese idioms ___42___ (use) the phrase “a thousand miles” in a figurative way. Here are two common ones that seem ___43___(express) a similar idea. The first one is “An ant’s hole may cause the collapse of a thousand-mile-long dam.” This saying comes from Han Feizi, one of the most important philosophical ___44___ (classic) in ancient China. It sounds quite similar to a ___45___ (know) quotation by American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin, ___46___ warned about frittering money away by saying, “Beware of little expenses—a small leak will sink a great ship.” The other Chinese idiom involving “a thousand miles” is a famous quotation from Lao Tzu, a top ancient Chinese philosopher, author of Daodejing, or the Tao Te Ching, and ___47___ (found) of Taoism, who lived during the later years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). The philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins ___48___ a single step.” It’s true that if one doesn’t take the first step, a journey ___49___ (remain) a dream forever. This may also apply to the journey of life, an ambition or an understanding. Both Chinese idioms indicate that something may seem like a small amount, ___50___ it adds up over time. In English, there are several expressions that echo this same point: “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of ____51____ (they),” and “Little and often fills the purse.” 【答案】42. using 43. to express 44. classics 45. known 46. who 47. founder 48. with##at 49. will remain 50. but 51. themselves 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两个与“千里”有关的成语。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国有十几个成语比喻地使用了“千里”这个短语。句中已有谓语动词are，所以空处用非谓语动词形式。idioms与use构成了逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填using。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这里有两个常见的表达了类似的概念。seem to do sth.是固定用法，表示“似乎做某事”。故填to express。 【44题详解】 考查名词单复数。句意：这句话出自中国古代最重要的哲学经典之一《韩非子》。classic意为“名著”, 是可数名词。one of the +形容词最高级+复数名词。故填classics。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这听起来很像美国政治家和发明家本杰明·富兰克林的一句名言，他警告人们不要浪费金钱，他说：“谨防小开销——小漏洞会沉大船。”修饰名词应用形容词，此处known是形容词，意为“知名的”，修饰名词quotation。 故填known。 【46题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这听起来很像美国政治家和发明家本杰明·富兰克林的一句名言，他警告人们不要浪费金钱，他说：“谨防小开销——小漏洞会沉大船。”空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Benjamin Franklin，指人，在定语从句中充当主语。因此，此处要用关系代词who 来引导这个非限定性定语从句。故填who。 【47题详解】 考查名词。句意：另一个与“千里”有关的成语是老子的名言。老子是中国古代著名哲学家，著有《道德经》，是道教的创始人，他生活在春秋末期(公元前770-476年)。根据句意可知，此处应该填found的名词形式 founder, 意为“创办者”，指老子，应用名词单数形式。 故填founder。 【48题详解】 考查介词。句意：哲人曾说：“千里之行，始于足下。” begin with/at... 表示“以……开始”，是固定短语。故填with/at。 【49题详解】 考查时态。句意：的确，如果一个人不迈出第一步，旅程将永远是一个梦想。在if引导的条件状语从句中，当从句部分的时态是一般现在时时，主句部分常用一般将来时。所以此处要填will remain。故填will remain。 【50题详解】 考查连词。句意：这两个中文成语都表明，有些东西可能看起来数量很少，但随着时间的推移会积累起来。前后句构成转折关系，所以此处用转折连词but。故填but。 【51题详解】 考查代词。句意：在英语中，有几个表达表达了同样的观点：“积少成多”和“小钱积成万”。代指复数名词pounds，且表示“照顾好自己”，所以用反身代词。故填themselves。 第四部分写作 (共两节 满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 52. 假定你是某国际中学的学生会主席李津，你校下周将举办一次主题为“关爱地球”(Caring for the Earth)的志愿活动。请你用英语写一则通知，鼓励同学们积极参加，内容包括： 1.活动的目的； 2.活动的安排（活动时间、提供三项可选活动以及报名参加的方式）； 3.表达期待。 注意：1.词数不少于100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Notice ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【答案】Notice To help improve the environment, our school is going to organise a voluntary activity on the theme of “Caring for the Earth” .

She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her. One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it. She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah. I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction. Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead. 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。 It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】作答示例 It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling. As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet. I pulled off and called. “Are you okay?” “Oh, yes!” Sue said, almost out of breath. The girl also nodded and kept moving. I had wanted to offer them a ride in, but the resolve in their eyes made me swallow back the words. I turned around and followed. Inch by inch, they were getting closer to the finish line. Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line. At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back. “I’ve been dreaming about this day for two years and I shall not be denied”. Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit anything easily without total success. At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently. It was not as if she had become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. She truly liked her newly discovered self. So did I. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述作者的妻子苏决定参加马拉松比赛，尽管她身体不好。作者陪着她训练，苏坚持了下来。到了比赛那天，突然下起大雨，气温降低，作者开始担心苏。等比赛线路上恢复交通后，作者沿路开去，在两公里后的拐弯处看到了两个跑步者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“那是苏和一个跑步的女孩在一起，正在挣扎”可知，下文可描写苏和那个女孩的状态，以及作者想让她们坐车而被拒绝，最终陪着她们一路到终点。 ②根据第二段首句“在终点线，女孩拥抱了苏，‘你让我相信我们能做到。’”可知，下文可描写年轻女孩对苏的感谢和感受，以及作者对妻子新态度的欣赏。 2. 续写线索：苏和一个女孩挣扎着跑——两人看起来很狼狈——拒绝上车——继续跑到终点——女孩拥抱苏——感激苏——女孩的感受——作者发现苏态度变化——欣赏她新的自我 3.词类激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach/draw near ②注意到：notice/take notice of/spot ③提供：offer/provide ④放弃：quit/give up 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②喜欢：like/appreciate 【点睛】[高分句型1]As I approached them.

It wasn’t until her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50 pounds. But she hit a plateau and realized she needed to include moving. Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running, starting with just one side of a tennis court and eventually running her first mile in 2014. Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she ran to catch up with them on their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually marathon distance. In 2015, she ran her first marathon and won first place in her age group. “What motivated me was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought,” says Laska, who has lost a total of 140 pounds and kept it off for four years. “People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.” She emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes. Taking life one step at a time has not only improved Laska’s well-being but promoted relationships with her family and even brought on a promotion at work. When asked about the key to losing weight, Laska says, “Exercise. For me, it is not about running a marathon, but about those daily decisions to just go outside.” 4.

C In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station. Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones. Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake. EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added. 8. Which of the following best describes the EDP project? A. It went unquestioned. B. It can be costly but eco-friendly. C. It has already expanded. D. It is separated from the power station. 9. What can be learned about floating solar projects? A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots. B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access. C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones. D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake. 10. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph? A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success. B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity. C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power. D. The floating solar technology has a promising future. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Floating Solar Ready to Shine B. Solar Power or Hydro Power C. The Dawn of Renewable Energy D.

She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her. One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it. She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah. I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction. Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead. 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。 It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
