Cottage-garden style, which dates back to Victorian Britain, was originally about gardeners growing a mix of food and flowers on their own land using plants native to their area. Recently, Alexandra saw a modern cottage garden. Designer Tim Nolan created it around a cottage in southern Australia. He adopted a color plan that includes blue and grey with yellow and cream-yellow elements. There are plants like soft blue and grey nepeta (猫薄荷), which contrast with yellow and cream-yellow kniphofia (火炬花). According to gardening expert Stephen Ryan, when choosing plants for a shady border in the garden, one needs to consider the type of shade. Full shade means less than three hours of direct sun a day, partial shade is three to six hours, and there is also morning and afternoon shade. Stephen also mentioned the “70/30 rule” for gardening. Use 70 percent “safe” plants, which are familiar and easy-to-grow ones, and then experiment with the other 30 percent. If one focuses on the “safe” plants in a cottage-style garden, like the nepeta, lamb’s ears, and some salvias (鼠尾草) in Tim’s cottage, they can grow well in the UK. This principle can work for any type of gardening. In cottage-garden style, there are no strict rules. You can plant wherever you like, color-theme your garden or not, and still create a beautiful and charming garden. 1. Where did Alexandra Campbell get inspiration? A. From a Victorian-style British garden. B. From a modern cottage garden in southern Australia. C. From a traditional Australian farm garden. D. From a famous gardening expert. 2. What is the “70/30 rule” in gardening? A. Use 70 percent of native plants and 30 percent of non-native plants. B. Spend 70 percent of the time on easy-to-grow plants and 30 percent on difficult ones. C. Plant 70 percent of “safe” plants and experiment with 30 percent of other plants. D. Give 70 percent of the garden space to flowers and 30 percent to food plants. 3. According to Stephen Ryan, which of the following is related to the type of shade in a garden? A. The color of the plants. B. The height of the plants. C. The amount of direct sunlight. D. The time of watering the plants. 4. What can we know about cottage-garden style? A. It has strict rules on plant-choosing and layout. B. It only works in the UK. C. It is no longer popular today. D. It allows for flexibility in planting and design. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Alexandra Campbell从澳大利亚小屋花园获得灵感及相关园艺知识。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Alexandra Campbell gets inspiration from an Australian cottage garden. (Alexandra Campbell从一座澳大利亚乡村花园中获得灵感)”和第二段中“Recently, Alexandra saw a modern cottage garden. Designer Tim Nolan created it around a cottage in southern Australia.(最近，Alexandra见到了一座现代乡村花园。由设计师Tim Nolan在澳大利亚南部一座小屋周围打造)”可知，Alexandra Campbell的灵感来自澳大利亚南部的现代农舍花园。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Use 70 percent “safe” plants, which are familiar and easy-to-grow ones, and then experiment with the other 30 percent. (使用70%的“安全”植物，即常见且易于种植的植物，然后用另外30%进行试验)”可知，“70/30规则”指70%种“安全”植物，30%尝试其他植物。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Full shade means less than three hours of direct sun a day, partial shade is three to six hours, and there is also morning and afternoon shade. (全阴意味着每天不到三小时的直射阳光，半阴是三到六小时，还有上午和下午的阴凉)”可知，遮阴类型与直射阳光时长（即光照量）相关。故选C。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In cottage-garden style, there are no strict rules. You can plant wherever you like, color-theme your garden or not, and still create a beautiful and charming garden.(乡村花园风格没有严格规则：你可以随性种植，选择或不选择主题配色，仍能打造出美丽迷人的花园)”可知，乡村花园风格允许种植和设计上的灵活性。故选D。 B Writer Chloe Dalton discovered an unexpected teacher in nature when a damaged internet cable, chewed by a brown hare (野兔) in her countryside home, brought not annoyance but concern for the animal. This marked a significant shift for Dalton, whose book Raising Hare records her relationship with a hare she rescued in early 2021. She discovered a newborn hare near her house, unguarded by a nest or its mother. At first, she left it, hot wanting to disturb nature’s course. But when she returned hours later to find the hare still there, exposed to the rough weather and potential enemies, she nervously took it home, without any knowledge of hare care. She carefully fed it milk with a dropper. While there was plenty of rabbit advice online, hares were still mysterious. Refusing to domesticate the hare, Dalton let it move freely in her home, adjusting her busy life to match its habits. Its simple life reshaped her view: “If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,” she reflects, “what else might be waiting to be discovered?” Their life together ended the strong focus on her busy life and brought a greater awareness of the environment. In her book, Dalton gives historical context on the human-hare relationship and illustrates how horribly hares have often been treated. The brown hare population in Britain has declined 80 percent in the past century due to hunting and agriculture. The story provides a peaceful feeling with its delicate illustrations, but Dalton avoids idealizing nature, recognizing humans’ influence on animals. Animal encounter books are common, and the good ones act like peaceful countryside escapes. We already understand the basic outlines even without reading books with similar themes — Catherine Raven’s Fox & I and Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk. But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing (疗愈) often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature. 5. What prevented Dalton from immediately rescuing the hare? A. Respect for nature. B. Lack of feeding knowledge. C. Attack from its enemies. D. Advice from conservationists. 6. How did the hare influence Dalton’s daily life? A. By damaging her home facilities. B. By reminding her to focus on writing. C. By requiring her constant care. D. By inspiring her to live a slow-paced life. 7. What distinguishes Raising Hare from other animal stories? A. Its description of idealized nature. B. Its delicate illustrations of the hare. C. Its stimulation of readers’ tension. D. Its focus on the knowledge of the hare. 8. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A short story. C. A research paper. D. A book review. 【答案】5. A 6. D 7. C 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，介绍了作家Chloe Dalton的书籍《Raising Hare》，讲述了她与一只野兔的相处经历，以及这段经历如何改变了她的生活态度和对自然的认识。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“At first, she left it, not wanting to disturb nature’s course.(起初，她选择离开，不想干扰自然的进程。)”可知，Dalton最初没有立即救助野兔是因为她尊重自然的规律。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Its simple life reshaped her view: ‘If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,’ she reflects, ‘what else might be waiting to be discovered?’(野兔的简单生活重塑了她的观点：“如果我能从如此简单的事物中获得如此多的快乐，”她反思道，“还有什么等待我去发现？”)”可知，野兔让Dalton开始思考慢节奏生活的意义。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends?(但Dalton笔下的弱小动物在食物链中更低，为《Raising Hare》增添了更多悬念：这个小生物能否活到故事结束？)”可推知，这本书与其他动物故事的不同之处在于它激发了读者的紧张感。故选C。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing (疗愈) often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature.(但达尔顿笔下这只弱小的动物在食物链中的位置要低得多，这为《养兔记》增添了更多悬念：这个小生命能否活到故事结尾？达尔顿与这位“弱小同伴”的旅程提醒我们：疗愈往往并非来自掌控，而是源于顺应自然。)”对书籍的评论和与其他动物书籍的对比，可推知本文是对Raising Hare这本书的评述。故选D。 C In the 1930s, the first cake mixes (蛋糕粉) which only required water were invented and some people argued that this approach, the easiest, was the best. But others thought cooks would want to do more. The cake-mix argument may be out-dated, but its central question remains: Just how demanding do we want our technologies to be? Then what is a demanding technology? Two elements are included: One is that it is technology that takes time to master, and the other is that its operation includes some real risk of failure. Therefore, a piano is a demanding technology, as is a programming language or a machine system. However, so-called easy technologies usually require little concentrated effort and produce predictable results. Clearly, easy technologies have remade human society over the past century, but the problem is that, as every individual task becomes easier, we demand much more of both ourselves and others. As a result, we are faced with a larger number of small tasks(writing hundreds of e-mails)instead of fewer difficult tasks (writing several long letters). And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理). Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets eliminated. Everyone knows that it is easier to drive to the top of a mountain than to hike; the views may be the same, but the feeling never is. Following the same idea, we develop into beings that can do more. However, we can’t get the same satisfaction as we expect. I don’t mean that everything needs to be done the hard way. But we must take challenges seriously or we’ll face the danger of becoming creatures whose lives are less satisfying. 9. What makes demanding technologies different from easy technologies? A. It requires much effort. B. It takes little attention. C. It achieves intended effect. D. It deals with machines. 10. What is a possible result of easy technologies? A. More time for concentration. B. Writing much longer letters. C. Lower expectations on others. D. Doing various tasks at a time. 11. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 4 mean? A Noticed. B. Stressed. C. Improved. D. Removed. 12. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. The Argument Over Cake Mixes B. What Is A Demanding Technology? C. The Problem With Easy Technologies D. What Challenges Do Humans Face? 【答案】9. A 10. D 11. D 12. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了要求高的技术包含的要素，以及简单技术面临的问题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then what is a demanding technology? Two elements are included: One is that it is technology that takes time to master, and the other is that its operation includes some real risk of failure.(那么什么是要求高的技术呢？其中包括两个因素：一是技术需要时间来掌握，另一个是它的操作包含一些真正的失败风险)”以及第三段“Therefore, a piano is a demanding technology, as is a programming language or a machine system.(因此，钢琴是一项要求很高的技术，就像编程语言或机器系统一样)”可知，要求高的技术与简单的技术不同，是由于要求高的技术需要很多的努力。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理).(而且，当每个任务都很容易时，几乎所有的人都在多任务处理)”可知，简单技术可能带来的结果是一次做多个不同的任务。故选D。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理).(而且，当每个任务都很容易时，几乎所有的人都在多任务处理)”以及划线词上文“Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets”中but表示转折，说明简单的技术本应使我们能够专注于重要的事情，但有时重要的事情却被移除了。推测划线词意思是“移除”，与Removed意义相近。故选D。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Clearly, easy technologies have remade human society over the past century, but the problem is that, as every individual task becomes easier, we demand much more of both ourselves and others. As a result, we are faced with a larger number of small tasks(writing hundreds of e-mails)instead of fewer difficult tasks (writing several long letters). And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理). (显然，在过去一个世纪里，简单的技术重塑了人类社会，但问题是，随着每一项个人任务变得更容易，我们对自己和他人的要求都要高得多。因此，我们面临的是更多的小任务（写数百封电子邮件），而不是更少的困难任务（写几封长信）。而且，当每一项任务都很容易的时候，几乎所有的人都在多任务处理)”、第五段“Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets eliminated. (简单的技术本可以让我们专注于重要的事情，但有时重要的事情会被移除)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了要求高的技术包含的要素，以及简单技术面临的问题，C选项“简单技术的问题”最符合作为文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.

I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I got on school bus with my friends. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell down onto the floor. Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet, dusted (擦灰) off his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment (尴尬). The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading (拉拉队) team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and looked away. When we had finished eating, we went out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe (脚趾) touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans broken, in the middle of my backside (臀部). I froze (呆住). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then I saw Ryan running towards me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then I saw Ryan running towards me. Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily. I thought this would be his chance to return the favor. I lowered my head, my face burning with embarrassment. But unexpectedly Ryan didn't laugh. Instead, he approached me from behind, took off his jacket swiftly and offered it to me, signaling to me to cover my torn jeans. Without any delay, I did it. Struggling against my tears, l did want to express my gratitude to him but courage failed me. In total silence, I left the courtyard. That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. I thanked him, giving the jacket back to him and telling him the cheer went great. Then gathering my courage, I sincerely apologized to him for my misconduct on the bus and thanked him again for his helping me out of the desperate situation. Ryan, with a broad smile, patted me on the shoulder and told me to forget about that, joking he fell like that a lot. Hearing that, I was amused and convinced that he was someone I would be friends with. Honestly, Monday was a great day indeed! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者经历的一个充满波折但最终收获友谊的周一。早上作者乘校车上学途中目睹了同学Ryan绊倒的尴尬一幕。午餐后，作者与拉拉队队员相聚，并在餐后练习足球赛加油口号。然而，在练习过程中，作者的牛仔裤意外撕裂，引来同学们的嘲笑，让作者感到尴尬和无助。Ryan主动上前，脱下自己的夹克给作者遮挡裂开的牛仔裤，展现了宽容与友善。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①.由第一段的首句内容“然后我看到Ryan朝我跑来。”可知，第一段可描写Ryan对作者意外情况的善意反应。作者原本以为Ryan会借此机会“回报”自己之前的嘲笑，感到尴尬和羞愧。然而，Ryan并没有嘲笑作者，反而迅速脱下自己的夹克给作者遮挡裂开的牛仔裤，展现出意想不到的宽容和友善。作者虽然内心感激，却因害羞而难以表达，最终默默离开了操场。 ②.由第二段的首句内容“那天晚上，在足球比赛的加油口号结束后，我找到了Ryan。”可知，第二段可描写作者对Ryan行为的感激与道歉。作者找到Ryan，归还夹克并表达感谢，同时鼓起勇气为之前在校车上的不当行为向Ryan道歉。Ryan则以宽容的态度接受了作者的道歉，并用幽默的话语化解了尴尬，这让作者更加确信Ryan是一个值得交往的朋友。最后，作者总结说，尽管周一经历了波折，但总体上仍然是一个美好的一天。 2.续写线索： Ryan跑向我——以为他会报复——Ryan给我夹克遮破掉的裤子——我感激却不敢表达，默默离开——赛后我找到Ryan还夹克并道谢——我道歉并再次感谢，总结周一很棒 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①.跑：run/jog/sprint ②.低下：lower/drop/bend ③.离开：leave/depart/exit 情绪类 ①.疯狂的：crazily/insanely/madly ②.尴尬的：embarrassed/ashamed/humiliated 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily.

Cottage-garden style, which dates back to Victorian Britain, was originally about gardeners growing a mix of food and flowers on their own land using plants native to their area. Recently, Alexandra saw a modern cottage garden. Designer Tim Nolan created it around a cottage in southern Australia. He adopted a color plan that includes blue and grey with yellow and cream-yellow elements. There are plants like soft blue and grey nepeta (猫薄荷), which contrast with yellow and cream-yellow kniphofia (火炬花). According to gardening expert Stephen Ryan, when choosing plants for a shady border in the garden, one needs to consider the type of shade. Full shade means less than three hours of direct sun a day, partial shade is three to six hours, and there is also morning and afternoon shade. Stephen also mentioned the “70/30 rule” for gardening. Use 70 percent “safe” plants, which are familiar and easy-to-grow ones, and then experiment with the other 30 percent. If one focuses on the “safe” plants in a cottage-style garden, like the nepeta, lamb’s ears, and some salvias (鼠尾草) in Tim’s cottage, they can grow well in the UK. This principle can work for any type of gardening. In cottage-garden style, there are no strict rules. You can plant wherever you like, color-theme your garden or not, and still create a beautiful and charming garden. 1. Where did Alexandra Campbell get inspiration? A. From a Victorian-style British garden. B From a modern cottage garden in southern Australia. C. From a traditional Australian farm garden. D. From a famous gardening expert. 2. What is the “70/30 rule” in gardening? A. Use 70 percent of native plants and 30 percent of non-native plants. B. Spend 70 percent of the time on easy-to-grow plants and 30 percent on difficult ones. C. Plant 70 percent of “safe” plants and experiment with 30 percent of other plants. D. Give 70 percent of the garden space to flowers and 30 percent to food plants. 3. According to Stephen Ryan, which of the following is related to the type of shade in a garden? A. The color of the plants. B. The height of the plants. C. The amount of direct sunlight. D. The time of watering the plants. 4. What can we know about cottage-garden style? A. It has strict rules on plant-choosing and layout. B. It only works in the UK. C. It is no longer popular today. D. It allows for flexibility in planting and design. B Writer Chloe Dalton discovered an unexpected teacher in nature when a damaged internet cable, chewed by a brown hare (野兔) in her countryside home, brought not annoyance but concern for the animal. This marked a significant shift for Dalton, whose book Raising Hare records her relationship with a hare she rescued in early 2021. She discovered a newborn hare near her house, unguarded by a nest or its mother. At first, she left it, hot wanting to disturb nature’s course. But when she returned hours later to find the hare still there, exposed to the rough weather and potential enemies, she nervously took it home, without any knowledge of hare care. She carefully fed it milk with a dropper. While there was plenty of rabbit advice online, hares were still mysterious. Refusing to domesticate the hare, Dalton let it move freely in her home, adjusting her busy life to match its habits. Its simple life reshaped her view: “If I could get this much pleasure from something so simple,” she reflects, “what else might be waiting to be discovered?” Their life together ended the strong focus on her busy life and brought a greater awareness of the environment. In her book, Dalton gives historical context on the human-hare relationship and illustrates how horribly hares have often been treated. The brown hare population in Britain has declined 80 percent in the past century due to hunting and agriculture. The story provides a peaceful feeling with its delicate illustrations, but Dalton avoids idealizing nature, recognizing humans’ influence on animals. Animal encounter books are common, and the good ones act like peaceful countryside escapes. We already understand the basic outlines even without reading books with similar themes — Catherine Raven’s Fox & I and Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk. But Dalton’s weak animal is much lower on the food chain, adding more suspense to Raising Hare: Will the small creature survive until the story ends? Dalton’s journey with her “weak companion” offers a reminder that healing (疗愈) often comes not from control, but from adjusting to nature. 5. What prevented Dalton from immediately rescuing the hare? A. Respect for nature. B. Lack of feeding knowledge. C. Attack from its enemies. D. Advice from conservationists. 6. How did the hare influence Dalton’s daily life? A. By damaging her home facilities. B. By reminding her to focus on writing. C. By requiring her constant care. D. By inspiring her to live a slow-paced life. 7. What distinguishes Raising Hare from other animal stories? A. Its description of idealized nature. B. Its delicate illustrations of the hare. C. Its stimulation of readers’ tension. D. Its focus on the knowledge of the hare. 8. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A short story. C. A research paper. D. A book review. C In the 1930s, the first cake mixes (蛋糕粉) which only required water were invented and some people argued that this approach, the easiest, was the best. But others thought cooks would want to do more. The cake-mix argument may be out-dated, but its central question remains: Just how demanding do we want our technologies to be? Then what is a demanding technology? Two elements are included: One is that it is technology that takes time to master, and the other is that its operation includes some real risk of failure. Therefore, a piano is a demanding technology, as is a programming language or a machine system. However, so-called easy technologies usually require little concentrated effort and produce predictable results. Clearly, easy technologies have remade human society over the past century, but the problem is that, as every individual task becomes easier, we demand much more of both ourselves and others. As a result, we are faced with a larger number of small tasks(writing hundreds of e-mails)instead of fewer difficult tasks (writing several long letters). And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理). Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets eliminated. Everyone knows that it is easier to drive to the top of a mountain than to hike; the views may be the same, but the feeling never is. Following the same idea, we develop into beings that can do more. However, we can’t get the same satisfaction as we expect. I don’t mean that everything needs to be done the hard way. But we must take challenges seriously, or we’ll face the danger of becoming creatures whose lives are less satisfying. 9. What makes demanding technologies different from easy technologies? A. It requires much effort. B. It takes little attention. C. It achieves intended effect. D. It deals with machines. 10. What is a possible result of easy technologies? A. More time for concentration. B. Writing much longer letters. C. Lower expectations on others. D. Doing various tasks at a time. 11. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Noticed. B. Stressed. C. Improved. D. Removed. 12. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. The Argument Over Cake Mixes B. What Is A Demanding Technology? C. The Problem With Easy Technologies D. What Challenges Do Humans Face? 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.

I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I got on school bus with my friends. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell down onto the floor. Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet dusted (擦灰) off his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment (尴尬). The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading (拉拉队) team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and looked away. When we had finished eating, we went out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe (脚趾) touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans broken, in the middle of my backside (臀部). I froze (呆住). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then I saw Ryan running towards me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
