Known by the Nazis as the “White Mouse”, Nancy Wake is Australia’s most celebrated World War II resistance fighter.
Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees.
As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection.
Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.
Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011.
Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.”
4. What might most people think of Nancy Wake on hearing her nickname?
A. She was a protective woman.
B. She was gentle and easily harmed.
C. She would like to tell the truth all the time.
D. She was not afraid of being involved in a war.
5. What did Nancy Wake do at the start of the war?
A. She got a full copy of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list.
B. She helped people get away from war areas.
C. She organised and led resistance fighters.
D. She left France for Spain for good.
6. What can be learned about Nancy Wake as a female soldier?
A. She fell victim to cruelty easily.
B. She died in a parachute accident.
C. She became a successful radio operator.
D. She got past German checkpoints successfully.
7. Which of the following is probably Nancy Wake’s belief ?
A. Women can fight on the front line.
B. Women can make a great difference at home.
C. Women should be trained to support the family.
D. Women shouldn’t put themselves in high-risk situations.

In recent years, air crashes have unfortunately continued to occur, drawing global attention. These tragic events have spurred the development of various technologies aimed at enhancing aviation safety, providing more accurate data for accident investigation, and improving pre-flight and in-flight safety monitoring.
One of the most crucial technologies in air crash investigation is the flight data recorder (FDR), often referred to as the “black box.” Despite its name, the FDR is typically painted bright orange to aid in recovery after a crash. It is designed to withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures, strong impacts, and water pressure. The FDR records a vast amount of data during a flight, such as the aircraft’s speed, altitude, heading, and the status of various systems. This data is invaluable for investigators to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to an air crash. For example, in the investigation of a recent air crash, the FDR data showed abnormal engine performance in the minutes before the accident, which became a key clue in determining the cause.
Another significant technological advancement is in weather monitoring systems. Adverse weather conditions, like severe storms, strong winds, and icing, are major factors contributing to air crashes. Modern weather monitoring technologies use a combination of satellites, ground-based radar, and onboard sensors. Satellites can detect large-scale weather patterns from space, providing early warnings of approaching storms. Ground-based radar systems can accurately measure the intensity and movement of precipitation, helping airlines make informed decisions about flight routes. Onboard sensors, on the other hand, can detect icing conditions on the aircraft’s surfaces in real-time. With this comprehensive weather monitoring system, pilots can avoid dangerous weather areas more effectively, reducing the risk of weather-related air crashes.
Moreover, the development of advanced materials for aircraft construction also plays a role in enhancing safety. New composite materials are not only lighter, which improves fuel efficiency, but also stronger and more resistant to damage. In the event of a bird strike or a small - scale structural failure, these advanced materials can better withstand the impact, preventing the situation from escalating into a more serious problem. For instance, an aircraft made with advanced composite materials was able to safely land after a bird strike on its wing, thanks to the material's high strength-to-weight ratio.
However, despite these technological advancements, there are still challenges. The complexity of modern aircraft systems means that integrating new technologies seamlessly can be difficult. Also, ensuring that all airlines around the world can afford and effectively implement these technologies remains a hurdle.
8. Why is the flight data recorder important in air crash investigation?
A. It can prevent air crashes from happening.
B. It records important data for reconstructing the accident process.
C. It is easy to find after an air crash.
D. It can repair the damaged aircraft systems.
9. How do modern weather monitoring systems help reduce air crash risks?
A. By changing the weather conditions.
B. By providing accurate weather information for pilots to avoid dangerous areas.
C. By making the aircraft more resistant to bad weather.
D. By controlling the aircraft's speed and altitude.
10. What is an advantage of advanced composite materials in aircraft construction?
A. They are heavier and more stable.
B. They are cheaper to produce.
C. They are stronger and more resistant to damage.
D. They can predict air crashes.
11. What challenges do the advancements in aviation safety technologies face?
A. The technologies are not effective enough.
B. It is difficult to integrate new technologies and ensure global implementation.
C. Airlines do not want to use these technologies.
D. The technologies are too simple to handle complex aircraft systems.

A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
12. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors?
A. The green of peacocks’ feathers.
B. The orange of bright rainbows.
C. The blue of butterfly wings.
D. The purple of ripe grapes.
13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful.
14. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint?
A. Traditional, healthy and cooling.
B. Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.
D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.
B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素,模仿自然界光反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩,同时具备不吸收热量的优点,可以让人们在日益变暖的环境下享受多彩,健康、清凉的生活。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially.(结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的,而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线,就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝,然而,其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments.(想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红,或者你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知,D选项的葡萄与文章中的樱桃及草相似,含有色素,是非结构色,故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.(我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此,我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色)”可知,使用此类涂料会污染自然环境,是有害的,划线单词的含义是“有害的”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back.(除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外,Chanda还发现,与颜料不同,结构涂料不吸收热量,而是将光反射回去)”和“This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.(这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽)”可知,新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色,无需吸收热量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色,而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此,选项C“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.(鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种新涂料的优点。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever.(佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的油漆)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.(我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更凉爽的环境)”可知,研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料,使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活,因此主旨是A选项“The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.(结构色涂料可以帮助人们生活得更凉爽、更健康。)”。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国电动汽车市场的蓬勃发展。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:据估计,有300多家中国公司在生产电动汽车,从低于5000美元的折扣产品到与美国和德国汽车制造商竞争的高端车型,不一而足。 本句已有谓语动词“are making”,此处应用非谓语动词。“more than 300 Chinese companies”与“range 之间是主动关系,用现在分词作后置定语,故填ranging。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:全国大约有500万个充电装置,未来还会有更多。空处修饰谓语动词,应用副词roughly“粗略地,大约”作状语,故填roughly。
【38题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:当其他电动汽车市场仍然严重依赖补贴和财政激励时,中国已经进入了一个新阶段:消费者在没有太多考虑国家支持的情况下,正在权衡电动汽车与燃油汽车的功能和价格。be dependent on/upon是固定短语,意为“依赖,依靠”,故填on/upon。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。介词without后需要名词作宾语,“consider”的名词形式是“consideration”,意为“考虑”,故填consideration。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意:中国花了十多年的时间,通过补贴、长期投资和基础设施支出,为其电动汽车市场开始自立奠定了基础。It takes sb. some time to do sth. 是固定句型,意为“花费某人多长时间做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式作主语。故填to lay。
【41题详解】
考查强调句。句意:在中国,蓬勃发展的不仅仅是汽车销售。“It’s not just the car sales...are thriving in China.”是强调句,强调句型为“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他部分”此处被强调部分是“the car sales”,指物,所以用 that。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:27岁的李先生是一家建筑公司的员工,他最近决定把自己的汽油动力轿车换成电动汽车。他说,经济激励因素并没有影响他选择电动汽车的决定。“27-year-old employee”是可数名词单数,这里表示“一名27岁的员工”,“27-year-old”发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:同上。设空处为谓语,根据后面的“did not weigh”可知,句子时态为一般过去时,故填said。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:在李先生生活和工作的中国西南部大城市成都,传统汽车在一周中的某些日子被限制上路,以帮助减少拥堵和污染。设空处为谓语,句子主语“traditional cars”与“restrict”之间是被动关系,且根据语境可知,描述的是现在的情况,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are + 过去分词”,主语“traditional cars” 是复数,be 动词用are,故填are restricted。
【45题详解】
考查序数词。句意:对于电动汽车来说,在公共停车场停车前两个小时是免费的。此处表示“前两个小时”,应用序数词,“one”的序数词是“first”,故填first。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was New Year’s Day. I made a resolution to find my stray (走失的) dog, Puppy-Rocky. In the morning, I could hear icy rain knocking the windows. I said a quick prayer for Puppy-Rocky. He was out there somewhere in the storm, and I could just feel it. Sure, it had been three months since he’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles (奇迹).
That fall, Puppy-Rocky, my sweet dog, had disappeared from my parents’ house in California. He had been staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in New York City. I was staying with friends until I signed my lease (租约) on a new place. Puppy-Rocky had gotten out of my parents’ house two days before I was set to fly back home to pick him up.
My mom and I spent that entire visit searching for him. Mom was the family’s resident “realist”, which meant she spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “He’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found him,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Mom always supported me, but this time she doubted. She could have done with a little more faith!
Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I believed I’d see my Puppy-Rocky again. His barks never faded away. He’d been homeless when I first met him, a naughty little dog that had survived all on his own. If any dog could do the impossible, it was my Puppy-Rocky. Even after I returned to New York City without him and the weeks stretched into months, deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited.
Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Puppy-Rocky’s carrier, loaded it into the car, and then asked my mom to drive me to the shelter for the homeless dogs, hoping he’d been found.
“Dave, you have to be realistic,” my mom said as we headed to the garage. “He’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find him.”
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。
“Don’t you believe in New Year miracles?” I asked.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I stepped into the last room of the shelter, a familiar bark came into my ears.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
“Don’t you believe in New Year miracles?” I asked. Rolling the eyes, Mom climbed into the driver’s seat, mumbling to herself, “There’s just no way. You’re not going to find him. Be realistic.” “Mom! It’s my Puppy-Rocky! Promise! I’m sure I will see him again!!!” I kept yelling on the way to the shelter. Upon arriving there, we walked through rows of cages from room to room. I carefully examined dogs of all colors, shapes and sizes. None! All our efforts were in vain. Hopeless as it might be, I went on searching, followed by my mom, who had been trying to prepare me for the worst.
When I stepped into the last room of the shelter, a familiar bark came into my ears. Following the sound, I spotted a little dog wagging the tail towards me. It was him? I double-checked it… Exactly, my Puppy-Rocky! It was bonier than ever before. Excited tears welling up, I immediately opened the cage door. He jumped into my arms as usual. I held him closely as Mom looked on, mouth wide open. It was indeed the season of miracle: three months after separation, we reunited. Puppy-Rocky’s return did let me, and especially my mom, firmly believe: we can do with more faith!

Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees.
As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立的) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection.
Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.
Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011.
Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.”
4. What might most people think of Nancy Wake on hearing her nickname?
A. She was a protective woman.
B. She was gentle and easily harmed.
C. She would like to tell the truth all the time.

In recent years, air crashes have unfortunately continued to occur, drawing global attention. These tragic events have spurred the development of various technologies aimed at enhancing aviation safety, providing more accurate data for accident investigation, and improving pre-flight and in-flight safety monitoring.
One of the most crucial technologies in air crash investigation is the flight data recorder (FDR), often referred to as the “black box.” Despite its name, the FDR is typically painted bright orange to aid in recovery after a crash. It is designed to withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures, strong impacts, and water pressure. The FDR records a vast amount of data during a flight, such as the aircraft’s speed, altitude, heading, and the status of various systems. This data is invaluable for investigators to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to an air crash. For example, in the investigation of a recent air crash, the FDR data showed abnormal engine performance in the minutes before the accident, which became a key clue in determining the cause.
Another significant technological advancement is in weather monitoring systems. Adverse weather conditions, like severe storms, strong winds, and icing, are major factors contributing to air crashes. Modern weather monitoring technologies use a combination of satellites, ground-based radar, and onboard sensors. Satellites can detect large-scale weather patterns from space, providing early warnings of approaching storms. Ground-based radar systems can accurately measure the intensity and movement of precipitation, helping airlines make informed decisions about flight routes. Onboard sensors, on the other hand, can detect icing conditions on the aircraft’s surfaces in real-time. With this comprehensive weather monitoring system, pilots can avoid dangerous weather areas more effectively, reducing the risk of weather-related air crashes.
Moreover, the development of advanced materials for aircraft construction also plays a role in enhancing safety. New composite materials are not only lighter, which improves fuel efficiency, but also stronger and more resistant to damage. In the event of a bird strike or a small - scale structural failure, these advanced materials can better withstand the impact, preventing the situation from escalating into a more serious problem. For instance, an aircraft made with advanced composite materials was able to safely land after a bird strike on its wing, thanks to the material's high strength-to-weight ratio.
However, despite these technological advancements, there are still challenges. The complexity of modern aircraft systems means that integrating new technologies seamlessly can be difficult. Also, ensuring that all airlines around the world can afford and effectively implement these technologies remains a hurdle.
8. Why is the flight data recorder important in air crash investigation?
A. It can prevent air crashes from happening.
B It records important data for reconstructing the accident process.
C. It is easy to find after an air crash.
D. It can repair the damaged aircraft systems.
9. How do modern weather monitoring systems help reduce air crash risks?
A. By changing the weather conditions.
B. By providing accurate weather information for pilots to avoid dangerous areas.
C. By making the aircraft more resistant to bad weather.
D. By controlling the aircraft's speed and altitude.
10. What is an advantage of advanced composite materials in aircraft construction?
A. They are heavier and more stable.
B. They are cheaper to produce.
C. They are stronger and more resistant to damage.
D. They can predict air crashes.
11. What challenges do the advancements in aviation safety technologies face?
A. The technologies are not effective enough.
B. It is difficult to integrate new technologies and ensure global implementation.
C. Airlines do not want to use these technologies.
D. The technologies are too simple to handle complex aircraft systems.
D
A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
12. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors?
A. The green of peacocks’ feathers.
B. The orange of bright rainbows.
C. The blue of butterfly wings.
D. The purple of ripe grapes.
13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful.
14. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint?
A. Traditional, healthy and cooling.
B. Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.
D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.
B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was New Year’s Day. I made a resolution to find my stray (走失的) dog, Puppy-Rocky. In the morning, I could hear icy rain knocking the windows. I said a quick prayer for Puppy-Rocky. He was out there somewhere in the storm, and I could just feel it. Sure, it had been three months since he’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles (奇迹).
That fall, Puppy-Rocky, my sweet dog, had disappeared from my parents’ house in California. He had been staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in New York City. I was staying with friends until I signed my lease (租约) on a new place. Puppy-Rocky had gotten out of my parents’ house two days before I was set to fly back home to pick him up.
My mom and I spent that entire visit searching for him. Mom was the family’s resident “realist” which meant she spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “He’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found him,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Mom always supported me, but this time she doubted. She could have done with a little more faith!
Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I believed I’d see my Puppy-Rocky again. His barks never faded away. He’d been homeless when I first met him, a naughty little dog that had survived all on his own. If any dog could do the impossible, it was my Puppy-Rocky. Even after I returned to New York City without him and the weeks stretched into months, deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited.
Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Puppy-Rocky’s carrier, loaded it into the car, and then asked my mom to drive me to the shelter for the homeless dogs, hoping he’d been found.
“Dave, you have to be realistic,” my mom said as we headed to the garage. “He’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find him.”
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。
“Don’t you believe in New Year miracles?” I asked.
