In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st.

During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise. Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year.

Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year. Other NewYear traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at NewYear.

People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne at midnight.(在西方国家，人们通常在12月31日午夜或1月1日庆祝新年。人们可能会去参加派对，有时会穿着正式的服装，还可能在午夜时分喝香槟。)”可知，在派对上喝香槟是西方新年庆祝的常见活动。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, the dolls are burned to show that the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh.(许多文化还会在新年伊始做一些特别的事情来摆脱厄运。例如，在厄瓜多尔，家家户户会用旧衣服做一个大娃娃，娃娃里面塞满旧报纸和鞭炮。午夜时分，人们会烧掉这些娃娃，以此象征过去一年的坏事已烟消云散，新的一年可以重新开始。)”可知，厄瓜多尔人焚烧娃娃是为了结束过去的不好的事情。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year.(西班牙一个流传甚广的求好运传统是在新年当天吃葡萄，一个人吃的葡萄越多，来年的好运就越多。)”和“In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck, but to get good luck for a whole year, you have to eat 365 of them! (在美国，有些人会吃黑眼豆求好运，但要想一整年都有好运，就得吃365颗才行！)”可知，西班牙的新年传统是新年吃葡萄，美国的传统是吃黑眼豆求好运。由此可知，西班牙和美国的新年传统的共同之处是都涉及特定的食物。故选C。 7．主旨大意题。文章第一段“Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways. and at different times on the calendar.(不同文化以不同的方式庆祝新年的开始。在日历上的不同时间。)”点明不同的文化以不同的方式、在日历上的不同时间庆祝新年的开始；文章随后分别介绍了西方国家、厄瓜多尔、西班牙、法国、美国等不同文化的新年庆祝方式（如派对、烧娃娃、吃特定食物等），整体围绕不同文化有独特的新年庆祝方式展开。故选B。 C The traditional Chinese therapy of cupping is about creating a vacuum by burning something inside a jar and quickly placing the jar on the selected skin area. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cupping helps draw out inner toxins (毒素) and promotes the flow of “qi” and blood, easing swelling and reducing pain. There is a saying in China: With acupuncture (针灸) and cupping, more than half of the illnesses are cured. Historical records on cupping can date back to the Qin dynasty, when it was called the horn therapy. It gradually developed in the Southern and Northern dynasties, becoming a Taoist medical practice and widely used in the courts of Imperial China. In the Sui dynasty and the Tang dynasty, the cupping method was improved, and bamboo jars replaced animal horns. In the Ming dynasty, cupping became a key treatment in TCM. The present name was coined in the Qing dynasty when the jar used began to be made of pottery. These days, many practitioners use cups made of thick glass or plastic, though bamboo and pottery cups are still used in some places. Glass cups are the preferred cups because they do not break as easily as pottery or deteriorate like bamboo, and they allow doctors to observe the skin and evaluate the effects of treatment. There are several methods of cupping, and one of them is “sustained cupping”. After applying the cup, leave it on for about 10 minutes for adults and 3 minutes for children, then remove it. This is the standard method for treating various common conditions. Another method, called movable cupping, combines cupping and scraping (刮). First, apply lubricant (润滑油) to the skin. Then, attach the cup and slide it along a chosen path until bruising occurs before removing it. The third method is called “quick cupping”. The cup is sucked onto the skin, immediately removed and then put back again. This procedure is repeated until the treated skin turns red. 8．According to the TCM theory, what is the main function of cupping? A．To create patterns on the selected skin area. B．To remove toxins and restore energy flow. C．To cure more than half of the illnesses. D．To test the heat resistance of different materials. 9．What can we infer about the development of cupping in Chinese history? A．It was only used by the royal family throughout history. B．It has always been a key treatment in Chinese history. C．The medical effects have changed significantly. D．The materials used for cups have evolved over time. 10．What does the underlined word “deteriorate” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Become damaged over time. B．Gain medical effectiveness. C．Change color permanently. D．Absorb toxins quickly. 11．Why does the author write this passage? A．To compare different traditional Chinese therapies. B．To explain why cupping is losing popularity today. C．To introduce the history and techniques of cupping therapy. D．To argue for the superiority of TCM over Western medicine. 【答案】8．B 9．D 10．A 11．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拔罐疗法的历史和技术。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段中“According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cupping helps draw out inner toxins (毒素) and promotes the flow of “qi” and blood, easing swelling and reducing pain.(根据中医理论，拔火罐有助于排出体内毒素，促进“气”和血液的流动，缓解肿胀和减轻疼痛。)”可知，根据中医理论，拔罐的主要作用是清除毒素并恢复气血流动。故选B项。 9．推理判断题。根据第二段“Historical records on cupping can date back to the Qin dynasty, when it was called the horn therapy. It gradually developed in the Southern and Northern dynasties, becoming a Taoist medical practice and widely used in the courts of Imperial China. In the Sui dynasty and the Tang dynasty, the cupping method was improved, and bamboo jars replaced animal horns. In the Ming dynasty, cupping became a key treatment in TCM. The present name was coined in the Qing dynasty when the jar used began to be made of pottery.(关于拔罐的历史记载可以追溯到秦朝，当时它被称为角疗法。它在南北朝时期逐渐发展，成为道教的一种医疗实践，并广泛应用于中国帝国的宫廷。隋唐时期，拔罐的方法得到了改进，用竹罐代替了兽角。在明代，拔罐成为中医的一种重要治疗方法。现在的名字是在清朝创造的，当时使用的罐子开始由陶器制成。)”和第三段中“These days, many practitioners use cups made of thick glass or plastic, though bamboo and pottery cups are still used in some places.(如今，许多从业者使用厚玻璃或塑料制成的杯子，尽管一些地方仍在使用竹制和陶制的杯子。)”可知，从中国历史上拔罐的发展来看，拔罐材料从秦朝的角疗法到隋唐的竹罐，再到清朝的陶罐，现代多用玻璃或塑料，我们可以推测出拔罐的材料随着时间的推移而演变。故选D项。 10．词句猜测题。划线词句前文“they do not break as easily as pottery(因为它们不像陶器那样容易破碎)”说明玻璃不易受损，结合竹子作为天然材料易老化，从而推知划线词句“or deteriorate like bamboo(也不像竹子那样容易deteriorate)”其中划线词为“变坏，损坏”的意思，与A项“随着时间的推移而受损”同义。故选A项。 11．推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“The traditional Chinese therapy of cupping is about creating a vacuum by burning something inside a jar and quickly placing the jar on the selected skin area.(传统的中国拔火罐疗法是通过在罐子里燃烧一些东西，然后迅速将罐子放在选定的皮肤区域来制造真空。)”可知，本文主要介绍了拔罐疗法的历史和技术，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍拔罐疗法的历史和技术。故选C项。 D At the Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou, volunteer Emma Chen fascinated by the unique black pottery collection, is passionately explaining to visitors that long before smartphones, the Liangzhu people were possibly “posting their moments” on pottery like people today do on WeChat.

She bridges centuries, engaging visitors by making the ancient feel familiar.

She appreciates the museum’s inclusiveness. It opens its arms, welcoming everyone regardless of their backgrounds. (对Emma来说，良渚博物馆是一个给她归属感的“大家庭”。她欣赏博物馆的inclusiveness。它张开双臂，欢迎每一个人，无论他们的背景如何)”可知，博物馆欢迎每一个人，无论人们的背景如何，由此可知，博物馆具备包容性，划线单词inclusiveness意思是“包容性，接纳”，与Acceptance意思相近。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据第四段“She plans to keep promoting Liangzhu culture to visitors and is studying museology and Chinese history at Zhejiang University.

(在激情的驱使下，Emma搬到了这里，致力于通过坚持和学术追求来搭建文化桥梁，表现出极大的决心)”可知，Emma未来在博物馆的工作计划是继续作为文化桥梁为大家服务。故选B。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Driven by passion, Emma relocated herself, dedicated to bridging cultures through persistence and academic pursuit, showing great determination. (在激情的驱使下，Emma搬到了这里，致力于通过坚持和学术追求来搭建文化桥梁，表现出极大的决心)”以及全文Emma的经历可知，Emma凭借对中国历史的热情，迁居中国，坚持做志愿者传播良渚文化，还在大学攻读相关专业，体现了“有志者事竟成”。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to Simplify Housework It can be frustrating when you feel like you spend more time cleaning, tidying up, and taking care of your house and belongings than actually enjoying them. 16 That said, with the following tips, you can simplify your housework and have a clean home without devoting all of your time to cleaning. Have less stuff. 17 You have to clean it, put it away, and search for it when needed. By reducing the number of belongings you have, you will decrease the number of items that require your attention. This also means less stuff to move to clean under and less stuff to clean around. Additionally, having less stuff contributes to a visually cleaner and tidier living space. 18 When each item has a fixed spot, it is easy to put things back where they belong. This significantly reduces the time spent searching for misplaced items. Keep up with cleaning regularly. When you don’t keep up with chores at regular times, it takes more time and effort to clean your house. 19 For example, if you give your bathroom counters a quick wipe every day or two, it’ll only take a minute or two each time. And mess won’t have a chance to really build up in the meantime. Embrace good enough. Everyone’s understanding of “good enough” may vary based on personal preferences. It’s advisable to decide what truly matters to you and what you are willing to let go of. Or what standards you are willing to relax to accept things as “good enough”. 20 A．Reset your house often. B．Have an easy-to-access place for everything. C．Everything you own requires some of your time. D．Otherwise, you will be too busy to clean your house. E．Dealing with a never-ending to-do list is exhausting. F．The goal is to complete essential household chores to a comfortable standard. G．That is simply because more mess, dirt, dust, etc. has had a chance to build up. 【答案】16．E 17．C 18．B 19．G 20．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何简化家务劳动。 16．根据上文“It can be frustrating when you feel like you spend more time cleaning, tidying up, and taking care of your house and belongings than actually enjoying them.(当你感觉自己花在打扫、整理以及照料房屋和物品上的时间比真正享受这些东西的时间还要多时，这会让人感到很沮丧)”以及下文“That said, with the following tips, you can simplify your housework and have a clean home without devoting all of your time to cleaning.(话虽如此，但通过以下这些小贴士，你就能简化家务流程，拥有一个干净整洁的家，而无需将所有时间都花在打扫上)”可知，上文提到“花太多时间做家务而无法享受生活”，下文引出“简化家务的方法”，本句承接上文的负面感受，自然过渡到下文的解决方案。故E选项“处理永无止境的待办事项清单会让人感到疲惫”符合语境，故选E。 17．根据上文“Have less stuff.(少些杂物)”以及下文“You have to clean it, put it away, and search for it when needed. By reducing the number of belongings you have, you will decrease the number of items that require your attention. This also means less stuff to move to clean under and less stuff to clean around. Additionally, having less stuff contributes to a visually cleaner and tidier living space.(你得对其进行清理、妥善存放，并在需要时查找它。通过减少你拥有的物品数量，你就能减少需要关注的物品数量。这意味着需要清理的空间会变小，周围也需要清洁的物品也会减少。此外，拥有更少的物品有助于让生活空间看起来更整洁、更干净)”可知，本段主题是“减少物品数量”，下文说明“物品需要清洁、收纳和寻找”，本句解释“少拥有物品”的原因，故C选项“否则，你将会忙得无暇打扫房子”符合语境，故选C。 18．根据下文“When each item has a fixed spot, it is easy to put things back where they belong. This significantly reduces the time spent searching for misplaced items.(当每个物品都有固定的放置位置时，就能很容易地将物品放回原位。这大大减少了寻找丢失物品所花费的时间)”可知，下文提到“每件物品有固定位置，便于放回原处，减少寻找时间”，本句是本段核心观点，概括了“物品归位”的原则。故B选项“将所有物品放置在易于取用的地方”符合语境，故选B。 19．根据上文“When you don’t keep up with chores at regular times, it takes more time and effort to clean your house.(如果不定期完成家务活，那么打扫房间就会耗费更多的时间和精力)”以及下文“For example, if you give your bathroom counters a quick wipe every day or two, it’ll only take a minute or two each time.(例如，如果你每隔一两天就对浴室的台面进行快速擦拭，每次只需花费一两分钟即可)”可知，本段强调“定期清洁”，上文提到“不按时做家务会花费更多时间”，本句解释原因，与下文“每天快速擦拭浴室台面可避免污渍堆积”的例子呼应。故G选项“这仅仅是因为更多的杂乱、污垢、灰尘等有足够的时间得以堆积”符合语境，故选G。 20．根据上文“Embrace good enough. Everyone’s understanding of “good enough” may vary based on personal preferences. It’s advisable to decide what truly matters to you and what you are willing to let go of. Or what standards you are willing to relax to accept things as “good enough”.(接纳“足够好”即可。对于“足够好”这一概念，每个人的理解可能会因个人偏好而有所不同。建议你先明确哪些对你来说是真正重要的，哪些是可以舍弃的，或者哪些标准是你愿意放宽以将其视为“足够好”的)”可知，本段围绕“接受‘足够好’”展开，上文提到“确定对自己重要的事，放宽标准”，本句总结了这一理念，明确“足够好”的具体含义。故F选项“目标是将日常家务做得达到一个舒适的水平”符合语境，故选F。 第二部分 语言运用（共二节, 满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） My uncle George lives in a home with a few other people like him.

At my most stressed and vulnerable, angry and sad — during painful breakups and professional 31 — that phone call nevertheless rolls in, allowing me to escape 32 for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. George doesn’t understand things at a (an) 33 level. It’s impossible for him to 34 certain aspects of my life.

On Christmas Eve, Dad took me into our yard. I was five that year and I sat next to Dad and we looked up at the sky, “Pick out your favorite star,” Dad said. He told me I could have one star for keeps. He said it was my Christmas present. “You can’t give me a star! No one owns the stars.” “That’s right, Betty. No one else owns them. You just have to claim it before anyone else does.” I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one. I could see hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions, hanging in the clear sky. There was one in particular, in the west above the mountains but low in the sky, which shone more brightly than all the rest. I pointed and claimed it. Dad smiled, telling me I chose Venus. It looked bigger and brighter because it was much closer than other stars. It reflected the light of the sun. “I like it anyway,” I said. “Alright,” Dad agreed. “It’s Christmas. You can have a planet if you want.” From then on, Venus got a new name in our family, Betty’s Planet. After Christmas, Dad found another job in the mine and he worked like mad. Gradually, we could make ends meet and there were presents under the Christmas tree and cakes when it was my birthday. But deep down, no present could match Betty’s Planet. Years later, I entered university, majoring in engineering, but I stuck to my passion for astronomy in my spare time. In my junior year, I became the first undergraduate ever to discover an asteroid (小行星) when examining images of thousands of asteroids on my computer, due to which I was given the right to name this asteroid according to the tradition of International Astronomical Union. 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。 This time, I decided to give Dad a present. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 This time, I decided to give Dad a present. I named the asteroid “Matt’s Star” to honor him. When I told Dad about it on the phone, he fell silent for a while. Then he said, “Betty, that’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” I explained that the asteroid was small but special, just like the star he gave me years ago. I also told him that whenever he looked up at the sky, he could think of it as a symbol of our love, which would never fade. Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas. “I was so poor then that I couldn’t give you a real present,” he said with a sigh. I told him that Betty’s Planet was the most precious gift because it taught me to find joy in simple things. I added that if there was no that Christmas, I might not have developed a love for astronomy, which led me to discover the asteroid. Dad laughed and said he was proud of me, and from that day on, we often talked about “our stars” on the phone. 【导语】本文以贝蒂和父亲的情感为线索展开，主要讲述了贝蒂小时的一个圣诞节，父亲因为家里拮据，只能送“星星”给她。从此，贝蒂爱上观星。大学发现小行星后，贝蒂以父亲名字命名作为礼物，父亲为当年圣诞只能送“星星”道歉，贝蒂却视其为最珍贵礼物，体现父女深情与那段回忆的意义。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一次，我决定给父亲一份礼物。”可知，第一段可描写作者将发现的小行星命名为“Matt’s Star”送给父亲，父亲非常感动。 ②由第二段首句内容“父亲说那个圣诞节他欠我一个道歉。”可知，第二段可描写父亲向作者道歉，作者表示那个礼物对自己意义重大，并因此爱上了天文学，父亲感到很骄傲。 2.续写线索：送父亲礼物——父亲感动——父亲道歉——作者解释礼物的意义——父亲感到骄傲 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①解释：explain/make it clear/account for ②爱上：develop a love for/fall in love with ③因……骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 情绪类： ①珍贵的：precious/valuable/priceless ②开心：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I explained that the asteroid was small but special, just like the star he gave me years ago.(运用了that引导的宾语从句，和省略关系代词的定语从句) 【高分句型2】I also told him that whenever he looked up at the sky, he could think of it as a symbol of our love, which would never fade.(运用了that引导的宾语从句，whenever引导的状语从句，which引导的定语从句) 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 3 Festivals and Customs 单元模拟卷--2025-2026学年高中英语 牛津译林版（2020）必修第二册 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Family-Friendly Outdoor Festivals Here are some of the best outdoor festivals for families.

During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise.

C The traditional Chinese therapy of cupping is about creating a vacuum by burning something inside a jar and quickly placing the jar on the selected skin area. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cupping helps draw out inner toxins (毒素) and promotes the flow of “qi” and blood, easing swelling and reducing pain. There is a saying in China: With acupuncture (针灸) and cupping, more than half of the illnesses are cured. Historical records on cupping can date back to the Qin dynasty, when it was called the horn therapy. It gradually developed in the Southern and Northern dynasties, becoming a Taoist medical practice and widely used in the courts of Imperial China. In the Sui dynasty and the Tang dynasty, the cupping method was improved, and bamboo jars replaced animal horns. In the Ming dynasty, cupping became a key treatment in TCM. The present name was coined in the Qing dynasty when the jar used began to be made of pottery. These days, many practitioners use cups made of thick glass or plastic, though bamboo and pottery cups are still used in some places. Glass cups are the preferred cups because they do not break as easily as pottery or deteriorate like bamboo, and they allow doctors to observe the skin and evaluate the effects of treatment. There are several methods of cupping, and one of them is “sustained cupping”. After applying the cup, leave it on for about 10 minutes for adults and 3 minutes for children, then remove it. This is the standard method for treating various common conditions. Another method, called movable cupping, combines cupping and scraping (刮). First, apply lubricant (润滑油) to the skin. Then, attach the cup and slide it along a chosen path until bruising occurs before removing it. The third method is called “quick cupping”. The cup is sucked onto the skin, immediately removed and then put back again. This procedure is repeated until the treated skin turns red. 8．According to the TCM theory, what is the main function of cupping? A．To create patterns on the selected skin area. B．To remove toxins and restore energy flow. C．To cure more than half of the illnesses. D．To test the heat resistance of different materials. 9．What can we infer about the development of cupping in Chinese history? A．It was only used by the royal family throughout history. B．It has always been a key treatment in Chinese history. C．The medical effects have changed significantly. D．The materials used for cups have evolved over time. 10．What does the underlined word “deteriorate” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Become damaged over time. B．Gain medical effectiveness. C．Change color permanently. D．Absorb toxins quickly. 11．Why does the author write this passage? A．To compare different traditional Chinese therapies. B．To explain why cupping is losing popularity today. C．To introduce the history and techniques of cupping therapy. D．To argue for the superiority of TCM over Western medicine.

Have less stuff. 17 You have to clean it, put it away, and search for it when needed. By reducing the number of belongings you have, you will decrease the number of items that require your attention. This also means less stuff to move to clean under and less stuff to clean around. Additionally, having less stuff contributes to a visually cleaner and tidier living space. 18 When each item has a fixed spot, it is easy to put things back where they belong. This significantly reduces the time spent searching for misplaced items. Keep up with cleaning regularly. When you don’t keep up with chores at regular times, it takes more time and effort to clean your house. 19 For example, if you give your bathroom counters a quick wipe every day or two, it’ll only take a minute or two each time. And mess won’t have a chance to really build up in the meantime. Embrace good enough. Everyone’s understanding of “good enough” may vary based on personal preferences. It’s advisable to decide what truly matters to you and what you are willing to let go of. Or what standards you are willing to relax to accept things as “good enough”. 20 A．Reset your house often. B．Have an easy-to-access place for everything. C．Everything you own requires some of your time. D．Otherwise, you will be too busy to clean your house. E．Dealing with a never-ending to-do list is exhausting. F．The goal is to complete essential household chores to a comfortable standard. G．That is simply because more mess, dirt, dust, etc. has had a chance to build up. 第二部分 语言运用（共二节, 满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） My uncle George lives in a home with a few other people like him.

On Christmas Eve, Dad took me into our yard. I was five that year and I sat next to Dad and we looked up at the sky, “Pick out your favorite star,” Dad said. He told me I could have one star for keeps. He said it was my Christmas present. “You can’t give me a star! No one owns the stars.” “That’s right, Betty. No one else owns them. You just have to claim it before anyone else does.” I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one. I could see hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions, hanging in the clear sky. There was one in particular, in the west above the mountains but low in the sky, which shone more brightly than all the rest. I pointed and claimed it. Dad smiled, telling me I chose Venus. It looked bigger and brighter because it was much closer than other stars. It reflected the light of the sun. “I like it anyway,” I said. “Alright,” Dad agreed. “It’s Christmas. You can have a planet if you want.” From then on, Venus got a new name in our family, Betty’s Planet. After Christmas, Dad found another job in the mine and he worked like mad. Gradually, we could make ends meet and there were presents under the Christmas tree and cakes when it was my birthday. But deep down, no present could match Betty’s Planet. Years later, I entered university, majoring in engineering, but I stuck to my passion for astronomy in my spare time. In my junior year, I became the first undergraduate ever to discover an asteroid (小行星) when examining images of thousands of asteroids on my computer, due to which I was given the right to name this asteroid according to the tradition of International Astronomical Union. 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。 This time, I decided to give Dad a present. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
