The way he genuinely explored China made a lot of people think: “Maybe we should be more open to other cultures, too.”(网友们说他“疯狂但真实”。他对中国的真诚探索让很多人思考：“也许我们也应该对其他文化更加开放”)”说明了他的中国之行对人们产生了影响，引发了人们对于文化态度的思考。所以选项D“A young YouTuber’s journey in China and its impact.（一位年轻 YouTube 博主的中国之行及其影响）”准确概括了文章内容。故选D。 C The vast area of Patagonia remains mostly unaffected by men, but oil pollution, long-time climate change and local fisheries still pose many risks to the millions of Magellanic penguins (企鹅) that return there to breed (繁殖) and nest each year. “They are the lords of this place,” says Pablo Borboroglu, the founder and president of the Global Penguin Society. “Most people think that there are only three or four species of penguins and they all live on ice because of movies or cartoons,” he says, but these assumptions are far from true. Of 18 species of penguins, only four are limited to Antarctica. “The penguins that are facing more problems are the ones that have to coexist with the humans,” he notes. Borboroglu thinks that mutually beneficial coexistence between humans and animals is essential for the penguins’ survival. His team promotes eco-tourism and fosters conversations with governments and entrepreneurs (企业家) . In many developing countries, leaders want to help save species, but hard financial realities sometimes get in the way. Still, there are victories. Ten years ago, Borboroglu and his team discovered a new group of penguins. There were only six pairs. So, his team made a plan to reward locals. They pushed to establish an ecotourism operation, and worked with locals on management plans. The effort created jobs for people and generated local interest in the penguins. Ten years later, they counted almost 2,600 pairs, and the number continues to grow. Borboroglu also firmly believes that investing in public education will ensure lasting impact, especially among young people. So, he designs education programs teaching an appreciation of penguins and their needs, knowing that these children will someday be future leaders. 8. What’s the common misunderstanding about penguins? A. All of them live on ice. B. There are 18 species on the Earth. C. They are facing survival problems. D. Only 4 species live on Antarctica. 9 Which may Borboroglu agree with about the penguins’ survival? A. Entrepreneurs should help with financial difficulties. B. Developing countries should do more to save penguins. C. Governments should control the development of tourism. D. Humans should coexist with penguins in a friendly way. 10. Why does the author make a comparison in Paragraph 4? A. To show penguins’ ability to breed. B. To prove the achievement the team got. C. To inspire people’s interest in penguins. D. To introduce ways to protect penguins. 11. What will Borboroglu do to continue protecting penguins? A. Choose the future leaders. B. Build colder habitats for penguins. C. Raise money for penguins. D. Promote education projects among the young. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了巴塔哥尼亚地区的麦哲伦企鹅面临的生存威胁及Borboroglu团队通过生态旅游、政府合作和教育项目保护企鹅的努力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Most people think that there are only three or four species of penguins and they all live on ice because of movies or cartoons,” he says, but these assumptions are far from true.(他说：“因为电影或漫画，大多数人认为只有三到四种企鹅，而且它们都生活在冰上。”但这些假设远非事实。)”可知，常见误解是所有企鹅都生活在冰上。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Borboroglu thinks that mutually beneficial coexistence between humans and animals is essential for the penguins’ survival.(Borboroglu认为，人类与动物的互利共存对企鹅的生存至关重要。)”可知，Borboroglu主张人类应与企鹅友好共存。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Still, there are victories. Ten years ago, Borboroglu and his team discovered a new group of penguins. There were only six pairs. So, his team made a plan to reward locals. They pushed to establish an ecotourism operation, and worked with locals on management plans. The effort created jobs for people and generated local interest in the penguins. Ten years later, they counted almost 2,600 pairs, and the number continues to grow.(尽管如此，还是有成功的时刻。十年前，Borboroglu和他的团队发现了一组新的企鹅。只有六对。因此，他的团队制定了一个奖励当地人的计划。他们推动建立生态旅游业务，并与当地人合作制定管理计划。这项工作为人们创造了就业机会，并激发了当地人对企鹅的兴趣。十年后，他们统计了近2600对，而且这个数字还在继续增长。)”可知，作者通过对比证明团队保护措施的有效性。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, he designs education programs teaching an appreciation of penguins and their needs, knowing that these children will someday be future leaders.(因此，他设计教育项目，教导人们欣赏企鹅及其需求，因为他知道这些孩子有一天会成为未来的领导者)”可知，Borboroglu将继续推动针对年轻人的教育项目。故选D。 D Releasing tiny metal rods (金属棒) into Mars’ atmosphere could warm the planet enough to melt water and support microbial life. Scientists at the University of Chicago aim to find a way to make Mars suitable for humans to live. So it is crucial to raise its surface temperature. Some people have suggested putting mirrors above Mars’ surface or pumping methane (甲) into its atmosphere, but these ideas are difficult to apply because the raw materials required would need to be sent from Earth. Now, Edwin Kite and his colleagues have found relatively small dust clouds made from iron or aluminium (铝) rods taken from rocks on Mars could warm the planet in a period of a few months or over a decade, depending on how quickly the particles are released. These metal rods could be carried by wind from the surface to Mars’ upper atmosphere, where they would then remain for around a decade, trapping heat from below and allowing more sunlight through. Kite and his team modeled how the rods responded to light and then fed this information into climate simulations (模拟), which showed that the increase in temperature and pressure would be enough for parts of Mars to sustain liquid water and potentially oxygen-producing bacteria. They also found that this warming would only need the rods to be released at a rate equal to that of water flowing through about 30 garden taps, amounting to a total of 700,000 cubic metres of metal per year to achieve the required warming, or around 1 percent of Earth's metal production. “According to our plan, we found a surprisingly small amount of engineered dust would be required, much less than the amount of engineered greenhouse gases required if you wanted the same amount of warming,” says Kite. “But it would still be challenging to dig large holes in the ground to collect iron or aluminium from Mars.” “One uncertainty in the simulations is how the tiny rods might interact with water in Mars’ atmosphere. Water can form a group with the dust and fall back to the surface as rain, reducing the warming,” says Manoj Joshi at the University of East Anglia, UK. 12. What do the scientists at the University of Chicago try to do? A. To make Mars habitable. B. To change Mars’ landscape. C. To send raw materials to Mars. D. To find microbial life on Mars. 13. What can the metal rods do? A. Help clean Mars’ atmosphere. B. Better expose Mars’ surface to the sun. C. Collect particles from Mars’ rocks. D. Keep Mars’ upper atmosphere cold. 14. What is the difficulty of the plan according to Kite? A. Sustaining liquid water on Mars’ surface. B. Mining for needed metal materials on Mars. C. Producing a large amount of water on lars. D. Releasing engineered greenhouse gases into Mars’ atmosphere. 15. What is Manoi Joshi’s attitude towards the plan? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Serious. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家提出通过将微小的金属棒释放到火星大气中提升火星温度，使火星适合人类居住。解释了这种金属棒的工作原理以及人们对此的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists at the University of Chicago aim to find a way to make Mars suitable for humans to live.(芝加哥大学的科学家们旨在找到一种使火星适合人类居住的方法)”可知，芝加哥大学的科学家们试图使火星适宜居住。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These metal rods could be carried by wind from the surface to Mars’ upper atmosphere, where they would then remain for around a decade, trapping heat from below and allowing more sunlight through.(这些金属棒可以被风从火星表面带到上层大气，然后在那里停留大约十年，从下面吸收热量，让更多的阳光通过)”可知，金属棒能更好地把火星表面暴露在太阳下。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But it would still be challenging to dig large holes in the ground to collect iron or aluminium from Mars.(但在地面上挖大洞从火星上收集铁或铝仍然是一项挑战)”可知，根据凯特的说法，这个计划的难度是在火星上开采所需的金属材料。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““One uncertainty in the simulations is how the tiny rods might interact with water in Mars’ atmosphere. Water can form a group with the dust and fall back to the surface as rain, reducing the warming,” says Manoj Joshi at the University of East Anglia, UK.(英国东安格利亚大学的Manoj Joshi说：‘模拟中的一个不确定因素是这些小棒如何与火星大气中的水相互作用。水可以与灰尘形成一团，并以雨的形式落回地面，从而减少变暖。’)”可知，Manoi Joshi对这个计划的态度是怀疑的。故选B。 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。 Saying no can be difficult for many people. ____16____ However, learning how to say no and feel good about it is an important skill. Here are some strategies for actually doing it in a way that leaves us feeling good about our decision. One of the most important aspects of saying no is being honest and direct in your communication. ____17____ Being honest and direct in your communication helps to avoid misunderstandings and ultimately leads to better relationships. Using “I” statements can help to take the focus off the other person’s request. For example, rather than saying “I can’t help you move this weekend, ”you might say, “I need to take some time for myself this weekend and won’t be able to help you move.” ____18____ ____19____ For example, if a colleague asks you to take on an extra project, you might say, “I’m not able to take on this project right now, but I can provide support later.” Doing so helps to soften the blow of your no. Besides, it shows you’re still willing to help. Setting clear boundaries for yourself can make saying no much easier. ____20____ Additionally, it prevents overcommitting and helps maintain a healthy balance in your life. In conclusion, learning how to say no and feel good about it helps us protect our time and energy, prioritizes our own needs and desires, and maintains healthy boundaries. A. It can feel uncomfortable and even guilty. B. We can say no with confidence and peace of mind. C. It helps maintain our physical and emotional well-being. D. If you want to help, you can offer an alternative to the request. E. Rather than skirting around the issue, simply state your reasons. F. In this way, you can shift the focus onto your own needs and desires. G. Knowing your priorities and limits helps you confidently decline irrelevant requests. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍对许多人来说拒绝很难，并给出如何恰当拒绝的策略，如诚实直接沟通等。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Saying no can be difficult for many people. (对许多人来说，拒绝可能很难。)”可知，拒绝别人对许多人来说很难，结合下文的“ However, learning how to say no and feel good about it is an important skill.(然而，学会如何拒绝并对此感到坦然是一项重要的技能。)”可知，此处需进一步说明“难”的具体感受，且与空后为转折关系。A选项“It can feel uncomfortable and even guilty. (这可能会让人感到不舒服，甚至内疚。)”承接上文且与下文为转折关系uncomfortable and even guilty，符合语境difficult。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One of the most important aspects of saying no is being honest and direct in your communication. (拒绝最重要的一点是在沟通中诚实直接。)”可知，此段强调“诚实直接”的原则。E选项“Rather than skirting around the issue, simply state your reasons. (与其回避问题，不如直接说明你的理由。)”与本段的主题一致，其中的“Rather than skirting around”与“being honest and direct”形成对比，“state your reasons”具体阐释“直接沟通”的方式，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Using ‘I’ statements can help to take the focus off the other person’s request. (使用“我”语句有助于将焦点从对方的请求上移开。)”及举例“For example, rather than saying “I can’t help you move this weekend, ”you might say, “I need to take some time for myself this weekend and won’t be able to help you move.” (例如，与其说 “这个周末我没法帮你搬家”，你可以说 “这个周末我需要给自己一些时间，所以没办法帮你搬家了”。)”可知，此段说明“我”语句的作用。F选项“In this way, you can shift the focus onto your own needs and desires. (通过这种方式，你可以将焦点转移到自己的需求和愿望上。)”中的“In this way”指代上文“使用‘我’语句”进一步阐述“我”语句的作用，符合语境shift the focus onto your own needs”解释其核心效果，与“take the focus off the other person’s request。故选F项。 【19题详解】 此处为本段的主题句，根据下文“For example, if a colleague asks you to take on an extra project, you might say, “I’m not able to take on this project right now, but I can provide support later.” Doing so helps to soften the blow of your no. Besides, it shows you’re still willing to help.”(例如，如果一位同事请你承担一个额外的项目，你可以说：“我现在无法接手这个项目，但稍后可以提供支持。” 这样做有助于减轻拒绝带来的冲击，此外，这也表明你仍然愿意提供帮助。)可知，此段建议在拒绝时提供替代方案。D选项“If you want to help, you can offer an alternative to the request. (如果你想帮忙，可以提供一个替代请求的方案。)”中的“offer an alternative”直接概括例子中的应对方式，与下文的内容吻合，符合语境soften the blow of your no”(减轻拒绝的打击)与下文“shows you’re still willing to help”(表明你仍愿意帮忙)。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Setting clear boundaries for yourself can make saying no much easier. (为自己设定明确的界限可以让拒绝变得容易得多。)”可知，此段强调“界限”对拒绝的作用。G选项“Knowing your priorities and limits helps you confidently decline irrelevant requests. (了解自己的优先事项和界限有助于你自信地拒绝不相关的请求。)”中的“Knowing your priorities and limits”具体说明“设定界限”的内涵，“confidently decline”呼应“make saying no much easier”，进一步阐述界限带来的积极效果。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the age of 16, I went to Australia as an exchange student and lived with a host family.

He also has a speech delay, so he speaks slowly and can be hard to understand. However, it was this boy that totally changed my attitude toward life. Three years ago, when I was unbelievably self-centered, my dad arranged for me to watch a video after I got back home from school. I will never forget that movie. My eyes filled with tears as images of mentally and physically challenged children playing baseball flashed across the screen. I learned about Challenger, a program that gives these children the chance to play baseball on a team with the help of “buddies (伙伴)”. Some buddies act as eyes for those who have vision problems, legs for those who can’t walk, and a friend to the mentally challenged. Challenger not only gives the children a team to play on, but a sense of belonging that they may lack in their difficult life. After the short film ended, my dad explained he was going to add this program to our town’s baseball league, since he was president of the league, and he told me that he expected me to participate. I suddenly became interested in volunteering as a buddy for children with special needs. So when Sunday came, I sat with my dad and other volunteers waiting for the players to arrive. A few cars pulled up, and some players were introduced to their buddies. Then, I saw another car pull up. A cute little boy called Jack got off the car with his mother. “This is my daughter, Amy. She’s going to be your buddy for the season. Is that okay, Jack?” my dad said with a smile. But Jack just hid behind his mother, looking unhappy. 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。 Apparently, Jack didn’t like to play with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my great joy, my efforts paid off and Jack was beginning to accept me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Apparently, Jack didn’t like to play with me. Initially, I felt a little embarrassed and discouraged, thinking, “Why am I wasting my time here when he doesn’t even like me?” However, I reminded myself that I was there to help him and make him happy. So I made every effort to make friends with this boy, by patiently teaching him how to play baseball, how to overcome his physical limitations, and most importantly, by being nice and making him laugh happily. To my great joy, my efforts paid off and Jack was beginning to accept me. As the weeks passed, a special bond developed between us. Sunday became Jack’s favorite time because he could play with me on the baseball field. And I loved spending time with him too, because watching him laugh brought me great pleasure. Sure enough, Jack has made me see the real value of life, which lies in helping and caring for others. The program has definitely turned out to be the best experience of my life — one that I look forward to every week. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者通过参与一个名为“Challenger”的项目，作为特殊需要儿童的伙伴（buddy），与一位名叫Jack的10岁男孩相遇，从而彻底改变了作者对生活的态度。作者原本以自我中心，但在观看了一段关于身心障碍儿童打棒球的视频后，深受触动。随后，作者的父亲将这一项目引入了他们小镇的棒球联盟，并鼓励作者参与其中。在作为志愿者的过程中，作者与Jack相遇，尽管Jack在行走和言语上有困难，但他的存在对作者产生了深远的影响，使作者对生活有了更深刻的理解和积极的态度。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“显然，Jack不喜欢和我一起玩。”可知，第一段可描写作者矛盾的心理活动以及决定竭尽全力和Jack交朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容“令我非常高兴的是，我的努力得到了回报，Jack开始接受我了。”可知，第二段可描写Jack发生的具体变化以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：矛盾心理——决定和Jack交朋友——Jack的变化——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②努力做某事：make every effort to do/spare no effort to do ③喜欢：love/be fond of ④克服：overcome/get over 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②高兴地：happily/cheerfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] I reminded myself that I was there to help him and make him happy.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] The program has definitely turned out to be the best experience of my life — one that I look forward to every week.（运用了that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 宿州市省、市示范高中2024-2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测 高一英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。请在答题卡上作答。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B IShowSpeed is a 20-year-old YouTuber from the U. S., who went viral during his recent trip to China. His videos from this trip got millions of views and not just on YouTube, but also reposted across Chinese social platforms like Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin. The Chinese Embassy in the U. S. posted about Speed’s China trip really on Twitter. Speed’s China trip showed people a different side of China — warm, real, full of life. People call him “Jia Kang Ge” because he is extremely energetic in front of the camera, always jumping around and shouting. Netizens gave him this nickname as a playful joke, but it also carries a sense of affection. The literal meaning of “Jia Kang Ge” is hyperthyroidism. Basically, hyper energy and chaotic charm. Speed, an American YouTuber, has gained immense attention for his travel experiences in China. One of his livestreams from China hit three million views.

Even though he is an international star, in China, he was completely natural — zero celebrity distance. People find him down to earth. Netizens say he is “crazy but real”. The way he genuinely explored China made a lot of people think:“Maybe we should be more open to other cultures, too.” One of the netizens says, “You can feel his sincere curiosity and reactions. China stream has been by far the best stream ever for Speed. He went up against a lot of pressure not to go to China, but he did. It turned out amazing.” 4. What does the nickname “Jia Kang Ge” reflect about Speed? A His popularity among netizens. B. His energetic character and charm. C. His love for jumping and shouting. D.

C The vast area of Patagonia remains mostly unaffected by men, but oil pollution, long-time climate change and local fisheries still pose many risks to the millions of Magellanic penguins (企鹅) that return there to breed (繁殖) and nest each year. “They are the lords of this place,” says Pablo Borboroglu, the founder and president of the Global Penguin Society. “Most people think that there are only three or four species of penguins and they all live on ice because of movies or cartoons,” he says, but these assumptions are far from true. Of 18 species of penguins, only four are limited to Antarctica. “The penguins that are facing more problems are the ones that have to coexist with the humans,” he notes. Borboroglu thinks that mutually beneficial coexistence between humans and animals is essential for the penguins’ survival. His team promotes eco-tourism and fosters conversations with governments and entrepreneurs (企业家) . In many developing countries, leaders want to help save species, but hard financial realities sometimes get in the way. Still, there are victories. Ten years ago, Borboroglu and his team discovered a new group of penguins. There were only six pairs. So, his team made a plan to reward locals. They pushed to establish an ecotourism operation, and worked with locals on management plans. The effort created jobs for people and generated local interest in the penguins. Ten years later, they counted almost 2,600 pairs, and the number continues to grow. Borboroglu also firmly believes that investing in public education will ensure lasting impact, especially among young people. So, he designs education programs teaching an appreciation of penguins and their needs, knowing that these children will someday be future leaders. 8. What’s the common misunderstanding about penguins? A. All of them live on ice. B. There are 18 species on the Earth. C. They are facing survival problems. D. Only 4 species live on Antarctica. 9. Which may Borboroglu agree with about the penguins’ survival? A. Entrepreneurs should help with financial difficulties. B. Developing countries should do more to save penguins. C. Governments should control the development of tourism. D. Humans should coexist with penguins in a friendly way. 10. Why does the author make a comparison in Paragraph 4? A. To show penguins’ ability to breed. B. To prove the achievement the team got. C. To inspire people’s interest in penguins. D. To introduce ways to protect penguins. 11. What will Borboroglu do to continue protecting penguins? A. Choose the future leaders. B. Build colder habitats for penguins. C. Raise money for penguins. D. Promote education projects among the young. D Releasing tiny metal rods (金属棒) into Mars’ atmosphere could warm the planet enough to melt water and support microbial life. Scientists at the University of Chicago aim to find a way to make Mars suitable for humans to live. So it is crucial to raise its surface temperature. Some people have suggested putting mirrors above Mars’ surface or pumping methane (甲) into its atmosphere, but these ideas are difficult to apply because the raw materials required would need to be sent from Earth. Now, Edwin Kite and his colleagues have found relatively small dust clouds made from iron or aluminium (铝) rods taken from rocks on Mars could warm the planet in a period of a few months or over a decade, depending on how quickly the particles are released. These metal rods could be carried by wind from the surface to Mars’ upper atmosphere, where they would then remain for around a decade, trapping heat from below and allowing more sunlight through. Kite and his team modeled how the rods responded to light and then fed this information into climate simulations (模拟), which showed that the increase in temperature and pressure would be enough for parts of Mars to sustain liquid water and potentially oxygen-producing bacteria. They also found that this warming would only need the rods to be released at a rate equal to that of water flowing through about 30 garden taps, amounting to a total of 700,000 cubic metres of metal per year to achieve the required warming, or around 1 percent of Earth's metal production. “According to our plan, we found a surprisingly small amount of engineered dust would be required, much less than the amount of engineered greenhouse gases required if you wanted the same amount of warming,” says Kite. “But it would still be challenging to dig large holes in the ground to collect iron or aluminium from Mars.” “One uncertainty in the simulations is how the tiny rods might interact with water in Mars’ atmosphere. Water can form a group with the dust and fall back to the surface as rain, reducing the warming,” says Manoj Joshi at the University of East Anglia, UK. 12. What do the scientists at the University of Chicago try to do? A. To make Mars habitable. B. To change Mars’ landscape. C. To send raw materials to Mars. D. To find microbial life on Mars. 13. What can the metal rods do? A. Help clean Mars’ atmosphere. B. Better expose Mars’ surface to the sun. C. Collect particles from Mars’ rocks. D. Keep Mars’ upper atmosphere cold. 14.

He also has a speech delay, so he speaks slowly and can be hard to understand. However, it was this boy that totally changed my attitude toward life. Three years ago, when I was unbelievably self-centered, my dad arranged for me to watch a video after I got back home from school. I will never forget that movie. My eyes filled with tears as images of mentally and physically challenged children playing baseball flashed across the screen. I learned about Challenger, a program that gives these children the chance to play baseball on a team with the help of “buddies (伙伴)”. Some buddies act as eyes for those who have vision problems, legs for those who can’t walk, and a friend to the mentally challenged. Challenger not only gives the children a team to play on, but a sense of belonging that they may lack in their difficult life. After the short film ended, my dad explained he was going to add this program to our town’s baseball league, since he was president of the league, and he told me that he expected me to participate. I suddenly became interested in volunteering as a buddy for children with special needs. So when Sunday came, I sat with my dad and other volunteers waiting for the players to arrive. A few cars pulled up, and some players were introduced to their buddies. Then, I saw another car pull up. A cute little boy called Jack got off the car with his mother. “This is my daughter, Amy. She’s going to be your buddy for the season. Is that okay, Jack?” my dad said with a smile. But Jack just hid behind his mother, looking unhappy. 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。 Apparently, Jack didn’t like to play with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my great joy, my efforts paid off and Jack was beginning to accept me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
