Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social function that is particularly important to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have inspired other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone global. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 4. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the participants. D. The position on the skateboard. 5. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert guidance to professional surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people overcome fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 6. What could we infer about the older women from the question “What about us?”? A. They disliked surfing. B. They desired to learn surfing. C. They were fearful of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting the Elderly into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种适合老年人的冲浪方式——趴板冲浪，并通过Granny Grommets的案例说明冲浪能帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活力，同时形成社交社群。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. (另一种对膝盖更友好的特殊冲浪形式是趴板冲浪，冲浪者会俯卧在特制的冲浪板上进行滑行)”可知，趴板冲浪的特殊之处在于冲浪者在板上的姿势不同。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. (随着年龄增长，人们往往会在开始体育活动时失去信心并产生强烈的恐惧感，尤其是像冲浪这类运动时。一些冲浪课程旨在通过提供专业指导、培养社交联系，同时为老年人带来健康益处，来消除这些顾虑)”可知，这些冲浪课程的目标是帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活跃。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” (这个团体最初成立时，创始人Kim Buttfield正在教一对母女冲浪，这时几位年长女性走过来好奇地问道：“那我们呢?”)”可知，几位年长女性提问“那我们呢？”，是想像那对母女一样学习冲浪，这表现出她们渴望学习冲浪的意愿。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. (这项运动正因其对所有年龄层人群的吸引力而越来越受欢迎)”可知，文章围绕趴板冲浪展开，指出这是一种适合老年人的冲浪方式，并通过Granny Grommets的案例说明冲浪能帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活力，同时形成社交社群。因此，B项“让老年人参与冲浪”最契合趴板冲浪特别的吸引力，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That may not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. Anne said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey,89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 8. Which is a benefit children may get by learning musical instruments according to the text? A. Becoming famous. B. Doing things perfectly. C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Having better brain health in later life. 9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Positive. B. Absolute. C. Typical. D. Sufficient. 10. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It inspired them to sing more. B. It helps them stay physically active. C. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. D. It lowers their chance of developing dementia. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain the importance of a hobby. B. To tell us what we should do in daily life. C. To push people to join in music activities. D. To describe that singing is good for health. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现演奏乐器和唱歌对人晚年的大脑健康有益，尤其能降低患痴呆症的风险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(但父母可以用以下方式给孩子一个尝试的理由：一项研究发现，演奏乐器可能会在以后的生活中带来更好的大脑健康。)”可知，孩子们学习乐器的一个好处是在晚年拥有更好的大脑健康。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect.(研究发现，演奏乐器，尤其是钢琴，与更好的记忆力和思维能力有关。研究还发现，晚年继续演奏乐器会产生更salutary效果。)”可知，salutary在这里与“better”呼应，表达积极的、有益的意思。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Anne said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.(Anne说：“有很多证据表明，音乐团体活动对痴呆症患者有益。”她还建议，这样的活动可以用来降低患痴呆症的风险。)”可知，Anne认为音乐可以降低老年人患痴呆症的几率。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That may not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music.(但这里有个理由，家长们可以用它来激励孩子尝试：一项研究发现，演奏乐器或许能让他们在晚年拥有更健康的大脑。对于那些有其他更想做的事情的孩子来说，这可能不足以起到鼓励作用，但对那些热爱音乐的孩子而言，这无疑是个好消息。)”和最后一段“Of those who took part in the survey,89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.(在参与调查的人中，89%的人说他们在生活中的某个时候玩过乐器，大约一半的人仍然在玩乐器。大约七成的人说他们参加过集体演唱)”并结合文中对该研究的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了演奏乐器和唱歌对大脑健康的益处，尤其是对老年人降低患痴呆症风险有帮助，且最后提到参与调查的人多数有过相关音乐活动经历，由此可推断作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们参与音乐活动。故选C项。 D In 2020, scientists claimed to have found a sign of life on Venus (金星):a smelly gas in nature called phosphine that’s made by tiny living things on Earth. The claim was quickly stirring up disagreement. Now, another smelly gas is making waves in the search for alien (外星的) life — now turning to a planet beyond our solar system. Researchers announced on April 16 that they had used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to discover a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b. On Earth, DMS is mostly made by tiny ocean plants. On other planets, it could be what’s called a biosignature. The University of Cambridge, which hosts several of the researchers involved in the discovery, was quick to promote the finding as the strongest sign of biological activity outside the solar system. Some media agents followed suit to publicize the DMS as a likely sign of life. But scientists not involved in the discovery aren’t as overjoyed. For Clara Sousa-Silva, an astrochemist at Bard College who has weathered the storm of the Venus biosignature debate in 2020, she now watches history repeat itself. “The situation is disappointingly familiar. We did not learn enough from the ‘phosphine on Venus’ event,” she said. Those scientists use JWST to discover gases in K2-18b’s atmosphere by analyzing how starlight changes as it passes through K2-18b’s atmosphere. Each gas leaves unique marks in the light, which appear as squiggly lines on special graphs. They compared these lines to 20different molecules (分子). Sousa-Silva pointed most of the molecules aren’t structurally similar to DMS. National Geographic contacted some experts to find out what to make of this new biosignature claim, Their views are represented: It’s an interesting discovery, perhaps even an important step on the way to discovering life on other planets one day. They stressed on “one day”. 12. Why do the researchers consider DMS as a sign of life? A. It is mostly made up of phosphine. B. It is just as smelly as phosphine on Venus, C. It is mainly produced by living things on Earth. D. It was found on K2-18b which has living things. 13. What is Clara Sousa-Silva’s attitude to the new biosignature claim? A. Excited. B. Appreciative. C. Confused. D. Doubtful. 14. How did scientists identify DMS in K2-18b’s atmosphere? A. By observing ocean plants on K2-18b. B. By directly collecting gas from K2-18b. C. By studying starlight passing through its atmosphere. D. By matching it with 20 molecules of similar structure. 15. What can be inferred from the experts’ views in the last paragraph? A. More evidence is needed to confirm the claim. B Findings from JWST are rather disappointing. C. They believe that life surely exists on K2-18b. D. They confirm the discovery is a big achievement. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员在系外行星 K2-18b发现DMS，认为可能是生命迹象，但其遭质疑，专家称需更多证据，这只是探索外星生命的一步。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On Earth, DMS is mostly made by tiny ocean plants. On other planets, it could be what’s called a biosignature.(在地球上，二甲基硫醚主要由微小的海洋植物产生。在其他行星上，它可能就是所谓的生物特征)”可知，研究人员认为DMS是生命迹象，因为它在地球上主要由生物产生。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But scientists not involved in the discovery aren’t as overjoyed. For Clara Sousa-Silva, an astrochemist at Bard College who has weathered the storm of the Venus biosignature debate in 2020, she now watches history repeat itself. “The situation is disappointingly familiar. We did not learn enough from the ‘phosphine on Venus’ event,” she said.(但没有参与这一发现的科学家们并没有那么高兴。对于巴德学院的天体化学家Clara Sousa Silva来说，她已经度过了2020年金星生物签名辩论的风暴，她现在看着历史重演。她说：“这种情况令人失望地熟悉。我们没有从‘金星上的磷化氢’事件中学到足够的知识。”)”可推知，她对新的生物特征说法持怀疑态度。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Those scientists use JWST to discover gases in K2-18b’s atmosphere by analyzing how starlight changes as it passes through K2-18b’s atmosphere.(这些科学家通过分析星光穿过K2-18b大气层时的变化，利用詹姆斯・韦伯太空望远镜发现了K2-18b大气层中的气体)”可知，科学家通过研究穿过其大气层的星光来识别DMS。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Their views are represented: It’s an interesting discovery, perhaps even an important step on the way to discovering life on other planets one day. They stressed on “one day”.(他们的观点是：这是一个有趣的发现，甚至可能是未来某一天发现其他行星上生命的重要一步。他们强调“某一天”)”可推知，专家们认为还需要更多证据来证实这一说法。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Here are great ideas on how parents can keep their kids active even on the coldest days of the year.

However, learning Chinese was much harder than he thought. The characters looked like a puzzle, and the different tones (声调) confused him. Every Chinese class was a struggle, and Paul felt disappointed. Our classmates tried to help, but it was hard for them to understand each other. One day, after a difficult lesson, Paul sat down sadly. He felt like giving up. That’s when I, his partner, decided to step in. I loved languages and was good at making difficult things easier to understand. I could see how upset Paul was, so I went up to him. “Paul, I know Chinese is hard, but I believe you can do it,” I said. “Let’s study together.” Paul looked a little doubtful but felt grateful. We started meeting after school. I shared some tips on how to remember characters and practice tones. Slowly, Paul began to improve, but he still had trouble speaking. One day, while we were practicing, Paul stopped and said, “I still find it difficult to open my mouth to speak with our classmates freely.” He looked discouraged. I gently reminded him, “Paul, remember why you came here. You wanted to experience China, and learning the language is part of that.” He nodded. Just then, our Chinese teacher walked by and overheard our conversation. He smiled and said, “Paul, speaking is the key to learning any language. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” His words gave Paul some encouragement. We continued practicing, and I had an idea. “Let’s try something different,” I suggested. “We’ll visit a local market and practice speaking with the vendors (摊贩). Maybe you’ll meet someone at the market, who can help you practice speaking in real situations. It’ll be more interesting than just studying in the classroom.” 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。 At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. The lively atmosphere filled with colorful stalls and enthusiastic vendors immediately drew him in. I encouraged him to order some fruits in Chinese. At first, his pronunciation was shaky, but the elderly vendor, noticing his effort, patiently corrected him with a warm smile. By the third stall, Paul was confidently bargaining for souvenirs using simple sentences. A tea shop owner even invited us to taste different varieties, explaining their cultural significance in slow Mandarin. That day, Paul didn’t just practice language — he discovered how communication bridges cultures. Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. To everyone’s surprise, Paul volunteered immediately. He spent days preparing, incorporating market experiences into his speech about “The Beauty of Daily Communication”. When he stood before the class, his tones were clear, and his gestures lively as he described how a street food vendor taught him the difference between baozi and jiaozi. The classroom erupted in applause. Later, the teacher praised his progress as “the magic of courage meeting opportunity,” and Paul whispered to me, “Now I understand mistakes are just steps to success.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以Paul学中文为线索展开，讲述了交换生Paul因汉语太难想放弃，搭档“我”主动帮他课后补习，但他仍不敢开口。老师鼓励他“别怕犯错”，“我们”便去市场实践。Paul从紧张结巴到自信讨价还价，还学到文化知识。几周后，他主动用亲身经历做中文演讲，全班鼓掌。他最终明白：犯错是进步的阶梯。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在市场上，Paul既紧张又兴奋”可知，第一段可描写起初Paul沟通得不太顺利，但随着小贩们的热情和耐心引导，他的沟通变得流利，而且逐渐了解语言背后的文化。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，我们的语文老师宣布将有一个关于中国文化的课堂演讲”可知，第二段可描写Paul报名了演讲，在课堂上将自身在市场的经历讲述出来，演讲很成功，Paul收获了赞扬，也明白了犯错是进步的阶梯。 2. 续写线索：去市场——Paul起初受挫——Paul逐渐流利表达——老师宣布课堂演讲——Paul演讲——Paul收获赞扬，得到感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate ②注意到：notice/spot/observe ③解释：explain/clarify/account for ④描述：describe/give an account of/recount 情绪类 ①热情的：enthusiastic/passionate/ardent ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] That day, Paul didn’t just practice language — he discovered how communication bridges cultures.

B When people think about surfing, they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social function that is particularly important to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have inspired other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone global. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 4. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C The ages of the participants. D. The position on the skateboard. 5. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert guidance to professional surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people overcome fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 6. What could we infer about the older women from the question “What about us?”? A. They disliked surfing. B. They desired to learn surfing. C. They were fearful of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting the Elderly into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That may not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. Anne said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 8. Which is a benefit children may get by learning musical instruments according to the text? A. Becoming famous. B. Doing things perfectly. C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Having better brain health in later life. 9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A Positive. B. Absolute. C. Typical. D. Sufficient. 10. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It inspired them to sing more. B. It helps them stay physically active. C. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. D. It lowers their chance of developing dementia. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain the importance of a hobby. B. To tell us what we should do in daily life. C. To push people to join in music activities. D. To describe that singing is good for health. D In 2020, scientists claimed to have found a sign of life on Venus (金星):a smelly gas in nature called phosphine that’s made by tiny living things on Earth. The claim was quickly stirring up disagreement. Now, another smelly gas is making waves in the search for alien (外星的) life — now turning to a planet beyond our solar system. Researchers announced on April 16 that they had used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to discover a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b. On Earth, DMS is mostly made by tiny ocean plants. On other planets, it could be what’s called a biosignature. The University of Cambridge, which hosts several of the researchers involved in the discovery, was quick to promote the finding as the strongest sign of biological activity outside the solar system. Some media agents followed suit to publicize the DMS as a likely sign of life. But scientists not involved in the discovery aren’t as overjoyed. For Clara Sousa-Silva, an astrochemist at Bard College who has weathered the storm of the Venus biosignature debate in 2020, she now watches history repeat itself. “The situation is disappointingly familiar. We did not learn enough from the ‘phosphine on Venus’ event,” she said. Those scientists use JWST to discover gases in K2-18b’s atmosphere by analyzing how starlight changes as it passes through K2-18b’s atmosphere. Each gas leaves unique marks in the light, which appear as squiggly lines on special graphs. They compared these lines to 20different molecules (分子). Sousa-Silva pointed most of the molecules aren’t structurally similar to DMS. National Geographic contacted some experts to find out what to make of this new biosignature claim, Their views are represented: It’s an interesting discovery, perhaps even an important step on the way to discovering life on other planets one day.

However, learning Chinese was much harder than he thought. The characters looked like a puzzle, and the different tones (声调) confused him. Every Chinese class was a struggle, and Paul felt disappointed. Our classmates tried to help, but it was hard for them to understand each other. One day, after a difficult lesson, Paul sat down sadly. He felt like giving up. That’s when I, his partner, decided to step in. I loved languages and was good at making difficult things easier to understand. I could see how upset Paul was, so I went up to him. “Paul, I know Chinese is hard, but I believe you can do it,” I said. “Let’s study together.” Paul looked a little doubtful but felt grateful. We started meeting after school. I shared some tips on how to remember characters and practice tones. Slowly, Paul began to improve, but he still had trouble speaking. One day, while we were practicing, Paul stopped and said, “I still find it difficult to open my mouth to speak with our classmates freely.” He looked discouraged. I gently reminded him, “Paul, remember why you came here. You wanted to experience China, and learning the language is part of that.” He nodded. Just then, our Chinese teacher walked by and overheard our conversation. He smiled and said, “Paul, speaking is the key to learning any language. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” His words gave Paul some encouragement. We continued practicing, and I had an idea. “Let’s try something different,” I suggested. “We’ll visit a local market and practice speaking with the vendors (摊贩). Maybe you’ll meet someone at the market, who can help you practice speaking in real situations. It’ll be more interesting than just studying in the classroom.” 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。 At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
