I felt anxious when going into my room from school. Every day, my room was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my peaceful harbor. Today was no exception.
As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. But I was still doubtful about it. Yesterday, around the mouth of my favorite figurine (小雕像) was a chocolate cookie. Obviously, Callie had enjoyed the cookie so much that she wanted to share it with my angel.
I looked around for Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her, but I heard the TV blaring (发出声音) in the other room. As I examined the family room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all over the floor, but none of them seemed to be mine. Maybe she hadn't entered today. I was so hopeful that I breathed a sigh of relief.
I pushed my room door open and saw damage! There were a few headless dolls, some broken blocks, and a few juice-stained stuffed animals. “She did it again!” I screamed in anger. My mother ran up to me, embarrassed. She promised to put a Callie-proof lock on my door tonight. I felt better, because I knew that soon my room would truly belong to me. However, I was still angry with my little sister so I went into the family room to tell her how she had made life unpleasant for me. “Callie... ” I started. “Hooray!” she shouted.
She leaped off the sofa and hugged my knees with such happiness that I could only look down at her and smile. After all, she was only three and learning about the world in her own way. And she always chose to explore and destroy my room because she loved me, her big sister.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者放学回家后发现自己房间又被妹妹弄乱了,一开始很生气,后来看到妹妹开心地拥抱自己,想到妹妹只是以自己的方式探索世界、表达对自己的爱,从而释怀的故事,展现了姐妹间的别样情感。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I felt anxious when going into my room from school.(从学校回到房间时我感到很焦虑)”以及后面描述房间每天都不一样等内容,可知第一段是在介绍故事背景,A 选项正确;从第一段“The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my peaceful harbor.(在学校的几个小时足够长,足以给我那平静的港湾带来可怕的变化)”可推出在学校的时间足够妹妹把房间弄乱,B选项正确;从第一段 “Today was no exception(今天也不例外)” 和第四段“I pushed my room door open and saw damage!(我推开房门,看到一片狼藉!)”可知作者的房间今天像往常一样凌乱,C 选项正确;根据第二段“Yesterday, around the mouth of my favorite figurine (小雕像) was a chocolate cookie. Obviously, Callie had enjoyed the cookie so much that she wanted to share it with my angel(昨天,我最喜欢的小雕像嘴边有一块巧克力饼干。显然,卡莉太喜欢这块饼干了,以至于她想和我的小雕像分享)”可知小雕像不是作者妹妹最喜欢的玩具,而是作者喜欢的,D选项错误。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“There were a few headless dolls, some broken blocks, and a few juice-stained stuffed animals.(有几个没了头的玩偶,一些破碎的积木,还有几个沾满果汁的毛绒玩具)”体现了她的淘气;但最后妹妹开心地从沙发上跳下来抱住作者膝盖等举动,又能看出她的可爱,所以作者的妹妹是淘气又可爱的。故选B项。

Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.
Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
8. The examples in Paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that ________.
A. transportation and communication networks bring people together
B. it’s important to prevent people from transporting and communicating
C. people made it difficult for themselves to transport and communicate
D. natural barriers mainly influenced transportation and communication
9. How is the 2nd paragraph mainly organized?
A. By listing several facts. B. By listing several figures.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.
10. Which of the following may lead to people’s less communication between countries?
A. People today have the ability to travel without any of the barriers.
B. The governments can’t reach agreement each other on big issues.
C. Citizens of some countries aren’t good at exchanging news or ideas.
D. Countries require their citizens to keep all the information secret.
11. We may learn from the passage that ________.
A. people can not remove the obstacles made by nature and themselves
B. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
C. with so many barriers, people can’t travel and exchange goods and ideas
D. natural barriers have always been difficult and dangerous to cross for us
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了存在于各个国家和区域之间的各种沟通障碍,有天然,更多是人为的。先进的科技手段可以帮助人们克服天然障碍,但是却无法逾越人为障碍。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication.(然而,有时人们自己创建运输和通讯障碍。)”可知,第一段是为了告诉读者人为障碍阻碍人际交流。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.(各国在边境设立了海关。外国旅客在获准入境前必须经过海关检查。通常游客必须携带特殊文件如护照和签证。一些国家甚至限制每年到他们国家的游客数量。其他国家只允许游客访问该国的某些地区,或者他们可能会要求游客在逗留期间一直有官方导游陪同。)”可知,本段主要列出了各种人为造成的交通与交流障碍的事实。可知,通过列举一些事实展开论述。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely.(当两国政府在重要问题上发生冲突时,他们通常不希望本国公民自由交换消息或观点。)”可知,两国政府无法在重大问题上达成一致,导致国与国之间人们的交流越来越少。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome.(一百年前难以跨越的自然屏障现在可以轻松跨越。但是人们自己制造的障碍不是那么容易克服的。)” 可知,人为障碍有时比自然障碍更难克服。故选B。
D
Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
12. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study?
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
13. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study?
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
14. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should EI be taught in school?
B. How can students develop high EI?
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现,情商高,即能够有效管理自己情绪的学生,在学业上表现得更好。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.”(让研究人员最惊奇的是情商和学习成绩的关系对任何年龄的学生都适用)可知,情商对所有年龄段的学生的学习都有影响。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.”(最后,根据MacCann的说法,情商所需的技能,如理解人类动机和情绪,可能与掌握某些科目所需的技巧重叠,如历史和语言,使学生在这些科目领域具有优势。)可知,情商高的学生成绩更好,其中一个原因是他们所具有的技能(如理解人类动机和情感),与掌握某些学科(如历史和语言)所需的技能重叠,因此在这些学科领域具有优势。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills”(她建议采取涉及整个学校的干预措施,包括额外的教师培训和关注教师的幸福感和情感技能)以及“training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists”(由教师而不是外部专家进行培训效果更好)可知,MacCann建议要培养教师的情商培养技能。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段“Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.”(美国心理学会发表的一项研究表明,能够更好地理解和有效管理自己情绪的学生,即情商(EI),在学校的表现比那些情商较低的同学要好)可知,本文主要讲述了情商高的学生学业表现更好,故C项“高情商的学生在学校表现更好”作标题最为恰当。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述随着寒假的来临,希望青少年多进行体育锻炼,为新学期充电,介绍青少年参加一些适合年轻人的体育运动和课程。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:随着寒假的来临,许多青少年正在计划他们的假期锻炼计划。分析文章整体时态是现在时可知,此处时态用现在进行时或者一般现在时,表示“随着寒假的来临”,主语winter vacation是第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故填is approaching/approaches。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:青少年似乎已经意识到,锻炼是最简单和最有益的方式之一,用这种方式,他们可以充满活力,当他们变老,可以保护他们免受一系列疾病。beneficial“有益的,有好处的”,形容词修饰名词作定语,故填beneficial。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:青少年似乎已经意识到,锻炼是最简单和最有益的方式之一,用这种方式,他们可以充满活力,当他们变老保护他们免受一系列疾病。protect... from/against “保护……以免……”是固定短语,根据句意,故填from/against。
【39题详解】
考查不定式。句意:为了提高心肺效率,慢跑和游泳听起来是明智的选择。根据句意,“为了提高心肺功能”为目的状语,此处用不定式表目的。故填To improve。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:为了提高心肺效率,慢跑和游泳听起来是明智的选择。根据句意,此处表示“慢跑和游泳”两种选择,用复数,故填choices。
【41题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:此外,青少年可以参加为年轻人设计的课程,包括拳击或嘻哈舞。分析句子可知,design作定语,修饰courses,“为年轻人设计的课程”,此处courses是被设计,course与design是被动关系,用过去分词表被动,故填designed。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:除了做些适合青少年做的运动,均衡的饮食与充足的睡眠也是很重要的。分析句子可知,此句为一个定语从句,先行词为sports,指物,在从句中作主语,用关系代词that或者which。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意同上。文章主时态是一般现在时,主语为a balanced diet and adequate sleep,是复数,故后接的be动词应用复数形式are。故填are。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:要想充分发挥自己的潜力,需要强健的体魄和健全的精神,所以请大家好好利用这个寒假,为新学期充电。修饰动词realize用副词作状语,故填fully。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:要想充分发挥自己的潜力,需要强健的体魄和健全的精神,所以请大家好好利用这个寒假,为新学期充电。根据句意,前后文是顺承关系,用连接词and,表示利用寒假,为新学期充电。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Every time Jim crossed the street on his way to work, he would see a little girl selling flowers on the street. She sat by a large green board with the names of the flowers and their prices on it. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her, and she rarely sold anything. Jim wanted to help her, and one day he got his chance. His aunt would retire, and he thought a bouquet (花束) would be a great gift.
“Hello, could you please make me a bouquet of roses?” Jim said as he approached the girl.
The girl didn’t raise her head and just stared at the same spot on the ground. “I’m Cassy. Thank you for buying flowers from me,” she said. “Could you please select the flowers by yourself and give them to me? I will tie them together for you. I can’t see. ”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jim said as he picked the flowers and handed them to her. Within several seconds, the girl made a lovely bouquet for Jim.
“Here,” she said, holding the bouquet. “That’ll be $5.”
“Thanks. They’re beautiful,” Jim said and walked away after placing the money in the hat beside Cassy.
The next day, Jim went to work and he decided to have a quick talk with Cassy on the way. However, he didn’t see Cassy where she used to be that morning. He thought she might be late and decided to meet her the next day, but she didn’t show up for the next few days in a row (连续地).
Jim was concerned about Cassy, wondering if something bad had happened to Cassy. Surprisingly, he finally met Cassy again on the street with her flowers.
Paragraph 1:
Jim was so delighted to see Cassy that he ran to her at once.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Jim then drove Cassy to her home, where he met her sick mother, Jade.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Jim was so delighted to see Cassy that he ran to her at once. However, to his shock, Cassy seemed tired and pale. He approached her worriedly. “Cassy, what happened to you? Do you still remember me?” “The one who bought roses?” “Yes, that’s me. I’m worried about you. You haven’t been here for days.” “Well, I am okay,” she said. “Mom suffered from an illness, and I had to look after her. She needs surgery (手术), so I have to work harder to earn more money.” Jim listened, and tears welled up in his eyes. He told Cassy that he wanted to visit her mother, and Cassy agreed.
Jim then drove to her home, where he met her sick mother, Jade. Jim noticed the poor conditions they were living in and decided to do something to help them. He posted their story online and many people offered help. Thanks to Jim and those kind-hearted people, Cassy’s mother underwent surgery and finally recovered. On the day Jade was discharged from hospital, Jim bought a bouquet for her from Cassy. Jim hoped they could live a happy life with love.
【解析】
【分析】本文讲述了一位小女孩每日在街角卖花,吉姆想要帮助她,而后在他阿姨即将退休时,找到了买花的机会,从而得知,这位女孩是一位盲人,然后想要和她说些什么,却惊讶的发现女孩很长一段时间没来了,担心了一段时间后,惊讶地发现女孩又出现了,于是了解情况得知她母亲生病了,而后帮助她及其家人的故事。
详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“吉姆很高兴见到凯西,立刻奔向她。”可知,第一段可描写吉姆向凯西询问这些天发生了什么,以及由第二段首句内容“吉姆开车驾驶到凯西家,在家里看到了他生病的母亲。”可推知这些天发生在凯西身上的事情。故该段还可以写凯西身上所发生的事。
②由第二段首句内容“吉姆开车驾驶到凯西家,在家里看到了他生病的母亲。”可知,第二段可描写吉姆看到了这样的情况是如何帮助她们的。
2.续写线索:得知凯西母亲生病——去了解情况——安慰且帮助她们——母亲情况好转——幸福生活
3.词汇激活行为类
决定:decide/determine
出现:show up/appear
注意:notice/observe

I felt anxious when going into my room from school. Every day, my room was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my peaceful harbor. Today was no exception.
As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. But I was still doubtful about it. Yesterday, around the mouth of my favorite figurine (小雕像) was a chocolate cookie. Obviously, Callie had enjoyed the cookie so much that she wanted to share it with my angel.
I looked around for Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her, but I heard the TV blaring (发出声音) in the other room. As I examined the family room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all over the floor, but none of them seemed to be mine. Maybe she hadn't entered today. I was so hopeful that I breathed a sigh of relief.
I pushed my room door open and saw damage! There were a few headless dolls, some broken blocks, and a few juice-stained stuffed animals. “She did it again!” I screamed in anger. My mother ran up to me, embarrassed. She promised to put a Callie-proof lock on my door tonight. I felt better, because I knew that soon my room would truly belong to me. However, I was still angry with my little sister so I went into the family room to tell her how she had made life unpleasant for me. “Callie... ” I started. “Hooray!” she shouted.
She leaped off the sofa and hugged my knees with such happiness that I could only look down at her and smile. After all, she was only three and learning about the world in her own way. And she always chose to explore and destroy my room because she loved me, her big sister.
4. Which of the following statements is not true?

Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.
Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
8. The examples in Paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that ________.
A. transportation and communication networks bring people together
B. it’s important to prevent people from transporting and communicating
C. people made it difficult for themselves to transport and communicate
D. natural barriers mainly influenced transportation and communication
9. How is the 2nd paragraph mainly organized?
A. By listing several facts. B. By listing several figures.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.
10. Which of the following may lead to people’s less communication between countries?
A. People today have the ability to travel without any of the barriers.
B. The governments can’t reach agreement each other on big issues.
C Citizens of some countries aren’t good at exchanging news or ideas.
D. Countries require their citizens to keep all the information secret.
11. We may learn from the passage that ________.
A. people can not remove the obstacles made by nature and themselves
B. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
C. with so many barriers, people can’t travel and exchange goods and ideas
D. natural barriers have always been difficult and dangerous to cross for us
D
Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
12. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study?
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
13. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study?
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
14. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.

Every time Jim crossed the street on his way to work, he would see a little girl selling flowers on the street. She sat by a large green board with the names of the flowers and their prices on it. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her, and she rarely sold anything. Jim wanted to help her, and one day he got his chance. His aunt would retire, and he thought a bouquet (花束) would be a great gift.
“Hello, could you please make me a bouquet of roses?” Jim said as he approached the girl.
The girl didn’t raise her head and just stared at the same spot on the ground. “I’m Cassy. Thank you for buying flowers from me,” she said. “Could you please select the flowers by yourself and give them to me? I will tie them together for you. I can’t see. ”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jim said as he picked the flowers and handed them to her. Within several seconds, the girl made a lovely bouquet for Jim.
“Here,” she said, holding the bouquet. “That’ll be $5.”
“Thanks. They’re beautiful,” Jim said and walked away after placing the money in the hat beside Cassy.
The next day, Jim went to work and he decided to have a quick talk with Cassy on the way. However, he didn’t see Cassy where she used to be that morning. He thought she might be late and decided to meet her the next day, but she didn’t show up for the next few days in a row (连续地).
Jim was concerned about Cassy, wondering if something bad had happened to Cassy. Surprisingly, he finally met Cassy again on the street with her flowers.
Paragraph 1:
Jim was so delighted to see Cassy that he ran to her at once.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Jim then drove Cassy to her home, where he met her sick mother, Jade.
