After a month of fires that gave off record-breaking amounts of polluting gas, smoke from Siberian wildfires is now making its way to the west coast of the United States.
The New York Times’ Somini Sengupta reports that Arctic wildfires in June 2020 caused more pollution than the data (数据) that had been collected in the previous 18 years. Seasonal wildfires are common in Siberia but this year’s fires are unusually widespread in part because of a climate change-driven heatwave. The Arctic is experiencing climate change-driven warming faster than the rest of the earth, which sets up the dry conditions that make fires spread.
“I was surprised to see a fire burning 10 kilometers south of a bay of the Laptev Sea, which is like, the sea ice factory of the world,” said fire researcher Jessica McCarty from Miami University in Ohio. “When I went into fire science as an undergraduate student, if someone had told me I’d be studying fire regimes (管强体制) in Greenland and the Arctic, I would have laughed at them.”
This June’s Arctic fires beat the pollution record set in 2019, said Mark Parrington, who works with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service tracking worldwide wildfires. Some of the fires may have spent the winter months smoldering (闷燃) only to grow again in warmer weather. And the weather has certainly gotten warmer. In June, a Russian town above the Arctic circle called Verkhoyansk hit a high temperature of 100,4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The current situation in the Arctic circle shows that previous predictions (预测) “underestimate what is going on in reality,” earth scientist Vladmir Romanovsky sold. He added that temperature observation in the High Arctic made in the last 15 years weren’t expected for another seventy years.
Millions of acres of land are on fire this wildfire season. Most of the wildfires are located in Siberia’s Sakha Republic, which sees wildfires frequently, but fires are also spreading further north and into unusual ecosystems, like those that are characterized by permafrost (永冻土).
24. What made 2020 Arctic wildfires extremely widespread?
A. The warmer climate. B. Stronger seasonal winds.
C. More fires caused by humans. D. Humans’ poorer control of them.
25. What did Jessica McCarty want to say in paragraph 3?
A. She used to laugh at those who studied the Arctic.
B. She had decided to be a firefighter in Greenland.
C. She used to think fires rarely happened in the Arctic.
D. She had shown little interest in studying fire science.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. The Arctic fires may go out in winter.
B. 2020 Arctic fires may be related to those in 2019.
C. The pollution record in the Arctic is broken each year.
D. 2020 Arctic fires affected temperatures across Russia.
27. What can the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 5 be best replaced by?
A. Refer to. B. Focus on. C. Judge incorrectly D. Ignore completely.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” When it comes to device addiction this may very well be the case. If you believe that how you engage with your smartphone has no impact on your children, think again.
One study looked at 200 families and noted that the children of parents with phone addictions were much more likely to have behavior issues. In short, this obsession led to “technoference” or interruption of everyday interactions between parents and kids. In some cases, this interruption happened in face-to-face conversations, and in other cases, the devices disrupted playtime or meals. When this type of “technoference” occurred, parents rated their children as displaying more behavior problems, including whining, losing temper, sulking (生闷气), and becoming frustrated.
In addition, according to children development experts, there are bilateral (双边的) signaling systems that occur between adults and children, aiding the construction of the basic architecture of the brain. For example, infants and toddlers are highly engaged with the vocal cues of their parents that tend to happen with simplified grammar, a high-pitched tone, and exaggerated enthusiasm. This mode of relational conversation is incredibly important to a child’s development.
With the arrival of smartphones, many parents are distracted and stuck in what experts are calling “continuous partial attention” mode. This leads to significant and recurring disruptions to the parent-child conversation flow, which can impair not only a child’s language learning ability but also their school achievements overall.
While your habit may seem harmless, your kids may actually be imitating your behavior and forming a dependence of their own. One study reported that some teenagers may spend up to 12 hours — half of an entire day — online and mindlessly swiping through social media apps without engaging in any one piece of content beyond a few seconds.
As a parent, the best thing you can do is lead by example. Try to limit time spent with technology, especially when it diverts (牵制) your attention from other priorities. Shut down smartphones at dinner. Set aside phone-free time each day to engage with your children without the distraction that technology brings. While you may not be able to completely cut ties with new modes of communication, you can be sure that your children get the one-on-one time they need to develop into healthy, happy adults.
28. Which is TRUE according to the studies in the passage?
A. Parents rate their children’s behavior at parent-children time interruptions.
B. Children’s poor school achievements are due to their addiction to social media.
C. The more engagement of parents, the better development of speech in children.
D. Children imitate parents’ behavior but form their own harmless habits.
29. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To further scientifically explain a child’s behavioral problem.
B. To give an argument for the problem of a child’s language learning ability.
C. To support the argument for a child’s addiction to devices.
D. To present background information for the topic of the passage.
30. In what tone does the writer speak to parents in the last paragraph?
A. Disrespectful. B. Apologetic.
C. Negative. D. Friendly.
31. Why does the writer start the passage with the quote “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”?
A. To stress children will follow parents’ example.
B. To provide evidence of device addiction.
C. To show the close bond between parent and children.
D. To highlight the final solution to device addiction.

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“This mode of relational conversation is incredibly important to a child’s development.(这种关系对话模式对孩子的成长非常重要)”以及联系上文内容的科学根据、举例可知,家长的参与越多,孩子的语言能力发展越好。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“In addition, according to children development experts, there are bilateral signaling systems that occur between adults and children, aiding the construction of the basic architecture of the brain. For example, infants and toddlers are highly engaged with the vocal cues of their parents that tend to happen with simplified grammar, a high-pitched tone, and exaggerated enthusiasm.(此外,根据儿童发展专家的说法,在成人和儿童之间存在着双边信号系统,帮助构建大脑的基本结构。例如,婴幼儿高度关注父母的声音提示,这往往发生在简化的语法,高音,和夸张的热情)”可知,第三段的作用是为下一段进一步证明父母设备上瘾对孩子语言能力发展影响的一个论据。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“As a parent, the best thing you can do is lead by example.(作为父母,你能做的最好的事情就是以身作则)”以及本段内容可知,最后一段作者对设备上瘾的家长语重心长,真诚友好地规劝,希望它们为孩子创造不受设备干扰的环境,确保孩子的健康成长,说话语气友好。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“If you believe that how you engage with your smartphone has no impact on your children, think again.(如果你认为你使用智能手机的方式不会对你的孩子产生影响,那么再想想吧)”可知,作者用这个引语引入话题,是为了突出文章话题:父母手机成瘾对孩子的负面影响,孩子反过来会效仿父母。由此可知,其目的是为了强调孩子会以父母为榜样。故选A项。
★D
We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world of unfamiliar styles to explore. The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all ages. Except, most of the time, it doesn’t. Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age.
Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon. Until around the age of 11, children are generally happy to engage with unfamiliar music. Early adolescence sees a reduction in open-earedness, but is accompanied by an intense increase in interest in music more generally. Open-earedness increases slightly during young adulthood, and then declines as we age.
A major study involving more than 250,000 participants confirmed these changing behaviors. It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood.
Researchers have different theories to account for these trends. One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people.
Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation. Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles. Adults have developed personalities and established social groups. As such, drivers to engage with new music are lessened.
Some researchers argue that we shouldn’t use a person’s age to predict if their musical taste will stay the same, without first thinking about how we enjoy and use music at different stages of our lives. Teenagers tend to be very aware of what they are listening to. Adults who use music as motivation or accompaniment for activities such as exercise or household chores may be less conscious of the extent to which they actually do listen to new music.
32. What does the term “open-earedness” refer to in the passage?
A. The ability to play music.
B. The willingness to explore new music.
C. The interest in music during adolescence.
D. The significance of music in daily life.
33. According to the study, how does the amount of music listened to change as we age?
A. It remains consistent throughout life.
B. It increases from childhood to adulthood.
C. It peaks during adolescence and then decreases.
D. It gradually declines from childhood to adulthood.
34. What factor is suggested as one cause for a reduced interest in new music as people age?
A. An increase in hearing sharpness.
B. Less spare time due to responsibilities.
C. An intense decrease in interest in music.
D. Changes in personality and social groups.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Music Consumption: A Lifelong Journey.
B. Factors Influencing Music Engagement in Adults.
C. Adolescents and Music: Identity and Exploration.
D. Decline of Open-Earedness: Age Affects Music Exploration.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了探索新的陌生音乐的意愿会随着年龄的增长而下降这一现象并分析了其原因。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age.(我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降。)”和第二段“Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon.(学者们创造了“open-earedness”一词来描述这种现象。)”可知,open-earedness指的是探索新音乐的意愿。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood.(研究还表明,我们在青春期之后对音乐的重视程度会下降,我们听音乐的数量也会从青春期时占清醒时间的20%的高点下降到成年后的13%。)”可知,研究表明,听音乐的数量在青春期达到顶峰,然后下降。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people.(一种对基于年龄的音乐消费量减少的解释简单地假设,承担责任的成年人可能比年轻人有更少的自由时间来探索他们的音乐兴趣。)”可知,随着年龄的增长,人们对新音乐的兴趣下降的一个原因是由于责任而导致的空闲时间减少。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age.(我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降。)”和第二段Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon.(学者们创造了“open-earedness”一词来描述这种现象。)”和以及下文内容可知,本文介绍了一项研究,研究表明,我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降,学者们创造了open-earedness一词来描述这种现象,并解释了导致这种现象的原因。由此可知,D.

考查冠词。句意:创始人陈丽娜将蟹肉巧妙地分成八部分,包括蟹肉、蟹黄和蟹膏,确保食客能体验到每一部分的独特味道——这是屋有鲜餐厅引以为傲的品质。此处quality是同位语,表示“这样一种……的品质”,且该词的发音是辅音音素开头,所以应填a。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查固定句式。句意:“我不仅把小笼包当作自己的孩子,也当作艺术品;它们是我的生命,”国家一级点心厨师陈说。句子使用了“Not only... but (also)...”的结构,表示“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:她强调说,尽管小笼包可能很小,但它们却蕴含着美食风味的世界。flavor作“风味,味道”讲时,是可数名词,由a world of(表示“大量的”)可知,此处应用复数形式。故填flavors。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:“在对这座城市进行了彻底的探索之后,我们的检查员很高兴地看到,当地餐馆的数量越来越多,特别是在上海菜领域,上海菜很好地平衡了历史和现代。” 空处修饰名词number应用形容词,所给动词increase的形容词形式为increasing,作定语,意为“越来越多的”。故填increasing。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意“在对这座城市进行了彻底的探索之后,我们的检查员很高兴地看到,当地餐馆的数量越来越多,特别是在上海菜领域,上海菜很好地平衡了历史和现代。”此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Shanghainese cuisine,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:“从深受人们喜爱的小笼包和点心,到复杂的宫廷菜肴,上海的餐饮场景一直是文化丰富和烹饪创新的象征,”米其林指南国际总监格温达尔·普伦尼克说。根据句意可知,此处表示“从……到……”,应用介词短语from…to…。故填to。

Hello, everyone!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Hello everyone! If I could travel back to ancient times with one modern item, I’d bring a solar-powered flashlight. It is a lighting device where the solar panel converts light into electricity for storage when exposed to sunlight. In ancient times, lighting methods were often confined to torches, candles, or oil lamps, which were inconvenient and fire-prone. A solar-powered flashlight would offer a clean and durable light source, lessening the dependence on flammable materials. This would allow ancient people to undertake more activities, like traveling at night or working in dark areas. Just picture how astonished people would be to witness such a practical device! Thank you!

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Word spread that Derek Rodgers, who had Down’s Syndrome (唐氏综合征), wanted to attend the Homecoming Dance (返校日舞会).
I, a new journalist for the Campus News, was curious who would be his dance partner and decided to cover his story. When I accompanied him on the way home one day, we were approached by Kelsey Stuart, a popular student.
“Derek, I’d like to ask you to the Dance,” she smiled.
Derek was shocked. He couldn’t believe that one of the prettiest girls in school was asking him.
Derek’s face went red. “Why me?” he asked, “And shouldn’t boys be the ones to do the asking?”
“I doubt you would, after all the rough experiences you’ve had. And we actually have more in common than you think. We both really want to go to the Dance. And we are not like those who are only concerned about personal appearance.”
“But what do you see in me? How can I be the sort of guy you want to go with?”
“I know you are a gentleman and you’ll treat me like a lady and I’ll feel safe with you,” she said, leaving with a smile.
The entire school went crazy when they learned that Kelsey was Derek’s dance partner.
At first there were words that were not so nice about them. Their classmate, Billy, made fun of them by giving them stupid names. Betty, Kelsey’s best friend, stopped hanging out with her because she couldn’t understand her choice at all.
Despite the words around, every day after school, the two still stayed behind to practice their dance routine. Kelsey patiently taught Derek how to lead the steps, move to the beat of the music and spin (旋转) with elegance. Slowly but surely, they improved their dancing together.
The day of the Dance arrived. Kelsey got into a new dress and Derek put on a well-cut suit.

Finally, the two getting ready, the Dance began. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the Dance, students gathered around Kelsey and Derek. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Finally, the two getting ready, the Dance began. The gymnasium, decorated with lights and decorations, was alive with excitement. As Kelsey and Derek entered, a hush fell over the crowd. The music started, and they took to the floor. Derek, guided by Kelsey’s gentle cues, moved with a confidence that surprised many. Their dance was a graceful blend of elegance and joy, far from the clumsy steps everyone had anticipated. With each spin and step, they drew cheers and applause from their classmates. By the end of their dance, they had not only captivated the audience but also broken the doubts and prejudices that had clouded the air before.
After the Dance, students gathered around Kelsey and Derek. Their faces showed admiration and respect. What began as quiet whispers of surprise soon erupted into cheers of praise. Billy, who had earlier teased them, approached with an awkward smile, sincerely extending an apology to both. Even Betty, Kelsey’s best friend, was there, tears glistening in her eyes as she hugged Kelsey tightly, expressing her regret for doubting her choice. The night ended not just with a successful dance, but with transformed attitudes and newfound respect among peers. It was a night that Derek, Kelsey, and all their classmates would remember as a beautiful testament to acceptance and the power of kindness.

After a month of fires that gave off record-breaking amounts of polluting gas, smoke from Siberian wildfires is now making its way to the west coast of the United States.
The New York Times’ Somini Sengupta reports that Arctic wildfires in June 2020 caused more pollution than the data (数据) that had been collected in the previous 18 years. Seasonal wildfires are common in Siberia, but this year’s fires are unusually widespread in part because of a climate change-driven heatwave. The Arctic is experiencing climate change-driven warming faster than the rest of the earth, which sets up the dry conditions that make fires spread.
“I was surprised to see a fire burning 10 kilometers south of a bay of the Laptev Sea, which is like, the sea ice factory of the world,” said fire researcher Jessica McCarty from Miami University in Ohio. “When I went into fire science as an undergraduate student, if someone had told me I’d be studying fire regimes (管强体制) in Greenland and the Arctic, I would have laughed at them.”
This June’s Arctic fires beat the pollution record set in 2019, said Mark Parrington, who works with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service tracking worldwide wildfires. Some of the fires may have spent the winter months smoldering (闷燃) only to grow again in warmer weather. And the weather has certainly gotten warmer. In June, a Russian town above the Arctic circle called Verkhoyansk hit a high temperature of 100,4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The current situation in the Arctic circle shows that previous predictions (预测) “underestimate what is going on in reality,” earth scientist Vladmir Romanovsky sold. He added that temperature observation in the High Arctic made in the last 15 years weren’t expected for another seventy years.
Millions of acres of land are on fire this wildfire season. Most of the wildfires are located in Siberia’s Sakha Republic which sees wildfires frequently, but fires are also spreading further north and into unusual ecosystems, like those that are characterized by permafrost (永冻土).
24. What made 2020 Arctic wildfires extremely widespread?
A. The warmer climate. B. Stronger seasonal winds.
C. More fires caused by humans. D. Humans’ poorer control of them.
25. What did Jessica McCarty want to say in paragraph 3?
A. She used to laugh at those who studied the Arctic.
B. She had decided to be a firefighter in Greenland.
C. She used to think fires rarely happened in the Arctic.
D. She had shown little interest in studying fire science.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. The Arctic fires may go out in winter.
B. 2020 Arctic fires may be related to those in 2019.
C. The pollution record in the Arctic is broken each year.
D. 2020 Arctic fires affected temperatures across Russia.
27. What can the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 5 be best replaced by?
A. Refer to. B. Focus on. C. Judge incorrectly D. Ignore completely.
★C
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” When it comes to device addiction, this may very well be the case. If you believe that how you engage with your smartphone has no impact on your children, think again.
One study looked at 200 families and noted that the children of parents with phone addictions were much more likely to have behavior issues. In short, this obsession led to “technoference” or interruption of everyday interactions between parents and kids. In some cases, this interruption happened in face-to-face conversations, and in other cases, the devices disrupted playtime or meals. When this type of “technoference” occurred, parents rated their children as displaying more behavior problems, including whining, losing temper, sulking (生闷气), and becoming frustrated.
In addition, according to children development experts, there are bilateral (双边的) signaling systems that occur between adults and children, aiding the construction of the basic architecture of the brain. For example, infants and toddlers are highly engaged with the vocal cues of their parents that tend to happen with simplified grammar, a high-pitched tone, and exaggerated enthusiasm. This mode of relational conversation is incredibly important to a child’s development.
With the arrival of smartphones, many parents are distracted and stuck in what experts are calling “continuous partial attention” mode. This leads to significant and recurring disruptions to the parent-child conversation flow, which can impair not only a child’s language learning ability but also their school achievements overall.
While your habit may seem harmless, your kids may actually be imitating your behavior and forming a dependence of their own. One study reported that some teenagers may spend up to 12 hours — half of an entire day — online and mindlessly swiping through social media apps without engaging in any one piece of content beyond a few seconds.
As a parent, the best thing you can do is lead by example. Try to limit time spent with technology, especially when it diverts (牵制) your attention from other priorities. Shut down smartphones at dinner. Set aside phone-free time each day to engage with your children without the distraction that technology brings. While you may not be able to completely cut ties with new modes of communication, you can be sure that your children get the one-on-one time they need to develop into healthy, happy adults.
28. Which is TRUE according to the studies in the passage?
A. Parents rate their children’s behavior at parent-children time interruptions.
B. Children’s poor school achievements are due to their addiction to social media.
C. The more engagement of parents, the better development of speech in children.
D. Children imitate parents’ behavior but form their own harmless habits.
29. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A To further scientifically explain a child’s behavioral problem.
B. To give an argument for the problem of a child’s language learning ability.
C. To support the argument for a child’s addiction to devices.
D. To present background information for the topic of the passage.
30. In what tone does the writer speak to parents in the last paragraph?
A. Disrespectful. B. Apologetic.
C. Negative. D. Friendly.
31. Why does the writer start the passage with the quote “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”?
A. To stress children will follow parents’ example.
B. To provide evidence of device addiction.
C. To show the close bond between parent and children.
D. To highlight the final solution to device addiction.
★D
We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world of unfamiliar styles to explore. The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all ages. Except, most of the time, it doesn’t. Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age.
Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon. Until around the age of 11, children are generally happy to engage with unfamiliar music. Early adolescence sees a reduction in open-earedness, but is accompanied by an intense increase in interest in music more generally. Open-earedness increases slightly during young adulthood, and then declines as we age.
A major study involving more than 250,000 participants confirmed these changing behaviors. It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood.
Researchers have different theories to account for these trends. One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people.
Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation. Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles. Adults have developed personalities and established social groups. As such, drivers to engage with new music are lessened.
Some researchers argue that we shouldn’t use a person’s age to predict if their musical taste will stay the same, without first thinking about how we enjoy and use music at different stages of our lives. Teenagers tend to be very aware of what they are listening to. Adults who use music as motivation or accompaniment for activities such as exercise or household chores may be less conscious of the extent to which they actually do listen to new music.
32. What does the term “open-earedness” refer to in the passage?
A. The ability to play music.
B. The willingness to explore new music.
C. The interest in music during adolescence.
D. The significance of music in daily life.
33. According to the study, how does the amount of music listened to change as we age?
A. It remains consistent throughout life.
B. It increases from childhood to adulthood.
C. It peaks during adolescence and then decreases.
D. It gradually declines from childhood to adulthood.
34. What factor is suggested as one cause for a reduced interest in new music as people age?
A. An increase in hearing sharpness.
B. Less spare time due to responsibilities.
C. An intense decrease in interest in music.
D. Changes in personality and social groups.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Music Consumption: A Lifelong Journey.
B. Factors Influencing Music Engagement in Adults.
C. Adolescents and Music: Identity and Exploration.
D. Decline of Open-Earedness: Age Affects Music Exploration.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Word spread that Derek Rodgers, who had Down’s Syndrome (唐氏综合征), wanted to attend the Homecoming Dance (返校日舞会).
I, a new journalist for the Campus News, was curious who would be his dance partner and decided to cover his story. When I accompanied him on the way home one day, we were approached by Kelsey Stuart, a popular student.
“Derek, I’d like to ask you to the Dance,” she smiled.
Derek was shocked. He couldn’t believe that one of the prettiest girls in school was asking him.
Derek’s face went red. “Why me?” he asked, “And shouldn’t boys be the ones to do the asking?”
“I doubt you would, after all the rough experiences you’ve had. And we actually have more in common than you think. We both really want to go to the Dance. And we are not like those who are only concerned about personal appearance.”
“But what do you see in me? How can I be the sort of guy you want to go with?”
“I know you are a gentleman and you’ll treat me like a lady and I’ll feel safe with you,” she said, leaving with a smile.
The entire school went crazy when they learned that Kelsey was Derek’s dance partner.
At first there were words that were not so nice about them. Their classmate, Billy, made fun of them by giving them stupid names. Betty, Kelsey’s best friend, stopped hanging out with her because she couldn’t understand her choice at all.
Despite the words around, every day after school, the two still stayed behind to practice their dance routine. Kelsey patiently taught Derek how to lead the steps, move to the beat of the music and spin (旋转) with elegance. Slowly but surely, they improved their dancing together.
The day of the Dance arrived. Kelsey got into a new dress and Derek put on a well-cut suit.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, the two getting ready, the Dance began. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the Dance, students gathered around Kelsey and Derek. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
