A series of well-designed performances caught students’ eye, showcasing the elaborate hanfu clothing and graceful dance. Besides, an exhibition on hanfu history and culture was given by our history teacher, whose introduction gave us a deeper insight into our traditional culture. We viewers also took part in the hands-on activity through which we got the unforgettable experience of wearing and making hanfu. The event turned out to be a great success, as it not only enabled us to derive a thorough comprehension of the clothing culture, but also promoted our appreciation of the unique charm of Chinese traditional culture. 读后续写 That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train. With his eyes fixed on the window, Aamir put all his strength in his right hand and made a powerful throw. However, he abruptly fell off because of the broken flip-flop. Without a second thought, he tried again, the shoe just flew past the window frame and fell on the platform like a dead leaf. Seeing this, Aamir stamped his feet, wearing a frustrated look. “Are shoes really made for walking?” Aamir thought with depression. He drooped his head, not knowing what to do next. To his surprise, Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window. Miraculously, it landed on the platform several steps away from him. Before he could look up again and seek out the fancy-shoe boy, the train sped on, vanishing in the distance. What remained in sight was the meandering rail track and the rolling mountains far away. Twenty years later, when he was launching his new footwear product at a press conference, wearing a pair of shining leather shoes, Aamir started his presentation with a simple sentence: “Shoes are made for walking.” A篇【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个你可能会感兴趣的俱乐部。 21. 细节理解题。根据Chinese Culture Club中的“you’re just required to have a true interest in the Chinese way of life(你只需要对中国人的生活方式有真正的兴趣)”可知，如果你想加入中国文化俱乐部，你只需对中国人的生活方式感兴趣。故选D。 22. 细节理解题。根据Science Club中的“Members of Science Club meet on Thursdays from 3:00 pm-4:00 pm in Room 702, with Mr Underriner.( 科学俱乐部的成员每周四下午3点到4点在702房间与安德里纳先生会面。)”可知，如果你每周四下午三点到四点有空，你可以去科学俱乐部，故选B。 23. 细节理解题。根据Chorus (合唱队)中的“The Chorus is an opportunity for students to sharpen their vocal (发声的) skills and overcome stage fright.(合唱团是一个机会，让学生提高他们的声乐技巧，克服怯场。)”和“Meet after school on Thursdays with Mr. Copeland in Room 602.( 每周四放学后和科普兰先生在602房间见面。)”可知，科普兰先生的俱乐部最适合想掌握唱歌技巧的学生，故选C。 B篇【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。 26．推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。 C篇本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.(与此同时，牛奶和鸡蛋等必需品被放在商店的后面，以确保顾客走过其他走道，那里有许多不健康的选择，如零食和苏打水，这可能会增加冲动购买的可能性。)”可知，超市布局的目的是促进非必要消费。故选D。 29．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. (他们非常清楚，在你逛了几次店，对所有东西的位置有了更好的了解之后，这些策略就会变得不那么有效，所以他们会定期把产品挪到不同的通道，让你感到困惑。)”以及后文“is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”可知，“定期在超市重新摆放产品”的做法并不局限于特定的商店，而是在各种零售连锁店中使用。故划线词意思是“定期在超市重新摆放产品”。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me (这就是为什么我总是随身带着购物清单)”可知，带购物清单是避免冲动购物的明智之举。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it. (你有没有想过超市的普遍布局？聪明的设计师在背后巧妙地引诱你走过每一个通道，在你没有意识到的情况下装满你的购物。车)”结合文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。可知，文章选自一本商业杂志。故选A。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项新的研究发现，经常打电话、把手机举到右耳的青少年在一种记忆测试中得分更低，这种记忆损伤可能是手机辐射的副作用所导致。同时说明了研究的过程以及影响受到辐射程度的因素。 32．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test.(在一项记忆力测试中，经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前的青少年得分更低。)”可知，手机辐射会造成记忆的损伤。故可推测划线单词impairment的意思为“破坏，损坏”，和damage意思相近。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory.(这些青少年进行了两次记忆测试，间隔一年。近700名瑞士青少年参加了一项数字记忆测试。)”和“The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory.(参与研究的志愿者还进行了口头记忆测试。)”可知，这些青少年总共接受了四次两种类型的记忆测试。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.(处理形状记忆能力的部位在右耳附近。)”可知，根据这项研究，使用手机对着右耳的青少年在记忆形状方面做得更差。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test.(在一项记忆力测试中，经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前的青少年得分更低。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究发现，经常将手机举到右耳前打电话的青少年在图形记忆测试中的得分较低，这一现象可能与手机辐射对大脑右侧记忆中心的潜在影响有关，因此本文最好的题目是D选项“Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems(青少年使用手机与记忆问题有关)”。故选D。 七选五 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了几个针对高中生的有效学习技巧，旨在帮助他们为期末考试或日常测验做好充分准备。 36．空后“These high school study tips will get you in the right direction to get prepared for your final exams, or just for your average, everyday quiz.(这些高中学习技巧会让你在正确的方向上为期末考试做准备，或者只是为你的日常测验做准备。)”说明接下来要讲高中学习的技巧，因此空格处应该提出有人在学习上有困难，D选项“Having trouble getting serious about studying for a test?(为考试而认真学习有困难吗？)”提出问题，你是否在学习方面有困难，为接下来的建议做好铺垫，引出下文，符合语境，故选D。 37．空前“Unless you’ve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study because they may get off-topic pretty quickly.(除非你有几个非常认真的朋友，否则不要参加小组学习，因为他们可能很快就会跑题。)”说明了不要参加小组学习，空格处应该是和不参加小组学习有关，E选项“Save the social time till after you’ve handed in your test.(把社交时间留到交卷之后。)”说明了在交卷后再跟小组的人活动，是和学习时不参加小组学习相关，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 38．空格处是本段主题句，由空后“The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions.(你学习的地方应该安静、舒适、不受干扰。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要找个好的学习的区域，B选项“Create a perfect study area.(创造一个完美的学习区域。)”说明了要创造一个完美的学习区域，概括了本段主要内容，可作为主题句， 39．空前“If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food (垃圾食品). Instead, take studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, milk, and seafood.(如果你想在学习时保持敏锐，远离垃圾食品。相反，吃一些有利于学习的食物，比如深色绿叶蔬菜、全谷物、牛奶和海鲜。)”说明了学习时应该吃什么，空后“They won’t help you in the long run.(从长远来看，它们不会帮你的。)”说明了有些东西对人是没有帮助的，空格处应该交代这些东西，C选项“Say no to caffeine or energy drinks.(对咖啡因或能量饮料说不。)”说明了不要喝咖啡因或能量饮料，根据常识，咖啡因或能量饮料长期下去对人不好，因此C选项引出下文，符合语境，故选C。 40．空前“Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook.(整个学期花点时间复习所有的笔记，重读课本上的重要段落。)”说明了要花时间复习，空格处应该说复习的好处，G选项“It might seem boring, but it’ll really keep all those facts in your brain on test day.(这可能看起来很无聊，但它真的会在考试当天把所有的知识都记在你的大脑里。)”说明了复习可以把所有的知识都记在你的大脑里，是复习的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿非常想买一辆漂亮的女式登山车，所以一直在努力攒钱。但是，最后作者的女儿却把攒的钱捐给了穷人。从女儿身上作者学到了做慈善的意义。最后，作者向贫穷的孩子捐赠了自己收藏的两辆自行车。 41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：决心买一辆山地车，她一整年都在攒零花钱，同时还做些小工作赚外快。A.

Do you have a cold, or are you just tired out? M: I have a toothache, actually. Can you make an appointment with the dentist for me? Text 2 W: In my mind, the house will look better painted blue. But Dad thinks it should be gray and white. What’s your opinion? M: Definitely not gray. A dark green would be nice. Text 3 M: Hi, Emily. I saw your mother today. She looks great for her age. Does she work out at a gym? W: No. But my mother loves jogging outdoors in her spare time. That’s why she’s so fit and healthy. Text 4 M: We’ve been at this restaurant for long enough! Let’s go to karaoke. W: We won’t have time to go to the karaoke bar. We have to finish writing our reports today. It’s due (到期) tomorrow. Text 5 M: Did you brush your teeth? W: I did it after dinner. Usually I wait till just before bed. M: I often forget. I only brush them in the morning. Text 6 W: Playing hockey (曲棍球) on the ice during the winter is so much fun. It is our favorite game in Canada. M: I have actually never played hockey. We always play soccer in the grass or basketball on the court. I like soccer the most. W: That’s a shame. I like hockey better than those for sure, but you have different weather in America, which means you like different sports. M: That’s true. I wonder why soccer is popular in both warm and cold places. I just know that soccer is more popular in Russia, because it’s so cold that people need to do more exercise to get warmer. Text 7 W: Well, if we leave now, we can still make it to the cinema. I am eager to see the film. M: Parking would be so terrible, though. And I’m a little afraid that the tickets are all sold out. W: No, there will definitely be tickets. The cinema is only 30-minute drive away. I think we can find parking if we take a far spot. Then we need a 10-minute walk, plus 15 minutes to buy tickets and 5 minutes to get to our seats. M: Okay, let’s do it then. I’ll pack a snack before we go. W: Great! I’m just going to change clothes quickly. Text 8 W: Peter, how are you? I haven’t seen you for ages. M: Hello, Mary. Well, it must be at least five years since we left school.

I have to travel a lot. M: What do you do? W: I work for a travel agency. Working in a restaurant was just too boring. M: Your new job sounds interesting. Have you got time for a coffee? So we could catch up. W: Sure. Why not? M: Oh, there’s a nice cafe about two minutes’ walk from here. W: Let’s go then. Text 9 M: Mom, I’m going to work at a bank in downtown Chicago. I’ll move there from New York in two months. W: I thought you liked your old job. Why did you get a new job? M: I liked my co-workers, but working in a hospital was very stressful. I had to work long hours and I’m scared of blood! Plus, I had to drive almost an hour to get there every morning. W: Will you make more money working at the bank? M: No, I will make a little less. But if I work hard, I will get a better position later. W: I thought you were going to look for a new job in San Francisco, where our family live. We miss you, and you never have enough time to visit us. Why can’t you work at a bank in San Francisco? M: I’m going to work at this bank for a year. Then I will try to change to a branch in San Francisco near you and Dad! I really want to move back to San Francisco, but I can’t leave right away. Working at this bank will give me some good experience. Text 10 M: Good evening, everyone. It’s a pleasure for me, the head teacher of Maple Leaf International High School, to speak to you tonight.

Mr. Copeland’s club is most suitable for a student who ________. A. has a strong writing ability B. has special talent for stage design C. wants to master singing skills D. wants to learn musical instruments B As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent. I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake. Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself. Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me. 24.What made the author want to leave her hometown? A. Appeal of convenience in cities. B. Her dream of becoming a writer. C. Outside prejudice against southerners. D. Her desire for the northern accent. 25.How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother? A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised. 26.Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent? A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter. C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity. 27.What message does the text want to convey? A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves. C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent. C Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it. Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases. There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.” “Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added. 28. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout? A. To encourage healthy lifestyle. B. To save consumers’ shopping time. C. To provide multiple goods for choice. D. To promote non-essential consumption. 29. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Distributing junk food in different areas. B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of aisles. C. Rearranging products in supermarkets regularly. D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy carts. B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks. C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales. D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move to avoid impulse buying. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. A business magazine. B. A psychology report. C. A research paper. D. A shopping guidebook. D Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking. A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body,Foerster notes. The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear. 32. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “_______ ”. A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement 33. Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total. B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones. C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones. D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test. 34. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in _____. A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings B. Facts About Cell Phone Use at School C. Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens D. Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems 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。 ____36____These high school study tips will get you in the right direction to get prepared for your final exams, or just for your average, everyday quiz. Study Alone. Unless you’ve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study because they may get off-topic pretty quickly. 37 ____38____ The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible — like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don’t have your own room, consider studying at the library instead. Eat healthy while you study. If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food (垃圾食品). Instead, take studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, milk, and seafood. 39 They won’t help you in the long run. You can instead eat a banana or an apple. Study all term long. You may always wish to put off studying till the last minute, especially if you tell yourself that anything you try to memorize earlier on won’t really stay in your brain. That’s not true. Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook. 40 A. Get everything you need. B. Create a perfect study area. C. Say no to caffeine or energy drinks. D. Having trouble getting serious about studying for a test? E. Save the social time till after you’ve handed in your test. F.

Then one day, she made a surprising 48 . “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said, paused for a while, and then said, “I’m going to give it all to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $69 to a volunteer who was really very thankful. 49 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to 50 one my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. As I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a 51 bike took on a glow (发光). Should I donate two? No! One would be enough!

But Aamir, a homeless Indian boy, doubted it. Wandering the noisy railway platform, he found one of his flip-flops (人字拖鞋) broken again. He hurried to a corner, sat down and tried to fix it, his bare foot pressing awkwardly against the ground. However, it was beyond repair. He gave up and looked around aimlessly, staring at people’s shoes. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to two boyish legs wearing perfectly white socks and equally perfect black leather (皮) shoes, which were shining in the mid-day sun. It was a boy of his age. He treasured his shoes so much, obviously, because every ten seconds, he stopped, bent down and carefully wiped his shoes. His father was constantly glancing over and saying, “Hurry up! The train is coming!” Aamir’s eyes followed the father and son, but mostly the beautiful shoes, as if enchanted (被施魔法的). Imagining himself wearing them, the comfort from the good leather, jaw-dropping look on his friends’ faces, he couldn’t help cracking a big smile. The bell of the train drew him back; the fancy-shoe boy and his father were about to get aboard. They tried to crowd into the doorway. However, the instant the boy entered the compartment (车厢), one of his shoes fell off and before he could pick it up, the train began to pull away. The shoe was now lying alone on the platform. Aamir’s eyes lit up with excitement. Like an arrow, he shot for the shoe and then picked it up, holding it with both hands as if holding the Queen’s crown. After a few seconds of hesitating and looking from the shoe to the train and back, he began racing--with only one good shoe, his flip-flop. He held the leather shoe up, trying to pass it to the boy through the window, who was desperately reaching out his hand as well. However, it was never close enough. 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。 That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train. To his surprise, Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
