Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.
The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.
Actually, plain instant noodles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during production (which adds some oil and calories), but they fill you up well and provide quick energy when you’re hungry. To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!
So, are instant noodles junk food? If prepared lazily with all the seasoning and no extras, yes. But when cooked with less seasoning plus veggies and protein, they become a decent occasional meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjoy them once or twice a week as part of a diverse diet, and they won’t harm your health. They’re far less scary than people think — just upgrade your cooking method!
4. What determines if instant noodles are unhealthy?
A. Their quick cooking time. B. The time of eating.
C. The preparation method. D. The junk food label.
5. What is the major cause of unhealthy instant noodles?
A. The dried noodles. B. The flavor packets.
C. Using boiling water. D. People avoiding cooking.
6. What is the main purpose of the third paragraph?
A. Warn about health dangers. B. Give cooking instructions.
C. Argue noodles are harmless. D. List harmful additives.
7. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. Instant Noodles: Not All Waste. B. Instant Noodles: How to Cook?
C. Instant Noodles: Eat Sometimes. D. Instant Noodles: What we know?
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了方便面是否属于不健康食品的争议,指出其健康性取决于烹饪方式。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.(事实上,它们是否不健康完全取决于你如何制备它们。)”可知,方便面是否不健康取决于制备方式。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.(主要问题不在于面条本身,而在于人们制作面条的常见方式:将沸水倒在干面条上,并加入所有咸味调料包。这些调味包含有高含量的盐和人工添加剂,使这种版本不平衡和不健康。)”可知,方便面健康风险的核心诱因在于调味包中过量的钠盐与人工合成添加剂。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!为了使它们更健康,请正确烹饪:先煮面条,沥干多余的淀粉水,然后用淡水或肉汤。至关重要的是,只使用一半的调味料包来减少盐的摄入。烹饪时加入菠菜或胡萝卜等蔬菜和鸡蛋或豆腐等蛋白质。这可以增加维生素和蛋白质,同时减少钠的摄入。这使它们变成了一顿均衡的饭菜!)”可知,作者通过分步说明详细解释了如何通过调整烹饪方式使其更均衡,所以本段目的是给出正确的烹饪指导。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据文章第一段“Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.(方便面是人们不想做饭时最喜欢的快餐。想象一下在暴风雨的夜晚边看电视边吃它们的情景——纯粹的安慰!但许多人认为它们只是危害健康的垃圾食品。事实上,它们是否不健康完全取决于你如何制备它们。)”等内容可知。文章主要讨论了方便面是否属于不健康食品的争议,指出其健康性取决于烹饪方式。所以选项A. Instant Noodles: Not All Waste.(方便面:并非全无是处)最能概括文意,适合用作标题。故选A。

Howard Wicks, 30 years old, whose stories are rapidly spreading and gaining much attention, faced a substantial change in his life following a serious stroke (中风) in 2011 as a teenager. This stroke left him with Locked-In Syndrome, a condition that leaves him almost entirely paralyzed (瘫痪) except for his ability to think and perceive the world around him. Remarkably, Wicks has found a way to overcome these barriers through the use of an eyegaze computer. This cutting-edge device tracks his eye movements, enabling him to communicate with those around him and to pursue his passion for writing.
Over 18 months, using his eyes, he wrote 50, 000 words, composing a story that reflects his life experiences. The initial chapter of his book introduces readers to his life before the stroke, providing a thorough insight into who he was. The story then follows his changes from the hospital setting to reintegrating into community life. This book is designed to be the first of a trilogy (三部曲) that covers his life from the age of 16 up to now.
Wicks says the process of writing was nothing short of an intense and valuable experience of emotional release. “I enjoyed writing it, especially the parts I personally enjoyed living myself.” And he hopes his book will raise awareness of an organization he founded, the Locked-In Trust, which is committed to supporting individuals suffering from the condition.
As Wicks continues to work on the next volume, his journey serves as an inspiration to many. His ability to turn misfortune into a platform for creativity and communication is a proof of his strength and toughness. Through his writing, Wicks offers a powerful message of hope and resolution, highlighting the importance of finding ways to connect and share our stories, no matter the challenges we face.
“From the moment I gained the ability to type, writing a book has always been a goal of mine. Over time, more motivations for pursuing this dream emerged. I believed that finishing it was necessary for my happiness and personal progress,” Wicks explained.

Butterflies are sensitive to environmental changes, meaning they are important indicators of ecosystem health, but they are in decline. New research suggests butterfly numbers can be boosted by making small changes to road verges (边缘).
While most studies on road verges and butterflies have focused on temperate climates with natural plants in rural areas, new research from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) examined planted vegetation along major roads in big cities of Singapore.
Researchers surveyed 101 road verges, each at least 30m long, located along major roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 70 km/h, and planted with non-native bushes. They found verges with a mixture of different flowering plant species directly increased the total number of butterflies and butterfly species. "A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar (花蜜) sources for butterflies. This can attract more species of butterflies, especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers, " explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU’s Asian School of the Environment.
Selective thinning and less frequent cutting also benefited butterfly numbers and species diversity, with the verges seen as paths linking the insects to other green spaces. Slade says this could be because a greater variety of plant heights within road verges creates different micro-climatic conditions-variations in temperature, humidity (湿度) and light intensity - that appeal to different butterflies. More uniform plant heights created by frequently cutting verge plants can reduce the population of the butterflies and species richness and offer less protection.
The study also showed busy roads negatively affect butterflies and butterfly species, particularly when traffic density (密度) is higher; this typically occurs when road speed limits are higher, and vehicles travel faster. Roads with more traffic also have greater vehicle pollution, which can affect both plants and butterflies.
But the researchers say the benefits of road verges could cancel out these effects if traffic speeds are proper. They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70 km/h, the bad effects of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights.
12 What makes the study of NTU different from previous ones?
A. It takes climate change into account. B. It analyzes butterfly behavior in the forest.
C. It focuses on ecosystems along rural roadsides. D. It investigates grown plants in the urban area.
13. Why is Eleanor Slade mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To explain research methods. B. To propose strategies for improvement.
C. To back the findings of the new study. D. To prove the city is more suitable for research.
14. How can traffic’s negative effects on butterflies be reduced?
A. By frequently cutting verge plants. B. By planting diverse flowering species.
C. By building barriers between roads and plants. D. By permitting plants to grow to a specific height.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Secret Life of Urban Butterflies
B. The Ecological Impact of Traffic Pollution
C. Butterflies Benefit from Roadside Greenery in Cities
D. Roadside Flowers Can Improve Rural Butterfly Diversity
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡南洋理工大学的一项研究,该研究表明通过增加路边植被的开花植物多样性和调整修剪频率,可以提升城市中蝴蝶的数量和物种多样性,从而抵消交通对蝴蝶的负面影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While most studies on road verges and butterflies have focused on temperate climates with natural plants in rural areas, new research from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) examined planted vegetation along major roads in big cities of Singapore(虽然大多数关于路边植被和蝴蝶的研究都集中在温带气候下乡村地区的天然植物,但南洋理工大学的新研究调查了新加坡大城市主要道路旁的人工植被)”可知,NTU的研究不同之处在于其研究对象是城市地区主要道路旁的人工植被。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar sources for butterflies. This can attract more species of butterflies, especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers,” explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU’s Asian School of the Environment.(南洋理工大学亚洲环境学院的副教授Eleanor Slade解释说:“开花植物多样性越高,越能为蝴蝶提供多种花蜜来源。这能吸引更多蝴蝶物种,尤其是那些偏好不同花朵花蜜的物种。”)”可知,开花植物多样性越高,越能为蝴蝶提供多种花蜜来源。这能吸引更多蝴蝶物种,尤其是那些偏好不同花朵花蜜的物种,可推理出引用Eleanor Slade的言论是为了解释开花植物多样性对蝴蝶的吸引力,从而支持研究发现。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70 km/h, the bad effects of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights(他们发现,对于限速70公里/小时的道路,通过增加路边开花植物的多样性并允许它们生长到不同高度,可以减轻交通对蝴蝶的负面影响)”可知,通过种植多样化的开花植物可以减少交通对蝴蝶的负面影响。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Butterflies are sensitive to environmental changes, meaning they are important indicators of ecosystem health, but they are in decline. New research suggests butterfly numbers can be boosted by making small changes to road verges(蝴蝶对环境变化极为敏感,因而成为衡量生态系统健康的重要指标,然而其种群数量却在不断减少。最新研究发现,只需对道路两旁的路缘地带稍作调整,便能有效提升蝴蝶的数量)”、第三段““A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar sources for butterflies. This can attract more species of butterflies, especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers,” explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU’s Asian School of the Environment.(南洋理工大学亚洲环境学院的副教授Eleanor Slade解释说:“开花植物多样性越高,越能为蝴蝶提供多种花蜜来源。这能吸引更多蝴蝶物种,尤其是那些偏好不同花朵花蜜的物种。”)”以及最后一段“They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70 km/h, the bad effects of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights(他们发现,对于限速70公里/小时的道路,通过增加路边开花植物的多样性并允许它们生长到不同高度,可以减轻交通对蝴蝶的负面影响)”可知,文章开头指出蝴蝶是生态系统健康的重要指标,但数量在减少;随后介绍NTU的研究发现,通过增加路边开花植物多样性和调整修剪方式,可以提升城市中蝴蝶的数量和物种多样性,并抵消交通的负面影响。因此,文章主要讲述了城市路边绿化对蝴蝶的益处。C项“Butterflies Benefit from Roadside Greenery in Cities(城市道路绿化有益蝴蝶生存)”表达的含义适合用作本文标题,故选C项。

【答案】 Effective Ways to Relieve Study Stress
When we become senior three students, we often feel extremely stressed. However, there are practical ways to deal with it.
Regular exercise is highly recommended. Physical activities can help us relax both our body and mind. When we exercise, our brain releases chemicals that make us feel happy, which reduces anxiety and improves our mood. Talking to family or friends is another effective method. Sharing our worries with them allows us to express our feelings and get support. They can offer advice or simply listen, making us feel less alone.
In conclusion, by combining exercise and communication, we can better manage stress and stay positive during this important period.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Jack was so smart that he earned a full scholarship to Harvard. I often wished he wasn’t so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On one hand, his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was an immense pressure that I struggled to cope with.
To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), dedicating every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed into a series of endless tasks and deadlines.
“I needed an A,” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon, the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Reluctantly, I handed her the test paper.
The next day, I received my test back. I stared dumbfounded at the red mark: 76. Not even a B. minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt an unprecedented (前所未有的) sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the couch, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara?” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him “How I wish you were not so perfect!”
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。
Paragraph 1: With a hint of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: His words were like a warm breeze, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With a hint of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me. He placed a hand on my shoulder and asked me again what had happened. I took out my test paper and told him that I would never match up to him in a choked voice. Jack’s smile grew warmer, and he gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “You don’t have to measure up to anyone and your worth isn’t defined by grades or achievements. You’ re more than just a number on a test. Remember that be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
His words were like a warm breeze, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset. I was still engaged in endless tasks and deadlines, but I no longer felt constrained by my brother’s shadow. Realizing that comparison is the thief of joy, I strove for excellence instead of perfection, which is often unattainable and can lead to burnout. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders as I realized that my value wasn’t tied to a single test score. I felt more confident and less overwhelmed as I know that believing in doing my best will always be the ultimate best score.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了“我”因追求和哥哥一样完美的成绩而感到巨大压力,在一次生物考试中失利后,对哥哥产生了嫉妒和失望的情绪。

①由第一段首句“Jack眼中带着一丝受伤和惊讶,轻轻地走向我。”可知,第一段可描写Jack安慰“我”,询问“我”发生了什么,“我”拿出试卷告诉他自己永远也比不上他,Jack安慰“我”,告诉“我”不要和别人比较。
②由第二段首句“他的话就像一股暖风,吹散了我的沮丧,改变了我的心态。”可知,第二段可描写“我”的心态发生了变化,不再受哥哥的影响,意识到比较是快乐的窃贼,开始追求卓越而不是完美。
2.续写线索:Jack安慰“我”——“我”拿出试卷诉说沮丧——Jack告诉“我”不要和别人比较——“我”的心态发生变化——“我”开始追求卓越而不是完美

Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.
The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.
Actually, plain instant noodles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during production (which adds some oil and calories), but they fill you up well and provide quick energy when you’re hungry. To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!
So, are instant noodles junk food? If prepared lazily with all the seasoning and no extras, yes. But when cooked with less seasoning plus veggies and protein, they become a decent occasional meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjoy them once or twice a week as part of a diverse diet, and they won’t harm your health. They’re far less scary than people think — just upgrade your cooking method!
4. What determines if instant noodles are unhealthy?
A. Their quick cooking time. B. The time of eating.
C. The preparation method. D. The junk food label.
5. What is the major cause of unhealthy instant noodles?
A. The dried noodles. B. The flavor packets.
C Using boiling water. D. People avoiding cooking.
6. What is the main purpose of the third paragraph?
A. Warn about health dangers. B. Give cooking instructions.
C. Argue noodles are harmless. D. List harmful additives.
7. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. Instant Noodles: Not All Waste. B. Instant Noodles: How to Cook?
C. Instant Noodles: Eat Sometimes. D. Instant Noodles: What we know?

Howard Wicks, 30 years old, whose stories are rapidly spreading and gaining much attention, faced a substantial change in his life following a serious stroke (中风) in 2011 as a teenager. This stroke left him with Locked-In Syndrome, a condition that leaves him almost entirely paralyzed (瘫痪的) except for his ability to think and perceive the world around him. Remarkably, Wicks has found a way to overcome these barriers through the use of an eyegaze computer. This cutting-edge device tracks his eye movements, enabling him to communicate with those around him and to pursue his passion for writing.
Over 18 months, using his eyes, he wrote 50, 000 words, composing a story that reflects his life experiences. The initial chapter of his book introduces readers to his life before the stroke, providing a thorough insight into who he was. The story then follows his changes from the hospital setting to reintegrating into community life. This book is designed to be the first of a trilogy (三部曲) that covers his life from the age of 16 up to now.
Wicks says the process of writing was nothing short of an intense and valuable experience of emotional release. “I enjoyed writing it, especially the parts I personally enjoyed living myself.” And he hopes his book will raise awareness of an organization he founded, the Locked-In Trust, which is committed to supporting individuals suffering from the condition.
As Wicks continues to work on the next volume, his journey serves as an inspiration to many. His ability to turn misfortune into a platform for creativity and communication is a proof of his strength and toughness. Through his writing, Wicks offers a powerful message of hope and resolution, highlighting the importance of finding ways to connect and share our stories, no matter the challenges we face.
“From the moment I gained the ability to type, writing a book has always been a goal of mine. Over time, more motivations for pursuing this dream emerged. I believed that finishing it was necessary for my happiness and personal progress,” Wicks explained.
8. What does the eyegaze computer do for Wicks?
A. Give a boost to his recovery. B. Allow him to interact effectively.
C. Fuel his inspiration for writing. D. Offer virtual support for his motion.
9. What is mainly described in Wicks’ book?
A. His carefree childhood. B. His thorough insight into writing.
C. His expectations of the future. D. His struggles against challenges.
10. How does Wicks feel about writing?
A. It ensures him a basic living. B. It enables him to let out feelings.
C. It symbolizes a test of strength. D. It acts as a weapon against misfortune.
11. What can we learn from Wicks’ story?
A. All things are difficult before they are easy.
B. The course of true love never did run smooth.
C. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
D. The greater the difficulty, the greater the achievement.

Butterflies are sensitive to environmental changes, meaning they are important indicators of ecosystem health, but they are in decline. New research suggests butterfly numbers can be boosted by making small changes to road verges (边缘).
While most studies on road verges and butterflies have focused on temperate climates with natural plants in rural areas, new research from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) examined planted vegetation along major roads in big cities of Singapore.
Researchers surveyed 101 road verges, each at least 30m long, located along major roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 70 km/h, and planted with non-native bushes. They found verges with a mixture of different flowering plant species directly increased the total number of butterflies and butterfly species. "A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar (花蜜) sources for butterflies. This can attract more species of butterflies, especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers, " explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU’s Asian School of the Environment.
Selective thinning and less frequent cutting also benefited butterfly numbers and species diversity, with the verges seen as paths linking the insects to other green spaces. Slade says this could be because a greater variety of plant heights within road verges creates different micro-climatic conditions-variations in temperature, humidity (湿度) and light intensity - that appeal to different butterflies. More uniform plant heights created by frequently cutting verge plants can reduce the population of the butterflies and species richness and offer less protection.
The study also showed busy roads negatively affect butterflies and butterfly species, particularly when traffic density (密度) is higher; this typically occurs when road speed limits are higher, and vehicles travel faster. Roads with more traffic also have greater vehicle pollution, which can affect both plants and butterflies.
But the researchers say the benefits of road verges could cancel out these effects if traffic speeds are proper. They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70 km/h, the bad effects of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Jack was so smart that he earned a full scholarship to Harvard. I often wished he wasn’t so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On one hand his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was an immense pressure that I struggled to cope with.
To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), dedicating every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed into a series of endless tasks and deadlines.
“I needed an A,” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon, the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Reluctantly, I handed her the test paper.
The next day, I received my test back. I stared dumbfounded at the red mark: 76. Not even a B. minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt an unprecedented (前所未有的) sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the couch, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara?” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him “How I wish you were not so perfect!”
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。
Paragraph 1: With a hint of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: His words were like a warm breeze, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset.
