A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself. Most of the time, that idea shows in his fast hip-hop beats and jazzy electric guitar solos.
Banos, who has released two self-produced albums, has been aspiring to music. He always wanted to play the guitar, and picked it up in high school before expanding his talent to the trumpet and French horn. “I’m very committed to my instruments,” Banos said. “If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself.” The same is true for his dreamy production. At 16, Banos got his hands in his first music-editing software, and he has developed a range of techniques.
Banos switches between English and Spanish, singing with his pleasant and warm lilt. “When I’m writing, I just put myself in a place, in a certain time period in my life,” he said, “songs just come out very naturally.”
Though Banos’ soft sound might encourage daydreaming, the independent artist is keeping his feet firmly on the ground during his breakthrough. “I feel I’m watching myself take off, but my brain is still on the ground,” he said. “This all happened so quickly. I didn’t even have time to get ready!”
Banos adds that despite his success, he isn’t always recognized as Cuco. “I will wear Vans, and sometimes people will get confused. They will ask whether I’m sure I’m there to perform. I guess I don’t look like an artist,” he said.
24. Why did Banos make music in the beginning?
A. To entertain himself. B. To kill his dull time.
C. To make himself well-known. D. To improve his skill in music.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Banos’ high school life. B. Banos’ learning methods.
C. Banos’ achievements in music. D. Banos’ great interest in music.
26. Which of the following can best describe Banos?
A. Honest and careful. B. Efficient and faithful.
C. Creative and low-key. D. Devoted and warm-hearted.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Banos has made himself take off B. Banos will continue daydreaming
C. A genius learned music in high school D. A famous singer keeps pursuing his dream
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮,还介绍了他在音乐方面的兴趣以及虽然Banos在音乐上取得了成功,但他依然脚踏实地,追逐自己的梦想。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself.(19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮。Omar Banos的音乐方法很简单。他只想做自己能听的音乐)”可推知,Banos创作音乐的初衷是为了制作他自己喜欢听的音乐,即为了自娱自乐。故选A。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Banos, who has released two self-produced albums, has been aspiring to music. He always wanted to play the guitar, and picked it up in high school before expanding his talent to the trumpet and French horn. “I’m very committed to my instruments,” Banos said. “If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself.” The same is true for his dreamy production. At 16, Banos got his hands in his first music-editing software, and he has developed a range of techniques.( Banos已经发行了两张自己制作的专辑,对音乐充满了热情。他一直想弹吉他,高中时开始学吉他,后来才开始学小号和法国圆号。Banos说:“我对我的乐器非常忠诚,如果乐器就在我面前,没人有时间教我,我就自学。”他的梦幻作品也是如此。 16岁时,Banos得到了他的第一个音乐编辑软件,并开发了一系列技术)”可知,第二段讲述的是Banos在音乐方面有极大的兴趣。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself.(19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮。Omar Banos的音乐方法很简单。他只想做自己能听的音乐)”以及第二段中“If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself. (如果乐器就在我面前,没人有时间教我,我就自学)”可知Banos自学乐器和创作歌曲,说明他是个有创造力的人。再结合倒数第二段中“Though Banos’ soft sound might encourage daydreaming, the independent artist is keeping his feet firmly on the ground during his breakthrough. (尽管Banos柔和的声音可能会让人产生遐想,但这位独立艺术家在取得突破的过程中始终脚踏实地)”可知,Banos在成名以后依然脚踏实地,可见他还是个低调的人。故选C。
【27题详解】

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing.
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
30. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon.
C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.
31. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。数据和身份盗窃变得越来越普遍,而指纹扫描等这些防盗技术仍然很昂贵的。本文介绍了一种新的防止个人身份和数据在电子空间被盗的高科技智能键盘,而且这项技术也不贵。
【28题详解】

Airport security is there to protect you, but it may also give you a cold -or worse .
To all the places and surfaces we’ve been warned are covered with germs-the subway seat, airplane cabins, the ATM-add the airport security trays(托盘). The plastic security trays -used at airport checkpoints around the globe and touched by millions of passengers as they drop shoes, smartphones, baggage and other items into them to clear X-ray scanners-have been found to have a variety of germs in them, including the ones responsible for the common cold, according to researchers in Europe.
Scientists from the University of Nottingham in England examined frequently touched surfaces at Helsinki Airport in Finland during and after peak hours in the winter of 2016 and found rhinovirus, the source of the common cold in them. They found it on half the baggage trays, more than on any of the other surfaces they tested. It wasn't found on toilet surfaces at the airport. The findings could help improve public health strategies in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases worldwide.
The European Union has funded a research project, called PANDHUB, on preventing the spread of“high--threat ” pathogens(病原体) on public transportation, and the study by the University of Nottingham is part of that project .
"The presence of germs in the environment of an airport has not been examined previously, said Niina Ikonen, who was involved in the study.
Finavia, the company that operates Helsinki Airport, said in an email,“At Finavia airports, the hygiene(卫生) standards are applied in accordance with health officials' requirements-all surfaces are cleaned daily and all security checkpoint trays, etc., are washed regularly."
Washing your hands properly and coughing into a tissue or sleeve, especially in public places, can help minimize the risk of catching infectious diseases, said Jonathan Van-Tam, a professor at the University of Nottingham. "These simple measures can help prevent the spread of germs and are most important in crowded areas like airports that have a high volume of people traveling to and from many different parts of the world." he added.
32. What should air passengers do according to Van-Tam?
A. Avoid touching other people . B. Spend less time at the airport .
C. Bring as little luggage as possible . D. Try to reduce the effect of their coughs .
33. What is special about the study?
A. It focuses on"high-threat" pathogens .
B. It is the first to test for microbes on surfaces at airports.
C. It has found a new way to cure infectious diseases .
D. It has led to a research project called PANDHUB.
34. What did Finavia express in the email?
A. They explained why hygiene was important .
B. They felt quite doubtful about the findings.
C. They had recognized their mistakes .
D. They had done what was required.
35. What did the scientists find at Helsinki airport?
A. Airport security trays had a lot of germs in them.
B. Wet surfaces offered good places for germs to live.
C. Viruses spread quicker during and after peak hours.
D. Airline passengers were more likely to catch a cold on planes.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A

As an enthusiastic reader, I’ve always believed that the key to understanding the world lies in the pages of a book. ___36___ They introduce us to characters who feel as real as the people around us. This connection between readers and the text is what makes literature so powerful, and it’s why I value my personal library. It’s a collection that reflects my journey through the world of words.
My library is not vast, but each book is carefully chosen. I have a mix of types in my collection, ranging from classic literature to contemporary fiction. ___37___ Each type offers a different perspective, a new way of looking at life. While some books challenge my thinking, others provide comfort. It’s important to have a balance. A well-organized library is like a well-balanced diet for the mind.
Among my favourites are the works of Jane Austen and George Orwell. Austen's sharp observations on society and relationships are timeless. Her characters are imperfect yet charming. Orwell, on the other hand, offers a stark (冷峻的) view of the world. ___38___ Both authors, though different in style, have taught me invaluable lessons about humanity.
___39___ Biographies (传记) and life stories offer insights into the lives of extraordinary individuals. They remind us that greatness comes in many forms. Reading about the struggles and successes of others can be incredibly inspiring. It’s a reminder that we all have the potential to make a difference. These stories encourage me to reflect on my own life and what I wish to leave behind.
My library is a reflection of who I am. It’s a sign of my love of learning and my desire to understand the world. Each book is a stepping stone on my journey of discovery. They are companions in loneliness and guides in times of uncertainty. ___40___

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了作者对书籍的热爱,通过阅读,塑造了自己的世界观和人生观。
【36题详解】
根据前文“As an enthusiastic reader, I’ve always believed that the key to understanding the world lies in the pages of a book.(作为一个热心的读者,我一直认为,了解世界的关键在于一本书的页面)”以及后文“They introduce us to characters who feel as real as the people around us. This connection between readers and the text is what makes literature so powerful, and it’s why I value my personal library.(他们向我们介绍了一些和我们周围的人一样真实的人物。读者和文本之间的这种联系使文学如此强大,这也是我珍惜我的个人图书馆的原因)”可知,这里是在说我们读到的故事会给我们带来什么,所以F项“The stories we read shape our world view and broaden our minds.(我们读的故事塑造了我们的世界观,开阔了我们的视野)”承接上文,塑造了我们的世界观也就是上文提到的了解世界,并引出下文,符合文意。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“I have a mix of types in my collection, ranging from classic literature to contemporary fiction.(我的藏书种类繁多,从古典文学到当代小说都有)”以及后文“Each type offers a different perspective, a new way of looking at life.(每种类型都提供了不同的视角,一种看待生活的新方式)”可知,这里是说不同类型的书教会我们不同的东西,所以B项“I believe in the power of variety.(我相信变化的力量)”承接上文,引出下文,符合文意。故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Among my favourites are the works of Jane Austen and George Orwell. Austen's sharp observations on society and relationships are timeless. Her characters are imperfect yet charming. Orwell, on the other hand, offers a stark (冷峻的) view of the world.(我最喜欢的是简·奥斯汀和乔治·奥威尔的作品。奥斯汀对社会和人际关系的敏锐观察是永恒的。她的角色不完美,但很迷人。另一方面,奥威尔提供了一种冷酷的世界观)”可知,本段主讲简·奥斯汀和乔治·奥威尔,简·奥斯汀已讲完,空处结构应是作者对奥威尔作品的评价,所以D项“His stories are a warning and a call to action.(他的故事是一个警告,也是一个行动的号召)”符合文意,His stories指的就是奥威尔的作品。故选D项。
【39题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Biographies (传记) and life stories offer insights into the lives of extraordinary individuals. They remind us that greatness comes in many forms. Reading about the struggles and successes of others can be incredibly inspiring. It’s a reminder that we all have the potential to make a difference. These stories encourage me to reflect on my own life and what I wish to leave behind.(传记和生平故事提供了对非凡人物生活的洞见。他们提醒我们,伟大有多种形式。阅读别人的奋斗和成功故事会给人以难以置信的鼓舞。它提醒我们,我们都有潜力做出改变。这些故事鼓励我反思自己的生活,以及我希望留下的东西)”可知,本段和上文呼应,上文提到作者喜欢的小说,本段为非小说书籍。所以A项“I also enjoy non-fiction.(我也喜欢非小说类作品)”符合文意,为本段中心句。故选A项。
【40题详解】
设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“My library is a reflection of who I am. It’s a sign of my love of learning and my desire to understand the world. Each book is a stepping stone on my journey of discovery. They are companions in loneliness and guides in times of uncertainty.(我的图书馆反映了我是什么样的人。这是我对学习的热爱和对了解世界的渴望的标志。每本书都是我探索之旅的垫脚石。它们是孤独时的伴侣,迷茫时的向导)”可知,此处讲述书籍对自己的帮助,所以E项“Through them, I continue to explore, to grow, and to dream.(通过它们,我继续探索、成长和梦想)”符合文意,为对前文的总结,在书籍的帮助下,作者继续前行。故选E项。

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。
Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Soon, the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame” became a standard promise. Like most people, I never really expected to have even a few seconds of many people’s wonderful attention. And then it happened.
We were aboard the big ship, the National Geographic Explorer, on a trip to Antarctica. The ship carried many passengers and crew members. Excitement filled the air as we witnessed huge pieces of ice and snow covered mountains.
Motor-driven boats took us across the frozen sea so we could climb snowy mountain ranges and watch unique animals. In the following days, we relaxed in the beautiful White Continent. Then one morning, we saw a sign announcing an open invitation to all passengers, “Polar Plunge (跳水) at 12:30. You’re welcome to participate in the wonderful and meaningful event for fun, physical health, charity and also courage building.”
My husband and I were surprised at the sign. His face brightened, showing he wanted to have a try, but I had panic. Many reasons for not doing such a silly act clicked through my mind. “No way,” I said. “For starters, we’re a little too old. The water is freezing. Heights terrify me. In simple language, I’m a coward.”
My words didn’t weaken my husband’s enthusiasm. “Moreover,” I continued,“it means I’d have to wear a swimsuit in public with many people staring at my fat, old body. “We’ll never have another chance,” he just smiled, “and it’s for charity how meaningful that is!” My determination gradually weakened. My hearty “No way” gave way to a weak “Maybe”. Finally, I gathered my courage and said, “Okay. Let’s go for it.”
After medical workers carefully checked our physical condition, we wore our swimsuits, and gathered at the diving board with the other participants. A brave teen wished to be first in line. The remaining few ranged in age from energetic young people to middle-aged adults joking and laughing. My husband and I were visibly the ancient, senior citizens of the group. Volunteers stayed on the lifeboats below to ensure all participants’ safety.
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。
We waited for our turn to come.

Then, my husband and I rushed to float to the surface.

【答案】We waited for our turn to come. The teen ahead of us jumped with a whoop, splashing into the icy water like a fearless seal. My knees knocked as I saw the dark, freezing sea below. "You can do this," my husband whispered and squeezed my hand tightly. When our names were called, I shuffled to the edge, legs shaking. With a deep breath, I imitated the teen’s leap, arms outstretched. The instant I left the board, time seemed to freeze — then the shock of ice hit me like a thousand needles.
Then, my husband and I rushed to float to the surface. Gasping for air, I flailed toward the lifeboat, my skin burning from the cold. Volunteers hauled us onto the deck, wrapping us in warm towels as cheers erupted around us. "You did it!" someone shouted. I looked at my husband, his face red from the chill but grinning widely. Suddenly I realized the plunge wasn’t about age or appearance, but about seizing adventure. As Andy Warhol’s words echoed in my mind, I smiled, feeling famous not for 15 minutes, but for a lifetime of courage.

A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself. Most of the time, that idea shows in his fast hip-hop beats and jazzy electric guitar solos.
Banos, who has released two self-produced albums, has been aspiring to music. He always wanted to play the guitar, and picked it up in high school before expanding his talent to the trumpet and French horn. “I’m very committed to my instruments,” Banos said. “If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself.” The same is true for his dreamy production. At 16, Banos got his hands in his first music-editing software, and he has developed a range of techniques.
Banos switches between English and Spanish, singing with his pleasant and warm lilt. “When I’m writing, I just put myself in a place, in a certain time period in my life,” he said, “songs just come out very naturally.”
Though Banos’ soft sound might encourage daydreaming, the independent artist is keeping his feet firmly on the ground during his breakthrough. “I feel I’m watching myself take off, but my brain is still on the ground,” he said. “This all happened so quickly. I didn’t even have time to get ready!”
Banos adds that despite his success, he isn’t always recognized as Cuco. “I will wear Vans, and sometimes people will get confused. They will ask whether I’m sure I’m there to perform. I guess I don’t look like an artist,” he said.
24. Why did Banos make music in the beginning?
A. To entertain himself. B. To kill his dull time.
C. To make himself well-known. D. To improve his skill in music.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Banos’ high school life. B. Banos’ learning methods.
C. Banos’ achievements in music. D. Banos’ great interest in music.
26. Which of the following can best describe Banos?
A. Honest and careful. B. Efficient and faithful.
C. Creative and low-key. D. Devoted and warm-hearted.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Banos has made himself take off B. Banos will continue daydreaming
C. A genius learned music in high school D. A famous singer keeps pursuing his dream
C
As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing.
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
30. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon.
C It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.
31. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.
D
Airport security is there to protect you, but it may also give you a cold -or worse .
To all the places and surfaces we’ve been warned are covered with germs-the subway seat, airplane cabins, the ATM-add the airport security trays(托盘). The plastic security trays -used at airport checkpoints around the globe and touched by millions of passengers as they drop shoes, smartphones, baggage and other items into them to clear X-ray scanners-have been found to have a variety of germs in them, including the ones responsible for the common cold, according to researchers in Europe.
Scientists from the University of Nottingham in England examined frequently touched surfaces at Helsinki Airport in Finland during and after peak hours in the winter of 2016 and found rhinovirus, the source of the common cold in them. They found it on half the baggage trays, more than on any of the other surfaces they tested. It wasn't found on toilet surfaces at the airport. The findings could help improve public health strategies in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases worldwide.
The European Union has funded a research project, called PANDHUB, on preventing the spread of“high--threat ” pathogens(病原体) on public transportation, and the study by the University of Nottingham is part of that project .
"The presence of germs in the environment of an airport has not been examined previously, said Niina Ikonen, who was involved in the study.
Finavia, the company that operates Helsinki Airport, said in an email,“At Finavia airports, the hygiene(卫生) standards are applied in accordance with health officials' requirements-all surfaces are cleaned daily and all security checkpoint trays, etc., are washed regularly."
Washing your hands properly and coughing into a tissue or sleeve, especially in public places, can help minimize the risk of catching infectious diseases, said Jonathan Van-Tam, a professor at the University of Nottingham. "These simple measures can help prevent the spread of germs and are most important in crowded areas like airports that have a high volume of people traveling to and from many different parts of the world." he added.
32. What should air passengers do according to Van-Tam?
A. Avoid touching other people . B. Spend less time at the airport .
C. Bring as little luggage as possible . D. Try to reduce the effect of their coughs .
33. What is special about the study?
A. It focuses on"high-threat" pathogens .
B. It is the first to test for microbes on surfaces at airports.
C. It has found a new way to cure infectious diseases .
D It has led to a research project called PANDHUB.
34. What did Finavia express in the email?
A. They explained why hygiene was important .
B. They felt quite doubtful about the findings.
C. They had recognized their mistakes .
D. They had done what was required.
35. What did the scientists find at Helsinki airport?
A. Airport security trays had a lot of germs in them.
B. Wet surfaces offered good places for germs to live.
C. Viruses spread quicker during and after peak hours.
D. Airline passengers were more likely to catch a cold on planes.

As an enthusiastic reader, I’ve always believed that the key to understanding the world lies in the pages of a book. ___36___ They introduce us to characters who feel as real as the people around us.

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。
Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Soon, the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame” became a standard promise. Like most people, I never really expected to have even a few seconds of many people’s wonderful attention. And then it happened.
We were aboard the big ship, the National Geographic Explorer, on a trip to Antarctica. The ship carried many passengers and crew members. Excitement filled the air as we witnessed huge pieces of ice and snow covered mountains.
Motor-driven boats took us across the frozen sea so we could climb snowy mountain ranges and watch unique animals. In the following days, we relaxed in the beautiful White Continent. Then one morning, we saw a sign announcing an open invitation to all passengers, “Polar Plunge (跳水) at 12:30. You’re welcome to participate in the wonderful and meaningful event for fun, physical health, charity and also courage building.”
My husband and I were surprised at the sign. His face brightened, showing he wanted to have a try, but I had panic. Many reasons for not doing such a silly act clicked through my mind. “No way,” I said. “For starters, we’re a little too old. The water is freezing. Heights terrify me. In simple language, I’m a coward.”
My words didn’t weaken my husband’s enthusiasm. “Moreover,” I continued,“it means I’d have to wear a swimsuit in public with many people staring at my fat, old body. “We’ll never have another chance,” he just smiled, “and it’s for charity how meaningful that is!” My determination gradually weakened. My hearty “No way” gave way to a weak “Maybe”. Finally, I gathered my courage and said, “Okay. Let’s go for it.”
After medical workers carefully checked our physical condition, we wore our swimsuits, and gathered at the diving board with the other participants. A brave teen wished to be first in line. The remaining few ranged in age from energetic young people to middle-aged adults joking and laughing. My husband and I were visibly the ancient, senior citizens of the group. Volunteers stayed on the lifeboats below to ensure all participants’ safety.
注意:
1.续写词数应150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We waited for our turn to come.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then, my husband and I rushed to float to the surface.
