She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school. The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her. Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning. 4. What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A. She liked taking tests. B. She was afraid of failures. C. She often failed in study. D. She knew how to be perfect. 5. What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A. Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience. 6. Why did the author feel excited after the running test? A. Because she could work out regularly. B. Because she received honey as a reward. C. Because she got another chance to take the test. D. Because she achieved success after many failures. 7. The author wrote this passage________. A. to show the negative effects of failures B. to point out her best friends fear of failures C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D. to introduce different types of failures 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自己的经历论述了失败的好处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist.（我只是觉得她无法接受失败因为她过着完美主义者的生活。）”可知，作者最好的朋友害怕失败，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.（比起盘子，她更在乎我们的友谊。那天，我明白了失败并不总是会让人们讨厌你。事实上，在她对我说了这些话之后，我和她更亲近了。 ）”可知，作者最终从一次失败的烹饪中得到了更亲密的友谊，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school....A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! （我从来不擅长跑步，所以每次都失败，直到三年级......然而，几天后，老师又给了我和其他同学一次跑步的机会，我终于通过了!）”可知，作者在跑步测试后很兴奋是因为她在多次失败后取得了成功。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning.（现在很明显，失败可以给我们很好的教训。这不是结束，它可能是一个开始。）”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者勇敢面对失败，故选C。 C Before arriving in China I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 8. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 9. What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 10. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 11. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“as I once thought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。 D To the human ears, a field of flowers is silent, except the noise of birds and insects. To certain animal ears, however, a field of flowers is full of conversation. Now, scientists have discovered that plants actually make noise as a way of communicating. In other words, they talk! It has long been known that plants communicate when they are stressed. You need only watch a houseplant to realize that a plant lowers its head when it needs water, or turns yellow when it has been watered too much. Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects from taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up. Now, a new study that was published in Cell and conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University, shows that not only do plants express themselves in the above ways when stressed, they also make sounds, like talking. According to NoCamels, plants send out sounds at frequencies (频率) between 40 to 80 kilohertz — out of the range (范围) of human ears, but within the range of some animals. “Bats (蝙蝠) make sounds in these ranges all the time, and mice, dogs and cats can partly hear within it,” Dr. Lilach Hadany, one of the authors of the study, told NoCamels. What is surprising about Hadany’s study is that the researchers have managed to understand and group the sounds that plants make for the first time. Plants that are not stressed make about one noise per hour, but plants that are stressed, thirsty, or injured make many hundreds of sounds per hour; and each of these sounds seems to show the certain type of stress the plant is under. This type of information could be key for agriculture (农业). Knowing what sounds their plants are making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow them to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. 12. Why do some plants send out a bad smell? A. To show they hate birds. B. To say they are in need of water. C. To protect themselves from danger. D. To tell people to stop watering them. 13. Which of the following can hear plants most clearly? A. Humans. B. Cats. C. Dogs. D. Bats. 14. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The big problems farmers have been facing. B. The possible application of the new study. C. The ways for farmers to learn plants’ languages. D. The points needed to be improved for the study. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Plants Change Their Looks to Ask for Help B. Necessary Changes Are Made to Agriculture C. Plants Can Make Sounds to Communicate D. A Field of Plants Is Silent to the Human Ears 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家发现植物在压力下不仅通过低头、变色等传统方式表达，还会发出人耳听不到的声响进行沟通。这些声音频率在40至80千赫兹之间，部分动物能听到。研究首次解析了植物的声音类型，根据不同声音可判断植物是否遭受压力、干旱或伤害，有助于农业生产者及时采取措施保障作物健康生长。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects from taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up. (一些植物在受到压力时也会发出难闻的气味，试图阻止昆虫利用它们的压力状态吃掉它们。)”可知，一些植物发出难闻的气味是为了不被吃掉，即自我保护。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“According to NoCamels, plants send out sounds at frequencies (频率) between 40 to 80 kilohertz—out of the range (范围) of human ears, but within the range of some animals. “Bats (蝙蝠) make sounds in these ranges all the time, and mice, dogs and cats can partly hear within it,” Dr. Lilach Hadany, one of the authors of the study, told NoCamels. (根据NoCamels的说法，植物发出的声音频率在40到80千赫兹之间，超出了人耳的听觉范围，但在一些动物的听觉范围内。“蝙蝠一直在这个范围内发出声音，老鼠、狗和猫都能在这个范围内听到部分声音，”该研究的作者之一利拉克·哈达尼博士告诉NoCamels。)”可知，蝙蝠能够最清楚地听到植物的声音。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“This type of information could be key for agriculture (农业). Knowing what sounds their plants are making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow them to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. (这类信息可能对农业至关重要。了解他们的植物发出的声音将帮助农民确定他们的植物是否处于危险或疾病之中，并使他们能够做出必要的改变，使他们的植物生长得更好。)”可知，本段聚焦于该项新研究的可能的应用。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Now, scientists have discovered that plants actually make noise as a way of communicating. In other words, they talk! (现在，科学家们已经发现植物发出声音实际上是一种交流的方式。换句话说，他们会说话！)”可知，本文主要介绍了项新的研究发现——植物可以发声。故选C。 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。 It seems likely that you fought like cat and dog when you were young.

A 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了有兄弟姐妹的好处。 【16题详解】 上文“But siblings (兄弟姐妹) can actually improve your physical and mental health.(但兄弟姐妹实际上可以改善你的身心健康。)”提到有兄弟姐妹可以改善身心健康，下文具体讲述了其好处，故A项“以下是有兄弟姐妹的一些好处”符合语境，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据本段主题句“Having brothers and sisters makes you kinder.(有兄弟姐妹会让你更善良)”及下文“This is probably because you have a same-generation relative to make you care about others.(这可能是因为你有一个同辈亲戚，让你关心别人。)”可知，有兄弟姐妹会让人更善良，从而更有可能帮助别人，因为有一个同辈的亲戚会让你更关心别人，故C项“这会让你更有可能去帮助别人”能将上下文衔接起来，故选C项。 【18题详解】 空处是本段主题句，根据本段中“Brothers and sisters, whether younger or older, help prevent you from feeling terrible, unloved, lonely, anxious and fearful.(兄弟姐妹，无论年龄大小，都能帮助你避免糟糕的感觉，不被爱，孤独，焦虑和恐惧。)”可知，本段主要讲述有兄弟姐妹有助于让人避免消极的感受，D项“有兄弟姐妹有助于消除不好的感觉”符合语境，故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据本段主题句“Having brothers and sisters can help you have a healthier lifestyle.(有兄弟姐妹可以帮助你拥有更健康的生活方式。)”可知，本段主要讲述有兄弟姐妹对健康生活方式的积极意义，B项“兄弟姐妹可以成为你健康饮食的伴侣”和本段主题一致，故选B项。 20题详解】 根据空前“Not all of you have brothers and sisters. (你们不是所有人都有兄弟姐妹。)”及下文“Don’t worry. (别担心。)”可知，不是所有人都有兄弟姐妹，或者有兄弟姐妹但关系不好，这些情况都不要担心，所以空处是描述有兄弟姐妹但关系不好的情况，F项“或者你可能和你的兄弟姐妹关系不好”符合语境，故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Li Changtian, an intelligent young man about 170 centimeters tall, never disappoints others.

Suddenly, I heard him shouting, “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I put away what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next - door neighbor's 11 -year-old dog, was there again. I quickly ran out, shouting at her: “Go away!” Brandy's owner, an old woman, had died about a month before. Her family had emptied her house and put up a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but they had left old Brandy behind. Nowhere to go, for weeks, she'd been wandering around the neighborhood. It wasn't that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didn't think about them very much. I had never kept a dog as a pet and had never thought to get one. Brandy ran away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone was ringing. I went inside to get the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran back home and called the police, then my husband. We searched the neighborhood thoroughly. Suddenly I heard a dog barking in the distance. “It's coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff（悬崖）. There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, leaning against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on the ground, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours! 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a brief discussion with my husband, I made a decision. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph1： I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated for a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I'd driven her away. Seeing her reaction, I felt ashamed. I was really grateful for what she had done for my son. But for her holding Adam for hours, he would have died because of falling down the cliff. At that moment, I was sincerely willing to accept her as a member of our family. Paragraph2： After a brief discussion with my husband, I made a decision. I decided to have a conversation with her. "Come on, girl," I said. "This is your home now." Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. She'd done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it. She'd certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had. What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind! 【解析】 【分析】文章以一只名叫Brandy的小狗为线索展开，讲述了作者的儿子Adam在独自玩耍时看到了邻居家的小狗Brandy，他很兴奋，但是作者并没有养狗的打算，于是赶走了Brandy，后来作者接完电话，发现Adam不见了，作者搜遍了院子，都没找到，后来她报了警并通知了丈夫，在社区搜查时听到了狗的叫声，跟着狗吠声来到一个树木繁茂的悬崖边，原来Brandy一直在保护着Adam。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我谢过警察，把Adam和Brandy带回了我们家。”可知，第一段可描写Brandy回家后的反应和作者惭愧与感激并存的心理。 ②由第二段首句内容“和丈夫简短讨论后，我做了一个决定。”可知，第二段可描写决定的具体内容以及最终Brandy进入了作者家。 2.续写线索：Brandy犹豫不决——作者感到惭愧和感激——作者决定与Brandy谈话——Brandy走进家里——感到放松——躺在地板上——作者被Brandy感动 3.词汇激活： 行为类 犹豫：hesitate/waver 决定：decide to do sth./be determined to do sth. 走进：step in/walk into 躺下：lie down/keep down 情绪类 感激的：grateful/thankful 放松的：relaxed/relieved 感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] But for her holding Adam for hours, he would have died because of falling down the cliff.（使用了虚拟语气） [高分句型2] She'd done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it.（if引导宾语从句） 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 语法填空 When I was a child, I ____48____ (have) a lot of dreams.

B “I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school. The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her. Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning. 4. What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A. She liked taking tests. B. She was afraid of failures. C. She often failed in study. D. She knew how to be perfect. 5. What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A. Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience. 6. Why did the author feel excited after the running test? A. Because she could work out regularly. B. Because she received honey as a reward. C. Because she got another chance to take the test. D. Because she achieved success after many failures. 7. The author wrote this passage________. A. to show the negative effects of failures B. to point out her best friends fear of failures C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D. to introduce different types of failures C Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 8. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 9. What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 10. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 11. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. D To the human ears, a field of flowers is silent, except the noise of birds and insects. To certain animal ears, however, a field of flowers is full of conversation. Now, scientists have discovered that plants actually make noise as a way of communicating. In other words, they talk! It has long been known that plants communicate when they are stressed. You need only watch a houseplant to realize that a plant lowers its head when it needs water, or turns yellow when it has been watered too much. Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects from taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up. Now, a new study that was published in Cell and conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University, shows that not only do plants express themselves in the above ways when stressed, they also make sounds, like talking. According to NoCamels, plants send out sounds at frequencies (频率) between 40 to 80 kilohertz — out of the range (范围) of human ears, but within the range of some animals. “Bats (蝙蝠) make sounds in these ranges all the time, and mice, dogs and cats can partly hear within it,” Dr. Lilach Hadany, one of the authors of the study, told NoCamels. What is surprising about Hadany’s study is that the researchers have managed to understand and group the sounds that plants make for the first time. Plants that are not stressed make about one noise per hour, but plants that are stressed, thirsty, or injured make many hundreds of sounds per hour; and each of these sounds seems to show the certain type of stress the plant is under. This type of information could be key for agriculture (农业). Knowing what sounds their plants are making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow them to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. 12. Why do some plants send out a bad smell? A. To show they hate birds. B. To say they are in need of water. C. To protect themselves from danger. D. To tell people to stop watering them. 13.

Suddenly, I heard him shouting, “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I put away what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next - door neighbor's 11 -year-old dog, was there again. I quickly ran out, shouting at her: “Go away!” Brandy's owner, an old woman, had died about a month before. Her family had emptied her house and put up a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but they had left old Brandy behind. Nowhere to go, for weeks, she'd been wandering around the neighborhood. It wasn't that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didn't think about them very much. I had never kept a dog as a pet and had never thought to get one. Brandy ran away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone was ringing. I went inside to get the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran back home and called the police, then my husband. We searched the neighborhood thoroughly. Suddenly I heard a dog barking in the distance. “It's coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff（悬崖）. There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, leaning against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on the ground, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours! 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a brief discussion with my husband, I made a decision. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 语法填空 When I was a child, I ____48____ (have) a lot of dreams.
