When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 6 Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 7 What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅，长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定，最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，事实证明，我们需要的不仅仅是一把椅子和一只不太舒服的水桶。唐娜决定我们需要一条长凳。)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(更重要的是，它非常适合两位70多岁的老人进行傍晚的聊天。)”可知，唐娜决定把椅子和桶换成长凳是为了让聊天时有更好的座位。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a ‘Decision-Making Bench’; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was ‘meditating’, adding yet another name.(然后，这个名字逐渐演变——一位邻居独自坐着沉思后，他宣称这是一个‘决策长椅’；还有一次，当唐娜被发现打盹时，她坚持说自己在‘冥想’，于是又加了一个名字。)”可知，长凳的名字来源于使用者在长凳上的活动。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(在接下来的几个月里，当我瞥见它几次时，长凳孤零零地立着，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧盒子。但是现在，经过一个漫长的冬天，春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放，我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知，长凳上放着空花盆和旧盒子，说明长凳在冬天没有发挥它的作用，即让邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors.(很快，长凳吸引了其他邻居。)”以及最后一段中的“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome ‘The Bench’ back into our lives.(但是现在，经过一个漫长的冬天，春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放，我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知，长凳吸引了邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定，它最终象征着邻里间的情谊联结。故选A。 Cuckoos (杜鹃) are a familiar and beloved species in the UK, whose arrival marks the beginning of summer. They make a long journey from their wintering grounds in Africa to raise its young on the British Isles. However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply. Since 1995, the number of breeding cuckoos has dropped by 35%. To understand why this is happening, researchers at the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) are now using high-tech equipment to find answers. Researchers have been attaching satellite tags (标签) to cuckoos, which send out real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoos spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration (迁徙) routes they take between the UK and Africa. The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival. The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It’s hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoos survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species. It’s not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird. “This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration, and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely,” says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. “It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come.” 8. What is the purpose of the British Trust for ornithology’s research? A. To find out why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos. B. To find out what happened to cuckoos’ habitat. C. To test out how to make an online map for Africa. D. To test out how high-tech equipment can be used in the research. 9. How can the public be involved in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage? A. By contributing funds to the research. B. By following the live location data online. C. By observing the birds in their natural habitat. D. By participating in bird watching tours. 10. Which statement may Dr. Chris Hewson agree with about the project? A. It inspires the public’s passion for technology. B. It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK. C. It lays a foundation for the species’ conservation. D. It will help cuckoos choose a safer migration route. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Cuckoos’ Migration Routes B. Conservation Measures for Birds C. Decline of New Species in the UK D. Tracking Cuckoos’ Journeys 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国研究人员如何利用卫星追踪技术研究杜鹃数量锐减的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply.

This process consumes vast amounts of energy and natural resources, while also generating huge quantities of electronic waste, as people often replace perfectly functional devices every few years. To address this challenge, researchers have proposed a new approach — repurposing old phones into small-scale data centers for practical use. “Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber, an associate professor at MIT. The research team showed that outdated smartphones can be effectively transformed into tiny data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also discovered that building such a system is surprisingly inexpensive — about 8 euros per device — making it a highly affordable solution. In their experiment, the scientists carefully removed the batteries to avoid chemical leakage and connected four old phones using 3D- printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments. One successful trial involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically recorded and analyzed marine species — a task that usually requires divers. With this new device, the entire process could be done automatically underwater. These repurposed devices hold promise for a wide range of smart city applications. For instance, they could be installed (安装) at bus stops to monitor passenger flow and help urban planners optimize transportation schedules and routes, making public transport run more smoothly and reducing waiting time for passengers. This method not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities. “This is a smart, green rethink of our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not only about protecting the future — it is about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities,” added Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With modest investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste. 12. What is a feature of the new approach mentioned? A. It is cost-effective. B. It is data-based. C. It is business-driven. D. It is skill-intensive. 13. What does the underwater trial show? A. The risks of underwater tasks. B. The necessity of innovative tools. C. The challenges of ocean research. D. The practicality of the new device. 14. What does the underlined word “optimize” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Improve. B. Observe. C. Cancel. D. Expand. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Electronic Engineering: An Eco-Digital Guide B. Repurposing Old Phones: A Green Solution C. The Problem of Global Smartphone Waste D. The Sustainability of Smart City Development 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员提出将旧手机改造成小型数据中心这一新方法，既减少电子垃圾又支持可持续数字方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They also discovered that building such a system is surprisingly inexpensive — about 8 euros per device — making it a highly affordable solution.(他们还发现，构建这样一个系统的成本出奇地低——每个设备约8欧元——使其成为一个非常实惠的解决方案。)”可知，新方法的特点是成本效益高。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One successful trial involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically recorded and analyzed marine species — a task that usually requires divers. With this new device, the entire process could be done automatically underwater.(一次成功的试验涉及水下海洋生物监测，该设备自动记录和分析海洋物种——这项任务通常需要潜水员。有了这个新设备，整个过程可以在水下自动完成。)”可知，水下试验展示了新设备的实用性。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“For instance, they could be installed (安装) at bus stops to monitor passenger flow and help urban planners optimize transportation schedules and routes, making public transport run more smoothly and reducing waiting time for passengers.(例如，它们可以安装在公交车站，监测客流量，帮助城市规划者optimize交通时刻表和路线，使公共交通运行更加顺畅，减少乘客等待时间。)”可知，使公共交通运行更加顺畅，减少乘客的等待时间，所以此处指帮助城市规划者优化交通时刻表和路线，optimize意为“改善，优化”。A. Improve改善；B. Observe观察；C. Cancel取消；D. Expand扩大。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“To address this challenge, researchers have proposed a new approach — repurposing old phones into small-scale data centers for practical use.(为了应对这一挑战，研究人员提出了一种新方法——将旧手机重新利用为小型数据中心，供实际使用。)”以及最后一段中“With modest investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste.(通过适度的投资和创造性思维，过时的技术可以服务于新的目的，有助于构建更绿色的数字社会，同时帮助解决日益严重的电子垃圾问题。)”可知，文章主要讲述了将旧手机改造成小型数据中心这一新方法，此方法既经济又环保，还能助力智慧城市应用并减少电子垃圾，所以“Repurposing Old Phones: A Green Solution(旧手机重新利用：一种绿色解决方案)”作为标题最合适。故选B。 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。 Looking for a simple way to relax and feel more at ease?

Actually, the price was eighty-five cents per pound, and that’s what Mark, the grocery store clerk, had told her. But she’d misunderstood. Mark had a solid reputation in the community. People knew him as an honest guy, a straight shooter. And he liked that. He liked it a lot. It gave him a sense of pride, knowing that people saw him as a good person. “But what if I just let this one slide?” he thought as soon as she said “a dollar per pound”. It’s just fifteen cents. What’s the harm in that? As the woman loaded up on apples, he hesitated. His conscience was nagging (纠缠) at him, reminding him that it wasn’t right. “Don’t do it, Mark,” he told himself. “It’s not worth it.” But the words wouldn’t come out. Instead, he silently bagged the apples and placed them on the scale (秤). “Not too bad for the price,” the woman remarked, smiling as she handed him a ten dollar bill. “No, not bad at all,” Mark replied, his hand moving almost on autopilot (机械地) as he counted out the change. “Why didn’t I just correct her?” he scolded himself, feeling a pit in his stomach. He knew he was doing something wrong, but for some reason, he just couldn’t stop himself. The extra dollar felt heavier in his pocket than any coin he’d ever handled. “Can you have them delivered to 200 Maple Street?” she asked, giving him another polite smile. Mark nodded, still unable to find his voice. He watched her leave, the doorbell ringing as she stepped out onto the sidewalk. “Tell her, tell her there was a mistake,” his mind screamed. “Just run after her and give it back. She’ll understand.” But the words got stuck in his throat. Instead, he watched her walk away, disappearing into the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s funny how something so small-a single dollar-can mess with your head. 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。 Mark couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d done something terribly wrong. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, as soon as Mark got to work, he saw the woman from the day before walked in. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mark couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d done something terribly wrong. Throughout the day, the extra dollar burned a hole in his pocket, a constant reminder of his dishonesty. He couldn't focus on his work, constantly replaying the scene in his mind. He knew he had to make things right, but the thought of facing the woman and admitting his mistake filled him with dread. Finally, he decided to take action. He wrote a note explaining the situation, enclosed the extra dollar, and prepared to deliver it to her house after work. The next morning, as soon as Mark got to work, he saw the woman from the day before walked in. His heart skipped a beat as he watched her approach the counter. Before she could say anything, Mark reached out and handed her the note and the dollar. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice trembling. “I made a mistake yesterday. The apples were actually eighty-five cents per pound.” The woman looked surprised for a moment, then smiled warmly. “Thank you for your honesty,” she said, her words easing Mark’s guilt. He felt a weight lift off his shoulders, knowing he had done the right thing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Mark作为杂货店店员，在面对顾客误解价格时，因一时贪念多收了顾客十五美分，但随后良心不安，决定纠正错误的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“马克无法摆脱自己犯了大错的感觉。”可知，第一段可描写Mark内心的挣扎与不安，以及他最终决定采取行动纠正错误的决心和过程。他写了一张便条解释情况，并附上了多收的一美元，准备下班后送到顾客家中。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，马克刚到公司，就看到前一天见到的那位女士走了进来。”可知，第二段可描写Mark在顾客再次光临时，如何鼓起勇气向顾客道歉并归还多收的钱，以及顾客的反应和Mark因此感到的释然。 2.续写线索：内心挣扎——决定纠正错误——写便条附钱——顾客再次光临——道歉还钱——顾客反应——Mark释然 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on ②采取行动：take action/take steps/act on it ③递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./pass sth. to sb. 情绪类 ①恐惧：dread/fear ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished/shocked 【点睛】【高分句型1】He knew he had to make things right, but the thought of facing the woman and admitting his mistake filled him with dread.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略） 【高分句型2】His heart skipped a beat as he watched her approach the counter.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河北枣强中学2025-2026学年上学期第四次调研考试 英语学科试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读二遍。 1.

Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 7. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. Cuckoos (杜鹃) are a familiar and beloved species in the UK, whose arrival marks the beginning of summer. They make a long journey from their wintering grounds in Africa to raise its young on the British Isles. However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply. Since 1995, the number of breeding cuckoos has dropped by 35%. To understand why this is happening, researchers at the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) are now using high-tech equipment to find answers. Researchers have been attaching satellite tags (标签) to cuckoos, which send out real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoos spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration (迁徙) routes they take between the UK and Africa. The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival. The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It’s hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoos survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species. It’s not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird. “This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely,” says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. “It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come.” 8. What is the purpose of the British Trust for ornithology’s research? A. To find out why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos. B. To find out what happened to cuckoos’ habitat. C. To test out how to make an online map for Africa. D. To test out how high-tech equipment can be used in the research. 9. How can the public be involved in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage? A. By contributing funds to the research. B. By following the live location data online. C. By observing the birds in their natural habitat. D. By participating in bird watching tours. 10. Which statement may Dr. Chris Hewson agree with about the project? A. It inspires the public’s passion for technology. B. It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK. C. It lays a foundation for the species’ conservation. D. It will help cuckoos choose a safer migration route. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Cuckoos’ Migration Routes B. Conservation Measures for Birds C. Decline of New Species in the UK D. Tracking Cuckoos’ Journeys Each year, more than 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This process consumes vast amounts of energy and natural resources, while also generating huge quantities of electronic waste, as people often replace perfectly functional devices every few years. To address this challenge, researchers have proposed a new approach — repurposing old phones into small-scale data centers for practical use. “Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber, an associate professor at MIT. The research team showed that outdated smartphones can be effectively transformed into tiny data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also discovered that building such a system is surprisingly inexpensive — about 8 euros per device — making it a highly affordable solution. In their experiment, the scientists carefully removed the batteries to avoid chemical leakage and connected four old phones using 3D- printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments. One successful trial involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically recorded and analyzed marine species — a task that usually requires divers. With this new device, the entire process could be done automatically underwater. These repurposed devices hold promise for a wide range of smart city applications. For instance, they could be installed (安装) at bus stops to monitor passenger flow and help urban planners optimize transportation schedules and routes, making public transport run more smoothly and reducing waiting time for passengers. This method not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities. “This is a smart, green rethink of our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not only about protecting the future — it is about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities,” added Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With modest investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste. 12. What is a feature of the new approach mentioned? A. It is cost-effective. B. It is data-based. C. It is business-driven. D. It is skill-intensive. 13. What does the underwater trial show? A. The risks of underwater tasks. B. The necessity of innovative tools. C. The challenges of ocean research. D. The practicality of the new device. 14. What does the underlined word “optimize” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Improve. B. Observe. C. Cancel. D. Expand. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Electronic Engineering: An Eco-Digital Guide B. Repurposing Old Phones: A Green Solution C. The Problem of Global Smartphone Waste D. The Sustainability of Smart City Development 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。 Looking for a simple way to relax and feel more at ease?

Actually, the price was eighty-five cents per pound, and that’s what Mark, the grocery store clerk, had told her. But she’d misunderstood. Mark had a solid reputation in the community. People knew him as an honest guy, a straight shooter. And he liked that. He liked it a lot. It gave him a sense of pride, knowing that people saw him as a good person. “But what if I just let this one slide?” he thought as soon as she said “a dollar per pound”. It’s just fifteen cents. What’s the harm in that? As the woman loaded up on apples, he hesitated. His conscience was nagging (纠缠) at him, reminding him that it wasn’t right. “Don’t do it, Mark,” he told himself. “It’s not worth it.” But the words wouldn’t come out. Instead, he silently bagged the apples and placed them on the scale (秤). “Not too bad for the price,” the woman remarked, smiling as she handed him a ten dollar bill. “No, not bad at all,” Mark replied, his hand moving almost on autopilot (机械地) as he counted out the change. “Why didn’t I just correct her?” he scolded himself feeling a pit in his stomach. He knew he was doing something wrong, but for some reason, he just couldn’t stop himself. The extra dollar felt heavier in his pocket than any coin he’d ever handled. “Can you have them delivered to 200 Maple Street?” she asked, giving him another polite smile. Mark nodded, still unable to find his voice. He watched her leave, the doorbell ringing as she stepped out onto the sidewalk. “Tell her, tell her there was a mistake,” his mind screamed. “Just run after her and give it back. She’ll understand.” But the words got stuck in his throat. Instead, he watched her walk away, disappearing into the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s funny how something so small-a single dollar-can mess with your head. 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。 Mark couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d done something terribly wrong. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, as soon as Mark got to work, he saw the woman from the day before walked in. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
