Greece”部分中“Imagine swimming in the warm mythic Aegean sea, with volcano and sunsets as a background.(想象一下，在温暖的神话般的爱琴海中游泳，以火山和日落为背景。)”可知，前两个地方的共同之处是人们都可以欣赏日落。A选项“People can enjoy sunset.(人们可以欣赏日落。)”符合题意。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lofoten Islands, Norway部分中“With deep bays and splendid mountains, this is a wilderness unequalled in its beauty, where giant sea eagles soar.(这里有深邃的海湾和壮丽的山脉，是一片美丽无与伦比的荒野，巨大的海鹰在这里翱翔。)”可知，游客在Lofoten Islands可以看到巨大的海鹰翱翔。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了四个不同的旅游胜地，包括它们的特色景观和游客可以在那里进行的活动等，所以这篇文章最有可能出现在杂志的旅游版块。C选项“Travel.(旅游。)”符合题意。故选C。 For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的)feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings (渴望)and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome (克服) my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a small part of the author’s diet. B. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. C. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 5. What caused the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. 6. What does the underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Harm. B. Cost. C. Attraction. D. Waste. 7. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Uncertain. B. Confused. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者二十多年来酷爱炸鸡，后因健康问题决心戒断，并分享戒断过程与感悟的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week...”(二十多年来，炸鸡一直是我最喜欢的食物。我每周至少要吃三次……)”以及“there were times when I tried to cut back on it... but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days (有几次我试图减少吃炸鸡的量……但总是在几天内就妥协了)可知，作者对炸鸡的喜爱持续时间长且程度深。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. (今年，一连串的事情彻底改变了我与炸鸡的关系。我开始频繁地胃痛、消化不良。医生无法将这些问题直接与炸鸡关联起来，但我注意到，每次吃炸鸡后，我的不适感都会加剧。）以及“One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. (“一天晚上，在吃完一大桶炸鸡后，我感觉非常难受，整晚都没睡好。那就是转折点。我下定决心，不能再这样下去了。”)”可知，健康问题和食用后的不适感促使作者放弃炸鸡。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. ( 炸鸡里真的有让人上瘾的东西吗？虽然医学书籍中没有正式的“炸鸡成瘾”记录，但专家指出了可能使其具有“allure”的因素。)，结合后文提到的“高脂肪让大脑释放‘快乐化学物质’、独特香料刺激味蕾”等吸引人们吃炸鸡的原因，可推测“allure”意为“吸引力”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. (我为自己改掉这个长期的习惯而自豪。如果我能克服对炸鸡的喜爱，我相信我能克服生活中任何其他有挑战性的习惯。)”可知，作者对戒掉吃炸鸡的习惯感到自豪和满意。故选C项。 Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒) . Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 8. What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke. 9. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires. 10. What’s a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material. C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke. 11. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A. It changes color. B. It becomes harmless. C. It quickly disappears. D. It forms other pollutants. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了野火烟雾对健康的危害，分析了其成分、来源及在城市与林地火灾中的差异，并指出烟雾在阳光下的反应会加剧污染。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space.(上个月，加利福尼亚南部爆发了一系列野火，导致数十人丧生。从太空中甚至都能看到烟雾云团)”和第二段中“Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. (这种烟雾可能含有与心脏病、肺病甚至癌症有关的不可预测的化学物质。这就是野火烟雾如此危险的原因)”可知，文章主要讨论了野火烟雾对健康的危害。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If they’re smaller than 2. 5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2. 5, is a common pollutant. (如果它们的直径小于2.5微米，吸入时就能突破人体的自然防御，深入肺部，引发许多健康问题。这种颗粒被称为PM2.5，是一种常见的污染物)”可知，PM2.5之所以危险，是因为它能进入肺部，引发健康问题。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. (2023年的一项研究发现，城市野火释放的有害化学物质数量是林地火灾的1000多倍)”可知，城市野火与林地野火的关键区别在于城市野火释放的污染物更多。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. (更糟糕的是，随着时间的推移，烟雾会暴露在阳光下。辐射会引起一系列反应，通常会产生其他污染物)”可知，野火烟雾暴露在阳光下会形成其他污染物。故选D。 Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits. A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages. Indeed, technology — particularly through platforms like social media — offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and learning new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is important for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults. Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist (抵抗), arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now?” Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty. Addressing these issues requires better technology design made for seniors. Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study showed, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions. 12. Why do older people hesitate to accept new techs? A. They have limited access to digital devices. B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate. C. They have a negative attitude towards all new technologies. D. They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital tools. 13. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father? A. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive. B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. C. Seniors often feel upset when using new technologies. D. Seniors always face the breakdown of smart phones. 14. What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technologies. B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems. C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs. D. Effective ways for web designers to simplify website interfaces. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Bridging the Tech Gap: Designing Senior-Friendly Technology. B. To Say Yes to the Smart Phone: A Beautiful Mistake. C. To Use or Not to Use: A Technological Barrier. D. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明老年人使用新技术的障碍，及通过优化设计打造适老科技的必要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology.(主要障碍是对技术及其优势缺乏了解，以及使用智能手机或电脑等高科技工具存在困难。这往往导致他们在采用新技术时犹豫不决。)”可知，老年人不愿接受新技术是因为他们发现高科技产品操作起来有难度。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part.(此外，沮丧是常见的。合著者露西娅经常从她已故的父亲那里听到“这不管用”的抱怨，尤其是在使用手机时，尽管他在大多数情况下都能较好地使用技术。)”可知，露西娅父亲的例子说明老年人使用新技术时经常感到沮丧。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面)... showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions.(老年用户更喜欢简洁明了的网页。此前一项研究表明，许多老年人喜欢界面简单、易于使用的网站……这表明仍然需要适合老年人的技术解决方案。)”可知，本段重点讨论老年用户对“简洁界面”的需求及当前设计的不足，由此可推测，下一段可能会探讨网页设计师简化网站界面的有效方法。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段“Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits.(传统上，老年人在使用新技术时会遇到困难，但情况未必一定如此。通过合理的设计，即便是最犹豫的用户，也能发掘出新技术的巨大益处)”可知，文章主要围绕老年人使用新技术面临的困难展开，强调需要为老年人设计友好的技术，以缩小技术差距。因此，“弥合技术差距：设计适合老年人的技术”既点明“老年人与技术之间的鸿沟”，又突出“技术优化设计”的解决方案，精准概括文章“问题一方案”的逻辑框架，最适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 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。 Fear is a powerful feeling.

Her older sister, Nina, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Mia, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day. “If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Mia heard Nina telling her friend Julia. “You’ re the best swimmer in the class, Nina,” Julia said. “There’s just no way you wouldn’t pass.” Mia angrily kicked the back of their seat with her foot. “I thought sisters were supposed to be there for each other,” she whispered. An hour later, she held onto the edge of the pool, shivering (瑟瑟发抖). “For the last part of the test, you’ll all be swimming the width of the pool using the crawl stroke (自由泳),” the instructor, Michael, told the class. “Can we swim in the shallow end?” Mia asked. “Nope,” Michael said. “To pass Level 4, it has to be the deep end.” Mia was anxious. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across without touching the bottom. “I’ll be watching from the other side,” Michael said. “Ready?” No! Mia thought. But Michael put the whistle to his lips and blew. Mia took a deep breath and pushed off. And Nina swam as light as the kickboard floating and passed the test very soon. But where was Mia? After a minute, Nina spotted her sister crossing the pool. Mia was way behind the others, and Nina could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe, instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy. Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight. When Mia stopped to check her position, her heart sank. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall, laughing and talking. Michael was bending over to talk to one of the kids. He didn’t see her. “Better keep going,” she thought. But she was tired. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. Stroke, stroke, breathe. Three-fourths of the way across, Mia stopped again. As Nina watched, Mia’ s head dipped briefly underwater before it resurfaced. Uh-oh, thought Nina. Her sister was in trouble, and she had to help. She kicked off the bottom and started towards Mia. Mia swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed. She felt as if she’ d been swimming for hours. If only someone would see she was too tired to keep going. She scanned the edge of the pool for Michael. This time, he saw her. His eyes narrowed. Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind. “Lie back,” her sister’s voice said. “I’ve got you.” Mia pulled the towel tight around her shoulders. “You know,” Nina said, “next time we go to the pool, I could give you some tips. I’ll teach you the right way to breathe so you don’t get so tired. With a little more practice, I know you can pass Level 4.” “You’ll make a good lifeguard someday,” Mia said. Nina smiled. “Really?” Mia nodded. “Yeah. And you’re already a good sister.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米娅要参加游泳课考试，然后才能去报名参加暑期初级救生员，对此她感到担心。她的姐姐尼娜通过了考试，发现妹妹远远落后，并且越来越没有力气了。于是尼娜鼓励了妹妹，承诺会帮助她通过考试。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“尼娜注视着妹妹缓慢的进步”可知，第一段可描写姐姐尼娜注视妹妹的表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“迈克尔正要跳进去帮助米娅，这时米娅感到有两条有力的手臂从后面抱住了她”可知，第二段可描写尼娜给妹妹建议帮助妹妹通过考试。 2.续写线索：尼娜注视妹妹——帮助妹妹——安慰妹妹——提供建议——米娅感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/catch sight of ②帮助：help/give a helping hand ③抓住：get/grab 情绪类 ①疲惫：tired/exhausted 【点睛】[高分句型1 As Nina watched, Mia’ s head dipped briefly underwater before it resurfaced.](运用了as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] She felt as if she’ d been swimming for hours.

I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻的)feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings (渴望)and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome (克服) my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A.

Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒) . Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 8 What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke. 9. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires. 10. What’s a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material. C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke. 11. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A. It changes color. B. It becomes harmless. C. It quickly disappears. D. It forms other pollutants. Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits. A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages. Indeed, technology — particularly through platforms like social media — offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and learning new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is important for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults. Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist (抵抗), arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now?” Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty. Addressing these issues requires better technology design made for seniors. Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study showed, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions. 12.

Her older sister, Nina, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Mia, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day. “If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Mia heard Nina telling her friend Julia. “You’ re the best swimmer in the class, Nina,” Julia said. “There’s just no way you wouldn’t pass.” Mia angrily kicked the back of their seat with her foot. “I thought sisters were supposed to be there for each other,” she whispered. An hour later, she held onto the edge of the pool, shivering (瑟瑟发抖). “For the last part of the test, you’ll all be swimming the width of the pool using the crawl stroke (自由泳),” the instructor, Michael, told the class. “Can we swim in the shallow end?” Mia asked. “Nope,” Michael said. “To pass Level 4, it has to be the deep end.” Mia was anxious. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across without touching the bottom. “I’ll be watching from the other side,” Michael said. “Ready?” No! Mia thought. But Michael put the whistle to his lips and blew. Mia took a deep breath and pushed off. And Nina swam as light as the kickboard floating and passed the test very soon. But where was Mia? After a minute, Nina spotted her sister crossing the pool. Mia was way behind the others, and Nina could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe, instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy. Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight. When Mia stopped to check her position, her heart sank. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall, laughing and talking. Michael was bending over to talk to one of the kids. He didn’t see her. “Better keep going,” she thought. But she was tired. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
