Pi-o Indoor Theme Park in Longueuil The Pi-o Indoor Theme Park features 16 rides, a small sea train, a kid-sized bowling alley (保龄球场), a mirror maze (迷宫), theme rooms which include the Christmas room on the sea, and a private reception room. “I wanted to create a safe environment for kids aged 1 to 10,” explains the owner Jocelyne Pinard. She notes how many competing amusement parks have sections that can be unsafe for young kids such as the “ball rooms” full of loose plastic balls. So this is how it is different from other amusement parks. Open seven days a week. The admission fees are $16.99 for individuals and $64 for families. Wonderla Theme Park in India Wonderla is a world-class amusement park. It’s modern, clean and green, and has all kinds of attractions. There are over 50 rides, 12 of which are water-based and 9 especially for small children. If you love getting wet, don’t miss the Rain Disco — an indoor dance floor with a rain system that provides showers of warm water to the music. Monday to Friday 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday, holiday and festival seasons 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Single adult/child — $13.50; Family ticket (for any four people) $50.00; Children 3 and under — Free. 1.

(如果你喜欢被淋湿，不要错过“雨迪斯科”——一个带有雨系统的室内舞池，可以随着音乐提供热水淋浴)”可知，你可以在该主题公园享受与雨共舞。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍三个不同地区的主题公园，包括票价、开放时间、特色活动等信息，其目的应该是为游客提供娱乐选择的参考，因此可能出自旅游指南。故选C项。 B I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form. The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words "Are you man enough for the ultimate (终极) challenge?" made me angry and even more determined to get on the team. Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team. I had revealed (显示) my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. There personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master. I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities. 4. How did the author react on seeing the advertisement? A. She got cross. B. She was determined. C. She got frightened. D. She was uninterested. 5. What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands? A. Personal quality. B. Individual ability. C. Spirit of teamwork. D. Courage to challenge. 6. What does the author think of women's showing weakness? A. Beneficia1. B. Shamefu1. C. Mercifu1. D. Disturbing. 7. What's the intention of the author in writing this passage? A. To inspire us to prepare for our future goa1. B. To advise women to turn to others. C. To make suggestions to her team members. D. To encourage people to explore the unknown. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者申请加入去北极的滑雪队并成功的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句第二句“I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole.”(我决定滑雪去北极。那是在我在报纸上看到一则招募人员加入一个滑雪350英里到北极的队伍的广告之后。)和第二段第二句 “The words "Are you man enough for the ultimate (终极的) challenge?" made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.”(“你有勇气接受终极挑战吗？”这句话让我很生气，更坚定了加入团队的决心。)可知，作者在看到这则广告后很有决心。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.”(但是另外两个人帮了我，后来我发现组织者不是在寻找了不起的人，而是伟大的团队成员，这一刻向他们展示了谁会照顾团队中的其他人。)可知，组织者认为，在挑选新人时，团队精神是最重要的。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“There personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.”(求助和示弱的个性对女性来说是必要的。)可知，作者认为女人示弱是有好处的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句中的“by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities”(通过与他人分享我的故事，我可以激励他们向新世界迈出一步，展示更多的能力)可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们去探索未知的世界。故选D。 C Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 8. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time. C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 10. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving. C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述园艺活动有利于身体健康并分析了原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”(“像挖土，种植和收割这样的活动需要运动并能帮助我们改善体力” Clayton，一家网上草坪护理公司的CEO说，“经常进行这些活动可以帮助燃烧卡路里，保持一个健康的体重”)”可知，Clayton对园艺活动持支持的态度。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system(除了燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉，很多研究表明园艺看改善免疫系统)”以及第三句“Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.(每周做150分钟的园艺工作能够减少患肥胖，高血压以及心脏病的风险)”可知，本段主要讲园艺活动有助于降低患病的风险。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.(园艺也为社会联系提供了机会。它可以是家庭成员，朋友或邻居之间的共同活动，从而建立关系和归属感)”可知，园艺活动对社交的影响是它可以建立人们间的关系。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health.Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.(长期以来，人们一直认为户外活动有利于身体健康。园艺不仅仅是美化室外空间——它还对我们的身心健康产生很深的影响)”可知，文章主要讲述进行园艺活动有利于身心健康，所以文章的标题“开始园艺，并获得健康的好处”。故选D。 D This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 12. What is the main reason some people oppose driverless cars according to the text? A. They are too expensive to develop. B. They are considered unnecessary and dangerous. C. They are not supported by the government. D. They are only available in rural areas. 13. How do the Amish view modern technology? A. They fully embrace it to improve their farming. B. They reject it and emphasize a simple lifestyle. C. They use it only for communication. D. They believe it helps them connect with nature. 14. Which of the following is mentioned as a benefit of new technology? A. Reducing the cost of living. B. Helping people track weather and avoid disasters. C. Making driverless cars safer. D. Encouraging people to live in cities. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward new technology? A. Doubtful and resistant. B. Neutral and indifferent. C. Positive and accepting. D. Critical and fearful. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对自动驾驶汽车等新技术的不同看法及作者对新技术的态度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous.(他们说，一些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能是危险的。)”可知，一些人反对自动驾驶汽车是因为他们认为这些技术是不必要的且危险的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community.(其中最为人熟知的或许是阿米什人，他们是一群生活在美国农村的基督徒。他们不拥有或驾驶汽车，不看电视，也不使用互联网。自18世纪以来，他们主要以务农为生，并且很可能在遥远的未来仍会以同样的方式生活。他们倡导简单生活，注重勤奋工作、家庭和社区。)”可知，阿米什人拒绝现代科技，强调简单的生活方式。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.(另一方面，多年来，新技术给各地的人们带来了诸多益处。例如，最新的天气追踪计算机程序能为人们提供大量关于潜在自然灾害的预警，从而挽救了许多生命。此外，互联网让朋友和家人即使身处世界的两端也能轻松保持联系。它还让人们更容易在生活中找到机会，因为它允许人们通过社交媒体建立更广泛的朋友网络。)”可知，新科技可以帮助人们追踪天气并避免灾难。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.(尽管如此，我将始终看到变化的积极面，接受它而不是抵制它。)”可知，作者对新技术的态度是积极且接受的。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。 Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers?

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 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。 Mia’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Mia’s heart sank. She stared at the broken shells on the floor, her breath caught in her throat. “You knew this was special” She picked up the pieces, her voice shaking. “Get out” Leo stepped back quickly. “I didn’t mean to…” he whispered, his voice shaking. “You never mean to” she screamed. Leo’s face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick up the pieces. Mia turned away, unable to speak. That night, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, remembering Grandma’s warm hands and gentle voice: “Patience” She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace. The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. On top was a note, written in shaky letters: “I’m sorry, Mia. I tried to fix it.” Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart. At the center was a new shell — small, but shining — clearly one Leo had found himself. Mia smiled through tears. It wasn’t perfect, but it was filled with love. She picked up the necklace and gently placed it around her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Leo.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米娅珍视奶奶留下的贝壳项链，项链承载着特殊意义。起初她难容忍弟弟利奥吵闹，奶奶说的“耐心”让米娅尽量耐心地对待利奥，因此两人的关系缓和。但暑假露营后的一天利奥不小心将项链摔碎。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅的心沉了下去”可知，第一段可描写米娅十分生气，想起奶奶说的“耐心”。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，米娅惊讶地发现自己的桌子上有一个盒子”可知，第二段可描写次日利奥用胶水修补项链，还加入新贝壳，米娅感动，体会到弟弟的爱。 2.续写线索：米娅生气——利奥道歉——米娅想起奶奶说的“耐心”——利奥修补项链——米娅感动——米娅感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try to/attempt to ②不能：unable to/fail to 情绪类 ①爱：love/affection ②温柔的：gentle/mild 【点睛】[高分句型1] She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 六盘水培文学校2025年秋季期中考试 高二 英语 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 注意事项： 1.答卷前,考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上,并认真核准准考证号、姓名、考场号、座位号及科目。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 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。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Back in 1996 there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form. The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words "Are you man enough for the ultimate (终极的) challenge?" made me angry and even more determined to get on the team. Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team. I had revealed (显示) my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. There personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master. I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities. 4. How did the author react on seeing the advertisement? A. She got cross. B. She was determined. C. She got frightened. D. She was uninterested. 5 What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands? A. Personal quality. B. Individual ability. C. Spirit of teamwork. D. Courage to challenge. 6. What does the author think of women's showing weakness? A. Beneficia1. B. Shamefu1. C. Mercifu1. D. Disturbing. 7. What's the intention of the author in writing this passage? A. To inspire us to prepare for our future goa1. B. To advise women to turn to others. C. To make suggestions to her team members. D. To encourage people to explore the unknown. C Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 8. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time. C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 10. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving. C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits D This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 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。 Mia’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
