【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者回忆自己母亲对孩子不寻常的教育方法。通过一 个自行车篮子的事情，母亲教会作者什么事情都要自力更生，通过自己努力得到的东西才是 最珍贵的。 24.推理判断题。根据第一二段内容，尤其是第二段中My parents were united in their way of raising children,but it mostly tell to my mother to actually cany it out.Looking back,I honestly don't know how she did it.(我的父母在养育孩子的方式上是一致的，但这主要是告诉我母亲 要真正执行它。现在回想起来，我真的不知道她是怎么做到的。)”和We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.Like the two little girls growing up at the White House,we made our own beds(no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings,and if something was lost,,it was not replaced.(我们不得不通过在家里做家务来赚取零花钱。我还记 得擦咖啡桌桌腿花了多长时间。我的兄弟们无疑记得花了几个小时打扫房子。就像在白宫长 大的两个小女孩一样，我们自己铺床（铺床前谁也不许离开家），自己收拾床铺。我们必须 保管好我们的物品，如果有什么东西丢了，就不能补回来。)”可知，前两段提到父母在养育 孩子方面方式一致，且大多由母亲执行。母亲让孩子们通过做家务来赚取零花钱，对孩子们 要求严格，如必须整理床铺、收拾自己的东西、保管好自己的物品等。这表明母亲以一种不 寻常的方式养育孩子。故选D项。 25.推理判断题。根据第十段中“Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car,helping my mother make dinner,delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front).(每个星期， 答案第3页，共9页 我都急切地计算着我不断增长的积蓄，因为我在这里或那里做了额外的工作（洗车，帮妈妈 做晚饭，在我的自行车上运送或收集那些没有篮子就光秃秃的的东西)。)”可知，作者通过 额外的工作攒钱买篮子，她觉得没有篮子的自行车看起来naked(光秃秃的)”，这强调了 篮子是自行车不可或缺的东西。故选D项。 26.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny,new bike that already had all the bells and whistles.I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster.This horrible turn of events.(一个和我玩过无数次的邻居女孩出现了，她那锃亮的新自行车上装着一模一样的篮 子，而且所有的铃铛和哨子都已经装好了。我飞快地骑回家，告诉妈妈这场灾难。这可怕的 转折。)”可知，作者认为可怕的事情是一个和她一起玩过很多次的邻家女孩有了和她一样 的篮子。故选D项。 27.推理判断题。根据最后一段妈妈说的话“Honey,your basket is extra-special,.”Mom said,, gently wiping away my hot tears."Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself."( 的，你的篮子额外特别，”妈妈说，轻轻地为我擦去热泪。“你的篮子很特别，因为它是你自 己付的钱。)”可知，作者从妈妈那里学到的人生教训是自己通过努力（汗水）赚钱得到的 东西是特别的，即Earn your bread with your sweat..(用汗水挣得你的面包)。故选C项。 28.D29.D30.A31.C 【导语】本文属于说明文。主要通过举例和分析来探讨隐喻在语言和思维中的作用，以及不 同隐喻如何影响人们的理解和行为。 28.细节理解题。根据第二段的“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives,thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions.(Purchase 进行的一项研究发现，隐喻可以塑造人们的视角，进而影响他们的推理和后续行为。)”可知， 研究发现隐喻能够影响人们的思维和行为。故选D。 29.推理判断题。根据第三段的“Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas,suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on.However,this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses...It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas,and as a behavioral consequence,people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.(另一个例子是常用于描述新想法的灯泡隐喻，暗示新想法 像打开电灯开关一样突然出现。然而，这个隐喻暗示新想法来得不费吹灰之力，只有少数天 才才能拥有...这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新想法的能力，并因此低估努力工作和持续 学习在带来变化中的作用。)”可知，引用灯泡隐喻这个例子是为了说明隐喻如何影响人们对 新想法产生过程的理解，即证明隐喻的影响力。故选D。 30.细节理解题。根据第四段的Different from the lightbulb metaphor,the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process,which requires time and effort.It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to t.(与灯泡隐喻不同，种子隐喻暗示了一种理解，即产生新想法是一个需要时间和努力的艰 苦过程。它还表明，只要用心，任何人都可以成为思想的培育者。)”可知，种子隐喻与灯泡 隐喻不同之处在于它暗示个人需要持续的努力。故选A。 3l.推理判断题。根据最后一段的The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be,even though we often don't realize it.Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation?Given the nature of our metaphorical minds,it is worth asking:are our metaphors suitable?We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately.These choices,conscious or not,can be constructive or destructive.(隐喻的微妙影响显示了语言的强大力量，尽管我们常常没有意识到这一点。谁 答案第4页，共9页 会想到一个简单的灯泡隐喻会深刻地影响我们对创新概念的理解？鉴于我们思维的隐喻性， 值得一问的是：我们的隐喻是否合适？我们有责任对自己和他人适当地使用隐喻。这些选择， 无论是有意识还是无意识的，都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。)”可知，作者对隐喻的使用持 谨慎态度，认为应该恰当地使用隐喻，因为无论是有意识还是无意识的，隐喻都可能是建设 性的或破坏性的。故选C。 32.C33.B34.D35.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍微重力环境对于宇航员的身体的影响。

执行任务时死亡的几率相对较低，但他们在太空长期停留的影响可能会对他们的身体产生影 响。)可知，长时间留在太空有可能对宇航员的身体状况有潜在的损害。故选C项。 33.细节理解题，根据第三段中The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液)to float along the sides of the bladder(膀胱)，which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full,leading to an unexpected,spontaneous need to urinate.(液体在太空中重新分配自己的方式也会导致尿液漂浮在膀胱两侧，这可能会 使宇航员在膀胱完全充满之前感觉不到小便的需要，从而导致意外的、自发的小便需要。)” 可知，体液会削弱生活在微重力环境中的宇航员的尿意。故选B项。 34.细节理解题。根据第四段中During almost a year in space,Captain Kelly's telomeres had actually lengthened,which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases.However, during the months after returning to Earth,the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels..(在近一年的太空生活中，Captain Kelly的端粒实际上 变长了，这通常是患与年龄有关疾病的几率较低的一个指标。然而，在返回地球后的几个月 里，他的端粒长度被发现比他飞行前的水平短得多。)'可知，从太空回来后，Captain Kelly 的端粒先是变长，然后又变短。故选D项。 35.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段'If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation,prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment.For astronauts like Captain Kelly,the impact space has

life is here on Eth.(如果你打算去太空旅行作为你的下一个豪华假期，准备在一个全新的环境中遇到更多 严重的健康后果。对于像Captain Kelly这样的宇航员来说，太空对身体的影响是探索太阳 系的一个小代价。对于我们这些还没有去过太空的人来说，生活在微重力下引起的健康问题 可以提醒我们地球上的生活是多么舒适。)”可知，作者想暗示探索太空需要奉献和栖牲。故 选D项。

内心找到平静，建立和谐的关系，为每个人创造一个更美好的世界。本空作介词within的宾 语，应用反身代词ourselves我们自己”。within oneself表示“在某人内心'。故填ourselves。 66.One possible version: NOTICE Dear schoolmates, Out of concern for students'mental health,our

B Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be different if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson that I carry with me today. My parents were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly tell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been hard, but she made it look effortless. If we complained, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room, a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party. “ We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced. It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed — and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew —I knew—I had to have it, “It’s beautiful,” my mother said. “What a neat basket,” I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer, “Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do what you say, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom, Please?” I was desperate. “You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up, you could buy this yourself.” “By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!” “There might be another way.” And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon. . . . Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events. And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life: “Honey, your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.” 24．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．The writer got trained by doing chores. B．Managing family budget was hard but worth. C．Doing housework helped earn a dreaming basket. D．The mother raised her children in an unusual way. 25．By using “naked” (Paragraph 10), the author seems to stress that the basket was ____________. A．well worth the effort she had made B．the most valuable she had ever obtained C．an unnecessary accessory to her bike D．something the bike couldn’t do without 26．To the author, it seemed to be a horrible turn of events that ____________. A．her paying plan was spoiled B．a neighborhood girl bought a nicer bike C．the basket cost more than she had offered D．someone else had got a basket of the same kind 27．What is the life lesson the author learned from her mother? A．Save money for a rainy day. B．Good advice is beyond all price. C．Earn your bread with your sweat. D．God helps those who help themselves. C Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can’t directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors. Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and if cared for, will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive. 28．What does the study find about metaphors? A．They help clarify abstract concepts. B．They may cause some misunderstanding. C．They make language more poetic and vivid. D．They can influence people’s minds and behavior. 29．Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3? A．To raise some doubt about metaphors. B．To highlight improper use of metaphors. C．To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D．To demonstrate the influence of metaphors. 30．How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”? A．It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B．It attaches great significance to natural talent. C．It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D．It simplifies the process of generating new ideas. 31．What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous. C Climate change, pollution and fast-paced life got you down? Wish you could buy a ticket on the Europa Clipper spacecraft? Before you decide to leave Earth behind, consider the life of an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS). Two NASA astronauts have been living aboard the ISS since their departure from Earth on June 5. Their mission, originally meant to last around a week, will have gone on for over eight months. NASA’s accepted odds for loss of crew during the extended stay, or chances they two won’t make it back to Earth alive, are 1 in 270. Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies. Living in microgravity causes bodily fluids to become more evenly distributed, with up to two extra liters of blood in the upper body, triggering constant feelings of puffiness (浮肿), especially in the head and face. Captain Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, describes the feeling, “It feels a little like standing on your head 24 hours a day.” The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate. Discoveries made during NASA’s study found extended time in space also impacts telomeres (端粒). During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels. If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth. 32．What can we know about the two astronauts from Paragraph 2? A．NASA has accepted the fact of losing them. B．They postpone their missions to eight months later. C．Staying in space has potential damage to their physical conditions. D．The longer they stay in space, the lower chances they have of returning alive. 33．How do the bodily fluids affect astronauts living in microgravity? A．They make astronauts’ whole bodies puffy. B．They greatly weaken astronauts’ urges to urinate. C．They accumulate more in the upper body than the lower. D．They cause astronauts to feel like standing 24 hours a day. 34．What can we learn from Captain Kelly? A．He was less likely to suffer age-related diseases. B．He reminded us that living on Earth was comfortable. C．Living in space had no significant impact on his overall health. D．His telomeres lengthened first and then shortened after returning from space. 35．What does the author intend to imply according to this article? A．It is not worth exploring the solar system. B．Travelling in space is an affordable journey. C．It is possible to travel to space as a vacation. D．Exploring the space takes devotion and sacrifice. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to claim that their example of a particular cooking tradition is the most authentic (地道的). 36 People care about authenticity because food traditions are closely linked to identity. 37 There home cooking is often the last way to show their identity, British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was accused of trying to take advantage of positive feelings about Jamaica. His meal product had a Jamaican name, but was unlike genuine Jamaican cooking. However, food consultant Sara Kay argues that there are problems with the idea of authenticity. 38 It’s common for majority cultures to have wild fantasies about minority cultures and their food. These expectations can be restricting — restaurant owners have complained that people expect Asian food to be cheaper than that from European cultures. 39 while large cities are full of restaurants representing different countries — China, India, Italy, Mexico and more — these labels can oversimplify the reality of food from these countries. For instance, regional specialties in Mexico are assumed quite different from what people eat in America. But in essence, they can both be authentic examples of Mexican food. A more controversial view of authenticity was stated by American Chef Andrew Zimmern, who claimed that he could present Chinese dishes in a more authentic way than existing restaurants. Writer and food podcaster Ruth Tam points out that while these restaurants change their recipes to suit local tastes. so does Zimmern. 40 So, while food and identity are closely linked, it makes sense to give a second thought about the whole idea of authenticity. A．But is this a good thing? B．It’s a symbol of cultural diversity, C．That means adaptation is unavoidable. D．They can generate severe consequences. E．And unreasonable expectations are the core. F．It’s particularly true for migrant communities. G．Expectations can also give a false idea of authenticity. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods. The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure (基础设施) as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font, an expert in tourism. “For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them.” In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city center on its official website.” That takes courage, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can to 45 congestion.” But it also proposes a better way, which is called “de-tourism”; sustainable travel tips and 46 schedules for exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year. A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.” Similarly, repeal visitors have a better sense of the 50 . “ We should be asking how we can get tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours.” Font says cities could stand to be more 52 about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking. ‘yeah but at what cost...’” He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a (n) 53 that fails to take into account Japanese bigger carbon footprint. 54 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents. 41．A．longer B．shorter C．wider D．clearer 42．A．environmental B．national C．economic D．geographic 43．A．locals B．tourists C．visitors D．cleaners 44．A．transports B．accommodation C．restaurants D．service 45．A．cause B．fuel C．transfer D．ease 46．A．separate B．individual C．alternative D．objective 47．A．reform B．guidance C．invitation D．support 48．A．convincing B．discouraging C．promoting D．enjoying 49．A．release B．enhance C．remove D．relieve 50．A．culture B．knowledge C．entertainment D．ability 51．A．get along B．bring up C．come back D．lay off 52．A．selective B．optimistic C．curious D．doubtful 53．A．distinction B．harmony C．association D．comparison 54．A．French B．Japanese C．Spanish D．German 55．A．comfortable B．complex C．temporary D．sustainable 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡上。 In the hustle and bustle of modern life — where people often chase extreme success, argue over opposing views, 56 struggle with work-life imbalance — an ancient Chinese wisdom called the “Doctrine of the Mean” (Zhongyong) offers a precious guide. 57 (originate) from Confucianism, this philosophy emphasizes “moderation,” “balance,” and “harmony,” teaching people to avoid extremes and seek a middle way in all aspects of life. Contrary to the misunderstanding that it means “being ordinary” or “doing nothing,” the Confucian “Zhongyong” 58 (refer) to a state of “appropriate action” — doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way. It was first 59 (systematic) clarified in the Confucian classic The Doctrine of the Mean, 60 states: “The mean is the highest virtue.” For Confucians, the “mean” is not a compromise between two extremes, but a harmonious integration of different elements. Today, as we face unprecedented challenges — from personal anxiety 61 global conflicts — the “Doctrine of the Mean” offers a timeless 62 (solve) ; seek balance, avoid extremes, and pursue harmony. It reminds us that the most sustainable happiness does not come from extreme success or endless desire, but from a balanced life; the 63 (stable) relationships do not come from blind agreement or constant conflict, but from mutual respect and compromise; the most prosperous society does not come from one-sided development or rigid rules, but from the harmonious coexistence of different elements. The “Doctrine of the Mean” is more than just an ancient Confucian concept — it’s a living wisdom that connects traditional Chinese culture to modern life. It teaches us to slow down in a fast-paced world, to listen in a noisy world, and 64 (balance) in an extreme world. In the end, the significance of the “Doctrine of the Mean” in modern society lies in its ability to help us find peace within 65 (we), build harmonious relationships, and create a better world for everyone. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是校英语俱乐部负责人，俱乐部将于下周举办主题为 How to Keep Mentally Healthy的讲座。请你写一则通知，内容包括： 1.讲座时间、地点； 2.讲座目的及内容； 3.呼吁参加。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 NOTICE Dear schoolmates, _________________________________________________________________________________ The English Club 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It had been a challenging but rewarding term, filled with hard work and a thirst for knowledge. As I handed in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed by my families, who had been closely observing my progress. At the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit to Marco the next day to cheer for my progress in academic study. When I got the good news, I felt on top of the world and could not hold back my high spirits. As I lay in bed that night, a mix of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart, and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure. After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco tower. Marco Tower, built in the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city. It is also considered one of the top tourist attractions in the region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down with joy. But then I felt a bit uneasy because of my fear of heights. Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as the anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth in the tower lift, unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific floor, I gasped (倒吸一口气) in horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure. Seeing my family both take out their phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiled at me and said delightedly, “Just take it easy and you can do it.” 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。 I didn’t know whether to stay or not. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was totally struck by the height of the tower. _________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Jack, have you downloaded the book to your e reader?

I visited the shops eight at the family owned restaurants and learned about the unusual history of the town by chatting with the old timers at the local bar. But that sounds like a boring place to me. Then I guess you wouldn't want to go back with me this summer for their music festival. Did you say music festival? Maybe I shouldn't dismiss small town appeal quite so quickly. Hey, you're back from your vacation. Where did you go? My vill. Where is medium? I've ever heard of IT.

Now let me tell you what i've been doing in recent years. In twenty fifteen, I retired from my post as a designer for a furniture company, and since then i've been working as a volunteer. In twenty seventeen, I joined Green woodpath er, an organization that promotes environmental protection. At the beginning, I mostly worked in public square near the west railway station, helping the traffic police and give directions to passengers. Then my work focus changed when our city adopted the new tobacco control rules. In june twenty eighteen, I began a new task persuading people not to smoke in public places. In addition to the railway station, I have been going to places where there are many restaurants and bars. We work in groups of three and try to stop people from smoking. Fortunately, most smokers are supportive and put out their cigarettes when we ask them to, but that was not the case. In the early days, some smokers could become quite violent. I like being a volunteer. The work is exciting and makes me feel Young. IT has now become part of my life. Well, now let me tell you what i've been doing in recent years.
