【解析】细节理解题。文章介绍了四位女飞行员的成就，她们都为女性飞行事业做出了重要贡献。 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与住在法国的祖母Memere之间跨越距离的情感纽带，以及 通过每年夏天的相聚逐渐建立起深厚感情的故事。 24.【答案B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“It was an opportunity to learn independence in my birth country..”可知 答案。 25.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“I was astonished,but her laughter made me realize she had a humour that surprised me.I grew to love it..”可知答案。 26.【答案】D 【解析】词义猜测题。结合上下文，作者每年夏天都会去法国和Méere一起度过，这已经成了一种传统或 习惯。 27.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“She greeted us with a playful smile and asked,‘Do you want wine or beer?'I was astonished,but her laughter made me realize she had a humour that surprised me.I grew to love it.”可知，Memere在作者和她姐姐到达时，用一个玩世不恭的微笑迎接她们，并问她们想要葡萄酒还 是啤酒，这显示了她的幽默感。根据第三段“She cooked my favourite meals”可知祖母是很关心人的 (caring)。 【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了写作和阅读对深度思考的重要性，以及随着读写能力下降和播客 等有声媒体兴起，社会可能正逐渐进入一个“后读写时代”，这引发了人们对思想、文化和智力发展的担忧，但同 时也有必要看到有声媒体在表达和交流上的独特优势。 28.【答案B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“misrepresent your true thoughts”“change your original ideas”“weaken the nuances'”等表述，揭示写作可能因追求清晰度和吸引力而偏离真实想法。 29.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“A study found that two-fifths of British people hadn't read a single book in the past year.Meanwhile,podcasts are booming.Almost half of Americans over 12 listened to a podcast in the past month,and in the UK,30%of adults listen weekly for an average of five hours and 27 minutes."u 知作者通过列数字来支持她的观点。 30.【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。文章末段通过姐妹的例子说明播客能承载比专栏更丰富的“nuance”,且末段提到“it's harder to convey nuance in a short column than in a long podcast'”可推断作者承认播客在表达细微差别上的 优势。 31.【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。本文的主要目的是讨论识字率下降和播客越来越受欢迎的更广泛影响，这表明这些趋 势可能会导致一个书面交流不那么重要的“后读写时代”。 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，高压电线产生的电场信号会干扰蜜蜂的自然行为，使其减少在附近 花朵上的停留，这可能对昆虫行为产生广泛影响。 32.【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“But to date,little is known about how human-generated electricity impacts this natural behaviour among insects.To investigate,Liam O'Reilly at the University of Bristol,UK,and his team tested how the behaviour of Western honeybee changed when different kinds of electric fields were applied to the air around a plant.”可知Liam O'Reilly和他的团队进行研究是为了调查人类产生的电力 (electric fields)对昆虫自然行为的影响。 33.【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可以推测出：Liam O'Reilly提到，交流电处理的前10分钟效果非 常显著，着陆次数远少于对照植物。这表明蜜蜂在短期内对交流电非常敏感。 34.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段“This study confirms doubts that power lines can affect insect behaviour, according to Sam England from the Museum of Natural History Berlin.”可知，Sam England的陈述提到，这 项研究“确认了我们之前对电力线可能影响昆虫行为的怀疑”。可以推测出：研究结果与之前的猜测一致， 因此结果是预期的。 35.【答案】B 【解析】标题归纳题。文章开篇指出电力线路的电信号会阻碍蜜蜂降落在附近花朵上，接着通过研究团队的 实验，具体阐述了交流电和直流电产生的电场对蜜蜂降落行为的影响，最后说明该发现的潜在影响及后续 研究需求。全文围绕“电力线路对蜜蜂的影响”展开，B选项准确概括了文章核心内容。 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了五种提升沟通技巧的方法：简洁明了地表达、提前做好准备、注意 非语言沟通、关注语气以及培养情商，以帮助人们更有效地沟通并取得成功。 36.【答案】B 【解析】根据上文“Before engaging in any form of communication,define your goals and your audience.(在进 行任何形式的交流之前，确定你的目标和受众。)”以及下文“It will help you avoid irrelevant details,.(它将 帮助你避免不相关的细节。)”可知这里需要一个具体的做法。B选项“Outlining carefully what you want to express is vital.(仔细概述你想要表达的内容是至关重要的。)”指出了仔细概述内容能明确目标和受众，避 免无关细节，符合语境。 37.【答案】D 【解析】此段主题是“Prepare ahead of time,(提前准备。)”，上文提到“Preparation means thinking about the whole process of communication,from start to finish..(准备意味着从始至终考虑整个沟通过程。)”，D选项 “Research the information you may need to support your message,(研究你可能需要用来支持你信息的资 料。)”，研究资料是提前准备的一个方面，且与下文“Consider how you will respond to questions and criticisms.Try to anticipate the unexpected.(考虑你将如何回应问题和批评。尽量预测意外情况。)”在准备 的内容上相呼应。 38.【答案】A 【解析】根据下文“Our facial expressions,gestures,and body language can,and often do,say more than our words..Nonverbal cues can have between65and93 percent more impact than the spoken word..(我们的面部 表情、手势和肢体语言往往比我们的言语更能说明问题。非语言暗示的影响力可能比言语高出65%到 93%。)”可知此段主要讲非语言交流。A选项“Be mindful of nonverbal communication.(注意非语言交 流。)”符合段落主旨。 39.【答案】F 【解析】此段主题是“Watch your tone,(注意你的语气。)”，上文提到“How you say something can be just as important as what you say.(你说话的方式和你说的内容同样重要。)”以及“A well-chosen word with a positive connotation creates trust.(一个带有积极内涵的精心选择的词会产生信任。)”，这里从正反两方面 阐述语气和用词的影响，F选项“A poorly chosen word with negative connotations can lead to misunderstanding.(一个带有消极内涵的选择不当的词可能会导致误解。)”与上文形成对比，符合语境。 40.【答案】C 【解析】此段主题是“Build your emotional intelligence,.(培养你的情商。)”，上文提到“Understanding and managing your own emotions is only one part of emotional intelligence,(理解和管理自己的情绪只是情商的 一部分。)”，C选项“The other part is understanding and caring about others'feelings.(另一部分是理解和关 心他人的感受。)”，承接上文，说明了情商的另一部分内容。 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家今年开始了一个新的传统一驾车观赏节日灯光秀，这 种方式既有趣又包容，能让所有人参与其中，还能带上宠物，为家人和朋友创造美好回忆。 41.【答案】B 【解析】考查名词。文章开头提到“filled with traditions'”,且设空处前面提到“This year,my family and I are starting a new..”,说明这里指的是开始一个新的传统。 42.【答案】C 【解析】考查形容词。根据后文“drive-thru holiday light displays”以及“a shared experience一one that everyone can participate in,no matter their.,”可知，这种活动是每个人都可以参与的，即对每个人来说都 是可获取的、可接触的。 43.【答案】A 【解析】考查动词。由后文“driving around town to look at holiday lights"以及“We love visiting,,”可知，作 者一家多年来一直喜欢开车四处欣赏节日灯光。 44.【答案】D 【解析】考查动词。在咖啡店应该是点一杯热饮。 45.【答案】A 【解析】考查介词短语。开车在社区四处寻找最好的节日装饰。in search of寻找。 46.【答案】A 【解析】考查副词。根据语境，去年作者一家意识到可以毫不费力地迎接新的驾车灯光秀浪潮。effortlessly 毫不费力地。 47.【答案】C

以及对现代建筑设计的启发。 56.【答案】1n 【解析】考查介词。in particular是固定搭配，意为“尤其，特别”，常用于列举具体例子或进一步说明前文提 到的内容。这里用来强调北方官式建筑在古代建筑技术中的重要地位。 57.【答案】features 【解析】考查名词复数。“one of the most famous..,.”后面需要接名词复数形式，表示“最著名的…之一” 因此，这里需要将feature变为复数形式features。 58.【答案】which 【解析】考查定语从句。这里需要一个关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的“the Warring States Period'”。由于从句缺少主语，且指代的是物，因此使用which。 59.【答案】are arranged 【解析】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。arrange在这里表示“排列”，与主语pieces之间是被动关系，因此需要 使用被动语态。同时，文章描述的是客观事实，所以使用一般现在时。主语“pieces'”是复数，因此答案为 “are arranged'"。 60.【答案】holding 【解析】考查非谓语动词。这里需要一个非谓语动词来修饰each layer,.表示“每一层支撑着上一层”。由于 hold与each layer之间是主动关系，因此使用现在分词holding作宾语补足语。 6l.【答案】evenly 【解析】考查副词。这里需要一个副词来修饰动词spreading,表示“均匀地分散”。因此，答案为evenly,即 even的副词形式。 62.【答案】an 【解析】考查冠词。earthquake是可数名词，且以元音音素开头，因此需要使用不定冠词an来修饰。 63.【答案】to protect 【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式表目的。 64.【答案】constructed 【解析】考查非谓语动词。这里需要一个非谓语动词来修饰the China Pavilion,表示“被建造”。由于 construct与the China Pavilion之间是被动关系，因此使用过去分词“constructed”作后置定语。 65.【答案】combination

Thank you！ 第二节 One possible version: "Hi,"she said softly,her voice barely above a whisper.The group of children turned to look at her.Emily stepped forward with a friendly smile."Hey there!Are you new to the club?I'm Emily.Do you have a pony too?"Tess nodded shyly."Yes,my pony is Damson."Emily's eyes lit up."That's so cool!We can talk about our ponies.Come on,join us.We were just discussing which pony is the fastest."Tess felt a wave of relief and excitement.She joined the group,and they spent the afternoon sharing stories and tips about their beloved ponies. Over the next few weeks,Tess felt more and more comfortable at the Pony Club.She learned new riding techniques,participated in jumping exercises,and even helped organize a small pony show.The initial shyness melted away as she bonded with Emily and others over their shared love for animals.The club became her heaven,a place where she could be herself without feeling like an outsider.Tess realized that sometimes,it just takes a little courage and a shared interest to find a new group of friends.And as she looked forward to each club meeting,she knew that she had finally found her place. 听力部分录音材料 (Text 1) M:Excuse me!Would you be so kind as to read this form for me?I've left my glasses behind. W:Certainly,sir.First of all,you need to fill in your name and address,followed by your telephone number. (Text 2) W:Darling,the record player looks rather old-fashioned. M:Indeed,it dates back to 1960.A workmate of mine found it in his grandparents'old house.Since he knows I collect such items,he presented it to me as a gift. (Text 3) M:You were really fond of the design,and it's on sale.Why didn't you buy the hat,Amy? W:Didn't you notice how the salesgirl treated me?It was as if I didn't exist! (Text 4) W:You seem really upset.Did you lose something valuable like the last time? M:No.Just look at this account-they copied my video ideas and now they're getting loads of likes! W:Honestly,that happens a lot on social media.We need to come up with a strategy to prevent that. (Text 5) M:Come in. W:Good afternoon,Mr.Smith.I'm here for my case.

W:Really?That's wonderful news! (Text 6) M:This hotel is beautiful,isn't it?I really hope the clouds clear up by the afternoon.I'm not a fan of rainy days like the one we had yesterday. W:Absolutely,I love this seaside hotel.If the sun comes out,the view will be even more wonderful. M:True.I'm really pleased that we chose this room.

(Text 7) M:Hi,Sally.Since I know you're not a fan of tea,I got you a cup of coffee instead.Here's some milk you can add if you like. W:That's really thoughtful of you.So,what's on your mind?

M:You can bring him back next week for a routine check-up.By the way,how often do you give him a bath? Look,his fur isn't very clean. W:I did take him to a pet store for a bath,but some of the staff were quite rude.I'm afraid to do it on my own, so my mother usually takes care of it.Unfortunately,she's been busy with her work lately and has no time for it. M:Bathing pets is easier than you might think.All you need are some gloves,pet soap,and a large basin.Just be careful around his head and ears. (Text9) M:Excuse me,I'm new to this area and I need some information about the community centre.

(Text 10) Are you always up for an adventure?If so,you'll be very interested in this news.As we all know,space tourism companies from America and Britain have been working hard to make space the next must-visit vacation spot. Actually,not only are American and British space tourism companies making efforts,but the French company Zephalto is also set to create a unique experience.Zephalto will soon make having a Michelin-star-level meal on the"edge of space"a reality.Zephalto is currently selling"pre-reservation tickets"for upcoming trips in a pressurized unit called Celeste.One ticket is about $10,900 and it gives the buyer a chance to reserve a seat whenever tickets go on sale.In total,a trip on Celeste will set you back around $131,100.Celeste promises to carry six passengers and two pilots to the maximum level in just 90 minutes,at a speed of four metres per second.The unit will then float above Earth for three hours-plenty of time to enjoy a big meal and several glasses of fine French wine.While Celeste's food and drink options will be amazing,the view remains the central focus of the trip.All guests will be allowed to appreciate and take in the beauty of their surroundings.天祝藏族白治第中学高三寒假练习试卷（一） 英 语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟， 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题 卡上的指定位置， 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区战内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上 的非答题区域均无效 折 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答 题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交， 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? 叠 A.￡19.15.

Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) Amelia Earhart is arguably the best pilot in the world for her daring spirit and ground- breaking achievements.She was the first pilot in the world to break gender rules and show women they could take to the skies.In 1932,she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone,inspiring generations of female pilots. Jacqueline Cochran (1906-1980) Jacqueline Cochran broke more aviation()records than any other pilot-male or female-in history.She was the first woman to break the sound barrier in 1953,leading the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)during World War II.Her leadership,skill, and determination proved that women could fly military aircraft just as well as men. Sarla Thakral (1914-2008) Sarla Thakral was one of the best pilots from India who broke social rules to follow her love for flying.At just 21 years old,she flew alone in a Gypsy Moth aircraft in 1936. Thakral's journey is one of perseverance ()-after facing personal loss and the interruption of her training during World War II,she reinvented herself in other fields but never lost her passion for aviation. Jerrie Mock (1925-2014) In 1964,Jerrie Mock became the first woman to fly alone around the world.Her 29-day journey in a single-engine Cessna 180,called "Spirit of Columbus",covered over 22,000 miles.Mock faced challenges such as severe weather and emergency landings at secret military bases but pushed through,setting new records for female pilots. 21.Who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone? A.Amelia Earhart. B.Jacqueline Cochran. C.Sarla Thakral. D.Jerrie Mock. 22.When did a woman pilot take a 29-day journey around the world alone? A.In1932. B.In1936. C.In1953. D.In1964. 23.What do the four pilots have in common? A.They contributed to the female flying cause. B.They played important roles in World War II. C.They flew around the world in single-engine planes. D.They achieved their flying dreams after the age of 30 B I didn't see my grandmother,Memere,often.She lived in Chauconin-Neufmontiers, a small village near Paris,while I grew up in Henderson,outside Las Vegas.Despite the 5,436 miles between us,daily phone calls made her presence feel close.I would chat in French about school and home while she listened,sometimes sharing a joke.Yet,I hardly knew her,having only seen a few faded photos of her in albums.She was a mystery( 秘)一a voice without a face. When I was 11,my mother suggested I spend a summer with Memere.It was an opportunity to learn independence in my birth country.My sister and I flew alone to France.At the airport,I held my passport tightly,nervous but excited.When we arrived at Memere's 500-year-old house,I finally saw her.She greeted us with a playful smile and asked,"Do you want wine or beer?"I was astonished,but her laughter made me realize she had a humour that surprised me.I grew to love it. Memere's house initially felt strange but soon became a home.The kitchen became my favourite spot,where I picked out treats like raspberry lemon ice cream and Haribo candy. She cooked my favourite meals-croque monsieur and shepherd's pie-while her favourite show,"Plus Belle La Vie",played in the background.In the evenings,we danced to Keen'V and Stromae.Gradually,her house felt like home. Memere made sure we were part of village life,sending us to the bakery and treating us to homemade pizza from the local food truck. For years,spending summers with Memere became my ritual.Each visit felt warmer, and each departure made me cry.When I was 21,Memere passed away from lung cancer. On my first return to France after her death,I visited her tomb.The village felt empty without her laughter and jokes.I realized how those summers had transformed her once- empty home into a treasured place.Though she's gone,I'll never lose her again. 24.Why did the author's mother suggest she spend a summer with Memere? A.To improve her French. B.To develop independence. C.To learn about her family history. D.To help Memere with household chores. 25.How did the author feel when she heard her grandmother's greeting? A.Shocked. B.Disappointed.C.Nervous. D.Excited. 26.What does the underlined word "ritual"in the last paragraph mean? A.Task. B.Celebration. C.Adventure. D.Tradition. 27.Which of the following can best describe the author's grandmother? A.Humorous and caring. B.Conventional and strict. C.Determined and helpful. D.Humble and devoted. C Writing is a powerful tool for clarifying your thoughts.As Joan Didion said,"I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking,what I see and what it means.However,writing, especially opinion pieces,can sometimes misrepresent your true thoughts.The need to create clear and engaging content might change your original ideas.Other factors like deadlines or a desire to please can also weaken the nuances(细微差别)of your thinking.A workmate once said she knew she had written a good column when she read it back and genuinely agreed with herself. In recent months,I've been thinking about this while reading about worrying trends in literacy(读写能力).High school graduates are entering colleges without having read a book completely.A study found that two-fifths of British people hadn't read a single book in the past year.Meanwhile,podcasts()are booming.Almost half of Americans over 12 listened to a podcast in the past month,and in the UK,30%of adults listen weekly for an average of five hours and 27 minutes. This has led to concerns that we are becoming a "post-literate society",where the written word is no longer central to shaping our thinking,politics,and culture.The argument goes that we are becoming less intelligent,relying more on overused expressions and fixed ideas,and caring more about feelings than careful thinking. I share these worries.Writing and reading provide a space for deep thought that audio and visual media often lack.Apps that summarize books make me feel uneasy.As Maryanne Wolf writes,reading frees the brain to have deeper thoughts.There is no shortcut for this. However,these discussions often overlook the positives of spoken word media.For example,my sister recommended a podcast from a newspaper she finds unreadable.She said the hosts seemed less narrow-minded when speaking than when writing.This might be because it's harder to convey nuance in a short column than in a long podcast. 28.What can we know about the author's view on writing opinion pieces? A.It requires limited creativity. B.It risks changing genuine beliefs. C.It guarantees intellectual honesty. D.It depends on approval from others. 29.How does the author support her argument in Paragraph 2? A.By listing figures. B.By making assumptions. C.By quoting experts'words. D.By sharing personal experiences. 30.What does the author think of podcasts? A.She opposes their growing popularity. B.She thinks they contribute to declining literacy. C.She believes they are superior to written media. D.She admits their potential for nuanced expression. 31.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To explain the benefits of being a columnist. B.To promote the use of podcasts as an alternative to reading. C.To describe the author's personal experience of writing opinion pieces. D.To discuss how falling literacy and rising podcasts affect society. D Electric signals from power lines discourage bees from landing on nearby flowers,and there is growing concern that this so-called "electric pollution"could be causing widespread disturbance to insect behaviour. Alongside bumblebees,honeybees have been shown to detect and respond to airborne electric fields,which are often caused by static()electricity in the natural world. Honeybees use electroreception as a form of communication,and both honeybees and bumblebees are thought to use it to locate nectar()-rich flowers.But to date,little is known about how human-generated electricity impacts this natural behaviour among insects.To investigate,Liam O'Reilly at the University of Bristol,UK,and his team tested how the behaviour of Western honeybee changed when different kinds of electric fields were applied to the air around a plant. They created an electric field using a weak alternating current (AC),copying the environment 60 to 100 metres from a high-voltage mains power line,for 2 hours.This reduced honeybee landings on the affected plant by 71 percent compared with a nearby control plant. "The first 10 minutes of the AC treatment was a really dramatic difference-there were far fewer landings than the control,"says O'Reilly."Alternating current is just completely foreign to bees.Landings did increase on the treatment plant as the trial continued,but never reached control levels,notes O'Reilly.In another test,the team created an electric field using direct current(DC),like the power generated by a battery, reducing landings by 53 percent compared with the control. The findings.have worrying implications,especially given the widespread presence of electricity facilities in most nations.In the UK alone,nearly 70,000 square kilometres of land where bees search for food are within the range of high-voltage transmission lines( 压输电线).This study confirms doubts that power lines can affect insect behaviour,. according to Sam England from the Museum of Natural History Berlin. More research is needed to understand the long-term impact of electricity facilities on insect behaviour in real-world settings. 32.Why did Liam O'Reilly conduct the research? A.To prove that bees can detect electric fields B.To explore the impact of electric fields on bees. C.To compare the effectiveness of AC and DC on bees. D.To find a way to protect bees from electric pollution. 33.What can be inferred about the first 10 minutes of the AC treatment? A.Bees were not affected by AC at all. B.Bees'landing frequency increased significantly. C.Bees were highly sensitive to AC in the short term. D.Bees quickly adapted to AC and landed more frequently. 34.What does Sam England's statement suggest about the study's findings? A.They are as expected. B.They are surprising. C.They are doubtful. D.They are debatable. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Bees and Electric Fields B.Power Lines'Impact on Bees C.Electric Pollution and Flowers D.Honeybees'Response to AC and DC 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The ability to communicate effectively is very important.Here are five tips to help you improve your communication skills. ●Be clear and brief.

How you say something can be just as important as what you say.As with other nonverbal cues,your tone can add power to your message,or it can weaken it entirely.A well-chosen word with a positive connotation()creates trust.39 OBuild your emotional intelligence. Communication is built upon a foundation of emotional intelligence.Understanding and managing your own emotions is only one part of emotional intelligence.40 Empathizing with (an employee can,for example,make a difficult conversation easier. A.Be mindful of nonverbal communication. B.Outlining carefully what you want to express is vital. C.The other part is understanding and caring about others'feelings. D.Research the information you may need to support your message. E.To express your message in a speech,adopting the right tone is crucial.

Every morning,Tess would rush out to greet Damson,brushing his coat and feeding him apples.It was the one part of her day she truly looked forward to.The rest of it, however,was a different story. School had been a struggle.Tess had always been a quiet girl,and moving to a new place had only made things worse.She tried to fit in with the other kids,but they seemed to have their own groups and didn't welcome her with open arms.She spent most of her lunch breaks alone,feeling like an outsider. One evening,as she sat on the grass beside Damson,tears welled up in her eyes."I miss my old friends,Damson,”she whispered,her voice trembling(颤抖).“Idon't think I'll ever fit in here.Damson gently rubbed his head against her hand,as if trying to comfort her. Her mother noticed her sadness and suggested she join the local Pony Club."It's a great way to meet other horse lovers,"she said,giving Tess an encouraging smile. “Maybe you'l find some friends there.” The next day,Tess went to the club.She was nervous,but she couldn't deny the excitement of being around other horses.As she walked into the stable yard,she saw a group of children grooming()their ponies and chatting happily.Among them,there was a tall girl standing beside a white pony.Tess learned that her name was Emily through their conversation.She hesitated for a moment before approaching them. 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。 "Hi,"she said softly,her voice barely above a whisper.
