Rachel Petersen, an Australian mom, was surprised by two photos from the past and present, because the two people in the photos looked so similar that it felt like almost being a magic moment.
One day, Rachel posted a picture online, showing a black-and-white photo of her great-grandmother, Hilary Sumpton, whom the family lovingly called “Memar”. Memar had passed away when Rachel was just 9 years old, but Rachel still had lively memories of her. The next slide in the post showed a picture of Rachel’s young daughter, Nyah. The resemblance (相像) between Nyah and Memar was striking, even though they were generations apart.
Rachel’s grandmother, Linda March, was the first to notice the similarity when Nyah turned two. While having tea one morning, Linda took out an old photo of Memar, and everyone immediately saw the resemblance. “They are complete opposites, so it was crazy to see Nyah twinning with my great-grandmother,” Rachel said.
This discovery brought back warm memories of her great-grandmother’s home in Merewether, New South Wales. Rachel remembered a large tree in the yard, and a winding path that felt like an adventure to her as a child. “On Wednesdays, Memar would come over for dinner, and we’d play together,” Rachel shared. She also remembered how Memar loved showing her jewelry (首饰), and Rachel was fortunate to inherit (继承) some pieces after Memar passed away.
Rachel’s post drew 1.4 million views. Many online users were amazed by the resemblance between Nyah and Memar. Some commented, “It’s unbelievable how genetics work,” while others noted how special it was for Rachel to see her daughter reflect her great-grandmother’s features.
For Rachel, this experience felt surreal but special. “It still blows my mind,” she said, reflecting on the fact that millions of people had seen her beloved Memar and her daughter, Nyah, side by side.

For a long time, scientists were unsure about when and where cats were domesticated (驯养). New research now shows that the time of cats becoming pets is much later than people once believed.
Researchers studied DNA from many ancient cat bones found in Europe and Türkiye. These cats lived as early as 6,000 years ago. At first, scientists thought they were early house cats. However, the DNA shows that they were actually wildcats, not truly domesticated ones. According to the new study, real domesticated cats did not leave Africa until about 2,000 years ago.
This discovery changes earlier ideas. In the past, many scientists believed that cats were first domesticated in ancient Egypt around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Cats were respected there and often appeared in art and stories. Later, a cat buried (埋葬) with a human in Cyprus suggested an even earlier start. Other studies also believed cats followed farmers into Europe because mice and rats were attracted to stored grain.
However, those earlier studies used only mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down from the mother. This gave an incomplete picture. In the new research, scientists examined full DNA from 87 ancient cats. They found that cats in Europe before about 200 BCE were still wildcats.
Some European wildcats carried genes from African wildcats. This does not mean they were pets. Instead, it suggests that different wildcat groups mixed naturally long before domestication began.
The study suggests that domesticated cats reached Europe much later. Places like Sardinia may have been important stops. Around 2000 years ago, both African wildcats and house cats appeared there.
Scientists believe the Romans may have helped spread cats across Europe by ship. Other ancient groups, such as the Phoenician, may also have played a role. Over time, these movements helped cats become one of the most popular pets in the world today.
8. What does the new research show about cats living in Europe 6,000 years ago?
A. They came from Africa. B. They were early house pets.
C. They lived with farmers. D. They were still wild animals.
9. What do we know about the new research?
A. It focuses on cat behavior. B. It did a survey about local wildlife.
C. It furthers our understanding of cats. D. It mainly studies modern pets.
10. What do the scientists intend to explain in the last paragraph?
A. Why domesticated cats became popular. B. How the Romans domesticated wildcats.
C. When humans started to raise cats at home. D. How domesticated cats spread worldwide.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Humans and Wild Animals B. A New Timeline of Cat Domestication
C. Wildcats in Ancient Europe D. The Rise and Fall of Modern Animals
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于猫驯养时间和地点的新研究,该研究推翻了以往的认知,明确了猫真正被驯养的时间更晚,以及驯化猫在欧洲的传播过程等相关情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Researchers studied DNA from many ancient cat bones found in Europe and Türkiye. These cats lived as early as 6,000 years ago. At first, scientists thought they were early house cats. However, the DNA shows that they were actually wildcats, not truly domesticated ones.(研究人员研究了在欧洲和土耳其发现的许多古代猫骨骼的DNA。这些猫生活在早在6000年前。起初,科学家们认为它们是早期的家猫。然而,DNA显示它们实际上是野猫,并非真正被驯化的猫)”可知,新研究表明6000年前生活在欧洲的猫仍然是野生动物。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For a long time, scientists were unsure about when and where cats were domesticated (驯养). New research now shows that the time of cats becoming pets is much later than people once believed.(长期以来,科学家们不确定猫是在何时何地被驯养的。现在的新研究表明,猫成为宠物的时间比人们曾经认为的要晚得多)”以及后文对新研究内容、结论的介绍可知,这项新研究进一步加深了我们对猫的了解。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Scientists believe the Romans may have helped spread cats across Europe by ship. Other ancient groups, such as the Phoenician, may also have played a role. Over time, these movements helped cats become one of the most popular pets in the world today.(科学家认为,罗马人可能通过船只帮助猫在欧洲传播。其他古代群体,如腓尼基人,可能也发挥了作用。随着时间的推移,这些迁移帮助猫成为了如今世界上最受欢迎的宠物之一)”可推断,科学家在最后一段想要解释驯化猫是如何在全球传播的。故选D项。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第二段中“However, the DNA shows that they were actually wildcats, not truly domesticated ones. According to the new study, real domesticated cats did not leave Africa until about 2,000 years ago.(然而,DNA 检测结果显示,它们实际上是野猫,而非真正被驯化的猫。根据这项新研究,真正的驯化猫直到约2000年前才离开非洲)”可知,文章围绕一项新研究展开,主要介绍了猫被驯养的时间比以往认知的更晚,以及相关的传播情况,核心是更新了猫驯养的时间线。B项“猫驯养的新时间线”,准确概括了文章核心主旨,可以作本文的最佳标题。故选B项。
D
Clouds play an important role in determining the current and future temperature and global warming rate of the Earth. They cool the Earth by reflecting (反射) sunlight and warm the planet by holding heat in the atmosphere and stopping it from escaping to space.
So, clouds and how they are changing with global warming are the leading source of uncertainty in researchers’ ability to predict (预测) future climate. Earth system models (ESMs) are the best tool to predict the state of the Earth in the future.
However, there is still a problem. Errors in the energy balance of ESMs can be traced to the time of day they predict clouds, according to a group of University of Wyoming (UW)researchers.
“In a paper, we show that in ESMs, there are errors in the timing of simulated (模拟的) cloud, which could have a momentous influence on the cooling effect of clouds on the Earth’s surface,” says Travis Aerenson, a scientist in the UW Department of Atmospheric Science. “Finally, however, the total error in the cooling effect of clouds in ESMs is small, so the current effect is not large.”
Aerenson, the paper’s lead author, explained that although the total cooling effect of clouds in the models seems close to reality, this is partly because of different errors canceling each other out. As a result, the models may give correct results, but for the wrong physical reasons. However, satellite data (数据) and a new model developed by the research team showed that errors in cloud timing can explain almost half of the mistakes in how models estimate cloud cooling.
These cloud errors increase uncertainty in predictions about how fast the Earth will warm in the future. However, they do not change the main fact that the Earth is getting warmer. The study also suggests new ideas for reducing climate change, such as making certain clouds brighter, causing more sunlight to be reflected by the clouds.
12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The increase in global temperature. B. Reflection of sunlight,
C. The role of clouds, D. Types of clouds,
13. What problem do UW researchers find in ESMs?
A. They mistake cloud height. B. They get cloud timing wrong.
C. They overuse satellite data. D. They don’t notice cloud movement.
14. What does the underlined word “momentous” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Positive. B. Informal. C. Personal. D. Important.
15. Why does the study mention brightening clouds?
A. To show a possible climate solution. B. To question current climate models.
C. To explain how clouds are formed. D. To reduce prediction uncertainty.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了云在决定地球当前和未来温度及全球变暖速率中的重要作用,以及研究人员发现地球系统模型(ESMs)在预测云的时间方面存在误差,同时提及该研究对减少气候变化的启示。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Clouds play an important role in determining the current and future temperature and global warming rate of the Earth. They cool the Earth by reflecting (反射) sunlight and warm the planet by holding heat in the atmosphere and stopping it from escaping to space.(云在决定地球当前和未来的温度以及全球变暖速率方面发挥着重要作用。它们通过反射阳光使地球降温,并通过将热量保留在大气中阻止其逃逸到太空来使地球升温)”可知,第一段主要介绍了云的作用。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Errors in the energy balance of ESMs can be traced to the time of day they predict clouds, according to a group of University of Wyoming (UW)researchers.(怀俄明大学(UW)的一组研究人员表示,地球系统模型(ESMs)能量平衡的误差可以追溯到它们预测云的时间段)”和第四段中的“In a paper, we show that in ESMs, there are errors in the timing of simulated (模拟的) cloud, which could have a momentous influence on the cooling effect of clouds on the Earth’s surface.(在一篇论文中,我们表明,在地球系统模型(ESMs)中,模拟云的时间存在误差,这可能会对云对地球表面的降温效果产生重大影响)”可知,怀俄明大学的研究人员发现地球系统模型(ESMs)存在预测云的时间不准确的问题。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“In a paper, we show that in ESMs, there are errors in the timing of simulated (模拟的) cloud, which could have a momentous influence on the cooling effect of clouds on the Earth’s surface.(在一篇论文中,我们表明,在地球系统模型(ESMs)中,模拟云的时间存在误差,这可能会对云对地球表面的降温效果产生momentous影响)”结合后文提及该误差能解释模型估算云降温效果近一半的错误,可推测该误差影响重大,由此猜测momentous意为“重要的”,与important同义。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The study also suggests new ideas for reducing climate change, such as making certain clouds brighter, causing more sunlight to be reflected by the clouds.(该研究还提出了减少气候变化的新想法,例如使某些云更明亮,让云反射更多的阳光)”可知,该研究提及使云更明亮是为了展示一种可能的气候解决方案。故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然华严洞的国宝文物现在享有尖端科技的保护,但守夜人唐平昌仍然每晚睡在大般若洞,似乎丝毫不敢放松警惕。此处作动词enjoy的宾语,且前面有定冠词the修饰,应用名词形式,protect的名词形式为protection,protection为不可数名词。故填protection。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:几年前,华严洞旁边的一块土地被分割了。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语Several years ago可知,要用一般过去时,且主语a piece of land与divide之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,故填was divided。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句引导词。句意:其中一部分分给了唐的父亲,他建造了唐现在仍然居住的房子。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Tang’s father,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用who引导。故填who。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:世世代代以来,包括唐家在内的石羊镇村民都喜欢去华严洞,因为那里冬暖夏凉。villager为可数名词,根据空后including Tang’s family可知,此处应用复数形式,表示多位村民。故填villagers。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:世世代代以来,包括唐家在内的石羊镇村民都喜欢去华严洞,因为那里冬暖夏凉。“warm in winter”与“cool in summer”是并列关系,应用并列连词and连接,构成“冬暖夏凉”的表达。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:闲暇时,他们会带上自己的孩子和年迈的亲戚去参观。此处修饰名词children,应用形容词性物主代词,they的形容词性物主代词为their,意为“他们的”。故填their。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:服役五年后,他退伍了,决定回家务农。decide to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“决定做某事”,此处应用动词不定式作宾语。故填to return。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:多年后的1999年,华严洞石窟年迈的守窟人李奎不得不退休,只留下他的同事陈师傅守护文物。此处用现在分词作结果状语,表示“退休”这一动作带来的自然结果,故填leaving。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:接到电话后,唐立刻同意接受这份工作。此处修饰动词agreed,应用副词形式,immediate的副词形式为immediately,意为“立刻、马上”。故填immediately。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:从那以后,唐平昌守护石窟已有22年,保护着这里的古代文物不受小偷和故意破坏者的侵害。protect...from...是固定搭配,意为“保护……免受……的侵害”,符合语境。故填from。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
One rainy night, when Victoria walked out of a fitness center, a small dog that was wet through, was sitting by the doors, staring inside. He was shaking. Victoria then walked up to him. The dog looked terrified but was friendly to her. With no one else around, Victoria knew she couldn’t leave him there. She picked up towels and covered him. Then she put him in her car and drove home.
The moment they got home, the dog relaxed. He had been outside in the rain for who knows how long. Now he was finally safe and warm. The next day, Victoria took him to the hospital. The doctor said the dog was all right. This meant Victoria could keep him.
Victoria named the dog Pluto. Pluto settled into his new home, learning routines and finding comfortable corners. Over the following months, Pluto turned from a shy dog into a confident and faithful friend. His favorite place was the carpet by the fireplace, and his gentle presence filled Victoria’s quiet house with a new kind of warmth. They often sat together in comfortable silence. Victoria read by the fire while Pluto slept quietly at her feet.
Then, one cold winter evening, their unspoken connection was tested in a way Victoria could never have imagined. After a long day’s work, she prepared a simple dinner and then went to bed early. What she didn’t know was that the kitchen stove had been leaking gas (泄漏煤气) slowly throughout the evening. As she fell into a deep dangerous sleep, Pluto became restless.
He walked around the room, touching Victoria’s hand, but she didn’t move. Pluto barked (吠叫) loud, but she remained unconscious (昏迷的). Recognizing that his usual way to warn did not work, Pluto picked up one of Victoria’s running shoes from the floor, and pushed his way through the small dog door to their neighbor Mr Jensen’s house.
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。
Pluto ran to Mr Jensen’s house quickly and began barking.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Mr Jensen forced (强行) the door open, he smelled the strong gas at once.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Pluto ran to Mr Jensen’s house quickly and began barking. He jumped up and down anxiously, holding Victoria’s shoe in his mouth and pushing it toward Mr Jensen. Mr Jensen, noticing the dog’s unusual restlessness and the shoe, realized something must be wrong. “Is it Victoria?” he asked in a hurry. Pluto barked louder, nodding his head as if in reply. Without hesitation, Mr Jensen grabbed his coat and followed Pluto to Victoria’s house.
When Mr Jensen forced (强行) the door open, he smelled the strong gas at once. He rushed into the bedroom and found Victoria lying unconscious on the bed. Quickly, he opened all the windows to let the gas out and called the emergency number. Soon, doctors arrived and took Victoria to the hospital. Thanks to Pluto’s timely warning, Victoria recovered soon. From then on, their bond became even stronger, a silent promise of mutual protection that would last a lifetime.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Victoria雨夜救下流浪狗Pluto,一人一狗相依相伴建立深厚感情,在一个寒冬夜晚,Victoria因煤气泄漏陷入昏迷,Pluto机智求救邻居Mr Jensen,成功挽救主人生命的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句“Pluto飞快地跑到Jensen先生家,开始大声吠叫。”可知,接下来可描写Pluto向Mr Jensen传递求救信号的急切状态,通过动作、神态体现其救主心切,以及Mr Jensen察觉异常后迅速响应的过程。
② 由第二段首句“当Jensen先生强行撞开门时,立刻闻到了浓重的煤气味。”可知,接下来可描写Mr Jensen发现险情后的紧急处置,Victoria的救治情况,以及事件后续一人一狗羁绊愈发深厚的结局。
2. 续写线索:
急切求救——邻居察觉异常随行——发现煤气泄漏险情——紧急救助——主人顺利康复——一人一狗羁绊加深
3.词类激活:

Rachel Petersen, an Australian mom, was surprised by two photos from the past and present, because the two people in the photos looked so similar that it felt like almost being a magic moment.
One day, Rachel posted a picture online, showing a black-and-white photo of her great-grandmother, Hilary Sumpton, whom the family lovingly called “Memar”. Memar had passed away when Rachel was just 9 years old, but Rachel still had lively memories of her. The next slide in the post showed a picture of Rachel’s young daughter, Nyah. The resemblance (相像) between Nyah and Memar was striking, even though they were generations apart.
Rachel’s grandmother, Linda March, was the first to notice the similarity when Nyah turned two. While having tea one morning, Linda took out an old photo of Memar, and everyone immediately saw the resemblance. “They are complete opposites, so it was crazy to see Nyah twinning with my great-grandmother,” Rachel said.
This discovery brought back warm memories of her great-grandmother’s home in Merewether, New South Wales. Rachel remembered a large tree in the yard, and a winding path that felt like an adventure to her as a child. “On Wednesdays, Memar would come over for dinner, and we’d play together,” Rachel shared. She also remembered how Memar loved showing her jewelry (首饰), and Rachel was fortunate to inherit (继承) some pieces after Memar passed away.
Rachel’s post drew 1.4 million views. Many online users were amazed by the resemblance between Nyah and Memar. Some commented, “It’s unbelievable how genetics work,” while others noted how special it was for Rachel to see her daughter reflect her great-grandmother’s features.
For Rachel, this experience felt surreal but special. “It still blows my mind,” she said, reflecting on the fact that millions of people had seen her beloved Memar and her daughter, Nyah, side by side.
4. How did Rachel probably feel about the two photos?
A. Disappointed. B. Fortunate. C. Surprised. D. Proud.
5. What do the two photos reflect about Nyah?
A. She looks a little crazy. B. She is unaware of her strengths.
C. She looks exactly like her twin sister. D. She has a similar look to Memar.
6. How did the discovery mentioned in the text affect Rachel?
A. It allowed her to become famous online. B. It reminded her of her childhood memories.
C. It made her pass her jewelry to her daughter. D. It enabled her to form the habit of taking photos.
7. What can we learn about Rachel?
A She has mixed feelings about her family. B. She spends too much time surfing the Internet.
C. She misses her great-grandmother deeply. D. She is a determined and warm-hearted mother.

For a long time, scientists were unsure about when and where cats were domesticated (驯养). New research now shows that the time of cats becoming pets is much later than people once believed.
Researchers studied DNA from many ancient cat bones found in Europe and Türkiye. These cats lived as early as 6,000 years ago. At first, scientists thought they were early house cats. However, the DNA shows that they were actually wildcats, not truly domesticated ones. According to the new study, real domesticated cats did not leave Africa until about 2,000 years ago.
This discovery changes earlier ideas. In the past, many scientists believed that cats were first domesticated in ancient Egypt around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Cats were respected there and often appeared in art and stories. Later, a cat buried (埋葬) with a human in Cyprus suggested an even earlier start. Other studies also believed cats followed farmers into Europe because mice and rats were attracted to stored grain.
However, those earlier studies used only mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down from the mother. This gave an incomplete picture. In the new research, scientists examined full DNA from 87 ancient cats. They found that cats in Europe before about 200 BCE were still wildcats.
Some European wildcats carried genes from African wildcats. This does not mean they were pets. Instead, it suggests that different wildcat groups mixed naturally long before domestication began.
The study suggests that domesticated cats reached Europe much later. Places like Sardinia may have been important stops. Around 2,000 years ago, both African wildcats and house cats appeared there.
Scientists believe the Romans may have helped spread cats across Europe by ship. Other ancient groups, such as the Phoenician, may also have played a role. Over time, these movements helped cats become one of the most popular pets in the world today.
8. What does the new research show about cats living in Europe 6,000 years ago?
A. They came from Africa. B. They were early house pets.
C. They lived with farmers. D. They were still wild animals.
9. What do we know about the new research?
A. It focuses on cat behavior. B. It did a survey about local wildlife.
C. It furthers our understanding of cats. D. It mainly studies modern pets.
10. What do the scientists intend to explain in the last paragraph?
A. Why domesticated cats became popular. B. How the Romans domesticated wildcats.

Clouds play an important role in determining the current and future temperature and global warming rate of the Earth. They cool the Earth by reflecting (反射) sunlight and warm the planet by holding heat in the atmosphere and stopping it from escaping to space.
So, clouds and how they are changing with global warming are the leading source of uncertainty in researchers’ ability to predict (预测) future climate. Earth system models (ESMs) are the best tool to predict the state of the Earth in the future.
However, there is still a problem. Errors in the energy balance of ESMs can be traced to the time of day they predict clouds, according to a group of University of Wyoming (UW)researchers.
“In a paper, we show that in ESMs, there are errors in the timing of simulated (模拟的) cloud, which could have a momentous influence on the cooling effect of clouds on the Earth’s surface,” says Travis Aerenson, a scientist in the UW Department of Atmospheric Science. “Finally, however, the total error in the cooling effect of clouds in ESMs is small, so the current effect is not large.”
Aerenson, the paper’s lead author, explained that although the total cooling effect of clouds in the models seems close to reality, this is partly because of different errors canceling each other out. As a result, the models may give correct results, but for the wrong physical reasons. However, satellite data (数据) and a new model developed by the research team showed that errors in cloud timing can explain almost half of the mistakes in how models estimate cloud cooling.
These cloud errors increase uncertainty in predictions about how fast the Earth will warm in the future. However, they do not change the main fact that the Earth is getting warmer. The study also suggests new ideas for reducing climate change, such as making certain clouds brighter, causing more sunlight to be reflected by the clouds.
12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The increase in global temperature. B. Reflection of sunlight,
C. The role of clouds, D. Types of clouds,
13. What problem do UW researchers find in ESMs?
A. They mistake cloud height. B. They get cloud timing wrong.
C. They overuse satellite data. D. They don’t notice cloud movement.
14. What does the underlined word “momentous” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Positive. B. Informal. C. Personal. D. Important.
15. Why does the study mention brightening clouds?
A. To show a possible climate solution. B. To question current climate models.
C. To explain how clouds are formed. D. To reduce prediction uncertainty.

47. 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。
One rainy night, when Victoria walked out of a fitness center, a small dog that was wet through, was sitting by the doors, staring inside. He was shaking. Victoria then walked up to him. The dog looked terrified but was friendly to her. With no one else around, Victoria knew she couldn’t leave him there. She picked up towels and covered him. Then she put him in her car and drove home.
The moment they got home, the dog relaxed. He had been outside in the rain for who knows how long. Now he was finally safe and warm. The next day, Victoria took him to the hospital. The doctor said the dog was all right. This meant Victoria could keep him.
Victoria named the dog Pluto. Pluto settled into his new home, learning routines and finding comfortable corners. Over the following months, Pluto turned from a shy dog into a confident and faithful friend. His favorite place was the carpet by the fireplace, and his gentle presence filled Victoria’s quiet house with a new kind of warmth. They often sat together in comfortable silence. Victoria read by the fire while Pluto slept quietly at her feet.
Then, one cold winter evening, their unspoken connection was tested in a way Victoria could never have imagined. After a long day’s work, she prepared a simple dinner and then went to bed early. What she didn’t know was that the kitchen stove had been leaking gas (泄漏煤气) slowly throughout the evening. As she fell into a deep dangerous sleep, Pluto became restless.
He walked around the room, touching Victoria’s hand, but she didn’t move. Pluto barked (吠叫) loud, but she remained unconscious (昏迷的). Recognizing that his usual way to warn did not work, Pluto picked up one of Victoria’s running shoes from the floor, and pushed his way through the small dog door to their neighbor Mr Jensen’s house.
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。
Pluto ran to Mr Jensen’s house quickly and began barking.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Mr Jensen forced (强行) the door open, he smelled the strong gas at once.
