Their grandmother, a famous cookie designer, was retiring. She held a competition between them, saying, "The cost of success is more than effort; it's the courage to keep going when you feel disappointment." The task was to bake her signature cookie. The difficulty was not in the recipe, but in the process. It required standing before a hot oven for hours, waiting for the perfect moment. Leo, who loved instant entertainment, saw this as a disadvantage. After his first batch burned, he felt deep disappointment and quit. "The cost is too high," he cried. He chose a different direction, focusing on quick, easy treats. Ben, however, made a firm decision. He remembered his grandmother's description of true skill: "It’s about depth, not speed." He felt a strong desire to learn. His elder sister gave him encouragement, saying, "Your education is in the oven." Despite the difficulty, Ben used all his energy, adjusting the diet of ingredients little by little. His effort was immense. After a dozen failed attempts, he finally succeeded. The delight on his grandmother's face was his reward. "You've learned," she said. "The main difference is not talent, but the courage to face disappointment and continue. True success has a cost, and you've paid it with your patience." Ben won the family recipe. Leo learned a hard lesson that day: the sweetest cookie is not the fastest one, but the one earned through perseverance. 1.Why did Leo fail in the cookie competition? A. He ate all the cookies before the test. B. He didn't have an elder sister to give him encouragement. C. He felt disappointed after early failure and quit too quickly. D. He spent too much energy discussing the recipe. 2.What does the word "cost" most likely mean in the grandmother's advice? A. The price of buying sugar and butter. B. A feeling of deep disappointment. C. A delicious type of cookie. D. The payment or sacrifice required to achieve something. 3.What can we infer about Ben's character from the story? A. He was naturally a better cook than his brother. B. He was patient, persistent, and willing to learn from failure. C. He believed entertainment was more important than duty. D. He thought the competition was a waste of his energy. 4.What was the main difference between Leo and Ben's approaches? A. Leo wanted to be a designer, but Ben wanted to be an employee. B. Leo baked a dozen cookies, while Ben only baked one. C. Leo focused on speed, while Ben valued depth and perseverance. D. Leo cooked for delight, while Ben cooked for earning money. 5.What is the main lesson of this fable? A. Grandmothers always have the best cookie recipes. B. The cost of ingredients is the most important part of baking. C. Competitions between brothers are always harmful. D. True success often requires the courage to persist through difficulty and disappointment. B Two brothers, Kael and Ren, lived near a vast desert. Their elder sister often told them stories of the lush lands beyond it, filling them with desire to see it for themselves. "The journey requires great courage," she warned. "Its cost is not just water, but your energy and will." Kael was driven by the thought of wealth and new entertainment. He saw the journey as a quick way to change their earning. Ren, however, was quieter. His direction was guided by a deeper curiosity, a wish for education about the world. They packed supplies and entered the desert. The depth of its silence was overwhelming. On the third day, they faced an emergency—a sandstorm. Kael, in panic, wanted to turn back, his disappointment already turning into fear. "This is a disease of the mind!" he shouted. "Our credit back home will be ruined!" Ren remembered their sister's encouragement: "True strength is found in stillness." He found a rock shelter and calmly drew a drawing in the sand to pass the time, calming them both. After the storm, they continued. When they finally reached the green valley, the difference was stunning. Kael realized the real treasure wasn't the destination, but the perseverance it took to get there. He had learned the degree of his own resilience. The brothers returned home changed. Their greatest earning was not gold, but the understanding that the most barren desert can teach the most fertile lessons. 6.Why did the two brothers want to cross the desert? A. To escape a dangerous disease spreading at home. B. To find materials for a new form of entertainment. C. To reach the lush lands they had heard about from their sister. D. To map the desert's direction for future travelers. 7.What does the word "credit" most likely mean when Kael fears it will be ruined? A. A sum of money saved in a bank. B. The amount of energy they had left. C. A unit of study in their education. D. Their good reputation and standing back home. 8.How did Ren's reaction to the sandstorm differ from Kael's? A. Ren was more disappointed and immediately gave up. B. Ren remained calm and used a simple activity to steady them. C. Ren blamed Kael for leading them in the wrong direction. D. Ren saw it as an opportunity for new entertainment. 9.What was the most important thing Kael learned from the journey? A. That deserts are always too dangerous to cross. B. That his elder sister's stories were not true. C. How to draw accurate maps to avoid emergencies. D. The value of the perseverance needed to reach a goal. 10.What is the main lesson of this story? A. Quick riches are the best motivation for any journey. B. Hardship and challenge can teach us valuable lessons about ourselves. C. Older sisters usually give bad advice about deserts. D. Staying home is always safer than seeking adventure. C In a dry country, a young man named Leo saw his village suffering. The river was drying up, and the elders said change would come at great cost—not of money, but of effort and courage. Leo felt a deep desire to help. He made a decision: he would find a new water source. The difficulty was immense. The only possible direction was toward the distant mountains, a journey through a harsh desert. Many villagers expressed disappointment, saying it was a fool's course of action. His elder sister, however, gave him her credit—her trust—and words of encouragement. "Your education is not from books, but from this earth," she said. With little energy but strong will, Leo began. The depth of his resolve was tested daily. Once, he almost cried from disappointment when a path led nowhere. He remembered his sister's faith in him; it was his emergency supply of hope. After a dozen hard days, he found a hidden spring. He returned with a description of the route and a drawing of the land. The village followed his map. Water flowed again. The village held a celebration. They gave Leo no official degree or earning, but their gratitude was his true reward. He learned that the greatest difference one can make starts with a single brave decision. His story became the village's favorite entertainment, told to teach courage to all the children. 11.What was the main problem in Leo's village at the beginning? A. There was a dangerous disease spreading. B. The villagers had no entertainment or celebrations. C. The river was drying up, causing a water shortage. D. A strong elephant was blocking the road to the mountains. 12.What does the word "credit" most likely mean in the story? A. Trust or belief in someone's ability. B. A small amount of money saved over time. C. A good grade received in an education course. D. A written description of an event. 13.What can we infer about Leo's elder sister from the story? A. She was disappointed in Leo and tried to stop him. B. She was an employee who worked in the desert. C. She gave him money to buy supplies for his journey. D.She provided him with emotional support and trust. 14.What was the result of Leo's journey? A. He found a new water source and brought hope to the village. B. He became a famous designer in a big city. C. He decided to move to another country for a better diet. D. He caused an emergency that needed more courage to solve. 15.What is the main lesson of this fable? A. Money and earnings are the most important goals in life. B. A single brave decision and persistent effort can make a real difference. C. It is better to avoid difficulty and disappointment at all costs. D. Only people with a high degree of education can solve big problems. D What is the true purpose of education? Many students believe its main goal is to get a degree for better future earning. They see the high cost of study—money, time, energy—and expect a direct reward. However, the deepest value of learning lies not in a certificate, but in the personal journey. The path of learning is not a smooth course. It is more like crossing a mental desert, filled with difficulty and disappointment. You may work for a dozen hours on a single drawing or feel lost about your future direction. These moments test your courage. The real "elephant in the room"—the big, obvious challenge—is often our own fear of failure. This is where support matters. A word of encouragement from a teacher or an elder sister can make a huge difference. True learning requires the courage to ask questions, to face the depth of a problem, and to see failure not as death of hope, but as a step forward. It’s a decision to value effort over easy entertainment. In conclusion, while a degree is useful, the greater prize is the person you become. You gain the strength to handle any emergency in life and the wisdom to find delight in the process itself. That is the most valuable earning of all. 16.According to the passage, what do many students mistakenly believe is the main goal of education? A. To learn how to handle an emergency in the desert. B. To gain personal courage and face difficulties. C. To get a degree for better future financial earning. D. To find entertainment and delight in every course. 17.What does the phrase "elephant in the room" most likely refer to in the second paragraph? A. A large animal that makes learning difficult. B. The obvious, major challenge that people avoid talking about. C. A type of energy needed for deep study. D. A dozen different directions a student can take. 18.How does the author suggest we should view failure in the learning process? A. As a death of hope that should be avoided at all costs. B. As a normal step forward and a chance to learn. C. As a personal disappointment that requires crying. D. As an emergency that needs immediate help from a teacher. 19.What role does "encouragement" play, according to the text? A. It increases the financial cost of education. B. It is only useful for children, not adult employees. C. It makes a significant positive difference in a learner's journey. D. It is a form of entertainment that distracts from real effort. 20.What is the main point the author wants to make about education? A. Its highest value is the personal growth and strength you develop, not just a degree. B. It is too expensive and difficult, like a journey through a desert. C. The best part is the entertainment it provides along the way. D. A good diet and energy are the most important factors for success. E（2016年高考真题C） Recently, a study has confirmed what I’ve long known in my heart: two breakfasts are better than none. The research on the effect of breakfast on weight gain was done on school children. But for adults, in theory, two breakfasts are also better than none. Researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut followed 600 middle-school students as they developed from fifth to seventh grade, nothing their weight and if they had zero breakfast, breakfast either at home or at school, or breakfast in both places. They found that weight gain among second-breakfast eaters was no different from the average gain seen among all students. Children who didn’t eat breakfast, or ate it only sometimes, were more likely to be overweight than double-breakfasters. It should be noted that only about one in ten children in the study ate two breakfasts. The study wasn’t designed to figure out why this might be true, but the researchers have some theories: that people who don’t eat breakfast (or any meal) might overeat later in the day, and that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories（热量） by having no breakfast. Yes, school breakfasts are more like a healthy snack（零食） than a full meal, and growing teens can eat a large amount of food. But if you’re still not eating breakfast because you think it gives you more colories, you are not only mistaken, but you are also missing out one of life’s great pleasures. 21. What do we know about the research according to Paragraph 1? A. It was about the effect of dinner on weight gain. B. Its result was opposite to the author’s opinion. C. It was done on overweight school children. D. Its result might also be true of adults. 22. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2? A. About 90% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day. B. About 90% of the children in the study had one breakfast a day. C. About 10% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day. D. About 10% of the children in the study had no breakfast at all. 23. What does the underlined word obese mean in Paragraph 3? A. Overweight. B. Strong. C. Tall. D. Hungry. 24. According to the researchers, some people don’t eat breakfast because _____. A. they have no time B. they prefer snacks C. they want to keep fit D. they want to eat more at lunch 25. What is the best title of this passage? A. Breakfast and School Performance B. Breakfast and Weight Gain C. Breakfast and Life Pleasure D.

"The cost is too high," he cried.（第一批饼干烤焦后，他感到深深的失望并放弃了。“代价太高了，” 他哭着说）” 可知，Leo 在早期失败后感到失望，很快就放弃了，所以他在饼干比赛中失败了。故选 C。 2.词义猜测题。根据第一段 “The cost of success is more than effort; it's the courage to keep going when you feel disappointment.（成功的代价不仅仅是努力，更是在感到失望时继续前行的勇气）” 以及第四段 “True success has a cost, and you've paid it with your patience.（真正的成功是有代价的，你用你的耐心付出了这个代价）” 可知，“cost” 在这里的意思是 “实现某件事所需要的付出或牺牲”。故选 D。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段 “Ben, however, made a firm decision. He remembered his grandmother's description of true skill: "It’s about depth, not speed." He felt a strong desire to learn. Despite the difficulty, Ben used all his energy, adjusting the diet of ingredients little by little. His effort was immense. After a dozen failed attempts, he finally succeeded.（然而，Ben 做了坚定的决定。他想起了祖母对真正技艺的描述：“重要的是深度，而非速度。” 他有强烈的学习欲望。尽管困难重重，Ben 还是用尽所有精力，一点点调整配料的配比。他付出了巨大的努力。经过十几次失败的尝试，他终于成功了）” 可知，Ben 有耐心、有毅力，并且愿意从失败中学习。故选 B。 4.细节理解题。根据第二段 “Leo, who loved instant entertainment, saw this as a disadvantage. After his first batch burned, he felt deep disappointment and quit. He chose a different direction, focusing on quick, easy treats.（Leo 喜欢即时的娱乐，他把这看作一个劣势。第一批饼干烤焦后，他感到深深的失望并放弃了。他选择了不同的方向，专注于快速、简单的点心）” 以及第三段 “Ben, however, made a firm decision. He remembered his grandmother's description of true skill: "It’s about depth, not speed."（然而，Ben 做了坚定的决定。他想起了祖母对真正技艺的描述：“重要的是深度，而非速度。”）” 可知，Leo 注重速度，而 Ben 重视深度和坚持。故选 C。 5.主旨大意题。根据第四段 “The main difference is not talent, but the courage to face disappointment and continue. True success has a cost, and you've paid it with your patience.（主要的区别不在于天赋，而在于直面失望并继续前行的勇气。真正的成功是有代价的，你用你的耐心付出了这个代价）” 以及最后一段 “Leo learned a hard lesson that day: the sweetest cookie is not the fastest one, but the one earned through perseverance.（Leo 那天学到了一个惨痛的教训：最甜的饼干不是最快烤出来的，而是通过坚持换来的）” 可知，这个寓言的主要道理是真正的成功往往需要勇气，在困难和失望中坚持下去。故选 D。 B Two brothers, Kael and Ren, lived near a vast desert. Their elder sister often told them stories of the lush lands beyond it, filling them with desire to see it for themselves. "The journey requires great courage," she warned.

The river was drying up, and the elders said change would come at great cost—not of money, but of effort and courage. Leo felt a deep desire to help. He made a decision: he would find a new water source. The difficulty was immense. The only possible direction was toward the distant mountains, a journey through a harsh desert. Many villagers expressed disappointment, saying it was a fool's course of action. His elder sister, however, gave him her credit—her trust—and words of encouragement. "Your education is not from books, but from this earth," she said. With little energy but strong will, Leo began. The depth of his resolve was tested daily. Once, he almost cried from disappointment when a path led nowhere. He remembered his sister's faith in him; it was his emergency supply of hope. After a dozen hard days, he found a hidden spring. He returned with a description of the route and a drawing of the land. The village followed his map. Water flowed again. The village held a celebration. They gave Leo no official degree or earning, but their gratitude was his true reward. He learned that the greatest difference one can make starts with a single brave decision. His story became the village's favorite entertainment, told to teach courage to all the children. 11.What was the main problem in Leo's village at the beginning? A. There was a dangerous disease spreading. B. The villagers had no entertainment or celebrations. C. The river was drying up, causing a water shortage. D. A strong elephant was blocking the road to the mountains. 12.What does the word "credit" most likely mean in the story? A. Trust or belief in someone's ability. B. A small amount of money saved over time. C. A good grade received in an education course. D. A written description of an event. 13.What can we infer about Leo's elder sister from the story? A. She was disappointed in Leo and tried to stop him. B. She was an employee who worked in the desert. C. She gave him money to buy supplies for his journey. D.She provided him with emotional support and trust. 14.What was the result of Leo's journey? A. He found a new water source and brought hope to the village. B. He became a famous designer in a big city. C. He decided to move to another country for a better diet. D. He caused an emergency that needed more courage to solve. 15.What is the main lesson of this fable? A. Money and earnings are the most important goals in life. B. A single brave decision and persistent effort can make a real difference. C. It is better to avoid difficulty and disappointment at all costs. D. Only people with a high degree of education can solve big problems. 【答案】C A D A B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了里奥在村庄面临缺水困境时，不顾他人质疑，勇敢穿越沙漠寻找水源，最终成功为村庄找到新水源，体现了勇敢的决定和不懈努力能带来真正改变的道理。 11. 细节理解题。根据第一段 “The river was drying up, and the elders said change would come at great cost—not of money, but of effort and courage.（河流正在干涸，长辈们说改变需要付出巨大的代价 —— 不是金钱，而是努力和勇气）” 可知，里奥的村庄一开始的主要问题是河流干涸，导致水资源短缺。故选 C。 12. 词义猜测题。根据第二段 “His elder sister, however, gave him her credit—her trust—and words of encouragement.（然而，他的姐姐给予了他信任，还有鼓励的话语）” 可知，句中用破折号对 “credit” 进行解释，即 “trust（信任）”，所以 “credit” 的意思是对某人能力的信任或相信。故选 A。 13. 推理判断题。根据第二段 “His elder sister, however, gave him her credit—her trust—and words of encouragement.（然而，他的姐姐给予了他信任，还有鼓励的话语）” 可知，里奥的姐姐为他提供了情感上的支持和信任。故选 D。 14. 细节理解题。根据第四段 “After a dozen hard days, he found a hidden spring. He returned with a description of the route and a drawing of the land. The village followed his map. Water flowed again.（经过十几天的艰难跋涉，他找到了一处隐藏的泉水。他带着路线描述和地形图纸回来了。村民们按照他的地图行动，水又流了起来）” 可知，里奥旅程的结果是他找到了新的水源，给村庄带来了希望。故选 A。 15. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段 “He learned that the greatest difference one can make starts with a single brave decision.（他明白了，一个人能带来的最伟大的改变，始于一个勇敢的决定）” 以及全文里奥凭借勇敢决定和不懈努力解决村庄缺水问题的情节，可知这个寓言的主要道理是一个勇敢的决定和坚持不懈的努力能带来真正的改变。故选 B。 D What is the true purpose of education? Many students believe its main goal is to get a degree for better future earning. They see the high cost of study—money, time, energy—and expect a direct reward. However, the deepest value of learning lies not in a certificate, but in the personal journey. The path of learning is not a smooth course. It is more like crossing a mental desert, filled with difficulty and disappointment. You may work for a dozen hours on a single drawing or feel lost about your future direction. These moments test your courage. The real "elephant in the room"—the big, obvious challenge—is often our own fear of failure. This is where support matters. A word of encouragement from a teacher or an elder sister can make a huge difference. True learning requires the courage to ask questions, to face the depth of a problem, and to see failure not as death of hope, but as a step forward. It’s a decision to value effort over easy entertainment. In conclusion, while a degree is useful, the greater prize is the person you become. You gain the strength to handle any emergency in life and the wisdom to find delight in the process itself. That is the most valuable earning of all. 16.According to the passage, what do many students mistakenly believe is the main goal of education? A. To learn how to handle an emergency in the desert. B. To gain personal courage and face difficulties. C. To get a degree for better future financial earning. D. To find entertainment and delight in every course. 17.What does the phrase "elephant in the room" most likely refer to in the second paragraph? A. A large animal that makes learning difficult. B. The obvious, major challenge that people avoid talking about. C. A type of energy needed for deep study. D. A dozen different directions a student can take. 18.How does the author suggest we should view failure in the learning process? A. As a death of hope that should be avoided at all costs. B. As a normal step forward and a chance to learn. C. As a personal disappointment that requires crying. D. As an emergency that needs immediate help from a teacher. 19.What role does "encouragement" play, according to the text? A. It increases the financial cost of education. B. It is only useful for children, not adult employees. C. It makes a significant positive difference in a learner's journey. D. It is a form of entertainment that distracts from real effort. 20.What is the main point the author wants to make about education? A. Its highest value is the personal growth and strength you develop, not just a degree. B. It is too expensive and difficult, like a journey through a desert. C. The best part is the entertainment it provides along the way. D. A good diet and energy are the most important factors for success. 【答案】C B B C A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要探讨了教育的真正目的，指出许多学生将获取学位、获得高薪当作教育的主要目标是错误的，强调教育的深层价值在于个人成长、勇气与面对困难的能力，而非一纸证书。 16. 细节理解题。根据第一段 “Many students believe its main goal is to get a degree for better future earning.（许多学生认为教育的主要目标是获得学位，以便未来获得更好的收入）” 可知，许多学生错误地认为教育的主要目标是拿到学位以获得更好的未来经济收入。故选 C。 17. 词义猜测题。根据第二段 “The real 'elephant in the room'—the big, obvious challenge—is often our own fear of failure.（真正的‘房间里的大象’—— 那个巨大且显而易见的挑战 —— 往往是我们自己对失败的恐惧）” 可知，“elephant in the room” 指的是人们避而不谈的、明显的主要挑战。故选 B。 18. 细节理解题。根据第三段 “True learning requires the courage to ask questions, to face the depth of a problem, and to see failure not as death of hope, but as a step forward.（真正的学习需要勇气去提问，去直面问题的深度，把失败不看作希望的破灭，而是前进的一步）” 可知，作者建议我们把学习过程中的失败看作正常的前进步骤和学习的机会。故选 B。 19. 细节理解题。根据第三段 “A word of encouragement from a teacher or an elder sister can make a huge difference.（来自老师或姐姐的一句鼓励能产生巨大的影响）” 可知，鼓励在学习者的旅程中会产生显著的积极影响。故选 C。 20. 主旨大意题。根据第一段 “However, the deepest value of learning lies not in a certificate, but in the personal journey.（然而，学习最深层的价值不在于证书，而在于个人的成长历程）” 以及最后一段 “In conclusion, while a degree is useful, the greater prize is the person you become.（总之，虽然学位有用，但更重要的收获是你成为了怎样的人）” 可知，作者想要表达的关于教育的核心观点是，教育的最高价值是个人成长和自身能力的提升，而不仅仅是获得学位。故选 A。 E（2016年高考真题C） Recently, a study has confirmed what I’ve long known in my heart: two breakfasts are better than none. The research on the effect of breakfast on weight gain was done on school children. But for adults, in theory, two breakfasts are also better than none. Researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut followed 600 middle-school students as they developed from fifth to seventh grade, nothing their weight and if they had zero breakfast, breakfast either at home or at school, or breakfast in both places. They found that weight gain among second-breakfast eaters was no different from the average gain seen among all students. Children who didn’t eat breakfast, or ate it only sometimes, were more likely to be overweight than double-breakfasters. It should be noted that only about one in ten children in the study ate two breakfasts. The study wasn’t designed to figure out why this might be true, but the researchers have some theories: that people who don’t eat breakfast (or any meal) might overeat later in the day, and that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories（热量） by having no breakfast. Yes, school breakfasts are more like a healthy snack（零食） than a full meal, and growing teens can eat a large amount of food. But if you’re still not eating breakfast because you think it gives you more colories, you are not only mistaken, but you are also missing out one of life’s great pleasures. 21. What do we know about the research according to Paragraph 1? A. It was about the effect of dinner on weight gain. B. Its result was opposite to the author’s opinion. C. It was done on overweight school children. D. Its result might also be true of adults. 22. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2? A. About 90% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day. B. About 90% of the children in the study had one breakfast a day. C. About 10% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day. D. About 10% of the children in the study had no breakfast at all. 23. What does the underlined word obese mean in Paragraph 3? A. Overweight. B. Strong. C. Tall. D. Hungry. 24. According to the researchers, some people don’t eat breakfast because _____. A. they have no time B. they prefer snacks C. they want to keep fit D. they want to eat more at lunch 25. What is the best title of this passage? A. Breakfast and School Performance B. Breakfast and Weight Gain C. Breakfast and Life Pleasure D. Breakfast and Snacks 【答案】DCACB 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于早餐对体重增加影响的研究，研究表明吃两顿早餐比不吃早餐更不容易导致体重超标，并分析了相关原因，纠正了人们不吃早餐以控制热量的错误观念。 21. 细节理解题。根据第一段 “But for adults, in theory, two breakfasts are also better than none.（但对于成年人来说，理论上吃两顿早餐也比不吃好）” 可知，该研究的结果对成年人而言可能也同样适用。故选 D。 22. 细节理解题。根据第二段 “It should be noted that only about one in ten children in the study ate two breakfasts.（需要注意的是，研究中只有大约十分之一的孩子会吃两顿早餐）” 可知，研究中大约 10% 的孩子每天吃两顿早餐。故选 C。 23. 词义猜测题。根据第三段 “that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories by having no breakfast.（当人们变得肥胖时，他们往往会通过不吃早餐来减少热量摄入）” 以及前文提到的不吃早餐的孩子更容易超重的内容，可知 “obese” 的意思是 “超重的”。故选 A。 24. 细节理解题。根据第三段 “that people who don't eat breakfast (or any meal) might overeat later in the day, and that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories by having no breakfast.（不吃早餐（或任何一餐）的人可能会在当天晚些时候暴饮暴食，而当人们变得肥胖时，他们往往会通过不吃早餐来减少热量摄入）” 可知，研究人员认为有些人不吃早餐是因为他们想要通过减少热量摄入来保持身材。故选 C。 25. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章围绕早餐与体重增加之间的关系展开，介绍了相关研究结果与分析，可知这篇文章的最佳标题是 “早餐与体重增加”。故选 B。 【强化巩固】 1.She bought a box of cookie as a snack for the afternoon break.
