Or I am from Mexico, where I spent the majority of my childhood. Or I am from the US, whose language is rooted into my life. In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. After all, to be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding “your” culture and “your” home. I feel envious whenever my friends say they’re “going home” for school breaks. As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as “home”, but “shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again. So, does this mean I do not have, and will never have, a home? I resign myself to living with this sense of sadness, until very recently. In my dorm, inside my drawer is a specially designed white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it with me from my parents’ house. One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent (洗衣粉), the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home. I still avoid using that towel until now because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my newly-bought detergent. Sadly, even with this new discovery, I will still struggle when answering where I am from, and I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to “go back to”. Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. And if these moments can make me smile, even with a sense of loss, what better home can I ask for? 4. Why is the author unable to see his living space as “home”? A. His living places often change. B. He is unsatisfied with the place. C. His expectations of “home” are high. D. He can’t understand the culture there. 5. Why does the author treasure that towel? A. It was made in his hometown. B. It is a present from his parents. C. Its smell awakened his memories. D. Its design wins his preference. 6. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. He no longer feels a sense of loss. B. He feels a physical home is unnecessary. C. He has got the answer to “Where are you from?” D. He has found a sense of home in some moments. 7. What can be the best title of the text? A A Man’s Home Is His Castle B. There Is No Place Like Home C. The Smell Brings Me Home D. The Emotion Connects Me With Home 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者是一个经常搬家的人，所以一直以来对家的概念很模糊，一次偶然，他拿起一条浴巾，上面的味道使作者想起了过往，使他突然在某一瞬间产生了“家”的感觉。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段末句“As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as “home”, but “shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again. (作为一个经常搬家的学生，我从来没有把我的生活空间看作是“家”，而是“庇护所”，在我不可避免地再次搬家之前，我可以呆在另一个地方)”可知，作者经常搬家是他不把住的地方当“家”的主要原因。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第二三句“One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent(洗衣粉), the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home.(有一天，我把它拿出来，但在闻到了柔软、甜美的洗衣粉后就停了下来，我父母在泰国用的就是这种洗衣粉。我觉得我的眼睛湿润了，因为那随意的气味把我复杂的情绪带到了表面：悲伤和怀旧，一种强烈的思念家的感觉)”可知，浴巾上面的味道使作者想起了过往。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. (然而，在偶然的时刻，当一种气味带着它带来的记忆让我猝不及防时，我愿意相信我当时的感觉就是人们在家时的感觉)”可知，现在在某些瞬间，一些熟悉的味道使作者想起了被他认为是有关“家”的感觉。故选D。 【7题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段第二句“Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home.(然而，在偶然的时刻，当一种气味带着它带来的记忆让我猝不及防时，我愿意相信我当时的感觉就是人们在家时的感觉)”可知，作者是一个经常搬家的人，所以一直以来对家的概念很模糊。一次偶然的机会，作者拿起一条浴巾，上面的味道使作者想起了过往，使他突然在某一瞬间产生了“家”的感觉。由此可知，The Smell Brings Me Home(气味把我带回家)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。 C Being crazy about perfection (完美) among young people has risen by more than 30 percent over the last three decades, a study has found. Many of them believe that their environment is very demanding and that others judge them strictly, according to analysis of data from more than 40,000 British, Canadian and American university students from 1989 to 2018. The research, carried out by the University of Bath and York St John University, found that the extent to which young people attach an irrational importance on being perfect, hold unrealistic expectations of themselves and are highly self-critical has increased by 10 percent when compared to previous generations. The authors suggested their findings point to the impact of three decades of neoliberalism (新自由主义) forcing young people to compete against one another. Lead author Dr. Thomas Curran from the University of Bath’s Department for Health said he hoped organizations responsible for guarding the welfare of young people, such as schools, universities, and policymakers who shape the environments in which these organizations operate, would resist the promotion of competitiveness at the expense of young people’s psychological health. He said, “Rising rates of perfectionism highlighted in this study correspond to three decades of neoliberalism, which has forced young people to compete against each other in an increasingly demanding social and economic environment.” The study also found the extent to which young people impose (迫使) unrealistic standards on those around them and evaluate others critically has increased by 16 percent. The researchers defined perfectionism as a combination of extremely high personal standards and overly harsh self-criticism, leading to psychological difficulties. Co-author Dr Andrew Hill of York St John University added “The increase in mental health difficulties among young people makes for a setting for our findings. The higher level of perfectionism may be a key contributing factor to such difficulties. Young people are trying to find ways to cope with increasing demands being placed on them and they are responding by becoming more perfect towards themselves and others.” 8. What do young people think causes them to pursue perfection? A. Their autonomous efforts. B. The traditional requirements. C. The external expectations. D. Their social responsibility. 9. What does the underlined word “irrational” in paragraph 3 mean? A. impossible. B. unreasonable. C. invaluable. D. illegal. 10. Who should take the responsibility to avoid young people’s fierce competition? A. Education departments. B. Social organizations. C. Environmental protectors. D. Economic policy makers. 11. Which of the following is a result of pursuing perfection? A. Learning difficulties. B. Mental trouble. C. High self-assessment. D. Gaining independence. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近三十年年轻人对完美追求加剧，及其成因与影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Many of them believe that their environment is very demanding and that others judge them strictly, according to analysis of data from more than 40,000 British. Canadian and American university students from 1989 to 2018.(根据对1989年至2018年期间来自英国、加拿大和美国的4万多名大学生的数据分析，他们中的许多人认为，他们所处的环境要求很高，其他人对他们的评判也很严格)”可知，年轻人认为是外部原因导致他们追求完美，所以外部期望符合题意。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The research, carried out by the University of Bath and York St John University, found that the extent to which young people attach an irrational importance on being perfect, hold unrealistic expectations of themselves and are highly self-critical has increased by 10 percent when compared to previous generations.(巴斯大学和约克圣约翰大学开展的这项研究发现，与前几代人相比，年轻人对追求完美赋予irrational重要性、对自己抱有不切实际的期望以及高度自我批评的程度增加了10%)”可知，年轻人对于完美赋予了不合理的、过高的重要性，所以irrational的意思是“不合理的”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Lead author Dr. Thomas Curran from the University of Bath’s Department for Health said he hoped organizations responsible for guarding the welfare of young people, such as schools, universities, and policymakers who shape the environments in which these organizations operate, would resist the promotion of competitiveness at the expense of young people’s psychological health.(主要作者、巴斯大学健康系的托马斯·柯伦博士表示，他希望负责保护年轻人福祉的组织，如学校、大学，以及塑造这些组织运作环境的政策制定者，能够抵制以牺牲年轻人心理健康为代价来提升竞争力的做法)”可知，教育部门应该承担起责任，避免年轻人之间的激烈竞争。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The higher level of perfectionism may be a key contributing factor to such difficulties. Young people are trying to find ways to cope with increasing demands being placed on them and they are responding by becoming more perfect towards themselves and others.(高度完美主义可能是导致这些困难的一个关键因素。年轻人正试图找到方法来应对对他们日益增加的要求，他们的反应是对自己和他人要求更加完美)”可知，追求完美会导致心理问题。故选B。 D Reunions offer a chance to reflect on how much has changed. One happened in Hollywood when Here premiered (首映), bringing together the actors, director and writer behind Forrest Gump 40 years later for a new film. The stars were “de-aged” using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting. With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching. The first is how AI will be used to tell new types of stories, as storytelling becomes more personalised and interactive. No one is quite sure how the nature of storytelling will change, but it is sure to. David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters. Cristóbal Valenzuela, who runs a company providing AI-enhanced software, says AI is like a “new kind of camera”, offering a fresh “opportunity to reimagine what stories are like”. Both are right. Another big development to watch is how AI will be used as a time-saving tool. Generative AI will automate and simplify complex tasks like film-editing and special effects. For a glimpse of the future, watch Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2023. It featured a scene that used a “rotoscoping” tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing. What is also noticeable is more dramatic conflicts between creators and those running AI platforms. This year is likely to bring floods of lawsuits (诉讼) from authors, musicians and actors about how their works have been used to train AI systems without permission or payment. Perhaps they can agree on some sort of licensing arrangement, in which AI companies start paying copyright-holders. It will probably be a few years before a full-length film is produced entirely by AI, but it is just a matter of time. 12. What can we learn about the film Here? A. It relates a story about youth. B. The theme of the film is reunion. C. AI tools are employed in the film. D. It is adapted from Forrest Gump. 13. What does David think of AI’s application in film making? A. Transformative. B. Destructive. C. Representative. D. Irreplaceable. 14. Why does the author mention the film Everything Everywhere All at Once? A. To show the high efficiency of AI tools. B. To demonstrate the influence of the film. C. To analyse a novel way of video-editing. D. To praise the hard work behind the scenes. 15. What is the article mainly about? A. Conflicts between man and machine. B. AI’s huge effects on film production. C. Drawbacks of dependence on AI tools. D. Hot debate on the use of technology. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能工具开始应用于电影制作，并列举了两个值得关注的重大发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The stars were “de-aged” using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting. (这些明星使用新的人工智能工具“减龄”，使他们在某些场景中更年轻，并使制片人能够在拍摄时实时看到他们的变化)”可知，Here影片中使用了人工智能工具。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters.(电影历史学家大卫·汤姆森将生成式人工智能比作声音的出现。当电影不再是无声的时候，它改变了情节点的制作方式，也改变了观众与角色之间的联系)”可知，大卫认为人工智能在电影制作中的应用是变革性的。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It featured a scene that used a “rotoscoping” tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing.(影片中有一个场景使用了“移动显微镜”工具来编辑绿幕背景，使会说话的石头更可信。它将原本可能需要几天时间的视频剪辑缩短到了几个小时)”可知，作者提到电影《Everything Everywhere All at Once》是为了展示人工智能工具的高效率。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching.(随着在电影制作中使用生成式人工智能，出现了一些值得观看的东西)”结合文章主要说明了人工智能工具开始应用于电影制作，并列举了两个值得关注的重大发展。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是人工智能对电影制作的巨大影响。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. ____16____We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.

During my growth, an experience in senior high school stood out in my memory. As a taxi driver, my dad drove through chaotic streets with heavy traffic. Sometimes he had to deal with rude passengers and struggle with thin income. Despite these, he never complained. Dad was devoted to our family and cared much about us. The sunflower keychain I had given him as a Father’s Day gift in fifth grade had long lost its shine. Yet he had it attached to his leather belt everywhere he went. Every day, he simply headed out early in his worn-out uniform with two patches (补丁) and returned late with a tired but warm smile. When we joked about his “fashionable patches”, he’d laugh and say, “These are my medals of honor!” As I entered senior high school, my world became overwhelming. Math problems danced in my head. My grades didn’t improve but even declined. School pressures skyrocketed. Even small things would set me off. Dad’s daily “How’s school today?” felt like another weight on my back. I was mean to his inquiries, even though I knew he meant well. One day after a frustrating exam, I returned home, my backpack strap (肩带) cutting into my shoulder. Dad was calculating the taxi bills then. “Hey,” he said, with a smile on his face, “How is …” “STOP IT!” The words exploded out of me. “You’re always in my business! Can’t you just...leave me ALONE?” He froze. The pen he was holding rolled off the table. His face fell, as if I’d thrown cold water on him. Then he stood up slowly and walked to his room. The door shut softly—not a slam (砰地关上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse. 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 was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I knocked at the door and it opened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. The faded sunflower, once golden and bright, now mirrored Dad’s silent sacrifices. Memories flooded in: him skipping meals to pay for my textbooks, his cracked hands gripping the steering wheel, and the way he proudly called his patches “medals.” My outburst replayed in my head, sharp and ugly. Guilt gnawed at me as I realized his questions weren’t prying—they were his lifeline to my world. The quiet click of the door echoed louder than any argument. Paragraph 2 I knocked at the door and it opened. Dad sat on the edge of his bed, the sunflower keychain trembling in his hands. “I… I’m sorry,” I choked out. He looked up, eyes weary but soft. “I just wanted to know you’re okay,” he murmured. Tears blurred my vision as I hugged him, his patched uniform rough against my cheek. “Your medals are real,” I whispered. He laughed, a warm sound that melted the tension. From then on, his “How’s school?” became a bridge, not a burden. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在高中时期因学业压力大，对关心自己的出租车司机父亲恶语相向，事后感到后悔，最终向父亲道歉并和解的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我自己也惊呆了，我的目光落在钥匙链上，我的脑子飞快地转着。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到钥匙链后，回忆起父亲对自己的爱与付出，内心充满愧疚，开始反思自己的行为。 ②由第二段首句内容“我敲了敲门，门开了”可知，第二段可描写作者鼓起勇气向父亲道歉，两人进行沟通交流，最终化解矛盾，修复关系。 2.续写线索：看到钥匙链回忆父亲付出（产生愧疚）——鼓起勇气敲门找父亲——向父亲道歉——父亲理解包容 ——矛盾化解，关系修复 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 意识到：realize/be aware ② 颤抖：tremble/quiver ③ 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： ① 自豪地：proudly/with pride ② 温暖的：warm/cozy 【点睛】【高分句型 1】“I just wanted to know you’re okay,” he murmured.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】Guilt gnawed at me as I realized his questions weren’t prying—they were his lifeline to my world.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二级英语科试题 注意：试卷共8页，满分130分，考试时间120分钟 一、阅读理解 (共两节，20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A TF NUS LEARN Summer Program 2025 in Singapore Are you an aspiring young leader interested in a fully funded international experience?

B In casual conversations, there is a seemingly simple question I can never answer without hesitating — “Where are you from?” I could say I am from Thailand, where I was born. Or I am from Mexico, where I spent the majority of my childhood. Or I am from the US, whose language is rooted into my life. In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. After all, to be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding “your” culture and “your” home. I feel envious whenever my friends say they’re “going home” for school breaks. As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as “home”, but “shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again. So, does this mean I do not have, and will never have, a home? I resign myself to living with this sense of sadness, until very recently. In my dorm, inside my drawer is a specially designed white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it with me from my parents’ house. One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent (洗衣粉), the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home. I still avoid using that towel until now because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my newly-bought detergent. Sadly, even with this new discovery, I will still struggle when answering where I am from, and I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to “go back to”. Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. And if these moments can make me smile, even with a sense of loss, what better home can I ask for? 4. Why is the author unable to see his living space as “home”? A. His living places often change. B. He is unsatisfied with the place. C. His expectations of “home” are high. D. He can’t understand the culture there. 5. Why does the author treasure that towel? A. It was made in his hometown. B. It is a present from his parents. C. Its smell awakened his memories. D. Its design wins his preference. 6. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. He no longer feels a sense of loss. B. He feels a physical home is unnecessary. C. He has got the answer to “Where are you from?” D. He has found a sense of home in some moments. 7. What can be the best title of the text? A. A Man’s Home Is His Castle B. There Is No Place Like Home C. The Smell Brings Me Home D. The Emotion Connects Me With Home C Being crazy about perfection (完美) among young people has risen by more than 30 percent over the last three decades, a study has found. Many of them believe that their environment is very demanding and that others judge them strictly, according to analysis of data from more than 40,000 British, Canadian and American university students from 1989 to 2018. The research, carried out by the University of Bath and York St John University, found that the extent to which young people attach an irrational importance on being perfect, hold unrealistic expectations of themselves and are highly self-critical has increased by 10 percent when compared to previous generations. The authors suggested their findings point to the impact of three decades of neoliberalism (新自由主义) forcing young people to compete against one another. Lead author Dr. Thomas Curran from the University of Bath’s Department for Health said he hoped organizations responsible for guarding the welfare of young people, such as schools, universities, and policymakers who shape the environments in which these organizations operate, would resist the promotion of competitiveness at the expense of young people’s psychological health. He said, “Rising rates of perfectionism highlighted in this study correspond to three decades of neoliberalism, which has forced young people to compete against each other in an increasingly demanding social and economic environment.” The study also found the extent to which young people impose (迫使) unrealistic standards on those around them and evaluate others critically has increased by 16 percent. The researchers defined perfectionism as a combination of extremely high personal standards and overly harsh self-criticism, leading to psychological difficulties. Co-author Dr Andrew Hill of York St John University added, “The increase in mental health difficulties among young people makes for a setting for our findings.

D Reunions offer a chance to reflect on how much has changed. One happened in Hollywood when Here premiered (首映), bringing together the actors, director and writer behind Forrest Gump 40 years later for a new film. The stars were “de-aged” using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting. With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching. The first is how AI will be used to tell new types of stories as storytelling becomes more personalised and interactive. No one is quite sure how the nature of storytelling will change, but it is sure to. David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters. Cristóbal Valenzuela, who runs a company providing AI-enhanced software, says AI is like a “new kind of camera”, offering a fresh “opportunity to reimagine what stories are like”. Both are right. Another big development to watch is how AI will be used as a time-saving tool. Generative AI will automate and simplify complex tasks like film-editing and special effects. For a glimpse of the future, watch Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2023. It featured a scene that used a “rotoscoping” tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing. What is also noticeable is more dramatic conflicts between creators and those running AI platforms. This year is likely to bring floods of lawsuits (诉讼) from authors, musicians and actors about how their works have been used to train AI systems without permission or payment. Perhaps they can agree on some sort of licensing arrangement, in which AI companies start paying copyright-holders. It will probably be a few years before a full-length film is produced entirely by AI, but it is just a matter of time. 12. What can we learn about the film Here? A. It relates a story about youth. B. The theme of the film is reunion. C. AI tools are employed in the film. D. It is adapted from Forrest Gump. 13. What does David think of AI’s application in film making? A. Transformative. B. Destructive. C. Representative. D. Irreplaceable. 14. Why does the author mention the film Everything Everywhere All at Once? A. To show the high efficiency of AI tools. B. To demonstrate the influence of the film. C. To analyse a novel way of video-editing. D. To praise the hard work behind the scenes. 15. What is the article mainly about? A. Conflicts between man and machine. B. AI’s huge effects on film production. C. Drawbacks of dependence on AI tools. D. Hot debate on the use of technology. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. ____16____We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.

During my growth, an experience in senior high school stood out in my memory. As a taxi driver, my dad drove through chaotic streets with heavy traffic. Sometimes he had to deal with rude passengers and struggle with thin income. Despite these, he never complained. Dad was devoted to our family and cared much about us. The sunflower keychain I had given him as a Father’s Day gift in fifth grade had long lost its shine. Yet he had it attached to his leather belt everywhere he went. Every day, he simply headed out early in his worn-out uniform with two patches (补丁) and returned late with a tired but warm smile. When we joked about his “fashionable patches”, he’d laugh and say, “These are my medals of honor!” As I entered senior high school, my world became overwhelming. Math problems danced in my head. My grades didn’t improve but even declined. School pressures skyrocketed. Even small things would set me off. Dad’s daily “How’s school today?” felt like another weight on my back. I was mean to his inquiries, even though I knew he meant well. One day after a frustrating exam, I returned home, my backpack strap (肩带) cutting into my shoulder. Dad was calculating the taxi bills then. “Hey,” he said, with a smile on his face, “How is …” “STOP IT!” The words exploded out of me. “You’re always in my business! Can’t you just...leave me ALONE?” He froze. The pen he was holding rolled off the table. His face fell, as if I’d thrown cold water on him. Then he stood up slowly and walked to his room. The door shut softly—not a slam (砰地关上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse. 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 was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I knocked at the door and it opened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
