Despite the constant and unavoidable ups and downs of this life, I realized many of my dreams including working with stars like Lucas and writing an Emmy-winning TV show. Then, my life took an unexpected turn. In 2011, I agreed to teach a class. I discovered a deep love for it — the engagement with students and the stable income were welcome changes. As my writing career slowed, my wife encouraged me to pursue more teaching. I researched and found a position at UC Riverside. I said “Yes” to the interview, got the job, and within years became a professor. Academy became my focus, but I remained a writer at heart. I decided to write my first novel, free from deadlines, simply for the creative joy. In 2015, an email asked if I was interested in a talk in the community. I said “Yes”. The challenge was big; a 15-minute speech in front of 500 people and three cameras. However, I succeeded, and the talk was well-received. After the speech was uploaded to the internet, it led to an email from Publisher, suggesting a book on my talk’s topic. I instead recommended my novel. They asked if I wanted to launch a pre-sale campaign to attract readers. I said “Yes”. Publisher’s founder advised me to find an editor. Again, I said “Yes”. I hired Lauren Hughes, whose insightful feedback was incredibly encouraging. I accepted her notes and revised the manuscript. The pre-sale campaign sold over 300 books, generating interest from many readers. So my first novel was published. All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome. This philosophy keeps me engaged against the pull of aging. As a professor, I urge students to be positive. I don’t know how my novel will be received, but when asked if I have a book out, I can proudly say “Yes”. 4. What did the author think of his work in Hollywood? A. It was steady and well-paid. B. It was tiring and disappointing. C. It was fruitful despite challenges. D. It was full of unbearable pressure. 5. Which word can best describe the pre-sale campaign? A. Unexpected. B. Nationwide. C. Demanding. D. Successful. 6. What can we know about the author? A. He has always lived in a state of instability. B. He faces the unknown and challenges bravely. C. He accepted teaching mainly for its high income. D. He viewed public speaking as an unavoidable duty. 7 What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Saying “Yes”. B. A New Chapter in My Life. C. From Hollywood to Classroom. D. The Path to Becoming an Author. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者从好莱坞影视编剧，到转型成为大学教授、出版首部小说的人生经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Despite the constant and unavoidable ups and downs of this life, I realized many of my dreams including working with stars like Lucas and writing an Emmy-winning TV show.(尽管生活中不可避免地会有起起落落，但我实现了许多梦想，包括与卢卡斯这样的明星合作，以及创作一部获得艾美奖的电视节目。)”可知，作者认为自己在好莱坞的工作尽管有挑战，但它还是很有成果的。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The pre-sale campaign sold over 300 books, generating interest from many readers. So my first novel was published.(预售活动售出了300多本书，引起了许多读者的兴趣。所以我的第一部小说出版了。)”可知，预售活动很成功。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome.(这一切的发生都是因为我始终对新机会说“是”，在不知道结果的情况下接受挑战。)”可知，作者勇敢地面对未知和挑战。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome.(这一切的发生都是因为我始终对新机会说“是”，在不知道结果的情况下接受挑战。)”可知，文章主要强调了说“是”的力量。故选A。 How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past? Have you ever thought about this? Aristotle may have written the first observations of myopia (近视) around 350 B.C. Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects tend to look blurry. Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. And he noted that “even in the history of the invention of glasses, that is a late development.” There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses that were used to treat age-related vision loss known as presbyopia (老花眼). But the technology wasn’t applied to treat nearsightedness for another 200 years. “Because of the way that lens is held, you can see through it, and the artist has captured the effect that the glass has,” Handley said. Myopia could be something of a modern condition. Rates of myopia have risen sharply in recent decades, and researchers have projected that half the world will be myopic by 2050. Doctors are still trying to figure out the cause behind this trend. Some have blamed genetic causes or an increase in studying and screen time. It’s likely that myopia didn’t affect as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t regarded as a priority and that people could have gotten by with this condition by making some adaptations in their lifestyle. Or, maybe there was more of an emphasis on putting people in jobs that were suited to their ability to see, he said. For example, people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts and painting required making tiny, precise skills. 8. What can be learned about the first myopia glasses? A. They came into people’s view around 350 B.C. B. They could help shorten people’s eyeballs. C. They didn’t come out until the 15th century. D. They were initially designed for old people. 9. What does the underlined word “projected” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Noticed. B. Forecast. C. Doubted. D. Conducted. 10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. People in the past didn’t develop myopia. B. Myopia could be cured by changing one’s lifestyle. C. People with myopia could also lead a normal life. D. Most art-related jobs favored nearsighted people. 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Glasses for nearsighted people have developed a lot. B. Nearsightedness is increasing at an alarming rate. C. Various reasons contribute to modern myopia. D. Myopia was not so disturbing in the past. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在15世纪眼镜发明之前，人们如何应对近视，指出人们通过改变生活方式或从事专门工作来适应，并强调了现代近视患病率的上升。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. (博物馆馆长Neil Handley表示，在15世纪欧洲发明近视眼镜之前，人们对如何处理近视知之甚少。)”可知，第一副近视眼镜直到15世纪才问世。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Rates of myopia have risen sharply in recent decades (近视率在近几十年急剧上升)”可知，此处先介绍了近视率急剧上升的现象，再结合画线词的下文“that half the world will be myopic by 2050 (到2050年，全球将有一半的人患有近视)”可推知，研究人员是基于前面的现象预计2050年患有近视的人的数量，画线词意思应该是“预计”，与Forecast“预测”意思一致。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It’s likely that myopia didn’t affect as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t regarded as a priority and that people could have gotten by with this condition by making some adaptations in their lifestyle. (过去近视可能没有像现在这样影响这么多人。Handley表示，近视眼镜的晚发明表明，治疗少数近视患者并未被视为优先事项，人们可以通过调整生活方式来应对这种情况。)”和最后一段“For example, people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts and painting required making tiny, precise skills. (例如，历史上近视患者在工匠环境中备受重视，比如在中世纪欧洲的修道院中，抄写手稿和绘画需要精细的技巧。)”可知，过去的近视患者可以调整他们的生活方式或从事适合他们视力的工作。由此可知，近视患者可以过正常的生活。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past? Have you ever thought about this? (在没有眼镜的时代，近视的人是如何生活的？你想过这个问题吗？)”可知，文章关注的是过去人们是如何应对近视的，强调近视并不像今天这样普遍或具有破坏性，人们可以通过改变生活方式或从事专门工作来适应这种情况。故选D项。 For many years, school children in the US have taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury. Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun. Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost. 12. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions? A. To leach students useful skills in economics. B. To make every student exposed to art and culture. C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage. D. To encourage parents to take their children there. 13. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips? A. The drop in school funds. B. Students’ demand for fun. C. The dilemma of school finance. D. Teachers’ generational differences. 14. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The switch from old generations to young generations. B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences. C. The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain. D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions. 15. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene? A. Students are rewarded with more cultural knowledge. B. Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences. C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum. D. Field trips guarantee better future academic performance. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国的学生被带到艺术博物馆等文化机构进行“实地考察”给学生带来的好处及这些活动减少的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. (所以你可以说，带学生实地考察是一种让每个人都能平等获得文化遗产的手段)”可知，学校设置实地考察的最初目的就是为了让每个人都能平等地获得文化遗产。即让每一个学生都能接触到文化艺术。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have.(最明显的原因是金融问题。因为对他们的资金的需求越来越大，毕竟，电脑和体育设施都不便宜，学校被迫做出一个艰难的选择，关于如何使用他们有限的钱)”可知，实地考察数量减少的原因就是财政问题，即：经费困难。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据所猜词前一句“Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning.(学校越来越多地把去游乐园或参加体育活动作为对待学生的方式，而不是学习文化的机会)”可知，学校让学生去游乐园或参加体育活动进行娱乐，而放弃学习文化的机会。由此可知，This shift指的是从一个学习的机会变成了一种娱乐 。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.(Arkansas大学Jay Greene领导的一项研究发现，参观艺术博物馆的学生大大提高了他们对艺术的知识和批判性思考能力。他们也表现出更强的历史兴趣，更有可能在未来参观文化场所)”可知，Arkansas大学的Jay Greene的研究表明通过参观艺术博物馆可以培养学生们艺术的知识和批判性思考，同时还会养成对历史的兴趣。由此可推知，学生们所得到的回报就是更多的文化意识。故选A。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If there’s one thing that most teenagers don’t seem to have enough of, it is time.____16____. 1.Create a schedule.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Para 1 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number? I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure. Para 2 Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次因风暴延误的旅途中，匆忙搭乘出租车前往车站赶最后一班去布拉格的公共汽车。司机冈特不熟悉车站位置，通过电话求助后顺利抵达。到达时作者却发现自己没带现金，尝试用葡萄牙银行卡支付没有成功，而车站的取款机也故障了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑回到冈特那里，告诉他这个坏消息。”可知，第一段可描写作者留下冈特的电话，承诺会还钱给对方，冈特同意，最终作者及时登上了公共汽车。 ②由第二段首句内容“四天后，当我回到维也纳时，我按照承诺给冈特打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者付费给冈特，并向对方表示感激，两人成为了好朋友。 2.续写线索：作者给出解决办法——承诺还钱——冈特同意——作者登上公共汽车——履行承诺还钱——两人成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：reject/refuse ②给某人拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb. ③记下，写下：write down/set down 情绪类 ①难以置信地：in disbelief/incredibly/unbelievably ②开心地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山西大学附中2025~2026学年第一学期高二年级期末考试英语试题 考查时间：120分钟 满分：150分 考查内容：综合素养 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Despite the constant and unavoidable ups and downs of this life, I realized many of my dreams including working with stars like Lucas and writing an Emmy-winning TV show. Then, my life took an unexpected turn. In 2011, I agreed to teach a class. I discovered a deep love for it — the engagement with students and the stable income were welcome changes. As my writing career slowed, my wife encouraged me to pursue more teaching. I researched and found a position at UC Riverside. I said “Yes” to the interview, got the job, and within years became a professor. Academy became my focus, but I remained a writer at heart. I decided to write my first novel, free from deadlines, simply for the creative joy. In 2015, an email asked if I was interested in a talk in the community. I said “Yes”. The challenge was big; a 15-minute speech in front of 500 people and three cameras. However, I succeeded, and the talk was well-received. After the speech was uploaded to the internet, it led to an email from Publisher, suggesting a book on my talk’s topic. I instead recommended my novel. They asked if I wanted to launch a pre-sale campaign to attract readers. I said “Yes”. Publisher’s founder advised me to find an editor. Again, I said “Yes”. I hired Lauren Hughes, whose insightful feedback was incredibly encouraging. I accepted her notes and revised the manuscript. The pre-sale campaign sold over 300 books, generating interest from many readers. So my first novel was published. All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome. This philosophy keeps me engaged against the pull of aging. As a professor, I urge students to be positive. I don’t know how my novel will be received, but when asked if I have a book out, I can proudly say “Yes”. 4. What did the author think of his work in Hollywood? A. It was steady and well-paid. B. It was tiring and disappointing. C. It was fruitful despite challenges. D. It was full of unbearable pressure. 5. Which word can best describe the pre-sale campaign? A. Unexpected. B. Nationwide. C. Demanding. D. Successful. 6. What can we know about the author? A. He has always lived in a state of instability. B. He faces the unknown and challenges bravely. C. He accepted teaching mainly for its high income. D. He viewed public speaking as an unavoidable duty. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Saying “Yes”. B. A New Chapter in My Life. C. From Hollywood to Classroom. D. The Path to Becoming an Author. How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past? Have you ever thought about this? Aristotle may have written the first observations of myopia (近视) around 350 B.C. Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects tend to look blurry. Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. And he noted that “even in the history of the invention of glasses, that is a late development.” There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses that were used to treat age-related vision loss known as presbyopia (老花眼). But the technology wasn’t applied to treat nearsightedness for another 200 years. “Because of the way that lens is held, you can see through it, and the artist has captured the effect that the glass has,” Handley said. Myopia could be something of a modern condition. Rates of myopia have risen sharply in recent decades, and researchers have projected that half the world will be myopic by 2050. Doctors are still trying to figure out the cause behind this trend. Some have blamed genetic causes or an increase in studying and screen time. It’s likely that myopia didn’t affect as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t regarded as a priority and that people could have gotten by with this condition by making some adaptations in their lifestyle. Or, maybe there was more of an emphasis on putting people in jobs that were suited to their ability to see, he said. For example, people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts and painting required making tiny, precise skills. 8. What can be learned about the first myopia glasses? A. They came into people’s view around 350 B.C. B. They could help shorten people’s eyeballs. C. They didn’t come out until the 15th century. D. They were initially designed for old people. 9. What does the underlined word “projected” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Noticed. B. Forecast. C. Doubted. D. Conducted. 10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. People in the past didn’t develop myopia. B. Myopia could be cured by changing one’s lifestyle. C. People with myopia could also lead a normal life. D. Most art-related jobs favored nearsighted people. 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Glasses for nearsighted people have developed a lot. B. Nearsightedness is increasing at an alarming rate. C. Various reasons contribute to modern myopia. D. Myopia was not so disturbing in the past. For many years, school children in the US have taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury. Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun. Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost. 12. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions? A. To leach students useful skills in economics. B. To make every student exposed to art and culture. C.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
