C 【解析】 【原文】M: On today’s show, we’ll be talking to one of the founders of sustainable beauty packaging brand Sparkling. 10 years ago, Maggie was a successful student at MIT in Boston, but she wanted more. After graduation, she started working on her first product. She successfully transformed the teeth whitening pens she had found on the Internet into eye makeup brushes. One morning she woke up to find that she had 1000 orders, which inspired her. So she wanted to make her product better and rather than searching online, she took the brave decision to move to China, where she could talk directly to the producers. Despite only speaking a handful of words, she spent four months researching makeup brushes and talking with local factories. However, she realized that many makeup brands were doing what she had done. So she decided to stay in China and help others find the best factories and packaging for their products. That’s how sparkling was born. Now Maggie is here today to talk about her unusual journey and how she hopes to change the world of beauty products with up cycled materials and recyclable packaging. Please welcome Maggie. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here are four clubs for students exploring varied interests.

UNICEF Club The purpose of Hollywood High’s UNICEF Club is to promote a movement based on the belief that everyone has a role to play as the voice for children everywhere. Our UNICEF Club will ensure that students have a unique opportunity to engage members of their community in global humanitarian (人道主义的) efforts through fundraisers and meetings to raise awareness about the causes and effects of child poverty. 21.

As they prepared to pull the stuff to a charity house for women and children, they stopped, thinking there had to be a better way. That’s how SheStyles was born. Instead of picking through piles of those unwanted, young girls and women in need of clothing can now look through restored, pressed and even new clothes on the third shelf at pop-up shops. The shoppers get assistance from JoJo and Brooke and from personal stylists who’ve volunteered. The SheStyles way offers girls real life shopping trips but with one difference: everything is always free. “I was stressing out about what was going to happen to these donation bags,” explained Brooke, now 18. “In my head, the clothing donation process was not as personal as you wanted it to be.” “We tend to target teen girls,” said JoJo, now 16, but only 14 when the nonprofit began. “We understand what it’s like to be a teen girl and how clothing can play a big part in her self-confidence.” With the help of their mother, Shari Friedman, who is knowledgeable about the business of charity, the nonprofit has held seven pop-up clothing giveaways over two years. Brentwood School the two girls attend started a school club where they found volunteers to support the nonprofit. They held their largest event on April 27 at the William Mead Homes in Los Angeles, where about 82 shoppers picked out clothes and most left with several bags full. “With every girl we work with, we are doing more than putting clothes on her back,” said Shari. “We are making a memory for her. Hopefully, she feels really special.” The name SheStyles represents them as girls and that “she” is helping other girls. And it also refers to shoppers on the receiving end who don’t just get a bag of clothes to wear, but instead get particular items that fit their own taste and “styles”. “It has a hidden meaning: girls empowering girls,” said JoJo. 24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Where SheStyles was built. B. Who set up SheStyles. C. How SheStyles came into existence. D. When SheStyles was started. 25. What is the key feature of SheStyles’ service? A. It sells clothes specially for women and children. B. It focuses on restoring old clothes to make them new. C. It gives respect to shoppers on the receiving end. D. It trains teenage volunteers to become professional stylists. 26. Why did the sisters start this charity? A. They had too many clothes to throw away. B. They felt special when involved in the cause. C. Their mother inspired them to do good deeds. D. They believed clothing can make a difference to teen girls. 27. Which of the following can best describe the sisters? A. Warm-hearted. B. Strong-willed. C. Easy-going. D. Fun-loving. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Brooke和JoJo姐妹发现传统衣物捐赠缺乏温度，于是创立非营利组织SheStyles，免费为有需要的少女提供贴心的衣物挑选服务，用行动助力女孩成长，传递女孩间的力量。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When teen sisters Brooke and JoJo cleaned their bedroom, they filled up bags with unwanted clothes. As they prepared to pull the stuff to a charity house for women and children, they stopped, thinking there had to be a better way. That’s how SheStyles was born.(当这对十几岁的姐妹布鲁克和乔乔打扫她们的卧室时，她们把不需要的衣服装进了袋子。在准备把这些衣物送到为妇女和儿童设立的慈善机构时，她们停下来思考是否还有更好的办法。就这样，SheStyles 应运而生了)”可知，第一段主要讲述了SheStyles的诞生历程。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead of picking through piles of those unwanted, young girls and women in need of clothing can now look through restored, pressed and even new clothes on the third shelf at pop-up shops. The shoppers get assistance from JoJo and Brooke and from personal stylists who’ve volunteered.(以往人们只能在那些堆满无主衣物的货架上费力挑选，而现在，有需要衣物的年轻女孩和妇女们可以在快闪店的第三层货架上挑选到经过修复、熨烫甚至全新包装的衣物。购物者们得到了乔乔和布鲁克以及自愿参与的私人造型师们的帮助)”可知，SheStyles的服务给予接受者应有的尊重。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We understand what it’s like to be a teen girl and how clothing can play a big part in her self-confidence.(我们深知身为少女的内心感受，也明白服装在她自信形成过程中所起的重要作用)”可知，这对姐妹创办这个慈善机构是因为她们认为衣物能够对少女们的生活产生积极影响。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead of picking through piles of those unwanted, young girls and women in need of clothing can now look through restored, pressed and even new clothes on the third shelf at pop-up shops.

If you believe the marketing words printed on their packaging — light or reduced-calorie (卡路里) food products offer you the same enjoyment, but with fewer calories — it seems like a no-brainer, right? In order for a product to be light, present rules in the UK say that it must be at least 30% lower in one typical aspect, for example, calories or fat, than the regular product in the same line. Is the taste really as similar as they say? It often is, and that’s just the problem. You can’t lower the sugar or fat content without changing the product’s composition (成分) or taste. To copy the original taste as closely as possible, producers depend on synthetic additives (合成添加剂) to improve taste and change the texture (口感) of their reduced-calorie products. Key ingredients (成分) like eggs or butter are reduced and replaced with synthetic additives. To make up for the lack of texture, different kinds of additives are added to give the feeling of fat and sugar. You often end up with very long ingredient lists. Imagine a chocolate cake with 10 ingredients on the package; it is generally not a good sign. Light food products are not good for our health. Several studies have shown that products sold as light food can still affect blood sugar levels and in the long term increase the risk of weight gain and heart problems. Another concern with light food products is their effect on metabolism (新陈代谢). It’s been shown that they can trick the brain, change gut flora (肠道菌群) and eventually lead to weight gain over time, rather than the promised weight loss. Not all reduced-calorie products are the same. For example, low sodium (钠) products can be a good choice as part of a balanced diet. The key is to watch out for the descriptions and avoid products with too many synthetic additives. 28. Which of the following can be regarded as a light food product? A. Food low in calories. B. Food with good taste. C. Food rich in nutrition. D. Food with various ingredients. 29. What does “the problem” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Sudden change of original taste. B. Worsening of texture. C. Heavy use of synthetic additives. D. Increasing of sugar. 30. What may eating light food products lead to in the long term? A. Lower blood sugar level. B. Brain diseases. C. Better body shape. D. Weight gain. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Does light food cheer you up? B. Is light food “light”? C. How does light food improve health? D. How is light food different? 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了轻食并不一定对健康有益，它们可能含有大量合成添加剂，长期食用可能增加体重和心脏问题的风险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In order for a product to be light, present rules in the UK say that it must be at least 30% lower in one typical aspect, for example, calories or fat, than the regular product in the same line. (在英国，为了使一种产品成为轻食，现行规定要求，与同类常规产品相比，它在某一典型方面 (如卡路里或脂肪)必须至少低30%)”可知，轻食是指卡路里或脂肪含量较低的食品。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Is the taste really as similar as they say? It often is, and that’s just the problem. You can’t lower the sugar or fat content without changing the product’s composition (成分) or taste. To copy the original taste as closely as possible, producers depend on synthetic additives (合成添加剂) to improve taste and change the texture (口感) of their reduced-calorie products. (味道真的像他们说的那么相似吗？通常是这样，而这正是the problem。如果不改变产品的成分或味道，就无法降低糖或脂肪的含量。为了尽可能接近地复制原始味道，生产商依靠合成添加剂来改善低卡路里产品的味道和改变其口感)”可知，“the problem”指的是生产商为了复制原始味道而大量使用合成添加剂。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Several studies have shown that products sold as light food can still affect blood sugar levels and in the long term increase the risk of weight gain and heart problems. (几项研究表明，作为轻食销售的产品仍然会影响血糖水平，并从长远来看增加体重增加和心脏问题的风险)”可知，长期食用轻食可能会导致体重增加。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Do light food products really help you? (轻食真的对你有帮助吗？)”和最后一段“Not all reduced-calorie products are the same. (并非所有低热量产品都是一样的)”可知，本文主要讨论了轻食是否真的“轻”，是否真的对健康有益，所以“轻食真的“轻”吗？”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Hit the gym, even if it’s for just two days. Limiting workouts to weekends does not mean you will be missing out on the cognitive (认知的) benefits. New research reveals that “weekend warriors (战士)” enjoy cognitive benefits comparable to regular gym goers. The term “weekend warrior” describes a pattern of physical activity limited to just one or two tough training periods per week. Recent findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine offer a more convenient target for those with busy schedules. They suggest that weekend warrior workouts can reduce the risk of mild dementia (痴呆), with similar results to regular exercise. Researchers based their findings on two surveys of more than 10,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study. The study subjects had an average age of 51. The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regularly active exercising. During the second survey, subjects’ cognitive drop was also assessed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), with a total score of 30. When mild cognitive impairment (损伤) (MCI) was set as an MMSE score of 23 or below, 2,856 cases were found. “Compared with the non-exercisers, weekend warriors were 13% less likely to develop MCI, while the regularly active and those in the combined group were 12% less likely to do so. The results were similar for both men and women,” a researcher stated. This means that 13% of mild dementia cases might be avoided if all middle-aged adults exercised at least once or twice a week. The researchers suggest their findings are important for public health because the weekend warrior physical activity pattern may be a more convenient option for busy people. 32. How are subjects mainly grouped in the study? A. By age. B. By health condition. C. By sport type. D. By exercise frequency. 33. What is the purpose of Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. To introduce MMSE and MCI. B. To entertain readers with stories about the subjects. C. To describe the process and the results of the research. D. To persuade readers to adopt a specific exercise pattern. 34. What can we learn from the number “13%” mentioned in the survey? A. Dementia is unavoidable with aging. B. MCI is common among non-exercisers. C. Exercising mainly on weekends also works. D. Men experience more memory loss than women. 35. Which statement can be used to describe the research findings? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Quantity matters more than quality in exercise. C. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be. D. Hitting the gym is beneficial, whenever you do it. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现周末健身者的认知益处与规律健身者相当，周末锻炼能降低轻度认知损伤风险，该模式对忙碌人群更易实现，具有重要公共卫生意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regularly active exercising.(这些调查问卷统计了受试者是否进行锻炼或体育运动，以及运动频率 —— 每周锻炼几天、每次时长多少分钟。研究人员根据受试者的回答将其分组：不锻炼组、“周末健身族”组、每周规律运动三次及以上的组别，还有周末健身族与规律运动者合并的组别。)”可知，研究主要根据锻炼频率对受试者进行分组。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers based their findings on two surveys of more than 10,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study. The study subjects had an average age of 51.(研究人员的结论基于墨西哥城前瞻性研究中对一万多名成年人开展的两项调查，该研究的受试者平均年龄为51岁。)”和第四段“During the second survey, subjects’ cognitive drop was also assessed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), with a total score of 30. When mild cognitive impairment (损伤) (MCI) was set as an MMSE score of 23 or below, 2,856 cases were found.(在第二次调查中，研究人员采用简易精神状态检查量表（MMSE，满分为30分）对受试者的认知能力下降情况进行了评估。当将轻度认知障碍（MCI）的判定标准设定为该量表得分≤23 分时，共发现2856例相关病例。)”可知，第三、四段分别介绍了研究的实施过程和具体研究结果。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Compared with the non-exercisers, weekend warriors were 13% less likely to develop MCI, while the regularly active and those in the combined group were 12% less likely to do so.(与不锻炼的受试者相比，周末健身族患上轻度认知障碍的风险降低 13%，而规律运动者和合并组受试者的患病风险则降低 12%。)”可知，数字13%表明主要在周末锻炼也能起到预防轻度认知损伤的作用。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“New research reveals that “weekend warriors (战士)” enjoy cognitive benefits comparable to regular gym goers.(新研究发现，“周末健身者”获得的认知益处与经常去健身房的人相当。)”和第四段周末健身者与规律锻炼者患MCI的概率降幅相近的研究结果可知，研究发现的核心是无论何时健身，去健身房锻炼都对身体有益。故选D项。 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。 Keep Skin Cancer At Bay “You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words. And unfortunately, the number of those who hear them just keeps rising. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global cancer rates will increase 77 percent by 2050. ____36____ By adopting a few healthy habits and making smart choices, people can reduce their risk of developing skin cancer. One of the most important ways is to limit your exposure to UV rays from the sun. UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it’s best to stay indoors or in the shade during these hours. If you have to be in the sun, wear protective clothing. ____37____ These measures can shelter you from harmful radiation and prevent sunburn, which is a major risk factor for skin cancer. ____38____ Choose a type with a sun protection factor of at least 30.

In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly performance in the school hall. It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable, It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night.

Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard. Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage.

As they prepared to pull the stuff to a charity house for women and children, they stopped, thinking there had to be a better way. That’s how SheStyles was born. Instead of picking through piles of those unwanted, young girls and women in need of clothing can now look through restored, pressed and even new clothes on the third shelf at pop-up shops. The shoppers get assistance from JoJo and Brooke and from personal stylists who’ve volunteered. The SheStyles way offers girls real life shopping trips but with one difference: everything is always free. “I was stressing out about what was going to happen to these donation bags,” explained Brooke, now 18. “In my head, the clothing donation process was not as personal as you wanted it to be.” “We tend to target teen girls,” said JoJo, now 16, but only 14 when the nonprofit began. “We understand what it’s like to be a teen girl and how clothing can play a big part in her self-confidence.” With the help of their mother, Shari Friedman, who is knowledgeable about the business of charity, the nonprofit has held seven pop-up clothing giveaways over two years. Brentwood School the two girls attend started a school club where they found volunteers to support the nonprofit. They held their largest event on April 27 at the William Mead Homes in Los Angeles, where about 82 shoppers picked out clothes and most left with several bags full. “With every girl we work with, we are doing more than putting clothes on her back,” said Shari. “We are making a memory for her. Hopefully, she feels really special.” The name SheStyles represents them as girls and that “she” is helping other girls. And it also refers to shoppers on the receiving end who don’t just get a bag of clothes to wear, but instead get particular items that fit their own taste and “styles”. “It has a hidden meaning: girls empowering girls,” said JoJo. 24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Where SheStyles was built. B. Who set up SheStyles. C. How SheStyles came into existence. D. When SheStyles was started. 25. What is the key feature of SheStyles’ service? A. It sells clothes specially for women and children. B. It focuses on restoring old clothes to make them new. C. It gives respect to shoppers on the receiving end. D. It trains teenage volunteers to become professional stylists. 26. Why did the sisters start this charity? A. They had too many clothes to throw away. B. They felt special when involved in the cause. C. Their mother inspired them to do good deeds. D. They believed clothing can make a difference to teen girls. 27. Which of the following can best describe the sisters? A. Warm-hearted. B. Strong-willed. C. Easy-going. D. Fun-loving. C Do light food products really help you? If you believe the marketing words printed on their packaging — light or reduced-calorie (卡路里) food products offer you the same enjoyment, but with fewer calories — it seems like a no-brainer, right? In order for a product to be light, present rules in the UK say that it must be at least 30% lower in one typical aspect, for example, calories or fat, than the regular product in the same line. Is the taste really as similar as they say? It often is, and that’s just the problem. You can’t lower the sugar or fat content without changing the product’s composition (成分) or taste. To copy the original taste as closely as possible, producers depend on synthetic additives (合成添加剂) to improve taste and change the texture (口感) of their reduced-calorie products. Key ingredients (成分) like eggs or butter are reduced and replaced with synthetic additives. To make up for the lack of texture, different kinds of additives are added to give the feeling of fat and sugar. You often end up with very long ingredient lists. Imagine a chocolate cake with 10 ingredients on the package; it is generally not a good sign. Light food products are not good for our health. Several studies have shown that products sold as light food can still affect blood sugar levels and in the long term increase the risk of weight gain and heart problems. Another concern with light food products is their effect on metabolism (新陈代谢). It’s been shown that they can trick the brain, change gut flora (肠道菌群) and eventually lead to weight gain over time, rather than the promised weight loss. Not all reduced-calorie products are the same. For example, low sodium (钠) products can be a good choice as part of a balanced diet. The key is to watch out for the descriptions and avoid products with too many synthetic additives. 28. Which of the following can be regarded as a light food product? A. Food low in calories. B. Food with good taste. C. Food rich in nutrition. D. Food with various ingredients. 29. What does “the problem” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Sudden change of original taste. B. Worsening of texture. C. Heavy use of synthetic additives. D. Increasing of sugar. 30. What may eating light food products lead to in the long term? A. Lower blood sugar level. B. Brain diseases. C. Better body shape. D. Weight gain. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Does light food cheer you up? B. Is light food “light”? C. How does light food improve health? D. How is light food different? D Hit the gym, even if it’s for just two days. Limiting workouts to weekends does not mean you will be missing out on the cognitive (认知的) benefits. New research reveals that “weekend warriors (战士)” enjoy cognitive benefits comparable to regular gym goers. The term “weekend warrior” describes a pattern of physical activity limited to just one or two tough training periods per week. Recent findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine offer a more convenient target for those with busy schedules. They suggest that weekend warrior workouts can reduce the risk of mild dementia (痴呆), with similar results to regular exercise. Researchers based their findings on two surveys of more than 10,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study. The study subjects had an average age of 51. The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regularly active exercising. During the second survey, subjects’ cognitive drop was also assessed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), with a total score of 30. When mild cognitive impairment (损伤) (MCI) was set as an MMSE score of 23 or below, 2,856 cases were found. “Compared with the non-exercisers, weekend warriors were 13% less likely to develop MCI, while the regularly active and those in the combined group were 12% less likely to do so. The results were similar for both men and women,” a researcher stated. This means that 13% of mild dementia cases might be avoided if all middle-aged adults exercised at least once or twice a week. The researchers suggest their findings are important for public health because the weekend warrior physical activity pattern may be a more convenient option for busy people. 32. How are subjects mainly grouped in the study? A. By age. B. By health condition. C. By sport type. D. By exercise frequency. 33. What is the purpose of Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. To introduce MMSE and MCI. B. To entertain readers with stories about the subjects. C. To describe the process and the results of the research. D. To persuade readers to adopt a specific exercise pattern. 34. What can we learn from the number “13%” mentioned in the survey? A. Dementia is unavoidable with aging. B. MCI is common among non-exercisers. C. Exercising mainly on weekends also works. D. Men experience more memory loss than women. 35. Which statement can be used to describe the research findings? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Quantity matters more than quality in exercise. C. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be. D. Hitting the gym is beneficial, whenever you do it. 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。 Keep Skin Cancer At Bay “You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words.

Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance. In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly performance in the school hall. It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable, It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress. 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。 Paragraph l: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
