Visiting Joshua Tree National Park is often described as an out-of-this-world experience. It’s an extraordinary place to connect with the beauty and peace nature offers.
The best time to visit it
It is open to the public year-round. Temperatures are most comfortable in the spring and fall. The spring wildflower bloom usually starts in January or February at lower elevations (海拔) and peaks park-wide from April through June. October through May is the busiest time of year, especially holiday weekends.
The best views
Keys View is one of the most iconic views in the entire park system. It’s located on the top of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. The view is especially charming at dusk when Palm Springs, Indio, and other valley cities sparkle with millions of lights. In the heart of the park, 5, 456-foot-high Ryan Mountain gives a bird’s-eye view of Hidden Valley and Queen Valley at the top of a steep, difficult hike that totals three miles.
Are pets allowed in it?
Pets are not allowed on hiking trails (路线) or in park buildings, or anywhere in the backcountry. They are permitted within 100 feet of roads, parking areas, and campgrounds but must always remain on a leash.
Is it accessible?
All visitor centers are wheelchair accessible and have accessible parking spaces, information desks, and restrooms. Jumbo Rocks and Indian Cove campgrounds offer accessible campsites and facilities. With paved surfaces, trails at the Oasis of Mara and Keys View are the best for wheelchairs.
21. Which month is the best time to see the park’s wildflowers?
A. January. B. March. C. May. D. July.
22. What does Keys View feature?
A. Dusk views. B. Peaceful trails.
C. Difficult hikes. D. Charming valleys.

As a commercial solutions manager in a company, Robert Kurtz finds himself working right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution. The composting company is based in Cleveland, Ohio. The goal is to deal with growing climate challenges by recycling as much food waste as possible, especially as the climate warms.
“If we’re going to meet the climate goals that have been set out by our leaders and scientists, we’re going to have to tackle food waste,” Kurtz says.
Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates a gas which traps heat in the atmosphere and fuels climate change. It is reported that the average families in the US spend large amounts of money per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in.
Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses. He educates them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then he asks if they’re willing to change the way they dispose of their excess food. Besides, he guides the composting company and persuades other companies and households to do something differently with their food waste. Under his guidance, the company’s 7 trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil.
Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues offer a second service: They sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. In addition to partnering with households and businesses, they team up with local schools. In an elementary school, they help the kitchen staff compost its food scraps. The 500 students work together to place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by the company.
Emily Cass is a farm-to-school coordinator. “This program has created a space for all students to become environmental guardians in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” Cass says.
24. What does the composting revolution aim to do?
A. To classify wasted food. B. To fight climate change.
C. To meet commercial challenges. D. To produce the best types of food.
25. What does paragraph 4 mainly say about Kurtz?
A. His daily work. B. His food waste. C. His daily clients. D. His food consumption.
26. What spirit is shown in the 500 students’ action of dealing with food waste?
A. Honesty. B. Bravery. C. Cooperation. D. Independence.
27. What is Cass’s attitude to Kurtz’s business?
A. Indifferent. B. Suspicious. C. Appreciative. D. Cautious.
C
Wild cats showcase a surprising diversity of eye colors, proving a mystery for researchers. Most wild species are known to have narrow eye color ranges, usually black, brown, or yellow. Eye colors’ evolution is hard to track. Fossils don’t preserve it; preserved samples have artificial eyes; most books illustrate only one example per species. Now, scientists have used abundant online photographs of wild cats to chart the transition from brown eyes to colors such as green and blue — and found something of a gray area.
Any animal’s eye color is determined by its levels of two melanin pigments (黑色素) — eumelanin, which makes brown-black, and pheomelanin, which makes red-yellow. Eye colors vary according to the amounts of each, with different combinations leading to colors such as blue, green, and gray. Scientists, Tabin and Katherine, used a process called ancestral state reconstruction to determine the eye colors of extinct wild cat species based on those of their living descendants. They examined the clearest images submitted to the database iNaturalist, then classified each cat’s eye color, and mapped the data to the cat family tree, using an algorithm (算法) to find each common ancestor’s possible eye colors. The algorithm accounted for the likelihood of certain changes and figured in the time since species separated in order to generate the likeliest colors at every split.
“It’s a way we can actually look into the eyes of the wild cat’s ancestor,” Tabin says. “The ancestor developed gray eyes, and then the eye color diversity just exploded.” Once an eye with moderate amounts of both eumelanin and pheomelanin appeared (producing gray eyes), blue and green were not far behind.
The scientists next tried to connect the discovered eye colors with numerous factors, including habitat, fur color, and hunting behavior, to help explain why those shades had evolved. But they found little correlation. “Siberian dogs have those bright blue eyes because we wanted them to and bred them accordingly, but in wild cats, I have no idea what’s going on here,” Tabin says. Perhaps cats prefer particular eye colors in mates — but it would be challenging to test.
28. Why do wild cats’ eye colors puzzle researchers?
A. Their diversity contradicts expected patterns. B. Fossils cannot preserve eye color information.
C. Too many species exist to compare effectively. D. Lighting conditions alter colors in online photos.
29. How did the scientists conduct their study on wild cats’ eye colors?
A. By observing fossil records of extinct cats. B. By analyzing photos from an online database.
C. By examining melanin pigments in living cats. D. By studying artificial eyes of preserved samples.
30. What can we learn about the evolution of wild cats’ eye colors from Tabin’s words?
A. Extinct cats had only one eye color type. B. Gray eyes led to different eye colors later.
C. Blue and green eyes appeared before gray eyes. D. Gray eyes came from high melanin pigment amounts.
31. How does Tabin feel about the evolution of wild cats’ eye colors?
A. Pleased. B. Relieved. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
D
Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found. “This speed was extremely high and kind of shocking,” says astrophysicist Terry. It introduces a series of questions about the survivability of these types of systems.
This galactic speed “monster” appears to center on a red dwarf star (红矮星) which is smaller and less bright than our sun. It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center. Astronomers discovered the star and a suspected accompanying planet after a 2011 “microlensing” event called MOA-2011-BLG-262, when the system passed in front of a background star and bent the latter’s light. Terry and his colleagues observed the system again in 2021. They found that its known planet is most likely a gas giant with about 29 times Earth’s mass that orbits its star at a distance between those at which Venus and Earth orbit our sun.
The researchers also mapped the system’s position in the 2021 data relative to where it was about a decade prior, revealing how fast it traveled. It might be a hyper-speed star system, an example of a rare class of astronomical objects that have been sped up by past encounters with other stars’ gravity — or even by a gravitational slingshot (弹弓) from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. These objects travel faster than 500 kilometers a second, and the speediest known one travels at over 2,000 kilometers a second.
“It’s an extraordinary category of stars,” Terry says, estimating that the system in this study more than doubled its speed after its own dramatic encounter. “No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.
32. What does the underlined word “laggard” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Something moving slowly. B. Something becoming famous.
C. Something traveling endlessly. D. Something looking incomparable.
33. What can we learn about the “monster” from paragraph 2?
A. Its star is much brighter than our sun.
B. Its planet’s mass is identical to Venus’s.
C. It’s a system discovered through its own light.
D. It’s closer to the galactic center than Earth.
34. What does Terry think of the discovery?
A. It is accidental. B. It is common. C. It is pioneering. D. It is strange.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Milky Way Galaxy’s Center
B. The Solar System’s Bright Stars
C. The Fastest Astronomical Objects
D. The Planetary System Speed Record

When I was a secondary school student, the small park near our school was my favorite place. It was more than just a park; it was our secret playground and a peaceful corner full of joy. Every afternoon after class, my friends and I would run there happily, laughing and chatting as if we had no worries at all.
The park was always quiet and tidy. I enjoyed the fresh air, green trees and beautiful flowers there. But I didn’t know when things started to get worse there. Rubbish was everywhere, especially around the rubbish bins. Plastic bags, bottles and food waste made the park dirty. Every time I saw that, I felt sad and helpless.
One morning, on my way to school, I saw the park messier than ever. I felt I had to do something. During the break, I talked with my three best friends, Lewis, Stephen and Alice, about it. “The park is so dirty now,” I said sadly. “I really want to clean it up this weekend. Would you like to join me?” Stephen, one of my friends, frowned and looked a little worried. “I’d love to help, but I’m afraid it won’t make much difference. Some people will just litter again soon,” he said in a low voice. He was not really against the plan, but he was not confident enough.
Hearing that, I looked at him seriously and said, “Even small actions can help. If we don’t do anything, the park will only get dirtier. Maybe our work can encourage others to stop littering too.” Lewis nodded and said, “I believe people will notice our effort. We can also put up posters to remind everyone to protect the park.” Alice added gently, “It’s our park. If we don’t take care of it, no one else will.” Stephen thought for a while and finally nodded firmly. “You’re right. Let’s do it together. I’ll try my best.” To my joy, he completely changed his mind and became ready to take action with us.

Visiting Joshua Tree National Park is often described as an out-of-this-world experience. It’s an extraordinary place to connect with the beauty and peace nature offers.
The best time to visit it
It is open to the public year-round. Temperatures are most comfortable in the spring and fall. The spring wildflower bloom usually starts in January or February at lower elevations (海拔) and peaks park-wide from April through June. October through May is the busiest time of year, especially holiday weekends.
The best views
Keys View is one of the most iconic views in the entire park system. It’s located on the top of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. The view is especially charming at dusk when Palm Springs, Indio, and other valley cities sparkle with millions of lights. In the heart of the park, 5, 456-foot-high Ryan Mountain gives a bird’s-eye view of Hidden Valley and Queen Valley at the top of a steep, difficult hike that totals three miles.
Are pets allowed in it?
Pets are not allowed on hiking trails (路线) or in park buildings, or anywhere in the backcountry. They are permitted within 100 feet of roads, parking areas, and campgrounds but must always remain on a leash.
Is it accessible?
All visitor centers are wheelchair accessible and have accessible parking spaces, information desks, and restrooms. Jumbo Rocks and Indian Cove campgrounds offer accessible campsites and facilities. With paved surfaces, trails at the Oasis of Mara and Keys View are the best for wheelchairs.

As a commercial solutions manager in a company, Robert Kurtz finds himself working right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution. The composting company is based in Cleveland, Ohio. The goal is to deal with growing climate challenges by recycling as much food waste as possible, especially as the climate warms.
“If we’re going to meet the climate goals that have been set out by our leaders and scientists, we’re going to have to tackle food waste,” Kurtz says.
Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates a gas which traps heat in the atmosphere and fuels climate change. It is reported that the average families in the US spend large amounts of money per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in.
Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses. He educates them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then he asks if they’re willing to change the way they dispose of their excess food. Besides, he guides the composting company and persuades other companies and households to do something differently with their food waste. Under his guidance, the company’s 7 trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil.
Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues offer a second service: They sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. In addition to partnering with households and businesses, they team up with local schools. In an elementary school, they help the kitchen staff compost its food scraps. The 500 students work together to place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by the company.
Emily Cass is a farm-to-school coordinator. “This program has created a space for all students to become environmental guardians in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” Cass says.
24. What does the composting revolution aim to do?
A. To classify wasted food. B. To fight climate change.
C. To meet commercial challenges. D. To produce the best types of food.
25. What does paragraph 4 mainly say about Kurtz?
A. His daily work. B. His food waste. C. His daily clients. D. His food consumption.
26. What spirit is shown in the 500 students’ action of dealing with food waste?
A. Honesty. B. Bravery. C. Cooperation. D. Independence.
27. What is Cass’s attitude to Kurtz’s business?
A. Indifferent. B. Suspicious. C. Appreciative. D. Cautious.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. C

Wild cats showcase a surprising diversity of eye colors, proving a mystery for researchers. Most wild species are known to have narrow eye color ranges, usually black, brown, or yellow. Eye colors’ evolution is hard to track. Fossils don’t preserve it; preserved samples have artificial eyes; most books illustrate only one example per species. Now, scientists have used abundant online photographs of wild cats to chart the transition from brown eyes to colors such as green and blue — and found something of a gray area.
Any animal’s eye color is determined by its levels of two melanin pigments (黑色素) — eumelanin, which makes brown-black, and pheomelanin, which makes red-yellow. Eye colors vary according to the amounts of each, with different combinations leading to colors such as blue, green, and gray. Scientists, Tabin and Katherine, used a process called ancestral state reconstruction to determine the eye colors of extinct wild cat species based on those of their living descendants. They examined the clearest images submitted to the database iNaturalist, then classified each cat’s eye color, and mapped the data to the cat family tree, using an algorithm (算法) to find each common ancestor’s possible eye colors. The algorithm accounted for the likelihood of certain changes and figured in the time since species separated in order to generate the likeliest colors at every split.
“It’s a way we can actually look into the eyes of the wild cat’s ancestor,” Tabin says. “The ancestor developed gray eyes, and then the eye color diversity just exploded.” Once an eye with moderate amounts of both eumelanin and pheomelanin appeared (producing gray eyes), blue and green were not far behind.
The scientists next tried to connect the discovered eye colors with numerous factors, including habitat, fur color, and hunting behavior, to help explain why those shades had evolved. But they found little correlation. “Siberian dogs have those bright blue eyes because we wanted them to and bred them accordingly, but in wild cats, I have no idea what’s going on here,” Tabin says. Perhaps cats prefer particular eye colors in mates — but it would be challenging to test.
28. Why do wild cats’ eye colors puzzle researchers?
A. Their diversity contradicts expected patterns. B. Fossils cannot preserve eye color information.
C. Too many species exist to compare effectively. D. Lighting conditions alter colors in online photos.
29. How did the scientists conduct their study on wild cats’ eye colors?
A. By observing fossil records of extinct cats. B. By analyzing photos from an online database.
C. By examining melanin pigments in living cats. D. By studying artificial eyes of preserved samples.
30. What can we learn about the evolution of wild cats’ eye colors from Tabin’s words?
A. Extinct cats had only one eye color type. B. Gray eyes led to different eye colors later.
C. Blue and green eyes appeared before gray eyes. D. Gray eyes came from high melanin pigment amounts.
31. How does Tabin feel about the evolution of wild cats’ eye colors?
A. Pleased. B. Relieved. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家通过研究野生猫科动物的眼睛颜色,发现其祖先最先演化出灰色眼睛,随后眼睛颜色变得多样化,且目前尚未找到眼睛颜色演化与环境、习性等因素的关联。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Wild cats showcase a surprising diversity of eye colors, proving a mystery for researchers. Most wild species are known to have narrow eye color ranges, usually black, brown, or yellow.(野生猫科动物展现出惊人的眼睛颜色多样性,这对研究人员来说是个谜。大多数野生动物的眼睛颜色范围很窄,通常是黑色、棕色或黄色。)”可知,野生猫科动物眼睛颜色的多样性与预期的模式相悖,因此让研究者感到困惑。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They examined the clearest images submitted to the database iNaturalist, then classified each cat’s eye color, and mapped the data to the cat family tree.(他们查看了提交到iNaturalist数据库中最清晰的图片,然后对每只猫的眼睛颜色进行分类,并将数据映射到猫科动物的进化树上。)”可知,科学家通过分析在线数据库中的照片开展研究。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘It’s a way we can actually look into the eyes of the wild cat’s ancestor,’ Tabin says. ‘The ancestor developed gray eyes, and then the eye color diversity just exploded.’(‘这是一种我们真正能够窥见野生猫科动物祖先眼睛的方式,’塔宾说,‘祖先演化出了灰色眼睛,之后眼睛颜色的多样性就爆发了。’)”可知,灰色眼睛之后催生了多种多样的眼睛颜色。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Siberian dogs have those bright blue eyes because we wanted them to and bred them accordingly, but in wild cats, I have no idea what’s going on here,’ Tabin says.(‘西伯利亚犬拥有明亮的蓝眼睛是因为人类刻意选育,但对于野生猫科动物,我完全不知道背后的原因。’塔宾说。)”可知,塔宾对野生猫科动物眼睛颜色的演化感到困惑。故选D。

Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found. “This speed was extremely high and kind of shocking,” says astrophysicist Terry. It introduces a series of questions about the survivability of these types of systems.
This galactic speed “monster” appears to center on a red dwarf star (红矮星) which is smaller and less bright than our sun. It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center. Astronomers discovered the star and a suspected accompanying planet after a 2011 “microlensing” event called MOA-2011-BLG-262, when the system passed in front of a background star and bent the latter’s light. Terry and his colleagues observed the system again in 2021. They found that its known planet is most likely a gas giant with about 29 times Earth’s mass that orbits its star at a distance between those at which Venus and Earth orbit our sun.
The researchers also mapped the system’s position in the 2021 data relative to where it was about a decade prior, revealing how fast it traveled. It might be a hyper-speed star system, an example of a rare class of astronomical objects that have been sped up by past encounters with other stars’ gravity — or even by a gravitational slingshot (弹弓) from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. These objects travel faster than 500 kilometers a second, and the speediest known one travels at over 2,000 kilometers a second.
“It’s an extraordinary category of stars,” Terry says, estimating that the system in this study more than doubled its speed after its own dramatic encounter. “No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.
32. What does the underlined word “laggard” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Something moving slowly. B. Something becoming famous.
C. Something traveling endlessly. D. Something looking incomparable.
33. What can we learn about the “monster” from paragraph 2?
A. Its star is much brighter than our sun.
B. Its planet’s mass is identical to Venus’s.
C. It’s a system discovered through its own light.
D. It’s closer to the galactic center than Earth.
34. What does Terry think of the discovery?
A. It is accidental. B. It is common. C. It is pioneering. D. It is strange.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Milky Way Galaxy’s Center
B. The Solar System’s Bright Stars
C. The Fastest Astronomical Objects
D. The Planetary System Speed Record
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天文学家发现了银河系中速度最快的行星系统,该系统的运行速度远超太阳系,引发了关于此类系统生存性、行星起源与演化的一系列新研究。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found.(太阳系绕银河系中心运行一周约需2.1亿年,运行速度约为每秒240公里——这一惊人速度我们无法感知,因为整个系统以相同的恒定速度运动。但一项新研究表明,与银河系中一个被加速到每秒541公里的行星系统相比,我们的太阳系是宇宙中的laggard,该系统是迄今为止发现的速度最快的行星系统。)”可知,太阳系速度约240公里/秒,新发现系统速度达541公里/秒,二者对比能看出“laggard”表示“移动缓慢的事物”。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center.(它距离地球约24500光年,距离银河系中心约1500光年。)”结合地球距离银河系中心约26000光年的常识,可知该系统比地球更靠近银河系中心。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.(“此前从未发现过带有行星的超高速恒星。这可能会开启对超高速恒星周围行星起源与演化的新研究。”他补充道。)”可知,Terry认为该发现是首次发现带有行星的超高速恒星系统,能开辟新的研究方向,属于开创性的发现。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found.(但一项新研究表明,与银河系中一个被加速到每秒541公里的行星系统相比,我们的太阳系是宇宙中的移动缓慢的事物,该系统是迄今为止发现的速度最快的行星系统。)”以及全文围绕该速度最快的行星系统展开介绍其特征、发现过程、研究意义等内容,可知本文核心是介绍这一打破速度纪录的行星系统,D选项“The Planetary System Speed Record(行星系统速度纪录)”最能概括全文主旨。故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a secondary school student, the small park near our school was my favorite place. It was more than just a park; it was our secret playground and a peaceful corner full of joy. Every afternoon after class, my friends and I would run there happily, laughing and chatting as if we had no worries at all.
The park was always quiet and tidy. I enjoyed the fresh air, green trees and beautiful flowers there. But I didn’t know when things started to get worse there. Rubbish was everywhere, especially around the rubbish bins. Plastic bags, bottles and food waste made the park dirty. Every time I saw that, I felt sad and helpless.
One morning, on my way to school, I saw the park messier than ever. I felt I had to do something. During the break, I talked with my three best friends, Lewis, Stephen and Alice, about it. “The park is so dirty now,” I said sadly. “I really want to clean it up this weekend. Would you like to join me?” Stephen, one of my friends, frowned and looked a little worried. “I’d love to help, but I’m afraid it won’t make much difference. Some people will just litter again soon,” he said in a low voice. He was not really against the plan, but he was not confident enough.
Hearing that, I looked at him seriously and said, “Even small actions can help. If we don’t do anything, the park will only get dirtier. Maybe our work can encourage others to stop littering too.” Lewis nodded and said, “I believe people will notice our effort. We can also put up posters to remind everyone to protect the park.” Alice added gently, “It’s our park. If we don’t take care of it, no one else will.” Stephen thought for a while and finally nodded firmly. “You’re right. Let’s do it together. I’ll try my best.” To my joy, he completely changed his mind and became ready to take action with us.

We began to make plans.

On Saturday, we arrived on time and started right away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
We began to make plans. Stephen said he would bring gloves and large trash bags from home because his mom always kept many. Lewis offered to make some simple posters. “I’ll draw big eyes on them and include some cautionary phrases,” he said. Alice said she would bring extra masks and some water for us. We also decided to make a detailed list to make sure nothing important was forgotten. I suggested we meet at 8 o’clock on Saturday morning at the park gate. Everyone agreed, feeling excited about what we were going to do.
On Saturday, we arrived on time and started right away. Stephen and I put on gloves and began picking up rubbish. Lewis tied the bags when they were half full and then hung his posters on trees. Alice talked to people kindly and reminded them not to litter. By noon, the park was clean and bright. Looking at the tidy park, we felt proud and happy. We not only cleaned the park but also helped some people understand the importance of caring for the park. That day, I learned that if everyone does a little, together we can make our world a much better place.
