When I was a child, I would never run in the playground. While my friends were playing “tag”, I was sat on the sidelines unfortunately unable to play at their level. I remember an old photograph from a sports day in which my peers (同龄人) are all close to the finish line while I struggle at the halfway point.
By the time I was about 12 years old, I was using a wheelchair as my condition continued to worsen. Within an appointment with my doctor, he suggested cutting off my right leg. After hearing that, my heart immediately sank but the little cogs (轮齿) in my mind started moving. I had a foot that wasn’t working so why not just cut it off in order to get a new one.
I was wheeled down to surgery and after a quick injection, I was one sleep away from the start of my new life. I remember, the next day, I felt a rush of energy, as I was no longer in pain. I went privately in June 2017 and was fitted with a walking leg.
The doctor told me to be extremely careful with my walking leg. Despite this, I felt great: My mindset was changing and I started to see the world from a much taller level. No longer was I at the height of a child, I was walking and was going to be running as a young man. I started with 10-mile courses, initially (开始) walking most of the course until I could eventually run most of it. I completed events that I had never thought would be possible. The London Marathon, 36 Tough Mudder events, the World Judo Games … I was named British Judo’s Inclusion Player of the Year, and am now ranked top three in the world for judo.
I run because I couldn’t and I run for those that can’t. I run to show others that they are able to do things that they never thought would be possible and I run because I’m a runner.

AI has caught the spirit of the times in recent years, especially since the appearance of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022. As AI is catching on, it promises to change learning for the better.
Already, there are AI-powered tutoring (辅导) tools that can support learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered math tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months, had “higher” math growth scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, expert, personalized tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points out Joseph South, chief officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at an affordable price.”
However, there are still possible problems to deal with. AI can present imaginary things as facts, which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop biases (偏见) according to the collected information used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. Besides, experts warn that any educational organization needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be fed into AI tools, to reduce privacy (隐私) risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick solutions, which will influence their ability to pick up basic learning skills.” says Emily DeJeu, professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for them in the long term?” she asks, “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to provide guidance to schools”. And she adds: “The greatest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome AI.”
8. What was an important finding of the 2024 study in Ghana?
A. Students lost interest in maths.
B. Students preferred AI tutors to human ones.
C. AI tutors improved students’ communication skills.
D. Students with AI tutoring showed higher maths progress.
9. What is the biggest risk about AI-powered tutoring according to Emily DeJeu?
A. Students might lose basic learning skills.
B. AI could increase school management costs.
C. AI may provide wrong knowledge for students.
D. Teachers may face the situation of losing jobs.
10. What does Emily DeJeu suggest about using AI in education?
A. Welcome it without changes. B. Protect students’ privacy.
C. Make guiding rules for schools. D. Stop using it for doing homework.
11. In which part of a magazine can we read the passage?
A. Business and culture. B. Science and technology.
C. Literature and art. D. Health and lifestyle.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能在教育领域的应用及其带来的机遇和挑战,同时探讨了如何应对这些挑战。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered math tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months, had “higher” math growth scores than those in a control group. (牛津大学牵头的一项2024年的研究发现,在加纳,那些在八个月里每周通过WhatsApp使用人工智能数学辅导器两次、每次半小时的学生,其数学成绩的提升幅度比对照组的学生“更高”)”可知,2024年加纳研究的重要发现是,接受人工智能辅导的学生数学成绩进步分数更高。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick solutions, which will influence their ability to pick up basic learning skills.” says Emily DeJeu, professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. (但是,在一些人看来,最大的风险在于学习过程。卡内基梅隆大学商业管理与传播学教授Emily DeJeu表示:“随着学生越来越依赖人工智能工具,他们可能会将其用作快速解决问题的办法,这会影响他们掌握基本学习技能的能力。”)”可知,Emily DeJeu认为AI辅导的最大风险是学生过度依赖AI会影响其掌握基础学习技能的能力,即可能失去基础学习技能。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to provide guidance to schools”. (为了保护学生,她建议“我们需要政府制定规则来为学校提供指导”)”可知,Emily DeJeu建议政府制定规则来为学校提供指导,以规范人工智能在教育中的应用。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了人工智能在教育领域的应用及其带来的机遇和挑战,这属于科学技术范畴,所以最有可能在杂志的“科学与技术”部分读到这篇文章。故选B项。

Dark chocolate is often seen as a healthier choice. Many people believe it can help with problems like high blood pressure and even improve mental sharpness. But is this really true? Scientific evidence presents a more complex and less encouraging picture.
The health reputation of dark chocolate mainly comes from a compound called flavanols (黄烷醇), which are found in cocoa beans. Some studies, particularly those funded by the chocolate industry, suggest that these flavanols are beneficial. However, independent and more detailed research often fails to support these exciting claims.
Research on flavanols comes in different forms. Some short-term experiments showed that flavanols could slightly lower blood pressure. But the results across many studies are not consistent. Other studies, called observational studies, simply ask people about their diets. They found that individuals who consume more flavanols tend to be healthier, whereas this correlation does not equal causation. These people might be healthier for other reasons, such as having higher incomes, better overall diets, or being less likely to smoke.
To overcome these limitations, a large-scale trial named COSMOS was conducted. It involved thousands of older adults who took daily flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were revealing: while the supplements did not reduce the risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, or cancer, they did lead to a significant 27% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病).
Despite this single positive outcome, it is crucial not to misinterpret it. Achieving the same dose of flavanols used in the study by eating dark chocolate would be problematic. One would have to consume large amounts, which also means ingesting high levels of added sugar and saturated fats (饱和脂肪) — both known to be harmful to heart health. Therefore, getting flavanols from dark chocolate is not an efficient or healthy strategy. Healthier alternatives include pure cocoa powder, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and green tea.
While dark chocolate can be enjoyed as a tasty treat, its health benefits have been greatly overstated. The idea that it is a health food appears to be rooted more in clever marketing than in solid scientific evidence.
12. What is the main reason to question the health claims about dark chocolate?
A. It is only eaten on special occasions. B. It lacks support from solid scientific research.
C. It has been replaced by other healthier foods. D. Its ability to improve mental sharpness is unproven.
13. What can we infer about observational studies?
A. They are the most reliable type of scientific study.
B. They prove that dark chocolate is the healthiest food.
C. Their results might be influenced by other factors.
D. They focus on the effects of smoking rather than overall diets.
14. Why does the author mention “added sugar and saturated fats” in Paragraph 5?
A. To explain why dark chocolate tastes bitter.
B. To suggest that people should eat more dark chocolate.
C. To prove that all dark chocolate is harmful to heart disease.
D. To show that dark chocolate is not the best source of flavanols.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Sweet Truth: Dark chocolate is a Superfood
B. Flavanols: The Secret to a Long Life
C. The COSMOS Study: A Final Proof for chocolate?
D. Dark chocolate: A Healthy Treat or a Marketing Trick?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨黑巧克力的健康功效是否属实,通过分析相关研究指出其健康益处被夸大,更多源于营销而非确凿科学证据。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientific evidence presents a more complex and less encouraging picture.(科学证据呈现出一幅更复杂、更不乐观的图景。)”以及第二段中的“However, independent and more detailed research often fails to support these exciting claims.(然而,独立且更详细的研究往往无法支持这些令人兴奋的说法。)”可知,质疑黑巧克力健康功效的主要原因是其缺乏确凿科学研究的支持。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They found that individuals who consume more flavanols tend to be healthier, whereas this correlation does not equal causation. These people might be healthier for other reasons, such as having higher incomes, better overall diets, or being less likely to smoke.(他们发现,摄入更多黄烷醇的人往往更健康,但这种相关性并不等于因果关系。这些人可能因为其他原因而更健康,比如收入更高、整体饮食更好或吸烟的可能性更低。)”可知,观察性研究的结果可能受到收入、饮食、吸烟习惯等其他因素的影响,无法直接证明黄烷醇与健康之间的因果关系。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Achieving the same dose of flavanols used in the study by eating dark chocolate would be problematic. One would have to consume large amounts, which also means ingesting high levels of added sugar and saturated fats (饱和脂肪) — both known to be harmful to heart health. Therefore, getting flavanols from dark chocolate is not an efficient or healthy strategy. (通过吃黑巧克力来获取研究中使用的相同剂量的黄烷醇是有问题的。人们必须大量食用,这也意味着摄入高水平的添加糖和饱和脂肪——这两种物质都已知对心脏健康有害。因此,从黑巧克力中获取黄烷醇并不是一种有效或健康的策略。)”可知,作者提到添加糖和饱和脂肪,是为了说明通过大量食用黑巧克力获取黄烷醇会带来额外健康风险,进而表明黑巧克力并非获取黄烷醇的最佳来源。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“But is this really true? Scientific evidence presents a more complex and less encouraging picture.(但这真的是真的吗?科学证据呈现出一幅更复杂、更不乐观的图景。)”以及最后一段中的“While dark chocolate can be enjoyed as a tasty treat, its health benefits have been greatly overstated. The idea that it is a health food appears to be rooted more in clever marketing than in solid scientific evidence.(虽然黑巧克力可以作为一种美味的零食享用,但它的健康益处被大大夸大了。它是健康食品的说法似乎更多地源于巧妙的营销,而非确凿的科学证据。)”可知,文章核心围绕黑巧克力的健康功效展开,质疑其是否真的有益健康,指出其健康标签更多是营销手段,因此“黑巧克力:健康美食还是营销骗局?”最能概括全文主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一个特别受世界各地游客欢迎的目的地“天下第一关”——山海关的相关信息。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:山海关,被称为“天下第一关”,是中国长城的重要组成部分之一。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰Shanhai Pass ,结合句意,know与逻辑主语Shanhai Pass是被动关系,所以此处应用其过去分词形式作后置定语。故填known。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:山海关,被称为“天下第一关”,是中国长城的重要组成部分之一。结合句意,此处应用介词 of,表示所属关系。故填of。
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:这一战略位置使它在古代成为一个重要的地方。time 意为“时代”,是可数名词,ancient times 意为“古代”符合句意,所以此处为名词复数。故填times。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:根据历史记载,这个关隘建于14世纪的明朝,目的是保护中国。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“during the Ming Dynasty”可知,此处为一般过去时,结合句意,the pass与build之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,且它是在明朝建造的,故此处应用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为名词单数。故填was built。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:根据历史记载,这个关隘建于14世纪的明朝,目的是保护中国。此处为时间状语,序数词前应为定冠词the,in the 14th century意为“在十四世纪”符合句意。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:到山海关的游客可以探索保存完好的城墙和城门。根据下文中的walls and gates可知,此处应用形容词性物主代词its修饰名词。故填its。
【43题详解】
考查词性转换。句意:正门,镇东门,以其庞大的规模给人留下深刻的印象。此处为名词作宾语,impress的名词为impression意为“印象”,leave a deep impression 是固定搭配,意为“留下深刻的印象”。故填impression。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:山海关的一个令人惊讶的特点是“老龙头”。根据下文中的feature 可知,此处应用surprise的形容词surprising 作定语,意为“令人吃惊的”。故填surprising。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它让人很好的了解中国的过去和美妙的景色,游客将永远不会忘记。此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词views,从句中缺少宾语,所以此处应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
One day, I read a very sad story about a police dog named Solo that had been sent into a building to catch a suspect (嫌犯). The last thing Solo did before entering the building was to lick his owner’s face. A few minutes later, Solo was shot and killed in the line of duty. I knew how sad that officer must have felt because my own dog, Kela, had recently died.
The article went on to tell about a fundraiser (募捐活动) that was going on to help buy bulletproof vests (防弹背心) for the police dogs there. I thought every police dog should be protected just like the police. I may be a kid, but why can’t I do a fundraiser to help save the dogs in our area?
Then 1 found out that a bulletproof vest for a police dog costs $475. My mom thought it was a lot of money for an eleven-year-old girl to raise, but she told me to go ahead and try anyway.
We called our local Oceanside Police Department and learned that their dogs needed bulletproof vests. At that point, I realized that I needed a name for the fundraiser and thought since I was trying to protect just one dog’s life, I would call my program Vest A Dog.
I decided that vet offices and pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Vest A Dog fliers (传单). I used little green take-out boxes, decorated with a picture of Tiko, the dog I chose to vest, and me. I wrote on each box “Help protect the life of a police dog by donating a dollar.”
One afternoon, after all the boxes had been placed throughout our community, I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my fliers. The reporter decided to do an article about Vest A Dog. That ought to spread the word, I thought. I asked officer Jim Wall, who is Tiko’s partner, if they would have their picture taken with me for the article and they did.
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。
After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. Every day after school, I rushed to each location, hoping to find the boxes filled with contributions. To my delight, I started noticing more and more people stopping by the boxes, curious about Vest A Dog and willing to donate. Children were emptying their piggy banks, while adults were digging into their wallets for spare change or even writing checks. The community's response was overwhelming, and my heart swelled with gratitude.
About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes. With trembling hands, I separated the bills and coins, triple-checking each count. The total amount astounded me – it was far beyond what I had ever imagined. We had managed to raise not just enough for one vest, but sufficient funds for multiple vests. I couldn't wait to share the news with Officer Jim Wall and Tiko. Their joy and appreciation upon hearing the update was priceless and I realized that no dream is too big, and even a young heart can make a significant impact.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,主要介绍了一个小女孩为当地警犬筹集资金购买防弹背心的故事。受到一篇悲伤报道的启发,尽管年纪小,她仍决定发起募捐活动“Vest A Dog”。在得到母亲的支持和当地警察局确认需求后,她自制捐款箱和宣传单,在宠物相关场所布置,这一举动得到社区和当地报纸的支持。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句“文章发表后,我急切地查看是否有捐款。”可知,本段可描写募捐活动获社区热烈响应,女孩心怀感激。
②由第二段首句“大约三周后,我数了数所有盒子里的钱。”可知,本段可描写三周后募捐成功,所得远超预期,可为多只警犬购背心,该行动影响深远。
2.段落续写:报纸报道——大家开始关注——踊跃捐款——超出预期——分享消息——感到高兴并感恩——深远的影响

When I was a child, I would never run in the playground. While my friends were playing “tag”, I was sat on the sidelines unfortunately unable to play at their level. I remember an old photograph from a sports day in which my peers (同龄人) are all close to the finish line while I struggle at the halfway point.
By the time I was about 12 years old, I was using a wheelchair as my condition continued to worsen. Within an appointment with my doctor, he suggested cutting off my right leg. After hearing that, my heart immediately sank but the little cogs (轮齿) in my mind started moving. I had a foot that wasn’t working so why not just cut it off in order to get a new one.
I was wheeled down to surgery and after a quick injection, I was one sleep away from the start of my new life. I remember, the next day, I felt a rush of energy, as I was no longer in pain. I went privately in June 2017 and was fitted with a walking leg.
The doctor told me to be extremely careful with my walking leg. Despite this, I felt great: My mindset was changing and I started to see the world from a much taller level. No longer was I at the height of a child, I was walking and was going to be running as a young man. I started with 10-mile courses, initially (开始) walking most of the course until I could eventually run most of it. I completed events that I had never thought would be possible. The London Marathon, 36 Tough Mudder events, the World Judo Games … I was named British Judo’s Inclusion Player of the Year, and am now ranked top three in the world for judo.
I run because I couldn’t and I run for those that can’t. I run to show others that they are able to do things that they never thought would be possible and I run because I’m a runner.

AI has caught the spirit of the times in recent years, especially since the appearance of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022. As AI is catching on, it promises to change learning for the better.
Already, there are AI-powered tutoring (辅导) tools that can support learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered math tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months, had “higher” math growth scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, expert, personalized tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points out Joseph South, chief officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at an affordable price.”
However, there are still possible problems to deal with. AI can present imaginary things as facts, which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop biases (偏见) according to the collected information used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. Besides, experts warn that any educational organization needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be fed into AI tools, to reduce privacy (隐私) risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick solutions, which will influence their ability to pick up basic learning skills.” says Emily DeJeu, professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for them in the long term?” she asks, “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to provide guidance to schools”. And she adds: “The greatest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome AI.”
8. What was an important finding of the 2024 study in Ghana?
A. Students lost interest in maths.
B. Students preferred AI tutors to human ones.
C. AI tutors improved students’ communication skills.
D. Students with AI tutoring showed higher maths progress.
9. What is the biggest risk about AI-powered tutoring according to Emily DeJeu?
A. Students might lose basic learning skills.
B. AI could increase school management costs.
C. AI may provide wrong knowledge for students.
D. Teachers may face the situation of losing jobs.
10. What does Emily DeJeu suggest about using AI in education?

Dark chocolate is often seen as a healthier choice. Many people believe it can help with problems like high blood pressure and even improve mental sharpness. But is this really true? Scientific evidence presents a more complex and less encouraging picture.
The health reputation of dark chocolate mainly comes from a compound called flavanols (黄烷醇), which are found in cocoa beans. Some studies, particularly those funded by the chocolate industry, suggest that these flavanols are beneficial. However, independent and more detailed research often fails to support these exciting claims.
Research on flavanols comes in different forms. Some short-term experiments showed that flavanols could slightly lower blood pressure. But the results across many studies are not consistent. Other studies, called observational studies, simply ask people about their diets. They found that individuals who consume more flavanols tend to be healthier, whereas this correlation does not equal causation. These people might be healthier for other reasons, such as having higher incomes, better overall diets, or being less likely to smoke.
To overcome these limitations, a large-scale trial named COSMOS was conducted. It involved thousands of older adults who took daily flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were revealing: while the supplements did not reduce the risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, or cancer, they did lead to a significant 27% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病).
Despite this single positive outcome, it is crucial not to misinterpret it. Achieving the same dose of flavanols used in the study by eating dark chocolate would be problematic. One would have to consume large amounts, which also means ingesting high levels of added sugar and saturated fats (饱和脂肪) — both known to be harmful to heart health. Therefore, getting flavanols from dark chocolate is not an efficient or healthy strategy. Healthier alternatives include pure cocoa powder, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and green tea.
While dark chocolate can be enjoyed as a tasty treat, its health benefits have been greatly overstated. The idea that it is a health food appears to be rooted more in clever marketing than in solid scientific evidence.
12. What is the main reason to question the health claims about dark chocolate?
A. It is only eaten on special occasions. B. It lacks support from solid scientific research.
C. It has been replaced by other healthier foods. D. Its ability to improve mental sharpness is unproven.
13. What can we infer about observational studies?
A. They are the most reliable type of scientific study.
B. They prove that dark chocolate is the healthiest food.
C. Their results might be influenced by other factors.
D. They focus on the effects of smoking rather than overall diets.
14. Why does the author mention “added sugar and saturated fats” in Paragraph 5?
A. To explain why dark chocolate tastes bitter.
B. To suggest that people should eat more dark chocolate.
C. To prove that all dark chocolate is harmful to heart disease.
D. To show that dark chocolate is not the best source of flavanols.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Sweet Truth: Dark chocolate is a Superfood
B. Flavanols: The Secret to a Long Life
C. The COSMOS Study: A Final Proof for chocolate?
D. Dark chocolate: A Healthy Treat or a Marketing Trick?

47. 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。
One day, I read a very sad story about a police dog named Solo that had been sent into a building to catch a suspect (嫌犯). The last thing Solo did before entering the building was to lick his owner’s face. A few minutes later, Solo was shot and killed in the line of duty. I knew how sad that officer must have felt because my own dog, Kela, had recently died.
The article went on to tell about a fundraiser (募捐活动) that was going on to help buy bulletproof vests (防弹背心) for the police dogs there. I thought every police dog should be protected just like the police. I may be a kid, but why can’t I do a fundraiser to help save the dogs in our area?
Then 1 found out that a bulletproof vest for a police dog costs $475. My mom thought it was a lot of money for an eleven-year-old girl to raise, but she told me to go ahead and try anyway.
We called our local Oceanside Police Department and learned that their dogs needed bulletproof vests. At that point, I realized that I needed a name for the fundraiser and thought since I was trying to protect just one dog’s life, I would call my program Vest A Dog.
I decided that vet offices and pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Vest A Dog fliers (传单). I used little green take-out boxes, decorated with a picture of Tiko, the dog I chose to vest, and me. I wrote on each box “Help protect the life of a police dog by donating a dollar.”
One afternoon, after all the boxes had been placed throughout our community, I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my fliers. The reporter decided to do an article about Vest A Dog. That ought to spread the word, I thought. I asked officer Jim Wall, who is Tiko’s partner, if they would have their picture taken with me for the article and they did.
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。
After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes.
