Instead, this journey trapped her at sea for a decade. Her British parents sought to recreate Captain Cook’s 18th- century voyage — a dream that became her childhood nightmare. While her parents called this trip a “free and glorious journey,” Suzanne has since compared it to being imprisoned. Trapped on the boat with no formal schooling, she was limited to the wooden boat and endless horizons. “Father promised we’d return to our dog and friends in three years,” Suzanne recalls in her book Wavewalker.” “But ten years passed before I touched English soil again — years without classrooms or playground friendships.” A few months after they left England, they were hit by an enormous wave. The wave crashed over the back of the boat and Suzanne was seriously injured. “My head bone cracked, nose broken, blood mixing with seawater.” She recalls. Washed ashore on a faraway Indian island, she underwent an emergency head operation — without anesthetics. “The doctor used basic tools; I bit a leather belt to silence screams.” As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life. At thirteen, she registered in an Australian correspondence course. nights unfolded in her rocking cabin (船舱); a shaking oil lamp lightening math problems, geography maps pinned to damp walls. “I struggled daily,” she admits. Her parents always wanted her to work rather than spend days in books. However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline. Despite these difficulties, she landed a spot at Oxford University. Today, her bestselling book inspires millions. Readers worldwide declare: “Your escape from the waves proves we can have our own futures!” 4. What expectation did Suzanne have about the voyage in the beginning? A. She would be trapped on the sea. B. She would have a childhood nightmare. C. She would experience exciting adventures. D. She would recreate Captain Cook’s wonder. 5. What did Suzanne think of her life at sea in Paragraph 2? A. It was a separation from normal life. B. It was an opportunity to broaden horizons. C. It was a challenging training to be a sailor. D. It was a glorious journey to explore the sea. 6. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Working on board. B. Getting parental support. C. Educating herself. D. Completing the voyage. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Think twice before you act. B. East or west, home is best. C. A good turn deserves another. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Suzanne随父母航海十年的经历，她在海上遭遇受伤、无正规教育等困境，但通过自学考上牛津大学，其书激励了无数人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When seven-year-old Suzanne Heywood was told her family would sail the world for three years, she imagined thrilling adventures.(当七岁的苏珊娜·海伍德被告知她的家人将航海环游世界三年时，她想象着激动人心的冒险)”可知，一开始Suzanne期望自己能经历刺激的冒险。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Trapped on the boat with no formal schooling, she was limited to the wooden boat and endless horizons. ‘Father promised we’d return to our dog and friends in three years,’ Suzanne recalls in her book Wavewalker. ‘But ten years passed before I touched English soil again — years without classrooms or playground friendships.’(她被困在船上，没有接受正规教育，只能待在木船上，面对无尽的海洋。“父亲承诺我们三年后会回到我们的狗和朋友身边，”苏珊娜在她的书《浪行者》中回忆道。“但在我再次踏上英国的土地之前，十年过去了——那些年没有教室，也没有操场上的友谊。”)”可知，在海上的十年，Suzanne被困在船上，没有接受正规教育，没有教室，也没有操场上的友谊，所以她会认为这种生活是与正常生活相分离的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life.(当很明显她的父母无意回去时，苏珊娜决定自学，因为教育是下船过上正常生活的唯一途径)”和划线词所在句“However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline.(然而，这次她没有屈服，因为那是她唯一的救命稻草)”可知，指示代词that指代的是前面提到的在船上“自学”这件事，即“Educating herself.”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life. At thirteen, she registered in an Australian correspondence course. nights unfolded in her rocking cabin (船舱); a shaking oil lamp lightening math problems, geography maps pinned to damp walls. ‘I struggled daily,’ she admits. Her parents always wanted her to work rather than spend days in books. However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline.(当很明显她的父母无意回去时，苏珊娜决定自学，因为教育是下船过上正常生活的唯一途径。13岁时，她注册了一个澳大利亚的函授课程。在她摇晃的船舱里，夜晚降临；一盏摇晃的油灯照亮了数学题，地理地图钉在潮湿的墙上。“我每天都在挣扎，”她承认。她的父母总是希望她去工作，而不是整天读书。然而，这次她没有屈服，因为那是她唯一的救命稻草。)”和最后一段“Despite these difficulties, she landed a spot at Oxford University.(尽管困难重重，她还是被牛津大学录取了)”可知，Suzanne在面临诸多困难时，凭借坚定的决心坚持自我教育，最终实现了进入牛津大学的目标，体现了只要有决心就有办法成功。“Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者，事竟成)”符合文意。故选D项。 C There is a day every year that most people look forward to because of a cake, balloons, presents and sometimes a party. Yes, this is your birthday. A “birthday” is described as the name given to the date of the annual event of a person’s birth. It is a global tradition for people to celebrate this specific day. In the beginning, people did not have birthday celebrations, because people did not keep very good birth records. They weren’t even sure what year they were born. And when people started to celebrate the birthday, there was no tradition of bringing gifts, and guests attending the birthday celebrations would bring good wishes for the birthday person. However, if a guest did bring gifts, it was considered to be a good sign for the person of honor. Later, flowers became quite popular as birthday gifts. Nowadays, different cultures have their own birthday celebrations. In Chinese culture, elders and family members gather around the one-year-old child and bring toys such as books, dolls and coins. It is believed that the child’s future career will depend on the object that he or she picks. The Chinese consider a child a year old at birth. In Japan, people’s 3rd, 5th, and 7th birthdays are the most important, because they will get to participate in the annual “Seven-Five-Three” festival. Participants usually visit shrines (神殿) to show thanks for their health and strength. Some in Britain still practice an ancient way of celebrating birthdays by placing thimbles (顶针) and coins in the cake. The person who gets the coin will be wealthy and the one who gets the thimble will never marry. Ireland has a funny way of celebrating birthdays. It is believed that it is for good luck that a child is lifted upside down and gets “bumped” (撞击) on the floor! These bumps will depend how old the child is. An extra bump is also added for good luck. 8. What’s the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic of the text. B. To pick a way of celebrating birthday. C. To show readers how to develop the text. D. To introduce how to celebrate the birthday. 9. Why didn’t people celebrate their birthday s in the beginning? A. They didn’t have extra time. B. They didn’t have money at all. C. They didn’t think it necessary. D. They didn’t remember the birthdays. 10. What do we know about the birthday in Japan? A. Newborn babies should be brought to shrines. B. Children have three most important birthdays. C. Children have to visit the church to show thanks. D. One-year-old children pick the objects around them. 11. What does the act of bumping mean in Ireland? A. Great wealth. B. Good luck. C. Happy marriage. D. Long life. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生日是每年庆祝出生的日子，起初无庆祝及送礼传统，如今不同文化有各自习俗，如中国抓周、日本七五三祭等。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There is a day every year that most people look forward to because of a cake, balloons, presents and sometimes a party. Yes, this is your birthday. A “birthday” is described as the name given to the date of the annual event of a person’s birth. It is a global tradition for people to celebrate this specific day. (每年都有这样一天，大多数人都满怀期待，因为这一天会有蛋糕、气球、礼物，有时还会举办派对。没错，这一天就是你的生日。“生日”指的是一个人每年出生这一重要时刻的日期。在全球范围内，人们都有庆祝这一天的传统。)”可知，第一段的主要目的是引入本文关于庆祝生日的主题。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the beginning, people did not have birthday celebrations, because people did not keep very good birth records. They weren’t even sure what year they were born. (起初，人们并不举行生日庆祝活动，因为当时人们并没有保存完善的出生记录。他们甚至都不清楚自己是哪一年出生的。)”可知，人们一开始不庆祝自己的生日是因为他们不记得自己的生日。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In Japan, people’s 3rd, 5th, and 7th birthdays are the most important, because they will get to participate in the annual “Seven-Five-Three” festival. (在日本，人们在3岁、5岁和7岁时过生日是最重要的时刻，因为届时他们可以参加一年一度的“七五三”庆典。)”可知，在日本孩子们有三个非常重要的生日。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ireland has a funny way of celebrating birthdays. It is believed that it is for good luck that a child is lifted upside down and gets “bumped” (撞击) on the floor! These bumps will depend how old the child is. An extra bump is also added for good luck. (爱尔兰庆祝生日的方式很有趣。据说，将孩子倒挂起来并使其在地板上“碰撞”一下会带来好运！碰撞的次数取决于孩子的年龄。而且还会额外加一次碰撞以求更添好运。)”可知，在爱尔兰，撞击这个动作意味着祝你好运。故选B。 D When it comes to symbols of the UK, people may think of the red telephone box. For many, taking photos with one is a must-do when visiting the country. The red telephone box also plays an important role in many movies and novels. One of the most famous examples can be found in the Harry Potter series. In the story, the secret Ministry of Magic has a hidden entrance inside a London telephone box. There, people can reach the ministry by dialing 62442. However, as more people have their own mobile phones these days, public phone boxes are not used much anymore. To protect this symbol of British cultural heritage, people are finding creative ways to reuse the phone boxes. In recent years, they have become mini-libraries, cafes and even art spaces. For example, along Hampstead High Street in North London, a telephone box has been turned into a cute cafe. Although it’s tiny, this special cafe offers coffee, tea, cakes and sandwiches. There are also lots of mini-lending libraries in old phone boxes across the UK. One example is the Lewisham Micro Library. People can borrow a book from the library and replace it with one of their own. Starting this year, 2,000 telephone boxes will be changed into new street centers. These digital red telephone boxes will offer free WiFi, phone calls and local information over the next 10 years, beginning in 2025. 12. What is the purpose of mentioning the secret Ministry of Magic in the text? A. To introduce where its hidden entrance is. B. To tell readers how to make phone calls in the movies. C. To show red phone boxes are special in British culture. D. To explain what has made the Harry Potter series popular. 13. Why are public phone boxes less used nowadays according to the text? A. They are out of service. B. People prefer using mobile phones. C. They are too expensive to use. D. They are not available in many areas. 14. How does the UK protect the red telephone boxes? A. By making people pay to use them. B. By painting them with more colors. C. By keeping people away from them. D. By turning them into useful new spaces. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The telephone boxes are an American symbol. B. The red telephone boxes will become museums. C. British people protect the red telephone boxes creatively. D. The red telephone boxes will gradually disappear in the UK. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国红色电话亭的文化意义、现状及人们为保护这一文化符号所采取的创造性再利用方式。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The red telephone box also plays an important role in many movies and novels. One of the most famous examples can be found in the Harry Potter series. In the story, the secret Ministry of Magic has a hidden entrance inside a London telephone box.(红色电话亭在许多电影和小说中也扮演着重要角色。最著名的例子之一可见于《哈利・波特》系列。在故事中，神秘的魔法部在伦敦的一个电话亭内有一个隐藏入口)”可推知，提及魔法部是为了说明红色电话亭在英国文化中具有特殊性。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, as more people have their own mobile phones these days, public phone boxes are not used much anymore.(然而，如今随着越来越多的人拥有自己的手机，公用电话亭不再被频繁使用)”可知，如今公用电话亭使用减少是因为人们更喜欢用手机。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“To protect this symbol of British cultural heritage, people are finding creative ways to reuse the phone boxes. In recent years, they have become mini-libraries, cafes and even art spaces.(为了保护这一英国文化遗产的象征，人们正在寻找富有创意的方式来重新利用电话亭。近年来，这些电话亭已经变成了迷你图书馆、咖啡馆，甚至是艺术空间)”可知，英国通过将红色电话亭改造成有用的新空间来保护它们。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕英国红色电话亭展开，介绍了其文化意义、因手机普及而被冷落的现状，以及人们将其改造成迷你图书馆、咖啡馆等创造性保护方式。C 项“British people protect the red telephone boxes creatively.(英国人创造性地保护红色电话亭)”概括了文章核心内容。故选C。 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。 Learning about and understanding diverse cultures can broaden our horizons (眼界) and help us respect people from different backgrounds. ___16___.

I picked up a newspaper, looking through the want ads. I underlined the jobs that seemed suitable for me. One of them caught my eye: “Waitress Wanted.” “Why not?” I dressed quickly, pulled my hair back, and stood in front of the mirror. “I can do this,” I told myself. When I got to the restaurant, the owner asked, “Have you had any experience?” “Oh, yes!” I nodded. “Great! Can you start in a few days?” “Yes, yes!” I answered eagerly. On my first day, the owner explained what I should pay attention to. Then I watched how the other waitresses set the tables, taking notes of every detail. The restaurant started to get busy. A group of men came in and walked to the tables I waited on. I immediately felt nervous. I watched them take their seats and settle in. With a deep breath, I said to myself, “I can do this,” repeating it several times. I picked up the menus and made my way to them, hands sweating. “Good morning, gentlemen. Welcome to our restaurant. My name’s Flo, and I’m new here. It’s my pleasure to serve you. Our special is fish. Would you like to try it?” All of them smiled at me and agreed to have a try. “How lucky I am to meet such friendly guests on my first day!” I thought. Before the food was ready, I’d watched some waitresses pile (摞) at least three plates on an arm. It didn’t look so hard. When my order came up, I confidently placed three plates on one arm and headed through the kitchen door. Plate one with fish was placed on the table, nice and easy. Plate two, steak, the same. Plate three, however, fell directly onto a man’s lap! 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。 Creamy fruit salad ran right down his trousers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He refused my offer to pay and comforted me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Creamy fruit salad ran right down his trousers. My face burned with embarrassment as the entire table fell silent. “I’m so sorry, sir! Let me clean that up for you!” I grabbed a stack of napkins, my hands trembling. To my surprise, the man burst out laughing. “Well, that’s one way to make an impression!” he said, dabbing at the mess. The other diners joined in the laughter, and the tension eased. He refused my offer to pay and comforted me. “Don’t worry about it,” he said kindly. “Everyone has their first-day jitters.” His words made me tear up, but I blinked them away. Determined to prove myself, I worked extra hard the rest of the shift, double-checking every order. By closing time, the owner patted my shoulder and said, “Good job. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how you recover.” That night, as I walked home, I realized this wasn’t just about waiting tables. It was about humility and the kindness of strangers. And for the first time in weeks, I felt hopeful about the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者首日服务员工作为线索展开，讲述了失业的作者鼓起勇气应聘餐厅服务员。第一天服务时，作者模仿老员工单手托三盘菜，却不慎将水果沙拉打翻在客人裤子上。意外的是，客人幽默化解尴尬，并给予安慰。作者很受感动，之后细致地做好自己的工作，这次经历也让作者重拾对未来的信心。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“奶油水果沙拉顺着他的裤子流下来了”可知，第一段可描写作者赶紧处理这个危机，向顾客道歉，顾客用幽默的方式化解了作者的尴尬，缓和了气氛。 ②由第二段首句内容“他拒绝了我付钱的提议，并安慰我”可知，第二段可描写作者因为安慰而努力工作，仔细做好服务，下班后老板肯定作者的努力，作者收获了成长与感悟。 2. 续写线索：沙拉落到顾客身上——作者紧张道歉——顾客宽容原谅——顾客安慰作者——作者仔细工作——作者得到肯定，收获感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/grasp/seize ②颤抖：tremble/shake/quiver ③重要：matter/count ④意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness/uneasiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] Mistakes happen, but what matters is how you recover.

B When seven-year-old Suzanne Heywood was told her family would sail the world for three years, she imagined thrilling adventures. Instead, this journey trapped her at sea for a decade. Her British parents sought to recreate Captain Cook’s 18th- century voyage — a dream that became her childhood nightmare. While her parents called this trip a “free and glorious journey,” Suzanne has since compared it to being imprisoned. Trapped on the boat with no formal schooling, she was limited to the wooden boat and endless horizons. “Father promised we’d return to our dog and friends in three years,” Suzanne recalls in her book Wavewalker.” “But ten years passed before I touched English soil again — years without classrooms or playground friendships.” A few months after they left England, they were hit by an enormous wave. The wave crashed over the back of the boat and Suzanne was seriously injured. “My head bone cracked, nose broken, blood mixing with seawater.” She recalls. Washed ashore on a faraway Indian island, she underwent an emergency head operation — without anesthetics. “The doctor used basic tools; I bit a leather belt to silence screams.” As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life. At thirteen, she registered in an Australian correspondence course. nights unfolded in her rocking cabin (船舱); a shaking oil lamp lightening math problems, geography maps pinned to damp walls. “I struggled daily,” she admits. Her parents always wanted her to work rather than spend days in books. However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline. Despite these difficulties, she landed a spot at Oxford University. Today, her bestselling book inspires millions. Readers worldwide declare: “Your escape from the waves proves we can have our own futures!” 4. What expectation did Suzanne have about the voyage in the beginning? A. She would be trapped on the sea. B. She would have a childhood nightmare. C. She would experience exciting adventures. D. She would recreate Captain Cook’s wonder. 5. What did Suzanne think of her life at sea in Paragraph 2? A. It was a separation from normal life. B. It was an opportunity to broaden horizons. C. It was a challenging training to be a sailor. D. It was a glorious journey to explore the sea. 6. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Working on board. B. Getting parental support. C. Educating herself. D. Completing the voyage. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Think twice before you act. B. East or west, home is best. C. A good turn deserves another. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C There is a day every year that most people look forward to because of a cake, balloons, presents and sometimes a party. Yes, this is your birthday. A “birthday” is described as the name given to the date of the annual event of a person’s birth. It is a global tradition for people to celebrate this specific day. In the beginning, people did not have birthday celebrations, because people did not keep very good birth records. They weren’t even sure what year they were born. And when people started to celebrate the birthday, there was no tradition of bringing gifts, and guests attending the birthday celebrations would bring good wishes for the birthday person. However, if a guest did bring gifts, it was considered to be a good sign for the person of honor. Later, flowers became quite popular as birthday gifts. Nowadays, different cultures have their own birthday celebrations. In Chinese culture, elders and family members gather around the one-year-old child and bring toys such as books, dolls and coins. It is believed that the child’s future career will depend on the object that he or she picks. The Chinese consider a child a year old at birth. In Japan, people’s 3rd, 5th, and 7th birthdays are the most important, because they will get to participate in the annual “Seven-Five-Three” festival. Participants usually visit shrines (神殿) to show thanks for their health and strength. Some in Britain still practice an ancient way of celebrating birthdays by placing thimbles (顶针) and coins in the cake. The person who gets the coin will be wealthy and the one who gets the thimble will never marry. Ireland has a funny way of celebrating birthdays. It is believed that it is for good luck that a child is lifted upside down and gets “bumped” (撞击) on the floor! These bumps will depend how old the child is. An extra bump is also added for good luck. 8. What’s the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic of the text. B. To pick a way of celebrating birthday. C. To show readers how to develop the text. D. To introduce how to celebrate the birthday. 9. Why didn’t people celebrate their birthday s in the beginning? A. They didn’t have extra time. B. They didn’t have money at all. C. They didn’t think it necessary. D. They didn’t remember the birthdays. 10. What do we know about the birthday in Japan? A. Newborn babies should be brought to shrines. B. Children have three most important birthdays. C. Children have to visit the church to show thanks. D. One-year-old children pick the objects around them. 11. What does the act of bumping mean in Ireland? A. Great wealth. B. Good luck. C. Happy marriage. D. Long life. D When it comes to symbols of the UK, people may think of the red telephone box. For many, taking photos with one is a must-do when visiting the country. The red telephone box also plays an important role in many movies and novels. One of the most famous examples can be found in the Harry Potter series. In the story, the secret Ministry of Magic has a hidden entrance inside a London telephone box. There, people can reach the ministry by dialing 62442. However, as more people have their own mobile phones these days, public phone boxes are not used much anymore. To protect this symbol of British cultural heritage, people are finding creative ways to reuse the phone boxes. In recent years, they have become mini-libraries, cafes and even art spaces. For example, along Hampstead High Street in North London, a telephone box has been turned into a cute cafe. Although it’s tiny, this special cafe offers coffee, tea, cakes and sandwiches. There are also lots of mini-lending libraries in old phone boxes across the UK. One example is the Lewisham Micro Library. People can borrow a book from the library and replace it with one of their own. Starting this year, 2,000 telephone boxes will be changed into new street centers. These digital red telephone boxes will offer free WiFi, phone calls and local information over the next 10 years, beginning in 2025. 12. What is the purpose of mentioning the secret Ministry of Magic in the text? A. To introduce where its hidden entrance is. B. To tell readers how to make phone calls in the movies. C. To show red phone boxes are special in British culture. D. To explain what has made the Harry Potter series popular. 13. Why are public phone boxes less used nowadays according to the text? A. They are out of service. B. People prefer using mobile phones. C. They are too expensive to use. D. They are not available in many areas. 14. How does the UK protect the red telephone boxes? A.

I picked up a newspaper, looking through the want ads. I underlined the jobs that seemed suitable for me. One of them caught my eye: “Waitress Wanted.” “Why not?” I dressed quickly, pulled my hair back, and stood in front of the mirror. “I can do this,” I told myself. When I got to the restaurant, the owner asked, “Have you had any experience?” “Oh, yes!” I nodded. “Great! Can you start in a few days?” “Yes, yes!” I answered eagerly. On my first day, the owner explained what I should pay attention to. Then I watched how the other waitresses set the tables, taking notes of every detail. The restaurant started to get busy. A group of men came in and walked to the tables I waited on. I immediately felt nervous. I watched them take their seats and settle in. With a deep breath, I said to myself, “I can do this,” repeating it several times. I picked up the menus and made my way to them, hands sweating. “Good morning, gentlemen. Welcome to our restaurant. My name’s Flo, and I’m new here. It’s my pleasure to serve you. Our special is fish. Would you like to try it?” All of them smiled at me and agreed to have a try. “How lucky I am to meet such friendly guests on my first day!” I thought. Before the food was ready, I’d watched some waitresses pile (摞) at least three plates on an arm. It didn’t look so hard. When my order came up, I confidently placed three plates on one arm and headed through the kitchen door. Plate one with fish was placed on the table, nice and easy. Plate two, steak, the same. Plate three, however, fell directly onto a man’s lap! 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。 Creamy fruit salad ran right down his trousers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He refused my offer to pay and comforted me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Keh, have you picked up mister Lopez at the airport?
