I can’t wait to share the friendly football match we had with our sister school last week with you. The match was held to strengthen bonds and promote teamwork. All players exchanged passes and shot with great enthusiasm. We led by 2-1 at halftime, but the opponent made a strong comeback. The game ended in a 3-3 draw. I felt proud and excited throughout the match, and I was impressed by the sportsmanship and friendly spirit from both teams. Hope we can watch a match together someday! Best wishes, Lihua 读后续写： 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一年一度的感恩节到来，孩子们盛装打扮去向邻居索要糖果，家境贫穷的艾利森因为衣服廉价而被安娜和她的朋友们排挤，看到这一切的沃恩太太决定给安娜他们一个教训，于是沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果并告诉安娜他们这是因为艾利森经常帮助邻居们，她的内在更美，于是孩子们意识到了自己的错误并主动邀请艾莉森成为了朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当安娜和她的朋友们敲她的门时，沃恩太太开了门。”可知，第一段可描写沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果，而给了安娜和她的朋友们很少的糖果。 ②由第二段首句内容“安娜抬起头说：‘我们的衣服更漂亮!但你给了艾莉森更多的糖果！为什么？’”可知，第二段可描写沃恩太太解释说是因为艾利森的内在更美并鼓励安娜和她的朋友们和艾利森成为朋友。 2.续写线索：索要糖果——呼唤艾莉森——分配糖果——教导——惭愧——交朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①.谢绝：decline/refuse ②.意识到：realize/be aware that ③.赶上：catch up with/keep up with 情绪类： ①.生气：angry/annoyed/irritated ②.困惑：confused/puzzled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes. (运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] Mrs Vaughan looked down calmly and explained that Allison was always friendly to neighbors. (运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【参考范文】 When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. The girls greeted her, showed off their beautiful clothes and asked for candy. Mrs Vaughan, who held a bag of sweets, asked them to wait for a moment. Then, she waved to Allison, calling out, “Dear, come here!” When Allison came, Mrs Vaughan said, “Oh, how beautiful you are today!” Then, she gave Allison most of her candy although the girl declined. When Allison walked away, Mrs Vaughan divided the rest of the candy among Anna and her friends, who were a little angry and confused. Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why?” Mrs Vaughan looked down calmly and explained that Allison was always friendly to neighbors. “She has great inner beauty. Inner beauty is more important. Why not be friends with her?” Mrs Vaughan added. Hearing that, Anna and her friends’ faces turned red and they realized they had done something wrong. They said goodbye to Mrs Vaughan, caught up with Allison, and sincerely invited Allison to join them. Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes. 答案详解： 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了几本好书。 【21题详解】细节理解题。根据“The Hunger Games”部分中的“The book has just been made into a highly successful Hollywood movie.(这本书刚刚被拍成了一部非常成功的好莱坞电影)”可知，《饥饿游戏》这本书的特别之处在于它已经被拍成了电影，即搬上荧幕。故选B。 【22题详解】细节理解题。根据“The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad”部分中“A few years ago, real-life American couple Barry and Debbie decided to escape the rat race and live in Venice for a year.(几年前，现实生活中的美国夫妇Barry和Debbie决定逃离激烈的竞争，在威尼斯住了一年)”可知，《The Venice Experiment》一书讲述的是一对美国夫妇决定逃离激烈的商业竞争，前往意大利威尼斯生活一年的经历，即《The Venice Experiment》是关于在国外生活的。故选D。 【23题详解】推理判断题。全文在介绍四本书并给出简要内容，属于 “图书推荐 / 书评” 类栏目。A 科学、B 旅行、D 体育都只是某一本书的局部话题，不能概括全文。故选C。 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者因为父母是犹太人和印度人而庆祝两种不同文化的节日Hanukkah和Diwali，并对两个节日作了介绍。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali.(她指的是这样一个事实：我们一半是犹太人，一半是印度人，所以我们在光明节和排灯节都收到礼物)”可知，作者的父母一个是犹太人，一个是印度人，因为父母庆祝各自不同的文化节日，作者会在两个节日里得到礼物，故选C。 【25题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When we walk towards the gift, our parents say ‘hot’ and when we walk farther away, they say ‘cold’.(当我们走向礼物时，父母说‘热’，当我们走远了，他们说‘冷’)”可推知，“hot and cold”是一种光明节期间寻找礼物的游戏，故选A。 【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah (大烛台) and say a prayer each night.(在光明节，像大多数犹太家庭一样，我们每天晚上点燃烛台祈祷)”和第三段中“To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi.(为了庆祝排灯节，我的家人会为拉克希米女神祈祷)”可知，两个节日都让家人祈祷，故选C。 【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often.(我喜欢这个假期的另一部分是看到我们不经常见到的家人。)”、第三段中“We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.(我们还放鞭炮，这是我最喜欢的部分。我们经常和朋友一起做这个活动来增加刺激。)”以及最后一段中“They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me!(它们都译为‘灯节’，对我来说都意味着家人和礼物)”可知，作者喜欢庆祝这两个节日，持欣赏态度，故选C。 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了智能手机电影制作的兴起。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The London International Smartphone Film Festival, known as SMART, was launched in 2021 to celebrate the creativity and diversity of smartphone films. ”可知，SMART电影节的主要目的是庆祝智能手机电影的创造力和多样性。故选D项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。题干中的 led to对应原文中的 resulted in。根据第三段“Since then, a demand for more diverse films has resulted in a boom in smartphone filmmaking.”可知，是“观众对更多元化电影的需求（a demand for more diverse films）”直接推动了手机 filmmaking的“蓬勃发展（a boom）”。故选A项。 【30题详解】推理判断题。第四段提到多位知名导演开始使用智能手机进行电影拍摄，其中包括Steven Soderbergh使用iPhone拍摄的电影Unsane。这表明，这些导演使用智能手机拍摄电影是为了尝试和探索这种新技术的可能性。Sir Ian McKellen和Kristen Stewart等一线演员也曾出演过用手机拍摄的电影。由此可知，该段提及Steven Soderbergh是为了说明智能手机制作电影很受欢迎。故选D项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，当被问会不会回到传统胶片拍摄（return to film），他说那会像“用铅笔写剧本”，表明他认为传统方法过时且效率低下，与现代数字电影制作方法的便利性形成了对比，由此可知，他认为数字电影制作提供了一种更加简单和易于访问的电影创作方式。故选A项。 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Shintaro Sato团队针对“观看体育赛事与幸福感之间的关系”开展的三项研究。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“However, existing studies on the relationship between watching sports and well-being offer only limited evidence.”和第二段第一句话可知，现有关于体育观赛与幸福感关系的研究仅提供了有限证据，所以Shintaro Sato团队开展研究以探究观看体育比赛的好处。故正确答案为C项。 【33题详解】推理判断题。第一项研究基于20,000名日本居民的数据，发现经常观看体育比赛与幸福感提高存在显著关联；第二项研究通过208名参与者的在线调查发现观看广受欢迎的体育赛事（如棒球）对提升幸福感的效果更为显著。由此可见，两项研究均证明了观看体育赛事对个体幸福感的积极影响。故正确答案为C项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。第三项研究通过追踪14名日本参与者的脑部活动，发现观看体育赛事激活了与幸福感和愉悦感相关的大脑回路，并且长期观看体育赛事者在这些回路中的灰质体积更大，暗示可能会对脑部结构产生长期影响。故正确答案为D项。 【35题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句可知，现有研究主要关注体育迷，而该研究扩展了研究对象，将普通人群纳入考虑，这一点被认为是本研究的重要进展。故正确答案为B项。 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读小说能够转变视角、提供远距离的审视角度、反映现实生活中的变化，还有助于克服焦虑。 【36题详解】根据上文“Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea.(对许多人来说，阅读非小说类书籍可以帮助他们树立决心，建立日常生活习惯。这种改善的生活方式会减少他们的焦虑。另一方面，当谈到小说时，人们往往拒绝接受这个想法。)”提到人们对非小说类书籍能帮助建立决心和规律生活以及减少焦虑的认可，而对小说类书籍常持否定态度，空处应是转折引出小说类书籍也有好处，G选项“In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety.(事实上，阅读小说也可以帮助你克服焦虑。)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。“in (actual) fact”意为“（用以强调，尤其与刚提到的事情相反）事实上，实际上”。故选G。 【37题详解】前文“The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. (阅读小说的一个重要好处是它能帮助你改变角度。当你阅读一本自助书籍时，你通常会阅读一系列的课程，包括例子和实用的建议。)”提到读自助类书籍时，读者会从中汲取一系列包含例子和实用建议的经验方法，这是一种单向的知识传递方式，D选项“Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly.(因此，大多数知识是单方面传递的。)”与前文衔接紧密，符合逻辑。故选D。 【38题详解】根据后文“When we’re dealing with daily stress factors, we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. (当我们处理日常压力因素时，我们觉得世界要压垮我们了。小说中的人物面临挑战，但我们作为读者与他们的经历是分开的。因此，我们对故事中发生的事情有一个鸟瞰视角。)”可知，此段主要讲阅读小说能让我们从一定距离看世界；F选项“Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance.(小说给了我们一个难得的机会从远处看整个世界。)”符合段落主旨，引领下文。故选F。 【39题详解】前文“Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary.(小说故事帮助我们理解故事和现实生活中变化的力量。通过故事，你开始了一段旅程，见证了一个虚构世界的进步。这些变化都是虚构的。)”指出小说中的变化是虚构的；空后“The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes.

Text 10 Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter. He was born in Zundert, Netherlands in 1853. Growing up, van Gogh was very poor. In fact, he had to leave school to find work when he was only 15. His job was selling art from aLondon gallery. He didn't start making his own paintings until 1880. Van Gogh painted often through the last decade of his life, but his struggles with mental illness made it difficult for him to work. In 1888, he cut off his own ear. Afew months later, he decided to move into a psychiatric hospital so that he could recover. While living there, he made the iconic painting The Starry Night. Van Gogh's work is very well-known today, but almost nobody knew his name when he was alive. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 常德外国语学校2026上学期高一期中考试 ( 装订线内不要答题、装订线外不要写姓名等，违者试卷作0分处理 年级 班级 考室 姓名 )英语试卷 时量：120 分钟 满分：120分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Here are some you might like to try. The Big Miss The author was Tiger Woods’ coach for six years, and the book is a behind-the-scenes look into the famous golfer’s private life. One reader wrote on Amazon.com, “I’m a big Tiger fan, and I read this in one sitting. Brilliant!” The Hunger Games The story is set in a post-apocalyptic (世界末日后的) future. Most people are very poor. Every year, there’s a game show (called “The Hunger Games”) in which 18 teenagers are sent into the wild to battle it out until only one survives. The book has just been made into a highly successful Hollywood movie. Imagine How Creativity Works This is a very fun and very convincing book about the creative parts of our brain. It looks at people such as Bob Dylan, and the man who invented post-it notes and asks why they were so creatively successful. The author writes, “Once we know how creativity works, we can make it work for us.” The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad A few years ago, real-life American couple Barry and Debbie decided to escape the race and live in Venice for a year. This is the story of their experiences there, and it’s full of funny anecdotes (奇闻轶事) about their struggle to adapt to the Venetian lifestyle. A fellow author said, “For anyone thinking of an overseas adventure, The Venice Experiment is a laugh-out-loud read.” 21. What is special about The Hunger Games? A. It tells adventures. B. It hits the screen. C. It is based on real stories. D. It is the most popular book. 22. Which of the following books is about living abroad? A. The Big Miss. B. The Hunger Games. C. Imagine How Creativity Works. D. The Venice Experiment. 23. In which column of a magazine can we probably read this text? A. Science B. Travel C. Book Review D. Sports. B Whenever it comes to holidays, my mother makes fun of my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers”. She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah (大烛台) and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “hot and cold” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives. Diwali is observed on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/ November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just place a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement. Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me! 24. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali? A. She lives in a rich family. B. She lives in two different countries. C. Her parents like observing their different cultures. D. Her parents like spending money buying gifts for her. 25. What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A kind of Hanukkah game. B. A riddle written on lights. C. A sort of Hanukkah gift. D. A can of festival drink. 26. What do Hanukkah and Diwali have in common? A. They share the same history and culture. B. They are both related to the origin of lights. C. They get the families to do their prayers. D. They are celebrated by both Jews and Indians. 27. What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. C Filmmaking usually brings to mind a video camera, sound equipment and a sky-high budget. But what if you could make a movie with just the device in your pocket? Filmmakers are reimagining what it takes to make a movie and inspiring those with little more than a smartphone. The London International Smartphone Film Festival, known as SMART, was launched in 2021 to celebrate the creativity and diversity of smartphone films. “Anyone can now make an amazing film,” British producer Adam Gee, who set up the festival with director Victoria Mapplebeck, told the BBC. “All you need is the vision and the talent. It is no longer a question of being able to afford the right equipment or securing a big distribution deal.” In 2019, Gee and Mapplebeck won a BAFTA award, beating the bigger budgeted competition with their short film, Missed Call. Since then, a demand for more diverse films has resulted in a boom in smartphone filmmaking. “We set up the festival around smartphone films because it enables greater access and diversity, as well as innovation (创新),” Gee said. “Our competition categories cover all types, both scripted and unscripted. And there are no suggestions now about quality.” However, filming with a smartphone does not only belong to the world of independent cinema. High-profile American director Steven Soderbergh experimented with the form in his first iPhone-shot movie from 2018, Unsane. A-list actors such as Sir Ian McKellen and Kristen Stewart have also starred in films shot with phones. The future seems bright for filmmaking with digital devices. Its ease of use and accessibility will surely draw in more aspiring filmmakers. Soderbergh is reportedly such a fan of filming on digital cameras. When asked if he’d return to film, he said it would be like “writing scripts in pencil”. 28. What is the main purpose of the SMART festival? A. To advertise high-budget films. B. To exhibit the equipment of filmmakers. C. To offer financial assistance to filmmakers. D. To celebrate the innovation of smartphone films. 29. What has led to the fast development of smartphone filmmaking? A. People’s need for more different kinds of films. B. The success of the film Missed Call. C. The high cost of professional filming equipment. D. The support from big production companies. 30. Why does the author mention Steven Soderbergh in paragraph 4? A. To stress the difficulty of filming. B. To state the bright future of filming. C. To explain the process of smartphone filmmaking. D. To show the popularity of smartphone filmmaking. 31. What does Steven Soderbergh mean by saying “writing scripts in pencil”? A. Digital cameras offer modern convenience. B. Using pencils is efficient for writing scripts. C. Writing scripts is a fundamental skill for directors. D. Digital filmmaking has become a common art form. D For many individuals, sports viewing has long served as a source of enjoyment and relaxation. It offers a sense of community and belonging among audiences, which not only makes individuals feel good but also benefits society by improving health. However, existing studies on the relationship between watching sports and well-being offer only limited evidence. Therefore, a team of researchers led by Shintaro Sato, an associate professor from the Faculty of Sport Sciences, conducted an important study. They conducted three different studies to investigate the relationship between sports viewing and overall well-being in the general population. In the first study, the researchers analyzed large-scale, publicly available data on the influence of watching sports on 20,000 Japanese residents. The results confirmed the ongoing pattern of improved well-being associated with regular sports viewing. The second study involved an online survey with 208 participants. The experiment exposed them to various sports videos, assessing their well-being both before and after viewing. The findings showed that widely popular sports, like baseball, had a more significant impact on increasing well-being compared to less popular sports. However, the most important aspect of this research appeared in the third study. Here, the team tracked the brain activity of fourteen strong Japanese participants while they watched sports clips. The results suggested that sports viewing activated the brain’s reward circuits (回路) and indicated feelings of happiness or pleasure. Additionally, a noteworthy finding surfaced in the structural image analysis. The study revealed that individuals who reported watching sports more frequently exhibited greater gray matter (灰质) volume in regions associated with reward circuits, suggesting that regular sports viewing may gradually lead to changes in brain structure. “By bringing about structural changes in the brain’s reward system over time, sports viewing provides long-term benefits for individuals. Regularly watching sports, particularly popular ones, can serve as an effective way to improve well-being,” comments Prof. Sato. The study makes great contributions to sports management research. Existing research has primarily focused on sports fans; however, this study considers a broader general population. This research can make a significant contribution to sports management practices and policymaking in the context of public health. 32. Why did Sato’s team conduct their research? A. To assess athletes’ mental well-being. B. To improve community sports facilities. C. To study the benefits of sports watching. D. To increase the viewing of less popular sports. 33. What does the first and the second study manage to prove? A. Popular sports increase brain activity. B.Sports viewing reduces stress levels. C. Watching sports improves well-being. D. Less popular sports are more attractive. 34. What can be inferred about the influence of sports viewing on the brain? A. It only activates negative emotions. B. It mainly affects memory functions. C.It increases gray matter volume in all brain regions. D.It may gradually bring about structural changes in the brain.. 35. What progress has the latest research achieved according to the last paragraph? A. Developing new public health policies. B. Expanding the focus beyond sports fans. C. Identifying effective ways to promote brain health. D. Selecting better strategies to manage sports events. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。 Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea. 36 The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. 37 Fiction, in contrast, gives you access to the struggles, and ideas of various characters. The exchange of information is multi-sided. When considering different angles on an event, you’ll realize you can’t control everything. 38 When we’re dealing with daily stress factors we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. And this view is what we need to reduce our anxiety in the real world. Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary. 39 The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many challenges, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s change in The Alchemist reflects life. 40 But after many attempts, we realize that our heart wasn’t in it. A. We want something and we spend years chasing it. B. But they often reflect events that could happen in real life. C. We also experience many failures when pursuing our dreams. D. Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly. E. Reading nonfiction is a well-established weapon against anxiety. F. Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance. G. In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Mother’s Day Surprise The twins, Jenna and Jeff, were excited as Mother’s Day approached.

Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy. On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich. Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street. Anyway she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking. She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house. Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson. 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。 Para.1:When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2:Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful!
