Four Best Travel Movies
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Directed by Wes Anderson and starring a long list of big name actors (Jeff Goldblum, William Dafoe, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Bill Murray, and Edward Norton, just to name a few), The Grand Budapest Hotel takes place inside a famous European hotel. The town of Görlitz in Saxony, Germany was the main filming location for this film.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Walter Mitty (played by Ben Stiller) works at a magazine and his uneventful days are filled with daydreams of adventure. When a film negative (底片) goes missing, Walter has to travel to far-away locations to look for the negative. His journey takes him to Greenland, Iceland, and Afghanistan. This is a life-changing experience for Walter, who ends up becoming a more confident person and starting real-life adventures.
Midnight in Paris
Gil (played by Owen Wilson) is visiting Paris with his future wife (played by Rachel McAdams) and her parents. He is considering giving up his job as a film writer in order to put more time into writing his novel, when, at midnight, he is transported into Paris in the 1920’s. He meets Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. This reshapes what he thinks about his marriage and his future.
Touching the Void
Touching the Void is a real-life adventure story that takes place in the mountains of Peru. Joe Simpson and Simon Yates are the first people to successfully climb Siula Grande. During their descent (下山), disaster strikes. Simpson falls a short distance, breaking his leg. This is an amazing story of survival and the dangers that go with mountaineering.

Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness.
Last week, excitement filled the air as students at CSHS picked up paintbrushes and turned one of the trees bright blue. Laughter mixed with serious conversations as they worked side by side. When a few drops of paint accidentally landed on shoes or clothes, no one minded — it only made the memory more special.
Jess Hazeldine, 17, explained that painting the tree blue was more than just an activity. To her, it was a promise from students to face the issue (问题) of mental health. “It shows we, as students, are doing something about it,” she said. “It means a lot because we are taking an active role in fighting mental health problems among young people.” She added that painting the tree blue was also a way of showing that the students understood how serious the issue was, and that they were ready to work together as a school to address it.
Acting junior school principal Lisa Campbell also shared her thoughts. She said the school would now be listed on the Blue Tree Project’s website, alongside many other schools and organizations across the country. “It shows that we are part of a larger community in this cause,” she added.
Parent board member Genevieve McSporran agreed. She believed the blue tree would remain a lasting reminder. “It’s more than just one day of awareness — it will always be there,” she explained. She pointed out that the tree, visible to anyone passing by, helped build a stronger connection with the wider community.
4. What is the aim of the Blue Tree Project?
A. To raise awareness of mental health.
B. To encourage students to form a habit.
C. To prepare for a community festival.
D. To recognize the weakness of students.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Attending school. B. Painting the tree blue.
C. Drawing a picture. D. Following a schedule.
6. What is Genevieve’s attitude toward the activity?
A. Doubtful. B. Worried.
C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
7. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A student’s book. B. A school website.
C. A research paper. D. A travel magazine.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Parent board member Genevieve McSporran agreed. She believed the blue tree would remain a lasting reminder. “It’s more than just one day of awareness — it will always be there,” she explained.(家长董事会成员Genevieve McSporran表示赞同。她认为这棵蓝树将是一个持久的提醒。“这不仅仅是一天的倡导——它将永远存在,”她解释道。)”可知,Genevieve认为这棵蓝树将是一个持久的提醒,说明她对这次活动是支持的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness.(丘奇兰兹高中(CSHS)已加入“蓝树项目”。这是一项全国性运动,既鼓励人们坦诚面对自身困境,也致力于消除心理健康疾病带来的羞耻感。)”可知,文章主要报道了丘奇兰兹高中参与蓝树项目的情况,这很可能是从学校网站获取的信息。故选B。

For many teens (青少年), Saturday mornings are a time to sleep in. After a busy week of waking up early, weekends offer a chance to catch up on rest. A new study finds that sleeping in on weekends — as long as it’s not for more than two additional hours — may help teens feel less anxious (焦虑的).
Sleep is very important for everyone, especially teens, because it helps the brain and body work properly. However, 75% of American teens do not get the recommended (推荐) 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. School, homework, and other activities require early wake-ups, and teens usually find it difficult to fall asleep before 11 pm.
In the past, research has suggested that sleeping too much on weekends could cause health problems. But no one had looked closely at how weekend sleep affects anxiety.
Sojeong Kim, a researcher from the University of Oregon, decided to study this. She focused on teens aged 12 to 15, as this is when sleep problems often start. The study used data from around 1,900 teens who had filled out questionnaires about their feelings of anxiety.
The results showed that teens who slept in on weekends had lower anxiety, but only if they slept for less than two additional hours. Teens who didn’t sleep in-or lost sleep on the weekend-reported higher anxiety levels. Those who slept in more than two additional hours had the most anxiety of all.
Kim believes that sleeping too much on weekends can cause “social jet lag”, just like the tiredness people feel when they travel across time zones. For now, she wants teens to know there can be benefits to sleeping in on the weekend. “Getting a little more sleep on weekends might help you feel less anxious,” she says. “But sleeping too much may make things worse.”
12. What does the author want to point out in paragraph 2?
A. It’s hard for teens to get enough sleep.
B. Too much homework is harmful to kids.
C. Most teens sleep for over eight hours.
D. Adults enjoy sleeping late on workdays.
13. What were the teens in the study asked to do?
A. Finish a test paper. B. Answer some questions.
C. Write a diary entry. D. Go to bed early every day.
14. What did the study show about teens sleeping in over two additional hours on weekends?
A. They avoided “social jet lag”. B. They felt calm in the classroom.
C. They experienced higher anxiety. D. They reported a look of satisfaction.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. How Early Wake-ups Affect Teens B. The Best Time for Teens to Sleep
C. How Teens End Struggles at School D. Teens’ Catch-up Sleep on Weekends
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年周末补觉的现象,研究发现周末适当补觉可能有助于减轻焦虑,但过度补觉可能会加剧焦虑。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, 75% of American teens do not get the recommended (推荐) 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. School, homework, and other activities require early wake-ups, and teens usually find it difficult to fall asleep before 11 pm.(然而,75%的美国青少年每晚没有得到推荐的8到10小时的睡眠。学校、家庭作业和其他活动需要早起,青少年通常发现晚上11点前很难入睡)”可知,本段主要指出青少年很难得到足够的睡眠。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The study used data from around 1,900 teens who had filled out questionnaires about their feelings of anxiety.(这项研究使用了大约1900名青少年的数据,他们填写了关于自己焦虑感的问卷)”可知,研究中的青少年被要求填写关于焦虑感的问卷,即回答一些问题。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Those who slept in more than two additional hours had the most anxiety of all.(那些周末多睡两个多小时的人焦虑感最强)”可知,周末多睡两个多小时的青少年经历了更高的焦虑。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“A new study finds that sleeping in on weekends — as long as it’s not for more than two additional hours — may help teens feel less anxious (焦虑的).(一项新的研究发现,周末适当补觉——只要不超过两个小时——可能有助于减轻青少年的焦虑感)”可知,本文主要介绍了青少年周末补觉的现象,研究发现周末适当补觉可能有助于减轻焦虑,但过度补觉可能会加剧焦虑,故D项“Teens’ Catch-up Sleep on Weekends (青少年周末补觉)”概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources. Many schools there cannot afford full-time teachers, so volunteers step in to help. ____16____ Their efforts (努力) make a significant difference in students’ lives and open doors to better opportunities for them.
One example is Anthony Lewis, a volunteer teacher in a small village in Sri Lanka. After finishing his studies, Lewis moved to the village because he wanted to help local children. ____17____ He used materials from nature for science lessons and told stories to improve students’ language skills. By adapting to the situation, Lewis created a fun and interesting learning environment.
Volunteer teachers like Lewis not only focus on academic (学业的) subjects but also help build a sense of community. ____18____ They share their own experiences and dreams to encourage their students to aim higher in life and pursue (追逐) opportunities like higher education or careers they might have thought were out of reach. ____19____ Many teachers work without pay, depending on donations, or live in difficult conditions. The lack of professional development or formal support can also make it harder for them to succeed in the long term. ____20____ They provide quality education to children who may not otherwise have the chance to learn. Their hard work shows the power of community-driven education and how their efforts can make a marked impact on students’ lives.
A. However, teaching as a volunteer is not easy.
B. So he became very popular among the villagers.
C. They often become role models for their students.
D. They want to start a new lifestyle in the neighborhood.
E. These teachers bring skills, hard work, and love for their students.
F. Despite these challenges, the work of volunteer teachers is invaluable.
G. The school had few resources, but Lewis found creative ways to teach.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过Anthony Lewis在斯里兰卡支教的故事展现志愿教师扎根贫困地区、无私奉献为学生点亮教育之光。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources. Many schools there cannot afford full-time teachers, so volunteers step in to help.(志愿教师在资源匮乏的地区提供教育方面发挥着重要作用。那里许多学校无法聘请全职教师,所以志愿者们便挺身而出提供帮助)”及空后“Their efforts (努力) make a significant difference in students’ lives and open doors to better opportunities for them.(他们的努力对学生们的生活产生了重大影响,并为他们打开了通往更美好机遇的大门)”可知,志愿教师发挥重要作用且有重大影响,E项“这些教师具备专业技能、勤奋工作态度以及对学生的关爱之情”概括了志愿教师带来的“正能量”,在语义上既承接上句,又能与下文保持意义的连贯。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据空后“He used materials from nature for science lessons and told stories to improve students’ language skills. By adapting to the situation, Lewis created a fun and interesting learning environment.(他利用自然界中的材料开展科学课程,并通过讲故事来提高学生的语言能力。通过灵活应对各种情况,刘易斯营造出了一个有趣且生动的学习环境)”可知,刘易斯营造生动有趣的学习环境,G项“这所学校资源匮乏,但刘易斯却找到了富有创意的教学方法”先交代学校资源匮乏,再引出创意教学,与后文形成明显顺承关系。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据空前“Volunteer teachers like Lewis not only focus on academic (学业的) subjects but also help build a sense of community.(像刘易斯这样的志愿者教师不仅注重学术课程的教学,还致力于培养学生的社区意识)”及空后“They share their own experiences and dreams to encourage their students to aim higher in life and pursue (追逐) opportunities like higher education or careers they might have thought were out of reach.(他们分享自己的经历和梦想,以此激励学生在人生道路上追求更高的目标,并去争取诸如高等教育或他们原本认为遥不可及的职业等机会)”可知,此处需补充说明志愿教师在学生群体中扮演的角色,C项“他们往往会成为学生们的榜样”恰好起到这一承接作用。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据空后“Many teachers work without pay, depending on donations, or live in difficult conditions. The lack of professional development or formal support can also make it harder for them to succeed in the long term.(许多教师无偿工作,依靠捐款维持生计,或者生活条件艰苦。缺乏专业培训或正式支持也会使他们难以长期取得成功)”可知,这两句话都在说明志愿教师面临的困难。A项“但是,作为志愿者进行教学并非易事”为转折总起句,引出下文的论述。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Many teachers work without pay, depending on donations, or live in difficult conditions. The lack of professional development or formal support can also make it harder for them to succeed in the long term.(许多教师无偿工作,依靠捐款维持生计,或者生活条件艰苦。缺乏专业培训或正式支持也会使他们难以长期取得成功)”及空后“They provide quality education to children who may not otherwise have the chance to learn.(他们为那些原本没有机会接受教育的孩子提供了优质的教育)”可知,此处既要呼应困难,又要高度评价志愿者工作,F项“尽管存在这些挑战,但志愿者教师的工作是极其宝贵的”正好符合这一语境。故选F。

【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了舞蹈对作者的深远影响,包括帮助内向的自己建立自信、表达情绪缓解压力,以及改善身体健康,舞蹈已从爱好成为作者的生活方式。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我跳舞,是因为我喜欢它能把一个内向的人,变成一个自豪地展现自我的人。空处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词someone,指人,因此空格处用关系代词who,故填who。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在人生一段充满挑战的时光后,我借助舞蹈的治愈力量疗愈了自己。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词time,challenge的形容词是challenging,意为“充满挑战的”。故填challenging。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:舞蹈帮我建立了自信。空处用名词作宾语,confident的名词是confidence,是不可数名词,意为“信心”。故填confidence。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:我以前太害羞,不敢在别人面前说话,但舞蹈让我懂得了接纳自己独特特质、为真实的自己感到自豪的价值。take pride in是固定短语,意为“为……感到自豪”,因此空格处是介词in。故填in。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,舞蹈对我来说一直是表达情感的实用工具。空处用形容词作定语,修饰名词tool,use的形容词是useful,意为“有用的”。故填useful。

【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:我决定稍作休息,播放了自己最爱的歌。decide to do是固定短语,意为“决定做某事”,因此空格处是不定式to take作宾语。故填to take。
【44题详解】
考查比较级。句意:当我开始舞动时,感觉好多了。空处需填形容词作表语,a lot修饰形容词比较级。故填better。

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。
David always took a window seat on the school bus. The wind felt cool on his face as he thought about that day’s soccer game. His teammates said he played well. One even said that he would become a famous player one day. That was David’s dream — to play for his country and make his mother proud.
He was deep in thought when Guillermo, David’s friend and fan at school, sat next to him. Guillermo often watched his hero David play soccer. He admired David because David was popular, good at soccer, and had nice shoes. Guillermo felt shy about his own old shoes. They were dirty and had holes. Each time he sat next to David, he tried to hide his shoes under the seat and David didn’t notice it.
Another day on the bus, David happily told Guillermo that he had saved enough money for new shoes and planned to buy them as soon as he got off the bus. At this moment, the bus suddenly hit something on the road. One of Guillermo’s shoes slipped out (滑出) from under the seat. Everyone could see how old and broken it was. Guillermo was so embarrassed (尴尬的) that he covered his face with his hands. David felt sorry for him. They didn’t talk for the rest of the ride. But when they got off, David asked Guillermo to go to the shoe store together.
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。
Though Guillermo felt surprised at David’s invitation, he followed David to the shoe store.

As David went to pay for Guillermo’s shoes, the shopkeeper refused and instead showed him his favourite shoes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Though Guillermo felt surprised at David’s invitation, he followed David to the shoe store. There, the shopkeeper brought out the orange soccer shoes David dreamed to buy. But David pointed to another pair and said, “A smaller size, please. They’re for my friend.” Guillermo’s face turned red. He tried to speak, but David stopped him. “You always say I’m your hero. Today, let me be one.” The shopkeeper helped Guillermo try on the new shoes. They fit perfectly.
As David went to pay for Guillermo’s shoes, the shopkeeper refused and instead showed him his favourite shoes. “These are for you,” he said. “A true hero deserves a reward.” The two boys were both surprised and filled with gratitude at the shopkeeper’s words. Touched deeply, David realized that his mother would be prouder of this day’s act of kindness than any soccer goal. David had not only gained a new pair of shoes but also the satisfaction of making a real difference.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了热爱足球的David在目睹朋友Guillermo因破旧鞋子而尴尬后,放弃为自己购买新球鞋的机会,主动为朋友购买新鞋,最终获得意外回报的温暖故事。

Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness.
Last week, excitement filled the air as students at CSHS picked up paintbrushes and turned one of the trees bright blue. Laughter mixed with serious conversations as they worked side by side. When a few drops of paint accidentally landed on shoes or clothes, no one minded — it only made the memory more special.
Jess Hazeldine, 17, explained that painting the tree blue was more than just an activity. To her, it was a promise from students to face the issue (问题) of mental health. “It shows we, as students, are doing something about it,” she said. “It means a lot because we are taking an active role in fighting mental health problems among young people.” She added that painting the tree blue was also a way of showing that the students understood how serious the issue was, and that they were ready to work together as a school to address it.
Acting junior school principal Lisa Campbell also shared her thoughts. She said the school would now be listed on the Blue Tree Project’s website, alongside many other schools and organizations across the country. “It shows that we are part of a larger community in this cause,” she added.
Parent board member Genevieve McSporran agreed. She believed the blue tree would remain a lasting reminder. “It’s more than just one day of awareness — it will always be there,” she explained. She pointed out that the tree, visible to anyone passing by, helped build a stronger connection with the wider community.
4. What is the aim of the Blue Tree Project?
A. To raise awareness of mental health.
B. To encourage students to form a habit.
C. To prepare for a community festival.
D. To recognize the weakness of students.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Attending school. B. Painting the tree blue.
C. Drawing a picture. D. Following a schedule.
6. What is Genevieve’s attitude toward the activity?
A. Doubtful. B. Worried.
C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
7. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A student’s book. B. A school website.
C. A research paper. D. A travel magazine.

Learn English in Seven: Use the Power of Seven to Improve Your English is a useful guide for anyone who wants to improve their English skills in a simple and affordable way. Written by Josef Essberger, an experienced English teacher, this book presents a unique method of learning by breaking down the process into seven easy steps. Each step focuses on a different area of language learning, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced learners.
The seven key areas covered in the book are words, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, writing, and pronunciation. The author does not just focus on theoretical (理论的) knowledge, but also offers practical advice and real-life examples to help readers apply what they learn. For example, instead of merely memorizing English words, the book shows how to use new words in everyday conversations. This makes learning more enjoyable and useful in daily life.
One of the advantages of this book is its clear and organized structure (结构). Each part explores one of the seven areas, and it features easy-to-understand explanations and exercises. These exercises allow readers to practice and remember what they have learned. The book also encourages readers to set achievable goals, which can keep them focused throughout their learning journey.
Another important feature of Learn English in Seven is its emphasis (强调) on self-study. Josef provides tips on how to track progress, manage time, and develop a good habit that works for learners. This is perfect for high school students who want to study independently and improve their English outside the classroom.
Overall, Learn English in Seven is a valuable resource for students who want to become more confident in their English skills. Whether you are preparing for exams or simply want to communicate more fluently, this book can help you reach your language goals.

9. What does Josef probably suggest about new words?

For many teens (青少年), Saturday mornings are a time to sleep in. After a busy week of waking up early, weekends offer a chance to catch up on rest. A new study finds that sleeping in on weekends — as long as it’s not for more than two additional hours — may help teens feel less anxious (焦虑的).
Sleep is very important for everyone, especially teens, because it helps the brain and body work properly. However, 75% of American teens do not get the recommended (推荐) 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. School, homework, and other activities require early wake-ups, and teens usually find it difficult to fall asleep before 11 pm.
In the past, research has suggested that sleeping too much on weekends could cause health problems. But no one had looked closely at how weekend sleep affects anxiety.
Sojeong Kim, a researcher from the University of Oregon, decided to study this. She focused on teens aged 12 to 15, as this is when sleep problems often start. The study used data from around 1,900 teens who had filled out questionnaires about their feelings of anxiety.
The results showed that teens who slept in on weekends had lower anxiety, but only if they slept for less than two additional hours. Teens who didn’t sleep in-or lost sleep on the weekend-reported higher anxiety levels. Those who slept in more than two additional hours had the most anxiety of all.
Kim believes that sleeping too much on weekends can cause “social jet lag”, just like the tiredness people feel when they travel across time zones. For now, she wants teens to know there can be benefits to sleeping in on the weekend. “Getting a little more sleep on weekends might help you feel less anxious,” she says. “But sleeping too much may make things worse.”
12. What does the author want to point out in paragraph 2?
A. It’s hard for teens to get enough sleep.
B. Too much homework is harmful to kids.
C. Most teens sleep for over eight hours.
D. Adults enjoy sleeping late on workdays.
13. What were the teens in the study asked to do?
A. Finish a test paper. B. Answer some questions.
C. Write a diary entry. D. Go to bed early every day.
14. What did the study show about teens sleeping in over two additional hours on weekends?
A. They avoided “social jet lag”. B. They felt calm in the classroom.
C. They experienced higher anxiety. D. They reported a look of satisfaction.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. How Early Wake-ups Affect Teens B. The Best Time for Teens to Sleep
C. How Teens End Struggles at School D. Teens’ Catch-up Sleep on Weekends
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。
Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources. Many schools there cannot afford full-time teachers, so volunteers step in to help. ____16____ Their efforts (努力) make a significant difference in students’ lives and open doors to better opportunities for them.
One example is Anthony Lewis, a volunteer teacher in a small village in Sri Lanka. After finishing his studies, Lewis moved to the village because he wanted to help local children. ____17____ He used materials from nature for science lessons and told stories to improve students’ language skills. By adapting to the situation, Lewis created a fun and interesting learning environment.
Volunteer teachers like Lewis not only focus on academic (学业的) subjects but also help build a sense of community. ____18____ They share their own experiences and dreams to encourage their students to aim higher in life and pursue (追逐) opportunities like higher education or careers they might have thought were out of reach. ____19____ Many teachers work without pay, depending on donations, or live in difficult conditions. The lack of professional development or formal support can also make it harder for them to succeed in the long term. ____20____ They provide quality education to children who may not otherwise have the chance to learn.

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。
David always took a window seat on the school bus. The wind felt cool on his face as he thought about that day’s soccer game. His teammates said he played well. One even said that he would become a famous player one day. That was David’s dream — to play for his country and make his mother proud.
He was deep in thought when Guillermo, David’s friend and fan at school, sat next to him. Guillermo often watched his hero David play soccer. He admired David because David was popular, good at soccer, and had nice shoes. Guillermo felt shy about his own old shoes. They were dirty and had holes. Each time he sat next to David, he tried to hide his shoes under the seat and David didn’t notice it.
Another day on the bus, David happily told Guillermo that he had saved enough money for new shoes and planned to buy them as soon as he got off the bus. At this moment, the bus suddenly hit something on the road. One of Guillermo’s shoes slipped out (滑出) from under the seat. Everyone could see how old and broken it was. Guillermo was so embarrassed (尴尬的) that he covered his face with his hands. David felt sorry for him. They didn’t talk for the rest of the ride. But when they got off, David asked Guillermo to go to the shoe store together.
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。
Though Guillermo felt surprised at David’s invitation, he followed David to the shoe store.

As David went to pay for Guillermo’s shoes, the shopkeeper refused and instead showed him his favourite shoes.
