In many cities around the world, this technology is used to deal with water shortage (缺少). Now it’s also popular in some communities in Nanjing. The rainwater harvesting system is simple. When it rains, the rainwater falls on the roof and flows into a special 11 . Then it goes through a filter (过滤器) to remove dirt and dust. After that, the clean water is stored in a big tank. People can use it to water plants, clean cars or even wash clothes after simple treatment. This system has many good points. First, it helps 12 water resources (资源). Instead of using tap water for non-drinking purposes, people can use collected rainwater. Second, it reduces the risk of flooding in rainy seasons. Third, it’s good for the environment. Using rainwater means less groundwater is taken out, which 13 the balance of nature. Mr. Li, who lives in a community with this system, said, “We used to worry about water shortage in summer. Now with the rainwater tank, we have enough water for daily use. And the water bill has 14 a lot.” However, setting up the system needs some money at first. But most people think it’s worth it. “It’s a long-term investment (投资) for our planet,” said a community worker. “We hope more communities will 15 this technology in the future.” For most families, using the collected rainwater is 16 . They just need to turn on a special tap to get the water. The water is clean enough for daily non-drinking use, because it has gone through a strict filtering process before being stored, which ensures it meets basic safety standards for 17 use. Some residents even use it to clean the 18 around their houses, making the community more beautiful. This system is not only 19 for saving water but also for building a sense of community. Neighbors often share tips on how to use the rainwater better. When the tank is full, the system will automatically stop collecting rainwater to avoid overflow, which is a 20 design to prevent waste. The residents in the community are very 21 with this system and often recommend it to friends in other areas. By using rainwater harvesting technology, we can not only 22 water resources but also protect our environment. It’s a simple but effective way to go green. 11．A．pipe B．bowl C．basket D．box 12．A．waste B．save C．sell D．buy 13．A．keeps B．breaks C．destroys D．changes 14．A．risen B．fallen C．increased D．doubled 15．A．give up B．look for C．put off D．take up 16．A．easy B．difficult C．interesting D．boring 17．A．daily B．medical C．industrial D．agricultural 18．A．sky B．ground C．river D．lake 19．A．bad B．harmful C．helpful D．careful 20．A．clever B．lazy C．careless D．silly 21．A．sad B．bored C．angry D．satisfied 22．A．save B．pollute C．create D．waste 【答案】 11．A 12．B 13．A 14．B 15．D 16．A 17．A 18．B 19．C 20．A 21．D 22．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了雨水收集系统的优点。 11．句意：下雨时，雨水会落在屋顶上并流入一根特殊的管道中。 雨水从屋顶流下来需要管道运输，bowl碗、basket篮子、box盒子，都不符合雨水收集的流程。 12．句意：首先，它有助于节约水资源。 收集雨水代替自来水做非饮用用途，核心作用是节约水资源，符合文章开头“save water”的主旨。 13．句意：使用雨水意味着抽取的地下水数量会减少，从而维持了自然界的平衡。 少抽取地下水有利于维持自然平衡，keep the balance of nature是固定搭配“保持自然平衡”，符合好处的描述。 14．句意：而且水费也下降了很多。 居民用收集的雨水代替自来水，自来水用量减少，水费自然会下降，fallen表示“下降”，符合逻辑。 15．句意：我们希望未来更多社区会采用这项技术。 社区工作者认可这项技术，希望更多社区推广、采用这项技术，take up在这里表示“开始采用”，符合语境。give up放弃、look for寻找、put off推迟，都不符合文意。 16．句意：对大多数家庭来说，使用收集的雨水很简单。 后文提到“只需要打开特殊水龙头就可以取水”，说明使用方法很简单。easy“容易的”符合句意。 17．句意：这保证了它符合日常使用的基本安全标准。 前文明确提到雨水是供daily non-drinking use（日常非饮用使用），这里指满足日常使用的安全标准。daily“日常的”符合句意。 18．句意：一些居民甚至用它清洁房屋周边的地面，让社区变得更美丽。 居民打扫房屋周围的地面，符合语境，sky天空、river河流、lake湖泊，都不符合普通居民日常清洁的场景。 19．句意：这套系统不仅有助于节约用水，还能培养社区意识。 这个系统不仅利于节水，还能培养社区意识，be helpful for是固定搭配“对……有帮助”，符合文意。 20．句意：当水箱满时，系统会自动停止收集雨水，避免溢出，这是一个防止浪费的巧妙设计。 水箱满了自动停止收集避免浪费，这个设计很巧妙聪明，只有clever符合正向评价。 21．句意：该社区的居民对这套系统非常满意，经常把它推荐给其他地区的朋友。 居民经常把这个系统推荐给朋友，说明对它很满意，be satisfied with是固定搭配“对……满意”。 22．句意：通过使用雨水收集技术，我们不仅可以节约水资源，还能保护环境。 首尾呼应，这项技术的核心作用就是节约水资源、保护环境，save“节约”符合本文主旨。 三、阅读理解（共14小题，每小题 2 分，满分 28 分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A Arguments (争论) between teenagers and parents can be a problem and should be taken seriously. ●A few examples of the arguments Parent: Mike is always making trouble in school.

One useful way to deal with bad feelings is to make a “calm-down jar”. Here’s how to make and use one. What you need: A clean glass jar with a lid, warm water, glitter glue (闪光胶水) or loose glitter (闪光粉) and food colouring (optional) Steps: 1. Fill the jar almost to the top with warm water. 2. Add two spoons of glitter glue or a spoon of loose glitter. 3. Add a drop of food colouring if you like. 4. Close the lid tightly and shake the jar. How to use: When you feel upset, shake the jar and watch the glitter swirl around. Then set it down and watch the glitter slowly fall to the bottom. As you watch, take deep breaths. This helps you calm down and think more clearly. The calm-down jar is like your feelings—when you are upset, everything is mixed up. But if you wait and breathe, things will settle down. 26．What is the main purpose of making a calm-down jar? A．To decorate your room. B．To help you calm down.

As you watch, take deep breaths.”，可知摇晃罐子后要观察闪粉并深呼吸。 29．根据原文最后一段：“The calm‑down jar is like your feelings—when you are upset, everything is mixed up.”，可知作者把旋转的闪粉比作混乱的情绪。 C “Love You, Old Self” — this simple sentence has become a warm thing and a popular phrase among young people in China. It even turns into a warm secret code among young people. Coming from an ordinary life moment, this simple sentence shows much about young people’s attitude towards life today. The story behind it is simple: a video blogger wanted to eat a grapefruit but felt lazy to peel it at first. He finally did it himself and said this sentence to himself like talking to an old friend. It seems simple, but it really connects with how young people feel. They want to learn self-care and build inner order when life is tiring. It makes “loving yourself” become a daily habit. More importantly, the phrase carries a value shift. It is not just words but an active supply (供给) of inner energy, marking young people’s important growth: their romance is moving from expecting others’ love to giving themselves love. They used to wait for care from family or friends, but now they realize self-care is also a kind of romance. Some people may think that focusing on self-care will make young people become closed off. But this is not true at all. A person who knows how to properly care for himself and deal with his emotions can better care for others. Just like a cup full of water can pour water for others, a person with enough inner energy can bring warmth to those around him. In short, the popularity of “Love You, Old Self” is no accident. It reflects young people’s positive pursuit of a better life. This warm phrase reminds us: don’t forget to love ourselves in busy life. Only by taking good care of ourselves can we face life bravely and live meaningfully. 30．Why does the author mention the blogger’s story? A．To show how lazy the video blogger is. B．To explain where the popular phrase comes from. C．To tell readers peeling a grapefruit is a difficult task. D．To advise young people to eat more fruit to keep healthy. 31．What does the “value shift” in Paragraph 3 mainly refer to? A．Young people no longer need love from others. B．Young people care more about family than friends now. C．Young people prefer to stay alone rather than make friends. D．Young people start to value self-care as a kind of romance. 32．What can we learn from the passage? A．Young people should only focus on themselves. B．Loving oneself is the first step to loving others. C．Popular phrases on the internet are always positive. D．We should eat more fruit even when we feel lazy. 33．What is the author’s attitude towards the phrase “Love You, Old Self”? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Critical. D．Worried. 【答案】30．B 31．D 32．B 33．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了网络热梗“爱你，老己”的来源、内涵及其反映的当代年轻人的价值观转变。 【详解】30．第二段“The story behind it is simple: a video blogger wanted to eat a grapefruit but felt lazy to peel it at first. He finally did it himself and said this sentence to himself like talking to an old friend.”说明作者讲述博主的故事是为了解释这个流行语的来源。 31．第三段“marking young people’s important growth: their romance is moving from expecting others’ love to giving themselves love. ... they realize self-care is also a kind of romance.”说明这个价值转变指的是：年轻人的浪漫从期待他人的爱，转变成了给自己爱，他们现在意识到自我关爱本身也是一种浪漫。“value shift”指年轻人开始将自我关怀视为一种浪漫。 32．第四段“A person who knows how to properly care for himself and deal with his emotions can better care for others.”指出懂得好好关爱自己的人，才能更好地关爱他人，说明爱自己是爱他人的第一步。 33．最后一段“It reflects young people’s positive pursuit of a better life. This warm phrase reminds us: don’t forget to love ourselves in busy life.”提到这个短语反映了年轻人对美好生活的积极追求，还提醒人们在忙碌生活中不要忘记爱自己，整体都是正面肯定的表述，因此作者的态度是支持的。 D Recently, a very special event took place in Shanghai. It is the first time in China that a humanoid robot has performed Peking Opera on stage with a live actor. The robot, named “Scholar 01”, shared the stage with Wang Yuchen, a student from Shanghai Theatre Academy who studies Peking Opera. Together, they performed the famous Chinese opera Farewell to My Concubine. The robot wore the same traditional costume as human performers wear when playing the role of Xiang Yu, a historical hero. During the performance, the robot walked around the stage, moved its arms gracefully, and even turned its head and moved its eyes to follow the rhythm of the traditional Chinese music. The audience was amazed by what they saw. Many people thought it was exciting to watch traditional Chinese culture meet modern robotic technology. Some said it was like seeing the past and future come together on one stage. The robot’s movements were precise and helped show the art of Peking Opera in a new way. This special performance taught everyone an important lesson about how technology can help protect and develop traditional arts. With computers, we can record all the movements of Peking Opera and keep them forever. We can even create new movements that would be too difficult for human performers. What’s more, this shows how we might enjoy traditional arts in new ways while still respecting and protecting our cultural heritage in the future. The success of this performance opens doors for more combinations of technology and traditional arts in China. 34．What does the underlined word “precise” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．准确的 B．漂亮的 C．快速的 D．强劲的 35．What can computers help us do with Peking Opera movements? A．Computers can change the music for them. B．Computers can create more traditional designs. C．Computers can make them easier for humans. D．Computers can record them and create new ones. 36．What can we learn from the special performance? A．Peking Opera is too difficult for robots to learn. B．Robots will soon replace human performers. C．Technology can help preserve and promote traditional arts. D．Technology is more important than traditional arts. 【答案】34．A 35．D 36．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了国内首次人形机器人与真人演员同台表演京剧的事件，并阐述了科技如何助力传统艺术的保护与创新发展。 【详解】34．原文第三段提到“The robot’s movements were precise and helped show the art of Peking Opera in a new way.”，结合上下文，机器人的动作能够精准配合京剧表演的节奏，因此“precise”的意思是“准确的”。 35．原文第四段提到“With computers, we can record all the movements of Peking Opera and keep them forever. We can even create new movements that would be too difficult for human performers.”，由此可知电脑可以帮助我们记录京剧动作并创造新的动作。 36．原文第四段提到“This special performance taught everyone an important lesson about how technology can help protect and develop traditional arts.”，由此可知这次表演让我们认识到科技可以帮助保护和推广传统艺术。 四、还原信息 (共 4 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 6 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Thanks to the popular movie, Ne Zha 2, many foreigners now know and love the famous Chinese hero!

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at their desks, they wouldn’t have this experience.” Hobart said. She added that the gardens helped calm the kids and gave them a different viewpoint about soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings (幼苗) , they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We got seeds (种子) and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to go outside, get their hands dirty, and find worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it—that’s important,” Hobart said. Finley, their headmaster, supports teaching city kids about seeds and growing. He aims to “change the culture around food”. He remembered how amazing it was for his students to see “a seed becomes food”. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other form of education,” Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where our food sources come from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, they have a reverence for themselves and respect for the planet. Gardening is not a hobby, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 41．When did gardening begin as part of school curriculum in the United States? 42．Where did the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 43．What can teachers teach in the school garden? 44．Do you think doing gardening is important in your school? Why? (At least two reasons) 【答案】41． In the early 1900s. 42． From local botanical gardens and their communities. 43． How to grow food and flowers, science, social studies and even art. 44． Yes, I do.

In many cities around the world, this technology is used to deal with water shortage (缺少). Now it’s also popular in some communities in Nanjing. The rainwater harvesting system is simple. When it rains, the rainwater falls on the roof and flows into a special 11 . Then it goes through a filter (过滤器) to remove dirt and dust. After that, the clean water is stored in a big tank. People can use it to water plants, clean cars or even wash clothes after simple treatment. This system has many good points. First, it helps 12 water resources (资源). Instead of using tap water for non-drinking purposes, people can use collected rainwater. Second, it reduces the risk of flooding in rainy seasons. Third, it’s good for the environment. Using rainwater means less groundwater is taken out, which 13 the balance of nature. Mr. Li, who lives in a community with this system, said, “We used to worry about water shortage in summer. Now with the rainwater tank, we have enough water for daily use. And the water bill has 14 a lot.” However, setting up the system needs some money at first. But most people think it’s worth it. “It’s a long-term investment (投资) for our planet,” said a community worker. “We hope more communities will 15 this technology in the future.” For most families, using the collected rainwater is 16 . They just need to turn on a special tap to get the water. The water is clean enough for daily non-drinking use, because it has gone through a strict filtering process before being stored, which ensures it meets basic safety standards for 17 use. Some residents even use it to clean the 18 around their houses, making the community more beautiful. This system is not only 19 for saving water but also for building a sense of community. Neighbors often share tips on how to use the rainwater better. When the tank is full, the system will automatically stop collecting rainwater to avoid overflow, which is a 20 design to prevent waste. The residents in the community are very 21 with this system and often recommend it to friends in other areas. By using rainwater harvesting technology, we can not only 22 water resources but also protect our environment. It’s a simple but effective way to go green. 11．A．pipe B．bowl C．basket D．box 12．A．waste B．save C．sell D．buy 13．A．keeps B．breaks C．destroys D．changes 14．A．risen B．fallen C．increased D．doubled 15．A．give up B．look for C．put off D．take up 16．A．easy B．difficult C．interesting D．boring 17．A．daily B．medical C．industrial D．agricultural 18．A．sky B．ground C．river D．lake 19．A．bad B．harmful C．helpful D．careful 20．A．clever B．lazy C．careless D．silly 21．A．sad B．bored C．angry D．satisfied 22．A．save B．pollute C．create D．waste 三、阅读理解（共14小题，每小题 2 分，满分 28 分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A Arguments (争论) between teenagers and parents can be a problem and should be taken seriously. ●A few examples of the arguments Parent: Mike is always making trouble in school. You’d better keep away from him. Ben: You don’t know him as well as I do. Stop trying to tell me who I can make friends with. Parent: Don’t spend so much time playing computer games. You should do something meaningful. Grace: I’ve already finished my homework. I just want to relax, Mum. Parent: You got an F in your physics exam again. I’m unhappy with you. Jack: I did study hard. But it’s just too difficult for me. Some results of a survey About 18% of the kids talk to their parents when they have problems. Over 50% of the kids think their parents don’t understand them. Almost 50% of the parents talk to their children only about school. Some suggestions from experts (专家) Talk with your kids in a friendly way. Encourage kids to share their feelings with you. Take part in different activities together with kids. 23．What does Grace’s mother think of playing computer games? A．Interesting. B．Relaxing. C．Meaningless. D．Exciting. 24．Why did Jack not do well in physics? A．He often plays with Mike. B．He thinks it’s too hard for him. C．He plays computer games too much. D．He’s not interested in it. 25．What can we know from the survey of the passage? A．None of the kids think their parents understand them. B．Most parents talk to their children only about school. C．A few kids talk to their parents when they have problems. D．Most of the parents don’t care about their children's school life. B Everyone feels sad or worried sometimes. One useful way to deal with bad feelings is to make a “calm-down jar”. Here’s how to make and use one. What you need: A clean glass jar with a lid, warm water, glitter glue (闪光胶水) or loose glitter (闪光粉) and food colouring (optional) Steps: 1. Fill the jar almost to the top with warm water. 2. Add two spoons of glitter glue or a spoon of loose glitter. 3. Add a drop of food colouring if you like. 4. Close the lid tightly and shake the jar. How to use: When you feel upset, shake the jar and watch the glitter swirl around. Then set it down and watch the glitter slowly fall to the bottom. As you watch, take deep breaths. This helps you calm down and think more clearly. The calm-down jar is like your feelings—when you are upset, everything is mixed up. But if you wait and breathe, things will settle down. 26．What is the main purpose of making a calm-down jar? A．To decorate your room. B．To help you calm down. C．To store small toys. 27．Which of the following is NOT mentioned to make the jar? A．A small notebook. B．Warm water. C．Glitter glue. 28．What should you do after shaking the jar? A．Shake it again quickly. B．Open the lid and drink the water. C．Watch the glitter and breathe deeply. 29．What does the writer compare the swirling glitter (旋流闪粉) to? A．Happy moments. B．Mixed-up feelings. C．Falling rain. C “Love You, Old Self” — this simple sentence has become a warm thing and a popular phrase among young people in China. It even turns into a warm secret code among young people. Coming from an ordinary life moment, this simple sentence shows much about young people’s attitude towards life today. The story behind it is simple: a video blogger wanted to eat a grapefruit but felt lazy to peel it at first. He finally did it himself and said this sentence to himself like talking to an old friend. It seems simple, but it really connects with how young people feel. They want to learn self-care and build inner order when life is tiring. It makes “loving yourself” become a daily habit. More importantly, the phrase carries a value shift. It is not just words but an active supply (供给) of inner energy, marking young people’s important growth: their romance is moving from expecting others’ love to giving themselves love. They used to wait for care from family or friends, but now they realize self-care is also a kind of romance. Some people may think that focusing on self-care will make young people become closed off. But this is not true at all. A person who knows how to properly care for himself and deal with his emotions can better care for others. Just like a cup full of water can pour water for others, a person with enough inner energy can bring warmth to those around him. In short, the popularity of “Love You, Old Self” is no accident. It reflects young people’s positive pursuit of a better life. This warm phrase reminds us: don’t forget to love ourselves in busy life. Only by taking good care of ourselves can we face life bravely and live meaningfully. 30．Why does the author mention the blogger’s story? A．To show how lazy the video blogger is. B．To explain where the popular phrase comes from. C．To tell readers peeling a grapefruit is a difficult task. D．To advise young people to eat more fruit to keep healthy. 31．What does the “value shift” in Paragraph 3 mainly refer to? A．Young people no longer need love from others. B．Young people care more about family than friends now. C．Young people prefer to stay alone rather than make friends. D．Young people start to value self-care as a kind of romance. 32．What can we learn from the passage? A．Young people should only focus on themselves. B．Loving oneself is the first step to loving others. C．Popular phrases on the internet are always positive. D．We should eat more fruit even when we feel lazy. 33．What is the author’s attitude towards the phrase “Love You, Old Self”? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Critical. D．Worried. D Recently, a very special event took place in Shanghai. It is the first time in China that a humanoid robot has performed Peking Opera on stage with a live actor. The robot, named “Scholar 01”, shared the stage with Wang Yuchen, a student from Shanghai Theatre Academy who studies Peking Opera. Together, they performed the famous Chinese opera Farewell to My Concubine. The robot wore the same traditional costume as human performers wear when playing the role of Xiang Yu, a historical hero. During the performance, the robot walked around the stage, moved its arms gracefully, and even turned its head and moved its eyes to follow the rhythm of the traditional Chinese music. The audience was amazed by what they saw. Many people thought it was exciting to watch traditional Chinese culture meet modern robotic technology. Some said it was like seeing the past and future come together on one stage. The robot’s movements were precise and helped show the art of Peking Opera in a new way. This special performance taught everyone an important lesson about how technology can help protect and develop traditional arts. With computers, we can record all the movements of Peking Opera and keep them forever. We can even create new movements that would be too difficult for human performers. What’s more, this shows how we might enjoy traditional arts in new ways while still respecting and protecting our cultural heritage in the future. The success of this performance opens doors for more combinations of technology and traditional arts in China. 34．What does the underlined word “precise” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．准确的 B．漂亮的 C．快速的 D．强劲的 35．What can computers help us do with Peking Opera movements? A．Computers can change the music for them. B．Computers can create more traditional designs. C．Computers can make them easier for humans. D．Computers can record them and create new ones. 36．What can we learn from the special performance? A．Peking Opera is too difficult for robots to learn. B．Robots will soon replace human performers. C．Technology can help preserve and promote traditional arts. D．Technology is more important than traditional arts. 四、还原信息 (共 4 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 6 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Thanks to the popular movie, Ne Zha 2, many foreigners now know and love the famous Chinese hero!

Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. “Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at their desks, they wouldn’t have this experience.” Hobart said. She added that the gardens helped calm the kids and gave them a different viewpoint about soil and food. “If we had to buy the seedlings (幼苗) , they’d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,” Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We got seeds (种子) and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities.” Each spring, the school’s children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together. Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer. In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to go outside, get their hands dirty, and find worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it—that’s important,” Hobart said. Finley, their headmaster, supports teaching city kids about seeds and growing. He aims to “change the culture around food”. He remembered how amazing it was for his students to see “a seed becomes food”. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other form of education,” Finley says. “The act of gardening teaches you where our food sources come from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, they have a reverence for themselves and respect for the planet. Gardening is not a hobby, it’s a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.” 41．When did gardening begin as part of school curriculum in the United States? 42．Where did the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings? 43．What can teachers teach in the school garden? 44．Do you think doing gardening is important in your school? Why? (At least two reasons) 六、综合填空 (共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) Every teenager goes through a lot on the way to growing up.
