At the rec center, they met a friendly and funny boy called Bryce. He told jokes to make everyone laugh, and Arizona thought he was easy to get along with. At first, they followed the rules and skied on the easy slope (斜坡) hill to warm up. The chairlift was amazing—it felt like flying with birds in the sky. Everyone was excited and raced down the gentle slope happily. After lunch, Bryce changed the plan. He persuaded (劝说) them to ski on a higher slope. “Come on! Let’s jump and get some air!” he shouted. Arizona was not ready for the difficult jump at all. But she didn’t want to be called a “chicken” or be left behind, so she followed Bryce. Unluckily, she fell down hard. “Are you OK?” Mareya and Ollie asked worriedly. But she tried to stay brave and said, “I’m just playing with the snow!” But deep down, she knew she had made a wrong choice. For the last run of the day, Bryce pushed them to turn left to the closed slopes. “Aren’t these slopes closed?” Arizona asked quietly. “Don’t be afraid!” Bryce kept pushing. Mareya said seriously, “It’s not cool to push others!” But Bryce didn’t listen and skied alone. Soon, they felt worried because Bryce didn’t show up for a long time. Minutes passed, but Bryce didn’t show up. The three kids were nervous and asked the ski workers for help. Soon, the workers found Bryce. He fell down on the dangerous slope and hurt his leg badly. He walked back with the workers’ help, his face turning red, and said, “I should have listened to you.” This trip gave Arizona a clear lesson. If something does not feel 100 percent right, never do it. Real friends respect your choices and will never push you to do unsafe things. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. What did Arizona think of Bryce when they first met? A. He was shy and quiet. B. He was easy to be with. C. He was serious and strict. D. He was dangerous and pushy. 7. What did Bryce suggest doing right after lunch? A. To increase the difficulty of skiing. B. To go back to the rec center for more jokes. C. To follow a ski coach for a free safety lesson. D. To race down the gentle slope one more time. 8. Why did Arizona still follow Bryce even though she wasn’t ready? A. She wanted to make Bryce happy. B. She thought it would be easy and fun. C. She didn’t want to be looked down on. D. She wanted to show she was the best skier. 9. How did Bryce feel when returning from the closed slope? A. Angry and upset. B. Nervous but proud. C. Regretful and sorry. D. Scared but excited. 10. What does the title “Real Friends” mean in the text? A. Friends who encourage you to take cool risks. B. Friends who ski together on the highest slopes. C. Friends who always make you laugh with jokes. D. Friends who don’t force you to do what you hate. 【答案】6. B 7. A 8. C 9. C 10. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Arizona在一次滑雪旅行中明白了真正的朋友应该尊重他人的选择，而不是逼迫别人做危险事情的故事。 【6题详解】 根据第一段“He told jokes to make everyone laugh, and Arizona thought he was easy to get along with.”可知，Bryce讲笑话逗大家开心，Arizona认为他很容易相处。 【7题详解】 根据第三段“After lunch, Bryce changed the plan. He persuaded them to ski on a higher slope.”可知，午饭后Bryce建议大家去更高、更难的斜坡滑雪，即增加滑雪难度。 【8题详解】 根据第五段“But she didn’t want to be called a ‘chicken’ or be left behind, so she followed Bryce.”可知，虽然Arizona没有准备好，但她不想被别人认为胆小，也不想被落下，因此还是跟着Bryce去了。 【9题详解】 根据倒数第二段“He walked back with the workers’ help, his face turning red, and said, ‘I should have listened to you.’”可知，Bryce受伤后在工作人员帮助下回来，并承认自己应该听大家的话，说明他感到后悔和歉意。 【10题详解】 根据最后一段“Real friends respect your choices and will never push you to do unsafe things.”可知，真正的朋友会尊重你的选择，不会强迫你做危险或不愿意做的事情。 C All living things feel outside changes, and plants are the same. Unlike animals, plants cannot move or run away, but they have a special ability to sense light touches from nearby plants. When wind blows, plant leaves often touch each other. To find out how plants deal with this touch, scientists did a study on potato plants. They wanted to learn how touch changes plants’ shape, growth and their connections with insects (昆虫). In the study, scientists chose potato plants for the test. They divided the plants into two groups. For the treated group, they gently touched the leaf tips with a soft brush for 1 minute every day to copy real touch from nearby plants. Another group of plants was left untouched as the control group. After more than two weeks, scientists carefully measured (测量) the plants’ weight, the number of small hairs on leaves, and the special gases (气体) they sent out. They also did a test to find out whether pests liked the smell of touched plants or untouched ones better. They chose aphids, a common plant—eating insect that is bad for plants. The results were very clear. Touched plants grew shorter and stronger. The number of small hairs on their main leaves became much larger. The two groups of plants sent out the same total amount of special gases, but the kinds and amounts of each gas were different. Most importantly, aphids clearly disliked the smell of touched plants and chose to stay with the untouched ones. This special response (反应) to touch brings great advantages to plants. Shorter and stronger bodies protect plants from strong wind and help them compete for living space. More small hairs on leaves help plants use sunlight and water better. The changed gases also keep harmful insects away. This study offers new ideas for plant living and pest control in farming. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. What influence on plants does this study mainly study? A. Touch. B. Animals. C. Weather. D. Light. 12. Why did they touch the leaf tips with a soft brush every day? A. To clean the dirt on the leaves. B. To communicate with the plants. C. To clear small hairs from the leaves. D. To produce the same touch as in nature. 13. What does the underlined word “pests” mean in the text? A. Helpful insects. B. Harmful insects. C. Playful insects. D. Colorful insects. 14. Which of the following best shows the smell of the plant group that aphids prefer? A. B. C. D. 15. How does the writer develop the passage? A. By listing lots of scientific facts. B. By describing how a plant grows. C. By comparing two groups of plants. D. By introducing different kinds of plants. 【答案】11. A 12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学家通过对两组土豆植物的对比实验，研究植物如何感知触碰，以及触碰对植物生长、形态和与昆虫关系的影响。 【11题详解】 根据第一段中“To find out how plants deal with this touch, scientists did a study on potato plants. They wanted to learn how touch changes plants’ shape, growth and their connections with insects.”可知，该研究主要探讨触碰对植物的影响。 【12题详解】 根据第二段中“For the treated group, they gently touched the leaf tips with a soft brush for 1 minute every day to copy real touch from nearby plants.”可知，用软毛刷触碰叶尖是为了模拟自然界中其他植物带来的真实触碰。 【13题详解】 根据第三段中“They chose aphids, a common plant—eating insect that is bad for plants.”可知，文中提到的pests指的是对植物有害的昆虫。 【14题详解】 根据第四段中“Most importantly, aphids clearly disliked the smell of touched plants and chose to stay with the untouched ones.”可知，蚜虫更喜欢未被触碰的对照组植物的气味，即对照组的气味对蚜虫更有吸引力，对应选项中对照组（Control group）的柱形更高的图。 【15题详解】 通读全文，科学家将植物分为处理组和对照组，通过对比两组植物的生长状态、叶片绒毛、释放的气体以及蚜虫的偏好来得出结论，因此文章是通过对比两组植物来展开说明的。 D Do you feel down or lazy after the winter holidays?

C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Leo搬新家后参加同学派对，误入另一个派对，最终找到正确派对并结交朋友的故事。 【21题详解】 句意：为了认识更多的朋友，Leo立刻答应了。 根据前文“His classmate Noah Nelson invited him to his birthday party.”及空后“more friends”可知，Leo刚搬来不久，接受邀请的目的是结交朋友，所以用meet，意为“结识，认识”，符合语境。miss意为“错过，想念”，help意为“帮助”，thank意为“感谢”，均不符合结交新朋友的目的。 【22题详解】 句意：他很高兴地看到了一个大牌子：生日快乐，诺亚！ 根据前文他找不到派对地点正在寻找，以及空后看到了明确的派对标识可知，找到后的心情是高兴的，所以用glad，意为“高兴的”，符合语境。proud意为“骄傲的”，afraid意为“害怕的”，moved意为“感动的”，均不符合找到派对时的心情。 【23题详解】 句意：“我是Laura，Noah的奶奶，”她提议道。 根据前文“He walked to an old lady by the table”可知，和桌子旁的老妇人说话，她年纪大，最有可能是奶奶，所以用grandma，意为“奶奶”，符合语境。classmate意为“同学”，sister意为“姐妹”，aunt意为“阿姨”，均与old lady的身份不符。 【24题详解】 句意：Leo没有注意到任何不对劲，因为他来新学校的时间还不长。 根据空格前后为两个完整句子，后句是解释前句原因可知，此处需要引导原因状语从句的连词，所以用since，意为“因为，既然”，符合语境。if意为“如果”，so意为“所以”，although意为“虽然”，均不能表原因。 【25题详解】 句意：“Noah在哪里？我没看到他，”Leo在休息时问道。 根据后文“I can’t see him”可知，Leo在问Noah在哪里，所以用Where，意为“在哪里”，符合语境。Who意为“谁”，How意为“如何”，What意为“什么”，均与回答地点的语境不符。 【26题详解】 句意：Leo仍然踢足球玩得很开心。 根据前文“He liked soccer and was soon caught up in the game.”及“He even scored a goal.”可知，Leo在踢足球，所以用playing soccer，意为“踢足球”，符合语境。singing songs意为“唱歌”，eating food意为“吃东西”，running around意为“到处跑”，均非他进球的活动。 【27题详解】 句意：但Leo很惊讶——生日男孩不是他的同学Noah Nelson！ 根据破折号后的解释，他发现寿星不是自己认识的那个Noah，这完全出乎意料，所以用surprised，意为“惊讶的”，符合语境。down意为“沮丧的”，excited意为“兴奋的”，nervous意为“紧张的”，均不符合发现真相时的惊讶心情。 【28题详解】 句意：“我还有另一个派对要去，”他对孩子们说，然后离开了。 根据前文他发现自己走错了派对，以及空后“His face felt hot.”可知，他尴尬地找借口离开，所以用left，意为“离开”，符合语境。stopped意为“停止”，waited意为“等待”，stayed意为“留下”，均不符合尴尬离开的动作。 【29题详解】 句意：“不，我答应了Noah，我应该找到它。” 根据句意，他之前答应了同学的邀请，这里有承诺的意味，所以用promised，意为“承诺，答应”，符合语境。saved意为“拯救”，warned意为“警告”，trusted意为“信任”，均不能表达答应参加派对这层含义。 【30题详解】 句意： Leo小心翼翼地四处走动，寻找正确的派对。 根据前文情节，Leo已经因为粗心大意走错过一次派对，感到非常尴尬（“His face felt hot”）。现在他决定不逃避，而是继续寻找正确的派对，此时他最需要的是细心和谨慎，以避免再次走错。后文“He didn’t want to go to another wrong party”也印证了这一点——他不想再犯同样的错误。“with great care”是固定搭配，意为“非常小心地、仔细地”，符合语境。courage意为“勇气”，speed意为“速度”，interest意为“兴趣”，均不符合语境。 【31题详解】 句意：他可不想再去另一个错误的派对了。 根据前文他已经走错过一次派对，以及空后找到了正确的Noah可知，他不想再次犯错，所以用wrong，意为“错误的”，符合语境。same意为“相同的”，noisy意为“嘈杂的”，boring意为“无聊的”，均不能表达他不想再走错的心情。 【32题详解】 句意：“你怎么这么晚？”Noah问道。 根据前文Leo走错派对耽误了时间，以及Noah在等他可知，Leo来晚了，所以用late，意为“迟到的，晚的”，符合语境。busy意为“忙碌的”，shy意为“害羞的”，brave意为“勇敢的”，均不符合Noah询问为何迟到的语境。 【33题详解】 句意：“我看到了一个Noah生日派对的牌子，我以为那是你的派对。” 根据句意，Leo以为那个派对是他同学的，所以用yours，名词性物主代词，意为“你的（派对）”，符合语境。mine意为“我的”，ours意为“我们的”，his意为“他的”，均不能表达以为是自己同学的派对。 【34题详解】 句意：Leo害怕被嘲笑，但他还是诚实地把整个故事讲了出来。 根据前文他害怕被嘲笑但还是说出来可知，他是坦诚地讲述，所以用honestly，意为“诚实地”，符合语境。secretly意为“秘密地”，politely意为“礼貌地”，wisely意为“明智地”，均不能体现他虽害怕但仍坦诚的品质。 【35题详解】 句意：“对于一个新来的孩子，你认识的人可真不少，”Noah说。 根据文章开头“Leo’s family moved here two weeks earlier.”及“he had not been at his new school for very long”可知，Leo是新来的学生，所以用new，意为“新来的”，符合语境。smart意为“聪明的”，funny意为“有趣的”，lucky意为“幸运的”，均与前文多次强调的转学生身份不符。 四、语篇填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 第一节 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 palace rich still guest see as we bright and build Yingtian Gate stands in the heart of Luoyang, a famous ancient city in Henan.

The mix of ancient culture and modern life makes this ancient building ____45____ full of fresh energy. 【答案】36. as 37. building 38. palace 39. seen 40. guests 41. rich 42. us 43. and 44. brighter 45. still 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了洛阳应天门的悠久历史、建筑特色、历史作用以及如今作为旅游景点的活力。 【36题详解】 句意：它是中国古代最出色的城门之一，被誉为“天下第一门”。be known as意为“被称为……，作为……而出名”，固定搭配，符合此处表达应天门称号的语境。 【37题详解】 句意：早在1400多年前的隋朝公元605年，人们就开始建造这座宏伟的城门了。“started...this great gate”表示“开始建造这座宏伟的城门”。动词build意为“建造”，start doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“开始做某事”，因此需要将build变为动名词形式building。 【38题详解】 句意：它曾经是隋唐时期宫殿的正南门。应天门是隋唐皇家宫殿的正门，名词palace“宫殿”符合语义。 【39题详解】 句意：应天门见证了许多重要历史事件。根据后文“ Emperors held big celebrations and met foreign...here.”可知，此处表示城门见证事件，动词see“见证”符合语境；空格前的has是现在完成时的助动词，后接动词过去分词，所以see要变成过去分词seen。 【40题详解】 句意：皇帝会在这里举办大型庆典，接见外国宾客。“ met foreign...here”指“在这里接见外国客人”，名词guest“客人”符合语境，客人通常不止一位，故用复数guests。 【41题详解】 句意：它不只是一座城门，更是隋唐丰富文化的象征。此处需要形容词修饰名词culture，rich表示“丰富的”，rich culture意为“丰富的文化”，符合语义要求。 【42题详解】 句意：它帮助我们了解中国古代人民高超的建筑技艺。此处应该用短语help sb. do sth.表示“帮助某人做某事”，动词help后接人称代词需要用宾格形式，主格we的宾格是us。 【43题详解】 句意：他们喜欢在广场漫步，参观博物馆。句中walking around the square和visiting the museum是两个并列的动作，需要用并列连词and连接。 【44题详解】 句意：当夜幕降临时，美丽的灯光秀让这座古老城门在暗色天空的映衬下更加明亮。此处暗含和白天的比较，且much修饰形容词比较级，形容词bright“明亮的”的比较级brighter符合语境。  【45题详解】 句意：古代文化与现代生活的融合，让这座古建筑仍然充满鲜活的活力。此处需要副词修饰形容词短语full of fresh energy，still表示“仍然”，符合语义要求。 第二节 阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使语篇通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。 Two Horse—related Idioms (习语) Idiom 1: hold one’s horses This funny idiom doesn’t mean we really catch horses. It tells people to slow down or ____46____ patient. Last week, my friend wanted to rush into ____47____ game carelessly. I smiled and told him, “Hold your horses! Think twice first.” He calmed down quickly and made a better choice. We often use it ____48____ ask others not to be in a hurry. Idiom 2: a dark horse A dark horse is not a real black horse. It means a person ____49____ wins unexpectedly. In our school running match, no one noticed a quiet boy. But he ran much faster ____50____ others and won the first prize. He became a dark horse that day. This idiom is widely used in games, races and competitions. 【答案】46. be 47. a 48. to 49. who##that 50. than 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“按住你的马（保持耐心）”和“黑马（出人意料的获胜者）”这两个与马相关的英语习语的语意、用法及实例。 【46题详解】 句意：它告诉人们要慢下来或保持耐心。根据空前并列连词“or”与动词短语“slow down”构成的并列结构，以及空后形容词“patient”可知，此处需要填入系动词原形共同作并列的谓语。固定搭配“be patient”意为“保持耐心”。 【47题详解】 句意：上周，我的朋友想草率地冲进一场游戏。根据空后单数可数名词“game”可知，此处为首次提及此游戏，属于泛指，且“game”的发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词。 【48题详解】 句意：我们经常用它来要求别人不要着急。根据固定搭配“use sth. to do sth.”意为“使用某物做某事”以及空后的动词原形“ask”可知，此处应填入动词不定式符号。 【49题详解】 句意：它指的是意外获胜的人。根据结构“a person…wins unexpectedly”可知，此处是一个限制性定语从句，先行词“a person”指人，且关系代词在从句中作主语。 【50题详解】 句意：但他跑得比其他人快得多，赢得了一等奖。根据空前的比较级“faster”以及空后的“others”可知，此处是形容词比较级的常用对比句式。在英语比较级句型中，引出比较对象通常使用介词than。 五、补全对话（5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据下面的对话情景，在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 A: Good morning!

Why do you want to join our English club/What makes you want to join our English club/… 54. I’ m good at reading English stories and speaking English/I can speak English clearly /… 55. Yes, I do/Of course/… 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕英语俱乐部入会面试内容展开的对话。 【51题详解】 根据答语“Sure, I’m happy to answer them.”中的代词“them”可知，上文应提到复数名词“questions”；且此处是采访场景，征求对方同意提问，故填May I ask you some questions/Could you answer some of my questions? 【52题详解】 根据答语“My name is Mike.”可知，此处是询问对方的姓名，这是英语对话中的基本常识，故填May I know your name/What’s your name? 【53题详解】 根据答语“I really like English. I hope to practice my spoken English...”可知，B在解释加入俱乐部的原因和目的，结合语境A是俱乐部接待人员，故填Why do you want to join our English club/What makes you want to join our English club? 【54题详解】 根据问句“What are you good at in English?”可知，此处应回答擅长英语的具体方面。结合前文B提到想练习口语，此处回答擅长口语或其他技能均可，故填I’m good at reading English stories and speaking English/I can speak English clearly. 【55题详解】 根据问句“Do you have enough time every Friday afternoon?”可知，这是一般疑问句，需用Yes/No回答。结合后文“I have no other classes then.”可知时间是充足的，故作肯定回答Yes, I do./Of course. 六、书面表达（20分） 56. 假如你是李华，学校准备举办一场“用英语讲好中国故事”大赛（Telling Chinese Stories in English Competition），现需要一名英语主持人。你非常想得到这个机会。请你根据以下写作提示，用英语给大赛负责人Mr. Brown写一封自荐信。 写作提示：1.

At the rec center, they met a friendly and funny boy called Bryce. He told jokes to make everyone laugh, and Arizona thought he was easy to get along with. At first, they followed the rules and skied on the easy slope (斜坡) hill to warm up. The chairlift was amazing—it felt like flying with birds in the sky. Everyone was excited and raced down the gentle slope happily. After lunch, Bryce changed the plan. He persuaded (劝说) them to ski on a higher slope. “Come on! Let’s jump and get some air!” he shouted. Arizona was not ready for the difficult jump at all. But she didn’t want to be called a “chicken” or be left behind, so she followed Bryce. Unluckily, she fell down hard. “Are you OK?” Mareya and Ollie asked worriedly. But she tried to stay brave and said, “I’m just playing with the snow!” But deep down, she knew she had made a wrong choice. For the last run of the day, Bryce pushed them to turn left to the closed slopes. “Aren’t these slopes closed?” Arizona asked quietly. “Don’t be afraid!” Bryce kept pushing. Mareya said seriously, “It’s not cool to push others!” But Bryce didn’t listen and skied alone. Soon, they felt worried because Bryce didn’t show up for a long time. Minutes passed, but Bryce didn’t show up. The three kids were nervous and asked the ski workers for help. Soon, the workers found Bryce. He fell down on the dangerous slope and hurt his leg badly. He walked back with the workers’ help, his face turning red, and said, “I should have listened to you.” This trip gave Arizona a clear lesson. If something does not feel 100 percent right, never do it. Real friends respect your choices and will never push you to do unsafe things. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. What did Arizona think of Bryce when they first met? A. He was shy and quiet. B. He was easy to be with. C. He was serious and strict. D. He was dangerous and pushy. 7. What did Bryce suggest doing right after lunch? A. To increase the difficulty of skiing. B. To go back to the rec center for more jokes. C. To follow a ski coach for a free safety lesson. D. To race down the gentle slope one more time. 8. Why did Arizona still follow Bryce even though she wasn’t ready? A. She wanted to make Bryce happy. B. She thought it would be easy and fun. C. She didn’t want to be looked down on. D. She wanted to show she was the best skier. 9. How did Bryce feel when returning from the closed slope? A. Angry and upset. B. Nervous but proud. C. Regretful and sorry. D. Scared but excited. 10. What does the title “Real Friends” mean in the text? A. Friends who encourage you to take cool risks. B. Friends who ski together on the highest slopes. C. Friends who always make you laugh with jokes. D. Friends who don’t force you to do what you hate. C All living things feel outside changes, and plants are the same. Unlike animals, plants cannot move or run away, but they have a special ability to sense light touches from nearby plants. When wind blows, plant leaves often touch each other. To find out how plants deal with this touch, scientists did a study on potato plants. They wanted to learn how touch changes plants’ shape, growth and their connections with insects (昆虫). In the study, scientists chose potato plants for the test. They divided the plants into two groups. For the treated group, they gently touched the leaf tips with a soft brush for 1 minute every day to copy real touch from nearby plants. Another group of plants was left untouched as the control group. After more than two weeks, scientists carefully measured (测量) the plants’ weight, the number of small hairs on leaves, and the special gases (气体) they sent out. They also did a test to find out whether pests liked the smell of touched plants or untouched ones better. They chose aphids, a common plant—eating insect that is bad for plants. The results were very clear. Touched plants grew shorter and stronger. The number of small hairs on their main leaves became much larger. The two groups of plants sent out the same total amount of special gases, but the kinds and amounts of each gas were different. Most importantly, aphids clearly disliked the smell of touched plants and chose to stay with the untouched ones. This special response (反应) to touch brings great advantages to plants. Shorter and stronger bodies protect plants from strong wind and help them compete for living space. More small hairs on leaves help plants use sunlight and water better. The changed gases also keep harmful insects away. This study offers new ideas for plant living and pest control in farming. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. What influence on plants does this study mainly study? A. Touch. B. Animals. C. Weather. D. Light. 12. Why did they touch the leaf tips with a soft brush every day? A. To clean the dirt on the leaves. B. To communicate with the plants. C. To clear small hairs from the leaves. D. To produce the same touch as in nature. 13. What does the underlined word “pests” mean in the text? A. Helpful insects. B. Harmful insects. C. Playful insects. D. Colorful insects. 14. Which of the following best shows the smell of the plant group that aphids prefer? A. B. C. D. 15. How does the writer develop the passage? A. By listing lots of scientific facts. B. By describing how a plant grows. C. By comparing two groups of plants. D. By introducing different kinds of plants. D Do you feel down or lazy after the winter holidays? This common feeling is called post — holiday blues. ____16____ Don’t worry. This feeling is totally normal, and you can adjust (调整) yourself well with the following practical suggestions. It matters a lot that you accept your feelings honestly instead of hiding them. There’s no need to pretend (假装) to be fine when you’re tired or sad. It’s okay to feel this way. You can share your worries with your parents or close friends. ____17____ By facing your emotions directly, you will gradually feel more relaxed, and the low mood will fade. A slow return to your daily routine (常规) works well to deal with post — holiday blues. ____18____ That will only add stress. Instead, rebuild your schedule little by little. Start with regular sleep, then make fixed time to preview and review lessons. This will help you get used to school life easily. Staying in touch with classmates is another good way to lift your spirits. You can take a walk outdoors, do light sports like jumping rope or stretching, or dance to your favorite song. ____19____ It can drive away loneliness. It can also help you feel great soon. ____20____ Notice simple happiness around you: a kind word from your teacher, a helping hand from a classmate, or a sunny afternoon. These small joys will fill your life with happiness and help you beat post — holiday blues quickly. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A.
