阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Christmas markets are everywhere across Europe, especially in Germany, where they bring a fairy-tale sense of wonder to the season. But you don’t have to journey abroad for holiday magic — these fairs in the United States show European-style celebrations while celebrating their cities’ cultural heritage.
Kerstmarkt, Holland, Michigan
Holland’s Kerstmarkt has been a beloved annual tradition for more than 25 years. Wooden booths (展台) fill the 8th Street Marketplace downtown, offering goods from area producers. Look for handmade items from soaps to pens and jewelry. Along with finding unique gifts, you can taste Dutch delicious food, meet Sinterklaas, the Dutch Santa Claus, and listen to handbell concerts.
Texas Christkindl Market, Arlington, Texas
Arlington adopted the Bavarian town of Bad Königshofen in 1951, sending much-needed supplies of food and clothing to refugees (难民) escaping East Germany. A close relationship continues to this day. That history inspired the annual Texas Christkindl Market, which started in 2011. The event’s biggest vendor (供应商), Käthe Wohlfahrt, produces traditional German decorations, such as delicate glass decorations and wooden toys. While browsing the wares, don’t miss a performance by the Swiss Longhorns, a famed quartet playing 12-foot-long alphorns.
Christkindlmarkt, Carmel, Indiana
Carmel pyramid sparkles with some 3,000 bulbs, forming the centerpiece of the painstakingly detailed event. Stop by the Werkstatt to watch famous woodworkers and glassblowers from Germany at work. Kids can try their own crafts in the Kinderecke, while exhibits in the Kulturecke explore Indiana’s German-American history: The state was a major hub for German immigration in the 19th century.
1. What can visitors do at the Kerstmarkt?
A. Enjoy handbell concerts.
B. Watch famous woodworkers.
C. Learn the history of Arlington.
D. Watch a performance by the Swiss Longhorns.
2. What does Käthe Wohlfahrt produce?

On July 12, 2024, sudden flash floods hit Heping Village in central China’s Hunan Province. 24-year-old Li Wei, a new college graduate, turned his trip home into a life-saving task. He braved fast-rushing floodwaters to rescue (营救) 12 stuck villagers.
Li had returned to his hometown just two days before the disaster, preparing for an important coming exam. The continuous heavy rain lasted 38 hours nonstop, making the nearby mountain river rise above its banks quickly. By 5 a.m., most of the village’s low-lying areas were covered by 2 meters of water. Houses were badly damaged, and all outside roads were completely cut off, leaving many villagers stuck in flooded homes with no way to call for help.
Most villagers had left for the safe hillside before the water rose sharply, but Li headed straight for the flooded area the moment he heard cries for help. He picked up a rubber boat and set off at once to begin the rescue. “I grew up here, so I know every path and corner of the village like the back of my hand,” Li said. “I couldn’t just stand by and watch.”
The water was far more dangerous than Li expected, with broken tree branches and house pieces that could easily damage his boat. He made over 10 round trips in 6 hours. At one point, his boat was broken by a sharp stick, and he fell into the water. He caught a broken tree, fixed the boat with a rope, and continued his rescue work, even as his phone and exam review materials were washed away. By late afternoon, he brought all 12 villagers to the safe area, with no one hurt. The local government awarded him for his bravery, but Li said anyone would have done the same.
4. Why did Li Wei return to his hometown before the flood?
A. To work as a volunteer in the village.
B. To receive an award as a volunteer.
C. To help with the flood prevention work.
D. To prepare for a coming examination.
5. What allowed Li Wei to take the life-saving action immediately?
A. His professional rescue training. B. The perfect land conditions.
C. The help from other villagers. D. His familiarity with the village.
6. Which of the following can best describe Li Wei according to the text?
A. Brave and selfless. B. Honest and generous.
C. Careful and confident. D. Devoted and hard-working.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Serious Flash Flood in Hunan Province.
B. The Importance of Flood Aid Preparation.
C. A Young Graduate’s Heroic Rescue in a Flood.
D. Tips on Staying Safe During Natural Disasters.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了2024年湖南和平村突发山洪,刚毕业的大学生李伟返乡备考,却不顾危险勇救12名被困村民的英雄事迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Li had returned to his hometown just two days before the disaster, preparing for an important coming exam.(李在灾难发生前两天刚回到家乡,准备一场即将到来的重要考试)”可知,李伟返回家乡是为了准备即将到来的考试。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I grew up here, so I know every path and corner of the village like the back of my hand(我在这里长大,所以对村里的每条小路和每个角落都了如指掌)”可知,李伟对村子非常熟悉,让他能立刻展开救援。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The water was far more dangerous than Li expected, with broken tree branches and house pieces that could easily damage his boat. He made over 10 round trips in 6 hours. At one point, his boat was broken by a sharp stick, and he fell into the water. He caught a broken tree, fixed the boat with a rope, and continued his rescue work, even as his phone and exam review materials were washed away. By late afternoon, he brought all 12 villagers to the safe area, with no one hurt. The local government awarded him for his bravery, but Li said anyone would have done the same.(水比李预计的危险得多,到处是折断的树枝和房屋碎片,很容易损坏他的船。他在6小时内往返了10多次。有一次,他的船被一根尖锐的树枝划破,他掉进了水里。他抓住一棵断树,用绳子把船修好,然后继续他的救援工作,尽管他的手机和考试复习资料都被冲走了。到傍晚时分,他把12名村民都带到了安全地带,无人受伤。当地政府为他的勇敢行为授予了奖励,但李说任何人都会这么做)”可知,李伟冒着洪水危险多次往返救人,不顾自身财物与复习资料受损,体现出他勇敢且无私。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段“On July 12, 2024, sudden flash floods hit Heping Village in central China’s Hunan Province. 24-year-old Li Wei, a new college graduate, turned his trip home into a life-saving task. He braved fast-rushing floodwaters to rescue 12 stuck villagers.(2024年7月12日,突发的山洪袭击了中国中部湖南省的和平村。24岁的李伟是一名刚毕业的大学生,他将回家之旅变成了一场救援行动。他冒着湍急的洪水,救出了12名被困村民)”是文章主旨句,后文围绕年轻毕业生李伟在洪水中的英勇救援行为展开。C项“A Young Graduate’s Heroic Rescue in a Flood.(一名年轻毕业生在洪水中的英勇救援)”是最好的标题。
C
“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials (纪念碑) of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic (国内的) tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the well-being of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the earnings of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ earnings, it can develop local development.
Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
8. What can we know about red tourism?
A. It has made tourism full of new life. B. It is not popular with the young.
C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
9. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2?
A. To describe a scene. B. To explain the story.
C. To prove his idea. D. To introduce a platform.
10. What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas?
A. It can help improve farming equipment.
B. Local people can receive much help from society.
C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
D. Local people can make more money.
11. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A travel journal. B. A news report.
C. A storybook. D. A fashion magazine.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

【10题详解】

(红色旅游也可以作为发展农村地区的一个机会,因为大多数革命根据地和红色旅游景点都在农村。它可以提高当地人的收入,因为红色旅游创造了就业机会,有助于增加农民收入,它可以促进当地发展。)”可知,红色旅游对农村地区的好处是当地人可以赚更多的钱。

A new study has found that some of the hottest heatwaves in history happened a long time ago and were not well known. Scientists from the University of Bristol did this research and said that as our world gets warmer, we can expect even hotter heatwaves in the future.
The study found five very hot heatwaves that were not talked about much. Dr. Vikki Thompson, who led the study, said that the heatwave in Canada and the United States was very surprising, but there were even hotter ones in the past. She also said that using what we know about the climate, we can guess that very hot days will get more common in the next 100 years.
Heatwaves can cause a lot of problems. The one in western North America was very bad and caused many catastrophes. It also started big fires that damaged many things and ruined crops. People will remember this heatwave because it caused so much damage.
Even though the hottest places are not always the ones that have the biggest problems, they are often connected. Knowing more about the very hot days and where they happen can help protect the most vulnerable regions.
Professor Dann Mitchell, who also worked on the study, said that climate change is a big health problem for everyone on Earth. He pointed out that many heatwaves in places that are not very rich were not noticed. When a country gets very hot, it can cause many people to die, especially if the temperature is not normal for them.
The University of Bristol cares about the problems caused by climate change and wants to help fix them. In 2019, it was the first university in the UK to say that there is a climate emergency (紧急情况).
12. What can we expect about heatwaves in the future?
A. They will decrease in amount. B. They will only affect certain regions.
C. They will have no impact on global health. D. They will increase in degree over the coming century.
13. What does the underlined word “catastrophes” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cuts in food production. B. Events resulting in great loss.
C. Activities held by government. D. Something important to environment.
14. Why is it important to understand where the hottest heatwaves have happened?
A. To predict where the next heatwave will happen.
B. To find the connection between heatwaves and crop yields.
C. To help take measures to protect the most vulnerable regions.
D. To determine which countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas.
15. What can we know from paragraph 5?
A. Climate change has had a great influence on health.
B. The heatwaves outside of the developed world are always noticed.
C. The death rate related to the climate change is expected to be lower.
D. Developing countries are warned of the influences of climate change.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究发现历史上曾有更强热浪,未来高温将更频发,气候变化危害健康。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She also said that using what we know about the climate, we can guess that very hot days will get more common in the next 100 years.(她还表示,利用我们对气候的了解,我们可以猜测,在未来100年里,极端炎热的日子将变得更加普遍。)”可知,未来极端炎热的日子会变得更普遍,即热浪的强度会增加。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The one in western North America was very bad and caused many catastrophes. It also started big fires that damaged many things and ruined crops.(北美西部的那次热浪尤为严重,造成了catastrophes。它还引发了大规模火灾,损毁诸多设施、毁坏农作物。)”可知,热浪引发了大火,破坏了许多东西,毁坏了庄稼,这些都是巨大的损失,所以catastrophes意思是“导致巨大损失的事件”。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Knowing more about the very hot days and where they happen can help protect the most vulnerable regions.(更多地了解极端炎热的日子以及它们发生的地点,有助于保护最脆弱的地区。)”可知,了解极端炎热的日子及其发生地点有助于保护最脆弱的地区。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Professor Dann Mitchell, who also worked on the study, said that climate change is a big health problem for everyone on Earth.(同样参与这项研究的丹·米切尔教授表示,气候变化对地球上的每个人来说都是一个巨大的健康问题。)”可知,气候变化对地球上的每个人来说都是一个巨大的健康问题,即气候变化对健康有很大的影响。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了中国传统节日龙抬头的时间、相关俗语及各地的传统习俗。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:中国传统的龙抬头节,每年农历二月初二举行,被认为是春天和农耕的开始。根据时间状语every year可知,此处用一般现在时,主语The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival为单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式falls。
【37题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:俗话说“二月二,龙抬头”,意思是“农历二月初二,龙抬起它的头”。根据空后名词head可知,空处需用形容词性物主代词its作定语。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:最著名的传统是理发。根据空后名词haircut可知,此处泛指“一次理发”,空处需用不定冠词,haircut的发音以辅音音素开头,所以空处需用不定冠词a。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:有些人认为在这一天去理发店能摆脱困难,而另一些人则认为去理发店通常会带来厄运。作介词的宾语,用名词difficulty,此处数量大于一用复数形式。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:有些人认为在这一天去理发店能摆脱困难,而另一些人则认为去理发店通常会带来厄运。修饰动词bring用副词typically。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:另一种说法警告说,正月理发会导致舅舅死亡。cause sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“导致某人做某事”,空处需用动词不定式to die作宾语补足语。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:尽管如今人们对其关注度不高,但过去曾有一项传统,即在龙抬头节那天,人们会聚集在理发店门外。短语in spite of表示“尽管”。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:象征着好运的豆腐丸子在福建很受欢迎。此处balls与represent构成主动关系,故用现在分词作定语。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:炒豆子是中国东部山东省部分地区的人们喜欢的传统节日食物。引导定语从句,先行词为the traditional festival food,指物,从句中缺少宾语,故用关系代词that或which引导。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意:节日期间食用糯米制成的撑腰糕是江苏苏州的传统习俗,民间俗语称:二月二吃撑腰糕,整年腰骨不酸痛。空处为并列句的谓语动词,陈述事实用一般现在时,主语为saying,谓语用三单形式。

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。
Last month, our English teacher organized a group study program. Everyone needed to help each other and make progress together. My deskmate Sam was my partner.
I was really weak in English. I was shy and nervous when I spoke English. I often forgot words and dared not answer questions in class. I even said to Sam sadly, “I’m afraid I can’t learn English well. It’s too difficult for me.”
Sam was kind and helpful. He patted me on the shoulder gently and said, “Don’t lose heart. I will help you. We can practice together after school every day.”
From then on, we studied together after class. He taught me to read new words again and again. He explained grammar rules in a simple way and encouraged me to speak aloud. When I made mistakes, he never laughed at me. Instead, he smiled and said, “Keep trying! You’re making progress little by little.”
Last Friday, our teacher told us that each student would give a short English talk in class. When I heard the news, my heart beat fast. I sat quietly with my head down. Sam looked at me and knew how worried I was.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】范文
Sam approached me and tried to cheer me up. He comforted me not to be scared and said I had improved a lot during our daily practice. He offered to rehearse the speech with me right away. After class, we stayed in the classroom. He listened carefully to my speech, fixed my wrong pronunciation and advised me to slow down my pace. He kept cheering me on whenever I hesitated. With his steady support, I practiced dozens of times and grew much braver.
Finally, it was my turn to give the talk. My mind went blank for a second, yet I soon recalled Sam’s encouraging smiles. I took a deep breath and began to speak steadily. I expressed my ideas clearly and finished the whole talk successfully. Loud applause rang out instantly. The teacher spoke highly of my performance. I felt proud and thankful, realizing true friendship helps us overcome difficulties and make steady progress.

Christmas markets are everywhere across Europe, especially in Germany, where they bring a fairy-tale sense of wonder to the season. But you don’t have to journey abroad for holiday magic — these fairs in the United States show European-style celebrations while celebrating their cities’ cultural heritage.
Kerstmarkt, Holland, Michigan
Holland’s Kerstmarkt has been a beloved annual tradition for more than 25 years. Wooden booths (展台) fill the 8th Street Marketplace downtown, offering goods from area producers. Look for handmade items from soaps to pens and jewelry. Along with finding unique gifts, you can taste Dutch delicious food, meet Sinterklaas, the Dutch Santa Claus, and listen to handbell concerts.
Texas Christkindl Market, Arlington, Texas
Arlington adopted the Bavarian town of Bad Königshofen in 1951, sending much-needed supplies of food and clothing to refugees (难民) escaping East Germany. A close relationship continues to this day. That history inspired the annual Texas Christkindl Market, which started in 2011. The event’s biggest vendor (供应商), Käthe Wohlfahrt, produces traditional German decorations, such as delicate glass decorations and wooden toys. While browsing the wares, don’t miss a performance by the Swiss Longhorns, a famed quartet playing 12-foot-long alphorns.
Christkindlmarkt, Carmel, Indiana
Carmel pyramid sparkles with some 3,000 bulbs, forming the centerpiece of the painstakingly detailed event. Stop by the Werkstatt to watch famous woodworkers and glassblowers from Germany at work. Kids can try their own crafts in the Kinderecke, while exhibits in the Kulturecke explore Indiana’s German-American history: The state was a major hub for German immigration in the 19th century.
1. What can visitors do at the Kerstmarkt?
A. Enjoy handbell concerts.
B. Watch famous woodworkers.

On July 12, 2024, sudden flash floods hit Heping Village in central China’s Hunan Province. 24-year-old Li Wei, a new college graduate, turned his trip home into a life-saving task. He braved fast-rushing floodwaters to rescue (营救) 12 stuck villagers.
Li had returned to his hometown just two days before the disaster, preparing for an important coming exam. The continuous heavy rain lasted 38 hours nonstop, making the nearby mountain river rise above its banks quickly. By 5 a.m., most of the village’s low-lying areas were covered by 2 meters of water. Houses were badly damaged, and all outside roads were completely cut off, leaving many villagers stuck in flooded homes with no way to call for help.
Most villagers had left for the safe hillside before the water rose sharply, but Li headed straight for the flooded area the moment he heard cries for help. He picked up a rubber boat and set off at once to begin the rescue. “I grew up here, so I know every path and corner of the village like the back of my hand,” Li said. “I couldn’t just stand by and watch.”
The water was far more dangerous than Li expected, with broken tree branches and house pieces that could easily damage his boat. He made over 10 round trips in 6 hours. At one point, his boat was broken by a sharp stick, and he fell into the water. He caught a broken tree, fixed the boat with a rope, and continued his rescue work, even as his phone and exam review materials were washed away. By late afternoon, he brought all 12 villagers to the safe area, with no one hurt. The local government awarded him for his bravery, but Li said anyone would have done the same.
4. Why did Li Wei return to his hometown before the flood?
A. To work as a volunteer in the village.
B. To receive an award as a volunteer.
C. To help with the flood prevention work.
D. To prepare for a coming examination.
5. What allowed Li Wei to take the life-saving action immediately?
A. His professional rescue training. B. The perfect land conditions.
C. The help from other villagers. D. His familiarity with the village.
6. Which of the following can best describe Li Wei according to the text?
A. Brave and selfless. B. Honest and generous.
C. Careful and confident. D. Devoted and hard-working.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Serious Flash Flood in Hunan Province.
B. The Importance of Flood Aid Preparation.
C. A Young Graduate’s Heroic Rescue in a Flood.
D. Tips on Staying Safe During Natural Disasters.

“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials (纪念碑) of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic (国内的) tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the well-being of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the earnings of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ earnings, it can develop local development.
Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
8. What can we know about red tourism?
A. It has made tourism full of new life. B. It is not popular with the young.
C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
9. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2?
A. To describe a scene. B. To explain the story.
C. To prove his idea. D. To introduce a platform.
10. What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas?
A. It can help improve farming equipment.
B. Local people can receive much help from society.
C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
D. Local people can make more money.
11. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A travel journal. B. A news report.
C. A storybook. D. A fashion magazine.

A new study has found that some of the hottest heatwaves in history happened a long time ago and were not well known. Scientists from the University of Bristol did this research and said that as our world gets warmer, we can expect even hotter heatwaves in the future.
The study found five very hot heatwaves that were not talked about much. Dr. Vikki Thompson, who led the study, said that the heatwave in Canada and the United States was very surprising, but there were even hotter ones in the past. She also said that using what we know about the climate, we can guess that very hot days will get more common in the next 100 years.
Heatwaves can cause a lot of problems. The one in western North America was very bad and caused many catastrophes. It also started big fires that damaged many things and ruined crops. People will remember this heatwave because it caused so much damage.
Even though the hottest places are not always the ones that have the biggest problems, they are often connected. Knowing more about the very hot days and where they happen can help protect the most vulnerable regions.
Professor Dann Mitchell, who also worked on the study, said that climate change is a big health problem for everyone on Earth. He pointed out that many heatwaves in places that are not very rich were not noticed. When a country gets very hot, it can cause many people to die, especially if the temperature is not normal for them.
The University of Bristol cares about the problems caused by climate change and wants to help fix them. In 2019, it was the first university in the UK to say that there is a climate emergency (紧急情况).
12. What can we expect about heatwaves in the future?
A. They will decrease in amount. B. They will only affect certain regions.
C. They will have no impact on global health. D. They will increase in degree over the coming century.
13. What does the underlined word “catastrophes” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cuts in food production. B. Events resulting in great loss.
C. Activities held by government. D. Something important to environment.
14. Why is it important to understand where the hottest heatwaves have happened?
A. To predict where the next heatwave will happen.
B. To find the connection between heatwaves and crop yields.
C. To help take measures to protect the most vulnerable regions.
D. To determine which countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas.
15. What can we know from paragraph 5?
A. Climate change has had a great influence on health.
B. The heatwaves outside of the developed world are always noticed.
C. The death rate related to the climate change is expected to be lower.
D. Developing countries are warned of the influences of climate change.

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。
Last month, our English teacher organized a group study program. Everyone needed to help each other and make progress together. My deskmate Sam was my partner.
I was really weak in English. I was shy and nervous when I spoke English. I often forgot words and dared not answer questions in class. I even said to Sam sadly, “I’m afraid I can’t learn English well. It’s too difficult for me.”
Sam was kind and helpful. He patted me on the shoulder gently and said, “Don’t lose heart. I will help you. We can practice together after school every day.”
From then on, we studied together after class. He taught me to read new words again and again. He explained grammar rules in a simple way and encouraged me to speak aloud. When I made mistakes, he never laughed at me. Instead, he smiled and said, “Keep trying! You’re making progress little by little.”
Last Friday, our teacher told us that each student would give a short English talk in class. When I heard the news, my heart beat fast. I sat quietly with my head down. Sam looked at me and knew how worried I was.
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。
Sam approached me and tried to cheer me up.
