For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits (肖像), and even photorealistic descriptions of California. And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used. Titled Secret Garden and recently on display at the Garden Museum in London, this work reimagines a peaceful setting with a fish pond, flowers, and plants — all made from recycled denim jeans. The Secret Garden show was first exhibited at the Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York in 2017 and has since been displayed in various site-specific locations and galleries worldwide. Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature. “The idea came from thinking many kids don’t have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out,” Berry says. “It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.” The artist even showed the kids a cotton plant to explain where jeans come from. “It was amazing to see so many confused at the idea,” he recalls. “It enabled educators to talk about how in the show plants were turned into pants, then back to plants again.” While the most recent Secret Garden show isn’t specifically designed for children, it still arouses a childlike sense of wonder. Visitors can walk through the denim garden path and find plants hanging above them. Various plants and flowers are depicted in shades of indigo (靛蓝色). There’s even a peaceful pond at the heart of the garden, featuring denim koi fish, and a central water feature. Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it’s easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim. 4. What did Ian Berry use denim for? A. A kind of cloth for clothing. B. Covers for various portraits. C. Bags for flowers and plants. D. Materials for his works of art. 5. What’s the aim of the Secret Garden show? A. To raise children’s awareness of nature. B. To get children in New York interested in art. C. To tell the great use of denim in daily life. D. To explain how to recycle denim jeans. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Children’s lack of nature knowledge. B. People’s confusion about Berry’s art. C. Motivation of Berry’s artistic creation. D. Process of plant of different periods. 7. What is the characteristic of the show described in the last paragraph? A. Costly. B. Complicated. C. Abstract. D. Lifelike. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伦敦艺术家Ian Berry使用牛仔布创作的《秘密花园》艺术展览，该展览旨在激发儿童对自然的兴趣并传递可持续发展的理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits, and even photorealistic descriptions of California. And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used.(在过去的二十年里，Berry一直用这种深蓝色布料创作各种肖像，甚至是对加利福尼亚州的写实描述。而他最新的创作继续揭示了牛仔布可以被使用的令人意想不到和创新的方式)”可知，Ian Berry用牛仔布作为他艺术创作的材料。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature.(Berry最初的设计是针对年轻观众的，他的目的是激发孩子们思考我们与自然的互动)”可知，《秘密花园》展览的目的是提高儿童对自然的意识。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The idea came from thinking many kids don’t have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out…It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.(这个想法来自于想到很多孩子没有自己的花园，想到位于建筑之间的社区花园，并试图激励他们去寻找它们……这也给了人们谈论可持续性的机会，同时帮助年轻人思考事物的来源)”可知，第三段主要讲了Berry艺术创作的动机。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it’s easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim.(花园的每个区域都展示了令人印象深刻的细节水平，以至于人们很容易忘记整个展览都是手工用牛仔布制作的)”可推知，最后一段描述的展览的特点是栩栩如生的。故选D。 C Enjoying a juicy watermelon is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, particularly when you don’t have to avoid any seeds. Indeed, humans have adapted many fruits to be seedless in search of a more pleasant eating experience. The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation (随机的基因突变) produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. Cuttings of the branch were joined to other trees, and today, all of the world’s navel oranges are copies of this original. A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. Even if some combinations don’t pan out, researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents. Lastly, because the purpose of fruit is to draw animals near to help spread their seeds, the production of fruits without fertilization (受精) may ultimately allow trees to produce more fruit at a lower energetic cost if they don’t need to make seeds, too. Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. There are very few, if any, wild navel oranges, and yet it’s estimated that California will produce 76 million cartons of them this year alone. “My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them,” Smith told Live Science. “And we will never stop eating watermelons, and being able to make seedless ones just means we eat more watermelons.” 8. What is the similarity between the orange and grape mentioned in the text? A. Being native to ancient Rome. B. Being seedless due to genetic change. C. Being grown from seeds rather than cuttings. D. Being joined to other plants for a sweeter taste. 9. What does the underlined phrase “pan out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Die out. B. Fall through. C. Come apart. D. Work out. 10. Why is the existence of seedless fruits considered a thought experiment? A. It contributes to the balance of nature. B. People still have doubts regarding seedless fruits. C. It inspires thinking on natural selection and human activity. D. Seedless fruits have a high demand but limited production. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Hybridization: The Key to Seedless Fruits’ Success B. Seedless Fruits: A Human-Aided Evolutionary Wonder C. The Journey of Seedless Fruits: From Mutation to Market D. Genetic Mutations: The Only Way to Create Seedless Fruits 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无籽水果的起源、发展以及它们与人类活动的关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. (例如，脐橙，一种通常无籽的甜橙，是在很久以前随机的基因突变产生了一个无籽果实的单枝后产生的)”和“A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. (类似的发现导致了无籽葡萄的出现，无籽葡萄被认为最早出现在古罗马，然后在19世纪70年代传到了美洲)”可知，脐橙和无籽葡萄的相似之处在于都是由于基因变化而变得无籽。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。画线部分的上文“Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. (科学家们对植物为什么会发展出这些能力有一些猜测，他们在实验中尝试了这些组合。首先，植物比某些动物更容易杂交，而杂交释放了新的潜力)”提到科学家们尝试不同的组合，用杂交的手段释放新的潜力，Even if“即使”表示让步关系，再结合画线部分的下文“researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents (研究人员也记录了“杂交优势”的例子，在这种情况下，杂交后代比其父母中的任何一个都更适合)”可推知，虽然有些组合可能不成功，但也存在杂交优势的例子，画线部分意思应该是“成功，奏效”，与Work out意思最为接近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. (科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的植物进化生物学家Stacey Smith表示，不管无籽水果存在的原因是什么，它们都代表了一个有趣的思想实验。如果没有人类的参与，许多水果无法继续生存，但出于同样的原因，它们被鼓励在野外生长)”可知，无籽水果的存在依赖于人类的干预，而不是自然选择。由此推知，无籽水果的存在是一个有趣的思想实验，是因为这引发了关于自然选择和人类活动之间关系的思考。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中Smith所说的话“My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them (我个人的看法是，所有在人类照料下的植物都在某种意义上取得了胜利，因为它们不需要自己繁殖。我们为它们完成了这个活动)”可知，文章主要介绍了无籽水果的起源、发展以及它们与人类活动的关系。文章提到，无籽水果的出现是由于基因突变和人类的选择性繁殖，并且它们的生存依赖于人类的干预。因此，B项“无籽水果：人类辅助的进化奇迹”最能概括文章的核心内容，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Imagine the roadways where nearly all serious accidents can be avoided, and trucks can transport goods around the clock without needing to stop for sleep. Applications for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will replace the average human reaction time, lowering it from 1.6 seconds to just 0.5 seconds, saving countless lives in the process. The driverless future of autonomous vehicles (AV) is set to transform society by reinventing (重塑) the transportation industry and changing consumer behaviors forever. Yet, the share of consumers who support government regulation of fully self-driving cars has declined 15% over the past year, and trust in the safety of autonomous vehicles is down 5%. To address these ongoing safety concerns, more must be done. Autonomous vehicles should not be regulated by the same rules that govern standard passenger vehicles because those regulations do not address the unique safety challenges for AVs. To address these concerns, the industry will need to continue building public trust through the improved performance of AV systems, especially in controlled environments. Reaching a totally hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving experience will require a range of next-generation technologies that are still being developed. Automakers will continue to increase the safety of autonomous vehicles by applying new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the performance of sensors that use radio and light waves to help detect road users in all weather conditions. The technical brain of an AV system relies on software systems that actively protect passengers. As this market grows, costs will steadily fall for these new sensors and high-performance computers, just as safety standards continue to progress around the country and the world. To help build confidence in AVs, the industry will need to generate a common set of testing standards, similar to crash safety standards, that AV developers can evaluate their systems against. As autonomous driving evolves, the road to a driverless future still holds many twists and turns ahead. It should be an exciting and wild ride for years to come as the auto industry reinvents itself with ever-increasing levels of automation. 12. What make consumers still hesitant about the application of AV? A. Costly operating systems. B. Government regulations. C. Potential safety concerns. D. Complicated technologies. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AVs fail to follow standard regulations. B. Tailored rules are needed for AVs. C. Public trust in AVs is difficult to earn. D. AVs should be tested on public roads. 14. How can the public’s trust in AVs be improved? A. By integrating existing technologies. B. By limiting their maximum speed. C. By developing a reliable testing system. D. By minimizing the cost of sensors. 15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of AVs? A. Skeptical and concerned. B. Cautious yet optimistic. C. Worried and reserved. D. Pessimistic yet tolerant. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讨论了自动驾驶汽车(AV)的未来，强调了其在提高交通安全、重塑交通行业和改变消费者行为方面的潜力，同时指出了公众对AV安全性的担忧以及如何建立公众信任。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet, the share of consumers who support government regulation of fully self-driving cars has declined 15% over the past year, and trust in the safety of autonomous vehicles is down 5%. (然而，过去一年中，支持政府对完全自动驾驶汽车进行监管的消费者比例下降了15%，对自动驾驶汽车安全性的信任度下降了5%。)”可知，消费者对自动驾驶汽车的潜在安全性问题仍然感到担忧。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Autonomous vehicles should not be regulated by the same rules that govern standard passenger vehicles because those regulations do not address the unique safety challenges for AVs. (自动驾驶汽车不应该受到与标准乘用车相同的规则的约束，因为这些规则没有解决自动驾驶汽车面临的特殊安全挑战。)”可知，需要为自动驾驶汽车制定专门的规则。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“To help build confidence in AVs, the industry will need to generate a common set of testing standards, similar to crash safety standards, that AV developers can evaluate their systems against.(为了帮助建立对自动驾驶汽车的信心，该行业需要制定一套类似于碰撞安全标准的通用测试标准，以便自动驾驶汽车开发者可以对照这些标准评估其系统。)”可知，制定一套可靠的测试标准可以帮助建立公众对自动驾驶汽车的信心。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It should be an exciting and wild ride for years to come as the auto industry reinvents itself with ever-increasing levels of automation.(随着汽车行业以不断提高的自动化水平重塑自己，未来几年将是一段激动人心且充满变数的旅程。)”可知，作者认为这将是一段激动人心且充满挑战的旅程，由此可知，作者对自动驾驶汽车的未来持谨慎乐观的态度。故选B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。 Across the world, millions of people are killed or disabled in traffic accidents every year. ____16____ Knowing how to give first aid to accident victims can mean the difference between life and death.

She looked all around her in the huge building that seemed to be filled with thousands of people. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. She was very excited, or rather just a little nervous. She hugged her favorite doll tight. That made her feel better. She walked down the narrow aisle of the plane to find her seat with her parents. The tall flight attendant smiled at her and asked where they were going. “A world-famous entertainment resort,” Anika said with a smile. “I think so,” replied the flight attendant. “Most of the families on this flight are headed that way.” She pointed to her name tag. “I'm Leanne. Let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.” “Thanks. I'm Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her. “Nice to meet you both,” replied Leanne. The flight was a few hours so she read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and bored too. Anika’s mom suggested she get some sleep, asking for a pillow and a blanket. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived! She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her mother and father were busy packing up. They picked up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from the passengers. “Bye, maybe I will see you next week on your return flight home,” Leanne said and waved goodbye to Anika and the other passengers as they left the plane. As Leanne shook out the blankets she had gathered from the seats, the flight attendant was surprised when a doll fell out onto the floor. She picked it up and recognized it as the doll young Anika had shown her. 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。 With duties to complete, she couldn’t run after the family and return it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, when she boarded the plane, Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With duties to complete, she couldn’t run after the family and return it. Leanne felt a bit worried. She knew how much the doll meant to Anika. After finishing her tasks, she took the doll to the lost-and-found office at the airport. She carefully filled out a form, describing Anika and the details of the flight. She hoped that Anika would come to claim it. Every time she thought about the little girl’s disappointed face if she found out Pansy was missing, she felt a pang of guilt. A week later, when she boarded the plane, Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. Anika’s eyes were red and swollen as she had been crying over the loss of Pansy. Leanne quickly walked over to her with a big smile and held out Pansy. “Is this what you’ve been looking for?” she asked. Anika's face lit up instantly. She hugged Leanne tightly and then grabbed Pansy, tears of joy streaming down her face. “Thank you so much! I was so sad without her,” Anika said. Leanne patted her head and said, “I knew you must be heartbroken. I’m glad I could return her to you.” And then, they started a pleasant conversation as the plane took off on its return journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了Anika第一次坐飞机，在飞机上与空姐Leanne交流，下飞机时不慎遗落心爱的玩偶Pansy，Leanne发现玩偶的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她还有任务要完成，不能跟着这一家人，所以她返回去了。”可知，第一段可描写Leanne在工作完成后，把玩偶送到了认领处。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，当她登上飞机时，阿尼卡惊讶地看到莱恩。”可知，第二段可描写Leanne将玩偶给Anika的过程。 2.续写线索：工作结束到认领处登记——看到Anika——给她玩偶——感谢——交谈 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②高兴起来：lit up/cheered up ③返还：return/give back 情绪类 ①感谢：thank sb./be grateful to sb. ②高兴：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1]  She hoped that Anika would come to claim it. （由that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Every time she thought about the little girl’s disappointed face if she found out Pansy was missing, she felt a pang of guilt.（由every time引导的状语从句和if引导的状语从句） [高分句型3] She hugged Leanne tightly and then grabbed Pansy, tears of joy streaming down her face.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江西省定南中学2025-2026学年度下学期期末考试高二英语试卷 第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1．Where are the speakers?

For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits (肖像), and even photorealistic descriptions of California. And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used. Titled Secret Garden and recently on display at the Garden Museum in London, this work reimagines a peaceful setting with a fish pond, flowers, and plants — all made from recycled denim jeans. The Secret Garden show was first exhibited at the Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York in 2017 and has since been displayed in various site-specific locations and galleries worldwide. Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature. “The idea came from thinking many kids don’t have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out,” Berry says. “It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.” The artist even showed the kids a cotton plant to explain where jeans come from. “It was amazing to see so many confused at the idea,” he recalls. “It enabled educators to talk about how in the show plants were turned into pants, then back to plants again.” While the most recent Secret Garden show isn’t specifically designed for children, it still arouses a childlike sense of wonder. Visitors can walk through the denim garden path and find plants hanging above them. Various plants and flowers are depicted in shades of indigo (靛蓝色). There’s even a peaceful pond at the heart of the garden, featuring denim koi fish, and a central water feature. Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it’s easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim. 4. What did Ian Berry use denim for? A. A kind of cloth for clothing. B. Covers for various portraits. C. Bags for flowers and plants. D. Materials for his works of art. 5. What’s the aim of the Secret Garden show? A. To raise children’s awareness of nature. B. To get children in New York interested in art. C. To tell the great use of denim in daily life. D. To explain how to recycle denim jeans. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Children’s lack of nature knowledge. B. People’s confusion about Berry’s art. C. Motivation of Berry’s artistic creation. D. Process of plant of different periods. 7. What is the characteristic of the show described in the last paragraph? A. Costly. B. Complicated. C. Abstract. D. Lifelike. C Enjoying a juicy watermelon is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, particularly when you don’t have to avoid any seeds. Indeed, humans have adapted many fruits to be seedless in search of a more pleasant eating experience. The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation (随机的基因突变) produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. Cuttings of the branch were joined to other trees, and today, all of the world’s navel oranges are copies of this original. A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. Even if some combinations don’t pan out, researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents. Lastly, because the purpose of fruit is to draw animals near to help spread their seeds, the production of fruits without fertilization (受精) may ultimately allow trees to produce more fruit at a lower energetic cost if they don’t need to make seeds, too. Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. There are very few, if any, wild navel oranges, and yet it’s estimated that California will produce 76 million cartons of them this year alone. “My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them,” Smith told Live Science. “And we will never stop eating watermelons, and being able to make seedless ones just means we eat more watermelons.” 8. What is the similarity between the orange and grape mentioned in the text? A. Being native to ancient Rome. B. Being seedless due to genetic change. C. Being grown from seeds rather than cuttings. D. Being joined to other plants for a sweeter taste. 9. What does the underlined phrase “pan out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Die out. B. Fall through. C. Come apart. D. Work out. 10. Why is the existence of seedless fruits considered a thought experiment? A. It contributes to the balance of nature. B. People still have doubts regarding seedless fruits. C. It inspires thinking on natural selection and human activity. D. Seedless fruits have a high demand but limited production. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Hybridization: The Key to Seedless Fruits’ Success B. Seedless Fruits: A Human-Aided Evolutionary Wonder C. The Journey of Seedless Fruits: From Mutation to Market D. Genetic Mutations: The Only Way to Create Seedless Fruits D Imagine the roadways where nearly all serious accidents can be avoided, and trucks can transport goods around the clock without needing to stop for sleep. Applications for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will replace the average human reaction time, lowering it from 1.6 seconds to just 0.5 seconds, saving countless lives in the process. The driverless future of autonomous vehicles (AV) is set to transform society by reinventing (重塑) the transportation industry and changing consumer behaviors forever. Yet, the share of consumers who support government regulation of fully self-driving cars has declined 15% over the past year, and trust in the safety of autonomous vehicles is down 5%. To address these ongoing safety concerns, more must be done. Autonomous vehicles should not be regulated by the same rules that govern standard passenger vehicles because those regulations do not address the unique safety challenges for AVs. To address these concerns, the industry will need to continue building public trust through the improved performance of AV systems, especially in controlled environments. Reaching a totally hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving experience will require a range of next-generation technologies that are still being developed. Automakers will continue to increase the safety of autonomous vehicles by applying new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the performance of sensors that use radio and light waves to help detect road users in all weather conditions. The technical brain of an AV system relies on software systems that actively protect passengers. As this market grows, costs will steadily fall for these new sensors and high-performance computers, just as safety standards continue to progress around the country and the world. To help build confidence in AVs, the industry will need to generate a common set of testing standards, similar to crash safety standards, that AV developers can evaluate their systems against. As autonomous driving evolves, the road to a driverless future still holds many twists and turns ahead. It should be an exciting and wild ride for years to come as the auto industry reinvents itself with ever-increasing levels of automation. 12.

She looked all around her in the huge building that seemed to be filled with thousands of people. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. She was very excited, or rather just a little nervous. She hugged her favorite doll tight. That made her feel better. She walked down the narrow aisle of the plane to find her seat with her parents. The tall flight attendant smiled at her and asked where they were going. “A world-famous entertainment resort,” Anika said with a smile. “I think so,” replied the flight attendant. “Most of the families on this flight are headed that way.” She pointed to her name tag. “I'm Leanne. Let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.” “Thanks. I'm Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her. “Nice to meet you both,” replied Leanne. The flight was a few hours so she read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and bored too. Anika’s mom suggested she get some sleep, asking for a pillow and a blanket. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived! She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her mother and father were busy packing up. They picked up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from the passengers. “Bye, maybe I will see you next week on your return flight home,” Leanne said and waved goodbye to Anika and the other passengers as they left the plane. As Leanne shook out the blankets she had gathered from the seats, the flight attendant was surprised when a doll fell out onto the floor. She picked it up and recognized it as the doll young Anika had shown her. 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。 With duties to complete, she couldn’t run after the family and return it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, when she boarded the plane, Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
