Around the same time, they sold their house and we decided to build them a bungalow (平房) in our garden. We moved them in with us temporarily until the new house was finished. Packing up my parents’ house felt like a massive goodbye — that bedroom, those childhood memories, the sense of safety and shelter I had enjoyed there all my life. That evening, I sat alone in the empty living room, buried in deep nostalgia. Even though I was a middle-aged woman with my own kids, I felt terribly frightened about losing the permanent home I could always return to. On our final morning in the old house, we stopped the endless packing work and shared our last family breakfast there. Mum sighed that the house looked cold and weird without any furniture left. Anxiety flooded over me. I kept worrying that my parents would sooner or later regret selling their lifelong house and feel uncomfortable living together under one roof with our big family. Curious about Dad’s true feelings, I turned to him and asked quietly. He paused for a while, sipping his tea slowly, then smiled and answered gently, “Well, it’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?” I let out a long sigh of relief. I had prepared myself for sadness, hesitation or complaint, yet my father was already looking forward to the days ahead instead of clinging tightly to the past. Gradually, a new understanding dawned on me. Moving together did not mean the loss of my old home and sweet memories. Instead, it opened up a warm new journey of three generations living together, bound closely by endless family love. 4. Why did the author feel upset while packing her parents’ house? A.

That evening, I sat alone in the empty living room, buried in deep nostalgia. Even though I was a middle-aged woman with my own kids, I felt terribly frightened about losing the permanent home I could always return to.(收拾父母房子的过程，仿佛是一场盛大的告别 —— 那间卧室、那些儿时回忆，还有我一辈子都在那里体会到的安稳与归属感。那天傍晚，我独自坐在空荡荡的客厅里，满心都是怀旧的情绪。尽管我已是一名有孩子的中年妇女，可一想到要失去那个我永远可以回去的归宿，我就惶恐不已。)”可知，作者收拾父母房子时心烦，是害怕失去自己的精神家园。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I kept worrying that my parents would sooner or later regret selling their lifelong house and feel uncomfortable living together under one roof with our big family.(我一直担心父母迟早会后悔卖掉住了一辈子的房子，和我们一大家子同住一个屋檐下会感到不自在。)”可知，作者最初对多代同堂的生活持怀疑态度。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He paused for a while, sipping his tea slowly, then smiled and answered gently, “Well, it’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?”(他停顿片刻，慢慢抿着茶，然后微笑着温和地答道：“嗯，这不是很棒吗？”)”以及第五段中“I had prepared myself for sadness, hesitation or complaint, yet my father was already looking forward to the days ahead instead of clinging tightly to the past.(我做好了面对悲伤、犹豫或是抱怨的心理准备，可父亲早已憧憬未来的日子，而不是紧紧沉溺于过去。)”可知，父亲对未来的家庭生活持乐观态度。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第五段中“Moving together did not mean the loss of my old home and sweet memories. Instead, it opened up a warm new journey of three generations living together, bound closely by endless family love.(搬到一起并不意味着旧家与美好回忆的消逝。相反，它开启了三代人同住，被无尽亲情紧紧维系的温暖新旅程。)”可知，文章旨在告诉我们要拥抱生活的改变，珍惜亲情。 C Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”. The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan. People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %. Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16–24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control. The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain. 8. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1? A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation 9. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study? A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades. B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress. C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily. D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk. 10. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Evaluated. B. Created C. Published. D. Collected. 11. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”? A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly. C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“爆米花大脑”这一现象的定义、成因、危害以及对应的改善方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.(想象一下，你正在准备课堂展示，突然想起自己忘了喂猫。你拿起手机想给妈妈发消息，一条广告却弹了出来：“你最爱的品牌，五折优惠！” 你点进去之后就一发不可收拾，十分钟后，你已经看完了各种评论、装满了购物车，差点错过自己的展示环节。这种现象被称为 “爆米花大脑”。)”可知，作者通过设想一个具体的生活场景举例，引出“爆米花大脑”这一话题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %. (加州大学研究员格洛丽亚・马克，借助静音屏幕记录仪和心率监测带，对 2000 名美国上班族与学生开展了一项为期 20 年的注意力相关研究。2004 年，人们专注于单一任务的平均时长为 2.5 分钟；到 2020 年，这一数字降至 47 秒。心率数据显示，每多切换一次任务，压力荷尔蒙的水平就会上升约 7%。)”可知，频繁切换任务可能会增加精神压力。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. (Data Reportal 2024年的报告____了来自40个国家130万用户的屏幕使用时长记录，并找到了进一步的证据。)”可知，报告要获取证据，需要先收集大量用户的相关数据。因此“pooled”的意思应为“收集”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. (后续试验验证的解决办法很简单：设定明确的科技使用界限。推荐的策略包括限制每日屏幕使用时长、关闭非必要通知，以及设置无科技产品的时段或区域。)”可知，设置无设备区域可以预防“爆米花大脑”。故选A项。 D Over the last 1,400 years, populations of the Yangtze finless porpoise have dramatically declined in China. But intensive surveys of its range only span the last couple of decades, leaving lots of gaps in scientists’ knowledge of the species. In a creative blend of art and science, a new study uses historical poetry to chart the critically endangered animal’s population across the river it calls home. The finless porpoises once lived throughout the entire Yangtze River, which stretches from the Tibetan Plateau to the East China Sea. Now, the only known freshwater porpoise in the world has fewer than 1,800 individuals left in the wild. The research team combed through databases of Chinese poetry to find references to the porpoise and map its past distribution. They found 724 poems that mentioned the animal, of which half noted where the porpoises were observed. Their findings were published in Current Biology. “Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and correlate those changes with potential threats like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, disease or the introduction of invasive species,” says lead author Zhang Yaoyao, an ecologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The poems suggest the porpoise’s range has decreased by 65% since the Tang dynasty. Most of that decline happened in the river’s tributaries and lakes, where the animal’s range has decreased by 91%. While the population decrease was mostly gradual, the sharpest decline has occurred over the past 100 years. That sudden drop aligns with human activities on the river, especially dam construction in the 1950s that blocked off the porpoise's movement to and from the river's main channel. The work highlights the connection between culture and science. “Poems are actually ancient citizen science, and many Chinese poets were ‘well-educated intellectuals’,” says Zhang. “These data are not perfect...But they do have a lot of information if you use them correctly.” This approach has potential for uncovering the pasts of other endangered species as well. Previously, scholars have used medieval and ancient texts to understand things like volcanic eruptions, auroras and unusual whales. 12. What challenge do scientists face in their research about the porpoise? A. Its population has dropped off dramatically. B. Locating its habitats is increasingly difficult. C. The long-term historical data are insufficient. D. Its population is hard to calculate precisely. 13. What mainly contributed to the dramatic fall of the porpoise’s populations? A. Poor resistance to diseases. B. Climate changes over time. C. Human impacts on its habitats. D. Competition with other species. 14. Why does the author mention “volcanic eruptions” in the last paragraph? A. To show major threats to endangered wildlife. B. To introduce challenges in ecological research. C. To reveal the wisdom of ancient Chinese poets. D. To prove the value of ancient texts in research. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Historical Poems: Records of Ancient Chinese Wildlife B. citizen Science: A New Approach to Protecting Animals C. The Yangtze Finless Porpoise: A Critically Endangered Species D. Ancient Poetry: A Creative Way to Study Endangered Porpoise 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家通过研究中国历史诗歌来追踪长江江豚的种群变化，揭示了其数量大幅下降的原因，并强调了这种跨学科研究方法的创新性和潜在应用价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But intensive surveys of its range only span the last couple of decades, leaving lots of gaps in scientists' knowledge of the species. (但对其活动范围的密集调查仅覆盖了过去几十年，科学家对该物种的了解存在许多空白)”可知，科学家在研究长江江豚时面临的主要挑战是长期历史数据的不足。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“That sudden drop aligns with human activities on the river, especially dam construction in the 1950s that blocked off the porpoise's movement to and from the river's main channel. (这一突然下降与河流上的人类活动相吻合，特别是20世纪50年代的水坝建设，阻碍了江豚进出主河道的活动)”可知，人类活动对江豚栖息地的影响是导致其数量急剧下降的主要原因。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This approach has potential for uncovering the pasts of other endangered species as well. Previously, scholars have used medieval and ancient texts to understand things like volcanic eruptions, auroras and unusual whales. (这种方法也有可能揭示其他濒危物种的过去。此前，学者们曾利用中世纪和古代文献来了解火山爆发、极光和异常鲸鱼等现象)”可推知，作者提到“火山爆发”是为了证明古代文献在研究中的价值，说明这种方法不仅适用于江豚，还可以用于其他领域的研究。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a creative blend of art and science, a new study uses historical poetry to chart the critically endangered animal's population across the river it calls home. (在一项艺术与科学的创造性结合中，一项新的研究利用历史诗歌来描绘这种极度濒危动物在其家园河流中的种群分布)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了科学家通过研究中国历史诗歌来追踪长江江豚的种群变化，揭示了其数量大幅下降的原因，并强调了这种跨学科研究方法的创新性和潜在应用价值。由此可知，D项“Ancient Poetry: A Creative Way to Study Endangered Porpoise (古诗：研究濒危江豚的一种创造性方法)”最符合文章主旨，适合作标题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping to improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation. ____16____ While yoga burns fewer calories than high-intensity cardio, it still lifts your heart rate and builds muscle.

Jerry worked as a service manager at a local car dealer, while Jim served as a police officer. Both were buried in heavy work all year round, leaving little spare time to stay with me. Deep down, I felt ignored and there was a distant gap between us. My family lived a simple life and I mostly wore hand-me-downs from my elder sister, which gradually made me quiet and timid. Though no one around me looked down on me, I could not shake off my inner lack of self-confidence. I was always hesitant to show myself in public, wishing I could stay unnoticed most of the time. One day, the teacher casually passed out ring order forms for the 100th anniversary of the school’s founding. There were two choices: a beautiful and well-designed ring named Premium for $149, or an ordinary-looking one called Lustrium for $49. Without even asking my parents, I knew I would be the only student ordering a Lustrium ring. “I can’t wait to see how the Premium ring looks on my finger,” the girl next to me said. “Are you getting the same too?” “I’m not sure,” I said. “I need to ask my parents.” After school, I showed my mom the form. “I really like the Premium ring. It looks more beautiful.” I told her. “A Lustrium ring is enough.” My mom refused at once. The following days, the Lustrium ring order hung over me like a cloud. “No one cares about me. No one cares what I want.” I thought to myself. I attended school dances and football games, feeling like an outsider. I moved through those days alone, invisible to everyone. Finally, on the morning of the ceremony, my mother handed me a small box. “This came for you,” she said. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I opened the box and stared at what was inside, shocked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the ceremony, I found my brothers in the crowd. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I opened the box and stared at what was inside, shocked. It was the shiny Premium ring that I had longed for those days. ‌I could hardly believe my eyes and rubbed the ring surface gently with my fingertips.‌ Mom smiled and told me that my two elder brothers had learned about my wish and shared the money to buy it for me. I touched the cool metal on my finger, and my eyes got wet. The ring was not just a small gift, but a warm sign that they had always noticed my quiet feelings. After the ceremony, I found my brothers in the crowd. ‌They were holding a small bouquet of sunflowers that I loved for a long time.‌ Jerry waved at me and pointed at the ring on my finger, while Jim gave me a big hug. They said they were sorry for being too busy before and promised that they would spend more time with me later. That day I knew the distant gap between us was gone, and I finally felt I was a loved little sister that would never be ignored again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者是家中最小的孩子，两个哥哥工作繁忙无暇陪伴，作者长期穿姐姐旧衣，内心自卑敏感。学校百年纪念戒指订购时，作者想要更贵的款式却被母亲拒绝，感到被忽视。直到典礼当天早上，母亲递给她一个小盒子。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写作者看到戒指的反应、得知是两个哥哥凑钱买的真相，再写戒指带给作者的内心触动。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写作者和哥哥们见面的互动场景，他们的道歉与陪伴承诺，最后点出兄妹隔阂消解、作者收获被爱的归属感的温暖结局。 2.续写线索：打开礼盒见惊喜戒指——得知哥哥们悄悄凑钱圆梦——内心积攒的自卑慢慢融化——典礼散场后找到两位哥哥——兄妹间坦诚倾诉过往心意——隔阂消散收获满满的亲情暖意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①轻轻摩挲：rub gently/stroke softly ②拥抱某人：give sb. a big hug/hug sb. 情绪类 ①难以置信：could hardly believe one’s eyes /can’t believe ②眼眶湿润：one’s eyes get wet/one’s tears well up 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mom smiled and told me that my two elder brothers had learned about my wish and shared the money to buy it for me.

B After we had twins and became a family of five, my husband and I decided to move from London back to Yorkshire, to be closer to my parents. Around the same time, they sold their house and we decided to build them a bungalow (平房) in our garden. We moved them in with us temporarily until the new house was finished. Packing up my parents’ house felt like a massive goodbye — that bedroom, those childhood memories, the sense of safety and shelter I had enjoyed there all my life. That evening, I sat alone in the empty living room, buried in deep nostalgia. Even though I was a middle-aged woman with my own kids, I felt terribly frightened about losing the permanent home I could always return to. On our final morning in the old house, we stopped the endless packing work and shared our last family breakfast there. Mum sighed that the house looked cold and weird without any furniture left. Anxiety flooded over me. I kept worrying that my parents would sooner or later regret selling their lifelong house and feel uncomfortable living together under one roof with our big family. Curious about Dad’s true feelings, I turned to him and asked quietly. He paused for a while, sipping his tea slowly, then smiled and answered gently, “Well, it’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?” I let out a long sigh of relief. I had prepared myself for sadness, hesitation or complaint, yet my father was already looking forward to the days ahead instead of clinging tightly to the past. Gradually, a new understanding dawned on me. Moving together did not mean the loss of my old home and sweet memories. Instead, it opened up a warm new journey of three generations living together, bound closely by endless family love. 4. Why did the author feel upset while packing her parents’ house? A.

He had no affection for the old house at all. B. He preferred living alone rather than staying with children. C. He held an optimistic view of the future family life. D.

Learn to embrace life changes and cherish family affection. C. It is tough for the elderly to adapt to group family life. D. Nostalgic feelings always bring people anxiety and pain. C Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”. The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan. People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %. Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16–24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control. The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain. 8. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1? A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation 9. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study? A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades. B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress. C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily. D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk. 10. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Evaluated. B. Created C. Published. D. Collected. 11. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”? A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly. C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly. D Over the last 1,400 years, populations of the Yangtze finless porpoise have dramatically declined in China. But intensive surveys of its range only span the last couple of decades, leaving lots of gaps in scientists’ knowledge of the species. In a creative blend of art and science, a new study uses historical poetry to chart the critically endangered animal’s population across the river it calls home. The finless porpoises once lived throughout the entire Yangtze River, which stretches from the Tibetan Plateau to the East China Sea. Now, the only known freshwater porpoise in the world has fewer than 1,800 individuals left in the wild. The research team combed through databases of Chinese poetry to find references to the porpoise and map its past distribution. They found 724 poems that mentioned the animal, of which half noted where the porpoises were observed. Their findings were published in Current Biology. “Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and correlate those changes with potential threats like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, disease or the introduction of invasive species,” says lead author Zhang Yaoyao, an ecologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The poems suggest the porpoise’s range has decreased by 65% since the Tang dynasty. Most of that decline happened in the river’s tributaries and lakes, where the animal’s range has decreased by 91%. While the population decrease was mostly gradual, the sharpest decline has occurred over the past 100 years. That sudden drop aligns with human activities on the river, especially dam construction in the 1950s that blocked off the porpoise's movement to and from the river's main channel. The work highlights the connection between culture and science. “Poems are actually ancient citizen science, and many Chinese poets were ‘well-educated intellectuals’,” says Zhang. “These data are not perfect...But they do have a lot of information if you use them correctly.” This approach has potential for uncovering the pasts of other endangered species as well. Previously, scholars have used medieval and ancient texts to understand things like volcanic eruptions, auroras and unusual whales. 12. What challenge do scientists face in their research about the porpoise? A. Its population has dropped off dramatically. B. Locating its habitats is increasingly difficult. C. The long-term historical data are insufficient. D. Its population is hard to calculate precisely. 13. What mainly contributed to the dramatic fall of the porpoise’s populations? A.

Jerry worked as a service manager at a local car dealer, while Jim served as a police officer. Both were buried in heavy work all year round, leaving little spare time to stay with me. Deep down, I felt ignored and there was a distant gap between us. My family lived a simple life and I mostly wore hand-me-downs from my elder sister, which gradually made me quiet and timid. Though no one around me looked down on me, I could not shake off my inner lack of self-confidence. I was always hesitant to show myself in public, wishing I could stay unnoticed most of the time. One day, the teacher casually passed out ring order forms for the 100th anniversary of the school’s founding. There were two choices: a beautiful and well-designed ring named Premium for $149, or an ordinary-looking one called Lustrium for $49. Without even asking my parents, I knew I would be the only student ordering a Lustrium ring. “I can’t wait to see how the Premium ring looks on my finger,” the girl next to me said. “Are you getting the same too?” “I’m not sure,” I said. “I need to ask my parents.” After school, I showed my mom the form. “I really like the Premium ring. It looks more beautiful.” I told her. “A Lustrium ring is enough.” My mom refused at once. The following days, the Lustrium ring order hung over me like a cloud. “No one cares about me. No one cares what I want.” I thought to myself. I attended school dances and football games, feeling like an outsider. I moved through those days alone, invisible to everyone. Finally, on the morning of the ceremony, my mother handed me a small box. “This came for you,” she said. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I opened the box and stared at what was inside, shocked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the ceremony, I found my brothers in the crowd. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
