Are you satisfied with it, or would you wish for something more? For many, the relationship with their parents is not perfect, and it may even feel distant (疏远的). I once hoped that my parents would be my best friends—people I could talk to openly, share my thoughts with, and have meaningful discussions with. However, the reality was very different. Our relationship was often filled with shouting and misunderstandings. We hardly had calm, meaningful conversations. Instead, there were months when we didn’t talk at all because there was nothing to say. For many years, from my teenage years to my late twenties, this was my reality. But things began to change when I decided to make an effort (努力) to improve the relationship. Now, at 30, my relationship with my parents has improved greatly. We communicate openly, without anger, and show concern for each other in a way that feels natural. Improving the relationship with your parents takes time. It is not a quick fix. When I first started, my efforts and apology(道歉) seemed pointless. For example, when I tried to hold my mom into my arms, she pushed me away. My dad didn’t give me a love sign. But I didn’t give up. I realized that improving a relationship is not about fixing a single argument; it’s about repairing years of misunderstandings and miscommunications. To truly improve your relationship with your parents, understand that it’s a long journey. It will not happen overnight, and you may not see results immediately. In my case, it took years of efforts. I had to show my parents that I had changed, not through words, but through actions. They slowly began to react (做出回应), but the process was slow and required patience. So, if you’re facing problems with your parents, remember that it’s normal. Start by seeing the situation as a long journey. It may not be easy, but if you keep trying and give it time, your relationship can get better. Be patient and stick to the process. 4. What was the author’s early relationship with her parents like? A. Terrible. B. Peaceful. C. Special. D. Close. 5. How did the author’s parents first react to her efforts? A. They accepted them warmly. B. They paid little attention to them. C. They were surprised and moved. D. They apologized for their misunderstandings. 6. What may the author consider most important in improving the parent-child relationship? A. Making apologies. B. Open conversations. C. Understanding each other. D. Long-term efforts and patience. 7. Why does the author write the text? A. To look back on the past. B. To give thanks to her parents. C. To offer suggestions to others. D. To describe a common social problem. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了作者曾与父母关系紧张，充满争吵与隔阂，后通过长期持续努力，逐步改善了亲子关系，通过这件事，作者建议面临类似问题的读者以耐心和坚持应对。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Our relationship was often filled with shouting and misunderstandings. We hardly had calm, meaningful conversations. Instead, there were months when we didn’t talk at all because there was nothing to say.(我们的关系常常充斥着争吵和误解。我们几乎没有进行过平和且有意义的交流。相反，有好几个月我们甚至完全不说话，因为根本没有什么可说的了)”可知，作者早年与父母的关系充满争吵、误解，甚至长期不沟通，这是糟糕的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“When I first started, my efforts and apology(道歉) seemed pointless. For example, when I tried to hold my mom into my arms, she pushed me away. My dad didn’t give me a love sign.(刚开始的时候，我的努力和道歉似乎都毫无意义。比如，当我试图把妈妈抱进怀里时，她却把我推开。而我的父亲也没有给我任何爱的暗示)”可知，作者最初努力改善关系时，父母对她的努力不重视。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“In my case, it took years of efforts. I had to show my parents that I had changed, not through words, but through actions.(就我而言，这需要多年的努力。我必须向父母证明我已经有所改变，不是通过言语，而是通过实际行动来体现)”及最后一段“Start by seeing the situation as a long journey. It may not be easy, but if you keep trying and give it time, your relationship can get better. Be patient and stick to the process.(首先将这种状况视为一段漫长的旅程。这或许并不容易，但只要你坚持不懈并给予足够的时间，你们的关系是能够得到改善的。要保持耐心，坚持下去)”可知，作者认为，改善亲子关系的关键在于持续采取行动，并且要有持久的耐心。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，首先，作者提出多数人与父母的关系并非完美这一普遍情况；接着分享了自己的经历；最后，作者以此为据，建议面临亲子关系问题的人：这类问题很正常，改善关系是长期过程，需保持耐心、坚持努力，才能让关系变得更好。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是提供关于亲子关系的建议。故选C。 C Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze (分析) animal sounds — as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex (复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal. “AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.” “Why would a bat want to speak to you?” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other. “We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者). Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Gašper Beguš, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it. When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well. 8. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. We will find ways to talk with animals. B. We can share our language with animals. C. We can tell the complex animal behavior. D. We need conduct more research on animals. 9. What does Bakker think of fully understanding animals’ language? A. Costly. B. Difficult. C. Harmful. D. Worthless. 10. How can we protect the animals effectively according to paragraph 3? A. By learning about their needs. B. By setting up shelters for them. C. By mapping out their locations. D. By living peacefully with them. 11. Which statement would Herzing probably agree with? A. Protecting nature means saving ourselves. B. Animal translators should be created for protection. C. Animals’ culture requires a healthy natural world to develop. D. Short-term and long-term goals for conservation need to be set. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能可能会找到人类与动物交谈的方法。但是专家表示我们应该了解动物的需求来有效地保护动物。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex (复杂的) animal sounds into human language. (有一天我们将能够使用AI构建一个聊天框，将复杂的动物声音翻译成人类语言)”可知，从第一段我们可以推断出我们将找到与动物交谈的方法。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term, (人工智能最终可以让我们了解动物，但这很难处理，而且是长期的)”可知，Bakke认为完全理解动物的语言是很难的。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,(我们应该倾听大自然的声音，询问动物的需求，以便更好地保护它们)”可知，我们通过了解他们的需求来有效地保护动物。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well.(海洋生物学家Denise Herzing表示，动物应该有一个健康的环境，这样它们的文化才能健康发展)”可知，Herzing认为动物文化需要一个健康的自然世界来发展。故选C。 D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However, Western healthcare systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U. S. healthcare system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U. S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary —because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15% of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 12. What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. C. It has educated people about the prevention of heart disease. D. It has drawn public attention to the cause of the heart disease. 13. Which of the following statement would the author probably agree with? A. More money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease. B. Heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions. C. Modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before. D. The public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease. 14. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Burn up. B. Take in. C. Settle for. D. Get back. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greatest Killer in the West. B. Heart Surgery: Benefits and Risks. C. New Technology and Heart Surgery. D. Heart Disease: Treatment or Prevention? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西方医疗体系关于心脏病预防和治疗的情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U. S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.(在这段时间里，现代技术使医生能够开发新的外科技术。许多几年前被认为不可能或风险太大的手术，现在在美国的医院里每天都在进行。其结果是心脏手术的数量大幅增加)”可知，现代科技对医学的影响是它鼓励医生做更多的心脏手术。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, Western healthcare systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U. S. healthcare system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years.(然而，西方的医疗保健系统仍然没有对这种疾病的预防给予足够的重视。需要有更多的项目来教育公众关于心脏病的起因和预防。然而，美国的医疗保健系统没有支持这些项目，而是在疾病发展后的手术治疗上花费了大量资金。这种对治疗的强调显然与过去10到15年间发生的技术进步有关)”可推知，作者可能会同意的观点是应该花更多的钱在预防心脏病上。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery…(在医院购买了昂贵的现代心脏手术设备后……)”以及下一句“To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.(为了做到这一点，他们提高了所有病人的费用，而不仅仅是那些治疗需要设备的病人)”可知，此处为他们必须设法收回他们所花的钱。由此可知，划线单词recover为“回收”的意思，和D选项Get back“收回”意思一致。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“However, Western healthcare systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease.(然而，西方的医疗保健系统仍然没有对这种疾病的预防给予足够的重视。需要有更多的项目来教育公众关于心脏病的起因和预防)”可知，文章主要讲的是西方医疗体系关于的心脏病预防和治疗的情况。由此可知，Heart Disease: Treatment or Prevention?(心脏病：治疗还是预防？)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading is a basic skill that opens doors to knowledge, imagination, and personal growth.____16____Children learn new words, adults reduce stress and the elderly has a sense of satisfaction through reading.

Sneha’s class teacher, Pravina, asked Sneha, her favorite student, to play the leading character in a play. Because she was never allowed to play a male character, Sneha jumped with joy, but suddenly she became so serious about the costumes (戏服). “How many times I have to tell you not to participate in plays and dances! Can’t you understand that we can’t buy or borrow the costly costume? You can take part in debates, quizes, or essay competitions in which you don’t have to spend money and you can enrich your knowledge,” her mother said angrily when Sneha told her about it. The reason behind all this was their financial condition. Sneha always had an idea about it in her home and she was mature enough to say NO to any money demanding condition. This time, however, the desire of fame and the excitement of the activity were overcoming her fear. Sneha went in her room hiding her sadness deep in her heart. She was so nervous about what was going to happen when she would tell Pravina about leaving the play. Would she warn her not to allow her in any competition? Now it was clear that she had to leave the play. The next day, downhearted Sneha acted like nothing had happened and got ready for school. Her mom ordered her to say NO for the play. Sneha always loved Pravina because whenever there was a play or dance, the girls did not need to be worried about anything related with money. She would find a way to help. But Sneha didn’t want to tell her the truth. Paragraph l: Sneha went to the teacher,“I don’t want to take part in the play and I’m leaving.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Pravina stood patiently, waiting for the performance to begin. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Sneha went to the teacher, “I don’t want to take part in the play and I’m leaving.” Her voice was so determined that Pravina wondered why she had such a change in her attitude. “Mum says I can learn more if I take part in a debate,” she looked away, trying to hide her unwillingness. Soon, Pravina made out what really was shouting in Sneha’s deep heart. With a smile on her face, Pravina promised not only could she perform in the play but she would get the chance to join in the debate. She offered a hand to her, saying there happened to be a costume at home which could be lent to her. Excited secretly, she knew she was going to attend the show. Pravina stood patiently, waiting for the performance to begin. She was waiting for the precious moment when Sneha appeared in the costume she bought for Sneha’s dream. As the light faded out, the lead role came on stage and caught the attention of all the audience. Confident and brave, she vividly brought the character to life. Everyone cheered and applauded when the show ended as Sneha’s first male character turned out a big success. When Sneha was ready to give back the costume to Pravina, she was told to keep it as a reminder of not easily letting go of dreams. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。Sneha的班主任老师Pravin要求Sneha在一部戏里扮演主要男性角色，但是由于购买或者租赁戏服的经济问题，母亲不同意她参加这次演出，并强烈要求她拒绝Pravin的邀请。她向Pravin提出不参演这次的演出。看出Sneha的心思之后，Pravin表示可以拿家里的戏服给她用。最后演出获得了成功。当Sneha要将戏服还给Pravin时，Pravin将戏服送给她，提醒她不要轻易放弃梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Sneha对老师说:“我不想参加这个戏了，我要离开。”可知，第一段可描写Sneha拒绝老师的邀请，老师看穿后，表示可以借给她戏服。 ②由第二段首句内容“Pravin耐心地站着，等待演出开始。”可知，第二段可描写演出获得成功，Pravin将戏服赠予她留作纪念。 2.续写线索：拒绝邀请——明白真相——提供帮助——表演开始——表演成功——赠予戏服 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.掩盖：hide/cover up/conceal ②.归还：go back/return 情绪类 ①.不情愿：unwillingness/reluctance ②.兴奋：excited/trilled 【点睛】[高分句型1].Her voice was so determined that Pravina wondered why she had such a change in her attitude.（由连接词so…that…引导结果状语从句和why引导宾语从句） [高分句型2].Confident and brave, she vividly brought the character to life.（运用了形容词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 泉州科技中学2025-2026学年度 第一学期高一年期中考试 英语试卷 命题教师：高二备课组 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

For many, the relationship with their parents is not perfect, and it may even feel distant (疏远的). I once hoped that my parents would be my best friends—people I could talk to openly, share my thoughts with, and have meaningful discussions with. However, the reality was very different. Our relationship was often filled with shouting and misunderstandings. We hardly had calm, meaningful conversations. Instead, there were months when we didn’t talk at all because there was nothing to say. For many years, from my teenage years to my late twenties, this was my reality. But things began to change when I decided to make an effort (努力) to improve the relationship. Now, at 30, my relationship with my parents has improved greatly. We communicate openly, without anger, and show concern for each other in a way that feels natural. Improving the relationship with your parents takes time. It is not a quick fix. When I first started, my efforts and apology(道歉) seemed pointless. For example, when I tried to hold my mom into my arms, she pushed me away. My dad didn’t give me a love sign. But I didn’t give up. I realized that improving a relationship is not about fixing a single argument; it’s about repairing years of misunderstandings and miscommunications. To truly improve your relationship with your parents, understand that it’s a long journey. It will not happen overnight, and you may not see results immediately. In my case, it took years of efforts. I had to show my parents that I had changed, not through words, but through actions. They slowly began to react (做出回应), but the process was slow and required patience. So, if you’re facing problems with your parents, remember that it’s normal. Start by seeing the situation as a long journey. It may not be easy, but if you keep trying and give it time, your relationship can get better. Be patient and stick to the process. 4. What was the author’s early relationship with her parents like? A. Terrible. B. Peaceful. C. Special. D. Close. 5. How did the author’s parents first react to her efforts? A. They accepted them warmly. B. They paid little attention to them. C. They were surprised and moved. D. They apologized for their misunderstandings. 6. What may the author consider most important in improving the parent-child relationship? A. Making apologies. B. Open conversations. C. Understanding each other. D. Long-term efforts and patience. 7. Why does the author write the text? A. To look back on the past. B. To give thanks to her parents. C. To offer suggestions to others. D. To describe a common social problem. C Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze (分析) animal sounds — as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex (复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal. “AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.” “Why would a bat want to speak to you?” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other. “We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者). Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Gašper Beguš, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it. When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well. 8. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. We will find ways to talk with animals. B. We can share our language with animals. C. We can tell the complex animal behavior. D. We need conduct more research on animals. 9. What does Bakker think of fully understanding animals’ language? A. Costly. B. Difficult. C. Harmful. D. Worthless. 10. How can we protect the animals effectively according to paragraph 3? A. By learning about their needs. B. By setting up shelters for them. C. By mapping out their locations. D. By living peacefully with them. 11. Which statement would Herzing probably agree with? A. Protecting nature means saving ourselves. B. Animal translators should be created for protection. C. Animals’ culture requires a healthy natural world to develop. D. Short-term and long-term goals for conservation need to be set. D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However, Western healthcare systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U. S. healthcare system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U. S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary —because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15% of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 12. What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. C. It has educated people about the prevention of heart disease. D. It has drawn public attention to the cause of the heart disease. 13.

Heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions. C. Modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before. D. The public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease. 14. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Burn up. B. Take in. C. Settle for. D. Get back. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greatest Killer in the West. B. Heart Surgery: Benefits and Risks. C. New Technology and Heart Surgery. D.

Sneha’s class teacher, Pravina, asked Sneha, her favorite student, to play the leading character in a play. Because she was never allowed to play a male character, Sneha jumped with joy, but suddenly she became so serious about the costumes (戏服). “How many times I have to tell you not to participate in plays and dances! Can’t you understand that we can’t buy or borrow the costly costume? You can take part in debates, quizes, or essay competitions in which you don’t have to spend money and you can enrich your knowledge,” her mother said angrily when Sneha told her about it. The reason behind all this was their financial condition. Sneha always had an idea about it in her home and she was mature enough to say NO to any money demanding condition. This time, however, the desire of fame and the excitement of the activity were overcoming her fear. Sneha went in her room hiding her sadness deep in her heart. She was so nervous about what was going to happen when she would tell Pravina about leaving the play. Would she warn her not to allow her in any competition? Now it was clear that she had to leave the play. The next day, downhearted Sneha acted like nothing had happened and got ready for school. Her mom ordered her to say NO for the play. Sneha always loved Pravina because whenever there was a play or dance, the girls did not need to be worried about anything related with money. She would find a way to help. But Sneha didn’t want to tell her the truth. Paragraph l: Sneha went to the teacher,“I don’t want to take part in the play and I’m leaving.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Pravina stood patiently, waiting for the performance to begin. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
