When I entered Oxford University, I wasn’t particularly interested in joining the rowing club. I just wondered what it was like to row in one of those narrow boats, so I signed up with the intention of quitting after the first session. At least that’s what I thought.
Six months later, I found myself sitting in a rowing boat with three teammates, waiting for a 2000-meter race to start. In the boat alongside us sat a crew from the university’s team, two of whom had won medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. My crew was only rowing at college level and we had only trained a few times as a team, so facing such strong athletes was quite terrifying. I tried to focus my mind on the race, not on my opponents.
Go! We pushed off with all our might and rowed as fast as we could. As we reached the halfway mark, the other crew was ahead of us. But to my amazement, we were gaining on them. If we could win the race, we would get through to the final! We pushed even harder, ignoring the pain in our legs and drawing energy from the cheers of our college friends. I could already sense the sweet taste of victory.
But then, disaster. One of my teammates lost control of his oar (桨), knocking him nearly out of the boat. We came to a sudden stop, and watched as our opponents crossed the finishing line. It was the most disappointing moment in my life. I wanted to punch my teammate who had ruined everything and push him into the water. But when I saw how angry he was with himself, I gave him a hug.
Although we lost, I’m still proud of how well we did that day facing a much stronger team. What I remember now is the thrill of racing, not the pain of defeat.
4. Why did the author join the rowing club?
A. He was fond of rowing. B. He was curious about rowing.
C. He signed with the team. D. He wanted to win the boat race.
5. How did the author feel before the race?
A. Worried. B. Amazed. C. Disappointed. D. Confused.
6. Why did they lose the game?
A. They were worn out. B. A group member made a mistake.
C. They were out of the boat. D. The opponents were too strong.
7. What lesson did the author learn from his experience?
A. Two heads are better than one. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Trying your best is the best award.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D

细节理解题。根据第二段“My crew was only rowing at college level and we had only trained a few times as a team, so facing such strong athletes was quite terrifying. I tried to focus my mind on the race, not on my opponents.(我们队伍只是大学普通水平,全队合练次数很少,面对如此强劲的选手让人十分惶恐。我努力把注意力集中在比赛上,不去想对手)”可知,赛前作者内心担忧紧张。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“But then, disaster. One of my teammates lost control of his oar (桨), knocking him nearly out of the boat. We came to a sudden stop, and watched as our opponents crossed the finishing line.(但意外发生了。我的一名队友没能控制住船桨,差点被撞出船外。我们的船骤然停下,只能眼睁睁看着对手冲过终点线)”可知,队伍输掉比赛是因为一名队员出现失误。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although we lost, I’m still proud of how well we did that day facing a much stronger team. What I remember now is the thrill of racing, not the pain of defeat.(虽然我们输了比赛,但我依然为那天面对实力远强于我们的对手时的表现感到自豪。我现在记住的是比赛带来的激动,而不是失败的痛苦)”可知,作者领悟到拼尽全力本身就是最好的收获,对应“Trying your best is the best award”。

If a scientist’s first language is not English, would it be truly difficult to publish an article in an international journal? Recent study looked at tons of scientific journals in the field of biology and found that they don’t do much to help scientists who are not native English speakers. The study found most of these journals judge articles based on how well they are written in English. This can be a problem for scientists who are not fluent in English because they have to work harder to make sure their papers can be published in international journals.
“The role of journals is huge because they can be a source of language barriers (障碍), but they also have the ability to solve many of the barriers,” says Tatsuya Amano, a biodiversity researcher. He added that though some journals have started to offer tools to help scientists whose first language is not English, such examples are still rare.”
Another study by Amano found that non-native English speakers are more likely to have their papers rejected because of writing issues compared to native English speakers. This shows that the language unfairness in journals can have serious consequences for scientists who are not native English speakers.
So apart from waiting for the journals, what can non-native scientists do? One solution is to work with other scientists from English-speaking countries. They can help to check the writing skillfully to double the possibility of being published by the international journal.
8. What do most international journals judge articles based on?
A. The nationality of the author. B. The influence of the scientists.
C. The fluency of English writing. D. The quality of the research result.
9. What does the underlined word “rejected” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Published. B. Praised. C. Refused. D. Recognized.
10. Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?
A. Work with native English scientists. B. Ask publishers for help to check errors.
C. Improve English before writing a paper. D. Practice reading and writing in daily life.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Success in the Field of Biology Study
B. Scientists Unfairly Treated by Language Issues
C. The Advantages of Publishing Papers in English
D. Scientists’ Growing Interest in Learning a Language
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了大多数国际期刊存在因为语言问题导致的不公平现象,指出与以英语为母语的人相比,非英语母语的人更有可能因为写作问题而被拒绝。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The study found most of these journals judge articles based on how well they are written in English. This can be a problem for scientists who are not fluent in English because they have to work harder to make sure their papers can be published in international journals.(研究发现,这些期刊大多根据文章的英文写作水平来评判文章。对于英语不流利的科学家来说,这可能是一个问题,因为他们必须更加努力地工作,以确保他们的论文能够在国际期刊上发表)”可知,大多数国际期刊评判文章的依据是英语写作的流畅性。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because of writing issues compared to native English speakers”以及“This shows that the language unfairness in journals can have serious consequences for scientists who are not native English speakers.(这表明,期刊上的语言不公平会对母语不是英语的科学家造成严重后果)”可知,期刊上的语言不公平会对母语不是英语的科学家造成严重后果,说明与以英语为母语的人相比,非英语母语的人更有可能因为写作问题而被拒绝。故划线词意思是“拒绝”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“One solution is to work with other scientists from English-speaking countries. They can help to check the writing skillfully to double the possibility of being published by the international journal.(一个解决方案是与其他英语国家的科学家合作。他们可以帮助你熟练地检查文章,从而使被国际期刊发表的可能性增加一倍)”可推知,最后一段建议与以英语为母语的科学家一起工作。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If a scientist’s first language is not English, would it be truly difficult to publish an article in an international journal? Recent study looked at tons of scientific journals in the field of biology and found that they don’t do much to help scientists who are not native English speakers. The study found most of these journals judge articles based on how well they are written in English. This can be a problem for scientists who are not fluent in English because they have to work harder to make sure their papers can be published in international journals.(如果一名科学家的第一语言不是英语,那么在国际期刊上发表文章真的很难吗?最近的一项研究查阅了大量生物学领域的科学期刊,发现它们对母语不是英语的科学家没有多大帮助。研究发现,这些期刊大多根据文章的英文写作水平来评判文章。对于英语不流利的科学家来说,这可能是一个问题,因为他们必须更加努力地工作,以确保他们的论文能够在国际期刊上发表)”结合文章主要说明了大多数国际期刊存在因为语言问题导致的不公平现象,指出与以英语为母语的人相比,非英语母语的人更有可能因为写作问题而被拒绝。可知,B选项“语言问题对科学家的不公平对待”最符合文章标题。故选B。

Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some research show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1,200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors, while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.
12. What does the new study mainly focus on?
A. Physical benefits of cycling. B. Challenges in middle school.
C. Mental effects of bike riding. D. Teenagers’ learning problems.
13. What did the students do in the program?
A. Take cycling classes for a week. B. Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C. Do indoor exercise to raise heart rates. D. Create questionnaires for health research.
14. What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Evidence from previous research. B. Application of the research results.
C. Limits of exercise’s mental benefits. D. Doubts over the programs’ real value.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors, while raising their heart rate and just having fun.(学生每周至少上三天骑行课,持续六周。他们在户外学习骑行安全知识、练习技巧,提升心率,享受乐趣)”可知,学生在项目中学习骑行时如何保证自身安全。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.(斯坦福大学医学院教授艾伦·赖斯说:“骑行会调动大脑多项功能。你需要运用听觉、保持平衡、辨别方向和转弯。你常常和别人一起骑行,同伴或者集体活动会带来积极影响。”)”可知,Reiss认可骑行的作用,对研究结果持支持态度。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.(尽管运动对心理健康大有裨益,但这种效果并非适用于所有人。例如,以往研究表明,十几岁女孩患上抑郁、焦虑这类心理问题的风险比男孩更高。威尔逊称,这项最新研究发现,虽然参与骑行项目后,初中女生的幸福感有所提升,但这种提升 “或许只能达到男生的基准水平”。威尔逊还指出,健康生活的其他方面同样重要。他表示,研究发现:那些没有将每日屏幕使用时长控制在最多两小时,或是睡眠达不到建议的8.5小时的青少年,幸福感的改善效果会更弱)”可知,本段主要讲述运动给心理健康带来益处存在局限性。

【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我不上学的那个夏天,我们每个周六上午都去做志愿活动,给镇上没法自己准备食物的老年人送热饭。句中时间状语是when I was sixteen years old和during the summer while I was off school,描述过去发生的经常性动作,要用一般过去时。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我不上学的那个夏天,我们每个周六上午都去做志愿活动,给镇上没法自己准备食物的老年人送热饭。设空处引导定语从句,先行词是elderly people,指代人,且关系词在从句中作主语,可用who或者that引导该从句。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:我真的很享受这次志愿经历。设空处修饰动词enjoyed,需要副词truly作状语。

【42题详解】
考查代词it的特殊用法。句意:我发现听他们的故事是很有意义的,这让我更加珍视我的祖父母。此处是find it + adj. + to do sth.的固定结构,it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这次志愿经历把我塑造成了一个善解人意的人,让我更多地为他人着想,关注他们日常的烦恼。此处泛指“一个善解人意的人”,understanding是发音以元音音素开头的单词,要用不定冠词an。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:这次志愿经历把我塑造成了一个善解人意的人,让我更多地为他人着想,关注他们日常的烦恼。worry此处意为“烦恼的事”,是可数名词,根据前面的修饰语their可知,要用复数形式worries。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这也非常特别,因为我和父亲之后会一起去吃早餐,所以除了志愿活动带来的美妙感受之外,这也是我们共度的美好珍贵时光。设空处修饰名词feeling,修饰事物要用以-ing结尾的形容词amazing,意为“令人惊叹的、美妙的”。

My Biggest Challenge in Senior High
The biggest challenge I have faced in senior high is time management. At first, I was buried in homework and extra exercises every night, leaving little time for review or rest. I often felt tired and worried about falling behind.
To solve this problem, I began to make a daily plan. I list the most important tasks first and finish them when I am most energetic. I also try to avoid wasting time on my phone during study hours. If possible, ask teachers or classmates for help when you feel stuck.
Now I can study more efficiently and still have time for exercise. I believe good habits can help us meet any challenge.

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。
It was time for the art lesson. Madam Nadirah walked to the front of the classroom carrying a big box. The box had bottles of paint and paintbrushes sticking out of it. Adam smiled. He loved art time! They always worked in groups on their projects. Maybe this time he would get to work with one of his friends. Madam Nadirah pointed to the first table and announced the group members. Adam stood up and moved to sit at the table, joining Ivan and Mya. He didn’t know anyone in the group, but he was good at making friends. He hoped this could be a fresh start. Once everyone found their group, Madam Nadirah started to hand out the materials. “Your challenge is to use these materials to make art,” she said. She put three cups on each table. Adam moved closer to look inside their cups. One cup had nutshells (坚果壳) in it, another had wooden sticks, and the last one had colorful beads (珠子). Adam felt unsure. He didn’t know what to make with these things.
“You only have time to make one project,” Madam Nadirah said. “So work together to decide what you are going to make.” Loud chatter filled the room as the groups started planning their projects. In Adam’s group, different opinions soon appeared. Mya wanted to make a tree, while Ivan imagined building a house. As they tried to explain their ideas, their voices grew louder, and impatience gradually replaced (代替) their excitement.
Neither side was willing to back down, and the disagreement became increasingly serious. They even began fighting over the cups. Adam watched his group with growing concern (担心). He didn’t want their first project together to end in anger. But they were only allowed to make one project. They couldn’t make a tree and a house. Then Adam had an idea. Maybe there was a way they could do both. “What if we make a house in a tree?” Hearing that, Mya and Ivan stopped fighting.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
To Adam’s relief, the others agreed to give his idea a try.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the end of the art lesson, Adam’s group stood back to admire their finished project.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
To Adam’s relief, the others agreed to give his idea a try. Ivan carefully built a small house with the wooden sticks, while Mya used the nutshells to make a strong tree trunk and wide branches. Adam threaded the colorful beads onto strings and hung them from the branches like bright fruits. Though their hands were covered with glue, nobody complained. They whispered suggestions to each other and laughed when a bead rolled under the chair. For the first time, they were truly working as a team.
By the end of the art lesson, Adam’s group stood back to admire their finished project. The little house sat safely among the branches, and the beads shone in the sunlight. Madam Nadirah walked over and praised their wonderful teamwork. Ivan and Mya turned to Adam and thanked him for his clever idea. Adam felt proud. He realized that disagreement did not have to end in anger. With patience and creativity, different ideas could create something even more beautiful.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述美术课上,老师安排Adam、Ivan和Mya为一组,利用坚果壳、木棍和彩珠共同创作一件作品。Mya想做树,Ivan想做房子,两人争执互不相让,Adam想出一个两全的主意:制作树上小屋,化解了矛盾。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写组员接纳Adam的想法,三人分工合作,一起动手制作树上小屋,配合默契。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写作品完成后,大家欣赏成品,老师表扬他们的团队合作,Adam感悟不同想法可以融合创造美好事物。
2. 续写线索:接纳想法——分工制作——协作创作——欣赏成品——获得称赞——感悟道理
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①搭建:build/construct/put up
②称赞:praise/compliment/speak highly of
情绪类

When I entered Oxford University, I wasn’t particularly interested in joining the rowing club. I just wondered what it was like to row in one of those narrow boats, so I signed up with the intention of quitting after the first session. At least that’s what I thought.
Six months later, I found myself sitting in a rowing boat with three teammates, waiting for a 2000-meter race to start. In the boat alongside us sat a crew from the university’s team, two of whom had won medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. My crew was only rowing at college level and we had only trained a few times as a team, so facing such strong athletes was quite terrifying. I tried to focus my mind on the race, not on my opponents.
Go! We pushed off with all our might and rowed as fast as we could. As we reached the halfway mark, the other crew was ahead of us. But to my amazement, we were gaining on them. If we could win the race, we would get through to the final! We pushed even harder, ignoring the pain in our legs and drawing energy from the cheers of our college friends. I could already sense the sweet taste of victory.
But then, disaster. One of my teammates lost control of his oar (桨), knocking him nearly out of the boat. We came to a sudden stop, and watched as our opponents crossed the finishing line. It was the most disappointing moment in my life. I wanted to punch my teammate who had ruined everything and push him into the water. But when I saw how angry he was with himself, I gave him a hug.
Although we lost, I’m still proud of how well we did that day facing a much stronger team. What I remember now is the thrill of racing, not the pain of defeat.
4. Why did the author join the rowing club?
A. He was fond of rowing. B. He was curious about rowing.
C. He signed with the team. D. He wanted to win the boat race.
5. How did the author feel before the race?
A. Worried. B. Amazed. C. Disappointed. D. Confused.
6. Why did they lose the game?
A. They were worn out. B. A group member made a mistake.
C. They were out of the boat. D. The opponents were too strong.
7. What lesson did the author learn from his experience?
A. Two heads are better than one. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Trying your best is the best award.
C
If a scientist’s first language is not English, would it be truly difficult to publish an article in an international journal? Recent study looked at tons of scientific journals in the field of biology and found that they don’t do much to help scientists who are not native English speakers. The study found most of these journals judge articles based on how well they are written in English. This can be a problem for scientists who are not fluent in English because they have to work harder to make sure their papers can be published in international journals.
“The role of journals is huge because they can be a source of language barriers (障碍), but they also have the ability to solve many of the barriers,” says Tatsuya Amano, a biodiversity researcher. He added that though some journals have started to offer tools to help scientists whose first language is not English, such examples are still rare.”
Another study by Amano found that non-native English speakers are more likely to have their papers rejected because of writing issues compared to native English speakers. This shows that the language unfairness in journals can have serious consequences for scientists who are not native English speakers.
So apart from waiting for the journals, what can non-native scientists do? One solution is to work with other scientists from English-speaking countries. They can help to check the writing skillfully to double the possibility of being published by the international journal.
8. What do most international journals judge articles based on?
A. The nationality of the author. B. The influence of the scientists.
C. The fluency of English writing. D. The quality of the research result.
9. What does the underlined word “rejected” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Published. B. Praised. C. Refused. D. Recognized.
10. Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?
A. Work with native English scientists. B. Ask publishers for help to check errors.
C. Improve English before writing a paper. D. Practice reading and writing in daily life.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Success in the Field of Biology Study
B. Scientists Unfairly Treated by Language Issues
C. The Advantages of Publishing Papers in English
D. Scientists’ Growing Interest in Learning a Language
D
Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some research show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1,200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors, while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.
12. What does the new study mainly focus on?
A. Physical benefits of cycling. B. Challenges in middle school.
C. Mental effects of bike riding. D. Teenagers’ learning problems.
13. What did the students do in the program?
A. Take cycling classes for a week. B. Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C. Do indoor exercise to raise heart rates. D. Create questionnaires for health research.
14. What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Evidence from previous research. B. Application of the research results.
C. Limits of exercise’s mental benefits. D. Doubts over the programs’ real value.

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。
It was time for the art lesson. Madam Nadirah walked to the front of the classroom carrying a big box. The box had bottles of paint and paintbrushes sticking out of it. Adam smiled. He loved art time! They always worked in groups on their projects. Maybe this time he would get to work with one of his friends. Madam Nadirah pointed to the first table and announced the group members. Adam stood up and moved to sit at the table, joining Ivan and Mya. He didn’t know anyone in the group, but he was good at making friends. He hoped this could be a fresh start. Once everyone found their group, Madam Nadirah started to hand out the materials. “Your challenge is to use these materials to make art,” she said. She put three cups on each table. Adam moved closer to look inside their cups. One cup had nutshells (坚果壳) in it, another had wooden sticks, and the last one had colorful beads (珠子). Adam felt unsure. He didn’t know what to make with these things.
“You only have time to make one project,” Madam Nadirah said. “So work together to decide what you are going to make.” Loud chatter filled the room as the groups started planning their projects. In Adam’s group, different opinions soon appeared. Mya wanted to make a tree, while Ivan imagined building a house. As they tried to explain their ideas, their voices grew louder, and impatience gradually replaced (代替) their excitement.
Neither side was willing to back down, and the disagreement became increasingly serious. They even began fighting over the cups. Adam watched his group with growing concern (担心). He didn’t want their first project together to end in anger. But they were only allowed to make one project. They couldn’t make a tree and a house. Then Adam had an idea. Maybe there was a way they could do both. “What if we make a house in a tree?” Hearing that, Mya and Ivan stopped fighting.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
To Adam’s relief, the others agreed to give his idea a try.

By the end of the art lesson, Adam’s group stood back to admire their finished project.
