Camp on the James River
We have several campsites right on the scenic James River. We provide portable toilets and a garbage can, but have no drinking water, showers or electricity.
Campsite Fees
$35 a night for up to 5 people;
$7 for each additional person (Max: 10);
Children under 12 years old camp for free.
Campsite Descriptions
Site 1: This site has two areas, an upper and a lower, each with a stone fire ring and a picnic table. The upper area is flat and far enough away from the river. The lower area is right on the river and floods frequently. Put your tent in either spot.
Site 2: This site has a great view of the flowing James River. Access to the river is through a small hole in the bushes. A great spot for relaxing in the shade of mature trees. Stone fire ring and picnic table included.
Site 3: This site has a couple of paths that will lead you down the fairly steep (陡峭的) bank to the river. The river in front of the site is usually waist-deep and gently flowing. Great for fishing and cooling off.
Site 4: This is the most primitive site we have. With only one neighbor (Site 3), it is very private and remote. The river is literally a stone’s throw from your picnic table and stone fire ring. This site has shallow (knee-deep) moving water located, which is suitable for fishing!
1. What should visitors take when camping on the James River?

For all my seventeen years, New York City has been my home. It’s a place of energy, though often seen as cold and distant. Yet, personal connections can still happen here.
One cold November, my high school soccer team was heading home to Manhattan after a game in the Bronx. Twenty of us piled onto the D train, loud and full of energy, filling the car with our talking and laughter. To pass the time on the long ride, we started singing loudly, our excitement making up for our lack of musical talent.
Our noise was met with mostly unhappy looks from the other passengers. Then, an old homeless man with worn-out clothes and a calm and respectful manner entered the car. He announced he would sing a few songs. While most people ignored him, we watched closely.
He began with “Joy to the World.” His strong and clear voice was so moving that we found ourselves joining in. The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment. He sang a few more songs, including one of his own, and was met with applause.
For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours. I saw a woman holding a baby, singing with tears streaming down her cheeks.
In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever.
4. What do people often think of New Yorkers?
A. They are always in a hurry.
B. They care little about others.
C. They are proud of their soccer teams.
D. They are concerned about the homeless.
5. Why did we begin to sing on the D train?
A. To show off their beautiful voice.
B. To cover the loud noise of the D train.
C. To kill the time during the long ride.
D. To attract the attention of other passengers.
6. How did the atmosphere change after the old man started singing?
A. It remained largely unchanged.
B. It became more silent and serious.
C. It became strange and uncomfortable.
D. It became warmer and more united.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the rules of behavior on the D train.
B. To discuss the musical talent of the homeless man.
C. To tell the story of an unexpected human connection.
D. To describe the challenges of living in New York.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C

The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment.(他以一曲《Joy to the World》开场。他那洪亮清晰的嗓音极具感染力,我们情不自禁地跟着唱了起来。车厢里的气氛发生了变化;原本各自独处的乘客们,此刻都侧耳倾听,享受着这特别的时刻。)”以及第五段中“For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours.(最后一首歌,他选了《God Bless America》。这一次,不仅是我们这群人,车厢里的所有人都跟着唱了起来。这铿锵有力、团结一致的歌声吸引了其他车厢的乘客来到我们这里。)”可知,老人开始唱歌后,气氛变得更温暖、更团结。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Yet, personal connections can still happen here.(然而,个人之间的联系仍然可以在这里发生。)”以及最后一段中“In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever.(在那一刻,一群陌生人——矜持的纽约人、高中女生和一个无家可归的人——通过歌声走到了一起,让我们的声音和心灵融为一体。这是一个将永远留在我心中的时刻。)”可知,文章主要为了讲述陌生人之间通过歌声产生了意想不到的联系。故选C。

Today’s young adults (aged 18 — 34) seem to avoid phone calls altogether, with a quarter admitting they’ve never even answered one.
A recent survey shows a clear change in communication styles. Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked to a general dislike of unexpected calls; more than half connect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversion (讨厌) to phone calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% of those aged 35 — 54 use more texts than calls.
The survey suggests a generational change in communication styles. Phone calls, once a useful tool for connection, are now seemingly dropping in favor of other methods like texting and voice notes.
As reported, the young have played a main role in the online messages and text messages. An ordinary explanation for their unwillingness to answer phone calls is the pressure connected with them. More than half of them think there is negative news when receiving unexpected calls. The young generally like planned phone conversations as the primary means of communication.
Whatever the case, it’s clear that today, we don’t even imagine communicating without the help of a phone. New technologies, such as social media, would ruin human relationships in the long term. As a matter of fact, this may already be happening.
Indeed, we can’t ignore the value of the voice in human relations. Listening to the expression of another person brings us much closer to them. It’s also easier to emotionally connect with others in this way. Text messages are more often misunderstood. When communicating something serious, it’s always better to make a phone call.
8. What can we learn from the recent survey?
A. Young people are more likely to communicate through text messages and voice notes.
B. Young people probably communicate by receiving phone calls.
C. Making phone calls has been replaced by texting messages.
D. Making a phone call still plays a major role in communication among young people.
9. What causes the change in communication styles?
A. The young feel pleasant to answer phone calls.
B. All of the young think voice notes are popular.
C. Few young people connect them with bad news.
D. The young are unwilling to receive unexpected calls.
10. What’s the function of the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A. To explain the reasons. B. To make a comparison.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To provide evidence.
11. What can we learn about making a phone call from the last paragraph?
A. It is easier to respond to. B. It makes us feel far away.
C. It helps emotional connection. D. It is more often misunderstood.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了年轻一代在沟通方式上的变化,他们更倾向于使用短信和语音留言,而不是传统的电话通话,并探讨了这种变化的原因以及电话通话在沟通中的独特价值。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%.(短信起着主导作用,超过70%的年轻人喜欢它。语音留言也非常受欢迎,近40%的人喜欢它。)”可知,从最近的调查中我们可以了解到年轻人更倾向于通过短信和语音留言进行交流。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“An ordinary explanation for their unwillingness to answer phone calls is the pressure connected with them. More than half of them think there is negative news when receiving unexpected calls.(他们不愿意接电话的一个常见解释是与电话相关的压力。超过一半的人认为接到意外的电话会有坏消息。)”可知,年轻人不愿意接听意外的电话导致了沟通方式的变化。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked to a general dislike of unexpected calls; more than half connect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversion (讨厌) to phone calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% of those aged 35 — 54 use more texts than calls.(短信起着主导作用,超过70%的年轻人喜欢它。语音留言也非常受欢迎,近40%的人喜欢它。这似乎与普遍不喜欢意外的电话有关;超过一半的人把电话与坏消息联系在一起。有趣的是,老年人并不讨厌打电话。在35 - 54岁的人群中,只有1%的人使用短信多于电话。)”可知,第二段中列出的数字的作用是将年轻人和老年人的沟通方式进行比较。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Indeed, we can’t ignore the value of the voice in human relations. Listening to the expression of another person brings us much closer to them. It’s also easier to emotionally connect with others in this way.(的确,我们不能忽视声音在人际关系中的价值。倾听别人的表达能让我们更接近他们。通过这种方式,也更容易与他人建立情感联系。)”可知,打电话有助于情感联系。故选C。
D
When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes.
In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes.
“We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well-connected with the start of this earthquake crowds,” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.”
The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming.
“If we’re going into a climate that’s changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth’s crust (地壳) is loaded,” Frank adds. “That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a connection we could further explore.”
12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. Introduce the main topic. B. Describe a scientific experiment.
C. Present different opinions on earthquakes. D. Explain the causes of earthquakes in detail.
13. What is the finding of the study?
A. Quakes will grow in number. B. Global warming will bring more snow.
C. Heavy rains predict major quakes. D. Certain weather events may lead to some quakes.
14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The research results will be applied immediately.
B. The influence of climate on earthquakes will decrease.
C. There will be no earthquakes caused by underground faults.
D. More research on the climate-earthquake link will be conducted.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Secret of Earthquakes. B. How to Predict Earthquakes.
C. Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link. D. The Effects of Global Warming on Earthquakes.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍科研发现气候天气事件会对部分地震的发生产生影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes.(科学家在探寻地震成因时,研究往往从地下开始。数个世纪以来的地震研究已经表明:地震主要是由地壳板块的碰撞、地下断层与裂缝的运动所引发。但是麻省理工学院的科学家现已发现,某些天气事件也可能会引发部分地震。)”可知,文章先介绍地震的传统成因,进而引出本文核心话题。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes.(该研究首次表明气候条件可能会引发部分地震。)”可知,这项研究的发现是某些天气事件可能引发部分地震。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a connection we could further explore.(这必定会产生影响,而这一联系我们还可以进一步探究。)”可推知,针对气候与地震之间的联系将会开展更多研究。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes.(但是麻省理工学院的科学家现已发现,某些天气事件也可能会引发部分地震)”可知,文章围绕新的科学发现,介绍气候天气与地震之间存在的关联,C项“Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link(气候与地震:一种新关联)”最贴合全文主旨,适合用作标题。

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。
With merely one week remaining before the school’s annual talent show, Jack felt extremely tense just thinking about it. Mr. Mike, his English teacher, had inspired him to participate in the speech contest.“ Your pronunciation is great,” Mr. Mike had said, patting him on the shoulder. Yet Jack understood his own reality: he often forgot his lines (台词) when speaking in public or when he was nervous.
Every afternoon after class, Jack stayed in the empty classroom, practicing alone. He marked his lines with colored pens and spoke the lines to the silent walls. Sometimes he pretended Mr. Mike was sitting in the front row, nodding approvingly.
The big day finally arrived. Jack’s legs were shaking as he waited on the backstage. Through the curtains, he saw the sea of faces in the hall. Suddenly, a staff member rushed in.“ We need to cut two minutes from each speech” Jack’s heart sank — his carefully timed lines now had a gaping hole. He didn’t know what contents should be cut off.
He froze there. Just at that time, Mr. Mike appeared beside him.“ Think of it as a chance to adapt to the change,” the teacher said softly.“ If you don’t know what to talk about, you can TELL YOUR STORY.” But Jack’s mind went blank. When his name was called, he stumbled (跌跌撞撞) onto the stage, microphone trembling (颤抖) in his hand.
The first sentence came out shakily. Then disaster struck. Jack forgot all his lines. The audience shifted in their seats and waited for his next sentence. With so many eyes fixed on him, his face went red and his throat tightened. He wanted to run from the stage.
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。
Just then, he noticed Mr. Mike looking at him full of expectation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Just then, he noticed Mr. Mike looking at him full of expectation. Mr. Mike’s eyes sparkled with encouragement, and he made a gentle “come on” gesture with his hand. Jack’s racing heart slowed a little — he thought of those afternoons practicing alone, the colored marks on his script, and his teacher’s constant support. Taking a shaky but deep breath, he gripped the microphone tightly, his fingers no longer trembling. Instead of struggling to recall the prepared lines, he started talking about his fear of public speaking and how he’d pushed himself to practice every day. His voice grew steadier as he spoke from the heart, eyes shining with sincerity.
When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall. Jack stood frozen for a moment, unable to believe the warm response. The audience’s cheers echoed in his ears, and he felt a surge of joy and relief rushing through his body. He bowed deeply, his face breaking into a bright smile. As he stepped off the stage, Mr. Mike pulled him into a firm hug. “You told the most wonderful story,” the teacher said proudly. Jack’s nervousness had vanished completely, replaced by a sense of achievement he would never forget.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了学校一年一度的才艺表演前一周,Jack因英语老师Mr. Mike的鼓励准备参加演讲比赛。尽管他努力练习,但比赛当天因需缩短演讲时间而紧张忘词。站在台上面对众多观众,他大脑一片空白,想要逃离舞台。此时,他注意到Mr. Mike充满期待地看着他。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在这时,他注意到迈克先生满怀期待地看着他。”可知,第一段可描写Jack在看到迈克先生期待的眼神后,受到鼓舞,调整情绪开始演讲。
②由第二段首句内容“当他结束演讲时,全场响起了热烈的掌声。”可知,第二段可描写演讲结束后,Jack的反应以及迈克先生对他的肯定,还有Jack的内心感受。
2.续写线索:杰克忘词尴尬——发现迈克先生的期待目光——迈克先生鼓励——杰克镇定演讲——演讲结束获热烈掌声——杰克震惊释然——鞠躬致谢——迈克先生拥抱肯定——杰克收获成就感。
3.词汇激活
行为类
①紧握:grip/grasp
②颤抖:tremble/shiver

For all my seventeen years, New York City has been my home. It’s a place of energy, though often seen as cold and distant. Yet, personal connections can still happen here.
One cold November, my high school soccer team was heading home to Manhattan after a game in the Bronx. Twenty of us piled onto the D train, loud and full of energy, filling the car with our talking and laughter. To pass the time on the long ride, we started singing loudly, our excitement making up for our lack of musical talent.
Our noise was met with mostly unhappy looks from the other passengers. Then, an old homeless man with worn-out clothes and a calm and respectful manner entered the car. He announced he would sing a few songs. While most people ignored him, we watched closely.
He began with “Joy to the World.” His strong and clear voice was so moving that we found ourselves joining in. The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment. He sang a few more songs, including one of his own, and was met with applause.
For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours. I saw a woman holding a baby, singing with tears streaming down her cheeks.
In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever.
4. What do people often think of New Yorkers?
A. They are always in a hurry.
B. They care little about others.
C. They are proud of their soccer teams.
D. They are concerned about the homeless.
5. Why did we begin to sing on the D train?
A. To show off their beautiful voice.
B. To cover the loud noise of the D train.
C. To kill the time during the long ride.
D. To attract the attention of other passengers.
6. How did the atmosphere change after the old man started singing?
A. It remained largely unchanged.
B. It became more silent and serious.
C. It became strange and uncomfortable.
D. It became warmer and more united.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the rules of behavior on the D train.
B. To discuss the musical talent of the homeless man.
C. To tell the story of an unexpected human connection.
D. To describe the challenges of living in New York.
C
Today’s young adults (aged 18 — 34) seem to avoid phone calls altogether, with a quarter admitting they’ve never even answered one.
A recent survey shows a clear change in communication styles. Texting plays a leading role, with over 70% of young adults loving it. Voice notes are also very popular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked to a general dislike of unexpected calls; more than half connect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversion (讨厌) to phone calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% of those aged 35 — 54 use more texts than calls.
The survey suggests a generational change in communication styles. Phone calls, once a useful tool for connection, are now seemingly dropping in favor of other methods like texting and voice notes.
As reported, the young have played a main role in the online messages and text messages. An ordinary explanation for their unwillingness to answer phone calls is the pressure connected with them. More than half of them think there is negative news when receiving unexpected calls. The young generally like planned phone conversations as the primary means of communication.
Whatever the case, it’s clear that today, we don’t even imagine communicating without the help of a phone. New technologies, such as social media, would ruin human relationships in the long term. As a matter of fact, this may already be happening.
Indeed, we can’t ignore the value of the voice in human relations. Listening to the expression of another person brings us much closer to them. It’s also easier to emotionally connect with others in this way. Text messages are more often misunderstood. When communicating something serious, it’s always better to make a phone call.
8. What can we learn from the recent survey?
A. Young people are more likely to communicate through text messages and voice notes.
B. Young people probably communicate by receiving phone calls.
C. Making phone calls has been replaced by texting messages.
D. Making a phone call still plays a major role in communication among young people.
9. What causes the change in communication styles?
A. The young feel pleasant to answer phone calls.
B. All of the young think voice notes are popular.
C. Few young people connect them with bad news.
D. The young are unwilling to receive unexpected calls.
10. What’s the function of the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A. To explain the reasons. B. To make a comparison.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To provide evidence.
11. What can we learn about making a phone call from the last paragraph?
A. It is easier to respond to. B. It makes us feel far away.
C. It helps emotional connection. D. It is more often misunderstood.
D
When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes.
In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes.
“We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well-connected with the start of this earthquake crowds,” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.”
The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming.
“If we’re going into a climate that’s changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth’s crust (地壳) is loaded,” Frank adds. “That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a connection we could further explore.”
12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. Introduce the main topic. B. Describe a scientific experiment.
C. Present different opinions on earthquakes. D. Explain the causes of earthquakes in detail.
13. What is the finding of the study?
A. Quakes will grow in number. B. Global warming will bring more snow.
C. Heavy rains predict major quakes. D. Certain weather events may lead to some quakes.
14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The research results will be applied immediately.
B. The influence of climate on earthquakes will decrease.
C. There will be no earthquakes caused by underground faults.
D. More research on the climate-earthquake link will be conducted.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Secret of Earthquakes. B. How to Predict Earthquakes.
C. Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link. D. The Effects of Global Warming on Earthquakes.

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。
With merely one week remaining before the school’s annual talent show, Jack felt extremely tense just thinking about it. Mr. Mike, his English teacher, had inspired him to participate in the speech contest.“ Your pronunciation is great,” Mr. Mike had said, patting him on the shoulder. Yet Jack understood his own reality: he often forgot his lines (台词) when speaking in public or when he was nervous.
Every afternoon after class, Jack stayed in the empty classroom, practicing alone. He marked his lines with colored pens and spoke the lines to the silent walls. Sometimes he pretended Mr. Mike was sitting in the front row, nodding approvingly.
The big day finally arrived. Jack’s legs were shaking as he waited on the backstage. Through the curtains, he saw the sea of faces in the hall. Suddenly, a staff member rushed in.“ We need to cut two minutes from each speech” Jack’s heart sank — his carefully timed lines now had a gaping hole. He didn’t know what contents should be cut off.
He froze there. Just at that time, Mr. Mike appeared beside him.“ Think of it as a chance to adapt to the change,” the teacher said softly.“ If you don’t know what to talk about, you can TELL YOUR STORY.” But Jack’s mind went blank. When his name was called, he stumbled (跌跌撞撞) onto the stage, microphone trembling (颤抖) in his hand.
The first sentence came out shakily. Then disaster struck. Jack forgot all his lines. The audience shifted in their seats and waited for his next sentence. With so many eyes fixed on him, his face went red and his throat tightened. He wanted to run from the stage.
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。
Just then, he noticed Mr. Mike looking at him full of expectation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall.
