第一节
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you! As you want to give a gift with Chinese characteristics to your mom, I would suggest a Chinese silk scarf.
Chinese silk scarf is an excellent choice to showcase the beauty of Chinese culture. It is not only sophisticated in pattern and design, but also comfortable to wear. Besides, there are many patterns with rich cultural meanings to choose from. For instance, peony, lotus, and phoenix all represent happiness, prosperity, and good luck in Chinese culture.
I hope this gift will impress your mom and bring her joy. Please convey my best regards and best wishes to her. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
As I left him, he said, “Thank you. By the way, my name’s Dr. Holstrom.” The name ringing in my mind, I froze on the spot. Jeff Holstrom! Could this be the cold, stern father who demanded his son attend college or never enter his home again Curiosity and doubt bubbling up, I turned around to get a glimpse of Dr. Holstrom, attempting to find some facial resemblances. Beaming and scanning, Dr. Holstrom seemed to be looking for his daughter. Speeches given, the dean began to read the names of the graduates, inviting them onto the stage one by one to receive their diplomas.
Jeff was the last person to be called onto the stage. Having received his diploma, he turned toward the audience, radiant with joy. Suddenly, a lone figure popped into his eyes — Dr. Holstrom. I was not sure how Jeff spotted him in the crowd, but I could tell their eyes met. Dr. Holstrom, gazing at Jeff thoughtfully for a few seconds, opened his arms as if to embrace the air around him. For a moment time seemed to stand still. Jeff came down, smiling with tears in eyes. “My father is here,” he whispered to me, “I think I’m going home.”
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A篇【答案】BCD
【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本值得阅读的书籍。
21. B。细节理解题。根据“Pride and Prejudice”部分关键句“For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize that this is the novel that in many ways defined what a modern novel is.(对于一本写于 19 世纪初的书来说,它的现代性是令人惊讶的,直到你意识到这是一部在许多方面定义了现代小说的小说。)”可知,《傲慢与偏见》是一部在许多方面定义了现代小说的小说,由此可知,《傲慢与偏见》的特别之处在于它定义了现代小说。故选 B项。
22. C。推理判断题。根据“A Wild Child's Guide to Endangered Animals”部分关键句“Highlighting the difficulty of 43endangered species from around the world, the book takes readers on a trip through freshwater, oceans, forests, mountains, deserts, grasslands and wetlands while learning about rare and well-known animals and their habitats. (这本书重点介绍了来自世界各地的 43种濒危物种的困难,这本书带领读者穿越淡水、海洋、森林、山脉、沙漠、草原和湿地的同时了解稀有和知名的动物及其栖息地。)”可知,《野生濒危动物指南》重点介绍了来自世界各地的43种濒危物种的困难,可以让读者了解到稀有和知名的动物及其栖息地。故选 C项。
23. D。推理判断题。根据“Know My Name”部分关键句“Chanel Miller's breathtaking memoir is praised to be the Best Book of the Year in People magazine. In this book, she recalls all her whole life.(香奈儿·米勒的惊人的自传被《人物》杂志评为年度最佳图书。在这本书中,她回忆了自己的一生。)”可知,《知晓我姓名》是一部自传,书中介绍了作者香奈儿·米勒的一生。故选 D项。
B篇【答案】DBAC
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者救助了一只猫头鹰,取名Alfie,他们精心照顾Alfie,最后Alfie也繁育了许多后代。
24. D。细节理解题。根据第一段“It was an owl(猫头鹰), found dragged and dropped on someone’s backyard.(这是一只猫头鹰,被人拖着丢在了别人的后院)”以及第二段“Cleaned and warmed, the tiny owl survived.(经过清洗和取暖,这只小猫头鹰活了下来)”可知,B选项“它很小,而且状况很差”正确。故选D。
25. B。细节理解题。根据第三段“Winter was in the air, making easy food much less available, and she had never learned to hunt. I would not risk letting her loose and having her starve.(冬天来临了,容易得到的食物越来越少,而她从来没有学会打猎。我不会冒险放了她,让她饿死)”可知,他们想等阿尔菲准备好了再放她。故选B。
26. A。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She and her mate raised three baby birds that first year, building new links in the great chain that has gone unbroken-so far-for millions of owl generations.(第一年,她和她的伴侣养育了三只幼鸟,在这个至今没有中断的巨大的猫头鹰链上建立了新的联系——到目前为止,它已经延续了数百万代)”可知,B选项“Alfie促成了猫头鹰世代的延续”正确。故选A。
27. C。推理判断题。根据最后一段“Alfie lives in relationship, and our surprising capacity to relate to one another expanded my perspective on her life and mine. Birds and humans have not had a common ancestor for more than 300 million years, yet Alfie always enjoyed a little head scratch that we enjoyed giving. Our nervous systems still relate, allowing us to share such pleasures. People for thousands of years lived in relationship with nature and with their communities. If there is one lesson from Alfie, it is that to live in relationship is how we might heal. (Alfie生活在一段关系中,我们彼此之间令人惊讶的联系能力扩大了我对她和我的生活的看法。鸟类和人类已经有3亿多年没有共同的祖先了,但Alfie总是喜欢我们喜欢给他挠头。我们的神经系统仍然相互联系,使我们能够分享这种快乐。几千年来,人们一直生活在与自然和社区的关系中。如果我们能从阿尔菲身上学到什么,那就是生活在一段关系中,我们才能痊愈)”可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是提醒读者重新思考我们与野生动物和环境的关系。故选C。
C篇【答案】DBCD
【导语】这是一篇说明文。Neuralink通过一种能够植入人类大脑的设备实现了人脑和外部设备之间的信息交换所引发的担忧。
28. D。细节理解题。根据第一段“The first person to receive a brain-monitoring device from neurotechnology company Neuralink can control a computer cursor with their mind”和第二段“Musk announced on 29 January that Neuralink had implanted a brain–computer interface (BCI) into a human for the first time.”可知Neuralink成功地将BCI植入了人脑中。
29. B 。词句猜测题。根据前文“But it has not confirmed whether that system was used for the first human implant.”Neuralink是否在第一例实验中用机器人植入设备并未得到证实,可知关于实验的细节是缺乏的。
30. C 。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But it is a far cry from Musk’s ambitions for the Neuralink device. “Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer.”可知,Musk是一位在神经科技方面特别有野心的人。
32. D 。主旨大意题。根据第一段“But researchers say that this is not a major feat — and they are concerned about the secrecy around the device’s safety and performance.”和最后一段可知文章讲了Neuralink 公司植入BCI到人脑中引发了安全担忧。
D篇【答案】CBAA
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在的樱桃、香蕉和苹果等水果相较以前味道不同的情况,并说明水果的甜味会导致健康问题。
32. C。细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bred to be more sweeter, today’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used—to but not necessarily better. (如今的樱桃、香蕉和苹果经过了更甜的培育,尝起来与过去不同,但并不一定更好)”以及“Modern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were on average sweeter than older ones. (科学家们强调,现代苹果品种平均比老苹果更甜)”可知,现代水果的糖分含量不同以往。故选C项。
33. B。推理判断题。根据第二段中“He believed that modern apples are picked so early that even if they are bred for sweetness, they often don’t develop their full character. The fragrance (香味) never develops in fruit that is harvested too early. (他认为,现代的苹果采摘得太早,即使它们是为了甜味而培育的,它们往往也没有发育出完整的特征。过早收获的果实永远不会散发出香味)”可知,因为现代水果失去好味道,所以Sugiura表示不满意。故选B项。
34. A。推理判断题。根据第三段中“Jim Cooper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful to admit the fact that many people will never taste the ‘strawberry hint’ in a really ripe Pearmain, a type of heritage apple. In a way, the rise of consistently sweeter fruit in our lifetimes has been a victory of plant breeding. (Jim Cooper是英国的一名苹果农,他很遗憾地承认,许多人永远尝不到真正成熟的一种传统苹果Pearmain的‘草莓味’。在某种程度上,在我们的生活中不断出现的更甜的水果还是植物育种的胜利)”可知,Cooper对现代水果育种的态度是批评的。故选A项。
35. A。主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes (糖尿病), who have to reduce their intake of higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the chemicals that make it healthy. Considering health, maybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world with sugar. (但现代水果的甜味也不是没有问题,尤其是对糖尿病患者来说,他们必须减少高糖水果的摄入量。被培育得更甜的水果也往往含有更低的使其健康的化学物质。考虑到健康,也许现代水果的真正问题在于,它已经成为一个有糖的世界里的另一种甜食)”可知,本段说明了水果的甜味会导致健康问题。故选A项。
第二节
【答案】FCBGE
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了停止不合时宜的笑的方法。
36. F上文介绍了在不适当的时候笑事实上能帮助你释放压力,后文却讲几种停止笑的方法,所以本句和上文应为转折关系,F选项but表转折,引出不恰当的笑或许会对生活产生负面影响。
37. C 该段讲分散你的注意力。前文讲了分散注意力的途径,后文讲可以选任何的颜色看捏能在这一区域找出多少地方是这一颜色,因此C选项的你也可以寻找房间里的某张颜色符合。
38. B 该空是该段的小标题,应与文章已有的小标题句式一致,应该是祈使句。该段中的What can you do instead of laughing nervously 可知,本段讲的是替代笑的一些其他的做法,所以B选项正确。
39. G 该段讲的是替代笑的做法。前文讲的是要根据情况来选择如何应对。上一句话讲了在开会时笑,那么这一句就应该是讲如何应对此种场景。G选项的if this is the case 就指代前文的具体情况,click your pen instead of laughing就是解决办法。
40. E 本段讲的是要弄清你笑的原因。弄清了原因就能开始解决你不合时宜的笑的问题。所以E正确。
第三部分 语言运用

Text 1
W: I don’t know whether I can do this. It’s a long way down.
M: Don’t overthink it. All competitive swimmers need to learn how to dive. When you’ve done it once, it won’t worry you in the future.
W: OK, here goes then. Wish me luck. (1)
Text 2
M: Excuse me. I was here earlier with my son for coffee. He thinks he left his favorite toy here. Has anyone by chance handed anything in
W: What type of toy was it
M: It was a red racing car.
W: Fortunately, one of our staff found it. (2)
Text 3
M: I’ve found that note from your sister. The address is on the back.
W: Ha! It’s been a week already. I’m glad we looked up online for the way to the restaurant.
M: It was a bit of a long drive for the evening, but the food was worth it. (3)
Text 4
M: What was the weather like in London
W: Very warm and sunny! It’s strange that British people love to be in the sun as much as possible, while in China, we prefer to stay out of the sun! (4)
M: Yeah, I have vivid memories of that from my summer trip to the UK with a friend!
Text 5
M: If you have to pick only one movie to watch, what would it be (5)
W: I would have to see The Shawshank Redemption. It’s a classic. Have you seen it
M: Yes. It’s based on a short story by Stephen King.
W: Really I didn’t know that.
★ 《肖申克的救赎》(The Shawshank Redemption)是由弗兰克·德拉邦特编剧并执导的美国剧情片,该片根据斯蒂芬·埃德温·金1982年的中篇小说《肖申克的救赎》改编,主要讲述了银行家安迪含冤入狱后,他不动声色、步步为营地谋划自我拯救并最终重获自由的故事。
Text 6 (第6题为推断题)
W: The half-term trip to the World Museum of Mining is at the same time as the final practice for the school play. (7) I’m struggling to make the right decision here.
M: How many kids are involved in both
W: I’m not sure — around 12 kids, I think, and two of them have leading roles.
M: We can’t move the museum trip — it’s too short notice. How about asking the parents if they are fine with the final play practice taking place after school
W: I guess we could start the practice at 4:30 p.m. The trip is probably over at 4:00 p.m. (7) We’d still be finished by 6:30 p.m. That’s not a bad solution.
Text 7 (第9题为推断题)
W: Every year, I feel as though the months between September and Christmas go by in a flash. (8)
M: I think it’s just a sign of getting older — time seems to speed up as we grow!
W: Ha-ha, maybe, but I never feel like this in spring or summer. The heat and sunshine make these seasons seem to last forever! I much prefer the autumn weather.
M: Oh, I see. So it’s just a simpler case of whatever you enjoy going by at a faster speed. It’s like how we felt when we were a kid — remember how fast weekends used to fly by compared to weekdays
W: Hmm...yes. Saturday mornings were always filled with endless promises, but then they would disappear in minutes!
M: Exactly. And even car journeys! If I’m in a hurry, the journey seems so long. If I’m not rushing, it seems much shorter!
W: So it all comes down to how we consider and experience things.
Text 8
M: Because the road is under repair, my journey to work has become so much longer. (11)
W: Isn’t it quicker to take the train now, (11) Matt (10) (12)
M: Possibly, but I don’t want to. I’m surrounded by people all day — I enjoy being alone in my own car, (10) even if I’m stuck in traffic!
W: Don’t you get bored I hate just sitting there, waiting for traffic to move. I’d rather walk!
M: No, never. I listen to the radio and audiobooks. Sometimes I sing or listen to music.
W: You could do that on a train — except for the singing, obviously.
M: I know, Beth, (11) but I don’t want to give up my private time. It’s very calming. (10)
W: Okay, but on a train you can get a coffee and snacks! That’s got to be good, (11) right
M: Yep, but I always have a hot drink with me anyway, and I never travel without food!
W: What about the environmental aspect though It’s greener to take the train. (11)
M: You got me there. I feel truly conflicted about that. Maybe I need to examine my environmental morals a bit more. (12)
Text 9 (第13题为推断题、第14题为总结题)
W: Thank you for tuning into News Today. I am on the shore of the North Sea in England where I’m joined with John Hunt, a local fisherman. (15) (16) John, thank you for being with us today.
M: It’s a pleasure. Thank you for having me.
W: John, just behind us is where you saved a young boy yesterday. (15) (16) Tell us what happened. (16)
M: I was walking my dog along the beach when I noticed something in the water. (15) I could tell it was someone in trouble and my dog kept barking.
W: What did you do
M: It all happened so fast. I just acted without thinking. Before I knew it, I was in the sea dragging the young boy out. (16)
W: I believe his parents were so glad you saved him. (16)
M: Yes, they were! They have a baby and they had just turned their back for a second as the baby needed changing. Once I got the boy to the shore, they ran over and thanked me. Luckily, the boy was fine. (16)
W: Have they offered you a gift or some money as a thank you
M: Well, they offered me a free stay in a hotel they own, but I refused. I’m just glad the boy is safe. That’s enough.
W: That’s really nice of you.
Text 10 (第17题为推断题)
If you have studied and mastered a language to a high level, it’s a significant achievement that brings personal satisfaction and new opportunities. One of those opportunities might be the desire to live and work in the country of that language. However, regional accents can increase some difficulties, even for confident language learners. Even within a small country, accents can be various. (19) For example, when people learn English, they tend to learn what is commonly referred to as the Queen’s English, Oxford English, BBC English, or Received Pronunciation, namely RP. All of these are typical standard British accents. It was previously believed that just 5% of the British population actually spoke with an RP accent, but the most recent studies suggest the true figure is even lower — only about 3% of the population speaks in RP. (18) So, there are around 40 different accents within the United Kingdom alone. Sometimes, even native speakers may find it challenging to understand a particularly strong accent. (19) In such situations, a helpful approach is to politely request the speakers to repeat what they said, perhaps at a slower pace. (20)
★ 英语标准发音(Received Pronunciation),简称RP,起源于英格兰的东南部。在整个英格兰,它被中上层阶级使用,同时又广泛应用于私立教育系统中,大部分BBC的新闻广播员都说这种英语。在英国(大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国),官方没有制定官方语,但RP是公认的官方语言。七校联盟2024年第一学月联考

“WHAT KIND OF BIRD is this ” the text from my wildlife protector friend had asked. I had to look closely at the photo. It was an owl(猫头鹰), found dragged and dropped on someone’s backyard. I figured that she was about two weeks from being old enough to fly.
Cleaned and warmed, the tiny owl survived. Together we planned a “soft release”. “The idea was that as she gained the ability to fly, we would let the young owl wander off rather naturally, on her own schedule, into the very suitable woodland behind our home.”
Her care came to us for what we thought would be a few weeks at most. We called her Alfie. But the recovery took longer than expected. When she should have been able to fly, Alfie could only walk on the ground. Winter was in the air, making easy food much less available, and she had never learned to hunt. I would not risk letting her loose and having her starve. When summer was again at its fullest, I left the door open. Alfie disappeared one day. A week later, my wife texted me: “Guess who’s back. After that, Alfie centered her territory around our backyard, and before long, we started seeing another owl.
Alfie became the owl she was born to be when she left our protection for the risks and rewards of free agency. She and her mate raised three baby birds that first year, building new links in the great chain that has gone unbroken for millions of owl generations.
Alfie lives in relationship, and our surprising capacity to relate to one another expanded my perspective on her life and mine. Birds and humans have not had a common ancestor for more than 300 million years, yet Alfie always enjoyed a little head scratch that we enjoyed giving. Our nervous systems still relate, allowing us to share such pleasures. People for thousands of years lived in relationship with nature and with their communities. If there is one lesson from Alfie, it is that to live in relationship is how we might heal.
24. According to the article, which is TRUE when Alfie the owl was initially found
A. It was found from a photo in a magazine.
B. It was found by the author’s fellow staff.
C. It was found in the author’s backyard.
D. It was tiny and in poor condition.
25. What is their attitude toward the release of Alfie
A. Alfie should be released softly in summer.
B. They want to release Alfie when she is ready
C. They want to adopt Alfie when she is old enough.
D. They want Alfie to wander when food is sufficient.
26. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3 and 4
A. Alfie contributed to the ongoing chain of owl generations.
B. Alfie was struggling in winter during the recovery.
C. Alfie was rewarded by a free agency after it disappeared.
D. Alfie went back to establish her territory to thank the author.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To teach readers how to find and help injured animals.
B. To remind readers to protect and value the beauty of nature.
C. To remind readers to rethink our relationship with wildlife and the environment.
D. To encourage readers to strengthen their bond with birds.
C
The first person to receive a brain-monitoring device from neurotechnology company Neuralink can control a computer cursor(光标) with his mind, Elon Musk, the firm’s founder, revealed this week. But researchers say that this is not a major feat — and they are concerned about the secrecy around the device’s safety and performance.
Musk announced on 29 January that Neuralink had implanted a brain–computer interface (BCI) into a human for the first time. Neuralink, which is headquartered in Fremont, California, is the third company to start long-term trials in humans.
The Neuralink chip contains 64 flexible polymer threads, providing 1,024 sites for recording brain activity according to the company’s study brochure. That is considerably more than Blackrock Neurotech’s BCIs, the only other single-neuron recording system to have been implanted long-term in humans. So the Neuralink device can improve brain–machine communication.
The company has also produced a surgical robot for inserting its device. But it has not confirmed whether that system was used for the first human implant. Details about the first recipient are also scarce, although Neuralink’s volunteer recruitment brochure says that people with quadriplegia(四肢瘫痪者) stemming from certain conditions “may qualify”.
This week, Musk said on Spaces — an audio component of his social-media platform X — that the volunteer “seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of” and “is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking”.
To researchers working on implanted neurotechnologies, this achievement is underwhelming. Controlling a computer mouse with one’s thoughts could enable people living with paralysis to regain some independence and functionality. But it is a far cry from Musk’s ambitions for the Neuralink device. “Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer,” Musk wrote last month on X. “That is the goal.”
However, even more important at this stage, researchers say, is safety — of both the device and the surgery. Sheth says he and other researchers are in the dark about the system’s first application in the clinic.
28. Which one is right about Neuralink
A. The researchers in Neuralink can control a computer cursor with their mind.
B. Neuralink is the first company to start long-term trials in humans.
C. Neuralink used a surgical robot to insert its device for the first human implant.
D. Neuralink has successfully implanted a BCI into a human.
29. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 4 mean
A. indifferent B. inadequate C. obvious D. enough
30. What can we know about Musk
A. He is technologically competent.
B. He provides insights into promoting neurotechnology.
C. He has an ambitious goal for the Neuralink device.
D. He holds a firm belief that Stephen Hawking could speak faster.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mind-reading devices are coming
B. Mind-reading devices are revealing the brain’s secrets
C. Neuralink brain chip: what scientists think of first human trial
D. Neuralink brain chip: advance sparks safety and secrecy concerns
D
Bred to be sweeter, today’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used to but not necessarily better. Among fruit farmers, the word “quality” is now routinely used as a standard for “high in sugar”, though firmness, color and size are also considerations. In a recent study about ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecular (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists wrote that, in general, the sugar content of many fruits are now higher than before owing to continuous selection and breeding. Modern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were on average sweeter than older ones.
The sweetness of fruit depends not just on how it is bred but also on growing conditions, yield and harvest. The lead researcher, Sugiura, said, “If you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference.” He believed that modern apples are picked so early that even if they are bred for sweetness, they often don’t develop their full character. The fragrance never develops in fruit that is harvested too early.
Jim Cooper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful to admit the fact that many people will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type of heritage apple. In a way, the rise of consistently sweeter fruit in our lifetimes has been a victory of plant breeding. After all, it’s a rare person who would seek out bitter grapes if they could have sweet ones instead.
But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes (糖尿病), who have to reduce their intake of higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the chemicals that make it healthy. Considering health, maybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world with sugar. Even grapefruits, which used to be quite bitter, are sometimes now as sweet as oranges. If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry, how can you fully appreciate a sweet one
32. In what aspect is many fruits different from before
A. Bright color. B. Soft skin. C. Sugar content. D. High yield.
33. Why did Sugiura express discontent with the present fruits
A. They are bred too early. B. They are losing a good flavor.
C. They taste so sweet. D. They need a higher yield.
34. What is Cooper’s attitude towards modern fruit breeding
A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring.
35. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The sweetness of fruits will cause health issues.
B. It’s a wise choice to breed fruits for sweetness.
C. Breeding sweet fruits improves the quality of fruits.
D. Some fruits like grapes and cherries taste the same.

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。
Jeff Holstrom and I had many conversations during the year, but I will always remember the time he told me about his family. His father, a successful physician, was cold and strict in Jeff's words. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated.
Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company — without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school, he decided to decline his father’s offer and, instead, to work with a ski patrol (滑雪巡逻队). With pain in his eyes, Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort.
Hearing Jeffs decision, his father looked off into the distance. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff’s mind: “You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college. I should have known you’d never amount to anything!” The two had not spoken since that conversation.
Later, he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. He said it over and over again. Jeff’s sister had always remained supportive of Jeff's decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him.
The day when the graduation ceremony came, I walked around talking to people before it started. I noticed a man with a confused expression.
“Excuse me,” he said as he politely approached me. “What is happening here today ”
“It’s graduation day,” I replied, smiling. “Well, that’s odd,” he said, “my daughter asked me to meet her at this address.” His eyes sparkled and he smiled. “Maybe she completed her associate’s degree and wanted to surprise me!”
I helped him find a seat.
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。
As I left him, he said, “Thank you. By the way, my name’s Dr. Holstrom.”
Jeff was the last person to be called onto the stage.
