The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing e fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating (加速) my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1
A. responsibility B. panic C. shame D. desire
5. What did the author owe her victory in the Softball Throw event to
A. Her advanced sports outfits. B. Her confidence in her sports ability.
C. The sports talent inherited from her father. D. The example and training offered by her father.
6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A. She generally exercised on weekends. B. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
C. She preferred reading to exercising. D. She maintained her love for sports.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article
A. To describe how her father built her interest in sports.
B. To recall her childhood memories about sports.
C. To express her passion for sports and fitness.
D. To emphasize the benefits of physical exercise.

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China — guochao, or “China-chic”.
The term characterizes the rise of China’s native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics (美学) offered by homegrown Chinese brands.
China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent profit growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand’s revenue had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding.
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” said Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager.
Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition.” according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend develops, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture, added Zhou.
8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a new trend in China.
B. To highlight the popularity of guochao.
C. To describe a common scene on the street.
D. To show Chinese brands beat foreign companies.
9. Which of the following statements about guochao is correct
A. Li-Ning stimulated the development of guochao.
B. Guochao is a new trend popular throughout the world.
C. Guochao refers to people’s preference for ancient culture.
D. It’s before 2018 that guochao had received great attention.
10. What may Kerra Zhou agree with
A. Chinese is still following the western trend.
B. Guochao’s success relies on western recognition.
C. National pride arouses the passion for guochao.
D. Cultural awareness is the key to winning market share.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Popularity of Native Brands B. The Boom of China-chic
C. The Recognition of National Culture D. The Root of Guochao
D
According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母). That might sound a little unusual, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don’t know the endangered fish.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records.
13. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be decreasing.
B. Eating jellyfish is so unusual that people shouldn’t try it.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea.
D. Eating jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
14. Why does the last paragraph mention “mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A. To support the suggestion for fisheries’ better partnership with protection policies.
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A leaflet. D. A magazine.

On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, ” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
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。
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing e fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating (加速) my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1
A. responsibility B. panic C. shame D. desire
5. What did the author owe her victory in the Softball Throw event to
A. Her advanced sports outfits. B. Her confidence in her sports ability.
C. The sports talent inherited from her father. D. The example and training offered by her father.
6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A. She generally exercised on weekends. B. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
C. She preferred reading to exercising. D. She maintained her love for sports.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article
A. To describe how her father built her interest in sports.
B. To recall her childhood memories about sports.
C. To express her passion for sports and fitness.
D. To emphasize the benefits of physical exercise.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China — guochao, or “China-chic”.
The term characterizes the rise of China’s native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics (美学) offered by homegrown Chinese brands.
China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent profit growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand’s revenue had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding.
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” said Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager.
Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition.” according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend develops, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture, added Zhou.
8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a new trend in China.
B. To highlight the popularity of guochao.
C. To describe a common scene on the street.
D. To show Chinese brands beat foreign companies.
9. Which of the following statements about guochao is correct
A. Li-Ning stimulated the development of guochao.
B. Guochao is a new trend popular throughout the world.
C. Guochao refers to people’s preference for ancient culture.
D. It’s before 2018 that guochao had received great attention.
10. What may Kerra Zhou agree with
A. Chinese is still following the western trend.
B. Guochao’s success relies on western recognition.
C. National pride arouses the passion for guochao.
D. Cultural awareness is the key to winning market share.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Popularity of Native Brands B. The Boom of China-chic
C. The Recognition of National Culture D. The Root of Guochao
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. B

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new trend is taking hold in China — guochao, or “China-chic”.(一种新的趋势正在中国形成——国潮)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了国潮在我国兴起，国家的快速发展和国人对文化的自信促进了国潮的繁盛。由此可知，“国潮的繁荣”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。

According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母). That might sound a little unusual, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don’t know the endangered fish.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records.
13 What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be decreasing.
B. Eating jellyfish is so unusual that people shouldn’t try it.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea.
D. Eating jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
14. Why does the last paragraph mention “mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A To support the suggestion for fisheries’ better partnership with protection policies.
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A leaflet. D. A magazine.
【答案】12 A 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】

词句猜测题。根据第二段“Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally.(研究人员通过检索工业捕鱼记录，发现了近100种濒危物种被作为海鲜出售，而且这是合法的)”可知，this指的是上文提及的近100种濒危物种被作为海鲜出售。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish.(为了解决我们在海洋中造成的混乱，研究人员想出了一些方法，其中之一是将我们对海鲜的概念扩展到水母)”以及“With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.(水母作为食物来源，其他濒危物种可能会被留在海里)”可知，将海鲜的概念扩展到水母，食用水母可能会帮助海洋中其他濒危物种。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.(此外，如果能够更好地促进渔业和保护政策之间的合作，这也很重要。克莱恩补充道：“我们永远不会考虑吃山地大猩猩或大象，这两种动物都处于濒危状态。”)”可知，提及山地大猩猩和大象的目的是为了例证前文提出的建议，支持渔业应更好地与保护政策合作的建议。故选A。

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
A
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions. ____36____, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if ____37____ (leave) unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. For example, some of them may become involved ____38____ tobacco or alcohol abuse, which can lead to physical and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from ____39____ (dominate) a teenager’s life is essential. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make appropriate changes.
【答案】36. However
37. left 38. in
39. dominating
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章号召要防止青少年养成坏习惯。
【36题详解】
考查句子副词。句意：然而，在此期间，他们中的一些人很容易养成坏习惯。后文“during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits”和前文之间存在转折关系，由逗号隔开，故应用句子副词however表示转折。句首字母大写，故填However。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些坏习惯，如果不加以控制，长大后可能会导致更严重的问题。分析可知，此处为非谓语，if引导的状语从句中的省略，动词leave和主语之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作状语。故填left。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：例如，他们中的一些人可能会吸烟或酗酒，这可能会导致身体和精神健康问题。be/get/become involved in sth“参与，投入”是固定搭配。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：防止像这样的有害习惯主宰青少年的生活是必要的。prevent sb/sth (from) doing sth是固定搭配，故用动名词作介词宾语。故填dominating。
B
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
National Good Neighbor Day was first celebrated in ____40____ early 1970s by Becky Mattson, who wanted to connect with her neighbors in Montana.

A resolution was passed by the Senate, as there was a need to bring them together for them to communicate with each other. Thus today, a fixed date ____42____ (set) for Good Neighbor Day.
【答案】40. the
41. officially
42. is set
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了全国睦邻日这一节日被确定的过程。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：20世纪70年代初，贝基·马特森首次庆祝了全国睦邻日，她想与蒙大拿州的邻居联系。in the early 1970s表示“在20世纪70年代初”，符合题意，所以空处应用定冠词the。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：1978年，吉米·卡特总统签署了一项设立假日的法案，正式将其定为假日。空处修饰动词became，应用副词形式作状语，officially是副词，表示“正式地”，符合题意。故填officially。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：因此现在，一个固定的日期被确定为睦邻日。根据时间状语today可知，本句使用一般现在时，set与主语date之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语a fixed date是单数，be动词应用is。故填is set。
C

【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：来自世界各地的人们可以在“数字黄”网站上欣赏到30个洞穴的高质量图像和全景游览，这展示了一种全新的文物保护理念。image为可数名词，前文没有冠词表示数量大于一应用复数形式。故填images。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：来自世界各地的人们可以在“数字黄”网站上欣赏到30个洞穴的高质量图像和全景游览，这展示了一种全新的文物保护理念。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰上文句子，从句缺少主语，故填which。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：本项目旨在采用先进的科学技术，实现玛古石窟及相关文物的收集、处理和存储等整体数字化。修饰后文名词science and technology应用形容词advanced，作定语，表示“先进的”。故填advanced。
第四部分 书面表达（共三节，满分40分）
第一节 课内句子填空（每空0.5分，共10小空，满分5分）
46. 如果有必要，用剪刀剪掉烧伤部位的衣服，除非你看到衣服与被烧伤的皮肤粘连在一起。
Remove any clothes using scissors________ ________, unless you see the fabric ________ to the burnt skin.
【答案】 ①. if ②. necessary ③. sticking
【解析】
【详解】考查固定表达和非谓语动词。对比中英文句子，前两空涉及常用表达if necessary“如果有必要”，此用法为if it is necessary省略了it is；第二空表达“粘”用stick，此处应用非谓语动词作宾补，stick和the fabric之间为逻辑主动关系，应用现在分词。故填if；necessary；sticking。
47. 中国雕塑因此深受经丝绸之路从印度和中亚传来的佛教艺术的影响。
Chinese sculpture thus found itself highly ________(influence) by Buddhist art ________(bring) from India and Central Asia through the Silk Road.
【答案】 ①. influenced ②. brought
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。第一空表示“影响”应用动词influence，此处与itself构成被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补；第二空表示“传来”应用动词bring，与逻辑主语art构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填①influenced；②brought。
48. 它们都精美绝伦，品质非凡。
They are ________ ________ ________ and quality.
【答案】 ①. of ②. exceptional ③. beauty
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。结合句意“精美绝伦”可知短语为be of exceptional beauty——be of +抽象名词。故填of exceptional beauty。
49. 正如你想象的那样，烧伤会造成严重后果。
________ you can imagine, ________(get) burnt can lead to very serious injuries.
【答案】 ①. As ②. getting
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句和动名词短语作主语。结合句意应用非限制性定语从句，用关系代词as指代后面整个主句内容并在从句中作imagine的宾语；表示“烧伤”应该使用动名词短语getting burnt作主语。故填①As ②getting。

第三节 读后续写（20 分）
51. 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。
On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, ” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
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。
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.

After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. Finally, it was time for him to do the presentation. Standing in front of several experts from Go Green, Peter was nervous in fear of screwing things up. But unbelievably, when he began to speak, everything went so smoothly. His voice was clear and influential, and his speech was logical and well-organized. Peter ended his presentation with a deep bow and went out to wait for Go Green’s decision.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Their ideas were approved and Go Green agreed to provide the money they needed to purchase the trash bin. Peter smiled. It meant not only their efforts paid off, but also Tubman park would restore its cleanness and tidiness. Peter and Isabel decided to tell Mrs. Evans this good news first and then worked out the next step they needed to take.
【解析】
