There are some sounds most of us acknowledge are annoying — the chewing of chips, the low noise of air conditioning or a screaming baby. These noises, for many people, act as a mere inconvenience that can distract them from the task at hand. However, there are some amongst us who have a much more severe response to these noises. Has a noise ever made you feel so angry that you could explode with rage If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from misophonia (恐音症).
The word “misophonia” literally means “a hatred of sound” and is sometimes called Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome. There are some experts who doubt the existence of the condition. However, for those who claim to suffer from it, the experience can be painful. Certain sounds could set off intense emotional or psychological responses that may seem over the top compared with a non-sufferer’s complaints.
The sound of people chewing their food could trigger sufferers’ anxiety, or make them feel panic. It may even activate their fight-or-flight response, making them want to run away. In extreme cases, that feeling of panic may result in intense anger and even end up expressing rage physically.
Sadly, there’s no known cure. But tinnitus retraining therapy, cognitive (认知的) behavioural therapy and counselling could help sufferers tolerate noises and manage the condition. According to James Cartreine, a clinical psychiatrist, the condition can lead to separation. Sufferers use coping strategies that include avoiding places with lots of noises, like restaurants, or moving away when they feel like raging against someone due to their breathing.
So, the next time you see someone fly into a rage because of a sound that is driving them crazy, it may be due to a difficult condition they are trying to manage, and not just because they hate a certain sound.
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A To lead in the topic of misophonia.
B. To introduce different annoying sounds.
C. To show ways of preventing a severe disease.
D. To present the harm of noises to human health.
25. Who is most likely to suffer from misophonia
A. Jane who usually has lunch alone.
B. Nancy who often screams at her baby.
C. Peter who is always worried about his studies.
D. Henry who is annoyed at the sound of book pages turning.
26. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Control. B. Cause. C. Predict. D. Relieve.
27. What can be inferred about misophonia from the last two paragraphs
A. It happens mostly in restaurants.
B. Any sound around can drive sufferers crazy.
C. Staying away from noises is a potential solution.
D. It may greatly influence sufferers’ cognitive ability.
C
Cao Dewang was born in May 1946 in Shanghai. His family is said to have high social standing in Fujian province. But his family background didn’t guarantee a wealthy lifestyle. According to Cao, soon after he was born, his family lost all of their possessions on their way back from Shanghai to Fujian.
After losing their wealth, the family farm became their only means of survival. Cao worked on his family’s farm, and there were many days when he’d go without food. In order to support his family, he dropped out of school when he was 14 and began to work. Nonetheless,he taught himself over a thousand Chinese characters with the help of a dictionary.
Cao began selling tobacco leaves and fruit to earn a living. He also worked as a cook and repaired bicycles. For over twenty years he worked 16 hours a day to escape poverty.
Cao Dewang was working as a sales manager at a glass factory run by the local government for glass used in water meters. He saved up his earnings until he had enough to buy out the very factory in 1983.
Japanese car producers were looking to set up production of their vehicles in China in the 80’s. Cao saw the opportunity and dove into the production of vehicle glass, establishing the Yaohua Automotive Glass Co. in 1987.
Now named Fuyao Group, it started as a joint venture company before it was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1993 and on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2015. Headquartered in Fuging, Fujian, it is currently one of the largest auto glass producers in the world. Audi, Fiat, Ford, Honda, and Nissan are among Fuyao’s biggest customers.
Since 2013, the Fuyao Group had been looking to establish a factory in the U.S. and was looking at possible sites. It picked the site of an abandoned GM assembly plant in Dayton, Ohio in 2014. The factory brought job opportunities to former GM workers who had been unemployed for a long time.
Not disregarding his contributions to China’s economy, Cao is considered as China’s most generous philanthropist. Cao believes, “The more I donate, the more I realize how little use I have for money.” He further adds that his fortune is better used in the education of children.
28. What can be learned about young Cao Dewang
A. He led a wealthy life. B. He was home schooled.
C. He struggled to survive. D. He grew up in Shanghai.
29. What was the history of the Fuyao Group
A. It used to be a car maker.
B. It originated from a local glass factory.
C. It became the world’s largest glass producer in 1987.
D. It first got most of its profits by making water meters.
30. What do we know about Fuyao’s glass factory in Davton
A. It was built in 2013. B. It won support from GM.
C. It hired many laid-off GM workers. D. It helped restore many abandoned plants.
31. What do Cao Dewang’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. Money is worthless sometimes. B. A good name is better than money.
C. Money makes the world go around. D. Money should be used for meaningful things.
D
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal ’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.
32. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station
A. They are hard to get rid of. B. They lead to air pollution.
C. They appear in different forms. D. They damage the instruments.
33. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program
A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.
B. To sharpen students’ communication skills.
C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.
D. To link space technology with school education.
34. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program
A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs.
C. Adjust work schedules. D. Grade their homework.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts
B. Space: The Final Homework Frontier
C. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom
D. HUNCH: A College Admission Reform

67. 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。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
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。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.

W: Well, sure. You’re living yesterday and today in one day. That’s complicated. If you stop worrying about what you did in the past, you’ll have more energy to devote to something new. Doesn’t that sound easier
M: I guess. So, we shouldn’t study history, either
W: That’s different. We have to get good grades in school if we want to get into a good college. But as far as what we do in our everyday lives, it’s all about the here and now.
M: That’s a pretty cool way to look at it...

There are some sounds most of us acknowledge are annoying — the chewing of chips, the low noise of air conditioning or a screaming baby. These noises, for many people, act as a mere inconvenience that can distract them from the task at hand. However, there are some amongst us who have a much more severe response to these noises. Has a noise ever made you feel so angry that you could explode with rage If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from misophonia (恐音症).
The word “misophonia” literally means “a hatred of sound” and is sometimes called Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome. There are some experts who doubt the existence of the condition. However, for those who claim to suffer from it, the experience can be painful. Certain sounds could set off intense emotional or psychological responses that may seem over the top compared with a non-sufferer’s complaints.
The sound of people chewing their food could trigger sufferers’ anxiety, or make them feel panic. It may even activate their fight-or-flight response, making them want to run away. In extreme cases, that feeling of panic may result in intense anger and even end up expressing rage physically.
Sadly, there’s no known cure. But tinnitus retraining therapy, cognitive (认知的) behavioural therapy and counselling could help sufferers tolerate noises and manage the condition. According to James Cartreine, a clinical psychiatrist, the condition can lead to separation. Sufferers use coping strategies that include avoiding places with lots of noises, like restaurants, or moving away when they feel like raging against someone due to their breathing.
So, the next time you see someone fly into a rage because of a sound that is driving them crazy, it may be due to a difficult condition they are trying to manage, and not just because they hate a certain sound.
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic of misophonia.
B. To introduce different annoying sounds.
C. To show ways of preventing a severe disease.
D. To present the harm of noises to human health.
25. Who is most likely to suffer from misophonia
A. Jane who usually has lunch alone.
B. Nancy who often screams at her baby.
C. Peter who is always worried about his studies.
D. Henry who is annoyed at the sound of book pages turning.
26. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Control. B. Cause. C. Predict. D. Relieve.
27. What can be inferred about misophonia from the last two paragraphs
A. It happens mostly in restaurants.
B. Any sound around can drive sufferers crazy.
C. Staying away from noises is a potential solution.
D. It may greatly influence sufferers’ cognitive ability.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了恐音症以及恐音症患者的表现。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There are some sounds most of us acknowledge are annoying — the chewing of chips, the low noise of air conditioning or a screaming baby. These noises, for many people, act as a mere inconvenience that can distract them from the task at hand. However, there are some amongst us who have a much more severe response to these noises. Has a noise ever made you feel so angry that you could explode with rage If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from misophonia (恐音症).(我们大多数人都承认有些声音很烦人——咀嚼薯片的声音、空调的低噪音或婴儿的尖叫声。对于许多人来说，这些噪音只是带来不便，可能会分散他们对手头任务的注意力。然而，我们当中有些人对这些噪音的反应要严重得多。是否曾经有过一种噪音让您感到非常愤怒，以至于怒不可遏？如果答案是肯定的，你可能患有恐音症)”可推知，第一段主要是引出恐音症这一话题。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Has a noise ever made you feel so angry that you could explode with rage If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from misophonia (恐音症).(是否曾经有过一种噪音让您感到非常愤怒，以至于怒不可遏？如果答案是肯定的，你可能患有恐音症)”和第二段中“The word “misophonia” literally means “a hatred of sound” and is sometimes called Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome.(恐声症”一词的字面意思是“对声音的憎恨”，有时被称为选择性声音敏感性综合症)”可推知，对书页翻动的声音感到恼火的亨利可能患有恐音症，其他选项“简通常一个人吃午饭”，“南希经常对她的孩子尖叫”和“彼得总是担心他的学业”均不符合恐音症症状。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“It may even activate their fight-or-flight response, making them want to run away. In extreme cases, that feeling of panic may result in intense anger and even end up expressing rage physically.(它甚至可能会激活他们的战斗或逃跑反应，让他们想要逃跑。在极端情况下，这种恐慌感可能会导致强烈的愤怒，甚至最终以身体方式表达愤怒)”可知，人们咀嚼食物的这种声音可能会激活人们的战斗或逃跑反应，让他们想要逃跑，甚至会产生一种恐慌感，导致人们愤怒。由此推知，划线句子意为“人们咀嚼食物的声音可能会引发患者的焦虑或恐慌。”划线单词意为“引起”，与B项“Cause.(引起)”意思一致。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sufferers use coping strategies that include avoiding places with lots of noises, like restaurants, or moving away when they feel like raging against someone due to their breathing.(患者使用的应对策略包括避开噪音很大的地方，比如餐馆，或者当他们因为呼吸而想对某人发怒时就走开)”可推知，对于恐音症来说，远离噪音是一个潜在的解决方案。故选C。
C
Cao Dewang was born in May 1946 in Shanghai. His family is said to have high social standing in Fujian province. But his family background didn’t guarantee a wealthy lifestyle. According to Cao, soon after he was born, his family lost all of their possessions on their way back from Shanghai to Fujian.
After losing their wealth, the family farm became their only means of survival. Cao worked on his family’s farm, and there were many days when he’d go without food. In order to support his family, he dropped out of school when he was 14 and began to work. Nonetheless,he taught himself over a thousand Chinese characters with the help of a dictionary.
Cao began selling tobacco leaves and fruit to earn a living. He also worked as a cook and repaired bicycles. For over twenty years, he worked 16 hours a day to escape poverty.
Cao Dewang was working as a sales manager at a glass factory run by the local government for glass used in water meters. He saved up his earnings until he had enough to buy out the very factory in 1983.
Japanese car producers were looking to set up production of their vehicles in China in the 80’s. Cao saw the opportunity and dove into the production of vehicle glass, establishing the Yaohua Automotive Glass Co. in 1987.
Now named Fuyao Group, it started as a joint venture company before it was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1993 and on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2015. Headquartered in Fuging, Fujian, it is currently one of the largest auto glass producers in the world. Audi, Fiat, Ford, Honda, and Nissan are among Fuyao’s biggest customers.
Since 2013, the Fuyao Group had been looking to establish a factory in the U.S. and was looking at possible sites. It picked the site of an abandoned GM assembly plant in Dayton, Ohio in 2014. The factory brought job opportunities to former GM workers who had been unemployed for a long time.
Not disregarding his contributions to China’s economy, Cao is considered as China’s most generous philanthropist. Cao believes, “The more I donate, the more I realize how little use I have for money.” He further adds that his fortune is better used in the education of children.
28. What can be learned about young Cao Dewang
A. He led a wealthy life. B. He was home schooled.
C. He struggled to survive. D. He grew up in Shanghai.
29. What was the history of the Fuyao Group
A. It used to be a car maker.
B. It originated from a local glass factory.
C. It became the world’s largest glass producer in 1987.
D. It first got most of its profits by making water meters.
30. What do we know about Fuyao’s glass factory in Davton
A. It was built in 2013. B. It won support from GM.
C. It hired many laid-off GM workers. D. It helped restore many abandoned plants.
31. What do Cao Dewang’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. Money is worthless sometimes. B. A good name is better than money.
C. Money makes the world go around. D. Money should be used for meaningful things.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D

Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal ’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.
32. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station
A. They are hard to get rid of. B. They lead to air pollution.
C. They appear in different forms. D. They damage the instruments.
33. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program
A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.
B. To sharpen students’ communication skills.
C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.
D. To link space technology with school education.
34. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program
A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs.
C. Adjust work schedules. D. Grade their homework.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts
B. Space: The Final Homework Frontier
C. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom
D. HUNCH: A College Admission Reform
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。本文介绍了美国国家航空航天局的HUNCH计划。参与这个计划的高中生制作供美国国家航空航天局使用的产品，此计划的目的是把航天技术与学校教育结合起来，把空间技术与带进课堂，与学校教育相结合，这项计划实施结果显示会影响到学生的生活和大学录取。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的Bacteria are annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms form our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.可知，细菌对宇航员来说是个令人讨厌的问题。这种来自我们身体的微生物在国际空间站的表面不受控制地生长，宇航员每周要花几个小时来清理它们。也就是说它们很难去掉。其中的“the microorganisms”包括“bacteria”。由此可知， A项正确。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案).可知，HUNCH旨在把高中教室和NASA的工程师联系起来。Gordon的学生一直在研究如何在零重力下杀死细菌；结合最后一段中的Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.可知，学生每天都给NASA的工程师发邮件一起探讨（如何杀死空间站的细菌这一空间技术）这个问题。由此可推断出HUNCH program的目的把空间技术与学校教育相结合。故D项正确。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”可知，NASA的工程师会亲自审核学生们所做的产品。故A项正确。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章以国际空间站里的微生物很难清除开头，引出宇航员们解决此问题的途径——借助美国国家航空航天局的HUNCH高中班，此计划的目的是把航天技术与学校教育结合起来。在这项计划里，学生们通过homework（制作供美国国家航空航天局使用的产品）探索无疆的太空，因此“太空：最后的功课疆域”最适合做文章的标题。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了快递员的重要性以及他们的辛苦。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：这句话最近被更新了，现在人们普遍认为，这七个东西已经被整合成一个东西——一个包裹。此处在句中作谓语，由recently可知，应用现在完成时，主语the saying和动词update是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是单数，助动词应用has，故填has been updated。
【57题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：这句话最近被更新了，现在人们普遍认为，这七个东西已经被整合成一个东西——一个包裹。空处引导主语从句，it是形式主语，真正的主语是空处引导的主语从句，从句句意完整不缺少任何成分，应用无任何意义只起连接作用的that引导，故填that。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：调整后的俗语说明了包裹在当今中国人民生活中的重要性。此处应用形容词adjusted作定语，修饰名词saying，表示“调整过的”，故填adjusted。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意：虽然快递行业在过去十年蓬勃发展，许多人严重依赖包裹来维持正常生活，但人们很容易忘记这个网络最重要的部分——数百万快递员将物品运送给收件人。此处应用副词heavily作状语，修饰动词短语rely on，故填heavily。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然快递行业在过去十年蓬勃发展，许多人严重依赖包裹来维持正常生活，但人们很容易忘记这个网络最重要部分——数百万快递员将物品运送给收件人。it be+形容词+to do sth.固定句型，意为“做某事是……”，it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，故填to forget。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意：在中国，这些重要的人通常都有繁忙的日程安排和繁重的工作量。have busy schedules 和handle heavy workloads是并列关系，应用连词and，故填and。
【62题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：例如，在像北京这样的大城市，每个快递员通常每天收发200到300个包裹，即使在非高峰期也是如此。off-peak period意为“非高峰期”，period是可数名词，前面无冠词，应用复数形式表示泛指，故填periods。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意：人们称他们为“忙碌的蜜蜂”，以此来纪念他们的辛勤工作。此处应用形容词性物主代词their作定语，修饰hard work，故填their。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：有时，他们会赶时间，并打算投递大量包裹，从而增加了发生交通事故的风险。a large number of固定搭配，意为“大量的；许多”，故填a。

【答案】Dear fellow students.
I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Students’ Union. I’m writing to advocate all the students to reduce the time of using social media on behalf of the Students Union of our school.
Recent years have witnessed the high development of science and technology, bringing great convenience to our daily communication. However, it is not uncommon that quite a few students attach too much importance to their “virtual” friends on social media, influencing their relationship with friends in real life. Worse still, social media has occupied too much of their spare time, even their study time, doing harm to their academic results.
Please be aware of the problem. Let’s use social media properly and limit our time on it.

第二节 读后续写(25分)
67. 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。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”

As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night ” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.”
