Andrea Peterson was five when she and her mother were trapped on the ledge (窗台) of a burning building.“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea leaped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did.She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed good-naturedly the way grown-ups do when a kid says they want to be an astronaut or a sports star. But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize about such grand goals.“You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her, “you’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.”And then, as it tends to do, life sidelined her dreams. She was studying for a degree in aviation (航空) technology — the only female in her class — and that’s where she met her husband, Dennis.Later, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer, and Peterson spent 31 years caring for him. At 61, she went on an ambulance ride-along. It turned out to be a life-and-death situation, and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance. She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with various hurts and ills.After a year, she told her boss she wanted to be a firefighter.The fact that everyone else in her training unit was between 18 and 21 didn’t stop her. She passed the written test, she cleared the physical and, finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality.4 What inspired Peterson to be a firefighter A. Her physical abilities. B. Her being rescued in fire.C Her mother’s expectation. D. Her lifesaving experience.5. Why did the rescuers laugh about Peterson’s dream A. They thought it was a satisfying dream.B. They thought she was gifted in being a nurse.C. They thought it was just a childish dream for a girl.D. They thought kids should dream of being an astronaut.6. Which words can best describe Peterson A. Curious and wise. B. Talented and educated.C. Creative and devoted. D. Determined and caring.7. What can we know from the text A. She was most experienced in her training unit.B. Her dream came true because of her childhood calling.C. Her aviation technology enabled her to realize her dream.D. Years of attending her husband contributed to realizing her dream.【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是名叫Andrea Peterson的小女孩五岁时在一次火灾中被救，立志要成为一名消防员，克服了种种障碍后，终于实现了自己的梦想。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea leaped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did.(“把孩子放下来！”下面的一名消防员说，小Andrea跳进了救生员的怀抱，实现了她一生的梦想：她想像救援人员一样扑灭大火)”可知，在小Andrea被救后，她就有了要成为消防员的终生梦想。故选B项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed good-naturedly the way grown-ups do when a kid says they want to be an astronaut or a sports star.(她把这些话告诉了那些救过她的人，他们善意地笑了起来，就像大人们听到孩子说他们想成为宇航员或体育明星那样)”可推知，在这些救援者眼里，她的梦想就如同孩子说自己想要成为宇航员一样的幼稚。故选C项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的““Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea leaped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did.(“把孩子放下来！”下面的一名消防员说，小Andrea跳进了救生员的怀抱，实现了她一生的梦想：她想像救援人员一样扑灭大火)”可知，小Andrea在五岁就有了想成为消防员的梦想，以及第六段中的“At 61, she went on an ambulance ride-along. It turned out to be a life-and-death situation, and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling.(61岁时，她上了救护车。这是一个生死攸关的情况，Peterson感到了很久以前童年时代的召唤)”可知，61岁的她感受到了童年梦想的召唤，在最后一段中“The fact that everyone else in her training unit was between 18 and 21 didn’t stop her. She passed the written test, she cleared the physical and, finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality.(虽然她的训练组里其他人都在18到21岁之间，但这并没有阻止她。她通过了笔试，通过了体检，最后，那个小女孩的梦想成为了现实)”讲述的是最终实现了梦想。由此推知，Peterson是意志坚定的；根据倒数第三段中的“Later, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer, and Peterson spent 31 years caring for him.(后来，Dennis被诊断出患有癌症，Peterson花了31年的时间照顾他。)”可知，她照顾她的丈夫31年，说明她很关心人。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Later, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer, and Peterson spent 31 years caring for him.(后来，Dennis被诊断出患有癌症，Peterson花了31年的时间照顾他)”可知，Peterson照顾她丈夫31年，以及下文中的“She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with various hurts and ills.(她发现，多年来对Dennis的照顾使她为应对各种伤害和疾病做好了准备)”可知，她在照顾她丈夫过程中，让她应对各种疾病和伤害做好准备。由此推知，她多年照顾她丈夫促进了实现她的梦想。故选D项。CSome 20 percent of adults are procrastinators (拖延症患者). Everyone might put off a task or two, but long-term procrastinators do it at home, at school, at work and in their relationships.For years, researchers have focused on the personalities of people who procrastinate. The results suggest procrastinators may be impulsive (冲动), worriers and have trouble regulating their emotions. But procrastinators are not lazy. They’re actually very busy doing other things than what they’re supposed to be doing. Though procrastinators may think they perform better under pressure, studies have reported the opposite. And when deadlines are uncertain, procrastinators tend to delay their work.When people put off a tough task, they feel good-in the moment. Procrastinating is a way to avoid the negative emotions linked to the task. But the relief it provides is only temporary, and many seek out ways to stop procrastinating.In fact, most research today suggests procrastination is a behavioral pattern, which means it’s something you can change, regardless of whether you’re impulsive. What works best is still under research. Some scientists have reported success with time management. But the evidence for that is all over the map. That’s because poor time management is a symptom not a cause of procrastination.For some procrastinators, seemingly obvious tips can work. Researchers advise students to simply put down their smartphones. Silencing notifications or studying in the library rather than at home can regulate distractions and keep people on task. But that won’t be enough for many people. Stubborn procrastinators may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type of therapy, which involves managing thoughts and emotions and trying to change behavior, seemed to be the most helpful. Still, not many studies have examined treatments, and there’s room for improvement.8. What does procrastination mean to longtime procrastinators A. A personal advantage. B. A habitual behavior.C. A working motivation. D. An excuse for laziness.9. What do experts think of procrastinators A. They are inactive. B. They are efficient.C. They are anxious. D. They are careful.10. What causes people to procrastinate A. Their temporary relief from the stress.B. Their imperfection in personalities.C. Their poor time management at work.D. Their high ability to deal with hard work.11. What may be the best procrastination treatment according to the text A. Avoiding smartphones. B. Proper studying places.C. Good time management. D. Cognitive behavioral therapy.【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了拖延症的定义、原因以及疗法。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Some 20 percent of adults are procrastinators (拖延症患者). Everyone might put off a task or two, but long-term procrastinators do it at home, at school, at work and in their relationships. (大约20%成年人是拖延症患者。每个人都可能会推迟一两个任务，但长期拖延者会在家里、学校、工作和人际关系中拖延。)”可知，长期拖延症患者不只是在任务上拖延，而是生活中的方方面面都是如此，这说明拖延已经成为他们的一种习惯。故选B项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“The results suggest procrastinators may be impulsive (冲动), worriers and have trouble regulating their emotions. But procrastinators are not lazy. They’re actually very busy doing other things than what they’re supposed to be doing. (研究结果表明，拖延者可能很冲动，是个发愁的人，难以控制自己的情绪。但是拖延者并不懒惰。他们实际上忙着做其他事情，而不是他们应该做的事情。)”可知，专家们认为拖延症患者冲动而且焦虑（anxious.），管理不好自己的情绪，干活不偷懒，但是却是瞎忙。故选C项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“When people put off a tough task, they feel good-in the moment. Procrastinating is a way to avoid the negative emotions linked to the task. But the relief it provides is only temporary, and many seek out ways to stop procrastinating. (当人们推迟一项艰巨的任务时，他们在那一刻感觉很好。拖延是一种避免与任务相关的负面情绪的方法。但它提供的缓解只是暂时的，许多人都在寻找停止拖延的方法。)”可知，拖延会使人短暂地从压力中解脱出来，避免与任务相关的负面情绪，所以导致人们拖延。故选A项。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“For some procrastinators, seemingly obvious tips can work. Researchers advise students to simply put down their smartphones. Silencing notifications or studying in the library rather than at home can regulate distractions and keep people on task. But that won’t be enough for many people. Stubborn procrastinators may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type of therapy, which involves managing thoughts and emotions and trying to change behavior, seemed to be the most helpful. (对于一些拖延症患者来说，看似显而易见的建议是有效的。研究人员建议学生们放下智能手机。将通知静音或在图书馆学习，而不是在家里学习，可以控制干扰，让人们专注于工作。但这对很多人来说还不够。顽固的拖延症患者可能会从认知行为疗法中受益。这种类型的治疗，包括管理思想和情绪，并试图改变行为，似乎是最有帮助的。)”可知，相比于放下手机，选择适合的学习环境，包括了思想和情绪管理以及试图改变行为的认知行为疗法似乎是最有帮助的。故选D项。DAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start o feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds-nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by peaking because you’re repairing that failure by using word.In the US, it may start from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to develop common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally devoted to developing a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier or some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.12. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation A. The Dutch B. AmericansC. The English. D. The Japanese13. What might the Japanese agree with in conversation A. Speaking more gives the upper handB. Speak out what you have in your mind.C. Great minds think alike without wordsD. The shorter talking silence, the better14. What can we learn from the text A. A four-second silence in conversation is universalB. It’s hand for Americans to reach n common agreementC. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears15. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean A. Similarity B. DifferenceC. Diversity. D. Misunderstanding【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了谈话中的沉默文化。尽管交谈中出现停顿是普遍存在的，但我们对沉默的认识在不同的文化中有着巨大的差异。不同的文化中沉默时间不同，对于沉默的看法也不同。相比而言，亲密的朋友和家人之间更容易出现沉默。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most.(在说英语的人当中，可能最多只有一两秒钟。)”和第三段“Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start o feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds-nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.(荷兰语和英语的研究发现，当谈话中的沉默时间延长到4秒时，人们会开始感到不安。相反，另一项关于商务会议的研究发现，日本人喜欢8.2秒的沉默时间——几乎是美国人会议时间的两倍。)”可知，日本人可能在谈话中有最长沉默。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all.(在日本，人们认为最好的交流方式是完全不说话。)”可知，在日本，一般认为最好的交流是一句话不说的时候，因此推断日本人认为“英雄所见略同”，即Great minds think alike without words，故选C。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.(例如，在你最亲密的朋友和家人中间，你会比在你不太熟悉的人中间更容易安静地坐着。)”可知，亲密的人之间更容易出现沉默，因此我们和家人越亲密，沉默越容易出现。故选D。【15题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.(例如，在你最亲密的朋友和家人中间，你会比在你不太熟悉的人中间更容易安静地坐着。)”可知，越亲密的人，越容易出现沉默，因此推断画线句句意是：相比而言，当有更多相似时，也许沉默更容易出现。故画线词意思与similarlity意义相近。故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five Tips That Help You Fall Asleep QuicklyLower the room temperatureOur body temperature changes when we fall asleep.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.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。When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer.【解析】【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟3.词汇激活行为类①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch②交流：communicate/talk/chat③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home④发现：find/discover/find out/spot情绪类①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful②积极：positive attitude/act positively【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句)[高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句)[高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语)福州超德中学2023—2024年第一学期高三期末考试英语试卷第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对话前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话读一遍。1.What will Mary do this Saturday A.Stay with her mother.

Andrea Peterson was five when she and her mother were trapped on the ledge (窗台) of a burning building.“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea leaped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did.She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed good-naturedly the way grown-ups do when a kid says they want to be an astronaut or a sports star. But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize about such grand goals.“You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her, “you’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.”And then, as it tends to do, life sidelined her dreams. She was studying for a degree in aviation (航空) technology — the only female in her class — and that’s where she met her husband, Dennis.Later, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer, and Peterson spent 31 years caring for him. At 61, she went on an ambulance ride-along. It turned out to be a life-and-death situation, and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance. She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with various hurts and ills.After a year, she told her boss she wanted to be a firefighter.The fact that everyone else in her training unit was between 18 and 21 didn’t stop her. She passed the written test, she cleared the physical and, finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality.4. What inspired Peterson to be a firefighter A. Her physical abilities. B. Her being rescued in fire.C. Her mother’s expectation. D. Her lifesaving experience.5. Why did the rescuers laugh about Peterson’s dream A. They thought it was a satisfying dream.B. They thought she was gifted in being a nurse.C They thought it was just a childish dream for a girl.D. They thought kids should dream of being an astronaut.6. Which words can best describe Peterson A. Curious and wise. B. Talented and educated.C. Creative and devoted. D. Determined and caring.7. What can we know from the text A. She was most experienced in her training unit.B. Her dream came true because of her childhood calling.C. Her aviation technology enabled her to realize her dream.D. Years of attending her husband contributed to realizing her dream.CSome 20 percent of adults are procrastinators (拖延症患者). Everyone might put off a task or two, but long-term procrastinators do it at home, at school, at work and in their relationships.For years, researchers have focused on the personalities of people who procrastinate. The results suggest procrastinators may be impulsive (冲动), worriers and have trouble regulating their emotions. But procrastinators are not lazy. They’re actually very busy doing other things than what they’re supposed to be doing. Though procrastinators may think they perform better under pressure, studies have reported the opposite. And when deadlines are uncertain, procrastinators tend to delay their work.When people put off a tough task, they feel good-in the moment. Procrastinating is a way to avoid the negative emotions linked to the task. But the relief it provides is only temporary, and many seek out ways to stop procrastinating.In fact, most research today suggests procrastination is a behavioral pattern, which means it’s something you can change, regardless of whether you’re impulsive. What works best is still under research. Some scientists have reported success with time management. But the evidence for that is all over the map. That’s because poor time management is a symptom not a cause of procrastination.For some procrastinators, seemingly obvious tips can work. Researchers advise students to simply put down their smartphones. Silencing notifications or studying in the library rather than at home can regulate distractions and keep people on task. But that won’t be enough for many people. Stubborn procrastinators may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type of therapy, which involves managing thoughts and emotions and trying to change behavior, seemed to be the most helpful. Still, not many studies have examined treatments, and there’s room for improvement.8. What does procrastination mean to longtime procrastinators A A personal advantage. B. A habitual behavior.C. A working motivation. D. An excuse for laziness.9. What do experts think of procrastinators A. They are inactive. B. They are efficient.C. They are anxious. D. They are careful.10. What causes people to procrastinate A. Their temporary relief from the stress.B. Their imperfection in personalities.C. Their poor time management at work.D. Their high ability to deal with hard work.11. What may be the best procrastination treatment according to the text A. Avoiding smartphones. B. Proper studying places.C. Good time management. D. Cognitive behavioral therapy.DAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start o feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds-nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by peaking because you’re repairing that failure by using word.In the US, it may start from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to develop common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally devoted to developing a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier or some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.12.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.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。When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 精品解析：福建省福州超德中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期末考试英语试卷（原卷版）.docx 精品解析：福建省福州超德中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期末考试英语试卷（解析版）.docx
