Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive-through window of a local cafe, he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him. He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they’re not already having one.
Oliver has never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was published by a news website in November. He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast —he had saved a life.
According to the website, someone had written a letter stating that on July 18th, he was planning on committing suicide. The writer said that while he was at the drive-through window, he was planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up the tab and told him to have a great day.
“I wondered why someone would buy coffee for a stranger for no reason,” said the writer. “Why me Why today If I were a religious man, I would take this as a sign. This random act of kindness was directed at me on this day for a purpose.”
When the writer arrived home, he couldn’t hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply. “I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house.”
The writer says that in the months following that fateful event, he does at least one kind thing for others every day. “To the nice man in the SUV, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please know your kind gesture has truly saved a life,” he said. “On July 18, 2017, I had the greatest day.”
4. What is Oliver’s act of kindness every day
A. Publishing positive news. B. Greeting restaurant workers.
C. Buying others breakfast. D. Taking groceries for neighbors.
5. What is special about Oliver’s act of kindness on July 18, 2017
A. It brought him thank-you letters.
B. It was reported on a news website.
C. It was the first time he’d paid for others.
D. It prevented someone from killing himself.
6. What does the underlined phrase “picked up the tab” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Paid the bill. B. Parked the car.
C. Left a message. D. Ordered a drink.
7 How did the writer of the letter feel after the event
A. He felt guilty. B. He felt grateful.

While flatmates can bring about stress and difficulty, they can also be great company and develop into wonderful, lifelong friends. Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone, consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.
Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem. A shared living space also means you're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. Additionally, when you're splitting costs, you can afford a better apartment than you could alone. However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well. If your flatmate gets laid off or quits his job, you may have to pick up his bill until he's back on his feet. Your flatmate may also insist he owe less because he doesn't use the shower too often.
In addition to bills and the rent, flatmates also typically share responsibility for unpleasant tasks, such as cleaning or doing the dishes. Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. You may have to wake up earlier than you'd like to get a hot shower before work or give up watching your favorite show because your flatmate beat you to it.
When you live alone, you get to determine the terms of your social life, and you go home to an empty house or apartment at the end of the day. That can be preferable if you're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment. With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with wanted house guests.
8. What's the main reason for most people to share a flat
A. Ensuring safety. B. Saving money.
C. Sharing housework. D. Reducing loneliness.
9 What does the author say about a serious flatmate
A. He likes a peaceful life.
B. He has excellent social manners.
C. He keeps everything in the room tidy.
D. He often turns away unexpected guests.
10. How does the author express his opinions
A By describing the process. B. By stating an argument.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing the outcome.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Buying a Flat or Sharing One
B. The Reasons for Sharing a Flat.
C. How to Share a Flat with a Flatmate
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Flatsharing.
D
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing (安装) outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
12. What can we learn about light pollution
A. It has little effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
13. Why does light pollution affect the climate
A. It increases the temperature at night.
B. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
14. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.

Pansy Takes a Trip
Very excited, Anika hugged her favorite doll tight as she followed her parents through the airport. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. When she walked down the narrow aisle (走廊、过道) of the plane to find her seat, a tall flight attendant (服务人员) smiled at her and asked where they were going. “Walt Disney World,” Anika said with a smile, “We’ll be there for a week.”
“Have a wonderful trip,” replied the flight attendant, pointing to her name tag (名签), “I’m Leanne. You let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.”
“Thanks. I’m Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her, “Do you fly to Disney World every day ”
Leanne shook her head. “I get to fly all over the world. It can be fun to explore new places.”
The flight was going to be a few hours. Anika read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and asked Leanne for a pillow (枕头). The flight attendant returned with a pillow, a blanket, and a sleep mask to cover her eyes. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket with her and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived!
“Already ” yawned (打哈欠) Anika. She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her parents were busily packing up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from passengers as she went.
“Now you will have lots of energy to enjoy your visit to Disney World!” She smiled to Anika. “I will see you next week on your return flight home.”
Anika was delighted to be in the new city. When her family got to the hotel, she couldn’t wait to bring Pansy along to see all the amazing sights with her. She looked around, but she couldn’t find her doll.
She searched through the bags and jackets, but Pansy was nowhere to be found.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hugging Pansy tight again, Anika felt even more excited than she was on vacation last week.

Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive-through window of a local cafe, he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him. He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they’re not already having one.
Oliver has never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was published by a news website in November. He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast —he had saved a life.
According to the website, someone had written a letter stating that on July 18th, he was planning on committing suicide. The writer said that while he was at the drive-through window, he was planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up the tab and told him to have a great day.
“I wondered why someone would buy coffee for a stranger for no reason,” said the writer. “Why me Why today If I were a religious man, I would take this as a sign. This random act of kindness was directed at me on this day for a purpose.”
When the writer arrived home, he couldn’t hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply. “I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house.”
The writer says that in the months following that fateful event, he does at least one kind thing for others every day. “To the nice man in the SUV, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please know your kind gesture has truly saved a life,” he said. “On July 18, 2017, I had the greatest day.”
4. What is Oliver’s act of kindness every day

C. Buying others breakfast. D. Taking groceries for neighbors.
5. What is special about Oliver’s act of kindness on July 18, 2017

B. It was reported on a news website.
C. It was the first time he’d paid for others.
D. It prevented someone from killing himself.
6. What does the underlined phrase “picked up the tab” mean in Paragraph 3

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Glen Oliver每天早上在给自己买早餐时，总是为后面的顾客点的咖啡买单，他的善举无意中挽救了一个想自杀的人的生命，并且这人也开始每天做善事。
【4题详解】
细节推理题。根据第一段“Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive-through window of a local cafe, he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him.(每天格伦·奥利弗在一家当地咖啡馆的免下车窗口点早餐咖啡时，他都会坚持为后面的顾客点的咖啡买单。)”可知，Glen Oliver每天早上为后面的人买早餐，故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast —he had saved a life. (他发现他不仅给别人买了早餐，他还拯救了一条生命。)”，以及第三段“The writer said that while he was at the drive-through window, he was planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up the tab and told him to have a great day. (写信人说，当他在免下车窗口时，他打算回家，写张纸条，结束自己的生命。然而，当他去付咖啡和松饼的钱时，收银员告诉他，前面越野车里的那个人已经付账了，并祝他今天过得愉快。)”，第五段“I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. (那一刻，我决定改变今天的计划，为某人做点好事。)”可知，2017年7月18日Glen Oliver的善举使一个人放弃了要自杀的想法，并决定也为别人做好事。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, (当他去付咖啡和松饼的钱时)”，并结合第一段“Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive-through window of a local cafe, he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him. (每天格伦·奥利弗在一家当地咖啡馆的免下车窗口点早餐咖啡时，他都会坚持为后面的顾客点的咖啡买单。)”可知，当这个人为早餐结账时，收银员告诉他，坐在他前面的SUV车里的那个人已经给他买了账单。所以picked up the tab意为“付款买单”，与Paid the bill同义。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“To the nice man in the SUV, thank you from the bottom of my heart. (对SUV里的好男人，我从心底感谢你。)”可知，写信者非常感激Glen Oliver。故选B项。

While flatmates can bring about stress and difficulty, they can also be great company and develop into wonderful, lifelong friends. Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone, consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.
Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem. A shared living space also means you're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. Additionally, when you're splitting costs, you can afford a better apartment than you could alone. However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well. If your flatmate gets laid off or quits his job, you may have to pick up his bill until he's back on his feet. Your flatmate may also insist he owe less because he doesn't use the shower too often.
In addition to bills and the rent, flatmates also typically share responsibility for unpleasant tasks, such as cleaning or doing the dishes. Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. You may have to wake up earlier than you'd like to get a hot shower before work or give up watching your favorite show because your flatmate beat you to it.
When you live alone, you get to determine the terms of your social life, and you go home to an empty house or apartment at the end of the day. That can be preferable if you're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment. With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with wanted house guests.
8. What's the main reason for most people to share a flat
A. Ensuring safety. B. Saving money.
C. Sharing housework. D. Reducing loneliness.
9. What does the author say about a serious flatmate
A. He likes a peaceful life.
B. He has excellent social manners.
C. He keeps everything in the room tidy.
D. He often turns away unexpected guests.
10. How does the author express his opinions
A. By describing the process. B. By stating an argument.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing the outcome.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Buying a Flat or Sharing One
B. The Reasons for Sharing a Flat.
C. How to Share a Flat with a Flatmate
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Flatsharing.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了合租房屋的利弊。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem.A shared living space also means you're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. ”（大多数人和室友联手，主要是因为经济问题。一个共享的生活空间也意味着你只需要承担一半的租金或账单。）可知 ,很多人合租住房主要是为了省钱。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据最后一段“That can be preferable if you're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment.”（如果你是个认真的学生或专业人士，那就更好了，这样的人需要在安静的公寓里工作和休息。）可以推知，严肃的合租者喜欢过平静的生活。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem.”（大多数人和室友联手，主要是因为经济问题。）及“However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well.”（不过，对于室友来说，钱也是一个争论的焦点。）第三段中“Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. ”（如果没有室友，清洁和整理的责任都是你一个人的。然而，室友也经常分享许多其他人不愿意分享的东西: 比如电视、浴室、食物甚至衣服。）第四段中“With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with wanted house guests.”（和室友在一起，会有意想不到的客人，你的社交选择会急剧增加。然而要记住的是，有一个室友意味着他可能觉得要有交际，而你不想，你可能不得不应付想要交际的房客。）可知 ,作者是通过对比费用分担、内务和设施分享及社交活动等方面的利弊来阐述其观点的，选项C与文意相符，故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone, consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.”（在决定是和室友一起住还是一个人住之前，仔细考虑一下伴随而来的所有优缺点。）同时根据下文谈到的费用分担、内务和设施分享及社交活动等方面的利弊，可知本文主要介绍了合租房屋的利弊。D项 “合租的利弊”可以作为本文嘴角标题。故选D项。
D
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing (安装) outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
12. What can we learn about light pollution
A. It has little effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
13. Why does light pollution affect the climate
A. It increases the temperature at night.
B. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
14. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“ It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.(它展示了各种形式的误用人造光。造成光污染的明显原因是户外照明产品使用不当。它可以是办公室照明，汽车大灯，车站灯，街灯等等)”可知，光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成的，可以说是光技术的坏影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键句“It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.(它还会导致温室气体的释放和全球变暖。毕竟，煤或天然气是用来发电的)”可知，光需要电，而电是烧煤或煤气发出来的。因此，从这个角度来说光污染会引起全球变暖。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.(此外，只使用家庭和办公室所需的照明设备)”可知，在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减少光污染，即避免不必要的照明。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.(信不信由你，许多生活在城市地区的人在晚上看不到晴朗的天空和星星。让我们为减少污染贡献自己的一份力量)”可知， 光污染非常严重，该问题有待紧急解决。故选D。

【19题详解】

You know your friend will be late and you will miss it!(例如，当你的朋友接你去看电影时，不要安排会面。你知道你的朋友会迟到，而你会错过它！)”举例说明了我们不要过度依赖朋友，因为他们总会迟到，导致你错过一些事情，E项“不要让自己陷入依赖朋友的境地。”符合，引起下文，故选E。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是艾米的友谊触礁了，所以她在一个论坛交流上写了一篇帖子来寻求建议。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：从小学开始，笨手笨脚的艾米和她的朋友珍妮，一个受欢迎的友好的女孩，已经是8年的好朋友了。分析句子结构可知，空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词“girl”，“friend”的形容词是“friendly”，意为“友好的”，故填friendly。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：无论她们是走路上学，做作业，还是只是在周末闲逛，她们几乎从没有在彼此的视线之外。由上文的“have been good friends for eight years”可知，她们是多年的朋友了，因此形影不离，即“几乎从没有在彼此的视线之外”，“在……的视线之外”是固定短语be out of sb.’s sight，因此空格处是out，故填out。
【38题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：今天，艾米收到一个可怕的惊喜，珍妮被看到在一个咖啡馆周六下午和另一个女孩聊天。see sb. doing sth.是固定短语，意为“看见某人正在做某事”，句中表示“珍妮被看到在一个咖啡馆周六下午正和另一个女孩聊天”，“某人被看见正做某事”是sb. be seen doing sth.，因此空格处是现在分词chatting。故填chatting。
【39题详解】
考查省略句。句意：听到这些，艾米非常生气，不知所措，不知道下一步该做什么。根据语境可知，句子表示“当听到这些时，艾米非常生气”，“当某人做某事时”用when引导时间状语从句，从句中用进行时，通篇时态是一般过去时，因此空格处是过去进行时was hearing，又因时间状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此空格处是hearing，故填hearing。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：听到这些，艾米非常生气，不知所措，不知道下一步该做什么。分析句子结构可知，空格处用副词作状语修饰形容词angry，terrible的副词是terribly，意为“非常”，故填terribly。
【41题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：在论坛上，Amy收到了两个回复，其中一个回复说这段友谊值得挽救，因为她的朋友Jenny可能想为自己的行为道歉，并给Amy一个解释。空格前有two，因此空格处是名词复数replies，故填replies。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意：在论坛上，Amy收到了两个回复，其中一个回复说这段友谊值得挽救，因为她的朋友Jenny可能想为自己的行为道歉，并给Amy一个解释。分析句子结构可知，空格处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词replies是物，作介词of的宾语，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。
【43题详解】
考查动名词和固定短语。句意：在论坛上，Amy收到了两个回复，其中一个回复说这段友谊值得挽救，因为她的朋友Jenny可能想为自己的行为道歉，并给Amy一个解释。sth. be worth doing是固定短语，意为“某物值得被做”，因此空格处用动名词saving，故填saving。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语和冠词。句意：在论坛上，Amy收到了两个回复，其中一个回复说这段友谊值得挽救，因为她的朋友Jenny可能想为自己的行为道歉，并给Amy一个解释。make an apology是固定短语，意为“道歉”，因此空格处是an，故填an。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：在论坛上，Amy收到了两个回复，其中一个回复说这段友谊值得挽救，因为她的朋友Jenny可能想为自己的行为道歉，并给Amy一个解释。an后跟名词的单数形式作宾语，explain的名词是explanation，意为“解释”，故填explanation。

Pansy Takes a Trip
Very excited, Anika hugged her favorite doll tight as she followed her parents through the airport. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. When she walked down the narrow aisle (走廊、过道) of the plane to find her seat, a tall flight attendant (服务人员) smiled at her and asked where they were going. “Walt Disney World,” Anika said with a smile, “We’ll be there for a week.”
“Have a wonderful trip,” replied the flight attendant, pointing to her name tag (名签), “I’m Leanne. You let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.”
“Thanks. I’m Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her, “Do you fly to Disney World every day ”
Leanne shook her head. “I get to fly all over the world. It can be fun to explore new places.”
The flight was going to be a few hours. Anika read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and asked Leanne for a pillow (枕头). The flight attendant returned with a pillow, a blanket, and a sleep mask to cover her eyes. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket with her and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived!
“Already ” yawned (打哈欠) Anika. She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her parents were busily packing up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from passengers as she went.
“Now you will have lots of energy to enjoy your visit to Disney World!” She smiled to Anika. “I will see you next week on your return flight home.”
Anika was delighted to be in the new city. When her family got to the hotel, she couldn’t wait to bring Pansy along to see all the amazing sights with her. She looked around, but she couldn’t find her doll.
She searched through the bags and jackets, but Pansy was nowhere to be found.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hugging Pansy tight again, Anika felt even more excited than she was on vacation last week.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
She searched through the bags and jackets, but Pansy was nowhere to be found. On thinking Pansy might have been left behind along the way, Anika burst into tears. Seeing this, her parents comforted that Pansy might turn up somewhere when they visited Disney World. There seemed to be no better choice after all. Anika went to Disney World, enjoying all the fantastic views, but when she boarded the flight back a week later, she was missing Pansy in her deep heart. It is when she walked down the narrow aisle that she saw Leanne smiling, reaching a doll to her. That was Pansy!
Hugging Pansy tight again, Anika felt even more excited than she was on vacation last week. Leanne told Anika she found Pansy in the blanket and took Pansy to fly around the world along with her. “She visited many beautiful places and couldn’t wait to tell you all that she saw.” Leanne gently patted Anika’s hair, “but never leave her alone again, for she is missing you so much.” Grateful and happy, Anika nodded, “Thank you for giving Pansy such a good trip.” and she thought to herself that she would take all her trips with Pansy in the future.
