A
Since the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) started keeping records in 1904, its
mountain landscapes, seaside wildernesses, and high desert acres have registered more
than 16 billion visits. These 3 parks are the superstars of the system, but they offer just
a glimpse of the variety listed in the 429 park units of the NPS.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Established: 1934
Visitor Centers: Oconaluftee, Sugarlands, Cades Cove
3
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
Entrance Fees: $20 per vehicle for parking, $10 per person
The Smokies are known for their incredible biodiversity; it’s said that moving from
the lowest to highest elevations within the park is the biological equivalent of traveling
from Georgia to Maine. More than 1,500 species of flowering plants, 240 types of birds,
and around 50 kinds of fish live there.
Grand Teton National Park
Established: 1929
Visitor centers: All four are open from spring to fall; check the website for specific
dates. Every center except the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Center issues boat
permits.
Entrance fee: None
Today, adventure athletes travel to the park to climb historic mountaineering routes,
backpack into wildflower-strewn basins, or ski down advanced backcountry slopes in
winter. But the park is also ideal for leisurely activities like biking, photography, and
canoeingset against the backdrop of the meandering Snake River, numerous lakes and
streams, and the Grand Teton range.
Katmai National Park
Established: 1980
Visitor centers: Brooks Camp (open daily June 1 to September 29); King Salmon
(open March to October); Robert F. Griggs (open daily early June to mid-September)
Entrance fees: None
Volcanoes and bears embody the wild heart of Katmai, located on the Alaska
Peninsula. Within the borders of the national park and preserve lie 14 active volcanoes
and North America’s largest population of protected brown bears. Visitors can hike and
canoe in Katmai. They can fish waist-deep in rivers as clear as glass. And they can
watch the best fish catcher of them all, the great Alaskan brown bear, sometimes diving
underwater for prey, sometimes catching salmon in midair.
21. How much should a couple pay if they drive a car to visit Great Smoky Mountains
National Park
4
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
A. $40. B. $30. C. $20. D. $25.

C. Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established earliest among these three
parks.
D. Tourists can get a boat permit at the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Center before
they visit Grand Teton National Park.
23. Where is the passage probably taken from
A. A travel guide. B. A newspaper.
C. A website. D. An academic article.
B
Gordon Brown was born in Scotland in 1951.His childhood was a brilliant success
because of his intellectual strength. He was accepted into middle school at 10. At 16 he
became the youngest student at Edinburgh University.
“At that time, he was a lucky boy, good at almost everything,” said his old friend
Murray Elder. However, setbacks (挫折) fell on the brilliant boy. After a rugby injury,
he became blind in his left eye. Before long, similar symptoms (症状) developed in his
right eye. “I lay in the hospital bed in total darkness, uncertain about my future,” said
Brown.
Looking back into the past, Brown didn’t complain about his bad luck. He even
said, “One door closes; you can’t play rugby any more, so you focus on other things.”
Brown was interested in student politics in university, which helped a lot in his
political career later in life.
In 1997, Brown was made Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣). He has
succeeded in giving the country a high rate of employment and the longest period of
economic growth in its history.
Compared with his successful career, Brown’s family life is full of downs. He lost
5
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
his first daughter ten days after her birth. His one-year-old youngest son has a deadly
disease. “These accidents make me appreciate my life more,” he said.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, where even 3D printers take on a huge appearance.
Soon, it will be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has just
begun construction in the desert north of Marfa.
Passersby won’t see the framework that typically come with construction. Photos
of the site show amassive 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying layer
upon layer of sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls.
This enormous machine, called the Vulcan, was developed by Texas-based 3D printing
6
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
and robotics company ICON. When the Vulcan constructs walls, it looks like “an inkjet
printer with a cartridge (墨盒) going back and forth,” Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner,
described it.
The project is a cooperation between Lambert, ICON and architects at Bjarke
Ingels Group. Lambert seeks to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new
units and 18 residential homes on a new 40-acre property. According to ICON, 3D
printing will provide new ways to build and offer greater flexibility in architectural
designs. “I’ve never been able to build with such little restriction…” Lambert tells
Reuters’ Evan Garcia. “It’s an incredible way to build.”
Images of the hotel’s inside reveal cream-colored walls and rounded wooden
surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. The structures’ walls are made
of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a
compressive strength (压缩强度) of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch. The
mixture also uses local Texas materials colored to “fit into the landscape of Marfa,” as
Lambert tells the Reuters.
ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has been used to build 3D-printed
homes in Texas and Mexico, where residents have commented on the strength of their
walls and their insulation (隔绝) from the sun. The company also adopts the technology
to help address America’s affordable housing crisis. In 2020, ICON constructed several
houses for the Community First! Village in Austin for homeless people run by the
nonprofit Mobile Loaves& Fishes.
Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026, and the existing
location will be open until 2025.
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The distinctive features of 3D printing.
B. The amazing appearance of 3D printer.
C. The framework of traditional construction.
D. The process of building a 3D-printed hotel.
29. How does Lambert feel about 3D printing
7
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
A. Appreciative. B. Pessimistic.(悲观的)
C. Cautious. D. uncertained.
30. Why are the local Texas materials used
A. To cut down transportation costs.
B. To integrate into the surroundings.
C. To enhance the safety of the hotel.
D. To protect the natural environment.
31. What can we infer about ICON
A. It is a non-profit organization devoted to 3D printing.
B. It never employed 3D printing before building the hotel.
C. It has built 3D-printed homes securing positive feedback.
D. It uses 3D printing to solve America’s luxury housing crisis.
D
Chickadees (山雀) are beloved backyard birds in North America. Black-capped
Chickadees and Carolina Chickadees are especially tough to tell apart, with the same
black cap and chin, white cheeks, and gray-buff bodies, along with the same love of
seed-filled bird feeders and similar cheeky “chick-a-dee-dee!” calls. Usually the easiest
way to tell which of these two chickadees you’re looking at is to consult a map.
Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas
Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. Yet along the
extensive, meandering line where the two species overlap, things can get unclear. They
started to share a “hybrid zone” where they regularly interbreed (异种交配) and
produce young, blurring (模糊) the lines between species.
In 2007 Robert Curry, an ornithologist and behavioral ecologist published a paper
showing that the hybrid zone had been creeping northward over more than a decade. By
that time Curry had accumulated years’ worth of chickadee blood samples from his
field sites, and he had access to tissue samples collected previously by other researchers
as well. He and his collaborators used genetic analysis to verify the composition of the
chickadee population at each site and looked at how that composition had shifted over
time. The researchers’ findings provided confirmation of what bird-watchers had
8
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
already observed: in a decade and a half the northern edge of the hybrid zone had
moved about 20 kilometers north. But why
According to the data collected from eBird in the following years, the northern
limit of Carolina Chickadees’ range is roughly the point on the map where the average
minimum winter temperature hits minus seven degrees Celsius — and that the rate of
their northward expansion in Pennsylvania has been consistent with warming winters.
Climate change is really only half of the story behind the movement of the hybrid zone.
Meanwhile, there was a strong link between the presence of hybrids and the degree to
which habitat in an area had been altered by humans. “I think what we’ve done in these
disturbed areas is we’ve planted trees that favor Black-capped Chickadees,” says,
“which has increased their populations and then increased the frequency of
hybridization between the two species in an artificial way.”
“So what will happen We don’t know yet,” Curry says. “But it will be interesting
to see.”
32. What is the easiest way to tell Black-capped Chickadees from Carolina
Chickadees
A. Recording their calls. B. Observing their shapes.
C. Comparing their looks. D. Studying their habitats.
33. What can we learn about the study in paragraph 3
A. Researchers focused on Chickadees’ behaviour.
B. The hybrid zone had a tendency to migrate north.
C. Curry gathered all the samples from his field sites.
D. The findings differed from those of bird- watchers.
34. What led to hybrid zone expanding north
A. The availability of bird feeders.
B. The increased human population.
C. The influence of global warming.
D. The introduction of new bird species.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Chickadees and Climate Change: A Tale of Adaptation
9
{#{QQABBQaUogioAAJAARgCUwGyCECQkgEAAYgGwBAEMAAASBFABAA=}#}
B. The Silent Extinction: Chickadees Losing Their Identity
C. Chickadees: Showing How Species Boundaries Can Shift and Blur
D. Peaceful Coexistence: Chickadees Thriving Together Across Species Lines

的短文。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier
than all his friends. He would complain 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.
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.

Since the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) started keeping records in 1904, its mountain landscapes, seaside wildernesses, and high desert acres have registered more than 16 billion visits. These 3 parks are the superstars of the system, but they offer just a glimpse of the variety listed in the 429 park units of the NPS.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Established: 1934
Visitor Centers: Oconaluftee, Sugarlands, Cades Cove
Entrance Fees: $20 per vehicle for parking, $10 per person
The Smokies are known for their incredible biodiversity; it’s said that moving from the lowest to highest elevations within the park is the biological equivalent of traveling from Georgia to Maine. More than 1,500 species of flowering plants, 240 types of birds, and around 50 kinds of fish live there.
Grand Teton National Park
Established: 1929
Visitor centers: All four are open from spring to fall; check the website for specific dates. Every center except the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Center issues boat permits.
Entrance fee: None
Today, adventure athletes travel to the park to climb historic mountaineering routes, backpack into wildflower-strewn basins, or ski down advanced backcountry slopes in winter. But the park is also ideal for leisurely activities like biking, photography, and canoeingset against the backdrop of the meandering Snake River, numerous lakes and streams, and the Grand Teton range.
Katmai National Park
Established: 1980
Visitor centers: Brooks Camp (open daily June 1 to September 29); King Salmon (open March to October); Robert F. Griggs (open daily early June to mid-September)
Entrance fees: None
Volcanoes and bears embody the wild heart of Katmai, located on the Alaska Peninsula. Within the borders of the national park and preserve lie 14 active volcanoes and North America’s largest population of protected brown bears. Visitors can hike and canoe in Katmai. They can fish waist-deep in rivers as clear as glass. And they can watch the best fish catcher of them all, the great Alaskan brown bear, sometimes diving underwater for prey, sometimes catching salmon in midair.
How much should a couple pay if they drive a car to visit Great Smoky Mountains National Park
A. $40. B. $30. C. $20. D. $25.
22. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage

Gordon Brown was born in Scotland in 1951.His childhood was a brilliant success because of his intellectual strength. He was accepted into middle school at 10. At 16 he became the youngest student at Edinburgh University.
“At that time, he was a lucky boy, good at almost everything,” said his old friend Murray Elder. However, setbacks (挫折) fell on the brilliant boy. After a rugby injury, he became blind in his left eye. Before long, similar symptoms (症状) developed in his right eye. “I lay in the hospital bed in total darkness, uncertain about my future,” said Brown.
Looking back into the past, Brown didn’t complain about his bad luck. He even said, “One door closes; you can’t play rugby any more, so you focus on other things.”
Brown was interested in student politics in university, which helped a lot in his political career later in life.
In 1997, Brown was made Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣). He has succeeded in giving the country a high rate of employment and the longest period of economic growth in its history.
Compared with his successful career, Brown’s family life is full of downs. He lost his first daughter ten days after her birth. His one-year-old youngest son has a deadly disease. “These accidents make me appreciate my life more,” he said.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, where even 3D printers take on a huge appearance. Soon, it will be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has just begun construction in the desert north of Marfa.
Passersby won’t see the framework that typically come with construction. Photos of the site show amassive 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying layer upon layer of sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This enormous machine, called the Vulcan, was developed by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON. When the Vulcan constructs walls, it looks like “an inkjet printer with a cartridge (墨盒) going back and forth,” Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner, described it.
The project is a cooperation between Lambert, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert seeks to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 residential homes on a new 40-acre property. According to ICON, 3D printing will provide new ways to build and offer greater flexibility in architectural designs. “I’ve never been able to build with such little restriction…” Lambert tells Reuters’ Evan Garcia. “It’s an incredible way to build.”
Images of the hotel’s inside reveal cream-colored walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive strength (压缩强度) of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch. The mixture also uses local Texas materials colored to “fit into the landscape of Marfa,” as Lambert tells the Reuters.
ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico, where residents have commented on the strength of their walls and their insulation (隔绝) from the sun. The company also adopts the technology to help address America’s affordable housing crisis. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin for homeless people run by the nonprofit Mobile Loaves& Fishes.
Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026, and the existing location will be open until 2025.
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The distinctive features of 3D printing.
B. The amazing appearance of 3D printer.
C. The framework of traditional construction.
D. The process of building a 3D-printed hotel.
29. How does Lambert feel about 3D printing
A. Appreciative. B. Pessimistic.(悲观的)
C. Cautious. D. uncertained.
30. Why are the local Texas materials used
A. To cut down transportation costs.
B. To integrate into the surroundings.
C. To enhance the safety of the hotel.
D. To protect the natural environment.
31. What can we infer about ICON
A. It is a non-profit organization devoted to 3D printing.
B. It never employed 3D printing before building the hotel.
C. It has built 3D-printed homes securing positive feedback.
D. It uses 3D printing to solve America’s luxury housing crisis.
D
Chickadees (山雀) are beloved backyard birds in North America. Black-capped Chickadees and Carolina Chickadees are especially tough to tell apart, with the same black cap and chin, white cheeks, and gray-buff bodies, along with the same love of seed-filled bird feeders and similar cheeky “chick-a-dee-dee!” calls. Usually the easiest way to tell which of these two chickadees you’re looking at is to consult a map.
Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. Yet along the extensive, meandering line where the two species overlap, things can get unclear. They started to share a “hybrid zone” where they regularly interbreed (异种交配) and produce young, blurring (模糊) the lines between species.
In 2007 Robert Curry, an ornithologist and behavioral ecologist published a paper showing that the hybrid zone had been creeping northward over more than a decade. By that time Curry had accumulated years’ worth of chickadee blood samples from his field sites, and he had access to tissue samples collected previously by other researchers as well. He and his collaborators used genetic analysis to verify the composition of the chickadee population at each site and looked at how that composition had shifted over time. The researchers’ findings provided confirmation of what bird-watchers had already observed: in a decade and a half the northern edge of the hybrid zone had moved about 20 kilometers north. But why
According to the data collected from eBird in the following years, the northern limit of Carolina Chickadees’ range is roughly the point on the map where the average minimum winter temperature hits minus seven degrees Celsius — and that the rate of their northward expansion in Pennsylvania has been consistent with warming winters. Climate change is really only half of the story behind the movement of the hybrid zone. Meanwhile, there was a strong link between the presence of hybrids and the degree to which habitat in an area had been altered by humans. “I think what we’ve done in these disturbed areas is we’ve planted trees that favor Black-capped Chickadees,” says, “which has increased their populations and then increased the frequency of hybridization between the two species in an artificial way.”
“So what will happen We don’t know yet,” Curry says. “But it will be interesting to see.”
What is the easiest way to tell Black-capped Chickadees from Carolina Chickadees
A. Recording their calls. B. Observing their shapes.
C. Comparing their looks. D. Studying their habitats.
33. What can we learn about the study in paragraph 3
A. Researchers focused on Chickadees’ behaviour.
B. The hybrid zone had a tendency to migrate north.
C. Curry gathered all the samples from his field sites.
D. The findings differed from those of bird- watchers.
34. What led to hybrid zone expanding north
A. The availability of bird feeders.
B. The increased human population.
C. The influence of global warming.
D. The introduction of new bird species.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Chickadees and Climate Change: A Tale of Adaptation
B. The Silent Extinction: Chickadees Losing Their Identity
C. Chickadees: Showing How Species Boundaries Can Shift and Blur
D. Peaceful Coexistence: Chickadees Thriving Together Across Species Lines

My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would complain 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.
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.

W: OK, I see. What sort of problems do you deal with in your work
M: The biggest problem is time — my company only hires 12 people. I primarily sell software at work, but I also need to train our customers to use it and that’s a lot of work.

W: Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, you are listening to At the Movies! I’m Nicole Reeves.
M: And I’m Anthony Hale. Good evening!
W: Tonight we’re going to look at the new James Bond film. Well, I really liked this new James Bond actor! He’s the most suitable actor that’s ever had the role.
M: I agree, a perfect 007 type.
W: Yeah, and his acting was so unbelievably natural.
M: What did you think of the story
W: It was the standard Bond movie with the usual beautiful women, the usual bad character — nothing new.
M: Well, I have to say that I thought the story was unusually good.
W: Fine, what did you think about the music I was totally impressed by it.
M: Yeah, it really added to the action scenes.
W: Yes, but unfortunately that brings up a weakness in the film for me: the special effects. Again, it’s just the same old stuff.
M: So, overall, how do you rate this movie
W: Well, I have to give it only two stars … a rating of “fair”. How about you
M: Well, I give it my highest rating … four stars out of five!
W: Hmm. Well, that’s all from us tonight. See you tomorrow and we’ll talk about a best-selling novel.

(Text 10)
M: Hi there. I’m Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I’ve appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it’s like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I’m the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who’s a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken’s birthday is in December, so we’re pretty close in age.
Sam and I aren’t completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there’s hardly any difference in our hair, and we’re the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he’ll know which one it is.
In character we’re mostly similar — we’ve both always loved music, and we’ve always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I’m not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true.
We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We’ve poured our hearts into it, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support.

【解析】
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My jaw dropped when I heard this. “Was she outside all night She could be frozen to death!” I raised my voice, a surge of rage storming inside. “But...” Jordan bit back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside, praying the cat had survived the night. Jordan followed with intense anxiety on his face. We looked into every hole and corner where Meatball possibly may go. Luckily, several minutes later, the poor thing was found shaking and curling into a tiny ball beneath a car. I picked her up immediately, unsure whether she was alive or dead. At the sight of this, Jordan was close to tears and murmured “Sorry!” all the time with guilt and regret gnawing his heart. “We need a vet, now!” I urged.
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. “I shouldn’t have let you out. I’m so sorry, buddy!” he apologized repeatedly in a soft voice. As we arrived at the animal hospital, I saw her eyes open a bit. “Thank goodness.” I thought to myself. Given careful examination and timely treatment, the little creature was finally rescued. At the sound of her familiar meow again, we breathed a sigh of relief. On our way home, Jordan held Meatball in his arms tightly as if afraid of losing it again. “We both are supposed to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.” he joked to the little thing as he stroked her back. At that moment, I suddenly realized that it was this particular experience that gave my teenage son a valuable lesson and enabled him to understand a loving parent’s good intention.
续写精析：
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”
Jordan和猫咪一样渴望自由，所以他才这样做。接下来要写妈妈的反应，能预测到妈妈的惊讶和生气。前文中有很多伏笔，比如天气冷。妈妈担心猫出去会冻死。My jaw dropped when I heard this.
惊讶的表达很多，还可以用gasp in astonishment;give a cry a surprise.
“Was she outside all night She could be frozen to death!” 照应了原文中的这句话I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
I raised my voice, a surge of rage storming inside.
生气是肯定的。这里生气还可以多样化的表达，如was burning with anger；voice trembled with anger ；There was a flash of anger in his eyes
“But...” Jordan bit back his words, stunned.
妈妈的生气和担心，让Jordan有所畏惧，无法说出自己的真实想法。
I grabbed my coat and rushed outside, praying the cat had survived the night.
语言和动作会暗示接下来的行动。还有根据As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. 我们下一步会出去找猫咪。这三个动作一气呵成，写出了妈妈急迫的心情。
Jordan followed with intense anxiety on his face.
Jordan此刻也是担心猫咪的安危。从第二段开头得知他和妈妈一起。
We looked into every hole and corner where Meatball possibly may go.
描写寻找地仔细。
Luckily, several minutes later, the poor thing was found shaking and curling into a tiny ball beneath a car.
shake和curl蜷缩，表明猫咪冻得不轻，为带去animal hospital铺垫。
I picked her up immediately, unsure whether she was alive or dead.
查看猫咪的情况。
At the sight of this, Jordan was close to tears and murmured “Sorry!” all the time with guilt and regret gnawing his heart.
Jordan为自己的错误举动感到内疚和伤心。
“We need a vet, now!” I urged.
我顾不得许多，急迫地想去救治肉球。
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.
Jordan在开头句出现，接下来还是要写Jordan对小猫的内疚的表现。
“I shouldn’t have let you out. I’m so sorry, buddy!” he apologized repeatedly in a soft voice.
