　　From the deserts to the rocky coastline， the United States offers a breathtaking range of natural landscapes. Here are some of its top picks， one in each state.
　　Massachusetts

　　Connecticut
　　With 650 feet of vertical （垂直的） drop， Connecticut’s Mohawk Mountain So Area might look modest， but its eight chairlifts provide access to 26 sidewinding trails （小径）， many of which can be skied after dark thanks to night lighting. Toward the mountain top several trails connect with snowshoe and cross-country ski paths that go deeper into Mohawk State Forest.
　　Colorado
　　The Centennial State has nearly a hundred developed and undeveloped hot springs. The heated natural water is said to relieve pain and reduce stress. For the wellness road trip， start with the 720-mile Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop from Denver to Pagosa Springs to Steamboat Springs， which highlights 17 destinations， including Glenwood Hot Springs Resort with its 405-foot-long main pool.
　　Montana
　　Helena， Montana’s laid-back capital， is often overlooked. But its location， at 3，875 feet of elevation on the eastern slope （斜坡） of the Continental Divide， makes it a mountain biker’s dream. Seventy-five miles of trails include the Mount Helena Ridge Trail， where you’ll get views of the valley below. You might see wildflowers or a black bear.

　　In the near future， you may not be waiting for packages delivered by a truck — instead， they’ll come overhead， via drone.But they might look a little different from what you’ve seen before.The Federal Aviation Administration announced new rules Monday for what it calls “unmanned aircraft” that weigh more than 0.55 pound （or 0.25 kilogram） to operate around people.
　　Among the new rules， the FAA said drones will need to broadcast their identification through a new system called Remote ID， which will help the government track both the drones and their base “control” stations and this will address security concerns.And people who manage the drones will need to have a drone pilot’s license with them whenever operating the aircraft.
　　“The new rules make way for the further integration （融入） of drones into our airspace by addressing safety and security concerns，” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson， in a statement.“They get us closer to the day when we will more routinely see drone operations such as the delivery of packages.”
　　The rules announced on Monday are the latest in a series of steps to fix regulations around drone deliveries and flights around the US.Both Amazon and UPS have been testing drone deliveries， indicating the technology isn’t far off.
　　“The framework is a critical step in allowing more complex UAS operations， with a focus on safety and security，” UPS said in a statement， referring to unmanned aircraft systems.The company added that the FAA’s moves “will advance the integration of drones into the National Airspace System”.
　　Various parts of the US government have expressed concern about how drones could be misused， a concern heightened by a series of incidents in 2018 in which drones caused Gatwick Airport in London to shut down.
　　It’ll be more than two years before the new rules go into effect， but civilian drones offered for sale in the US must be equipped with ID broadcast technology in 18 months， according to the FAA release.
24.Why will Remote ID be required for drones？（　　）
A.To guarantee safety. B.To limit their activities.
C.To improve performance. D.To increase their functions.
25.What was Steve Dickson’s attitude to the new rules？（　　）
A.Tolerant. B.Positive.
C.Skeptical. D.Objective.
26.What does the author want to show by mentioning Amazon and UPS in Paragraph 4？（　　）
A.Drones will be used in different fields. B.The new rules have been well received.
C.Drones will be used for carrying goods. D.The new rules will make a big difference.
27.What was stressed about drones’ development in the last two paragraphs？（　　）
A.A bright future. B.Great potential.
C.Serious difficulties. D.Possible challenges.
C
　　（2024·临沂高一下期末）In June 2019， Steve Wilson was going on a bike ride.Like many of us often do， he checked his phone beforehand， and saw a moving post about his friend’s daughter Linda.“She was a junior in high school at the time， she just received a life-saving kidney （肾） from a woman in town，” Wilson told CBS News.“And they didn’t even know this woman till they made the request for their daughter.”
　　“So， I became emotional.I just thought that is the coolest thing，” said Wilson， who lives in Westchester， N.Y.“I took a long bike ride and I kept thinking， ‘I would love to do something like that one day.’”
　　After seeing the post， Wilson selflessly decided to become a living donor himself， donating a kidney， while he was alive， to someone he didn’t know.
　　“I knew it would go to someone.It eventually went to someone across the country，” Wilson said.“They took my kidney to the airport and flew it out to the West Coast.” He said he still doesn’t know the person who received his kidney and he probably never will， which he’s fine with.He just wanted it to change somebody’s life， he said.
　　Going through an operation may seem frightening， but Wilson says all it takes is two weeks of your life for recovery.And to prove that it isn’t burdensome， Wilson and his fellow living donors finished an even harder mission： Summiting （登上） Mount Kilimanjaro.
　　“I do think that having that purpose made it a little bit easier.But there were some people — and I was one of them — that really plowed hard to get through.And the purpose behind it was the reason you just kept going，” Wilson said.
　　The team reached the summit on 10 March — symbolically， World Kidney Day.As for whether the climb to encourage living donations was worth it， Wilson said he inspired at least his friends to consider becoming living donors， but he thinks the Kilimanjaro summit could have inspired countless others.
28.What made Steve Wilson decide to donate his kidney？（　　）
A.His past life experience. B.His friend’s suggestions.
C.The woman’s noble behaviour. D.The request from Linda’s parents.
29.Why did Steve Wilson choose to climb Mount Kilimanjaro？（　　）
A.To show his bravery. B.To display his strength.
C.To inspire people to donate kidneys. D.To inspire people to conquer difficulties.
30.Which of the following can best describe Steve Wilson？（　　）
A.Generous and caring. B.Smart and hard-working.
C.Outgoing and humorous. D.Ambitious and adventurous.
31.What would be the best title for the text？（　　）
A.A Sick Girl and a Kind-hearted Woman B.A Kidney Donor and an Unknown Receiver
C.Donating a Kidney after Climbing a Mountain D.Conquering a Mountain after Donating a Kidney
D
　　As an astronomer， I am accustomed to observing the universe in quiet places.I observe galaxies in the deep universe — places so far away that their light takes billions of years to reach our eyes.
　　Sometimes I wonder what our own galaxy looked like billions of years ago before our solar system was born.I often stare at the Hubble Deep Field （哈勃深空区） searching for clues： galaxies colliding （碰撞）， stars exploding， and stellar nurseries.Can looking to the stars bring us closer together？
　　A couple of months ago， Betelgeuse， a bright star in the Orion constellation （猎户星座） started to get dimmer and dimmer.Astronomers all over the world thought this might be a signal that the star was about to explode.Though it might not happen for another 1，000 years or more， still I went outside every night to check it out.I was hoping that it would explode.Imagine seeing a star shining as bright as the full moon even during the day.
　　I started dreaming about using such an event to remind everyone that stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe， which came directly out of the Big Bang.Everything we breathe， touch and see was made inside of stars.The iron in our blood， calcium in our bones， and almost the entire periodic table are products of stellar evolution.
　　Betelgeuse did not explode， and more recent observations note that it is actually returning to normal.But nothing is normal here on Earth now.I am beginning to realise that we did not need a star to explode to unite us.All we needed was a common problem.
　　I am hoping that everyone on the planet is saving some time to contemplate （凝视） the universe and to realise we are not alone.No matter where we are or who we are， we are on this planet together.Since we are all made of stars， looking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse of our past and our future， and we can contemplate both together.
32.According to the article， what do we know about Betelgeuse？（　　）
A.It is a star the author tracked for years.
B.It will produce chemical elements if it explodes.
C.It is a normal star which is disappearing.
D.It will explode in ten thousand years.
33.What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in Paragraph 4 refer to？（　　）
A.Betelgeuse’s potential explosion.
B.Betelgeuse’s getting dimmer and dimmer.
C.The author’s checking out every night.
D.A star’s shining as bright as the sun.
34.Why does the author write this article？（　　）
A.To advise others to stare at a potentially exploding star recently.
B.To research into the scientific mystery in the universe with readers.
C.To discuss the proper relationship between humans and the universe.
D.To advise us to think about the way human beings live in this world.
35.What’s the best title for this passage？（　　）
A.What Should an Astronomer Do？
B.Should We Know More about the Universe？
C.Looking to the Stars Can Bring Us Closer Together
D.Getting United Is a Problem Impossible to Solve
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Too much stuff， too much to do， too much stress.These are weighing people down and breaking their spirit.36.（　　） Here are several things to help you get started.
　　The first step is to sort out your possessions.To live a simple life， you need a simple living space.So take some time to tidy your living area.Focus on keeping things that you value deeply and throw away things that you don’t need any longer.37.（　　） Finally， you will be shocked to see how few possessions you actually use in your daily life.
　　38.（　　） As humans we tend to think what we are used to as naturally right.However， there could be problems in the million little things that bother us as we go about our day.The best skill you can develop in your life is the ability to take a step back and look at things objectively by raising doubts about what is seemingly the way it is supposed to be.
　　We should always stay mindful and live with intention.If there is something in your life that you don’t love， change it！ Cut out the things that aren’t serving you.You can write down what an ideal day would look like for you in five years’ time.Then outline what things you want more in your life and what things you want less.39.（　　）
　　Managing your time wisely counts.40.（　　） Instead， take some time to think about whether it’s something that you are excited about attending.Be intentional with how you spend your time and take control of what you do.This is how you can guarantee yourself a flexible schedule and do everything in an unhurried way.
A.Minimalists live intentionally.
B.Complete the process quickly enough.
C.Don’t reply “Yes” to everything you’re invited to.
D.With that in hand， you have a goal to work towards.
E.From time to time you need to question about your lifestyle.
F.That’s why there is a growing interest in the minimalist lifestyle.
G.Having a flexible schedule depends on you taking control of things.

　　I couldn’t see how I looked， but they said I looked great and I was just hoping it wasn’t all a big joke.I let them lead me to where I had to stand for the pictures， hoping the photographer would tell me if I looked like a clown or something.The flash went off and Dina gave me back my glasses.

W：A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record. They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6 hours to the record. Each team had 9 players， with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest， they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time， they had to play again. On the second night， they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands， but the only serious problem was the mental one. Each boy was thinking： Why am I doing this？ How can I play any longer？ After the third night， the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours， the players got better. For the last few minutes， the players looked as fresh as when they started.

44.B　根据语境可知，此处用“甚至连电子邮件也非常有限”来突出当时作者所处的艰难局面——无法求助国内的人。
45.D　根据下文About 4 hours later， I arrived at a village called Santa Rosa Abajo.可知，作者去了农村寻求帮助。
46.D　此处是指买票去农村几乎花光了作者身上所有的钱。
47.A　根据下文可知，这是作者敲当地村民的门时，向村民们解释自己的情况。
48.B　根据下文可知，作者需要在哥斯达黎加待十多天，因此恳求帮村民工作，以此换取现金。
49.A　根据下文such as cooking， cleaning and looking after their kids可知，此处是指作者恳求帮村民工作来换取现金。
50.A　根据上文so poor are we可知，村民都很穷，没有额外的食物或者住的地方。
51.C　根据下文And they’d point me to another house.可推知，村民说完后，指着另外一户人家，让作者去试试。
52.D　根据上文作者向村民求助无果可知，此处是指作者最后来到了一家中餐厅。
53.A　根据下文She gave me food and called the Red Cross to come to rescue me.可知，中餐厅的老板非常慷慨。

56.has brought　根据So far可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语the Internet为第三人称单数。故填has brought。
57.However/Nevertheless　空后的it also raises all sorts of questions和上文构成转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以应用副词however或nevertheless，表示“然而”，句首首字母应大写。故填However/Nevertheless。
58.responsibly　修饰动词use应用副词。故填responsibly。
59.to trust　“疑问词＋to do”在句中可作主语、宾语、表语、宾语补足语等句子成分。此处在句中作介词about的宾语。故填to trust。

61.comments　comment意为“评论”，为可数名词，此处表示泛指，所以应用复数形式。故填comments。

63.are　主语the majority of online users为复数，且此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。故填are。
64.uncomfortable　根据上文Though可知，前后句意相反，所以此处是指可能有一些用户让你在网上感到不舒服，所以应用形容词作系动词feel的表语。故填uncomfortable。

A Good Deed I Have Done
　　It was a Saturday afternoon.Having watched a Hollywood film， I planned to go home by bike as usual.When I went to a Didi shared bike， I found a handbag in its front basket， which must have been left by the previous user of the bike.Then I called the customer service hotline of Didi and reported the finding.About half an hour later， the owner of the handbag contacted me and got her handbag back， who was extremely thankful.
　　Abraham Lincoln once said， “When I do good， I feel good.” This is exactly true.When we do a good deed， we not only help others but also achieve a sense of joy and satisfactory.
第二节
　　When I got home that day， my mother was pretty upset about the make-up.She yelled at me for a while and told me that I didn’t look like myself.She was so angry that she said something unpleasant.“Have you forgotten that make-up is forbidden at our house？ Remove it and wash your face at once！” said my mother.However， I didn’t care about what she said.I didn’t want to look like my old self.I didn’t want to be my old self.
　　A few weeks later， the pictures came back from the photographer.They did look great， and I looked like a new， happier person.I was surprised to see that I looked pretty and felt glad that I could now look back on middle school with one really good memory.I will always be grateful to Dina for what she did for me.She helped to bring me out of my shell and discover a better version of myself.

W：A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world
basketball marathon record. They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6
hours to the record. Each team had 9 players， with 5 at a time. The boys
decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours.
Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to
rest， they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a
short time， they had to play again. On the second night， they fell asleep
as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and
hands， but the only serious problem was the mental one. Each boy was
thinking： Why am I doing this？ How can I play any longer？ After the
third night， the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The
basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours， the
players got better. For the last few minutes， the players looked as fresh
as when they started.

　　In the near future， you may not be waiting for packages delivered by
a truck — instead， they’ll come overhead， via drone.But they might
look a little different from what you’ve seen before.The Federal Aviation
Administration announced new rules Monday for what it calls “unmanned
aircraft” that weigh more than 0.55 pound （or 0.25 kilogram） to
operate around people.
　　Among the new rules， the FAA said drones will need to broadcast
their identification through a new system called Remote ID， which will
help the government track both the drones and their base “control”
stations and this will address security concerns.And people who manage
the drones will need to have a drone pilot’s license with them whenever
operating the aircraft.
　　“The new rules make way for the further integration （融入） of
drones into our airspace by addressing safety and security concerns，”
said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson， in a statement.“They get us
closer to the day when we will more routinely see drone operations such as
the delivery of packages.”
　　The rules announced on Monday are the latest in a series of steps to
fix regulations around drone deliveries and flights around the US. Both
Amazon and UPS have been testing drone deliveries， indicating the
technology isn’t far off.
　　“The framework is a critical step in allowing more complex UAS
operations， with a focus on safety and security，” UPS said in a
statement， referring to unmanned aircraft systems.The company added
that the FAA’s moves “will advance the integration of drones into the
National Airspace System”.
　　Various parts of the US government have expressed concern about
how drones could be misused， a concern heightened by a series of
incidents in 2018 in which drones caused Gatwick Airport in London to
shut down.
　　It’ll be more than two years before the new rules go into effect， but
civilian drones offered for sale in the US must be equipped with ID
broadcast technology in 18 months， according to the FAA release.

　　（2024·临沂高一下期末）In June 2019， Steve Wilson was going
on a bike ride.Like many of us often do， he checked his phone
beforehand， and saw a moving post about his friend’s daughter
Linda.“She was a junior in high school at the time， she just received a
life-saving kidney （肾） from a woman in town，” Wilson told CBS
News.“And they didn’t even know this woman till they made the
request for their daughter.”
　　“So， I became emotional.I just thought that is the coolest
thing，” said Wilson， who lives in Westchester， N. Y. “I took a
long bike ride and I kept thinking， ‘I would love to do something like
that one day.’”
　　After seeing the post， Wilson selflessly decided to become a living
donor himself， donating a kidney， while he was alive， to someone he
didn’t know.
　　After seeing the post， Wilson selflessly decided to become a living
donor himself， donating a kidney， while he was alive， to someone he
didn’t know.
　　“I knew it would go to someone.It eventually went to someone
across the country，” Wilson said.“They took my kidney to the airport
and flew it out to the West Coast.” He said he still doesn’t know the
person who received his kidney and he probably never will， which he’s
fine with.He just wanted it to change somebody’s life， he said.
　　Going through an operation may seem frightening， but Wilson says
all it takes is two weeks of your life for recovery.And to prove that it
isn’t burdensome， Wilson and his fellow living donors finished an even
harder mission： Summiting （登上） Mount Kilimanjaro.
　　“I do think that having that purpose made it a little bit easier.But
there were some people — and I was one of them — that really plowed
hard to get through.And the purpose behind it was the reason you just kept
going，” Wilson said.
　　The team reached the summit on 10 March — symbolically， World
Kidney Day.As for whether the climb to encourage living donations was
worth it， Wilson said he inspired at least his friends to consider becoming
living donors， but he thinks the Kilimanjaro summit could have inspired
countless others.

　　As an astronomer， I am accustomed to observing the universe in
quiet places.I observe galaxies in the deep universe — places so far away
that their light takes billions of years to reach our eyes.
　　Sometimes I wonder what our own galaxy looked like billions of
years ago before our solar system was born.I often stare at the Hubble
Deep Field （哈勃深空区） searching for clues： galaxies colliding （碰
撞）， stars exploding， and stellar nurseries.Can looking to the stars
bring us closer together？
　　A couple of months ago， Betelgeuse， a bright star in the Orion
constellation （猎户星座） started to get dimmer and
dimmer.Astronomers all over the world thought this might be a signal that
the star was about to explode.Though it might not happen for another 1，
000 years or more， still I went outside every night to check it out.I was
hoping that it would explode.Imagine seeing a star shining as bright as the
full moon even during the day.
　　I started dreaming about using such an event to remind everyone that
stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe， which
came directly out of the Big Bang.Everything we breathe， touch and see
was made inside of stars.The iron in our blood， calcium in our bones，
and almost the entire periodic table are products of stellar evolution.
　　Betelgeuse did not explode， and more recent observations note that
it is actually returning to normal.But nothing is normal here on Earth
now.I am beginning to realise that we did not need a star to explode to
unite us.All we needed was a common problem.
　　I am hoping that everyone on the planet is saving some time to
contemplate （凝视） the universe and to realise we are not alone.No
matter where we are or who we are， we are on this planet together.Since
we are all made of stars， looking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse of
our past and our future， and we can contemplate both together.

stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe，
which came directly out of the Big Bang可知，宇宙大爆炸后，星球
创造了宇宙中几乎一切的化学元素；而参宿四是一个星球，因此
如果它爆炸，可以释放化学元素。
33. What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in Paragraph 4
refer to？（　　）
A. Betelgeuse’s potential explosion.
B. Betelgeuse’s getting dimmer and dimmer.
C. The author’s checking out every night.
D. A star’s shining as bright as the sun.
解析：　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Astronomers all over the
world thought this might be a signal that the star was about to
explode.可知，这个事件指的就是参宿四有可能会爆炸。
34. Why does the author write this article？（　　）
A. To advise others to stare at a potentially exploding star recently.
B. To research into the scientific mystery in the universe with readers.
C. To discuss the proper relationship between humans and the universe.
D. To advise us to think about the way human beings live in this world.
解析：　写作目的题。根据第四段和最后一段可知，作者认
为星球创造了宇宙中几乎一切的化学元素，也创造了人类；地
球上的每一个人都应该仰望星空，因为这样我们可以看到我们
的过去和未来，可以看到我们都在一起，并不孤单。由此可推
知，作者写这篇文章的目的是建议我们思考人类在这个世界上
的生存方式。
35. What’s the best title for this passage？（　　）
A. What Should an Astronomer Do？
B. Should We Know More about the Universe？
C. Looking to the Stars Can Bring Us Closer Together
D. Getting United Is a Problem Impossible to Solve
解析：　标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，作者从对星空的观
察入手，讲到星球创造了宇宙中几乎一切的化学元素，也创造了
人类；作者认为我们应该经常凝视星空，重新审视自己的生存方
式，并看到我们并不孤单。因此C项（仰望星空可以拉近我们的
距离）为本文最佳标题。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Too much stuff， too much to do， too much stress.These are
weighing people down and breaking their spirit.36.（　　） Here are
several things to help you get started.
　　The first step is to sort out your possessions.To live a simple life，
you need a simple living space.So take some time to tidy your living
area.Focus on keeping things that you value deeply and throw away things
that you don’t need any longer.37.（　　） Finally， you will be
shocked to see how few possessions you actually use in your daily life.
　　38.（　　） As humans we tend to think what we are used to as
naturally right.However， there could be problems in the million little
things that bother us as we go about our day.The best skill you can
develop in your life is the ability to take a step back and look at things
objectively by raising doubts about what is seemingly the way it is
supposed to be.
　　We should always stay mindful and live with intention.If there is
something in your life that you don’t love， change it！ Cut out the
things that aren’t serving you.You can write down what an ideal day
would look like for you in five years’ time.Then outline what things you
want more in your life and what things you want less.39.（　　）
　　Managing your time wisely counts.40.（　　） Instead， take
some time to think about whether it’s something that you are excited
about attending.Be intentional with how you spend your time and take
control of what you do.This is how you can guarantee yourself a flexible
schedule and do everything in an unhurried way.
A. Minimalists live intentionally.
B. Complete the process quickly enough.
C. Don’t reply “Yes” to everything you’re invited to.
D. With that in hand， you have a goal to work towards.
E. From time to time you need to question about your lifestyle.
F. That’s why there is a growing interest in the minimalist lifestyle.
G. Having a flexible schedule depends on you taking control of things.

A Good Deed I Have Done

planned to go home by bike as usual.When I went to a Didi shared bike，
I found a handbag in its front basket， which must have been left by the

handbag contacted me and got her handbag back， who was extremely
thankful.

第二节（满分25分）
　　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。
　　Middle school was a difficult time for me.I felt ugly and kids teased
me every day， which only made me upset.
　　The friends I’d had for many years claimed I’d changed and
wouldn’t hang out with me anymore.Then a funny thing happened.One
of the “cool” kids started inviting me to hang out.Her name was Dina，
and she invited me to parties and over to her house.Dina may have seen
that I needed a friend.Or maybe she just thought I was nice.Either way，
when kids teased me about being ugly， she told me they were crazy.
　　Middle school graduation was approaching and I couldn’t wait.I
knew there was a chance that high school might be as horrible as middle
school， but maybe it would get me away from all the bad memories of
middle school.
　　Unexpectedly， the day we were taking graduation pictures turned
out to be a life-changing moment for me.I came to school like I always
did， and I was definitely not wearing make-up， although many of the
girls were.Make-up was forbidden at my house until I reached high
school， and I didn’t think much of it — that was who I was.That was
who I thought I would always be.
　　I was getting ready for the photographer when Dina grabbed me.She
laughed and said，“Not like that， you’re not！” dragging me into
the girl’s bathroom.Dina and her friends pulled out some supplies and
started giving me a makeover （装扮）.They changed my hair， put
make-up on me， and took away my oversized glasses.
　　I couldn’t see how I looked， but they said I looked great and I was
just hoping it wasn’t all a big joke.I let them lead me to where I had to
stand for the pictures， hoping the photographer would tell me if I looked
like a clown or something.The flash went off and Dina gave me back my
glasses.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　When I got home that day， my mother was pretty upset about the
make-up. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　A few weeks later， the pictures came back from the
photographer. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
参考范文：
　　When I got home that day， my mother was pretty upset about the
make-up.She yelled at me for a while and told me that I didn’t look like
myself.She was so angry that she said something unpleasant.“Have you
forgotten that make-up is forbidden at our house？ Remove it and wash
your face at once！” said my mother.However， I didn’t care about
what she said.I didn’t want to look like my old self.I didn’t want to be
my old self.
　　A few weeks later， the pictures came back from the
photographer.They did look great， and I looked like a new， happier
person.I was surprised to see that I looked pretty and felt glad that I could
now look back on middle school with one really good memory.I will
always be grateful to Dina for what she did for me.She helped to bring me
out of my shell and discover a better version of myself.
谢谢观看！
