3.covered 考查非谓语动词作宾语补足语。句意:再往上走,天气变了,然后你会发现山坡被厚厚的草地覆盖。本句宾语是the side of the mountain与非谓语动词cover之间为被动关系,故用covered作宾语补足语。

Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be.There are steel (钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into the rivers,cars producing harmful waste gas,people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet.Facing current environmental problems,people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets.They’re not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste.We should realise that what we do does count.So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is to avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps (水龙头) are not leaky (漏的),which would help greatly in scrimping (节省).Another is to use energy-saving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms.It is not only energy-saving,but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable.Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process.Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind,we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long as we do our part,the world is one small step closer to being saved.
1.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe .
A.huge buildings
B.high mountains
C.big factories
D.characters in fairy stories
2.From the fifth paragraph,we can know that .
A.protecting the environment begins with small chores
B.protecting the environment should start from childhood
C.wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D.protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
3.Which of the following is NOT true
A.The more people do their part,the greener the environment will be.
B.Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
C.To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D.Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
4.The passage is mainly about .
A.the use of garbage dustbins
B.how to save water and electricity
C.how to save the environment
D.our current environmental problems
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一些如何保护环境的方法。阅读本文有利于培养学生的环境保护意识。
答案及剖析:
1.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词汇意义的能力。根据画线词后的“blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into the rivers”可知,steel monsters遮挡太阳、排出有害气体并将有毒的化学物质排入河流,由此推断,steel monsters指的就是大工厂,故C项正确。
2.B 主旨大意题。考查学生对理解段落主旨要义的能力。根据第五段中的“Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives...”可知,保护环境要从娃娃抓起,把环保意识和方法教给孩子们,故B项正确。
3.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推理判断的能力。根据第二段内容可知,我们的不良行为加速了环境问题,破坏了环境,故选D项。
4.C 主旨大意题。考查学生对理解文本主旨要义的能力。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一些保护环境的方法,故C项正确。
B
A rescue centre in Alaska has taken in an orphaned baby seal (海豹) that was still in the body when a hunter killed its mother on Easter Sunday.
The Alaska Sea Life Centre says a hunter killed the baby’s mother in a village on Nelson Island in the Bering Sea.The hunter then realised there was a live baby inside the seal and successfully delivered (接生) it.
The hunter’s daughter found a hotline of the Seward Rescue Centre and called to report the incident.Guided by centre staff,a village teacher helped transport the baby to the local airport,and the animal was flown to Anchorage.The Alaska Sea Life Centre members met the baby,now called Maxwell,at the Anchorage airport and drove him to Seward on Monday.Staff members say the baby has responded well to food and care,but his condition is still considered very serious.
“Maxwell was close to full-term,and everything looks fairly normal,” said Pam Tuomi,a centre vet.“But babies that have never received antibodies (抗体) from their mothers’ milk are at higher risk of infection (感染),so we will keep Maxwell in a separate place and watch him closely for the next few weeks.”
The Sea Life Centre is Alaska’s only permanent facility licensed to house stranded marine mammals and seabirds.The staff choose a theme each year for naming animals admitted there,and this year the names are related to caffeine.
“We hope to give Maxwell a second chance to live as a wild sea,” said Brett Long,the centre’s director.
5.What can we learn from the passage
A.The mother seal was killed in order to protect the baby seal.
B.The mother seal was killed before the baby seal was born.
C.The cruel hunter was unwilling to save the baby seal.
D.Both the mother seal and the baby seal were in good condition now.
6.What did the hunter’s daughter do with the baby seal
A.She helped to feed it.
B.She delivered it successfully.
C.She reported it to a rescue centre.
D.She persuaded her father to save it.
7.The underlined “him” in the third paragraph probably refers to .
A.the hunter
B.the baby seal
C.a member of the centre
D.the village teacher
8.What do we know about the baby seal’s condition now
A.It still faces the danger of dying young.
B.It is only half of the normal size.
C.It is found to be difficult to feed.
D.It will be set free into the sea soon.
语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了阿拉斯加海洋生物中心收留一个海豹孤儿的故事。阅读本文有助于培养学生保护野生动物的意识。
答案及剖析:
5.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章第二段可知,猎人杀死海豹后,意识到在母海豹体内还有一个活的小海豹,所以小海豹出生前,母海豹就已经死了,选项B正确,故选B。
6.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“The hunter’s daughter found a hotline of...incident.(猎人的女儿找到了海洋生物救援中心的热线电话,给他们打电话报告了小海豹的事。)”可知选项C正确,故选C。
7.B 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词汇意义的能力。根据第三段画线代词him前的“The Alaska Sea Life Center members met the baby...(阿拉斯加海洋生物中心的人员见到这只小海豹……)”可知,him指代的是小海豹,故选B。
8.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推理判断的能力。根据第四段中的“But babies that have never received antibodies from their mothers’ milk are at higher risk of infection...”可知,小海豹没有喝过母奶,所以会面临更高的感染的风险,一旦感染就会死亡,小海豹就面临早逝的危险。故选A。
Ⅱ.语法填空

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。三江源地区是长江、黄河、澜沧江的发源地。人类活动等因素使这一地区的生态系统处于危险境地。为保护这一地区的生态环境,国家建立了三江源国家公园。阅读本文有利于培养学生的环保意识。
答案及剖析:
1.lies 考查时态和主谓一致。这是一个倒装句,主语为China’s “water tower” Sanjiangyuan,此处描述客观事实,故谓语动词用一般现在时的第三人称单数。
2.that 考查强调句型。此句去掉It is和空格之后为完整的句子the three rivers provide water for about half the population of China,故此句为强调句型,此处强调事物,用that。
3.at 考查介词。put...at risk表示“置……于危险境地”,为固定搭配。
4.area’s 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,此处在句子中作定语修饰coverage,故用area’s。
5.greener 考查比较级。此处表示三江源的成功将标志着一个更加绿色的未来的开始,语境中暗含比较意义。
6.taking 考查非谓语动词。此处Sanjiangyuan和动词take之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式构成“with+名词+现在分词”的复合结构。
7.have been chosen 考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,空格处为谓语部分;由句中的时间状语over the past three years可知,谓语应用现在完成时;主语“nine other regions in China”表示复数概念,且与动词choose之间为动宾关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态。
8.which 考查定语从句的关系词。空后的谓语“will form”与空前句中的谓语之间无并列连词,故此处应为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词nine other regions in China,从句中缺少主语,故用which。
9.its 考查代词。名词前应用形容词性物主代词修饰,故用its。
10.importance 考查名词。空格处作动词bears的宾语,故用名词形式。Part 2 Developing ideas,Presenting ideas,Reflection

My suggestion is that different kinds of garbage should be sorted out and placed in different dustbins.For example,paper can be sorted into the recyclable waste,while leftovers should be classified as kitchen waste.What’s more,poisonous things such as used batteries should not be mixed with other garbage.
The program is of great benefit.We will be able to save resources by making use of recyclable garbage and prevent poisonous things from polluting our environment after special treatment.So let’s work together to make our campus more beautiful.
Thank you!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Human demands for natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and are now beyond what the earth can provide,a report warned.If humans carry on like this,we will need two earths by 2030.The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.
The report said British people are consuming (消耗) far more than the earth can deal with.If everyone lived such a lifestyle,humans would need 2.75 planets to survive.People are now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets,though there are great differences between rich and poor nations.
Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption.The UK comes the 31st in a list of countries based on “ecological footprint (生态足迹)” that measures how much land and sea each person needs to produce the resources they consume and to absorb (吸收) the wastes.The UK has fallen down from the 15th place in the last report two years ago to the 31st place,but the WWF believes it is an increase in other countries’ efforts rather than a reduction in the UK’s use of resources.
Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint,while the United Arab Emirates,Qatar,Denmark,Belgium and the US are the five worst countries for over-consumption of resources.The study suggests if the expected global population of 9.2 billion in 2050 were to eat a Malaysian diet,1.3 planets would be needed but if everyone were to eat an Italian diet,humans would need almost two planets.Those countries that can provide the highest quality of life using the lowest amount of resources will not only serve the global interest,but will be the leaders in a resource-limited world.
1.We will probably need earths if we follow the British lifestyle.
A.1.3 B.2.75 C.2 D.1.5
2.What do we know about “ecological footprint”
A.It has something to do with human demands for resources and their wastes.
B.It is used to produce the resources and absorb the wastes.
C.We can know the total amount of resources on the earth through it.
D.It is about changes in land use and water consumption across the globe.
3.The WWF believes that .
A.the earth won’t be able to meet human needs after 50 years
B.the UK has possibly not reduced the use of resources over the past two years
C.Ireland has a lower ecological footprint than the UK
D.there are no big differences in lifestyle between rich and poor nations
4.It can be learned from the text that Malaysia .
A.has a larger population than Italy
B.consumes fewer resources than Italy
C.would need almost two planets
D.has the highest quality of life

The Sanjiangyuan National Park,China’s first experimental national park,has been established to protect the local environment.The area is known as the
country’s “water tower” because it houses the headwaters of the three great rivers of the country: the Yangtze,the Yellow and the Lancang rivers.
Covering a total area of 123,100 square kilometres,the national park emphasizes the protection of the entire ecosystem,including all of the local natural resources,such as wild animals,water,grassland and forests.
Since the national park started its trial operation in 2016,locals have been called on to help protect and improve the environment.Their work includes patrolling (巡逻) the grassland as well as monitoring and rescuing the park’s wildlife.To date,there are 17,211 rangers (护林人) operating in the national park.
Kunsang,now 39 years old,is a Tibetan herdsman (牧人) turned park ranger for the headwaters of the Yellow River in the national park.On November 16th,2020,
Kunsang put his life at risk while attempting to save a wolf trapped in a broken ice patch on a lake.Braving temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius,Kunsang rushed over to the wolf and pulled the wild animal out from the icy opening on the frozen lake with the help of his colleague.
The efforts of rangers including Kunsang are paying off,and the national park has seen its wild animal populations bounce back apparently in recent years.Hoh Xil (Kekexili) National Nature Reserve,one of the largest no man’s lands in China and a part of the Sanjiangyuan National Park,is now home to more than 70,000 Tibetan antelopes,said Wang Xiangguo,deputy director of the park.The official explained that the population numbers for the rare species,which is under first-class state protection in the country,once declined sharply to no fewer than 20,000 due to the impacts of illegal hunting.

Green roofs—roofs that are planted with vegetation—may improve the indoor air quality of commercial buildings by cutting the amount of ozone coming into the buildings from the outside,according to a new research from Portland State University.
The findings add to the already known environmental benefits of green roofs,including reducing carbon dioxide,decreasing stormwater runoff and cutting down on urban heat,according to PSU researchers.
The researchers from PSU’s departments of Mechanical and Materials Engineering,Biology and the university’s Honours College,set up measuring devices on the roof of a big-box retail store in North Portland that was split between a green roof and a more conventional white roof.
They measured the air coming into the building from outdoor intake vents
(通风孔),and found that the air coming in from the green roof area had modestly lower ozone levels than the air coming in from the unplanted area.They found that the vegetation trapped and filtered the ozone in the outdoor air.
The trapping effect is a process known as dry deposition,in which airborne particles collect or deposit themselves on solid surfaces.It’s a natural process that is the key to removing pollutants from the atmosphere.
The study was conducted over a two-day period.The authors said the findings bring about a longer-term study—one that could include measuring other pollutants as well as ozone.
28.Which of the following is NOT the benefits of green roofs
A.Increasing stormwater runoff.
B.Cutting the amount of ozone.
C.Cutting down on urban heat.
D.Reducing carbon dioxide.
29.What do we know about the measuring devices used by researchers
A.They were put in a store.
B.They helped filter the ozone.
C.The air was measured by them.
D.They made the green roof cleaner.
30.What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4
A.Change. B.Increase.
C.Remove. D.Absorb.
31.What is the best title of this passage
A.Green roofs—a good way to improve indoor air quality
B.The trapping effect—a key to removing pollutant
C.Lower ozone levers—a solution to air pollution
D.Ozone—a harmful air for people’s health
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“绿色屋顶”通过减少臭氧的进入,改善了室内的空气质量。阅读本文有利于培养学生的创新意识以及环境保护意识。
答案及剖析:
28.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段 “The findings add to...PSU researchers”可知,绿色屋顶对于环保的好处包括减少雨水流失,不是增加,故选A。
29.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段第一句“They measured the air...from the unplanted area.”可知,研究人员利用仪器检测进入到建筑内部的空气。
30.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词汇意义的能力。根据第四段第一句可知,从绿色屋顶上进来的空气比从没有植被的屋顶中进来的空气拥有更低的臭氧,所以植被“过滤”了臭氧。
31.A 标题归纳题。考查学生理解文章主旨要义并归纳标题的能力。根据第一段“Green roofs...from Portland State University”可知,绿色屋顶可以通过减少臭氧量,从而改善大楼内部的空气质量。整篇文章都围绕绿色屋顶展开,故A项最适合做标题。
D
In the past 50 years,the amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has gone up more than fourfold in coastal water bodies,including river mouths and seas,low-oxygen sites have increased more than tenfold since 1950.Scientists expect oxygen to continue dropping even outside these zones as Earth warms.
“Oxygen is fundamental to life in the Oceans,” said Denise Breitburg,a marine ecologist with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre.“The decline in ocean oxygen ranks among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth ’s environment.Actually,it’s a great loss to all the support services that rely on recreation and tourism,including hotels and restaurants and taxi drivers and everything else.The reverberations (严重影响) of unhealthy ecosystems in the ocean can be extensive.”
In areas traditionally called “dead zones” ,like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico,oxygen plummets(大幅下跌) to so low levels that many animals die.As fish avoid these zones,their habitats become smaller and they’re easier to be attacked or caught.But the problem goes far beyond “dead zones”.Even smaller oxygen decline can prevent growth in animals,hinder reproduction and lead to disease or even death.It also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals such as nitrous oxide,a greenhouse gas up to 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.While some animals can boom in “dead zones”,overall biodiversity falls.
Climate change is the key criminal in the open ocean.Warming surface waters make it harder for oxygen to reach the inside of the ocean.Furthermore,as the ocean as a whole gets warmer,it holds less oxygen.In coastal waters,too much nutrient pollution from land creates algal blooms,which use up oxygen as they die and break down.
People’s livelihoods are also on the line,the scientists reported,especially in developing nations.Smaller fisheries (渔场) may be unable to relocate when low oxygen destroys their harvests or forces fish to move elsewhere.So we humans have to carry on a war now and win the war.
32.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A.The ocean has been losing its oxygen.
B.The amount of sea water is increasing.
C.The coastal water bodies are dangerous.
D.The Earth becomes warmer and warmer.
33.What can we infer from Denise Breitburg’s words
A.Different oceans have different levels of oxygen.
B.The decline in ocean oxygen has great influences.
C.The future of tourism relies on the levels of ocean oxygen.
D.The decrease in ocean oxygen is the most serious environment problem.
34.How does the “dead zone” affect sea animals
A.It offers more food.
B.It forms dangerous gas.
C.It reduces their living areas.
D.It produces more carbon dioxide.
35.How can we win the war according to the text
A.By closing smaller fisheries.
B.By controlling humans’ bad activities.
C.By improving people’s living standards.
D.By stopping nutrients entering the ocean.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。由于人类活动的影响导致全球变暖,气候变化影响到了海洋生物的生存,又反作用于人类的生计,人类必须采取措施应对此问题。阅读本文有利于培养学生保护海洋以及维持生态平衡的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.A 主旨要义题。考查学生理解段落主旨要义的能力。通过第一段我们知道了海洋面临的现状:在过去的五十年里,海洋中零氧水域的水量增加了四倍多。低氧场所自1950年以来增加了十多倍。通过这些现状科学家预计,随着地球变暖,即使在这些区域之外,氧气也会继续下降。由此可知海洋正在失去氧气,故选A。
33.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段可知,海洋氧气的减少是人类活动对地球环境最严重的影响之一,这种不健康的海洋生态系统的严重影响还会扩大。由此可见海洋氧气的减少有很大影响,故选B。
34.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段中的“In areas traditionally called ‘dead zones’ ...oxygen plummets to so low levels that many animals die.As fish avoid these zones,their habitats become smaller and they’re easier to be attacked or caught.”可知,在“死亡地带”,氧气大幅下跌,许多动物死去。当鱼类避开这些区域时,它们的栖息地变小,更容易被攻击或捕获。故选C。
35.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段中的“The decline in ocean oxygen ranks...and everything else.”可知是人类活动影响了海洋氧气减少,所以要解决此问题必须控制人类的有害活动,故选B。
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。
Some years back,nobody paid much attention to the waste in homes and landfills (垃圾处理场).It became so vast that the government started getting concerned the phenomenon could create a disaster.A solution had to be found,but one that is kind to humans and the environment.36. .Below are the reasons why we need to recycle.
Conserve natural resources
37. .If a lot of pressure is put on these natural resources,they might be run out of fast.The only way to stop the pressure applied to these resources is recycling.According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,recycling one ton of paper saves up about 17 trees as well as 7 tons of water.
Reduce carbon emissions
Recycling greatly minimizes carbon emissions,commonly referred to as greenhouse gases.38. ,they would end up being burned,giving out dangerous greenhouse gases.Whatever your opinion on global warming,a lot of people agree to the idea that everyone needs to play a role in minimizing the effects of pollution and emissions.
39.
Recycling has been proved to save up lots of energy.Companies that use recycled aluminum(铝) save up to 95% energy during production of aluminum products when compared to companies that source raw materials.
One person can make a big difference
Most people have already made up their minds that one person cannot make any difference in regard to recycling waste.That thinking might apply in other fields.In recycling,an individual can make a big difference.Averagely,every American produces about 1,600 pounds of waste every year.Up to 1,100 pounds of waste is able to be recycled every year per person.40. .
A.Save energy
B.Protect the environment
C.That’s how recycling was born
D.If these wastes were not recycled
E.That represents half a ton per individual
F.Many kinds of resources are considered limited
G.You and your neighbour’s effort to recycle will mean clean surrounding air

The clam is 14.5 centimetres across and 59. (weigh)nearly 1.3 kilograms.The Department of Environmental Management for the state does not keep quahog records.But a quahog grows to about 10 centimetres across,the university said.
Monaco described how he found the creature in a statement.“I was down on my hands and knees in the water 60. (look) for clams,and I touched this huge rock thing,” he said.Monaco added,“I always pull out rocks and throw them to the side and look under them.And then I felt 61. (it) edge and I thought,‘Holy moly,this is a clam.’ And I can hardly find a word to express my
62. (excite).”

语篇导读:这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了美国罗得岛州一名11岁男孩最近发现了一个不同寻常的海洋生物例子。他发现了被认为是该州迄今为止发现的最大的圆蛤之一。阅读本文有利于开阔学生的眼界、培养学生的好奇心,以及保护海洋生物的意识。
答案及剖析:
56.largest 考查形容词。one of 后接名词复数,形容词的最高级。故填largest。
57.that/which 考查关系代词。分析句子可知,a kind of large clam为先行词,在定语从句中做主语,所以关系代词为that或者which。故填that/which。
58.a 考查冠词。university为可数名词,本句泛指“一所大学”,且university首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
59.weighs 考查时态和主谓一致。根据本空后面“1.3 kilograms”可知此处是表示多重,本句主语为“The clam”,时态为一般现在时。故填weighs。
60.looking 考查现在分词。本句已经有谓语,所以应填look的非谓语形式。主语I与look在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填looking。
61.its 考查代词。edge为名词,需用形容词性物主代词修饰。故填its。
62.excitement 考查名词。express为及物动词,后接名词作宾语。excitement为不可数名词。故填excitement。
63.unusually 考查副词。副词unusually修饰形容词large。故填unusually。
64.to cook 考查动词不定式。tell sb. not to do sth.意为“告诉某人不做某事”,为固定短语。故填to cook。
65.be shown/be showed 考查一般将来时的被动语态。分析句子可知,本句为一般将来时,主语the quahog 与谓语show为被动关系,故填be shown/be showed。

A friend of mine,named Jack,received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Jack came out of his office,a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car.“Is this your car,sir ” he asked.Jack answered,“Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing Sir,I wish...”He hesitated (犹豫).Jack thought of course he knew what the boy wanted,but what the boy said surprised him greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.” Jack looked at the boy in surprise,and then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car ” “Oh yes,I’d love to,” the boy answered.
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,“Sir,would you mind driving in front of my house ”
Jack smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car.But Jack was wrong again.“Will you stop where those two steps are ” the boy asked.

3.汇集故事线索,列出写作要点。
4.优化语言,完善续写逻辑。
One possible version:
He got out and ran up to the steps.After a while,the boy pushed a wheelchair with a younger boy sitting in it.It’s clear that the younger boy was his brother,who was unable to walk.As his brother saw the car,his eyes were shining.“The car belongs to this gentleman.One day,I will give you a car too,”the boy said to his brother.Jack stood there,stunned.It dawned on him that he was totally wrong.“Could you please take us for a drive together My younger brother loves cars very much,”the boy said.Without any hesitation,Jack agreed.
Jack got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.Although they followed a normal route,the little boy was in high spirits as if he found himself in heaven.But to his surprise,the boy didn’t enjoy the view.He only focused attention on his brother.Deeply moved,Jack realised the best Christmas present was the concern from the bottom of the brother’s heart rather than a car.Jack told them it was Christmas Eve,so this was a gift for them.
