Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. All to carry out a seemingly impossible experiment — to prove that a massive black hole existed in our Milky Way. My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination. It was my first encounter with Andrea Ghez, one of the winners of Nobel Prize in Physics 2020.
For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. But the work has been defined by technology. Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need — analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted. Out of that effort came the first evidence of stars orbiting a black hole.
Andrea is fond of owing her success to the interaction between astronomers and engineers responding to the challenge. Science questions generate new technology and new technology generates new science. Andrea has always pioneered in this virtuous cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre to promote research and technical developments.
Today, Andrea received the highest scientific recognition. But as she would be the very first to knowledge, this success represents the combined efforts of so many. From the theoretical prediction Albert Einstein, through the amazing telescopes and observatory locations, to the technical workers it is the product of thousands.
But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.
24. Why did Andrea Ghez pay the first visit to the author
A. To appreciate a software design. B. To demand a software revision.
C. To conduct an astronomy research. D. To promote a high-tech product.
25. What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in
A. Carrying out outer space experiment. B. Developing superspeed equipment.
C. Looking for evidence of a black hole. D. Searching for new stars in the galaxy.
26. Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghezi
A. Pioneering and appreciative. B. Artistic and reserved.
C. Determined and disciplined. D. Innovative and controlling.
27. What does the author think of Andrea Ghez
A. Average B. Fashionable.
C. Troublesome. D. Admirable.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述获得2020年诺贝尔物理学奖的Andrea Ghez在研究道路上孜孜不倦和坚持不懈的精神。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. ”（25年前，站在我办公室的是一位年轻的天文学家。她提出了一个令人难以置信的要求，要求我的团队修改我们的软件，以完成我们设计之外的事情，并冒着破坏它的风险。）可知，第一次Andrea Ghez拜访作者是要求作者修改软件。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. ”（Andrea Ghez在25年来一直在寻找银河系中心存在黑洞的证据。）可知，Andrea Ghez坚信银河系有黑洞并在找证据。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My initial "no way" gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination.”（面对她欢快但不可动摇的决心，我最初的“不可能”渐渐让步了。）；第二段“ But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. ”（但她并没有屈服，我们的团队只是做出了改变。）可知她是一个有决心，意志坚定的人。且由文章第二段“Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need—analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted.”（科学设备的设计从来没有满足安德里亚以超高速分析图像数据的需要。但她并没有屈服，我们的团队只是做出了改变。成功了！这是非常困难和耗时的，但Andrea坚持下去。）可知，她升级科学设备来证明她的理论，是严格遵守科研纪律的人。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.”（但在我看来，只有一个人有毅力和专注力让这个想法成为现实，这个人就是我的朋友和老同事，就是那个拒绝接受“不”回答的人Andrea Ghez。）可知，作者把Andrea Ghez当做朋友，言语中透露出对她的敬佩之情。故选D项。
C
Will the next generation do better than the one that came before To young people in wealthier nations, that dream of upward mobility seems more like a story about the past than modern-day reality, according to a large new survey taken in 21 countries. In poorer countries, though, there is still hope that young people’s lives will be better than those of their parents, and that the world is becoming a better place.
“In a lot of the developing world, there is a bit more optimism that with each generation our living standards are improving,” said Laurence Chandy, director of the office of global insight and policy at UNICEF, which conducted the survey with Gallup. “But there’s a recognition in the West that that’s stopped happening.” In the United States,56 percent of young people and 64 percent of older people said that children today would be worse off, economically, than their parents.
The survey was of 21,000 people in two age groups — 15 to 24, and 40 and up — and included nationally representative samples from all regions of the world. The younger group said that children today were better off in basic ways, like education, health care and physical safety.
And the best part of being a young person today Technology, according to respondents in follow up interviews.
But young people also have significant concerns. In the survey, about nine in ten said they sometimes or often have anxiety. Six in ten said children today have more pressure from adults to succeed than their parents did.
In the six richest countries in the survey, about one-third of young people said they thought today’s children would be economically better off than their parents. They were particularly pessimistic (悲观的) in Japan, France, Britain and Spain.
In low-income countries, though, about two-thirds of young people said they thought today’s children would do better financially than their parents, especially in Africa and South Asia. They were also more likely than those in high-or middle-income countries to say the world was becoming a better place with each generation
28. How does the author develop the first paragraph
A. By listing figure y giving examples B. By giving examples
C. By following the time order D. By making a comparison
29. What’s the best part of being a young person today
A. Education B. Health care C. Technology D. Physical safety
30 What percentage of young people have anxiety in the survey
A. 90% B. 60% C. 56% D. 64%
31. What’s the best title of the text
A. How to make the world a better place
B. Where are young people most optimistic
C. What are the concerns of young people about economy
D. Will children be much healthier than their parents
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。世界上哪里年轻人对未来最乐观 调查显示：在低收入国家，年轻人乐观的看法多一些。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“To young people in wealthier nations”（对于富有的国家的人而言）和“In poorer countries”（在贫穷的国家）可知，作者是运用对比的手法阐述第一段的内容。选项D符合题意，故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“And the best part of being a young person today Technology，according to respondents in follow-up interviews”（在接下来的采访中，受访者认为，当今年轻人最大的优点是科技。）可知，科技对当今的青少年而言是最大的优点。选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In the survey, about nine in ten said they sometimes or often have anxiety”（在调查中，大约十分之九的人说他们有时或经常感到焦虑。）可知，90%的人经常感到焦虑。选项A与文意相符，故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“To young people in wealthier nations, that dream of upward mobility seems more like a story about the past than modern-day reality, according to a large new survey taken in 21 countries. In poorer countries, though, there is still hope that young people’s lives will be better than those of their parents, and that the world is becoming a better place.”（一项在21个国家进行的大型新调查显示，对富裕国家的年轻人来说，向上流动的梦想更像是一个过去的故事，而不是现代的现实。然而，在较贫穷的国家，年轻人的生活仍有希望比他们的父母更好，世界正变得更美好）和最后两段“In the six richest countries in the survey, about one-third of young people said they thought today’s children would be economically better off than their parents.”（在调查中最富有的六个国家中，约三分之一的年轻人认为现在的孩子会比他们的父母在经济上更富有）和“In low-income countries, though, about two-thirds of young people said they thought today’s children would do better financially than their parents, especially in Africa and South Asia.”（然而，在低收入国家，大约三分之二的年轻人表示，他们认为现在的孩子会比他们的父母在经济上做得更好，尤其是在非洲和南亚）可推知，文章主要探讨了了“哪里的年轻人最乐观”这一话题。选项B是最佳标题，故选B。
D
Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.
The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.
Why might you want to take a digital detox Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.
Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin(褪黑素).
Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.
32. Why does the author say “technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing” in paragraph 1
A. To confirm a concept.
B. To present a problem.
C. To explain a rule.
D. To make a prediction.
33. What does the underlined word “unplug” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Recover. B. Benefit. C. preventing D. Suffer.
34. Which could be the reason for one to start “digital detox”
A. Apps selection difficulty.
B. Fear of missing important things.
C. Exposure to false news.
D. Pressure from social comparison.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To recommend healthy lifestyles.
B. To call for reducing the use of digital devices.
C. To give instructions on starting digital detox.
D. To present different attitudes to digital products.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字排毒”这个概念，以及数字产品给我们带来的影响。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. (大多数人生活在屏幕的环绕中，这些屏幕为我们提供了便利、连接和海量信息。但由于很容易感到被每个通知压力所迫，科技可能会感觉更像是一种负担而不是一种祝福)”以及后文的“Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.( 因此，“数字排毒”的概念正变得越来越受欢迎)”可知，虽然电子设备给我们的生活提供了便利以及海量的信息，但大量的信息通知以及提供有时却给人类增加了负担而不是乐趣，由此后文提出解决问题的方式“数字排毒”。故作者提到“technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing”的目的是为了提出当前人类所面临的问题。故选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times.(一些专家主张在30年内完全避免不必要的屏幕时间。还有人建议使用一款可以限制人们在某些网站上花费的时间的应用程序。第三种选择是在晚上或周末退出。其他人只是在预定的时间关掉手机)”可知，此处通过列举了“数字排毒”的不同做法，划线词所在的句子应该与其并列。故划线词前面的内容“Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places(有些人甚至花高价去一些地方度假)”可知，还有些人选择去一些地方度假这样可以远离数字生活。故划线词与C选项preventing为同义词，意为“阻止，避免”。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying.(也许社交媒体令人沮丧是因为你把自己和别人比较，或者你害怕错过别人喜欢的东西)”可知，进行“数字排毒”的原因之一是，在社交媒体中你总是拿自己和别人进行比较或者害怕错过别人喜欢的东西。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.(放弃所有屏幕可能不太现实，但战略性地远离科技可能对你的身体、思想、情感和人际关系都有好处。现在是时候选择一个时间关掉你的设备，专注于真正重要的事情)”可知，作者认为现在是时候选择一个时间关掉你的设备，专注于真正重要的事情了，由此推测本文的目的是呼吁读者减少使用数码设备。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要给读者介绍一些让读者每天保持开心笑的方法。
【36题详解】
上文“Instead of asking yourself “How can I be happy ”, ask “What makes me laugh ” This approach creates space for more actionable practices.”（与其问自己“我怎样才能快乐？”，问“什么让我笑？”这种方法为更多可操作实践创造了空间。）可知，文章主要在讲怎样才能让我们快乐和笑，而后文又分四个小点来给读者提供一些怎样开心笑的方法。E选项“Read on four ways to get your daily amount of laughter.（阅读四种让你每天大笑的方法。）”有启下作用，符合语境。故选E项。
【37题详解】
由上文小标题“Add laughter to your mornings.”（给你的早晨增添欢笑。）以及后文“Therefore, laughter should be right up there with brushing your teeth on your priority list.”（因此，笑应该和刷牙一起出现在你的优先事项清单上。）可知，本段主要讲笑应该从早上就开始，和刷牙一样成为每天都做的事情。所以D项“Morning routines set the tone for the entire day.”（早上的例行活动为一整天定下基调。）和后文对应，符合语境。故选D项。
【38题详解】
由上文小标题“Learn to laugh at yourself.”（学会自嘲）以及上文“Relieving yourself of pressure is the joy of learning to laugh at yourself.”（减轻压力是学会自嘲乐趣。）可知，本段主要是在讲要学会自我取笑来减压，换句话说，即允许自己犯错做傻事。C项“Permit yourself to be silly.”（允许你自己做傻事。）和上文laugh at yourself以及后文“And set an intention to find humor in hardship.”（在困难中特意寻找幽默。）切合，符合语境。故选C项。
【39题详解】
由后文“From learning German to taking up rollerblading and Zumba, plenty of new activities will fuel your laughter.”（从学习德语到玩轮滑和尊巴舞蹈，大量的新活动会让你开怀大笑。）可知，这段主要是在讲参加新活动也会让你开怀大笑。所以B项“Take up something new.”（接受新事物。）和下文 new activities（新活动）对应，符合文意。故选B项。
【40题详解】
由上文的“With so many ways to laugh more, why wait for your bit of happiness ”（有这么多方法可以让你笑得更多，为什么还要等待你的幸福呢？）可知，文章这里在总结，G项“Instead, try any of the ideas above, and start feeling better now.”（相反，尝试以上任何一种方法，现在就开始感觉更好。）中any of the ideas above有总结作用，和上文many ways对应。故选G项。

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker said as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone would get really bored with listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny picked it up and wanted to return it to Lee, but she couldn’t catch up with him. When she arrived home, Jenny put it on, thinking about the magic. She was surprised that it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water…” Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the minor, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magical.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker ask cd who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved, Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say something, there was a shout “She’s stolen in y watch!” Lee said angrily. “It went missing at school yesterday.”

2.续写部分分为两段. 每段的开头语已为你写好；

Jenny was relieved, saying she had found the watch on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny was speechless again.
Paragraph 2:
Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front, and she couldn’t think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching her. She felts so frightened and the watch didn’t seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walkers encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath, and started her speech, “I’m going to talk about swimming…” Ten minutes later, the whole class stood up and applauding Jenny’s wonderful speech. Jenny smiled and told everyone, “The watch is ordinary, and what is really magical is confidence.”

Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. All to carry out a seemingly impossible experiment — to prove that a massive black hole existed in our Milky Way. My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination. It was my first encounter with Andrea Ghez, one of the winners of Nobel Prize in Physics 2020.
For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. But the work has been defined by technology. Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need — analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted. Out of that effort came the first evidence of stars orbiting a black hole.
Andrea is fond of owing her success to the interaction between astronomers and engineers responding to the challenge. Science questions generate new technology and new technology generates new science. Andrea has always pioneered in this virtuous cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre to promote research and technical developments.
Today, Andrea received the highest scientific recognition. But as she would be the very first to knowledge, this success represents the combined efforts of so many. From the theoretical prediction Albert Einstein, through the amazing telescopes and observatory locations, to the technical workers it is the product of thousands.
But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.
24. Why did Andrea Ghez pay the first visit to the author
A. To appreciate a software design. B. To demand a software revision.
C. To conduct an astronomy research. D. To promote a high-tech product.
25. What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in
A. Carrying out outer space experiment. B. Developing superspeed equipment.
C. Looking for evidence of a black hole. D. Searching for new stars in the galaxy.
26. Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghezi
A. Pioneering and appreciative. B. Artistic and reserved.
C. Determined and disciplined. D. Innovative and controlling.
27. What does the author think of Andrea Ghez
A. Average B. Fashionable.
C. Troublesome. D. Admirable.

Will the next generation do better than the one that came before To young people in wealthier nations, that dream of upward mobility seems more like a story about the past than modern-day reality, according to a large new survey taken in 21 countries. In poorer countries, though, there is still hope that young people’s lives will be better than those of their parents, and that the world is becoming a better place.
“In a lot of the developing world, there is a bit more optimism that with each generation our living standards are improving,” said Laurence Chandy, director of the office of global insight and policy at UNICEF, which conducted the survey with Gallup. “But there’s a recognition in the West that that’s stopped happening.” In the United States,56 percent of young people and 64 percent of older people said that children today would be worse off, economically, than their parents.
The survey was of 21,000 people in two age groups — 15 to 24, and 40 and up — and included nationally representative samples from all regions of the world. The younger group said that children today were better off in basic ways, like education, health care and physical safety.
And the best part of being a young person today Technology, according to respondents in follow up interviews.
But young people also have significant concerns. In the survey, about nine in ten said they sometimes or often have anxiety. Six in ten said children today have more pressure from adults to succeed than their parents did.
In the six richest countries in the survey, about one-third of young people said they thought today’s children would be economically better off than their parents. They were particularly pessimistic (悲观的) in Japan, France, Britain and Spain.
In low-income countries, though, about two-thirds of young people said they thought today’s children would do better financially than their parents, especially in Africa and South Asia. They were also more likely than those in high-or middle-income countries to say the world was becoming a better place with each generation
28. How does the author develop the first paragraph
A. By listing figure y giving examples B. By giving examples
C. By following the time order D. By making a comparison
29. What’s the best part of being a young person today
A. Education B. Health care C. Technology D. Physical safety
30. What percentage of young people have anxiety in the survey
A. 90% B. 60% C. 56% D. 64%
31. What’s the best title of the text
A. How to make the world a better place
B. Where are young people most optimistic
C. What are the concerns of young people about economy
D. Will children be much healthier than their parents

Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.
The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.
Why might you want to take a digital detox Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.
Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin(褪黑素).
Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.
32. Why does the author say “technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing” in paragraph 1
A. To confirm a concept.
B. To present a problem.
C. To explain a rule.
D. To make a prediction.
33. What does the underlined word “unplug” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Recover. B. Benefit. C. preventing D. Suffer.
34. Which could be the reason for one to start “digital detox”
A. Apps selection difficulty.
B. Fear of missing important things.
C. Exposure to false news.
D. Pressure from social comparison.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To recommend healthy lifestyles.
B. To call for reducing the use of digital devices.
C. To give instructions on starting digital detox.
D. To present different attitudes to digital products.

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker said as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone would get really bored with listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny picked it up and wanted to return it to Lee, but she couldn’t catch up with him. When she arrived home, Jenny put it on, thinking about the magic. She was surprised that it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water…” Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the minor, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magical.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker ask cd who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved, Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say something, there was a shout “She’s stolen in y watch!” Lee said angrily. “It went missing at school yesterday.”
