A kind man, Keith Walker, who was 53 years old, kept his own pitbull called Bravo at the W-Underdogs center (an animal shelter) overnight and was on his way to pick him up when he saw the flames on December 18.
He didn't just rescue his own pet, but he made sure that all the animals were safe. He said, “I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke. I am not going to lie.” However, Keith suddenly remembered that his father once said humans had a duty to protect animals. So he said, " My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs."
Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that the shelter was left uninhabitable by the fire, which was electrical. But luckily, they were about to move into a new place, so there was still somewhere for the animals to live.
She said, "Keith is my guardian angel. Even the firefighters didn't know how to handle the animals. They called Animal Control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe."
Keith, who has been homeless since he was 13, has now been regarded as a hero after saving the six dogs and ten cats. Well-wishers have raised almost $40,000 for him on GoFundMe, a fundraising platform.
In a separate fundraiser for the shelter itself to rebuild after the fire, Gracie said, “Keith worked tirelessly to bring our animals to safety. Although he refused all offers of help, we are determined to contact him again. He is a vital part of our community and he should be appropriately rewarded for his selfless efforts.”
4. What did Keith do at the first sight of the fire
A. He waited for help. B. He turned to his father.
C. He protected his own pets. D. He hesitated for a moment.
5. What damage did the fire bring about
A. Some firefighters were badly injured. B. The animals lost their shelter.
C. Some cats disappeared. D. Keith lost his pitbull.
6. Why is Gracie going to contact Keith again
A. To reward him for what he did. B. To raise money for him.
C. offer him a good job. D. To rebuild a home for him.
7. Which of the following can best describe Keith
A. Ambitious and helpful. B. Determined and modest.
C. Honest and brave. D. Generous and calm.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了53岁无家可归的Keith Walker救了一家着火的收容所里的动物，他的善举也得到奖励。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He said, “I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke. I am not going to lie.”(他说：“一开始我很紧张，在烟雾中进入那里真的很害怕。我不会撒谎。”)”可知，Keith一开始看到火犹豫了一会儿。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that the shelter was left uninhabitable by the fire, which was electrical. But luckily, they were about to move into a new place, so there was still somewhere for the animals to live.(收容所的创建者Gracie Hamlin说，由于火灾是电引起的，所以收容所不适合居住。但幸运的是，他们即将搬到一个新地方，所以还有地方可以让动物们生活)”可知，火灾造成了动物们失去了他们的庇护所。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Although he refused all offers of help, we are determined to contact him again. He is a vital part of our community and he should be appropriately rewarded for his selfless efforts. (尽管他拒绝了所有的帮助，我们还是决定再和他联系。他是我们社区的重要组成部分，他的无私努力应该得到适当的奖励)”可知，Gracie再次联系Keith是为了奖励他所做的事。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“He said, “I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke.

Seeds on Ice
Close to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of
Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment，no grains，no gardens，no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity （多样性） of crops around the world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault （地窖） represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation （贮藏） of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot，dry weather.
Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below—zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining （保留） their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy，impractical, and expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired，fed up，and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.
The Seed Vault is about hope and commitrnent - about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant，long-lasting，and worthy of who we are and wish to be.
8. According to the passage, the Seed Vault is ___________.
A. a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed
B. a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops
C. a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture
D. a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops
9. The underlined word“viable”in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. mature B. clean
C. alive D. valuable
10. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us __________.
A. how the seeds are preserved B. where people keep the seeds
C. why the seeds are protected D. what people do to study the seeds
11. We can know from the passage that _________.
A. the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change
B. most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties
C. the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity
D. many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇科普类阅读。文章介绍了种子基因库，为未来的农业储存多种种子的地方。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第三段Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining （保留） their ability to grow for thousands of years.（在这样的条件下，大多数主要农作物的种子在山里被冻住，可以存活数百年，甚至更长时间。有些种子能够保持它们生长数千年的能力。）由此推断出Seed Vault是一个种子基因库，为未来的农业储存多种种子，故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。下文Seeds of some are capable of retaining （保留） their ability to grow for thousands of years.说有些种子能够保持它们生长数千年的能力。由此推断出上文的意思是在这样的条件下，大多数主要农作物的种子都能在山中保存数百年。“viable”的意思是活着的，A. mature成熟的；B. clean干净的；C. alive活着的；D. valuable有价值的，故选C。
【10题详解】
段落大意题。答案定位在第三段In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below—zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress.（在密封盒子里,在多个锁着的门后面,由电子安全系统监控,笼罩在零下的温度,被许多岩石包围,数以百万计的种子被山中堡垒所保护。）由此可知，这一段主要讲了种子是如何被保存的，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第三段But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy，impractical, and expensive idea.（但早在2004年,提出了种子库时,它被视为一个疯狂的,不切实际的,和昂贵的想法）由此推断出最初，许多人认为修建种子库是不明智的，故选D。
【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。小题4，答案定位在倒数第三段But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy，impractical, and expensive idea.（但早在2004年,提出了种子库时,它被视为一个疯狂的,不切实际的,和昂贵的想法）由此推断出最初，许多人认为修建种子库是不明智的，故选D。

New York City public schools will ban students and teachers from using ChatGPT, a powerful new AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, on the district’s networks and devices, an official confirmed to CNN on Thursday.
The move comes amid educators’ growing concerns that the tool, which generates frighteningly convincing responses and even essays in response to user prompts (提示), could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.
“Due to concerns about negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content, access to ChatGPT is restricted on New York City Public Schools’ networks and devices,” Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary for the New York public schools, said in a statement.
“While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success.”
OpenAI opened up access to ChatGPT in late November. It is able to provide lengthy, thoughtful and thorough responses to questions and prompts, ranging from factual questions like “Who was the president of the United States in 1955” to more open-ended questions such as “What’s the meaning of life ”
ChatGPT went viral just days after its launch. But many educators fear students will use the tool to cheat on assignments. One user, for example, fed ChatGPT an AP English exam question; it responded with a 5-paragraph essay about Wuthering Heights. Another user asked the chatbot to write an essay about the life of William Shakespeare four times; he received a unique version with the same prompt each time.
Darren Hicks, assistant professor of philosophy at Furman University, told C. NN it will be harder to prove when a student misuses ChatGPT than with other forms of cheating.
12. What did Jenna Lyle think of ChatGPT
A. It provides incorrect answers. B. It serves no practical purpose.
C. It offers inaccurate information. D. It fails to improve students’ skills.
13. What do educators fear about ChatGPT
A. It will affect students’ studies. B. It will lead to students cheating.
C. It will result in students’ long screen time. D. It will offer unhealthy contents to students.
14. What do we learn about ChatGPT
A. It can’t write Chinese essays. B. It can’t answer open-ended questions.
C. It makes no mistakes when answering questions. D. It can offer different essays for the same prompt.
15. What would be the most suitable title for the text
A. ChatGPT Makes Cheating More Difficult to Find
B. ChatGPT Surprises the Public with Its Intelligence
C. ChatGPT Has Negative Effects on Students Learning
D. ChatGPT will be banned in New York City Public Schools
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是纽约市公立学校将禁止学生和教师使用ChatGPT，他们担心这一人工智能工具会助长学生作弊和错误信息的传播。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success.”(“虽然这个工具可能能够提供快速而简单的问题答案，但它并不能培养批判性思维和解决问题的能力，而这对学术和终身成功至关重要。”)”可知，Jenna Lyle认为，ChatGPT不能帮助学生培养批判性思维和解决问题的技能，而这些是他们学术和终身成功所必需的。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The move comes amid educators’ growing concerns that the tool, which generates frighteningly convincing responses and even essays in response to user prompts (提示), could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments.(这一举措出台之际，教育工作者越来越担心，这一工具可能会让学生更容易在作业中作弊，因为它可以根据用户提示生成令人害怕的令人信服的回答，甚至是论文)”可知，纽约市的教育工作者担心ChatGPT将导致学生在完成作业时的作弊行为。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“One user, for example, fed ChatGPT an AP English exam question; it responded with a 5-paragraph essay about Wuthering Heights. Another user asked the chatbot to write an essay about the life of William Shakespeare four times; he received a unique version with the same prompt each time.(例如，一个用户向ChatGPT提供了一个AP英语考试问题；它以一篇关于《呼啸山庄》的5段文章作为回应。另一位用户要求聊天机器人写四篇关于威廉·莎士比亚生平的文章；提示相同的情况下，他每次都收到一个独特的版本)”可知，给ChatGPT提示让它写文章，他能给出不准确的答案或者是给出不同版本的答案，即ChatGPT可以给相同的提示提供不同的文章。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“New York City public schools will ban students and teachers from using ChatGPT, a powerful new AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, on the district’s networks and devices, an official confirmed to CNN on Thursday.(一名官员周四向CNN证实，纽约市公立学校将禁止学生和教师在学区的网络和设备上使用ChatGPT，这是一款功能强大的新型人工智能聊天机器人工具)”并结合下文中对ChatGPT的功能以及使用情况的分析可知，本文主要告诉我们纽约市公立学校出于防止学生作弊的目的将禁止学生和教师使用ChatGPT，所以本文的题目为“ChatGPT将在纽约市公立学校被禁止使用”与本文的内容一致，且概括了文章的主题。故选D。

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。空处为状语修饰动词known，所以此处用副词widely。故填widely。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：然而，在过去的三个月里，这个工业城市的美味烧烤广受欢迎，吸引了大量游客的到来，使它成为一个旅游热点。空处在句中为谓语，结合句中“over the past three months”可知，空处的时态为现在完成时，主语“barbecue”为单数含义，与动词“gain”为主谓关系，所以语态用主动，助动词用has，故填has gained。
【39题详解】
考查不定式。句意：“我从来没有想到淄博烧烤突然变得如此受欢迎!”山东旅游与酒店学院工商管理部副主任张琳琳说。短语：expect sth. to do“期待……做某事”，结合句中“so popular all of a sudden!”可知，空处可以用不定式的一般式to become，也可以用不定式的完成式to have become，表示动作已经发生。故填to become/have become。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：随着最近的大量宣传，我的许多年轻同事都急于尝试。根据前文“With the recent much publicity”及下文“They all praised its great taste and reasonable price. ”可知，淄博烧烤变得流行起来，所以此处指我的许多年轻同事都急于尝试淄博烧烤，因此此处用代词it指代Zebo barbecue，故填it。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：张琳正在研究淄博的烧烤热，以确定可持续的战略，以促进青年旅游和支持旅游业的复苏。分析句子可知，空处及其后的内容在句中为定语从句，先行词为“strategies”，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which/that，故填which/that。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：张琳正在研究淄博的烧烤热，以确定可持续的战略，以促进青年旅游和支持旅游业的复苏。作动词的宾语，为特指应用名词recovery。故填recovery。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：食物在推动旅游消费和赢得游客的心方面起着至关重要的作用。根据句中“driving tourism spending and ”可知，空处与上文“driving”并列，作介词in的宾语，所以此处用winning，故填winning。
44题详解】
考查介词。句意：北京第二外国语大学中国文化与旅游研究院副教授吴丽云通过自己的经历说明了这一点。短语reflect on/upon“回忆；回顾”，故填on/upon。
【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：都江堰诱人的烤串、临沂美味的沂蒙炒鸡和广州美味的烤牡蛎，不仅是我计划中最难忘和最重要的组成部分，而且是我回来的最大动力。空处为定语修饰名词“motivation”，结合空前冠词“the”，所以此处用形容词的最高级greatest，故填greatest。

Tom threw himself on the sofa, sighing. Mother’s Day was coming, but he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without any money ” he thought.
Tom picked up the newspaper that was lying on the sofa. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring(赞助)a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a beautiful and precious gift for her.” said the advertisement.
“This is perfect!” thought Tom. He ran to his room with the newspaper. After taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want her to. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters(怪兽). And she gives me the best hug but never in front of my friends, who may laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Tom liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品). “Mom will love having a special gift,” he thought.
Tom checked his mailbox every day for his prize. Days went by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Tom still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now ” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a gift. And he still didn’t have money.

A kind man, Keith Walker, who was 53 years old, kept his own pitbull called Bravo at the W-Underdogs center (an animal shelter) overnight and was on his way to pick him up when he saw the flames on December 18.
He didn't just rescue his own pet, but he made sure that all the animals were safe. He said, “I was nervous at first and really scared to go in there with all that smoke. I am not going to lie.” However, Keith suddenly remembered that his father once said humans had a duty to protect animals. So he said, " My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn't be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs."
Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said that the shelter was left uninhabitable by the fire, which was electrical. But luckily, they were about to move into a new place, so there was still somewhere for the animals to live.
She said, "Keith is my guardian angel. Even the firefighters didn't know how to handle the animals. They called Animal Control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe."
Keith, who has been homeless since he was 13, has now been regarded as a hero after saving the six dogs and ten cats. Well-wishers have raised almost $40,000 for him on GoFundMe, a fundraising platform.
In a separate fundraiser for the shelter itself to rebuild after the fire, Gracie said, “Keith worked tirelessly to bring our animals to safety. Although he refused all offers of help, we are determined to contact him again. He is a vital part of our community and he should be appropriately rewarded for his selfless efforts.”
4. What did Keith do at the first sight of the fire
A. He waited for help. B. He turned to his father.
C. He protected his own pets. D. He hesitated for a moment.
5. What damage did the fire bring about
A. Some firefighters were badly injured. B. The animals lost their shelter.
C. Some cats disappeared. D. Keith lost his pitbull.
6. Why is Gracie going to contact Keith again
A. To reward him for what he did. B. To raise money for him.
C. offer him a good job. D. To rebuild a home for him.
7. Which of the following can best describe Keith
A Ambitious and helpful. B. Determined and modest.
C Honest and brave. D. Generous and calm.
C
Seeds on Ice
Close to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of
Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment，no grains，no gardens，no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity （多样性） of crops around the world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault （地窖） represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation （贮藏） of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot，dry weather.
Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below—zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining （保留） their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy，impractical, and expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired，fed up，and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.
The Seed Vault is about hope and commitrnent - about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant，long-lasting，and worthy of who we are and wish to be
8. According to the passage, the Seed Vault is ___________.
A. a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed
B. a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops
C. a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture
D. a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops
9. The underlined word“viable”in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. mature B. clean
C. alive D. valuable
10. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us __________.
A. how the seeds are preserved B. where people keep the seeds
C. why the seeds are protected D. what people do to study the seeds
11. We can know from the passage that _________.
A. the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change
B. most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties
C. the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity
D. many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise

New York City public schools will ban students and teachers from using ChatGPT, a powerful new AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, on the district’s networks and devices, an official confirmed to CNN on Thursday.
The move comes amid educators’ growing concerns that the tool, which generates frighteningly convincing responses and even essays in response to user prompts (提示), could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.
“Due to concerns about negative impacts on student learning and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content, access to ChatGPT is restricted on New York City Public Schools’ networks and devices,” Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary for the New York public schools, said in a statement.
“While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success.”
OpenAI opened up access to ChatGPT in late November. It is able to provide lengthy, thoughtful and thorough responses to questions and prompts, ranging from factual questions like “Who was the president of the United States in 1955” to more open-ended questions such as “What’s the meaning of life ”
ChatGPT went viral just days after its launch. But many educators fear students will use the tool to cheat on assignments. One user, for example, fed ChatGPT an AP English exam question; it responded with a 5-paragraph essay about Wuthering Heights. Another user asked the chatbot to write an essay about the life of William Shakespeare four times; he received a unique version with the same prompt each time.
Darren Hicks, assistant professor of philosophy at Furman University, told C. NN it will be harder to prove when a student misuses ChatGPT than with other forms of cheating.
12. What did Jenna Lyle think of ChatGPT
A. It provides incorrect answers. B. It serves no practical purpose.

13. What do educators fear about ChatGPT

C. It will result in students’ long screen time. D. It will offer unhealthy contents to students.
14. What do we learn about ChatGPT
A. It can’t write Chinese essays. B. It can’t answer open-ended questions.
C. It makes no mistakes when answering questions. D. It can offer different essays for the same prompt.
15. What would be the most suitable title for the text

Tom threw himself on the sofa, sighing. Mother’s Day was coming, but he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without any money ” he thought.
Tom picked up the newspaper that was lying on the sofa. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring(赞助)a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a beautiful and precious gift for her.” said the advertisement.
“This is perfect!” thought Tom. He ran to his room with the newspaper. After taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want her to. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters(怪兽). And she gives me the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who may laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Tom liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品). “Mom will love having a special gift,” he thought.
Tom checked his mailbox every day for his prize. Days went by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Tom still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now ” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a gift. And he still didn’t have money.
He had to think of something. Tom closed his eyes, curled(使弯曲)his toes and thought hard.
