第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage, but these days it’s more like a movie set. Get to know some films to find fantastic film locations(地点）you should check out on your travels.
The Sound o f Music
Austria’s hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists. Mozart may have been born in Salzburg, but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. Cross Residenzplatz Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into the lake.
Troy
Although the Palace of Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in the UK, most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California, Mexico, Malta with historic sites arid beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece. Troy was shot at a host of locations, including Golden Bay, Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli (where the city of Troy was constructed). The Trojan horse from the film is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale, Turkey.
Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London. Her special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market, one of the city’s oldest and biggest food markets. According to The Telegraph, it would be highly unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in value by more than 240 percent.
Harry Potter
J. K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it’s no surprise that she set most of the story there. The Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high Glenfinnan Viaduct. The second highest waterfall in the UK, Steal Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.
1. What does the author mean by saying “Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage, but these days it’s more like a movie set”？
A. More movies will need more sets.
B. More and more films are being made.
C. All the world has become a huge stage for arts.
D. Many places have become famous because they were used as movie sets.

3. What do the last two films have in common
A. Both of them are mainly about romance.
B. Both authors lived in the same house.
C. Most of their stories were set in the UK.
D. They cause the prices of houses to rise.
B
Most 5-year-olds are just learning their ABCs but one little girl from the UK has actually written a book that was published in January 2022. Bella-Jay Dark from Weymouth, is the world’s youngest female to be published and was awarded the title by Guinness World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录). Her book, The Lost Cat tells the story of Snowy, a cat who got lost after going outside alone at night. She hopes the book will teach children not to go outside at night alone.
While many adult writers find inspiration for their books from life experiences, Bella’s creative vision actually came from one of her drawings. “It started off as a picture. My daddy said I could make a book and a story came from the picture,” Bella said.
Her mom, Chelsie Syme, was surprised that the book turned out as well as it did. “I am just really proud of her; I did not think it was going to go this far so I’m just proud and want to see her get the acknowledgement she deserves.”
But how do you get a child’s homemade book published According to Syme, they took Bella’s book to a book fair and found a publisher willing to take a chance on it. Syme helped Bella with proofing copies (校对本) and making necessary changes. To earn the Guinness World Record title of The World’s Youngest Published Author, female, the book has to be published by a commercial publishing house and have at least 1000 copies printed and sold. Bella’s book met the criteria, so she was awarded the title.
Besides being an accomplished author, Bella is just a regular kid who enjoys reading, swimming, and playing on her tablet. In her free time, she is currently working on a sequel (续篇) to Snowy’s story. Who knows what pearls of wisdom will come next
4. Who is Snowy
A A lost child. B. Bella’s pet.

A. Records. B. Standards. C. Guesses. D. Difficulties.
7. What can we infer about Bella
A. Her father is a painter.
B. Her mother is strict with her.
C. She wants to help children with her book.
D. She pays much attention to protecting animals.
C
Here are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now Are people happier as they get older A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it-found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.
Arthur Stone, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality, improved as they got older.
8. Based on the study, which adult age group experiences the most stress
A. Adults in their 20s. B. Adults in their 50s.
C. Adults in their 70s. D. Adults in their 80s.
9. What conclusion can be drawn from the text
A. Stress levels significantly decrease as people age.
B. Young adults face less stress due to better health.
C. People in their 70s experience the greatest happiness.
D. Women of different ages tend to experience more negative emotions than men.
10. What could be a likely reason for older people feeling happier
A. The elderly don't have the burden of daily hard work.
B. The elderly have ample financial resources.
C. The elderly feel more grateful for their lives.
D. The elderly often focus more on negative events for longer periods.
11. What is TRUE according to the findings of the study
A. Aging leads to increased sleep issues.
B. The older one gets, the poorer the sleep quality.
C. Sleep quality declines in middle age but improves in later years.
D. There's a link between sleep and happiness.
D
A recent report revealed that, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3. 1 million tons were recycled. Worldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics are even worse for certain types of plastic. For example, out of 80,000 tons of polystyrene(聚苯乙烯) containers generated in the United States, only a small amount (less than 5,000 tons) was recycled.
Now, researchers at The University of Queensland have found a species of worm with an appetite for polystyrene could be the key to plastic recycling on a mass scale. The superworm can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme(酶) in their gut. To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up 135 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran(麸皮), another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.
“We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or starved worms, more than doubling their weight over the three weeks they have been monitored. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the starved worms,” Dr. Rinke said.“This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes.”
Researchers used a technique called metagenomics to find several encoded enzymes with the ability to degrade(降低) polystyrene The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to degrade plastic waste in recycling plants.
“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut,”Dr. Rink e said. It’s hoped this bio-upcycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to degrade polystyrene. Then they can look into how to upscale this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant.
12. What problem do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate
A. Landfills are poorly managed.
B. It takes a long time for plastic waste to break up.
C. Many plastic containers are of poor quality.
D. The rate of recycled plastics are very low.
13. How do researchers conduct the study on superworms
A. By making a comparison. B. By collecting data.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By referring to a previous study.
14. What can we infer from Dr Rinke’s words
A. Superworms could survive on only eating polystyrene.
B. Superworms showed little interest in wheat bran.
C. Plastic-fed worms had an obvious increase in weight.
D. Bran-fed worms had a longer lifespan than plastic-fed worms.
15. What do researchers plan to do
A. Conduct experiments on other worm species.
B. Improve gut bacteria's ability to degrade plastics.
C Raise superworms on a mass scale to solve plastic pollution.
D. Apply the bio-upcycling technology to recycling plants.

It was dark, cold and raining on December 24. James left his office and walked slowly across the street to the parking place. He was very tired. He took out his car key and put down his umbrella. He put the key into the lock and turned it. Nothing happened. The door would not open. Then James realised that it was the wrong car. His car was red, but this one was dark blue. “Oh dear! I must have parked in a different place this morning,” thought he. Putting up his umbrella, he set off to look for his car. The rain poured down and the evening got colder and colder.
Having walked round all the side streets, James didn’t find his car. He was exhausted and angry. “Someone must have stolen my car,” he thought. “Now I shall have to go to the police station and report it.” The policeman there was very helpful. He wrote down a description of James car and then took his address and telephone number. As James was leaving, the policeman wished him a merry Christmas.
“Christmas!” thought James. “Oh no! I’ve forgotten all about Christmas. I haven’t bought my wife a present and now all the shops are shut. What shall I do ” When waiting for the bus, he got wetter and more miserable (难受的). He had no umbrella and the rain flowed down into his collar. He felt like bursting into tears.
When James got home, he found his wife standing on a chair and looking for something in a very high cupboard. “What are you doing, Jessica ” he asked. “The big gold star for the Christmas tree,” Jessica replied. “Just a moment. I’ll go into the garage (车库) and fetch the stepladder (梯子) for you,” said James. When James saw .the well-decorated Christmas tree and lots of presents under it, he felt even more unhappy. “What a lovely tree!” he thought as he went downstairs, “I haven’t even got one present for Jessica. I’ve lost my car and I’m completely wet. I must have lost my umbrella, too.”

Most 5-year-olds are just learning their ABCs but one little girl from the UK has actually written a book that was published in January 2022. Bella-Jay Dark from Weymouth, is the world’s youngest female to be published and was awarded the title by Guinness World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录). Her book, The Lost Cat tells the story of Snowy, a cat who got lost after going outside alone at night. She hopes the book will teach children not to go outside at night alone.
While many adult writers find inspiration for their books from life experiences, Bella’s creative vision actually came from one of her drawings. “It started off as a picture. My daddy said I could make a book and a story came from the picture,” Bella said.
Her mom, Chelsie Syme, was surprised that the book turned out as well as it did. “I am just really proud of her; I did not think it was going to go this far so I’m just proud and want to see her get the acknowledgement she deserves.”
But how do you get a child’s homemade book published According to Syme, they took Bella’s book to a book fair and found a publisher willing to take a chance on it. Syme helped Bella with proofing copies (校对本) and making necessary changes. To earn the Guinness World Record title of The World’s Youngest Published Author, female, the book has to be published by a commercial publishing house and have at least 1000 copies printed and sold. Bella’s book met the criteria, so she was awarded the title.
Besides being an accomplished author, Bella is just a regular kid who enjoys reading, swimming, and playing on her tablet. In her free time, she is currently working on a sequel (续篇) to Snowy’s story. Who knows what pearls of wisdom will come next
4. Who is Snowy
A. A lost child. B. Bella’s pet.
C. A talented female writer. D. A cat in Bella’s work.
5. What is the inspiration of Bella’s book

C. A picture Bella drew herself. D. A storybook bought by her father.
6. What does the underlined word “criteria” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Records. B. Standards. C. Guesses. D. Difficulties.
7. What can we infer about Bella
A. Her father is a painter.
B. Her mother is strict with her.

Here are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now Are people happier as they get older A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it-found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.
Arthur Stone, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality, improved as they got older.
8. Based on the study, which adult age group experiences the most stress
A. Adults in their 20s. B. Adults in their 50s.
C. Adults in their 70s. D. Adults in their 80s.
9. What conclusion can be drawn from the text
A. Stress levels significantly decrease as people age.
B. Young adults face less stress due to better health.
C. People in their 70s experience the greatest happiness.
D. Women of different ages tend to experience more negative emotions than men.
10. What could be a likely reason for older people feeling happier
A. The elderly don't have the burden of daily hard work.
B. The elderly have ample financial resources.
C. The elderly feel more grateful for their lives.
D. The elderly often focus more on negative events for longer periods.
11. What is TRUE according to the findings of the study
A. Aging leads to increased sleep issues.
B. The older one gets, the poorer the sleep quality.
C. Sleep quality declines in middle age but improves in later years.
D. There's a link between sleep and happiness.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要说明人们在年老之后更多快乐更少担心，幸福感有所增加的现象。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.(他的研究小组发现，22岁至25岁的成年人的压力水平最高)”可知，20多岁的成年人压力最大。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.(然而，所有年龄段的女性都比男性报告了更多的悲伤、压力和担忧)”可知，不同年龄的女性往往比男性经历更多的负面情绪。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“So why would happiness increase with age One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.(那么，为什么幸福感会随着年龄增长而增长呢 有一种理论认为，随着年龄的增长，人们会对所拥有的一切更加感恩，也能更好地控制自己的情绪。他们也很少花时间去想不好的经历)”可知，老年人感觉更开心是因为他们对自己的生命更加感恩。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality, improved as they got older.(这项研究的最初目的是证实人们普遍认为衰老与睡眠问题增加有关。调查确实发现，在中年，尤其是女性中，这种情况有所增加。但除此之外，人们报告说，随着年龄的增长，他们感到自己的睡眠质量有所改善)”可知，人到中年睡眠质量会下降，但在晚年会有所改善。故选C项。

A recent report revealed that, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3. 1 million tons were recycled. Worldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics are even worse for certain types of plastic. For example, out of 80,000 tons of polystyrene(聚苯乙烯) containers generated in the United States, only a small amount (less than 5,000 tons) was recycled.
Now, researchers at The University of Queensland have found a species of worm with an appetite for polystyrene could be the key to plastic recycling on a mass scale. The superworm can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme(酶) in their gut. To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up 135 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran(麸皮), another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.
“We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or starved worms, more than doubling their weight over the three weeks they have been monitored. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the starved worms,” Dr. Rinke said.“This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes.”
Researchers used a technique called metagenomics to find several encoded enzymes with the ability to degrade(降低) polystyrene. The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to degrade plastic waste in recycling plants.
“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut,”Dr. Rink e said. It’s hoped this bio-upcycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to degrade polystyrene. Then they can look into how to upscale this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant.
12. What problem do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate
A. Landfills are poorly managed.
B. It takes a long time for plastic waste to break up.
C. Many plastic containers are of poor quality.
D. The rate of recycled plastics are very low.
13. How do researchers conduct the study on superworms
A. By making a comparison. B. By collecting data.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By referring to a previous study.
14. What can we infer from Dr Rinke’s words
A. Superworms could survive on only eating polystyrene.
B. Superworms showed little interest in wheat bran.
C. Plastic-fed worms had an obvious increase in weight.
D. Bran-fed worms had a longer lifespan than plastic-fed worms.
15. What do researchers plan to do
A. Conduct experiments on other worm species.
B. Improve gut bacteria's ability to degrade plastics.
C. Raise superworms on a mass scale to solve plastic pollution.
D. Apply the bio-upcycling technology to recycling plants.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种对聚苯乙烯有食欲的超级蠕虫可能是大规模塑料回收的关键。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A recent report revealed that, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3. 1 million tons were recycled. Worldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics are even worse for certain types of plastic.(最近的一份报告显示，仅在美国，2018年就有2700万吨塑料最终进入垃圾填埋场，但只有310万吨回收。世界范围内的数据同样糟糕，只有9%的塑料被回收利用。某些类型的塑料的统计数据甚至更糟)”可推知，第一段说明了塑料的回收率很低的问题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up 135 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran(麸皮), another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.(为了研究超级蠕虫对纯塑料食物的反应，研究人员将135只超级蠕虫分成三组：一组只喂麦麸，另一组只喂塑料，第三组什么都不喂)”可知，研究者通过作比较的方法对超级蠕虫进行研究。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段““We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or starved worms, more than doubling their weight over the three weeks they have been monitored. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the starved worms,” Dr. Rinke said.“This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes.”(“我们发现，用麸皮喂养的蠕虫比用塑料喂养或挨饿的蠕虫要健康得多，在监测的三周内，它们的体重增加了一倍多。”林克博士说:“虽然塑料喂养的蠕虫没有那么明显的增长，但它们仍然比饥饿的蠕虫增重更多。这表明蠕虫可以从塑料中获取能量，很可能是在肠道微生物的帮助下。”)”可推知，超级蠕虫只靠吃聚苯乙烯就能存活。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to degrade polystyrene. Then they can look into how to upscale this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant.(研究人员表示，他们的目标是在实验室培养肠道细菌，并进一步测试其降解聚苯乙烯的能力。然后，他们可以研究如何将这一过程提升到整个回收厂所需的水平)”可知，研究者们计划将生物升级回收技术应用于回收工厂。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了屏风相关的历史知识。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：最初，屏风是可以挡风的垂直物体。空处放在句首，用逗号隔开，为副词作状语，放在句首，首字母大写。故填Originally。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。根据protection及the wind可知，此处用介词from，protection from the wind意思：防风。故填from。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：后来，它们被用来分隔房间，提供隐私，甚至用它们的细节设计来炫耀主人的权力和财富。空处作offer的宾语用名词，privacy意思为：隐私，不可数名词。故填privacy。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据《周礼》，只有皇帝才能在正门前面放置屏风。分析句子可知，空处用非谓语动词作后置定语，screen与face构成逻辑上的主动关系，用现在分词。故填facing。
【40题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：据说孔子曾经批评齐国的政治家管仲违反了礼仪规范，因为管仲曾经在他的门前设置了一个屏风。根据Guan Zhong及powerful politician of the Qi State可知，管仲是齐国的政治家，此处表示泛指“一位”，用不定冠词，powerful以辅音音素开始发音，不定冠词用a。故填a。
41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处缺少关系词引导限制性定语从句，先行词screen作从句faced的主语，表示事物，用that/which引导从句。故填which/that。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：当时，贵族们还在家中使用屏风，将房间划分为不同阶层的人的单独空间。此处class意思为：等级，根据different可知，此处表示不同等级，用名词复数。故填classes。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：据《史记》记载，孟尝君在家接见客人时，让仆人坐在屏风后面，把他们的谈话记录下来。根据when Lord Mengchang met guests at home可知，句子为一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填had。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：由于他们来自下层阶级，仆人们不能和贵族们一起出席。根据they were from a lower class及主句内容可知，前半句是表示原因，用as引导原因状语从句，放在句首，首字母大写。故填As。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：到了汉代，富人也用屏风来装饰他们的家。空处用形容词作定语修饰people，wealthy意思为：富有的。故填wealthy。

47. 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。
It was dark, cold and raining on December 24. James left his office and walked slowly across the street to the parking place. He was very tired. He took out his car key and put down his umbrella. He put the key into the lock and turned it. Nothing happened. The door would not open. Then James realised that it was the wrong car. His car was red, but this one was dark blue. “Oh dear! I must have parked in a different place this morning,” thought he. Putting up his umbrella, he set off to look for his car. The rain poured down and the evening got colder and colder.
Having walked round all the side streets, James didn’t find his car. He was exhausted and angry. “Someone must have stolen my car,” he thought. “Now I shall have to go to the police station and report it.” The policeman there was very helpful. He wrote down a description of James car and then took his address and telephone number. As James was leaving, the policeman wished him a merry Christmas.
“Christmas!” thought James. “Oh no! I’ve forgotten all about Christmas. I haven’t bought my wife a present and now all the shops are shut. What shall I do ” When waiting for the bus, he got wetter and more miserable (难受的). He had no umbrella and the rain flowed down into his collar. He felt like bursting into tears.
When James got home, he found his wife standing on a chair and looking for something in a very high cupboard. “What are you doing, Jessica ” he asked. “The big gold star for the Christmas tree,” Jessica replied. “Just a moment. I’ll go into the garage (车库) and fetch the stepladder (梯子) for you,” said James. When James saw .the well-decorated Christmas tree and lots of presents under it, he felt even more unhappy. “What a lovely tree!” he thought as he went downstairs, “I haven’t even got one present for Jessica. I’ve lost my car and I’m completely wet. I must have lost my umbrella, too.”

【答案】As James opened the garage door, he spotted something, frozen in amazement. Inside the garage was his red car. He suddenly remembered that it wouldn’t start this morning so he just took a taxi to work. James was overjoyed. He was just about to rush upstairs and tell Jessica the good news when he heard, “Meow! Meow!” He looked inside the car and there sat a small kitten with pointed ears and green eyes. James’ eyes were glued to the kitten for a few minutes and a brilliant idea struck him. “This is for Jessica.” He picked the kitten up.
Pleased to know his car was there, James entered the room with the present. “This is your present,” said to Jessica happily. “Oh, thank you, darling. I’ve always wanted a kitten,” her face lit up. Just then the telephone rang. It was the policeman. James was told that his car hadn’t been found but his umbrella was got in the police station. Putting the phone down, James gazed at Jessica, joy welling up inside him. Bathed in the warm Christmas atmosphere, James walked over to Jessica and hugged her tightly.
