Jamil Jan Kochai, the author of 99 Nights in Logar, searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung — the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier. On Saturday night, the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
The writer was born in a refugee camp for Afghans in Peshawar, Pakistan, and his family moved to California when he was just a year old. At home, they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi, so by the time he reached first grade, he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English. Then came Mrs. Lung, who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.
The two got to work, meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school. At the end of the school year, Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.
Lung and Kochai lost touch when Kochai’s father got a job in another city and the boy moved on, with a new love of reading and writing. When he grew older, Kochai’s parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her. But despite his efforts, he failed to track her down.
“I didn’t know her first name. She was always just Mrs. Lung to me, so when I called places to ask about her, they couldn’t find any records of her,” Kochai said.
Then, while promoting his first novel, he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life. Lung’s doctor happened to read it, and told the now-retired educator about that.
Lung’s husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai’s reading event on Saturday in Davis, California and suggested he drive his wife there.
“I had no idea they were going to be there,” Kochai said. “It was just like a sweet dream. Mrs. Lung was sitting in the front row. She was just the same Mrs. Lung. Just as sweet, kind and warm as ever.”
Kochai and Lung hugged, and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.
4 How did Mrs. Lung help Kochai
A. By dropping by his house regularly. B. By asking him to read more in class.
C. By spending extra time tutoring him. D. By saving him out of a refugee camp.
5. Why did Kochai have difficulty finding Mrs. Lung
A. There were few records about her. B. His parents provided little support.
C. He was too young to remember her. D. He had limited information about her.
6. How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs. Lung at his reading event
A. Surprised and delighted. B. Discouraged and frustrated.
C. Uneasy and curious. D. Alarmed and awe-inspiring.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Distinguished Guest Showed Up at a Reading Event
B. A Writer Was Finally Reunited With His Former Teacher
C. A Famous Teacher Saved a Poor Student’s Whole Life
D. A Book Changed a Celebrity and a Retired Teacher
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Jamil Jan Kochai花了十年时间寻找改变了他一生的老师Susan Lung，最后老师惊喜地出现在了Jamil Jan Kochai的读书会上的故事，表达了Jamil Jan Kochai对老师的感谢。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The two got to work, meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school.(他们两个开始工作，每天放学他们进行一对一教学。)”可知，Mrs. Lung通过利用课余时间来辅导Kochai来帮助她，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段““I didn’t know her first name. She was always just Mrs. Lung to me, so when I called places to ask about her, they couldn’t find any records of her,” Kochai said.( Kochai说道：“我不知道她的名字。对我来说，她就是Mrs. Lung，所以当我打电话去找她时，她们找不到她的任何记录。”)”可知，Kochai找不到Mrs. Lung是因为它不知道她的名字，只知道她的姓，因此关于她的信息是有限的，故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““I had no idea they were going to be there,” Kochai said. “It was just like a sweet dream. Mrs. Lung was sitting in the front row. She was just the same Mrs. Lung. Just as sweet, kind and warm as ever.”(( Kochai说道：“我不知道他们会在那里。这就像是一个甜美的梦一样。Mrs. Lung坐在前排，她就像原来一样，那么可爱，善良，温暖。”)”可知，Kochai不知道Mrs. Lung会来，所以对Kochai来说，Mrs. Lung的到来令他很惊讶，且他感觉到就像是一场甜美的梦一样，因此是高兴快乐的，故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Jamil Jan Kochai, the author of 99 Nights in Logar, searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung — the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier. On Saturday night, the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.(《洛加尔的99夜》的作家Jamil Jan Kochai花了十年的时间寻找——她是20年来改变了他一生的二年级老师Susan Lung。周六晚上，两人终于在他的一次读书活动中重聚。)”可知，本文通过对Jamil Jan Kochai花了十年时间寻找改变了他一生的老师Susan Lung，最后老师惊喜地出现在了Jamil Jan Kochai的读书会上的描述，表达了Jamil Jan Kochai对老师的感谢，故B项“一位作家终于和他以前的老师重逢了”符合文章标题，故选B。
C
When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they’re feeling — or are they feeling nothing at all
Humans have a complex range of feelings, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals. Some of us own dogs, because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us. Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: “We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner — but not a stranger — pretends to cry.” The empathetic ability of cats, however, is harder to work out.
Other non-domesticated (非驯养的) animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies. It’s believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings. Kim says: “They can be optimistic, pessimistic, or frightened, and respond to pain just like any mammal would.”
Dr Barbara J King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary, told the BBC: “If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is whether they feel the same way as us.”
8. What’s the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraph
A. To attract. B. To inspire. C. To entertain. D. To persuade.
9. What do the underlined words “empathetic ability” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The ability to respond to others’ questions.
B. The ability to stay calm when facing danger.
C. The ability to share work with their owners.
D. The ability to understand others’ feelings.
10. What’s the importance of the research, according to Barbara
A. It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.
B. It may lead people to reconsider animals’ well-being.
C. It may change the food chain of the whole world.
D. It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.
11. How do the researchers sound when talking about the issue
A. Certain. B. Critical. C. Careful. D. Regretful.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人类有复杂的情感，动物是否也有情感呢？研究表明动物可能具有一定的情感，但不知道动物是否具有和人类一样的情感。如果我们能够理解动物深层次的情感，我们需要重新思考对待动物的方式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they’re feeling—or are they feeling nothing at all (当你遇到动物时，你会想知道它们在想什么吗？看到一只刚出生的羔羊或一只可爱的小狗可能会激起我们的快乐情绪，但它们在想什么？它们脸上的表情和行为是否表明了它们的感受——或者他们什么都没有感觉？)”提出了三个关于动物的问题，从而激发读者思考动物是否有思想、是否有感受，由此可推测出，作者在第一段提出问题是为了吸引读者的阅读兴趣。故选A。
【9题详解】
短语猜测题。画线词前面的“We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner—but not a stranger—pretends to cry. (我们现在有一些研究实际上科学地表明，当主人——而不是陌生人——假装哭时，一些狗会做出反应。)”可知讲述了狗对主人的哭泣会有反应，这说明狗能够理解人类的感情。根据画线词后的“of cats, however, is harder to work out”可知，这里在说猫的这种能力很难发挥出来，由此可推测出，empathetic ability意为“移情能力”，即理解他人感受的能力。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Barbara的话“If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses(屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. (如果我们了解动物能感受到的深刻情感，这应该会让我们质疑世界各地动物园和屠宰场的存在，并重新思考这些系统。)”可推知，如果研究证明了动物有深刻的情感，那么我们需要重新思考如今人类对待动物的方式是否照顾到动物的幸福。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中的“We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically”“They can be optimistic, pessimistic, or frightened, and respond to pain just like any mammal would”“It does seem all creatures feel emotion”等可知，这些研究人员在谈论动物是否有情感这个问题的时候，非常谨慎、小心地表达意见。故选C。
D
In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought both excitement and concerns to various fields. One area where AI is making a profound impact is the medical field, particularly in the domain of diagnostics.
Al-powered diagnostic systems leverage deep learning algorithms to analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These algorithms can detect subtle patterns and anomalies that might be missed by human radiologists, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
However, the integration of AI in medical diagnostics raises complex ethical questions. For instance, who should be held responsible if an AI system misdiagnoses a patient’s condition Should AI algorithms be treated as medical professionals, with legal and liability implications These questions become even more intricate when considering that AI systems learn from vast datasets of medical information, which might contain biases or inaccuracies.
Furthermore, the adoption of AI diagnostics could impact the role of healthcare professionals. Some argue that AI could enhance doctors’ capabilities by providing them with additional insights, while others fear that it might replace human expertise, leading to job losses and a potential decrease in the quality of patient care. Despite these challenges, proponents of AI diagnostics emphasize its potential to improve healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved regions where there is a shortage of skilled medical professionals. Al-powered diagnostics could provide preliminary assessments and recommendations, helping to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers.
12. What is the primary advantage of AI-powered diagnostic systems in the medical field
A. They provide additional insights to doctors.
B. They replace the need for human radiologists.
C. They analyze medical images using deep learning algorithms.
D. They focus on detecting visible patterns in medical images.
13. What is a potential ethical concern regarding AI in medical diagnostics
A. The potential for AI algorithms to replace human doctors.
B. The reliability of AI algorithms in analyzing medical images.
C. The legal responsibility for misdiagnoses made by AI systems.
D. The biased data used for training AI algorithms.
14. How might the integration of AI diagnostics impact healthcare professionals
A. AI could enhance doctors’ expertise and skills.
B. AI could lead to job losses in the medical field.
C. AI could decrease the quality of patient care.
D. AI could replace human doctors completely.
15. What potential benefit of AI diagnostics is highlighted in the text
A. AI diagnostics could decrease the quality of patient care.
B. AI diagnostics could primarily serve regions with sufficient medical professionals.
C. AI diagnostics could bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility.
D. AI diagnostics could replace the need for skilled radiologists.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。近年来，人工智能(AI)的进步给各个领域带来了兴奋和担忧。人工智能正在产生深远影响的一个领域是医疗领域，特别是在诊断领域。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Al-powered diagnostic systems leverage deep learning algorithms to analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.(人工智能诊断系统利用深度学习算法来分析医学图像，如x射线、核磁共振成像和CT扫描)”可知，人工智能诊断系统在医疗领域的主要优势在于，它们使用深度学习算法分析医学图像。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, the integration of AI in medical diagnostics raises complex ethical questions. For instance, who should be held responsible if an AI system misdiagnoses a patient’s condition (然而，人工智能在医疗诊断中的整合引发了复杂的伦理问题。例如，如果人工智能系统误诊了病人的病情，谁应该承担责任 )”可知，人工智能在医疗诊断中的潜在伦理问题是人工智能系统误诊的法律责任。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“while others fear that it might replace human expertise, leading to job losses and a potential decrease in the quality of patient care. (而另一些人则担心它可能取代人类的专业知识，导致失业，并可能降低患者护理质量)”可知，人工智能诊断对医疗保健专业人员的影响是人工智能可能会导致医疗领域的失业。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Despite these challenges, proponents of AI diagnostics emphasize its potential to improve healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved regions where there is a shortage of skilled medical professionals. Al-powered diagnostics could provide preliminary assessments and recommendations, helping to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers.(尽管存在这些挑战，但人工智能诊断的支持者强调，它有可能改善医疗服务的可及性，特别是在缺乏熟练医疗专业人员的服务不足地区。人工智能诊断可以提供初步评估和建议，帮助弥合患者和医疗保健提供者之间的差距)”可知，人工智能诊断可以弥补医疗保健可及性方面的差距。故选C。

【16题详解】
空格前的句子“You may probably miss your friends from high school.（你可能会想念你的高中朋友）”提到“会想念你的高中朋友”的问题，怎么解决这一问题呢？A项“Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely.（积极尝试寻找新朋友可以帮助缓解孤独感）”给出了解决办法，所以把A项填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系。故选A。
【17题详解】
空格处是该部分的主题句，根据下文的内容“If you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors. As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello. Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold. Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.（如果你让门开着，这表明你欢迎客人。因此，人们自然会停下来和你打招呼。关着的门不太可能带来很多访客，而那些把自己锁在房间里的人可能会给别人留下很冷的印象。其他学生不太可能停下来建立新的友谊）”该部分主要是说，你要表示“欢迎他人的到来”，所以D项“Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room.（在你的宿舍挂一个欢迎的牌子）”填入空格处，符合题意。选择D。
18题详解】
空格前的句子“Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people.（参加有组织的社交活动是结识新朋友的好方法）”是说参加社交活动的意义；空格后的句子“By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests.（通过积极参加大学社团，如俱乐部和组织，你可以遇到很多和你有共同兴趣的人）”是说参加大学社团的意义，所以，空格处的句子也应该是说参加社交活动或大学社团的意义，G项“It also helps you get more familiar with the campus.（它还可以帮助你更加熟悉校园）”填入空格处，符合语境，G项中的it指的上一句中的Getting involved in organized socialization。故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless”. However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $ 12.25 per pared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. As expected, his face turned purple immediately. He glared at me like a bull. "You have your whole life to work," he said, “but your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head down. “How much will you be paid, son ” He demanded. "$12.25 per hour.” “Well," he shrugged. “Is $12.25 an hour the price of a dream ”
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. Yes, dream is priceless. It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream. I held my head high and said firmly, “Sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I know what to do next." My coach smiled with great satisfaction. That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training. And one year later, I obtained a baseball scholarship to the University. I knew I would soon buy my mum a house. Thankfully, I made a right choice. Without Mr. Jarvis, I would never know I could afford a dream.

Jamil Jan Kochai, the author of 99 Nights in Logar, searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung — the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier. On Saturday night, the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
The writer was born in a refugee camp for Afghans in Peshawar, Pakistan, and his family moved to California when he was just a year old. At home, they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi, so by the time he reached first grade, he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English. Then came Mrs. Lung, who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.
The two got to work, meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school. At the end of the school year, Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.
Lung and Kochai lost touch when Kochai’s father got a job in another city and the boy moved on, with a new love of reading and writing. When he grew older, Kochai’s parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her. But despite his efforts, he failed to track her down.
“I didn’t know her first name. She was always just Mrs. Lung to me, so when I called places to ask about her, they couldn’t find any records of her,” Kochai said.
Then, while promoting his first novel, he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life. Lung’s doctor happened to read it, and told the now-retired educator about that.
Lung’s husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai’s reading event on Saturday in Davis, California and suggested he drive his wife there.
“I had no idea they were going to be there,” Kochai said. “It was just like a sweet dream. Mrs. Lung was sitting in the front row. She was just the same Mrs. Lung. Just as sweet, kind and warm as ever.”
Kochai and Lung hugged, and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.
4. How did Mrs. Lung help Kochai
A. By dropping by his house regularly. B. By asking him to read more in class.
C. By spending extra time tutoring him. D. By saving him out of a refugee camp.
5. Why did Kochai have difficulty finding Mrs. Lung
A. There were few records about her. B. His parents provided little support.
C. He was too young to remember her. D. He had limited information about her.
6. How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs. Lung at his reading event
A. Surprised and delighted. B. Discouraged and frustrated.
C. Uneasy and curious. D. Alarmed and awe-inspiring.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Distinguished Guest Showed Up at a Reading Event
B. A Writer Was Finally Reunited With His Former Teacher
C. A Famous Teacher Saved a Poor Student’s Whole Life
D. A Book Changed a Celebrity and a Retired Teacher
C
When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they’re feeling — or are they feeling nothing at all
Humans have a complex range of feelings, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals. Some of us own dogs, because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us. Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: “We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner — but not a stranger — pretends to cry.” The empathetic ability of cats, however, is harder to work out.
Other non-domesticated (非驯养的) animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies. It’s believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings. Kim says: “They can be optimistic, pessimistic, or frightened, and respond to pain just like any mammal would.”
Dr Barbara J King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary, told the BBC: “If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is whether they feel the same way as us.”
8. What’s the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraph
A. To attract. B. To inspire. C. To entertain. D. To persuade.
9. What do the underlined words “empathetic ability” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The ability to respond to others’ questions.
B. The ability to stay calm when facing danger.
C. The ability to share work with their owners.
D. The ability to understand others’ feelings.
10. What’s the importance of the research, according to Barbara
A. It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.
B. It may lead people to reconsider animals’ well-being.
C. It may change the food chain of the whole world.
D. It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.
11. How do the researchers sound when talking about the issue
A. Certain. B. Critical. C. Careful. D. Regretful.
D
In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought both excitement and concerns to various fields. One area where AI is making a profound impact is the medical field, particularly in the domain of diagnostics.
Al-powered diagnostic systems leverage deep learning algorithms to analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These algorithms can detect subtle patterns and anomalies that might be missed by human radiologists, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
However, the integration of AI in medical diagnostics raises complex ethical questions. For instance, who should be held responsible if an AI system misdiagnoses a patient’s condition Should AI algorithms be treated as medical professionals, with legal and liability implications These questions become even more intricate when considering that AI systems learn from vast datasets of medical information, which might contain biases or inaccuracies.
Furthermore, the adoption of AI diagnostics could impact the role of healthcare professionals. Some argue that AI could enhance doctors’ capabilities by providing them with additional insights, while others fear that it might replace human expertise, leading to job losses and a potential decrease in the quality of patient care. Despite these challenges, proponents of AI diagnostics emphasize its potential to improve healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved regions where there is a shortage of skilled medical professionals. Al-powered diagnostics could provide preliminary assessments and recommendations, helping to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless”. However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $ 12.25 per pared with the average $3.5 that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.
