On 17 September 2023, Senior 1 student Charlie Robson was enjoying his dinner at the stand when there came a sudden scream from the boy next to his table, who accidentally swallowed the plastic wrapper stuck to the bottom of his food.
Seeing him unable to cough it up, the boy’s mother was immediately filled with fear as she stood there, patting his son’s back anxiously. “Somebody help! My son is going to choke with the wrapper in his throat.”
Charlie noticed that the boy’s face had turned complete purple. He knew he must take action immediately. Otherwise, the boy’s life was in great danger.

Minutes later, the plastic wrapper was eventually forced out and the boy began to breathe again.
Seeing the boy was safe, Charlie rushed to the school without knowing his act of kindness went viral after someone in the scene posted the video on Tik Tok. Charlie’s father said, “I’m so proud of my son. He is a brave boy with great responsibility. He didn’t tell me what had happened until I saw the video on Tik Tok.”

We’re so grateful that he stepped in to help when my son was faced with such a dangerous situation. Thanks so much for educating such well-rounded students with good moral virtues.” In response to the letter, Jimmy Mehwish, the headmaster of the school, said, “At the very beginning of the semester, Charlie has set a great example for all the students. His kindness really sets a tone for everyone else.”

【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：有一种说法认为，马面群的“裙门”与古城墙上用于防御的一种结构“马面”十分相似，因此裙门得名“马面裙”。空处修饰动词短语look like，应用副词形式，故填closely。

【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：当他全神贯注地玩手机时，他没有注意到他的母亲走过来了。“be absorbed in”是一个固定短语，意思是“全神贯注于……，专心致志于……”，用于此句中，表示“他”全神贯注地在看他的手机，在when引导的状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致且从句含有be动词时，可以将从句的主语和be动词省略，所以空白处填过去分词absorbed。故填absorbed。
