At the age of 16, I lived with my parents at an institute 18 miles from Durba n with no neighbors around. One day my father needed a ride to town for a conference. Meanwhile, my mother gave a list of groceries and my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, “I will meet you here at 5: 00 p. m., and we will go home together. ”
After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theater. I got so engrossed that I forgot the time. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6: 00 p. m. He anxiously asked me, “Why were you late ” I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a movie that I said, “The car wasn’t ready, so I had to wait,” not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said, “There’s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I’m going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.”
So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn’t leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered.
I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don’t think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday.

Do mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type Maybe—but it’s not just one factor that influences why these winged pests are attracted to us and researchers can’t seem to agree on a definitive answer.
Science reveals that a variety of factors might make you more palatable to mosquitoes, from your skin microbiota (微生物群) and carbon dioxide emitted in your breath to the color of clothing you’re wearing (with colors like red, orange, and black being the most attractive to mosquitoes) . But in the end, much of the variation in mosquito preference comes down to two factors: our natural body odor and genetics.
Only the females bite humans and they do it to get a “blood meal”, deriving proteins from our blood to produce their eggs. To help locate their prey, female mosquitoes use their antennae (触角) and palps, the organs between their antennae, to detect carbon dioxide and odor. That means people who have a high metabolic (代谢) rate and emit more carbon dioxide, including those who are pregnant, working out, or drinking alcohol tend to be more attractive to mosquitoes.
The question of whether mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type is controversial. One theory suggests that blood type may also help determine mosquito preference. If that’s the case, what blood type do mosquitoes like A 2019 study found that the major mosquito vector of dengue virus preferred people with type O blood to those with other blood types.
However, separate research notes that experimental and laboratory data evaluating whether blood type makes one person more (or less) attractive to mosquitoes has fueled a lot of speculation, but the science is contradictory. Instead, the researchers report that the likelihood of being a “mosquito magnet” has more to do with skin odor and microbiota than blood type.
28. What does the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Accessible. B. Visible. C. Appealing. D. Suited.
29. Which of the following might affect mosquito preference
A. Clothing material. B. Body smell.
C. Breath frequency. D. Blood concentration.
30. Who is more likely to attract mosquitoes
A. A sweet tooth. B. A body builder.
C. A happy camper. D. An overweight woman.
31. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Everyone is equally likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.
B. People with type AB blood won’t be bitten by mosquitoes.
C. Some uncertainty exists about what influences mosquito preference.
D. Mosquito preference for humans is mainly determined by blood type.
D
A self- driving taxi operated by a Chinese tech giant recently hit a passer- by crossing against a traffic light in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, sparking heated discussions on the challenges and limitations facing autonomous driving technology, especially in complex circumstances.
Zhang Xiang, an auto sector researcher at North China University of Technology, said that the incident in Wuhan indicates that self- driving technology has progressed significantly over the past few years, but it still encounters difficulties under ever- changing road conditions and has some limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as motorists or passers-by violating traffic rules. There are still some obstacles to integrating the self- driving vehicles into the existing road traffic safety management system, as the legal obligations of relevant subjects involving autonomous vehicles have not been clarified under current laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, the commercial application of robotaxis in more cities across the country has raised concerns about employment, as taxi drivers are worried about losing their jobs due to intense competition from driverless ride-hailing vehicles, industry experts said. So far, more than 20 cities nationwide have introduced policies supporting autonomous driving tests, with more than 60 enterprises having obtained self- driving test licenses.
Nevertheless, some believe that people only prefer to experience this emerging technology, and the number of robotaxis on the road is still far smaller than those of taxis. It is also noted that the pressure on taxi drivers mainly comes from fierce competition between private ride-hailing cars and traditional taxis, and that the autonomous driving vehicles will not have a serious impact on the job market or replace human drivers in the short term.
Despite the challenges, the development of self- driving industry will strengthen the intelligent transformation of auto industry and speed the construction of vehicle- road coordination systems, which support the transfer of information from vehicles to roadway networks as a way to improve traffic efficiency.
According to research company BloombergNEF's “Electric Vehicle Outlook” report, China will operate the world's largest robotaxi fleet of about 12 million self- driving vehicles by2040, followed by the United States with around 7 million such vehicles.
32. What can we learn from Zhang Xiang's words
A. Self-driving technology suffers a bottleneck.
B. It is not easy to promote self-driving vehicles.
C. Motorists or passers-by tend to break traffic rules.
D. The present road traffic system is far from perfect.
33. Which of the following is a threat to conventional taxi drivers
A. The impact of private ride- hailing cars. B. Employment caused by driverless vehicles.
C. Complex and ever- changing road conditions. D. A great many passers-by breaking traffic rules.
34. What is the main topic of the text
A The future of the transportation industry.
B. The history of autonomous driving technology.
C. The accident of a self-driving taxi and its implications.
D. The advantages of self-driving taxis over traditional taxis.
35 What is the author's attitude towards self- driving industry
A. Partial. B. Favorable. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.

67. 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。
Chip was not willing to go to school. The only hour of his day that was bearable was science class. He used to think of science as a bunch of boring words in a textbook, but Mr. O’Dell had changed all that.
It started when Mr. O’Dell announced how students could get a good grade in his class—not by memorizing a lot of facts but by thinking. The students stared at him, either wondering what he was talking about or else marveling (惊叹) at the reddish brown hair surrounding his shiny bald head...
Mr. O’Dell asked another question, “What common substance can take the form of a liquid, a solid, or a gas ”
Nobody answered. The class just sat there, waiting for Mr. O’Dell to explain what that had to do with anything. Then Chip got it. The first liquid he thought of was water, and then ice. Ice is a solid. And when water gets superhot, it turns to steam. He wasn’t sure if steam was a gas or not, but when nobody else spoke, Chip blurted out, “Water ”
After that Chip could tell that Mr. O’Dell liked him. Chip liked him too—at least most of the time.
The best part about science class was the field trips. Once when a student pointed out an ant hill, Mr. O’Dell put his nose down so close to watch that Chip expected an ant to climb right onto it and march up through the freckles(雀斑)to stare back at him through his gold-rimmed glasses. Another time, Mr. O’Dell had the whole class sit cross-legged in a circle to watch a chameleon (变色龙) change from brown to bright green. Anyone who wasn’t paying close attention missed the important moment when it shot its long tongue and brought a fly back into its mouth.
Mr. O’Dell had the students take detailed notes on each animal or insect they were observing. He added that the creatures ought to be right where they were, doing whatever they were doing.
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The minute the lesson turned to science, Chip exploded with energy and enthusiasm.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Holding a chameleon, Chip rushed into the classroom, his eyes dancing with excitement.

67. 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。
Chip was not willing to go to school. The only hour of his day that was bearable was science class. He used to think of science as a bunch of boring words in a textbook, but Mr. O’Dell had changed all that.
It started when Mr. O’Dell announced how students could get a good grade in his class—not by memorizing a lot of facts but by thinking. The students stared at him, either wondering what he was talking about or else marveling (惊叹) at the reddish brown hair surrounding his shiny bald head...
Mr. O’Dell asked another question, “What common substance can take the form of a liquid, a solid, or a gas ”
Nobody answered. The class just sat there, waiting for Mr. O’Dell to explain what that had to do with anything. Then Chip got it. The first liquid he thought of was water, and then ice. Ice is a solid. And when water gets superhot, it turns to steam. He wasn’t sure if steam was a gas or not, but when nobody else spoke, Chip blurted out, “Water ”
After that Chip could tell that Mr. O’Dell liked him. Chip liked him too—at least most of the time.
The best part about science class was the field trips. Once when a student pointed out an ant hill, Mr. O’Dell put his nose down so close to watch that Chip expected an ant to climb right onto it and march up through the freckles(雀斑)to stare back at him through his gold-rimmed glasses. Another time, Mr. O’Dell had the whole class sit cross-legged in a circle to watch a chameleon (变色龙) change from brown to bright green. Anyone who wasn’t paying close attention missed the important moment when it shot its long tongue and brought a fly back into its mouth.
Mr. O’Dell had the students take detailed notes on each animal or insect they were observing. He added that the creatures ought to be right where they were, doing whatever they were doing.

The minute the lesson turned to science, Chip exploded with energy and enthusiasm.

Paragraph 2:
Holding a chameleon, Chip rushed into the classroom, his eyes dancing with excitement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The minute the lesson turned to science, Chip exploded with energy and enthusiasm. Out where Chip lived there wasn’t a lot of wildlife in the plowed fields, but quite a few interesting creatures still lived in the drainage ditches and the high grass along the banks. Chip knew where to find the birds’ nests built so low to the ground that you could look right in and watch the eggs hatch. He’d also knew how to tell the difference between slow land turtles and snapping turtles. So it was easy for Chip to capture a chameleon.
Holding a chameleon, Chip rushed into the classroom, his eyes dancing with excitement. Mr. O’Dell was as excited as if it was a baby dinosaur. In about five minutes he had everybody in the class involved in trying to find out more about skinks. But when the class ended, he’d called Chip up to his desk and said, “Now, you’ll take this chameleon back and put it right where you found it. Humans are pretty good at adapting to new locations, but some creatures can’t manage it at all. If you take them out of their natural environment, they just die.” Chip took the skink back to the drainage ditch where he’d found it and let it go.

At the age of 16, I lived with my parents at an institute 18 miles from Durba n with no neighbors around. One day my father needed a ride to town for a conference. Meanwhile, my mother gave a list of groceries and my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, “I will meet you here at 5: 00 p. m., and we will go home together. ”
After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theater. I got so engrossed that I forgot the time. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6: 00 p. m. He anxiously asked me, “Why were you late ” I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a movie that I said, “The car wasn’t ready, so I had to wait,” not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said, “There’s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I’m going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.”
So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn’t leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered.
I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don’t think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday.

Do mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type Maybe—but it’s not just one factor that influences why these winged pests are attracted to us and researchers can’t seem to agree on a definitive answer.
Science reveals that a variety of factors might make you more palatable to mosquitoes, from your skin microbiota (微生物群) and carbon dioxide emitted in your breath to the color of clothing you’re wearing (with colors like red, orange, and black being the most attractive to mosquitoes) . But in the end, much of the variation in mosquito preference comes down to two factors: our natural body odor and genetics.
Only the females bite humans and they do it to get a “blood meal”, deriving proteins from our blood to produce their eggs. To help locate their prey, female mosquitoes use their antennae (触角) and palps, the organs between their antennae, to detect carbon dioxide and odor. That means people who have a high metabolic (代谢) rate and emit more carbon dioxide, including those who are pregnant, working out, or drinking alcohol tend to be more attractive to mosquitoes.
The question of whether mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type is controversial. One theory suggests that blood type may also help determine mosquito preference. If that’s the case, what blood type do mosquitoes like A 2019 study found that the major mosquito vector of dengue virus preferred people with type O blood to those with other blood types.
However, separate research notes that experimental and laboratory data evaluating whether blood type makes one person more (or less) attractive to mosquitoes has fueled a lot of speculation, but the science is contradictory. Instead, the researchers report that the likelihood of being a “mosquito magnet” has more to do with skin odor and microbiota than blood type.
28. What does the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Accessible. B. Visible. C. Appealing. D. Suited.
29. Which of the following might affect mosquito preference
A. Clothing material. B. Body smell.
C. Breath frequency. D. Blood concentration.
30. Who is more likely to attract mosquitoes
A. A sweet tooth. B. A body builder.
C. A happy camper. D. An overweight woman.
31. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Everyone is equally likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.
B. People with type AB blood won’t be bitten by mosquitoes.
C. Some uncertainty exists about what influences mosquito preference.
D. Mosquito preference for humans is mainly determined by blood type.
D
A self- driving taxi operated by a Chinese tech giant recently hit a passer- by crossing against a traffic light in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, sparking heated discussions on the challenges and limitations facing autonomous driving technology, especially in complex circumstances.
Zhang Xiang, an auto sector researcher at North China University of Technology, said that the incident in Wuhan indicates that self- driving technology has progressed significantly over the past few years, but it still encounters difficulties under ever- changing road conditions and has some limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as motorists or passers-by violating traffic rules. There are still some obstacles to integrating the self- driving vehicles into the existing road traffic safety management system, as the legal obligations of relevant subjects involving autonomous vehicles have not been clarified under current laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, the commercial application of robotaxis in more cities across the country has raised concerns about employment, as taxi drivers are worried about losing their jobs due to intense competition from driverless ride-hailing vehicles, industry experts said. So far, more than 20 cities nationwide have introduced policies supporting autonomous driving tests, with more than 60 enterprises having obtained self- driving test licenses.
Nevertheless, some believe that people only prefer to experience this emerging technology, and the number of robotaxis on the road is still far smaller than those of taxis. It is also noted that the pressure on taxi drivers mainly comes from fierce competition between private ride-hailing cars and traditional taxis, and that the autonomous driving vehicles will not have a serious impact on the job market or replace human drivers in the short term.
Despite the challenges, the development of self- driving industry will strengthen the intelligent transformation of auto industry and speed the construction of vehicle- road coordination systems, which support the transfer of information from vehicles to roadway networks as a way to improve traffic efficiency.
According to research company BloombergNEF's “Electric Vehicle Outlook” report, China will operate the world's largest robotaxi fleet of about 12 million self- driving vehicles by2040, followed by the United States with around 7 million such vehicles.
32. What can we learn from Zhang Xiang's words
A. Self-driving technology suffers a bottleneck.
B. It is not easy to promote self-driving vehicles.
C. Motorists or passers-by tend to break traffic rules.
D. The present road traffic system is far from perfect.
33. Which of the following is a threat to conventional taxi drivers
A. The impact of private ride- hailing cars. B. Employment caused by driverless vehicles.
C. Complex and ever- changing road conditions. D. A great many passers-by breaking traffic rules.
34. What is the main topic of the text
A The future of the transportation industry.
B. The history of autonomous driving technology.
C. The accident of a self-driving taxi and its implications.
D. The advantages of self-driving taxis over traditional taxis.
35 What is the author's attitude towards self- driving industry
A. Partial. B. Favorable. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.

At the age of 16, I lived with my parents at an institute 18 miles from Durba n with no neighbors around. One day my father needed a ride to town for a conference. Meanwhile, my mother gave a list of groceries and my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, “I will meet you here at 5: 00 p. m., and we will go home together. ”
After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theater. I got so engrossed that I forgot the time. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6: 00 p. m. He anxiously asked me, “Why were you late ” I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a movie that I said, “The car wasn’t ready, so I had to wait,” not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said, “There’s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I’m going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.”
So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn’t leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered.
I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don’t think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday.

Do mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type Maybe—but it’s not just one factor that influences why these winged pests are attracted to us and researchers can’t seem to agree on a definitive answer.
Science reveals that a variety of factors might make you more palatable to mosquitoes, from your skin microbiota (微生物群) and carbon dioxide emitted in your breath to the color of clothing you’re wearing (with colors like red, orange, and black being the most attractive to mosquitoes) . But in the end, much of the variation in mosquito preference comes down to two factors: our natural body odor and genetics.
Only the females bite humans and they do it to get a “blood meal”, deriving proteins from our blood to produce their eggs. To help locate their prey, female mosquitoes use their antennae (触角) and palps, the organs between their antennae, to detect carbon dioxide and odor. That means people who have a high metabolic (代谢) rate and emit more carbon dioxide, including those who are pregnant, working out, or drinking alcohol tend to be more attractive to mosquitoes.
The question of whether mosquitoes prefer a certain blood type is controversial. One theory suggests that blood type may also help determine mosquito preference. If that’s the case, what blood type do mosquitoes like A 2019 study found that the major mosquito vector of dengue virus preferred people with type O blood to those with other blood types.
However, separate research notes that experimental and laboratory data evaluating whether blood type makes one person more (or less) attractive to mosquitoes has fueled a lot of speculation, but the science is contradictory. Instead, the researchers report that the likelihood of being a “mosquito magnet” has more to do with skin odor and microbiota than blood type.
28. What does the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Accessible. B. Visible. C. Appealing. D. Suited.
29. Which of the following might affect mosquito preference
A. Clothing material. B. Body smell.
C. Breath frequency. D. Blood concentration.
30. Who is more likely to attract mosquitoes
A. A sweet tooth. B. A body builder.
C. A happy camper. D. An overweight woman.
31. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Everyone is equally likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.
B. People with type AB blood won’t be bitten by mosquitoes.
C. Some uncertainty exists about what influences mosquito preference.
D. Mosquito preference for humans is mainly determined by blood type.

A self- driving taxi operated by a Chinese tech giant recently hit a passer- by crossing against a traffic light in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, sparking heated discussions on the challenges and limitations facing autonomous driving technology, especially in complex circumstances.
Zhang Xiang, an auto sector researcher at North China University of Technology, said that the incident in Wuhan indicates that self- driving technology has progressed significantly over the past few years, but it still encounters difficulties under ever- changing road conditions and has some limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as motorists or passers-by violating traffic rules. There are still some obstacles to integrating the self- driving vehicles into the existing road traffic safety management system, as the legal obligations of relevant subjects involving autonomous vehicles have not been clarified under current laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, the commercial application of robotaxis in more cities across the country has raised concerns about employment, as taxi drivers are worried about losing their jobs due to intense competition from driverless ride-hailing vehicles, industry experts said. So far, more than 20 cities nationwide have introduced policies supporting autonomous driving tests, with more than 60 enterprises having obtained self- driving test licenses.
Nevertheless, some believe that people only prefer to experience this emerging technology, and the number of robotaxis on the road is still far smaller than those of taxis. It is also noted that the pressure on taxi drivers mainly comes from fierce competition between private ride-hailing cars and traditional taxis, and that the autonomous driving vehicles will not have a serious impact on the job market or replace human drivers in the short term.
Despite the challenges, the development of self- driving industry will strengthen the intelligent transformation of auto industry and speed the construction of vehicle- road coordination systems, which support the transfer of information from vehicles to roadway networks as a way to improve traffic efficiency.
According to research company BloombergNEF's “Electric Vehicle Outlook” report, China will operate the world's largest robotaxi fleet of about 12 million self- driving vehicles by2040, followed by the United States with around 7 million such vehicles.
32. What can we learn from Zhang Xiang's words
A. Self-driving technology suffers a bottleneck.
B. It is not easy to promote self-driving vehicles.
C. Motorists or passers-by tend to break traffic rules.
D. The present road traffic system is far from perfect.
33. Which of the following is a threat to conventional taxi drivers
A. The impact of private ride- hailing cars. B. Employment caused by driverless vehicles.
C. Complex and ever- changing road conditions. D. A great many passers-by breaking traffic rules.
34. What is the main topic of the text
A. The future of the transportation industry.
B. The history of autonomous driving technology.
C. The accident of a self-driving taxi and its implications.
D. The advantages of self-driving taxis over traditional taxis.
35. What is the author's attitude towards self- driving industry
A. Partial. B. Favorable. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. B

67. 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。
Chip was not willing to go to school. The only hour of his day that was bearable was science class. He used to think of science as a bunch of boring words in a textbook, but Mr. O’Dell had changed all that.
It started when Mr. O’Dell announced how students could get a good grade in his class—not by memorizing a lot of facts but by thinking. The students stared at him, either wondering what he was talking about or else marveling (惊叹) at the reddish brown hair surrounding his shiny bald head...
Mr. O’Dell asked another question, “What common substance can take the form of a liquid, a solid, or a gas ”
Nobody answered. The class just sat there, waiting for Mr. O’Dell to explain what that had to do with anything. Then Chip got it. The first liquid he thought of was water, and then ice. Ice is a solid. And when water gets superhot, it turns to steam. He wasn’t sure if steam was a gas or not, but when nobody else spoke, Chip blurted out, “Water ”
After that Chip could tell that Mr. O’Dell liked him. Chip liked him too—at least most of the time.
The best part about science class was the field trips. Once when a student pointed out an ant hill, Mr. O’Dell put his nose down so close to watch that Chip expected an ant to climb right onto it and march up through the freckles(雀斑)to stare back at him through his gold-rimmed glasses. Another time, Mr. O’Dell had the whole class sit cross-legged in a circle to watch a chameleon (变色龙) change from brown to bright green. Anyone who wasn’t paying close attention missed the important moment when it shot its long tongue and brought a fly back into its mouth.
Mr. O’Dell had the students take detailed notes on each animal or insect they were observing. He added that the creatures ought to be right where they were, doing whatever they were doing.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The minute the lesson turned to science, Chip exploded with energy and enthusiasm.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Holding a chameleon, Chip rushed into the classroom, his eyes dancing with excitement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The minute the lesson turned to science, Chip exploded with energy and enthusiasm. Out where Chip lived there wasn’t a lot of wildlife in the plowed fields, but quite a few interesting creatures still lived in the drainage ditches and the high grass along the banks. Chip knew where to find the birds’ nests built so low to the ground that you could look right in and watch the eggs hatch. He’d also knew how to tell the difference between slow land turtles and snapping turtles. So it was easy for Chip to capture a chameleon.
Holding a chameleon, Chip rushed into the classroom, his eyes dancing with excitement. Mr. O’Dell was as excited as if it was a baby dinosaur. In about five minutes he had everybody in the class involved in trying to find out more about skinks. But when the class ended, he’d called Chip up to his desk and said, “Now, you’ll take this chameleon back and put it right where you found it. Humans are pretty good at adapting to new locations, but some creatures can’t manage it at all. If you take them out of their natural environment, they just die.” Chip took the skink back to the drainage ditch where he’d found it and let it go.
