第一节 参考范文：
Dear boys and girls,
As you have noticed, more and more students are addicted to cellphones, which does harm to their health mentally and physically.
First, staring at a cell phone screen for hours can lead to dry eyes or other eye diseases. Besides, on your way home or to school, with your attention fully focused on the cell phone, perhaps you will fail to notice the traffic around you, which will be a great danger to you.
I think it’s high time that we should use it appropriately. Try to set cellphones aside. Only in this way, can we meet the better ourselves.
The Students’ Council
第二节 读后续写参考范文：
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. My mind went blank for the rest of the school day. My heart broke when I saw all my friends gathering after school, joking and laughing around. It was then that it occurred to me that nobody was going to give me a position on that team. I would have to earn it by myself. Having made this mental breakthrough, I decided to work for my goal of making the team. I decided to hit the gym every day.
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again. I felt confident. Regardless of the outcome, I knew that I had worked hard. The next day, I found out that I was on the list. Seeing my name printed in large bold letters on the name list made me feel excited. My dream came true finally. I became a member of the school basketball team. From the experience, I realized that the greater efforts we made, the sweeter reward we would get and that success needed painstaking efforts and patience.

M：I’ll make you a cup and you can see what you think! (1)
Text 2
M：Wow, I love this song! It’s the theme song of my favorite TV show.
W：“Rainy Land” I love it too! The band that wrote the song provides a lot of music for movies. Do you know them
M：No, I only know “Rainy Land”. (2)
Text 3
W：It says in this article that exercising later in the day could help manage blood sugar better than working out in the morning. (3)
M：Oh, really
W：Yeah. It says the information is only based on one small study, but it’s still interesting.
Text 4
W：What do you think of this AI painting
M：Hmm… Well, it’s a pleasing subject. (4) But I’ve found that it has just mixed many famous paintings from different artists. And the color hurts my eyes.
Text 5
W：Do you really think live streaming can help me
M：Sure! It is great for increasing sales and bringing in new customers. And it’s perfect for a business like yours. Make-up is a perfect product for showing on social media. (5)
Text 6
M：You must be new to this course. What made you want to learn about acting (6)
W：It’s not that I want to pursue acting in movies or theater. My mother was an actress when she was my age. So, I wanted to learn these skills like her. (6)
M：I love that. And you’re in high school, so it’s a perfect time to learn performance arts.
W：Yes. Which skills do you teach in this class (7)
M：My main talent is singing. (7) But I also teach dancing and character acting when the teachers are on sick leave.
Text 7
M：So, how’s the new apartment (9)
W：Absolutely tiny! But there’s a great café nearby, and it only takes me five minutes to cycle to the office. (8)
M：Lucky you! It took me almost 45 minutes to get here this morning. (8)
W：Honestly, I love it. But it’s rather empty-looking. I want to make it more welcoming and look fuller, (9) but I’m struggling to choose colors. I absolutely love red. But that would be too powerful in such a small space.
M：Well, don’t they say that white walls make a space seem bigger
W：Yeah. But I think white often looks “cold” and boring.
M：What about something warm and bright, like light yellow or orange
W：Hmm… That’s a great idea. I haven’t considered those colors.
Text 8 (第10、12题为推断题)
W：Hi, thanks for coming. I was driving and the car just stopped. I pulled over and phoned for assistance.
M：Okay, let’s see if I can get it going again. Can you tell me anything more Like, was the car making any noises before it broke down
W：Only when it began to stop, not before. I was going along without any problems, then it began losing power.
M：Let’s look at the engine. Can you turn the keys, please
W：Okay.
M：It’s not the battery because the lights are working. The engine all looks good, to be honest. When was the last time you filled up with petrol (11)
W：Er, not for a while. So, petrol isn’t likely to be the problem. Do you think it’s run out (11)
M：It certainly looks that way! See… (11)
W：Oh dear. I feel so stupid. (11)
M：Don’t worry. This happens to lots of people. We’ll soon get your car running again!
Text 9 (第13题为推断题)
M：Okay, Ling, have you decided on a topic for your end-of-year report
W：Yes, Mr. Yang. I want to write about China’s rural revitalization(乡村振兴) program. (16)
M：Okay, great. Have you done any research so far (14)
W：No, I’m still in the planning stage. I’d like to have a good structure decided before I begin writing. (14)
M：Okay, tell me what you’re thinking.
W：Well, there are many interesting aspects to this program, like environmental and social aspects, although I’m mainly interested in the economic side of things.
M：Interesting! Go on.
W：My father grew up on a farm. He went to college, but he always said he had no choice but to move to the city if he wanted to use his degree. Now, thanks to this program, the situation is changing. More young people are returning to their hometowns to start businesses in places with less competition. (15) (16)
M：And that’s what you plan to focus on (16)
W：Yes. (16) I believe the government’s plan to improve pay and conditions will turn the countryside into a place of opportunity and growth.
M：Well, it’s an interesting topic. I look forward to reading it!
Text 10
I turned 13 on the 22nd of January 2019, (17) and the first thing I did was register for a Facebook account. (18) Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I quickly began adding friends, sharing pictures and updating my status (状态). At first, I loved chatting and seeing into other people’s lives. (18) However, I soon saw a darker side to the online world. I posted a video of my cousin and I dancing to music, which received some mean comments from some of my classmates. (19) This kind of thing happened a few times, even though the girls involved were still nice to me in person. And it wasn’t just people I knew who were unkind online. After sharing my thoughts on a hobby group, I received some terrible private messages from a total stranger! These experiences really affected my confidence for a while. Then I realized that social media can help us understand the world, but it can also do us harm. I decided to focus on my real-life friendships and deleted my account. Now I’m older, I’m planning to go back on social media. (20) However, this time I’ll be stricter with what I share, and with the behavior I accept from others.
答案详解
A篇
【本文是一篇应用文，介绍了一个读书俱乐部的情况，阅读要求以及收费信息。】
21. C 细节理解题。文章中提到，“You must keep up with your reading so that you can join as a part of your group.” 可知，需要跟进俱乐部制定的阅读计划，故选C。
22. C 细节理解题。根据Fees部分“Kids from 8—18: 10 dollars a month”以及“Adults: 15 dollars a month.”可知，一个10岁的孩子和父母两个月的费用为：10×2+15×2×2=80（美元）。故选C
23. B 细节理解题。 根据What you should do中“You should take down notes and thoughts as you read. Everyone in the book club is expected to join in the discussion.”可知，读书时需要记笔记，记下自己的想法并参与讨论。故选B。
B篇
【本文是篇记叙文。圣伊格纳西奥是少数几个人们可以抚摸鲸鱼的地方之一，文章讲述了作者和孩子在圣伊格纳西奥的一段和鲸鱼互动的海上之旅，展现了人与自然界的和谐共处。】
B 细节理解题。文章中第一段提到作者和孩子们乘坐小船，目的是为了与灰鲸互动，如拍打水面吸引鲸鱼，甚至触摸鲸鱼，因此主要目的是与灰鲸互动。
A 推理判断题。第二段中作者提到船只数量受到严格限制，且鲸鱼是自愿接近船只的，这表明人类与鲸鱼的互动是受到控制的，以减少对鲸鱼的压力。
D 细节理解题。 根据第三段中的That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand. Though she’s wiser and apparently more alert than her child, she still decides to trust us. 可推知，当这只大型鲸鱼妈妈靠近他们的船时，作者感到这是一种“祝福”，因为尽管她会担心自己孩子们的安全，但她依然选择相信人类。
D 推理判断题。根据第一段“ I touched its skin gently.”（我温柔地摸着它的皮肤）和第二段“he seems to like being petted and splashed”（他好像很喜欢被抚摸和泼水）及最后一段“she still decides to trust us.”（她仍然决定相信我们）并结合全文内容可知，文章通过描述作者和孩子的一段与鲸鱼互动的海上之旅，想要展现人与自然和谐共处的场景，所以文章隐含的目的是提倡人与自然和谐相处。
C篇
【本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了日本一家出版公司发明了“绿色报纸”，这种报纸可以种植植物，很好地解决了废报纸问题。】
C 细节理解题。由第二段中“What makes it even more sustainable is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. (使它更具可持续性的是用于打印文字和照片的油墨，它是由植物制成的)”可知，“绿色报纸”是用植物油墨印制的。故选C项。
A 推理判断题。由第三段中“As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. (正如其使命声明所说，“Mainichi不仅通过信息采取行动，还通过解决全球问题采取行动。”在共同努力下，这一举措已传播到日本的各个角落，每天售出约数百万份)”可知，每天售出的绿色报纸传播到日本各地，Mainichi用自己的实际行动来解决环保问题。由此推知，他们的使命声明很好地表达了“行动胜于言语”的思想。故选A项。
D 推理判断题。由最后一段“Approximately 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users represents 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has impacted how people look at the news and the print readership has declined dramatically. Likewise, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper can bring about a revolution in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental impact. (每年大约有9500万棵树因制作报纸而损失。互联网，其用户数量为62。占全球人口的5%，影响了人们看待新闻的方式，印刷品读者人数急剧下降。同样，本报的重塑和重新构想可以带来出版业的革命，也会对环境产生影响)”可推知，作者首先阐述了互联网对出版业的影响，然后将“绿色报纸”和互联网类比，表明“绿色报纸”将会给出版业带来的巨大影响。故选D项。
B 主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，文章主要介绍了日本株式会社每日新闻社开发的嵌入植物种子的环保报纸“Green Newspaper”，该报纸采用环保油墨印制，把这种报纸的碎屑种在土壤里能长出植物，B项“有生命的报纸回馈地球”概括了文章主要内容且生动形象，选项中的“living”体现了能长出植物这一特点，“gives back to Earth”体现了报纸的绿色环保。故选B项。
D篇
【这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多伦多斯卡伯勒大学的研究人员关于人们浏览视频的研究，研究表明不断切换视频或在同一视频中前后跳跃实际上会让人们感到更无聊。】
A 主旨大意题。根据第一段 “a recent study reveals that frequently skipping between videos or fast-forwarding within them might not relieve boredom—it could actually make it worse.”以及纵观全文可知，文章主要探讨了人们在浏览视频时频繁切换或跳过内容如何影响他们的无聊感，因此主旨是视频切换与无聊之间的关系。
C 词义猜测题。根据第二段 “People who frequently switch videos are seeking more interesting content, but this actually reduces their engagement and increases feelings of boredom.（频繁切换视频的人是在寻找更有趣的内容，但这实际上降低了他们的参与度，增加了他们的无聊感）”及第三段 “as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse. （正如研究小组指出的那样，之前的研究表明，尽管缓解无聊是人们使用社交媒体或智能手机的一个动力，但使用这些技术似乎会让感觉更糟）”可知，之前的研究和现在的研究结果一样，推知 align with 是“与……一致”之意。
B 推理判断题。根据第四段“The initial two experiments had different results. One showed that people switch more when they find videos boring, and the other indicated that people thought the ability to skip or switch would reduce boredom.”可知人们持不同的观点。
D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Just like in a movie theatre, true enjoyment often comes from full immersion, not constant switching.”可知，Dr. Katy Tam建议人们沉浸于视频内容中来缓解无聊。
七选五
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。一次愉快的、漫长的家庭远足会给人们带来一种成就感。本文主要介绍了作者是如何做到让孩子们喜欢徒步旅行的。
G 考查段尾句。第二段的主要内容介绍的是远足的好处，空前内容已经介绍远足的两个好处，再根据句式判断和连词 “and” 的使用，表示逻辑上的并列关系，进一步阐述远足的好处，由此推断出G项符合语境。
D考查段中句。第三段主要内容讲述朋友和陌生人对于我的孩子们能够参加10英里的远足和攀爬2800英尺的高山表示惊讶，同时表达他们的孩子不愿走路去学校的情况，更不用说在恶劣的条件下走几个小时了。选项中的 “let alone”用来表示递进的关系，说明他们的孩子根本不愿意参加远足活动，由此推断出D选项内容符合语境。
F 考查段中句。第三段内容建议人们远足中要带食物，而且空前内容说明我们在出发前吃点东西是很常见的，以及空后出现的指示代词 “these” 的指代内容是官方站点提供的，所以不是免费发放的，由此推断出F选项符合符合语境。
A考查段首句。第六段的空后内容介绍了地图能够帮孩子们，而且作者经常会指给孩子们看他们所在的位置，将要到达的地点等，由此推断出A选项可以作为段落主题句。
E 考查段尾句。第七段主要内容讲述在远足与速度是无关的，作者建议不要追求速度，要设定舒适、缓慢的节奏，从而享受其中的乐趣。由此推断出E选项内容符合语境。
第三部分 英语知识运用
第一节 完形填空
【解题详解】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和昆曲的不解之缘。
D 利用同义复现。上文 “I have been interested in Chinese Kunqu Opera since I was eleven years old ”提到作者对中国昆曲的兴趣始于十一岁，由此可知，作者在十一岁时爱上了昆曲。fall in love with 与 been interested in 为同义复现。故选D。
A利用逻辑关系。由下文 “because I enjoyed the imaginative language” 可知，因为作者喜欢这种富于想象力的语言，才把这些美妙的单词抄到笔记本上。故选A。
B 利用逻辑关系。由“and”的并列连词后的“appreciate”，以及上文作者表达对昆曲的喜爱，推断出作者先注意到昆曲的腔调，然后再欣赏其曲调。故选B。
A 利用逻辑关系。由上文 “ I grew up in northern town with no Kunqu Opera performances”, 作者在一个没有昆曲演出的北方小镇长大，因此，从来没想过自己可以学习和表演昆曲，前后内容存在因果关系，故选A。
D 利用常识背景。由上文中的“never”强调作者之前从来没有想过自己可以学习和表演昆曲，直到作者参加了周六的课程，故选D。
C 利用逻辑关系。由下文 “often got up before 5 am to go to class”可知，作者经常早早地起床去上课学昆曲。由此可知，那个时候作者意志很坚定-下定决心去学好昆曲，故选C。single-handed 单枪匹马的；warm-hearted热心肠的；absent-minded 心不在焉的。
C 利用常识背景。由下文 “basic,like walking onstage” 并结合常识可知，训练应该是从最基本的内容开始，故选C。leave to导致；jump at欣然接受；break down分解。
A 利用逻辑关系。由上文 “the many requirements on the form are the only way to artistic”可知，在形式上的诸多要求会使人们在表演时更加完美，故选A。
B 利用逻辑关系和常识背景。由下文 “effortless they are onstage”可知，表演者付出很多努力是为了让自己在舞台上看起来似乎很轻松，故选B。
D利用逻辑关系。上文 “My training start with basic , like walking onstage” 提到作者开始练习昆曲，此处承接上文中的动作，应是作者在搬到美国求学后继续练习昆曲，我继续练习昆曲，所以 “continue”符合语境，故选D。
C 利用逻辑关系。由下文 “with my studies and creations” 和 “Kunqu Opera is connected with my 13 and with the Western art world today” 可知，此处与 “is connected with” 意思相关，应是固定搭配mix...with “将......与......融合”，即昆曲被融入作者的研究和创作中，故选C。
D利用原词复现。由上文This ancient art form” 和下文 “the Western art world” 可知，此处指作者在现代艺术和诗歌方面的研究和创作中，art是原词复现，故选D。
A 利用概括复现。由上文 “with my studies and creations” 可知，昆曲被融入作者在现代艺术和诗歌方面的研究和创作中，这说明了昆曲和作者的生活联系在了一起，life是studies 和creations的概括复现。故选A。
A 利用逻辑关系和情感色彩。由下文的 “and” 和 “influences will never disappear”可知，此处应用与 “influences” 情感色彩相近的词，强调昆曲的重要影响，所以 “value” “价值”符合语境，即昆曲的价值和影响永远不会消失。request要求；version版本；effect影响。故选A。
C利用逻辑关系。由后半句 “which means I’m willing to step into different art forms”,这就意味着我乐意走进不同的艺术形式里，因此可以推出昆曲对我有一种魔力，故magical这个词符合语境，故选C。impressive令人印象深刻的；moving令人感动的；energetic充满活力的。
第二节 语法填空
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者发现一家美味的肉夹馍餐馆的经历，并介绍了肉夹馍的几种类型。
but 考查连词。 “not...but...”表示“不是……而是……”，故填but。
attractions 考查词性转换和名词的数。空处位于介词from后，用名词，此处表示不止一个景点，用名词复数，故填attractions。
selling 考查非谓语动词。空处用非谓语动词修饰restaurant作后置定语，restaurant与sell构成逻辑上的主动关系，用现在分词作定语，故填selling。
a 考查冠词。根据语境可知，give it a try“尝试一下”是固定短语，try的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
bit 考查时态。when引导时间状语从句，空处缺少谓语，根据was并结合语境可知，句子为一般过去时，动词用过去式，bite的过去式为bit，故填bit。
imagining 考查非谓语动词。空处用非谓语动词imagining作伴随状语补充说明主语在“ordering more to take home”时的心理活动，故填imagining。
typically 考查词性转换。空处修饰used，用副词作状语。typical的副词形式为typically，故填typically。
more popular 考查比较等级。根据句意可知，此处将西安某些地区的肉馅和甘肃省的肉馅相比，空处表示“更受欢迎的”，用比较级形式more popular，故填more popular。
that 考查定语从句。先行词被序数词the first修饰，且定语从句I tried后缺宾语，只能用关系代词that来引导，故填that。
like 考查介词。空处缺少介词，根据语境可知，表示“像我这样的人”，用介词like，故填like。2024级“贵百河”3月高一年级新高考月考测试

B
It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat—small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water to signal the huge whale, which turns out a mother with her baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, appears to blow mist in my face, then lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy. Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.
San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍) or even plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek. I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale, we see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.
So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact. Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these attractive creatures turn violent when threatened. That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers. While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is an edition devoted to environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more sustainable is the ink used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advised readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most distinguished advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative. The publisher’s core belief is environmental sustainability. As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
Approximately 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users represents 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has impacted how people look at the news and the print readership has declined dramatically. Likewise, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper can bring about a revolution in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental impact.
28. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses water-resistant materials.
B. It functions as nutrients for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
29. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. It’s easier said than done.
30. How does the author explain the reinvention’s influence
A. By listing statistics. B. By analyzing results.
C. By conducting surveys. D. By making a comparison.
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. The Publishing Industry Sees a Green Milestone
B. A Living Newspaper Gives Back to Earth
C. Used Newspapers Become Home to Plants
D. Many Companies Support Plantable Newspapers
D
In today’s digital age, browsing short-form videos on platforms like TikTok and YouTube has become a popular way to pass time. While there are truly engaging videos, there are also plenty of unremarkable ones. However, a recent study reveals that frequently skipping between videos or fast-forwarding within them might not relieve boredom—it could actually make it worse.
Dr. Katy Tam from the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead researcher of this study, explained that boredom has a close connection with attention. “When the level of our engagement with a video doesn’t match what we expect, boredom sets in,” she said. “People who frequently switch videos are seeking more interesting content, but this actually reduces their engagement and increases feelings of boredom.”
The findings align with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Tam and her team conducted seven experiments involving over 1,200 participants in total. The initial two experiments had different results. One showed that people switch more when they find videos boring, and the other indicated that people thought the ability to skip or switch would reduce boredom. But later experiments proved otherwise. For example, undergraduates reported higher boredom levels when they could skip within a video or switch between several short videos compared to watching a single longer video.
“Our research clearly shows that the act of fast-forwarding or skipping videos in an attempt to avoid boredom can backfire,” Dr. Tam said. “Just like in a movie theatre, true enjoyment often comes from full immersion, not constant switching.”
32. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The relationship between video switching and boredom.
B. How to avoid boredom while browsing videos.
C. The popularity of TikTok and YouTube among young people.
D. The importance of immersive experiences in movie theaters.
33. What does the underlined phrase “align with” mean in Paragraph 3
A. contrast with B. compare with C. agree with D. conflict with
34. What did the early experiments by Dr Tam’s team show
A. People switch less when videos are boring.
B. People have different ideas about video-watching.
C. The ability to skip or switch can reduce boredom.
D. Boredom has no relation with video-switching.
35. To relieve boredom while watching videos, Dr. Katy Tam suggest people ________.
A. skip through videos as often as possible
B. fast-forward videos to keep interest
C. avoid watching videos on social media platforms
D. absorb themselves in the video content

How to Teach Your Kids to Enjoy Hiking
Hiking is one of my favorite things to do. Ever since my kids were babies, we’ve been getting out of the house on most weekends to explore. Get exercise and fresh air.
A good, long, family hike gives us a sense of accomplishment. It creates opportunities for conversation. It brings us closer with a shared memories and experiences. 36
But how do we do it I often get this question from friends and strangers. They express surprise at my small children’s ability to walk 10-mile trial or their willingness to climb 2,800-foot mountains. Their children don’t even want to walk to school. 37 So what’s the secret
First of all, eat before you leave and carry food. It’s common for us to have a quick bite before we strike out on a trail. 38 But these are served at official stops, not just handed out freely.
Pack lots of water. There are few things more miserable than hiking while thirsty. I like my kids drink as much as they want because they can always stop to relieve (方便，上厕所) themselves along the way.
39 Kids like knowing where they are in the world. Maps are perfect for helping them to understand that. I always take some time before we leave to show them where we are,where we’re headed, and what the journey will look like. Point out landmarks that they will see. We talk about how long it will take so they don’t ask me. “Are we there yet ”
Remember, it’s not about the speed. It’s about steady progress. The last thing you want is a exhausted child who can barely continue. 40
A. Show them a route map.
B. Eating a lot of food is a fun thing to do.
C. Give them encouragement along the way.
D. Let alone walk for hours in rough conditions.
E. So set a slow, comfortable pace, and have fun.
F. I always pack snacks like nut, fruit, chocolate, and cookies.
G. And it is also a great way to pass time without spending money.

It’s almost a common belief that the best food you can find in a place is not in the fancy restaurants,
56 in the backstreets. These parts are usually away from popular tourist 57 (attract), which means that to find them, you’ll need the spirit of an explorer.
That’s how I came across roujiamo when I was exploring Beijing. I found a restaurant 58 (sell) dishes from Xi’an and decided to give it 59 try.
My roujiamo, made fresh, was still warm. The bread was soft when I 60 (bite) into it, and the meat inside was delicious and tender. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I ended up ordering more to take home, 61 (imagine) how much I’d enjoy sharing it with my family later. Although it’s just a snack, it’s still quite filling and can easily satisfy your appetite.
There are kinds of things you can put inside the “mo”, as the bread is called. For example, in certain areas in Xi’an, the meat 62 (typical) used is beef, but in Gansu Province, lamb is 63 (popular). And the first roujiamo 64 I tried was made with pork. However it’s made, it’s still a tasty snack. And for people 65 me who grew up eating hamburgers, it’s a perfect combination of East and West.

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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct ” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there ” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team,” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.
