During the first weeks of his retirement from the fire service, Max had felt lost. And that's when Polly, a library manager, helped him sign up as a 11 , for Robot Club in the library.
Max hadn't volunteered before and he didn't know anything about 12 . He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts. A dozen primary-age children gathered around the table,
13 eagerly. Almost double the number of adults crowded around them, watching.
Glancing around the 14 at the many parents and carers accompanying the robot builders, Max knew he had to face this 15 .
“Okay, team,” he started 16 , adopting the tone he'd used to 17 his unit during his firefighting days. “We're going to build these robots one step 18 . ”
The children nodded, their hands busy with screws (螺丝) and plastic limbs. Max wandered from table to table, 19 words of encouragement, and slowly but surely,
20 the instructions in his mind.
An hour passed, and the room was filled with the sound of chatter and clinking parts. As the final minutes of Robot Club ticked away, Max stood back and 21 the room. Robots of all shapes and sizes stood on the tables. The children were excited, 22 their creations to anyone who would look.
As they began to leave, many children stopped to thank Max. Each "thank you" and "see you next week" chipped away at the sense of 23 he had felt since retiring. He hadn't put out a fire today, but perhaps he had

答案以及解析
1. 答案：fetch
解析：词性：v.（及物动词）。句意：他告诉我他要去取工具，让我待在原地。不定式符号 to 后接动词原形；fetch 表 “去拿来（往返动作）”，贴合 “离开原地去取东西再回来” 的语境，区别于 take（拿走，单向）、bring（带来，单向），是本单元动作描述高频词。
2. 答案：exploded
解析：词性：v.（不及物动词）。句意：昨天镇广场附近的一家酒店外发生炸弹爆炸，造成至少十人受伤。根据时间状语yesterday（昨天），句子用一般过去时；explode 表 “爆炸”，过去式为 exploded，符合 “炸弹爆炸” 的动作语境，且该词为科幻 / 灾难场景高频词。
3. 答案：leather
解析：词性：n.（不可数名词 / 形容词，此处作形容词）。句意：挑选靴子时，一双优质的皮质靴子会是明智的投资。此处 leather 修饰名词 ones（代指 boots），作形容词表 “皮革制的”；leather 也可作不可数名词，表 “皮革”，无复数形式，贴合 “服饰材质” 描述语境。
4. 答案：hazy
解析：词性：adj.（形容词）。句意：我对那件事有点模糊不清。系动词 am 后接形容词作表语；be hazy about sth. 为固定搭配，表 “对某事模糊不清；不清楚某事”，是本单元表达认知状态的高频短语。
5. 答案：mud
解析：词性：n.（不可数名词）。句意：骆驼的脚非常适应干燥的沙地，在泥里却毫无用处。介词 in 后接名词；mud 表 “泥；泥浆”，为不可数名词，无复数形式，与前文 dry sand（干燥沙地）形成对比，贴合语境。
6. 答案：or so
解析：句意：大约一小时后，我才发现我的枪不见了。or so 表 “大约；左右”，用于数量 / 时间词后，是本单元表达模糊数量的高频短语，区别于 about（about 用于数量 / 时间词前）。
7. 答案：turn out
解析：句意：结果肯定会和他们的愿望截然相反。情态动词 will 后接动词原形；turn out to be 为固定搭配，表 “结果是；证明是”，是本单元表达结果的核心短语，贴合 “结果与预期相反” 的语境。
8. 答案：went hazy
解析：句意：所有的路灯在雾中都变得模糊不清了。根据语境判断为一般过去时，描述过去发生的状态变化；go hazy 表 “变得模糊不清”，go 后接形容词表 “状态的变化”，贴合 “雾中路灯看不清” 的场景。
9. 答案：fall away
解析：句意：如果你吃了这种药，你所有的病痛都会消失。情态动词 will 后接动词原形；fall away 表 “消失；消散”，贴合 “吃药后病痛消失” 的逻辑，是描述感受 / 状态消失的高频短语。
10. 答案：draw a breath
解析：句意：只要我们还有一口气在，就会战斗到底，赢得最终的胜利。情态动词 can 后接动词原形；draw a breath 表 “吸一口气；喘口气”，此处引申为 “还有一口气；活着”，贴合 “坚持战斗” 的语境，是本单元动作表达的拓展用法。

26. 答案：
Dear Bob,
Knowing from your letter that you are interested in robots, I am writing to share my wonderful experience with you.
What attracts me most is a companion robot that is exactly like a human being. It can walk and talk just like a person does. The companion robot is supposed to be a friend for people who live alone, and it could provide people with a lot of comfort and enrich their lives. In addition, the robot could help monitor the health condition of people. Personally, I do see the companion robot as a solution to people's problems.
I wish I could visit the robot exhibition with you next time.
Yours,
Li Hua
