第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分42.5分）
第一节（共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Unlike in films, when real life-changing moments happen they’re rarely accompanied by a beautiful sunset or emotional music. Mine came one Friday in the classroom of a secondary school, the kind where the wind rattles（使咯咯作响）the windows and where the smell of new textbooks faded a long time ago.
On that morning, half a dozen teenagers were arriving for their last English lesson of the week. Ten minutes in, one was asleep on his desk, and another was focusing on her mobile phone. These weren抰 the kind of kids who get their photograph in the local paper on results day. For some of them, just turning up on time to their final exams will be considered an achievement.
Yet, in the hour or so that followed, these academic also-rans were encouraged to share their thoughts about Shakespeare抯 works. They talked about betrayal, love and guilt. Their imaginations were fired and their opinions mattered. They also secretly looked at their mobile phones and the one who fell asleep never did wake up, but in this classroom you learn to pick your battles. When the bell went, I had also come to a decision. I decided to quit my job and at the age of 45 retrain as an English teacher.
Retraining requires sacrifices, not least walking away from journalism, the career which has defined half of my life. However, with falling advertising revenues and the demands of a digital-first audience squeezing the industry I love into submission, I knew I needed an escape plan. I found it in that classroom.
Of course I am worried about dealing with trouble-making students. I also will need to manage my own finances. However, there are compensations, the ones you can抰 put a price tag on, like unlocking the world of reading to someone who lives in a house without books.
My mum taught for 40 years and when I come across faces from the past, they still tell me she was their favorite teacher. A lot has changed since she retired, but surely all that was good about the profession can抰 have disappeared, can it?
21. What does the author intend to show by describing the environment of the classroom?
A. Students are usually in high spirits on Friday.
B. The important moments in life are as normal as ever.
C. The life-changing moments are related to the environment.
D. Students classroom performance is affected by the environment.
22. What can we say about those kids mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. They didn抰 do well academically.
B. They took their final exams seriously.
C. They didn抰 have an interest in photography.
D. They were absorbed in their last English class.
23. What inspired the author to quit her job?
A. Her mother抯 encouragement. B. The liveliness in the classroom.
C. Her boredom with being a journalist. D. The financial stability of being a teacher.
24. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Reliable and devoted. B. Honest and responsible.
C. Humorous and sensitive. D. Courageous and caring.
B
The statue of Scottish poet Robert Burns and his dog that spent the last four decades in Winthrop Square has been returned to its original location in the Back Bay Fens. Its return is correcting an injustice, said Matthew Brooks, the vice president of the Fenway Civic Association.
The statue抯 homecoming settled a decade-long kerfuffle. Born in 1759, Burns was a widely celebrated poet and lyricist who penned A Red, Red Rose and other well-known works.
The statue of Burns and his dog, created by Henry H. Kitson, stood as a landmark in the Fens for many years. It was first unveiled in the Fens at a grand ceremony in January 1920. The Boston Globe covered the event and reported that then-Governor Calvin Coolidge helped pull the canvas（帆布）off the new bronze statue, which stood on a grassy slope overlooking the river near the Westland Avenue entrance to the Fens.
Burns, with his dog by his side, stood in that spot for more than 50 years, until one day in the summer of 1975, when they suddenly disappeared. 揙ur neighborhood lost the Burns statue in the 1970s without any public process, Brooks said. 揑t was quite a blow.
At first, some city officials assumed the statue had been stolen. But instead Burns turned up in an unlikely spot in the Financial District, at the corner of Winthrop Square.
In July 1975, Globe correspondent David S. Richwine reported that the statue had been moved at the request of a developer named Ted Raymond. 揥e originally asked for the statue of John Winthrop, Raymond said. When that request was denied, the city抯 art commission offered up Burns instead. But apparently few others knew about this plan. The Parks and Recreation Department Commissioner at the time, Anthony Forgione, told the reporters that the Burns statue 搘as taken without his knowledge and community protests probably force its return.
But that never happened. Years went by, and after a while, people began to think that Burns was John Winthrop. After all, who else would be memorized in Winthrop Square?
It brings us to today. Another developer, Millennium Partners, is building a tower in Winthrop Square, and as part of the deal, an agreement was reached to bring Burns back to his roots on the other side of the city.
25. What does the underlined word 搆erfuffle in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Contract. B. Debt. C. Disturbance. D. Strike.
26. How did the public feel when they lost the Burns statue?
A. Desperate. B. Astonished. C. Guilty. D. Embarrassed.
27. What led to the disappearance of the statue?
A. The large-scale reconstruction of the Fens.
B. A compromise between developers and protests.
C. The Parks and Recreation Department Commissioner抯 order.
D. A confidential（机密的）deal between Raymond and the art commission.
28. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To report an event concerning the Fens.
B. To remember a great Scottish poet.
C. To promote the study on Burns’ works.
D. To introduce a neighborhood loving literature.
C
A robotic arm breaks off a chunk of mineral-rich rock for sampling deep underwater off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
The world抯 oceans are facing a frontier from a fledgling deep-sea mining industry as companies line up to extract（开采）metals and minerals from some of the most important ecosystems on the planet. The industry has said deep-sea mining is essential to extract the materials needed for a transition to a green economy.
A study by Greenpeace revealed that although no mining had started on the ocean floor, 29 exploration licences had been issued by a United Nations body, the International Seabed Authority, have been granted to a handful of countries that sponsor private companies. They cover vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, totaling 1.3m sq km.
If the mining goes ahead, large machines will be lowered on to the seabed to excavate cobalt and other rare metals. It is assumed that, as well as destroying little understood regions of the ocean floor, the operations would deepen the climate emergency by disrupting carbon stores in seafloor sediments（沉积物）, reducing the ocean’s ability to store it.
The environmentalist Chris Packham said, “Are we really prepared to give the go-ahead to the mining industry expanding into a new frontier, where it will be even harder for us to examine the damage caused?
The report called on governments to agree on a strong global ocean treaty in the next 12 months, citing scientists, governments, environmentalists and representatives of the fishing industry, who warned of the threat posed by deep-sea mining to marine life.
The report said the UK government held licences to exploit more of the international seabed than any government. It accused ministers of positioning the government as a leader on marine protection while simultaneously investing in deep-sea mining.
Louisa Casson, an ocean campaigner at Greenpeace, said, 揥e need the UK government to show strong global leadership and champion ocean protection. They have backed the call for global action to safeguard our oceans but they are also a leading advocate for deep-sea mining. Such hypocrisy is unacceptable.
A government spokesperson said: 揟he UK continues to press for the highest international environmental standards, including on deep-sea mineral extraction. We have sponsored two exploration licences, which will allow scientific marine research to fully understand the effects of deep-sea mining and we will not issue a single exploitation licence without a full assessment of the environmental impact.
29. What does the underlined word 揻ledgling in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Low-carbon. B. Early-stage. C. State-run. D. Labor-intensive.
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A. The hard facts about the climate emergency.
B. The complicated procedure for deep-sea mining.
C. The rare metals hidden in the depths of the ocean.
D. The consequences of deep-sea mineral extraction.
31. What does Louisa Casson think of the UK government抯 practice?
A. It抯 a far-sighted. B. It will need more expert guidance.
C. It抯 contradictory. C. It violated the global ocean agreement.
32. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The race to the bottom of the sea
B. The fight against deep-sea pollution
C. A green economy will be booming
D. Papua New Guinea will be an industrial center

Weather forecasts help us prepare for the future. Not only do they warn us of potentially dangerous weather headed our way, but they also give us an idea of what to expect in terms of temperature and chance of precipitation（降雨量）, so we can dress and equip ourselves appropriately.
33 Forecasts are a prediction based on an educated guess. Since there are a wide variety of factors that go into a forecast, it抯 possible for meteorologists to guess wrong from time to time. Fortunately, modern technology has allowed forecasters to become much more accurate over the last decade.
Today, meteorologists use complicated mathematical models to predict the weather with the help of powerful supercomputers and tons of observational data from land, sea, and air weather stations around the world. Where does all this data come from? 34 Many people create their own backyard weather stations to measure temperature and precipitation. They can report their observations to local meteorologists to help improve local forecasts.
Technologically advanced weather stations are established by meteorologists all over the world. 35 Various tools are used to measure air pressure, wind speed, relative humidity, etc.
To get data from the seas and the upper atmosphere, data-collection tools and instruments may be attached to ships, airplanes, and even buoys（浮标）in the middle of the ocean. 36__ They can be used on a global scale to spot weather trends for large areas.
All these tools around the world produce millions of pieces of weather-related observational data every single day. 37 Current data is compared to similar patterns that have occurred in the past to determine what will likely happen in the future.
A. Sometimes it comes from common people like you.
B. However, weather forecasting is not a perfect science.
C. They collect and share data to help improve forecasts.
D. Supercomputers process that data to produce forecasts.
E. Weather balloons and weather satellites also provide observational data.
F. Forecasts about temperature and precipitation are important to agriculture.
G. Data from weather satellite are used in areas where traditional data sources are not available.

“Son, don’t forget it’s your responsibility to take out the garbage,” Dmitri’s father said. Dmitri was busy staring at his new watch, a gift from his grandfather. It was the nicest thing he had ever owned.
揑 will in a minute. Dmitri had given this answer several times already, but his father let it pass. He sat next to his son on the couch. 揟hat was very generous of your grandpa. You抣l have to take good care of it. Dmitri nodded and said, 揑 always take care of my things.
揧ou may think you do, cautioned his father, 揵ut I抳e noticed you抮e careless sometimes. Doing your chores(家庭杂务) without being persuaded is part of taking care of this house and contributing to the family that you care about, and you have got to be more thoughtful about picking things up and following through on your responsibilities. "
The next morning, Dmitri was getting ready for school when he noticed that his watch was not on his nightstand（床头柜）. His pulse quickened, and his hands began to sweat. He threw clothes off the top of his dresser. He knelt on the floor and looked under his bed. He even checked the bathroom, but the watch was nowhere.
Dmitri was quiet during breakfast. he couldn抰 tell his father that he had lost the watch less than twenty-four hours after receiving it because that would only prove that Dmitri might not be capable of taking care of his things.
During every school break, Dmitri tried to think of where he could have left the watch. It wasn抰 in his room, and if it had been anywhere else, wouldn抰 his parents have said something? Was it even worth checking? That抯 it! Dmitri thought. Hadn抰 he spent an hour on the couch reading last night? Maybe it had fallen between the cushions.
Dmitri rushed home after school, torn the cushions off the couch, and searched every inch.
揕ooking for something, son? Dmitri s father stood next to him, arms crossed in front of his chest.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Dmitri sighed and admitted that he’d lost his watch. _________________________________

Dmitri sighed and admitted that he’d lost his watch. “How did that happen?” his father asked. “I don't know. I put it on my nightstand, but when I woke up it was gone.” “Sometimes the best thing you can do is ask for help.” His father went to his bedroom and returned with a garbage bag. 揇ad, Dmitri said, 揑 told you I抎 take out the garbage later. This is more important.
His father emptied the contents of the garbage bag onto the floor. There was a paperback novel, a baseball cap, a sweatshirt, a handheld video game, a soccer ball, and a shiny watch. 揧ou didn抰 leave it on your nightstand, Dmitri. It was on the kitchen table when I got up this morning. In fact, all of these items are things you forgot to put away," his father said seriously. Dmitri hung his head and said, “I guess I need to take better care of my things. And maybe I should take out the garbage when I say I will.” His father finally nodded in approval.

M: Well, the average temperature in Greenland is rising twice as fast as in other places. So, now I have a few trees near my house. Trees didn抰 use to exist in Greenland, you know! And we, um, people are growing some vegetables now cabbage, potatoes, and things like that. And farmers can grow more grass for their animals.

W: Hello, this is Tina. I haven抰 booked my flight to DC yet, but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to best get to you from the airport?
M: Yes, well, if you抮e flying, Reagan National is the closest. You can take the underground right in from there. Dulles is further away and a taxi is probably the easiest. And then Baltimore- Washington Airport connects to a train that you can take right into the main train station in town.
W: OK, cool. I think Reagan should be the best. And do you pretty centrally lie in DC? Like, next to all the sights and everything? My friend asked me to stay in her house, but I don抰 think it would be very convenient.
M: Yep. We抮e in the Dupont Circle area, pretty central to DC. You can walk down to the White House. The underground is right around the corner.
W: Do you include breakfast?
M: Yes, madam, and we also offer dinner if you like.
W: OK. That sounds good. Thank you. I抦 going to think about it and once I抳e got everything booked, I抣l give you a call.
M: OK. Have a good day.

W: I抳e just discovered a fantastic new show called How Do They Do That? The idea is simple. Take a topic like travel, for example and then think of lots of little mysteries that could be explained. How do planes take off and land? That sort of thing. Then get two young, enthusiastic hosts in a lab to do lots of exciting experiments. Add some pictures to explain the process to the audience and that抯 the show. Get the idea?
Each edition looks at a different subject. As well as travel, topics that have already been covered include education, the body, things around the house and magic梞y favorite so far. Still to come are personal finances, the natural world, sports, and life and how to live t. The one I抦 personally looking forward to the most is how to meet the perfect partner. But some of my friends would like to know how to eat chocolate without putting on weight.
What I like most about the show is that it抯 fun and you learn something at the same time, so you don抰 feel so guilty about spending 60 minutes in front of the TV each week. So if you aren抰 already watching How Do They Do That?, I strongly recommend that you make the time. You抣l never think it boring. It抯 on every Tuesday at 9 pm but this week抯 edition won抰 be shown until half an hour later because of the live international soccer game. Get watching and start learning!

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分42.5分）
第一节（共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Unlike in films, when real life-changing moments happen they’re rarely accompanied by a beautiful sunset or emotional music. Mine came one Friday in the classroom of a secondary school, the kind where the wind rattles（使咯咯作响）the windows and where the smell of new textbooks faded a long time ago.
On that morning, half a dozen teenagers were arriving for their last English lesson of the week. Ten minutes in, one was asleep on his desk, and another was focusing on her mobile phone. These weren抰 the kind of kids who get their photograph in the local paper on results day. For some of them, just turning up on time to their final exams will be considered an achievement.
Yet, in the hour or so that followed, these academic also-rans were encouraged to share their thoughts about Shakespeare抯 works. They talked about betrayal, love and guilt. Their imaginations were fired and their opinions mattered. They also secretly looked at their mobile phones and the one who fell asleep never did wake up, but in this classroom you learn to pick your battles. When the bell went, I had also come to a decision. I decided to quit my job and at the age of 45 retrain as an English teacher.
Retraining requires sacrifices, not least walking away from journalism, the career which has defined half of my life. However, with falling advertising revenues and the demands of a digital-first audience squeezing the industry I love into submission, I knew I needed an escape plan. I found it in that classroom.
Of course I am worried about dealing with trouble-making students. I also will need to manage my own finances. However, there are compensations, the ones you can抰 put a price tag on, like unlocking the world of reading to someone who lives in a house without books.
My mum taught for 40 years and when I come across faces from the past, they still tell me she was their favorite teacher. A lot has changed since she retired, but surely all that was good about the profession can抰 have disappeared, can it?
21. What does the author intend to show by describing the environment of the classroom?
A. Students are usually in high spirits on Friday.
B. The important moments in life are as normal as ever.
C. The life-changing moments are related to the environment.
D. Students classroom performance is affected by the environment.
22. What can we say about those kids mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. They didn抰 do well academically.
B. They took their final exams seriously.
C. They didn抰 have an interest in photography.
D. They were absorbed in their last English class.
23. What inspired the author to quit her job?
A. Her mother抯 encouragement. B. The liveliness in the classroom.
C. Her boredom with being a journalist. D. The financial stability of being a teacher.
24. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Reliable and devoted. B. Honest and responsible.
C. Humorous and sensitive. D. Courageous and caring.
B
The statue of Scottish poet Robert Burns and his dog that spent the last four decades in Winthrop Square has been returned to its original location in the Back Bay Fens. Its return is correcting an injustice, said Matthew Brooks, the vice president of the Fenway Civic Association.
The statue抯 homecoming settled a decade-long kerfuffle. Born in 1759, Burns was a widely celebrated poet and lyricist who penned A Red, Red Rose and other well-known works.
The statue of Burns and his dog, created by Henry H. Kitson, stood as a landmark in the Fens for many years. It was first unveiled in the Fens at a grand ceremony in January 1920. The Boston Globe covered the event and reported that then-Governor Calvin Coolidge helped pull the canvas（帆布）off the new bronze statue, which stood on a grassy slope overlooking the river near the Westland Avenue entrance to the Fens.
Burns, with his dog by his side, stood in that spot for more than 50 years, until one day in the summer of 1975, when they suddenly disappeared. 揙ur neighborhood lost the Burns statue in the 1970s without any public process, Brooks said. 揑t was quite a blow.
At first, some city officials assumed the statue had been stolen. But instead Burns turned up in an unlikely spot in the Financial District, at the corner of Winthrop Square.
In July 1975, Globe correspondent David S. Richwine reported that the statue had been moved at the request of a developer named Ted Raymond. 揥e originally asked for the statue of John Winthrop, Raymond said. When that request was denied, the city抯 art commission offered up Burns instead. But apparently few others knew about this plan. The Parks and Recreation Department Commissioner at the time, Anthony Forgione, told the reporters that the Burns statue 搘as taken without his knowledge and community protests probably force its return.
But that never happened. Years went by, and after a while, people began to think that Burns was John Winthrop. After all, who else would be memorized in Winthrop Square?
It brings us to today. Another developer, Millennium Partners, is building a tower in Winthrop Square, and as part of the deal, an agreement was reached to bring Burns back to his roots on the other side of the city.
25. What does the underlined word 搆erfuffle in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Contract. B. Debt. C. Disturbance. D. Strike.
26. How did the public feel when they lost the Burns statue?
A. Desperate. B. Astonished. C. Guilty. D. Embarrassed.
27. What led to the disappearance of the statue?
A. The large-scale reconstruction of the Fens.
B. A compromise between developers and protests.
C. The Parks and Recreation Department Commissioner抯 order.
D. A confidential（机密的）deal between Raymond and the art commission.
28. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To report an event concerning the Fens.
B. To remember a great Scottish poet.
C. To promote the study on Burns’ works.
D. To introduce a neighborhood loving literature.
C
A robotic arm breaks off a chunk of mineral-rich rock for sampling deep underwater off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
The world抯 oceans are facing a frontier from a fledgling deep-sea mining industry as companies line up to extract（开采）metals and minerals from some of the most important ecosystems on the planet. The industry has said deep-sea mining is essential to extract the materials needed for a transition to a green economy.
A study by Greenpeace revealed that although no mining had started on the ocean floor, 29 exploration licences had been issued by a United Nations body, the International Seabed Authority, have been granted to a handful of countries that sponsor private companies. They cover vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, totaling 1.3m sq km.
If the mining goes ahead, large machines will be lowered on to the seabed to excavate cobalt and other rare metals. It is assumed that, as well as destroying little understood regions of the ocean floor, the operations would deepen the climate emergency by disrupting carbon stores in seafloor sediments（沉积物）, reducing the ocean’s ability to store it.
The environmentalist Chris Packham said, “Are we really prepared to give the go-ahead to the mining industry expanding into a new frontier, where it will be even harder for us to examine the damage caused?
The report called on governments to agree on a strong global ocean treaty in the next 12 months, citing scientists, governments, environmentalists and representatives of the fishing industry, who warned of the threat posed by deep-sea mining to marine life.
The report said the UK government held licences to exploit more of the international seabed than any government. It accused ministers of positioning the government as a leader on marine protection while simultaneously investing in deep-sea mining.
Louisa Casson, an ocean campaigner at Greenpeace, said, 揥e need the UK government to show strong global leadership and champion ocean protection. They have backed the call for global action to safeguard our oceans but they are also a leading advocate for deep-sea mining. Such hypocrisy is unacceptable.
A government spokesperson said: 揟he UK continues to press for the highest international environmental standards, including on deep-sea mineral extraction. We have sponsored two exploration licences, which will allow scientific marine research to fully understand the effects of deep-sea mining and we will not issue a single exploitation licence without a full assessment of the environmental impact.
29. What does the underlined word 揻ledgling in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Low-carbon. B. Early-stage. C. State-run. D. Labor-intensive.
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A. The hard facts about the climate emergency.
B. The complicated procedure for deep-sea mining.
C. The rare metals hidden in the depths of the ocean.
D. The consequences of deep-sea mineral extraction.
31. What does Louisa Casson think of the UK government抯 practice?
A. It抯 a far-sighted. B. It will need more expert guidance.
C. It抯 contradictory. C. It violated the global ocean agreement.
32. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The race to the bottom of the sea
B. The fight against deep-sea pollution
C. A green economy will be booming
D. Papua New Guinea will be an industrial center

Weather forecasts help us prepare for the future. Not only do they warn us of potentially dangerous weather headed our way, but they also give us an idea of what to expect in terms of temperature and chance of precipitation（降雨量）, so we can dress and equip ourselves appropriately.
33 Forecasts are a prediction based on an educated guess. Since there are a wide variety of factors that go into a forecast, it抯 possible for meteorologists to guess wrong from time to time. Fortunately, modern technology has allowed forecasters to become much more accurate over the last decade.
Today, meteorologists use complicated mathematical models to predict the weather with the help of powerful supercomputers and tons of observational data from land, sea, and air weather stations around the world. Where does all this data come from? 34 Many people create their own backyard weather stations to measure temperature and precipitation. They can report their observations to local meteorologists to help improve local forecasts.
Technologically advanced weather stations are established by meteorologists all over the world. 35 Various tools are used to measure air pressure, wind speed, relative humidity, etc.
To get data from the seas and the upper atmosphere, data-collection tools and instruments may be attached to ships, airplanes, and even buoys（浮标）in the middle of the ocean. 36__ They can be used on a global scale to spot weather trends for large areas.
All these tools around the world produce millions of pieces of weather-related observational data every single day. 37 Current data is compared to similar patterns that have occurred in the past to determine what will likely happen in the future.
A. Sometimes it comes from common people like you.
B. However, weather forecasting is not a perfect science.
C. They collect and share data to help improve forecasts.
D. Supercomputers process that data to produce forecasts.
E. Weather balloons and weather satellites also provide observational data.
F. Forecasts about temperature and precipitation are important to agriculture.
G. Data from weather satellite are used in areas where traditional data sources are not available.

“Son, don’t forget it’s your responsibility to take out the garbage,” Dmitri’s father said. Dmitri was busy staring at his new watch, a gift from his grandfather. It was the nicest thing he had ever owned.
揑 will in a minute. Dmitri had given this answer several times already, but his father let it pass. He sat next to his son on the couch. 揟hat was very generous of your grandpa. You抣l have to take good care of it. Dmitri nodded and said, 揑 always take care of my things.
揧ou may think you do, cautioned his father, 揵ut I抳e noticed you抮e careless sometimes. Doing your chores(家庭杂务) without being persuaded is part of taking care of this house and contributing to the family that you care about, and you have got to be more thoughtful about picking things up and following through on your responsibilities. "
The next morning, Dmitri was getting ready for school when he noticed that his watch was not on his nightstand（床头柜）. His pulse quickened, and his hands began to sweat. He threw clothes off the top of his dresser. He knelt on the floor and looked under his bed. He even checked the bathroom, but the watch was nowhere.
Dmitri was quiet during breakfast. he couldn抰 tell his father that he had lost the watch less than twenty-four hours after receiving it because that would only prove that Dmitri might not be capable of taking care of his things.
During every school break, Dmitri tried to think of where he could have left the watch. It wasn抰 in his room, and if it had been anywhere else, wouldn抰 his parents have said something? Was it even worth checking? That抯 it! Dmitri thought. Hadn抰 he spent an hour on the couch reading last night? Maybe it had fallen between the cushions.
Dmitri rushed home after school, torn the cushions off the couch, and searched every inch.
揕ooking for something, son? Dmitri s father stood next to him, arms crossed in front of his chest.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Dmitri sighed and admitted that he’d lost his watch. _________________________________

Dmitri sighed and admitted that he’d lost his watch. “How did that happen?” his father asked. “I don't know. I put it on my nightstand, but when I woke up it was gone.” “Sometimes the best thing you can do is ask for help.” His father went to his bedroom and returned with a garbage bag. 揇ad, Dmitri said, 揑 told you I抎 take out the garbage later. This is more important.
His father emptied the contents of the garbage bag onto the floor. There was a paperback novel, a baseball cap, a sweatshirt, a handheld video game, a soccer ball, and a shiny watch. 揧ou didn抰 leave it on your nightstand, Dmitri. It was on the kitchen table when I got up this morning. In fact, all of these items are things you forgot to put away," his father said seriously. Dmitri hung his head and said, “I guess I need to take better care of my things. And maybe I should take out the garbage when I say I will.” His father finally nodded in approval.

W: Are you satisfied with the restaurant?
M: Well, I have to say it抯 not my thing. The food was fine, but the restaurant was too crowded and the waiters kept shouting all the time. I thought they should be working in a quieter and friendlier way.

W: We have to set the budget until Thursday, so maybe you should call him and find out what happened.
M: I think I will. If I don抰 hear from him by four, I抣l try calling his office.

W: So, Eric, how is life in Greenland these days?
M: Oh, you know. Winters are long. I live on the coast, though, so I get to see the ocean every day. That抯 always nice.
W: I heard that winters in Greenland are somewhat shorter than they used to be global warning, I guess?
M: Yes, that抯 true. They抮e calling it 搕he greening of Greenland.
W: The 揋reening? What does that mean?
M: Well, the average temperature in Greenland is rising twice as fast as in other places. So, now I have a few trees near my house. Trees didn抰 use to exist in Greenland, you know! And we, um, people are growing some vegetables now cabbage, potatoes, and things like that. And farmers can grow more grass for their animals.

W: Hello, this is Tina. I haven抰 booked my flight to DC yet, but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to best get to you from the airport?
M: Yes, well, if you抮e flying, Reagan National is the closest. You can take the underground right in from there. Dulles is further away and a taxi is probably the easiest. And then Baltimore- Washington Airport connects to a train that you can take right into the main train station in town.
W: OK, cool. I think Reagan should be the best. And do you pretty centrally lie in DC? Like, next to all the sights and everything? My friend asked me to stay in her house, but I don抰 think it would be very convenient.
M: Yep. We抮e in the Dupont Circle area, pretty central to DC. You can walk down to the White House. The underground is right around the corner.
W: Do you include breakfast?
M: Yes, madam, and we also offer dinner if you like.
W: OK. That sounds good. Thank you. I抦 going to think about it and once I抳e got everything booked, I抣l give you a call.
M: OK. Have a good day.

W: I抳e just discovered a fantastic new show called How Do They Do That? The idea is simple. Take a topic like travel, for example and then think of lots of little mysteries that could be explained. How do planes take off and land? That sort of thing. Then get two young, enthusiastic hosts in a lab to do lots of exciting experiments. Add some pictures to explain the process to the audience and that抯 the show. Get the idea?
Each edition looks at a different subject. As well as travel, topics that have already been covered include education, the body, things around the house and magic梞y favorite so far. Still to come are personal finances, the natural world, sports, and life and how to live t. The one I抦 personally looking forward to the most is how to meet the perfect partner. But some of my friends would like to know how to eat chocolate without putting on weight.
What I like most about the show is that it抯 fun and you learn something at the same time, so you don抰 feel so guilty about spending 60 minutes in front of the TV each week. So if you aren抰 already watching How Do They Do That?, I strongly recommend that you make the time. You抣l never think it boring. It抯 on every Tuesday at 9 pm but this week抯 edition won抰 be shown until half an hour later because of the live international soccer game. Get watching and start learning!
