Parents everywhere are praising one Florida mom after she showed her daughter true love earlier this month in a lesson about being grateful. Haley Hassel was shopping for back-to-school supplies. She wanted to surprise her daughter Presleigh with a pencil case, which she knew her daughter would be happy about. Hassel was surprised, however, when her little girl threw the case in the garbage and stormed into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her.
“She yelled, ‘That’s stupid. Everyone in my class has that...I don’t want it anymore!’” Hassel explained in a Facebook post. Hassel said she didn’t immediately react because she wanted to deal with the anger properly.
“So by the time there was probably smoke coming out of my ears, I was trying really hard not to completely lose it with this kid whom I have worked so hard to completely take care of on my own,” she wrote. “I thought I had always taught her to be grateful and know how lucky she was, but she needed a small wake up call!”
Hassel grabbed a plastic sandwich bag, wrote Presleigh’s name on it and handed it to her.
“I told her to get the pencil case out of the trash and that we would give it to one whose mommy and daddy don’t have money for any school supplies or someone who may not even have a mommy or daddy.”
She continued, “I explained to her she’s not entitled to (享有) anything special and she is taking for granted how lucky she is. So for now she will be using a bag and will personally be delivering the nice box to a child that could benefit from it.”
24. What did Hassel’s daughter do after she received the pencil case
A. Put it into her bag happily. B. Threw the case in the garbage.
C. Sent Hassel a gift in return. D. Hugged and kissed Hassel.

So for now she will be using a bag and will personally be delivering the nice box to a child that could benefit from it.”(她继续说道：“我向她解释说，她没有权利享有任何特别的东西，也不应该认为自己的幸运是理所当然的。所以现在她需要用一个袋子，并亲自把这个漂亮的盒子送给可能从中受益的孩子。”)”可知，她觉得应该给孩子敲敲警钟，提提醒，让孩子要懂得感恩。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““So by the time there was probably smoke coming out of my ears, I was trying really hard not to completely lose it with this kid whom I have worked so hard to completely take care of on my own,” she wrote.(她写道：“所以当我火冒三丈的时候，我非常努力地不让自己完全失去对这个孩子的感情，我这么努力地要自己完全照顾这个孩子。”)”可推断她很有耐心；再根据第二段“Hassel said she didn’t immediately react because she wanted to deal with the anger properly.

Instagram has launched (发布) a machine learning technology to its app that better identifies self-harm and suicide (自杀) content in the UK after tragic death of a 14-year-old schoolgirl Molly Russell, who viewed Instagram content connected to anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide before ending her own life in November 2017.
Molly’s family later found she had been viewing content on social media, particularly pictures on Instagram, linked to anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide, which her father, Ian Russell, believed to “help to kill her.” Ian has demanded that web companies should take more responsibility for filtering (过滤) harmful content from the Internet, which may possibly contribute to more young people’s deaths.
Concerns have been raised about self-harm and suicide content online, especially how platforms deal with such content and its impact on certain users, young people in particular. Social media platforms are now increasingly being pressured to develop technology to help remove harmful content as quickly as possible, rather than waiting for users to report it.
Now, the new tool from Instagram automatically searches for suicide-related images and words on the platform. It then makes the content less visible (可见的) in the app or, in some cases, removes it completely after 24 hours if the machine learning decides it breaks the app’s safety rules.
Instagram boss Adam Mosseri said, “Our technology finds posts that may include suicide or self-harm content and sends them to human reviewers to make the final decision and take the right action.” Between April and June this year, around 90 percent of such kind of harmful content on Instagram was found by its own technology before any real user reported it to the platform. “But our goal is to get that number as close as we possibly can to 100 percent,” Mosseri added. “And I hope this could in some way help avoid tragic deaths like Molly Russell’s.”
28. What does Molly’s father mean by saying “help to kill her”
A. Someone on Instagram helped her to kill herself.
B. She was suffering from cyberbully on Instagram.
C. Content on Instagram had negative effects on her.
D. She didn’t get any help from social media.
29. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs
A. Social media platforms are all taking action to remove harmful content from the Internet.
B. Users can report harmful content online to the platform if they see any.
C. All images and words that the new technology finds will be completely removed.
D Instagram has already achieved their goal to find 100 percent of harmful content in its app.
30. What is Adam Mosseri’s attitude towards the development of their new technology
A. Negative. B. Positive.
C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A new technology brought out by Instagram after a teenager’s death
B. A schoolgirl’s tragic death after viewing harmful content online
C. Ways to prevent young people from self-harm and suicide
D. How to deal with depression, self-harm and suicide content online
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了在一位女孩惨死后，Instagram 发布了可以识别其应用程序上的自残和自杀内容的一项技术。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词下文“Ian has demanded that web companies should take more responsibility for filtering (过滤) harmful content from the Internet, which may possibly contribute to more young people’s deaths.(伊恩要求网络公司在过滤互联网有害内容方面承担更多责任，这可能导致更多年轻人死亡)”可以推知，伊恩说“help to kill her”的意思是他认为网络公司Instagram发布在网上的内容对他女儿产生了消极的影响。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Between April and June this year, around 90 percent of such kind of harmful content on Instagram was found by its own technology before any real user reported it to the platform. (今年4月至6月期间，Instagram 上大约90% 的有害内容是由自己的技术发现的，之后才有真正的用户向该平台报告)”可推知，如果用户发现Instagram网络上存在有害内容，可以向该平台报告。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Between April and June this year, around 90 percent of such kind of harmful content on Instagram was found by its own technology before any real user reported it to the platform. “But our goal is to get that number as close as we possibly can to 100 percent,” Mosseri added.(今年4月至6月期间，Instagram 上大约90% 的有害内容是由自己的技术发现的，之后才有真正的用户向该平台报告。“但我们的目标是尽可能接近100%，” Mosseri 补充说)”可推知，Mosseri对于他们公司的这项技术的使用是极其乐观的。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Instagram has launched (发布) a machine learning technology to its app that better identifies self-harm and suicide (自杀) content in the UK after tragic death of a 14-year-old schoolgirl Molly Russell(在英国14岁女学生莫莉拉塞尔惨死后，Instagram在其应用程序中推出了一项机器学习技术，这个技术可以更好地识别自残和自杀内容)”可知，本文主要介绍了一位女孩惨死后，Instagram 发布了可以识别其应用程序上的自残和自杀内容的一项技术。故选A。
D
It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
32. What did the new research find
A. Running fast benefits all of us.
B. Running is the best exercise.
C. A short time run can be beneficial.
D. A healthy mind encourages us to run.
33. How did the researchers get the result
A. By using different drugs on participants.
B. By interviewing some sportsmen.
C. By collecting information on the Internet.
D. By doing experiments and comparisons.
34. Which is related to our happiness
A. Cycling. B. Medicine. C. Blood flow. D. Colors.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. We should go for a run in winter.
B. Running really benefits us mentally.
C. We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D. Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现即使短时间的跑步也有益于人们的身心健康。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but also could actually improve brain health, too. (但新的研究发现，即使是超快跑也会对健康有很大的好处。事实上，10分钟的训练似乎不仅能让我们感觉更好，而且还能改善大脑健康)”可知，短时间的跑步是有益的。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction times in brain processing. (日本筑波大学的研究人员要求参与者在跑步机上跑10分钟。然后，他们必须接受Stroop颜色和文字测试，这是用来测量大脑处理过程中的反应时间)”可知，研究人员是通过做实验和对比受试者反应的时间来获得实验结果的。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). (换句话说，跑步者被发现大脑中与处理功能和控制情绪相关的部分血液流量增加)”推知，血液流量和我们的快乐有关。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but also could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways. (但新的研究发现，即使是超快跑也会对健康有很大的好处。事实上，10分钟的训练似乎不仅能让我们感觉更好，而且还能改善大脑健康。现在，我们都知道锻炼可以在许多方面改善身心健康)”可知，本文主要介绍了跑步对我们的身心都有好处。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people find it hard to say no, even when they are over-stressed, over-booked and just too busy to take on anything else. ____36____ . But it’s important to learn how to say no to people and their requests. Being unable can contribute to more stress, which may eventually turn to resentment (怨恨).
____37____ . This article discusses some strategies you can use to set boundaries, protect your personal time and say no more often.
I’m sorry – I can’t do this right now
Sometimes, it helps to wait and think about whether you can take on a commitment. It’s usually best not to rush into things. ____38____ . Most reasonable people will accept this as an answer, so if someone keeps pressuring you, they’re being rude.
Let me think about it
If you’re uncomfortable being firm or are dealing with pushy people, it’s OK to say, “Let me think about it and get back to you.” ____39____ .
This strategy also allows you to think about whether you want to say “yes” to another commitment. To decide, do a cost-benefit analysis and then get back to them with a yes or no.
____40____
If you would really like to do what they’re requesting, but don’t have the time, it’s fine to say no to all or part of the request but mention a lesser commitment that you can make. This way you’ll still be partially involved, but it will be on your own terms.
A. I can’t do this, but I can do that
B. If you struggle with this, then you’re not alone
C. I wish I could, but I have a lot going on right now
D. This gives you a chance to review your schedule and consider your options
E. Luckily, you can learn how to say no to people without causing hurt feelings
F. If pressured, reply that it doesn’t fit into your schedule and change the subject
G. You have every right to ensure you have time for the things that are important to you
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。学会拒绝别人和他们的要求是很重要的，本文就此提出一些方法。
【36题详解】
上文“Many people find it hard to say no, even when they are over-stressed, over-booked and just too busy to take on anything else.(许多人发现很难说不，即使是在压力过大、超额安排、太忙而没有时间做其他事情的时候。)”提出许多人很难说“不”，空处应该承接上文，指出如果你也很难说“不”，这是正常的，B项“If you struggle with this, then you’re not alone(如果你为此挣扎，那么你并不孤单)”符合上下文连贯，且句中“this”代指上文提到的内容，故选B。
【37题详解】
上文“But it’s important to learn how to say no to people and their requests. Being unable can contribute to more stress, which may eventually turn to resentment (但是学会拒绝别人和他们的要求是很重要的。不会说“不”会导致更多的压力，最终可能变成怨恨)”指出学会拒绝别人很重要，如果不会拒绝别人会导致别人怨恨你，下文“This article discusses some strategies you can use to set boundaries, protect your personal time and say no more often.(这篇文章讨论了一些策略，你可以用来设定界限，保护你的个人时间，并更经常地对别人说“不”。)”指出有一些策略能帮助你学会拒绝别人，空处应用承上启下，学会拒绝别人很重要，所以你要学习一些策略，下文就此提出一些策略，E项“Luckily, you can learn how to say no to people without causing hurt feelings(幸运的是，你可以学会如何在不伤害别人感情的情况下拒绝别人)”符合上下文连贯，故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“Sometimes, it helps to wait and think about whether you can take on a commitment. It’s usually best not to rush into things. (有时候，等待和思考一下你是否能够承担责任是有帮助的。通常最好不要急于求成)”指出在别人提出要求后，你要先思考一下自己是否能承担责任，不要急于求成，下文“Most reasonable people will accept this as an answer, so if someone keeps pressuring you, they’re being rude.(大多数通情达理的人都会接受这个答案，所以如果有人一直向你施压，他们就是粗鲁的。)”指出通情达理的人们会接受这个答案，由此可知，空处应该指出这个答案具体是什么，即如何不急于求成地回答别人，C项“I wish I could, but I have a lot going on right now(我希望我可以，但我现在有很多事要做)”符合上下文连贯，故选C。
【39题详解】
上文“If you’re uncomfortable being firm or are dealing with pushy people, it’s OK to say, “Let me think about it and get back to you.” ( 如果你不喜欢强硬的态度，或者和咄咄逼人的人打交道，你可以说：“让我考虑一下，回头再联系你。”)”指出你如果对坚定立场感到不舒服，或者正在和咄咄逼人的人打交道，你可以回答“让我考虑一下，然后再给你答复”，空处应该承接上文，指出这样回答的好处，D项“This gives you a chance to review your schedule and consider your options(这样你就有机会回顾你的日程安排并考虑你的选择)”符合上下文连贯，故选D。
【40题详解】
此处是本段小标题。由下文“If you would really like to do what they’re requesting, but don’t have the time, it’s fine to say no to all or part of the request but mention a lesser commitment that you can make.(如果你真的想做他们要求的事情，但是没有时间，对所有或者部分要求说“不”是没有关系的，但是要提到一个你可以做出的较小的承诺。)”可知，本段主要讲了如果你不能做到别人要求的某一件事时，你可以承诺做另外一件事，A项“I can’t do this, but I can do that(我做不到这件事，但我能做到那件事)”能概括出本段内容，故选A。

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。
Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer. She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations. It had to be a lot better than looking out of a window. Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing. But they wouldn’t be going to the beach together this summer because Allison had moved to a different city far away from Sadie’s.
Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.
After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.
“I don’t want to do those things by myself. I want to play with a friend.” “Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try ”
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

Paragraph 2
As she rode back home, Sadie ran toward her mom excitedly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room. Considering for a while, she took the story she started last month from her desk drawer and began to write. Some scenes she took down were so interesting that she laughed out loud. When she stopped and looked at the clock, she found she had been writing for 30 minutes. Sadie decided to go outside for a breath of fresh air. With her mom's permission, she got on her bike and rode slowly down the sidewalk. It felt great! Much to her surprise, scenery along the path was breathtaking, which used to escape her notice when she hung out with friends.
As she rode back home, Sadie ran toward her mom excitedly. “Did you find someone to play with outside ” Mom asked. “No, I took your advice. I rode my bike by myself.” Wendy called back while you were outside, asking you to go swimming tonight. You will have a happy evening,” Sadie's mom said. “Well, I think I will finish my story instead. I can go swimming with her another day,” Sadie said with a wink. “And it's indeed very different and surprising to do things alone.”

Parents everywhere are praising one Florida mom after she showed her daughter true love earlier this month in a lesson about being grateful. Haley Hassel was shopping for back-to-school supplies. She wanted to surprise her daughter Presleigh with a pencil case, which she knew her daughter would be happy about. Hassel was surprised, however, when her little girl threw the case in the garbage and stormed into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her.
“She yelled, ‘That’s stupid. Everyone in my class has that...I don’t want it anymore!’” Hassel explained in a Facebook post. Hassel said she didn’t immediately react because she wanted to deal with the anger properly.
“So by the time there was probably smoke coming out of my ears, I was trying really hard not to completely lose it with this kid whom I have worked so hard to completely take care of on my own,” she wrote. “I thought I had always taught her to be grateful and know how lucky she was, but she needed a small wake up call!”
Hassel grabbed a plastic sandwich bag, wrote Presleigh’s name on it and handed it to her.
“I told her to get the pencil case out of the trash and that we would give it to one whose mommy and daddy don’t have money for any school supplies or someone who may not even have a mommy or daddy.”
She continued, “I explained to her she’s not entitled to (享有) anything special and she is taking for granted how lucky she is. So for now she will be using a bag and will personally be delivering the nice box to a child that could benefit from it.”
24. What did Hassel’s daughter do after she received the pencil case
A. Put it into her bag happily. B. Threw the case in the garbage.
C Sent Hassel a gift in return. D. Hugged and kissed Hassel.
25. What can we infer from the Hassel’s explanations in a Facebook post
A. Presleigh was a stupid.
B. Presleigh hoped for something special.
C. Presleigh hated her mother so much.
D. Presleigh refused to accept any gift that her mother bought her.
26. What does the underlined sentence “but she needed a small wake up cal!” mean
A But she needed to buy her something special.
B. But she needed to call her daughter to wake up everyday.
C. But she needed a timely remind for her daughter to be grateful.
D. But she needed to buy her an alarm clock to wake her up everyday.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Hassel
A. Patient and calm. B. Out-going and active.

Instagram has launched (发布) a machine learning technology to its app that better identifies self-harm and suicide (自杀) content in the UK after tragic death of a 14-year-old schoolgirl Molly Russell, who viewed Instagram content connected to anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide before ending her own life in November 2017.
Molly’s family later found she had been viewing content on social media, particularly pictures on Instagram, linked to anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide, which her father, Ian Russell, believed to “help to kill her.” Ian has demanded that web companies should take more responsibility for filtering (过滤) harmful content from the Internet, which may possibly contribute to more young people’s deaths.
Concerns have been raised about self-harm and suicide content online, especially how platforms deal with such content and its impact on certain users, young people in particular. Social media platforms are now increasingly being pressured to develop technology to help remove harmful content as quickly as possible, rather than waiting for users to report it.
Now, the new tool from Instagram automatically searches for suicide-related images and words on the platform. It then makes the content less visible (可见的) in the app or, in some cases, removes it completely after 24 hours if the machine learning decides it breaks the app’s safety rules.
Instagram boss Adam Mosseri said, “Our technology finds posts that may include suicide or self-harm content and sends them to human reviewers to make the final decision and take the right action.” Between April and June this year, around 90 percent of such kind of harmful content on Instagram was found by its own technology before any real user reported it to the platform. “But our goal is to get that number as close as we possibly can to 100 percent,” Mosseri added. “And I hope this could in some way help avoid tragic deaths like Molly Russell’s.”

A. Someone on Instagram helped her to kill herself.
B. She was suffering from cyberbully on Instagram.
C. Content on Instagram had negative effects on her.
D. She didn’t get any help from social media.
29. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs
A. Social media platforms are all taking action to remove harmful content from the Internet.
B. Users can report harmful content online to the platform if they see any.
C. All images and words that the new technology finds will be completely removed.
D. Instagram has already achieved their goal to find 100 percent of harmful content in its app.
30. What is Adam Mosseri’s attitude towards the development of their new technology
A. Negative. B. Positive.
C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A new technology brought out by Instagram after a teenager’s death

It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
32. What did the new research find
A. Running fast benefits all of us.
B. Running is the best exercise.
C. A short time run can be beneficial.
D. A healthy mind encourages us to run.
33. How did the researchers get the result
A. By using different drugs on participants.
B. By interviewing some sportsmen.
C. By collecting information on the Internet.
D. By doing experiments and comparisons.
34. Which is related to our happiness
A. Cycling. B. Medicine. C. Blood flow. D. Colors.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. We should go for a run in winter.
B. Running really benefits us mentally.
C. We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D. Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.

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。
Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer. She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations. It had to be a lot better than looking out of a window. Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing. But they wouldn’t be going to the beach together this summer because Allison had moved to a different city far away from Sadie’s.
Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.
After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.
“I don’t want to do those things by myself. I want to play with a friend.” “Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try ”
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
Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
As she rode back home, Sadie ran toward her mom excitedly.
