It was my first year of teaching. I was young and inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.
After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe, I had one of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own.
That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in — the cool basketball-playing country boy who had accidentally broken my favorite snow globe so that I couldn't display nice things in my classroom. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He'd stuck a bird feather in it.
''I got you a Mother's Day gift,'' he said in a low voice. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.
Made nervous by my silence, he said, ''You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.''
I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the entire world, and that I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. What made that twelve-year-old bring me a homemade present I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. That moment helped me get through the rest of the school years.
4. What did the author think of her job as a teacher at the beginning
A. Interesting. B. Tiring.
C. Rewarding. D. Demanding.
5. How did the boy feel when he gave his teacher the present
A. Excited. B. Shocked.
C. Unwilling. D. Shy.
6. How did the author react when she was given the flower
A. She was moved to tears.
B. She didn't accept the present.
C. She was too surprised to say anything.
D. She stared at the boy in puzzlement.
7. Which of the following encourages the author to continue teaching
A. The sincere love from students.
B. Her positive attitude to life.
C. Her strong interest in teaching.
D. The achievements in her work.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述作者教书的第一年,年轻又缺乏经验,很疲惫。有一个孩子送了她母亲节礼物,支撑她继续教下去。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe, (在一个特别漫长的改卷之夜,我想着,还有几个星期我才能呼吸。)可推测,作者在刚开始当老师时,感觉很疲惫。B. Tiring.(劳累的)符合以上推测,故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的''I got you a Mother's Day gift,'' he said in a low voice.(他用很低的声音说:“我给你带了母亲节的礼物。”)和第五段的Made nervous by my silence,he said, ''You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.''(他被我的沉默弄得很紧张,说:“你知道……既然你对我们来说像个母亲,我想你也应该得到一份礼物。”)可知,孩子说话声音很小,而且结结巴巴。由此推测,孩子在送礼物时很害羞。D. Shy.(害羞的)符合以上推测,故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.(大多数初高中老师不会收到礼物。圣诞节和教师节已经过了,礼物也就没有了。我感到非常震惊,只是看着。)和第五段的Made nervous by my silence(他被我的沉默弄得很紧张)可知,作者因为收到礼物特别意外,以至于说不出任何话来。C. She was too surprised to say anything.(她太意外,以至于什么也没说)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据五段的Made nervous by my silence, he said, ''You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.''(他被我的沉默弄得很紧张,说:“你知道……既然你对我们来说像个母亲,我想你也应该得到一份礼物。”)和最后一段的That moment helped me get through the rest of the school years.(那一刻帮我度过了余下的教书岁月。)可推测,是学生对作者的爱,让她度过了余下的教书岁月。A. The sincere love from students.(来自学生的真挚的爱)符合以上说法,故选A项。
C
Typically, a person sitting in the driver's seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle(把手) and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle(阻碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic. Luckily, there's a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch(门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body and look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.
''It's just what Dutch people do,'' said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. ''All the Dutch are taught it. It's part of regular driver education.''
The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn't really become known as the Dutch reach until American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year-old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Charney's efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals(手册).
8. What is the first paragraph intended to show
A. The poor design of the car door and handle.
B. A common conflict between cars and bicycles.
C. A main cause of traffic accidents related to cyclists.
D. Possible risks connected with opening the car door.
9. What does the underlined word ''instinctual'' in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Difficult B. Possible
C. Natural D. Dangerous
10. How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents
A. By making the person open the car door more easily.
B. By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.
C. By reminding the person of the traffic lights frequently.
D. By helping the person see the side view mirror more clearly.
11. What made Charney introduce the Dutch reach into America
A. Its popularity among Dutch people.
B. Its appearance in drivers’ manuals.
C. A project started in the year 2016.
D. The death caused by a traffic accident.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了"Dutch reach"不是一个新的舞蹈动作,也不是一个随机的YouTube挑战。这是一个简单的动作,可以帮助防止对骑自行车的人造成伤害。在这个过程中,你也可以保证车门的安全。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle. (但如果你碰巧在错误的时间这样做,你可能会在不知情的情况下给经过的骑车人制造障碍,然后骑车人会从自行车上摔下来,车门很可能会被快速行驶的自行车损坏。)可知,本段主要说明了错误的开车门会导致事故。D. Possible risks connected with opening the car door.(与开车门相关的潜在危险)符合以上说法,故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题.根据划线词所在句子The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic.可知,车门的设计和长期的习惯使得这个过程是instinctual,但很明显,解决方法是让下车的人检查交通状况。根据句意,尤其是long-time habits 可推测划线部分的意思是“本能的”。C. Natural(自然而然的)符合以上猜测,故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic.(车门的设计和长期的使用习惯使得这个过程是本能的,但很明显,解决办法是让下车的人检查交通)可知,荷兰人为了减少交通事故,需要强迫要下车的人检查接近的车辆。B. By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.(通过强迫人们去检查来临的车辆)符合以上说法,故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year-old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.(据《泰晤士报》报道,他的动机来自于一名27岁男子的死亡,他骑上一扇敞开的车门,在离马萨诸塞州剑桥市家只有5个街区的地方去世。)可知,交通事故造成的死亡使查尼把荷式开门法引入美国。D. The death caused by a traffic accident.(一场交通事故造成的死亡)符合以上说法,故选D项。
D
Dog owners walked about 23minues longer each day than non-dog owners In a new study, dog owners took 2,760 additional seps—compared to people who didn’t have a dog at home. Bu here’s the real good news: That extra exercise was done at a moderate(适度的)pace, which means it could help adults meet their recommended weekly totals for physical activity.
The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. The study included 43 dog owners and 43 non-dog owners, all of whom were monitored continuously for three week-long periods. When they compared the two groups, the researchers found that dog ownership was associated with a large, potentially health-improving effect.
Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners, 119 minutes versus 96 minutes on average. They also took an additional 2,760 steps, and had eight fewer continuous periods of sitting down. Most of that extra walking was done at moderate pace, defined as 100 or more steps a minute. Dog owners walked at this pace for 32 minutes a day, versus just 11 minutes a day for non-dog owners.
The World Health Organization(WHO)recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week. This increased walking time alone could just about satisfy that requirement, say the researchers—so it makes total sense that 87 percent of dog owners in the study met these guidelines, versus just 47 percent of non-dog owners.
Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or maintain their current activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved or maintained cognition(认知), and perhaps, even overall longevity(寿命),”she said.
Here at Health, we’ ll add that caring for pets has been shown to have plenty of other physical and mental health benefits, as well. As animal lovers ourselves, we’ re happy to add one more to the list.
12. What can we learn about the research?
A. It was targeted on old people.
B. It was sponsored by the WHO.
C. It had an undesirable effect on dog owners.
D. It took the mental health of dog owners into consideration.
13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. To present the results of the research.
B. To show the guidelines of the research.
C. To describe the process of doing the research.
D. To explain the reasons for conducting the research.
14. What does Nancy Gee think of owning a dog
A. It is too expensive.
B. It is time-consuming.
C. It enables older adults to live a healthy life.
D. It helps young adults to keep a healthy routine.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Non-pet owners enjoy more pleasure
B. Animal lovers are more generous
C. Young people walk less today
D. Dog owners walk way more
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一个对比研究,得出有狗的人要比没有狗的老年人得到更多锻炼,进而提出老年人养宠物有助于他们的健康生活。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. ”可知,这项研究主要研究65岁及以上的人群。因为这些人要比年轻人的活动量少。所以研究主要是针对老年人的。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第二段提到这次研究对43位有狗的人和43位没有狗的人进行比较。第三段用一些具体数字具体说明了比较结果。即前者比后者每天多走23分钟。有狗的人多走2,760步,比后者少坐8次。多走的这些步数步伐适中,一分钟100或100多步。有狗的人以这种速度每天走32分钟,没狗的人只走11分钟。所以作者主要用数据对比,告诉我们研究的结果。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or maintain their current activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved or maintained cognition(认知), and perhaps, even overall longevity(寿命),”she said.”可知,Nancy Gee认为养宠物对于老年人来讲可以使他们获得更多锻炼,让他们长时间保持锻炼的状态。也可以提高他们的生活质量,改善认知,甚至可延长他们的寿命。老年人可以有一个更加健康的生活。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段Dog owners walked about 23minues longer each day than non-dog owners (养狗的人比不养狗的人每天多走23分钟)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章通过一个对比研究,得出有狗的人要比没有狗的老年人得到更多锻炼,进而提出老年人养宠物有助于他们的健康生活。只有D项“养狗的人多走路”符合文意。故选D项。

40. the 41. busiest

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国农历二十四节气之一的惊蛰,它标志着春耕的开始,是农民最忙的时候之一。惊蛰的另一个传统是吃梨,作者对各种各样的梨的制作方法也进行了介绍。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:惊蛰是中国农历二十四节气之一,二十四节气在古代中国被用来记录农业周期。此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词24 solar terms,且先行词在从句中作主语,指物,应用关系代词which,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构,可知keep在句中应用非谓语动词形式,根据短语be used to do sth.,表示“被用来做某事”,后跟不定式。故填to keep。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:三月初出现了一些不寻常的天气,气温上升,暴雨伴随雷暴而来。结合句意表示“伴随……发生”短语为come with。故填with。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们将从地球上升起,许多其他动物也将在今年首次亮相。上文their为形容词性物主代词,修饰名词,该空作句子的宾语,应填appear的名词形式appearance。故填appearance。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国农民非常重视惊蛰,因为它标志着春耕的开始,是农民最忙的时候之一。句中start为名词,此处表示特指“春耕的开始”,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查最高级。句意同上。结合句意表示“最忙的”,应用形容词最高级busiest。故填busiest。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。disease为可数名词,前文没有冠词,故应用复数形式。故填diseases。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:春天被认为是一年中农业最宝贵的时间。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语为spring,谓语动词应用单数。故填is considered。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构,可知give在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语farmers构成主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语。故填giving。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。根据上文It is thought to be,可知本空应填形容词healthy作表语,表示“健康的”。故填healthy。

Recently, I’ve noticed that many of my classmates have some bad habits.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, I hope everyone can pay more attention to health and develop better habits.
【答案】Recently, I’ve noticed that many of my classmates have some bad habits. Some of them often eat junk food to save time, which obviously could do harm to their stomachs. And what’s more, junk food can’t provide enough nutrition for their body. Some of them stay in the classroom for too long and are unwilling to spend time on physical exercise. As is known to us all, lack of exercise could weaken our body.

47. 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。
One morning my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast——until we heard barking and scratching at the door. When my mom opened the door, we saw a puppy(小狗). We looked around to see if we saw its owner, but there was no one. We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy, we decided to look for the owner. We looked all day, but we failed. We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day. We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So, the next day my family and I looked for the dog's owner. It was so hard looking for its owner. We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy, but no luck. We wouldn't have quit because it's a puppy.
“We won't stop looking,” my mom and dad said. We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning, we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food. After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought. After we fed the puppy, we gave it a nice bath. It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky, but after we gave it a bath, it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar (狗项圈)on him, which said “Coby”. After we gave him a bath, we went to look for the p uppy's owner, but my mom stayed at home, and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers. “We looked at it.”it said.
“Lost Dog: Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby. We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There was a phone number on the flyer.

We found the lady’s house, and then we knocked on the door.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
There was a phone number on the flyer. My dad called it and someone answered; it was a lady. My dad asked whether she was the one who put out the flyers. She said “Yes!” with excitement and told us Coby, who was very dear to her, had been gone days before. Then we told her that we had her puppy and we would take him to her. She told us her address at once; then we went to it.
We found the lady’s house, and then we knocked on the door. A lady opened the door, and when she saw the puppy, she screamed with joy. We handed her the puppy, feeling proud. She wanted to give us a reward for taking care of her puppy for her, but we said it was OK because we were really happy to help. So we went home tired but content, telling my mom the whole thing. My family became friends with the lady, and we were all happy.

It was my first year of teaching. I was young and inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.
After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe, I had one of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own.
That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in — the cool basketball-playing country boy who had accidentally broken my favorite snow globe so that I couldn't display nice things in my classroom. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He'd stuck a bird feather in it.
''I got you a Mother's Day gift,'' he said in a low voice. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.
Made nervous by my silence, he said, ''You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.''
I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the entire world, and that I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. What made that twelve-year-old bring me a homemade present I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. That moment helped me get through the rest of the school years.
4. What did the author think of her job as a teacher at the beginning
A. Interesting. B. Tiring.
C. Rewarding. D. Demanding.
5. How did the boy feel when he gave his teacher the present
A. Excited. B. Shocked.
C. Unwilling. D. Shy.
6. How did the author react when she was given the flower
A. She was moved to tears.
B. She didn't accept the present.
C. She was too surprised to say anything.
D. She stared at the boy in puzzlement.
7. Which of the following encourages the author to continue teaching
A. The sincere love from students.
B. Her positive attitude to life.
C. Her strong interest in teaching.
D. The achievements in her work.
C
Typically, a person sitting in the driver's seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle(把手) and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle(阻碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic. Luckily, there's a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch(门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body and look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.
''It's just what Dutch people do,'' said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. ''All the Dutch are taught it. It's part of regular driver education.''
The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn't really become known as the Dutch reach until American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year-old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Charney's efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals(手册).
8. What is the first paragraph intended to show
A. The poor design of the car door and handle.
B. A common conflict between cars and bicycles.
C. A main cause of traffic accidents related to cyclists.
D. Possible risks connected with opening the car door.
9. What does the underlined word ''instinctual'' in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Difficult B. Possible
C. Natural D. Dangerous
10 How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents

Dog owners walked about 23minues longer each day than non-dog owners In a new study, dog owners took 2,760 additional seps—compared to people who didn’t have a dog at home. Bu here’s the real good news: That extra exercise was done at a moderate(适度的)pace, which means it could help adults meet their recommended weekly totals for physical activity.
The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. The study included 43 dog owners and 43 non-dog owners, all of whom were monitored continuously for three week-long periods. When they compared the two groups, the researchers found that dog ownership was associated with a large, potentially health-improving effect.
Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners, 119 minutes versus 96 minutes on average. They also took an additional 2,760 steps, and had eight fewer continuous periods of sitting down. Most of that extra walking was done at moderate pace, defined as 100 or more steps a minute. Dog owners walked at this pace for 32 minutes a day, versus just 11 minutes a day for non-dog owners.
The World Health Organization(WHO)recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week. This increased walking time alone could just about satisfy that requirement, say the researchers—so it makes total sense that 87 percent of dog owners in the study met these guidelines, versus just 47 percent of non-dog owners.
Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or maintain their current activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved or maintained cognition(认知), and perhaps, even overall longevity(寿命),”she said.
Here at Health, we’ ll add that caring for pets has been shown to have plenty of other physical and mental health benefits, as well. As animal lovers ourselves, we’ re happy to add one more to the list.
12. What can we learn about the research?
A. It was targeted on old people.
B. It was sponsored by the WHO.
C. It had an undesirable effect on dog owners.
D It took the mental health of dog owners into consideration.
13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. To present the results of the research.
B. To show the guidelines of the research.
C. To describe the process of doing the research.
D. To explain the reasons for conducting the research.
14. What does Nancy Gee think of owning a dog
A. It is too expensive.
B. It is time-consuming.
C. It enables older adults to live a healthy life.
D. It helps young adults to keep a healthy routine.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Non-pet owners enjoy more pleasure
B. Animal lovers are more generous
C. Young people walk less today
D. Dog owners walk way more

One morning, my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast——until we heard barking and scratching at the door. When my mom opened the door, we saw a puppy(小狗). We looked around to see if we saw its owner, but there was no one. We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy, we decided to look for the owner. We looked all day, but we failed. We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day. We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So, the next day my family and I looked for the dog's owner. It was so hard looking for its owner. We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy, but no luck. We wouldn't have quit because it's a puppy.
“We won't stop looking,” my mom and dad said. We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning, we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food. After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought. After we fed the puppy, we gave it a nice bath. It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky, but after we gave it a bath, it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar (狗项圈)on him, which said “Coby”. After we gave him a bath, we went to look for the p uppy's owner, but my mom stayed at home, and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers. “We looked at it.”it said.
“Lost Dog: Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby. We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There was a phone number on the flyer.
