Some people browse TikTok and Instagram for recipes, memes and colorful opinions on the news. Erin Coleman says her 14-year-old daughter uses these apps to search for videos about mental health diagnoses (诊断).
Over time, the teen started to self-identify with the creators, according to her mother, and became convinced she had the same diagnoses, including depression, autism (自闭症), mysophobia (洁癖) and agoraphobia (a fear of leaving the house).
“Every week, she would come up with another diagnosis,” Coleman told CNN. “If she sees a hint (暗示) of herself in someone, she thinks she has it, too.” After undergoing testing for mental health and medical conditions, her daughter was diagnosed not with the long list of conditions she had thought about but with severe anxiety. “Even now, she doesn’t always think the specialists are correct,” Coleman said.
Social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, have come under mounting scrutiny (审查) in recent years for their potential to lead younger users to harmful content and worsen what experts have called a national mental health crisis among teens. But Coleman is one of nearly two dozen parents who told CNN that they are worried about a different but related issue: teens using social media to diagnose themselves with mental health conditions.
A growing number of teens are turning to social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok for guidance, resources and support for their mental health, and to find conditions they think match their own—a trend that has alarmed parents, doctors and school counselors (辅导员), according to interviews with CNN. Some teens start to follow creators who discuss their own mental health conditions, symptoms and treatments; others have come across posts with symptoms checklists to help decide if they meet the criteria for a diagnosis.
Using the Internet to self-diagnose is not new, as anyone who has used WebMD knows. And there can be some benefits. Some parents said social media has helped their teens get mental health information they’ve needed and has helped them feel less alone.
4. What is Erin Coleman’s daughter’s problem from the first two paragraphs
A. She is addicted to Internet videos.
B. She can’t cook unless she has a recipe.
C. She suffers from many mental illnesses.
D. She self-diagnoses her mental health online.
5. Why is Erin Coleman’s daughter tested
A. To confirm the doctor’s diagnosis.
B. To explain the dangers of self-diagnosis.
C. To show that self-diagnosis is not reliable.
D. To keep her mother from worrying about her.
6. What can we learn about social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok
A. They lead younger users to harmful content.
B. They cause mental health crisis among teens.
C. They provide criteria for mental health diagnosis.
D. They are harmful for teens’ self-diagnosis of mental illness.
7. What is the author’s attitude toward social media
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述青少年用社交媒体进行自我精神诊断的现象。

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was born in Pennsylvania, America. Her career as an author began when she wrote poetry and short stories for popular magazines. When she was 22, her first book was published, which was like a milestone for her career.
When she was 35, she was asked by a publisher to write a novel “for girls” and that is how Little Women came to people’s eyes. The book became a sudden hit after its publication, and was adapted into films for many times, both silent movies and sound movies.
Little Women is the most beloved and enduring (经久不衰的) novel of Louisa May Alcott. It is about the life of four women (four sisters), especially the growth of four young women, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, from their childhood to womanhood. Four of them are of different personalities and stories. Meg is beautiful and gentle, typically good wife after being married. The author-to-be Jo is devoted to writing and is like a tomboy. The tragically frail Beth is talented in art, especially music. However, she dies in an early age. Amy is a romantic while spoiled lady who finds her talent in art too, especially sculpture. These four March sisters share their joy and sorrow while growing up, while their father is far at war—the civil war. The family is poor in goods but rich in love.
The second half of the novel, focuses on the girls as they leave their childhood and begin their journey into adult life. Lessons of friendship, family and love are covered as we join the characters through the ups and downs of life, good times and bad.

In the largest observational study to date on “superagers” — people in their 80s who have brains as sharp as those 30 years younger — researchers in Spain found key differences in lifestyle that may contribute to these older adults’ sharp minds.
Superagers in the study had more gray matter (灰质) in parts of the brain related to movement, and they scored higher on flexibility, balance and mobility (行走能力) tests than typical older adults — even though the physical activity levels of the two groups were the same. “Though superagers report similar activity levels to typical older people, it’s possible they do more physically demanding activities like gardening or stair climbing,” said senior author Bryan Strange, director of the Laboratory for Clinical Neuroscience at the Technical University of Madrid, in a statement.
“From lower blood pressure and obesity levels to increased blood flow to the brain, there are many direct and indirect benefits of being physically active that may contribute to improved cognitive abilities in old age.” The study, published on Thursday in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal, followed 64 superagers and 55 cognitively normal older adults who were part of the Vallecas Project, a long-term research project on Alzheimer’s in Madrid (马德里的老年痴呆症). In a series of tests, the study found the Spanish superagers scored lower than typical older adults in levels of depression and anxiety. Mental health issues such as depression are known risk factors for developing dementia (痴呆).
Superagers also told researchers they had been more active in midlife, had been happy with the amount of sleep they got, and were independent in their daily living. Poor sleep is a key risk factor for cognitive decline. “This study adds to what we already know — superaging isn’t just the ability to perform well on a cognitive test,” said Angela Roberts, an assistant joint professor of communication and computer science at Western University in London, Ontario, in an email.
12. What can we learn about superagers in Paragraph 2
A. Physical activities affect the brain composition of superagers.
B. Superagers and typical older adults have similar activity levels.
C. Physically activities like gardening or stair climbing are demanding.
D. Superagers’ brain structure is different from that of typical older adults.
13. What can we learn from the study published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal
A. The study focuses on mental health of the subjects.
B. The study finds the relationship between depression and dementia.
C. Cognitive abilities in old age may be improved by physical activities.
D. Superagers are more likely to develop dementia than typical older adults.
14. What may the follow-up study focus on
A. The relationship between sleep and cognition.
B. The relationship between midlife and cognition.
C. The relationship between activity level and cognition.
D. The relationship between independence and cognition.
15. What can we know from Angela Roberts’ words
A. She is good at cognitive tests.
B. She knows little about superaging.
C. Superagers are more active in old age life.
D. Superagers scored high in many aspects.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。“超级老人”指的是80多岁的大脑和比他们年轻30岁的人一样敏捷的老人,西班牙的研究人员对“超级老人”进行了迄今为止规模最大的观察性研究,研究发现,生活方式上的关键差异可能导致了这些老年人思维敏捷。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Superagers in the study had more gray matter (灰质) in parts of the brain related to movement, and they scored higher on flexibility, balance and mobility (行走能力) tests than typical older adults(在这项研究中,超级老人大脑中与运动相关的部分有更多的灰质,他们在灵活性、平衡和行动能力测试中的得分高于普通老年人)”和“Though superagers report similar activity levels to typical older people, it’s possible they do more physically demanding activities like gardening or stair climbing(虽然超级老人的活动水平与一般老年人相似,但他们可能会做更多的体力活动,比如园艺或爬楼梯)”可知,因为超级老人可能会做更多的体力活动,超级老人大脑中与运动相关的部分有更多的灰质,从第二段中可以了解到体力活动会影响超级老人的大脑成分。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“From lower blood pressure and obesity levels to increased blood flow to the brain, there are many direct and indirect benefits of being physically active that may contribute to improved cognitive abilities in old age.(从降低血压和肥胖水平到增加大脑血流量,体育锻炼有许多直接和间接的好处,可能有助于提高老年人的认知能力。)”可知,从发表在《柳叶刀健康长寿》杂志上的研究中可以了解到老年人的认知能力可以通过体力活动得到改善。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Superagers also told researchers they had been more active in midlife, had been happy with the amount of sleep they got, and were independent in their daily living. Poor sleep is a key risk factor for cognitive decline.(超级老人还告诉研究人员,他们在中年时更加活跃,对自己的睡眠时间感到满意,并且在日常生活中更加独立。睡眠不足是认知能力下降的一个关键风险因素。)”可知,后续研究的重点可能是睡眠和认知之间的关系。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This study adds to what we already know — superaging isn’t just the ability to perform well on a cognitive test(这项研究超过了我们已有的认知——超级老人不仅仅是在认知测试中表现良好的能力)”可知,从安吉拉·罗伯茨的话中可以了解到超级老人在很多方面都得分很高。故选D。

To fully appreciate Australian cuisine, you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography. For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. ____16____
One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. ____17____ As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. ____18____ Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.
But then, how is all this food cooked Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. ____19____ It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill.
____20____ As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavours and cuisines from around the globe. No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you, you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia.
A. Australia is made up of many regions.
B. Beyond this, what is Australian cooking
C. Casual friendliness is the key to such meals.
D People need to pay attention to the protection of kangaroos.
E. Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife.
F. Perhaps this is one reason why so many Australians live near the coast.
G. It is no wonder that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. B

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。2020年12月17日,中国太极拳被列入联合国教科文组织《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》,这让人们对太极拳的热情愈加高涨,文章对此进行了介绍。
【36题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然两年多过去了,陈兵仍然对此感到兴奋。根据“more than two years have passed”和“Chen Bing is still excited about it”可知,前后构成让步转折关系,所以应用连词although/though/while表示“尽管”引导让步状语从句。句首首字母应大写。故填Although/Though/While。
【37题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:陈兵是第一个在向联合国教科文组织提交的介绍影片中展示太极拳经典动作的人。the first to do意为“第一个做某事的人”,所以此处应用to do不定式作后置定语。故填to show。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:他说:“这向我证明,我所从事的事业是世界级的,是为了全人类。”在宾语从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语,且不缺少意义,所以应用从属连词that。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:太极拳受到道教、儒家思想和传统中医理论的影响。修饰名词medicine应用形容词traditional表示“传统的”作定语。故填traditional。
【40题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:它已经发展成许多流派或风格,通常以宗派或大师命名,如陈式和杨式。动词name意为“给……命名”,和谓语之间没有连词,和逻辑主语many schools or styles构成被动关系,且动作已完成,所以应用过去分词形式作定语。故填named。
【41题详解】
考查现在完成进行时和主谓一致。句意:他从六岁开始就在他的叔叔陈小王和陈小星的指导下练习陈式太极拳,陈小王和陈小星是河南陈式太极拳的两位标志性人物。根据“since he was six years old”可知,此处是指动作发生在过去,一直持续到现在,在将来的某段时间里仍将进行,所以应用现在完成进行时。主语he为第三人称单数。故填has been practising。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他从六岁开始就在他的叔叔陈小王和陈小星的指导下练习陈式太极拳,陈小王和陈小星是河南陈式太极拳的两位标志性人物。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为人,所以应用关系代词who引导定语从句。故填who。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:近年来,中国公众的热情大大提高。此处作主语应用名词enthusiasm表示“热情”。故填enthusiasm。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:为了让太极拳越来越受欢迎,陈还开发了一些简化版的动作,以帮助人们在办公室放松。此处修饰形容词popular应用副词increasingly表示“越发地”作状语。故填increasingly。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:他培养了400多名弟子,这些弟子又把这些知识传授给他们的学生。in turn意为“相应地,类似地”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用介词in。故填in。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
John flew to the U.S. from his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland when he was 19 years old. He headed to California for a semester studying abroad. It was his first time traveling overseas by himself, and he was a little nervous.
Luckily, he met a young Irish couple along the way. They were going to Venice Beach, which wasn’t far from John’s final destination of Newport Beach. They decided to make the final leg of the journey together. There was just one problem: None of them knew how to get to either city from Los Angeles.
“I think we may take three or four, maybe even five different bus journeys, possibly going in different directions each time,” John said.
Each time they asked bus drivers for directions, they’d end up more confused.
They were getting more and more upset. They hadn’t packed much food or water, just not very prepared in every respect. It’s not just that they were kind of tired and hungry. There was certainly a level of anxiety growing in their minds as well.
Eventually they decided to find a map. They bought one at a gas station and stood outside, trying to make sense of it. “It couldn’t be more obvious that we have got lost,” John said, laughing helplessly.
For about 15 minutes, the group stood outside examining the map. They were on the verge of giving up when a young woman approached them. She was wearing a T-shirt that said “Need help ”
“I’m not a person of faith,” John said to the couple. “But I admit that at present I do have a sense of, well, has this person been sent from heaven ” The young woman just looked at them and said, “Do you guys need any help ” The three tired travelers told her how they had gotten lost on the way to Venice Beach. Pointing to a blue car in which sat a middle-aged woman, the young woman replied,“ Maybe my mum and I can help you.”
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。
They expected the young woman could tell them how to get to Venice Beach but instead she offered something even better.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning the young woman helped John map out a ride to Newport Beach
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
They expected the young woman could tell them how to get to Venice Beach but instead she offered something even better. “Why don’t you just get in the car My mother and I will take you,” the young woman replied. Relieved and grateful, John and his new friends got into the woman’s car. On the journey, the young woman discovered that John was going to travel to Newport Beach. “Well, don’t worry, I will help you coordinate your trip to Newport Beach tomorrow,” the young woman suggested. Not only did they drop off the Irish couple in Venice Beach, they also provided accommodations for John.
The next morning the young woman helped John map out a ride to Newport Beach. The young woman had arranged everything for John, which made him really grateful. John was aware that how unusual that level of generosity was, far beyond his expectation. He wanted to pay money for what they had done for him, but was refused. They just told John to pass this kindness on to whoever needed help. John made his way to Newport Beach, feeling warm in his heart and he wouldn’t feel nervous because he knew there would always be someone who was willing to give a helping hand.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述John第一次独自出国旅行,在路上遇到一对年轻的爱尔兰夫妇并结伴一起,可是他们迷路了,这时一位年轻女子向他们走过来并提供帮助 。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由续写第一段首句“他们希望这位年轻女子能告诉他们如何去威尼斯海滩,但她却提供了更好的东西。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容:年轻女子开车送John和爱尔兰夫妇去了威尼斯海滩,并给John提供了住宿。
②由第二段首句“第二天早上,这位年轻女子帮John安排了一条去纽波特海滩的路线。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容:年轻女子为John安排好了所有一切,John想为年轻女子所做的给予一定报酬但遭到拒绝,John心里充满感激和温暖。
2.续写线索:年轻女子送John和爱尔兰夫妇去了威尼斯海滩——年轻女子为John安排住宿——年轻女子帮John安排好了去纽波特海滩的事宜——John决定支付报酬但被拒绝——John内心充满感激和温暖

Some people browse TikTok and Instagram for recipes, memes and colorful opinions on the news. Erin Coleman says her 14-year-old daughter uses these apps to search for videos about mental health diagnoses (诊断).
Over time, the teen started to self-identify with the creators, according to her mother, and became convinced she had the same diagnoses, including depression, autism (自闭症), mysophobia (洁癖) and agoraphobia (a fear of leaving the house).
“Every week, she would come up with another diagnosis,” Coleman told CNN. “If she sees a hint (暗示) of herself in someone, she thinks she has it, too.” After undergoing testing for mental health and medical conditions, her daughter was diagnosed not with the long list of conditions she had thought about but with severe anxiety. “Even now, she doesn’t always think the specialists are correct,” Coleman said.
Social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, have come under mounting scrutiny (审查) in recent years for their potential to lead younger users to harmful content and worsen what experts have called a national mental health crisis among teens. But Coleman is one of nearly two dozen parents who told CNN that they are worried about a different but related issue: teens using social media to diagnose themselves with mental health conditions.
A growing number of teens are turning to social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok for guidance, resources and support for their mental health, and to find conditions they think match their own—a trend that has alarmed parents, doctors and school counselors (辅导员), according to interviews with CNN. Some teens start to follow creators who discuss their own mental health conditions, symptoms and treatments; others have come across posts with symptoms checklists to help decide if they meet the criteria for a diagnosis.
Using the Internet to self-diagnose is not new, as anyone who has used WebMD knows. And there can be some benefits. Some parents said social media has helped their teens get mental health information they’ve needed and has helped them feel less alone.
4. What is Erin Coleman’s daughter’s problem from the first two paragraphs
A. She is addicted to Internet videos.
B. She can’t cook unless she has a recipe.
C. She suffers from many mental illnesses.
D. She self-diagnoses her mental health online.
5. Why is Erin Coleman’s daughter tested
A. To confirm the doctor’s diagnosis.
B. To explain the dangers of self-diagnosis.
C. To show that self-diagnosis is not reliable.
D To keep her mother from worrying about her.
6. What can we learn about social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok
A. They lead younger users to harmful content.
B. They cause mental health crisis among teens.
C. They provide criteria for mental health diagnosis.
D. They are harmful for teens’ self-diagnosis of mental illness.
7. What is the author’s attitude toward social media
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
C
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was born in Pennsylvania, America. Her career as an author began when she wrote poetry and short stories for popular magazines. When she was 22, her first book was published, which was like a milestone for her career.
When she was 35, she was asked by a publisher to write a novel “for girls” and that is how Little Women came to people’s eyes. The book became a sudden hit after its publication, and was adapted into films for many times, both silent movies and sound movies.
Little Women is the most beloved and enduring (经久不衰的) novel of Louisa May Alcott. It is about the life of four women (four sisters), especially the growth of four young women, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, from their childhood to womanhood. Four of them are of different personalities and stories. Meg is beautiful and gentle, typically good wife after being married. The author-to-be Jo is devoted to writing and is like a tomboy. The tragically frail Beth is talented in art, especially music. However, she dies in an early age. Amy is a romantic while spoiled lady who finds her talent in art too, especially sculpture. These four March sisters share their joy and sorrow while growing up, while their father is far at war—the civil war. The family is poor in goods but rich in love.
The second half of the novel, focuses on the girls as they leave their childhood and begin their journey into adult life. Lessons of friendship, family and love are covered as we join the characters through the ups and downs of life, good times and bad.
8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Little Women was Alcott’s first book.
B. Alcott’s mother once served as her tutor.
C Alcott helped reduce the family burden when young.
D. Little Women was only adapted into sound movies after its publication.
9. What does the underlined word “frail” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Delicate. B. Lonely. C. Sensitive. D. Ambitious.
10. What is the second half of the novel mainly about
A. Their bittersweet childhood.
B. Their journey into adulthood.
C. Their life lessons in bad times.
D. Their father’s service in the civil war.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a book. B. To share life lessons.
C. To memorize a writer. D. To explain a book’s publication.
D
In the largest observational study to date on “superagers” — people in their 80s who have brains as sharp as those 30 years younger — researchers in Spain found key differences in lifestyle that may contribute to these older adults’ sharp minds.
Superagers in the study had more gray matter (灰质) in parts of the brain related to movement, and they scored higher on flexibility, balance and mobility (行走能力) tests than typical older adults — even though the physical activity levels of the two groups were the same. “Though superagers report similar activity levels to typical older people, it’s possible they do more physically demanding activities like gardening or stair climbing,” said senior author Bryan Strange, director of the Laboratory for Clinical Neuroscience at the Technical University of Madrid, in a statement.
“From lower blood pressure and obesity levels to increased blood flow to the brain, there are many direct and indirect benefits of being physically active that may contribute to improved cognitive abilities in old age.” The study, published on Thursday in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal, followed 64 superagers and 55 cognitively normal older adults who were part of the Vallecas Project, a long-term research project on Alzheimer’s in Madrid (马德里的老年痴呆症). In a series of tests, the study found the Spanish superagers scored lower than typical older adults in levels of depression and anxiety. Mental health issues such as depression are known risk factors for developing dementia (痴呆).
Superagers also told researchers they had been more active in midlife, had been happy with the amount of sleep they got, and were independent in their daily living. Poor sleep is a key risk factor for cognitive decline. “This study adds to what we already know — superaging isn’t just the ability to perform well on a cognitive test,” said Angela Roberts, an assistant joint professor of communication and computer science at Western University in London, Ontario, in an email.

One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. ____17____ As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. ____18____ Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.
But then, how is all this food cooked Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. ____19____ It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill.
____20____ As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavours and cuisines from around the globe. No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you, you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia.

John flew to the U.S. from his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland when he was 19 years old. He headed to California for a semester studying abroad. It was his first time traveling overseas by himself, and he was a little nervous.
Luckily, he met a young Irish couple along the way. They were going to Venice Beach, which wasn’t far from John’s final destination of Newport Beach. They decided to make the final leg of the journey together. There was just one problem: None of them knew how to get to either city from Los Angeles.
“I think we may take three or four, maybe even five different bus journeys, possibly going in different directions each time,” John said.
Each time they asked bus drivers for directions, they’d end up more confused.
They were getting more and more upset. They hadn’t packed much food or water, just not very prepared in every respect. It’s not just that they were kind of tired and hungry. There was certainly a level of anxiety growing in their minds as well.
Eventually they decided to find a map. They bought one at a gas station and stood outside, trying to make sense of it. “It couldn’t be more obvious that we have got lost,” John said, laughing helplessly.
For about 15 minutes, the group stood outside examining the map. They were on the verge of giving up when a young woman approached them. She was wearing a T-shirt that said “Need help ”
“I’m not a person of faith,” John said to the couple. “But I admit that at present I do have a sense of, well, has this person been sent from heaven ” The young woman just looked at them and said, “Do you guys need any help ” The three tired travelers told her how they had gotten lost on the way to Venice Beach. Pointing to a blue car in which sat a middle-aged woman, the young woman replied,“ Maybe my mum and I can help you.”
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。
They expected the young woman could tell them how to get to Venice Beach but instead she offered something even better.

The next morning the young woman helped John map out a ride to Newport Beach.
