In 2018, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villasenor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, govemment-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading for the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young people would ‘inherit’ the Earth.” Villasenor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villasenor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villasenor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep.” she said. “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”
4. What made Villasenor realize the lack of climate education
A. The state of California. B. The fire disasters in America.
C. 150, 000 acres of land scaring her. D. The severe Camp fire in California.
5. What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean
A. To talk with more local people to change their mind.
B. To convey her belief loudly to more global students.
C. To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.
D. To call on local people to fight with the leaders.
6. Which of the following facts gives Villasenor a sense of achievement
A. That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.
B. That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.
C. That she can sleep and read in her spare time.
D. That more schools have set up climate courses.
7. What is this passage mainly about
A. The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.
B. Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.
C. How to prevent camp fire.
D. Young activists make their voices heard.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是15岁的Alexandria Villasenor为更好的气候教育而不断斗争的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected.(当时13岁的Alexandria Villasenor目睹了北加州营火的毁灭，这场大火烧毁了超过15万英亩的土地。Villasenor吓坏了。“那时我才意识到气候教育是多么重要，”她回忆道。)”可知， Alexandria在13岁的时候目睹的那场大火，让她意识到了气候教育的重要性，由此可知，加州的那次严重的大火让她意识到气候教育的缺乏。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子后的“She quickly realized the fight requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education.(她很快意识到，这场斗争需要国际层面的、政府层面的变革。对她来说，一开始只是当地的关注，后来演变成了在联合国纽约总部门前长达一年的抗议活动，以及一场要求加强气候义务教育的全球运动。)”可知，这场战斗一开始得到了当地的关注，但她认识到这场战斗需要的是国际性的，政府层面的变化，所以出现了对联合国总部前的长达一年的抗议活动以及要求强制性气候教育的全球运动，由此可推断，划线句子中所提到的“更大的对话”应该是让国内外的领导人对气候教育做出改变。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的““That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.( Villasenor说：“当我意识到人们正在倾听我和青年气候活动家的声音时，这绝对是一个重大时刻。”)”可知，Villasenor认为人们关注了自己与青年气候活动家的呼声是个重大的时刻，由此可知，她和其他青年气候活动家的观点引起人们的注意使她有一种成就感。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的““That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”(“就在那时，我发现了气候教育的重要性，”她回忆道。“以及过去几年我们多么缺乏气候教育。”.)”引出本文要讲述的话题，结合下文对Villasenor为了让国内外的领导人对气候教育引起重视而采取的行动以及所取得成就的介绍可知，本文主要讲述的是Villasenor为了更好的气候教育而进行的斗争。故选A项。
C
When 9-year-old Alice asked me, “Mom, do I have to brush my hair today ”, I didn’t know how to answer. On the one hand, it’s good to have pride in our appearance. And hair-brushing does not take a lot of effort. But on the other hand, I was happy that my daughter paid little attention to the way her hair looked, how she dressed or what people thought about her. In Alice’s world, brushing her hair was troublesome and she would just do it as little as possible. I knew back then that those feelings would not last a long time.
Five years later, at age 14, Alice is obsessed (迷恋) with her physical appearance. Hair has to be brushed, makeup used, and clothes changed many times before we can even think about leaving the house. My confident teen worries about whether her nail (指甲) color matches her shirt or if she looks “stupid” in the very same clothes she says she loved the day before. With shame, it crosses my mind that I somehow raised a looks-obsessed child, focusing on things that are shallow (肤浅的) .
We have talked about in detail how looks don’t matter and that being a good, kind, caring person in this world is way more important than looking good. Each time we talk about this, Alice tells me that she knows that looks aren’t important. But when she looks good on the outside, she feels more confident on the inside. In turn, that makes her a kinder, more caring, more understanding person. I certainly can’t argue with such powerful teenage thinking
And just as she learned over the years that often brushing hair is probably a good idea, hopefully she will learn that sometimes it’s okay to go out in a less-than-perfect coat or without makeup. Somewhere deep down, her freewheeling (随心所欲的) 9-year-old self still knows that.
8. What was the 9-year-old Alice like
A. She cared little about her looks. B. She was curious about the world.
C. She communicated with her mom often. D. She liked to brush her hair for her mom.
9. What does the author think of Alice’s change
A. It is a waste of money. B. It is totally unnecessary.
C. It makes Alice look a little older. D. It makes the author feel ashamed.
10. What is the author’s reaction to Alice’s reasons
A. She falls silent. B. She is surprised.
C. She pays no attention to them. D. She thinks about them carefully.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. My daughter’s freewheeling attitude to her looks
B. My admiration for my daughter’s courage to change
C. My struggle to do with my looks-obsessed daughter
D. My daughter’s methods of looking good and feeling good
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

D
Your smartphone breaks. The repair costs too much money. So you give up and buy a new device (设备) . That this happens so often is no coincidence (巧合) .
Many big device makers are putting more new products on the market. But they do not sell specialized tools and parts needed for repairs. And they offer no instruction on how to repair their products. As a result, the independent repair shops in your neighborhood find they cannot repair your broken smartphone. You can only go to faraway authorized (经授权的) repair shops to get the necessary repair service, which is often costly.
In recent years, some producers have taken steps to make repairs easier, but there’s a growing effort across the world to push them to do more. Last week, the “Right to Repair movement heard good news from the White House. The president of the US on Friday signed an order aimed at encouraging healthy competition in the US economy. It includes a condition for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) . The FTC was asked to make rules preventing producers from limiting independent device repair shops and DIY repairs.
“Right to Repair” is a global movement to make sure everyone has the right to fix the products they own. The idea has generally come from the United States. The earliest known published reference using the group of words comes from the auto industry dating back to2003. Its supporters require companies to provide their parts, tools and information for consumers (消费者) and repair shops. They also encourage the government to make laws to force producers to increase device reparability.
The FTC in May presented a 56-page report. It said that “many consumer products have become harder to fix.” The report also found that “the burden (负担) of repair limits may fall more heavily on communities of color and consumers having little money” because many independent repair shops are owned by people of color and because high-cost repairs hit low-paid consumers harder.
12 What problem does the author discuss in paragraph 2
A. Electronic products’ quality is low. B. The repair market makes little money.
C. The prices of new devices keep rising. D. Customers have difficulty repairing devices.
13. What is the US government’s attitude to the “Right to Repair” movement
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive D. Concerned.
14. In writing paragraph 4, the author aims to ________.
A. provide a solution B. reach a conclusion
C. give background information D. introduce a new topic for discussion
15. What can we learn about the movement from the last paragraph
A. It may especially benefit the poor. B. It will help reduce production costs.
C. It was started by communities of color. D. It is supported by authorized repair shops.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。许多大型设备制造商推出产品的同时，并没有提供专用修理所需的专用工具和零件以及修理产品的说明，导致客户很难修理设备。本文主要讲述了旨在确保每个人都有修理自己产品的权利“修理权”运动。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Many big device makers are putting more new products on the market. But they do not sell specialized tools and parts needed for repairs. And they offer no instruction on how to repair their products. As a result, the independent repair shops in your neighborhood find they cannot repair your broken smartphone. (许多大型设备制造商正在向市场推出更多新产品。但他们不出售修理所需的专用工具和零件。而且他们也不提供如何修理产品的指导。结果，你家附近的独立维修店发现他们无法修理你坏掉的智能手机。)”可知，许多大型设备制造商推出产品的同时，并没有提供专用修理所需的专用工具和零件以及修理产品的说明，导致客户很难修理设备。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The president of the US on Friday signed an order aimed at encouraging healthy competition in the US economy. It includes a condition for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) . The FTC was asked to make rules preventing producers from limiting independent device repair shops and DIY repairs. (周五，美国总统签署了一项旨在鼓励美国经济健康竞争的命令。其中包括联邦贸易委员会(FTC)的一个条件。联邦贸易委员会被要求制定规则，防止生产商限制独立的设备维修店和DIY维修。)”可知，美国政府对“维修权”运动的态度是支持的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““Right to Repair” is a global movement to make sure everyone has the right to fix the products they own. The idea has generally come from the United States. The earliest known published reference using the group of words comes from the auto industry dating back to2003 (“修理权”是一项全球性的运动，旨在确保每个人都有修理自己产品的权利。这个想法通常来自美国。已知最早使用这组词的公开参考文献来自2003年的汽车行业)”可知，本段只要是对“修理权”运动的相关知识做出介绍，提供背景资料。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The report also found that “the burden (负担) of repair limits may fall more heavily on communities of color and consumers having little money” because many independent repair shops are owned by people of color and because high-cost repairs hit low-paid consumers harder.(报告还发现，“维修限制的负担可能更多地落在有色人种和没有钱的消费者身上”，因为许多独立的维修店都是有色人种开的，而且高成本的维修对低收入消费者的打击更大。)”可知，维修限制的负担可能更多地落在有色人种和没有钱的消费者身上，“修理权”运动可能特别有利于穷人。故选A。

Did they max out on too many things, or are there other factors And how can we become better savers
First, put a stop to those impulse buys. ____17____, even if it is on sale or looks like a bargain. Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it’s costing you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了储蓄的重要性以及如何成为更好的储蓄者。
【16题详解】
根据后文“but a recent study showed that over half of all 22~29-year-olds living in the UK have no savings at all. Did they max out on too many things, or are there other factors And how can we become better savers ( 但最近的一项研究表明，超过一半的22至29岁的英国人根本没有储蓄。是他们在太多事情上达到了极限，还是有其他因素？我们怎样才能成为更好的储蓄者？)”可知，后文but表示转折，提到超过一半的22至29岁的英国人根本没有储蓄以及如何成为更好的储蓄者，由此推知，空处提出储蓄很重要。故A选项“学会如何存钱很重要”符合语境，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“First, put a stop to those impulse buys.(首先，停止冲动购买)”以及后文“even if it is on sale or looks like a bargain. Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it’s costing you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing.(即使它正在打折或看起来很便宜。冲动购物是在一时冲动下完成的，没有考虑到你会付出什么代价。鼓励自己在购买之前质疑自己的购买行为，可以让你对自己正在做的事情进行处理)”可知，本段的主旨是停止冲动购买，后文提到了“即使它正在打折或看起来很便宜”，说明要思考自己是否真正需要买东西，而不是在意价格，故F选项“问自己是否真的需要买东西”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget you must stick to. Also, any change that comes from your transactions when you’re using cash can be put in jar and deposited into your account.(在你去餐馆或购物之前提取现金，并设定一个你必须坚持的固定预算。此外，当你使用现金时，交易产生的任何变化都可以放在罐子里存入你的账户)”可知，本段的主旨是使用现金来多储蓄。故E选项“另一种方法是用现金而不是信用卡”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Finally, be disciplined.(最后，要自律)”以及后文“It’s about sticking to it, too. You shouldn’t be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit.(这也是关于坚持的问题。你不应该每次想要的时候就动用你的存款。在你拿到工资的那一刻，从你的活期账户中建立一个定期存款账户，这样可以确保你保持这个习惯)”可知，后文提到了自律也是坚持的问题，说明储蓄不仅仅是创建预算，而是要执行并且坚持。故C选项“这不仅仅是关于创建预算”符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit.(在你拿到工资的那一刻，从你的活期账户中建立一个定期存款账户，这样可以确保你保持这个习惯)”可知，上文提到了坚持储蓄的习惯，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明这么做的感受：坚持他们的计划，看着钱越积越多。故G选项“成功的储蓄者坚持他们的计划，看着钱越积越多”符合语境，故选G。

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。
His father said, “All set, boy ” and Jeremy nodded quickly, picking up his gun. Finally, they arrived at the marsh. Normally, Jeremy would ask his father to wait while he tried to record the beautiful place with his camera, but not this morning. This was the morning when 14-year old Jeremy was to have duck shooting.
Actually, he hated duck shooting since his father bought him a gun, taught him to shoot and promised him this trip. But he loved his father, and wanted to make his father pleased.
Jeremy put down the camera, sat down and waited anxiously.
“Better get ready. Sometimes ducks are on top of you before you know it,” his father said. He watched Jeremy break his gun, put in the bullets and close it again. “I’ll let you shoot first,” he said. He stopped suddenly, eyes narrowed. “There is a small group of ducks heading this way now. Keep your head down. I’ll give you the order.”
Jeremy’s heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don’t let the ducks come, please.”
But they kept coming. “Four black ducks and one mallard (绿头鸭),” said his father.
High above Jeremy heard the sound of wings as the ducks went over and began to circle. The mallard was leading; his bright orange feet dropped down, reaching for the water. Closer, closer...
“Get set,” his father whispered.
“Now, shoot!” cried his father in a loud voice.
Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, his hands holding the gun the way his father had taught him.
At the same time, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy’s brain, but the expected sound didn’t come. Up went the mallard, until it flew away.
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。
His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn’t you shoot ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
His father was handing the camera to him and said softly, “Here comes another duck.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn’t you shoot ”“Because they so alive,” Jeremy explained, with his lips shaking. He sat on the grass, buried his face in his hands and burst into tears. All hope of pleasing his father was gone. For a long moment, his father was silent. Then Jeremy felt him kneel down beside him and pat him on the shoulder gently. Suddenly, his father shouted, “Get ready!” Feeling cold metal touching his hard, Jeremy looked up.
His father was handing the camera to hi m and said softy, “Here comes another duck.” A beautiful wild duck flew closer, its white breast shining in the sunshine. Jeremy held up his camera immediately. “I got him!” A broad smile lit up his face. His father gave him a thumbs - up. Jeremy discovered there was no disappointing in his eyes, only pride and love. “It’s OK, son. I love shooting, but that doesn’t mean you have to.” He paused and said, “Could you teach me how to use that camera ”
【解析】

In 2018, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villasenor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, govemment-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading for the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young people would ‘inherit’ the Earth.” Villasenor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villasenor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villasenor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep.” she said. “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”
4. What made Villasenor realize the lack of climate education
A. The state of California. B. The fire disasters in America.
C. 150, 000 acres of land scaring her. D. The severe Camp fire in California.
5. What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean
A. To talk with more local people to change their mind.
B. To convey her belief loudly to more global students.
C. To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.
D. To call on local people to fight with the leaders.
6. Which of the following facts gives Villasenor a sense of achievement
A. That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.
B. That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.
C. That she can sleep and read in her spare time.
D. That more schools have set up climate courses.
7. What is this passage mainly about
A. The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.
B. Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.
C. How to prevent camp fire.
D. Young activists make their voices heard.
C
When 9-year-old Alice asked me, “Mom, do I have to brush my hair today ”, I didn’t know how to answer. On the one hand, it’s good to have pride in our appearance. And hair-brushing does not take a lot of effort. But on the other hand, I was happy that my daughter paid little attention to the way her hair looked, how she dressed or what people thought about her. In Alice’s world, brushing her hair was troublesome and she would just do it as little as possible. I knew back then that those feelings would not last a long time.
Five years later, at age 14, Alice is obsessed (迷恋) with her physical appearance. Hair has to be brushed, makeup used, and clothes changed many times before we can even think about leaving the house. My confident teen worries about whether her nail (指甲) color matches her shirt or if she looks “stupid” in the very same clothes she says she loved the day before. With shame, it crosses my mind that I somehow raised a looks-obsessed child, focusing on things that are shallow (肤浅的) .
We have talked about in detail how looks don’t matter and that being a good, kind, caring person in this world is way more important than looking good. Each time we talk about this, Alice tells me that she knows that looks aren’t important. But when she looks good on the outside, she feels more confident on the inside. In turn, that makes her a kinder, more caring, more understanding person. I certainly can’t argue with such powerful teenage thinking
And just as she learned over the years that often brushing hair is probably a good idea, hopefully she will learn that sometimes it’s okay to go out in a less-than-perfect coat or without makeup. Somewhere deep down, her freewheeling (随心所欲的) 9-year-old self still knows that.
8. What was the 9-year-old Alice like
A. She cared little about her looks. B. She was curious about the world.
C. She communicated with her mom often. D. She liked to brush her hair for her mom.
9. What does the author think of Alice’s change
A It is a waste of money. B. It is totally unnecessary.
C. It makes Alice look a little older. D. It makes the author feel ashamed.
10. What is the author’s reaction to Alice’s reasons
A. She falls silent. B. She is surprised.
C. She pays no attention to them. D. She thinks about them carefully.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. My daughter’s freewheeling attitude to her looks
B. My admiration for my daughter’s courage to change
C. My struggle to do with my looks-obsessed daughter
D. My daughter’s methods of looking good and feeling good
D
Your smartphone breaks. The repair costs too much money. So you give up and buy a new device (设备) . That this happens so often is no coincidence (巧合) .
Many big device makers are putting more new products on the market. But they do not sell specialized tools and parts needed for repairs. And they offer no instruction on how to repair their products. As a result, the independent repair shops in your neighborhood find they cannot repair your broken smartphone. You can only go to faraway authorized (经授权的) repair shops to get the necessary repair service, which is often costly.
In recent years, some producers have taken steps to make repairs easier, but there’s a growing effort across the world to push them to do more. Last week, the “Right to Repair movement heard good news from the White House. The president of the US on Friday signed an order aimed at encouraging healthy competition in the US economy. It includes a condition for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) . The FTC was asked to make rules preventing producers from limiting independent device repair shops and DIY repairs.
“Right to Repair” is a global movement to make sure everyone has the right to fix the products they own. The idea has generally come from the United States. The earliest known published reference using the group of words comes from the auto industry dating back to2003. Its supporters require companies to provide their parts, tools and information for consumers (消费者) and repair shops. They also encourage the government to make laws to force producers to increase device reparability.
The FTC in May presented a 56-page report. It said that “many consumer products have become harder to fix.” The report also found that “the burden (负担) of repair limits may fall more heavily on communities of color and consumers having little money” because many independent repair shops are owned by people of color and because high-cost repairs hit low-paid consumers harder.
12. What problem does the author discuss in paragraph 2
A Electronic products’ quality is low. B. The repair market makes little money.
C. The prices of new devices keep rising. D. Customers have difficulty repairing devices.
13. What is the US government’s attitude to the “Right to Repair” movement
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive D. Concerned.
14. In writing paragraph 4, the author aims to ________.
A. provide a solution B. reach a conclusion
C. give background information D. introduce a new topic for discussion
15. What can we learn about the movement from the last paragraph
A. It may especially benefit the poor. B. It will help reduce production costs.
C. It was started by communities of color. D. It is supported by authorized repair shops.

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。
His father said, “All set, boy ” and Jeremy nodded quickly, picking up his gun. Finally, they arrived at the marsh. Normally, Jeremy would ask his father to wait while he tried to record the beautiful place with his camera, but not this morning. This was the morning when 14-year old Jeremy was to have duck shooting.
Actually, he hated duck shooting since his father bought him a gun, taught him to shoot and promised him this trip. But he loved his father, and wanted to make his father pleased.
Jeremy put down the camera, sat down and waited anxiously.
“Better get ready. Sometimes ducks are on top of you before you know it,” his father said. He watched Jeremy break his gun, put in the bullets and close it again. “I’ll let you shoot first,” he said. He stopped suddenly, eyes narrowed. “There is a small group of ducks heading this way now. Keep your head down. I’ll give you the order.”
Jeremy’s heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don’t let the ducks come, please.”
But they kept coming. “Four black ducks and one mallard (绿头鸭),” said his father.
High above, Jeremy heard the sound of wings as the ducks went over and began to circle. The mallard was leading; his bright orange feet dropped down, reaching for the water. Closer, closer...
“Get set,” his father whispered.
“Now, shoot!” cried his father in a loud voice.
Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, his hands holding the gun the way his father had taught him.
At the same time, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy’s brain, but the expected sound didn’t come. Up went the mallard, until it flew away.
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。
His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn’t you shoot ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
His father was handing the camera to him and said softly, “Here comes another duck.”
