1 / 7
{#{QQABLY6EggCoABJAAAhCUwVACkIQkAGACAoOQBAAsAABwAFABAA=}#}
来是做飞行员的,而且是做商业航班的飞行员,即他是在航空公司为航班开飞机的,可是现在他要转行做
宇航员,所以做宇航员对他来说是一个全新的转变,也就是他从一个什么都知道的飞行员转变成了什么都

知,文章介绍了怀揣登天梦的 Nora Almatrooshi 和她的同伴通过自己的努力最终进入宇航员训练计划的故事,
C 项“passion and preparations(激情和准备)”为最佳标题。故选 C。
C 篇【答案】28.D 29.A 30.B 31.C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在网上购物的世界里,许多网上购物都是基于对完全陌生的人留下
的星级评价和产品评论的仔细考虑。但是当你决定买什么的时候,你应该相信顾客的评价吗?这些神秘的
评论者是否考虑到你的最大利益?文章给出了建议和解释。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段“Consumers today are skeptical, says Zach Pardes at review platform Trustpilot. “We
live in a time when trust is completely under attack,” Pardes says. “So people are reading reviews and consuming
them more than ever before, but I think there is a healthy skepticism at times of what they’re reading. Fake(假的)
reviews do exist. Fake reviews include, but aren’t limited to, robot-generated reviews and reviews that are
influenced by the seller. ””(评论平台 Trustpilot 的扎克 帕迪斯(Zach Pardes)表示,如今的消费者对此持怀疑
态度。“我们生活在一个信任完全受到攻击的时代,”Pardes 说。“所以人们比以往任何时候都更多地阅读和
消费评论,但我认为有时他们对所读的东西有一种健康的怀疑态度。虚假评论确实存在。虚假评论包括但
不限于机器人生成的评论和受卖家影响的评论。”)可推知,在第二段中,Pardes 暗示了消费者现在应该对
产品评论保持谨慎的态度。故选 D 项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中“High-quality reviews are a valuable tool when making a variety of purchases.
Pardes says Trustpilot features a team in place to detect and remove fake reviews. Perhaps one of the best-known
review websites is Yelp. Yelp takes measures to ensure “high-quality content,” says Kathleen Liu, a company
spokesperson.(” 高质量的评论是一个有价值的工具。Pardes 说 Trustpilot 有一个团队来检测和删除虚假评论。
也许最著名的评论网站之一是 Yelp。Yelp 公司发言人 Kathleen Liu 表示,该公司采取措施确保“高质量的内
容”。)可知,Yelp 和 Trustpilot 的共同之处是两者都旨在提供真实的用户评论。故选 A 项。
30.词义猜测题。根据划线单词句子中“Since user reviews do provide helpful information,”(因为用户评论确
实提供了有用的信息)可推知,此处为因为用户评论确实提供了有用的信息,所以评论作为一个整体不应
该被否定。故可猜测划线单词 repudiated 为“拒绝,否定”的意思,结合选项 B 项 Dismissed“驳回,不理会”
意思相近。故选 B 项。
31.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Check more than one review source. Pardes advises consumers to read reviews on
multiple platforms. “If you’re about to book a $10,000 vacation, you’d never rely only on the photos and the
reviews posted by that hotel’s marketing team,” he says. “You are going to want to use a third-party independent
resource.” Read more than a handful of reviews. Pardes says there is “safety in numbers.” Question perfection.
Pardes says consumers shouldn’t trust reviews that show only five stars. “Nobody’s perfect so you can’t possibly
have a perfect five-star review in every single category of your business.” he says”(检查多个评审源。Pardes 建
议消费者阅读多个平台上的评论。他说:“如果你打算花 1 万美元预订一次度假,你绝对不会只依赖酒店营销
团队发布的照片和评论。”“你会想要使用第三方独立资源。”多读一些评论。帕德斯说,“人多安全”。完美
2 / 7
{#{QQABLY6EggCoABJAAAhCUwVACkIQkAGACAoOQBAAsAABwAFABAA=}#}
的问题。Pardes 说,消费者不应该相信只有 5 颗星的评论。“没有人是完美的,所以你不可能在你的业务的
每一个类别中都获得完美的五星级评价。他说。)可知,最后一段主要讲的是如何最大限度地利用在线评
论。故选 C 项。
D 篇 A 篇【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“希望循环”所带来的问题,同时文章就如何正确回收提出建议。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing
more harm than good.(然而,一项新的研究表明,我们对可持续发展的渴望可能弊大于利)”和“this is because of
“wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the
recycling bin. (这是因为“希望循环”——认为一次性咖啡杯和比萨饼盒等物品如果放入回收箱就会被回收)”
可知,“希望循环”的真相是人们认为把垃圾扔进回收箱就会被回收。由此可推知,这是一种帮助回收利用的
好意。故选 B。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段中“This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is
increasing both in households and businesses.(这表明,尽管人们越来越注重环保,但在家庭和企业中,“希望
循环”的数量都在增加)”可知,近年来,“希望循环”的数量正在不断增加。故选 A。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段中“When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number
in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. (当谈到塑料时,Biffa 建议检查树脂代码,
即塑料三角形中的数字,以了解它是否应该放入回收箱)”可知,检查塑料的树脂代码,看看它是否可回收,
这是合适的回收方法,故选 C。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable
maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” —
assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In
fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the
correct bin going to landfill. (然而,一项新的研究表明,我们对可持续发展的渴望可能弊大于利。据废品处理
公司 Biffa 称,这是因为“希望循环”——假设一次性咖啡杯和比萨饼盒等物品如果放入回收箱就会被回收
利用。事实上,来自这些物品或其他不可回收物品的污染会导致已经放入正确垃圾箱的可回收物品被送往
垃圾填埋场)”可知,文章主要讲述了“希望回收”所带来的问题,同时文章就如何正确回收提出建议,由此可
推知,D 项“希望循环:一个日益关注的问题”适合做文章标题。故选 D。
七选五 BACED
【答案与解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者通过写作治愈了自己的抑郁症的故事。
1.根据上文“Last year, I fell into a deep depression. It was caused by a car accident. I was in physical recovery
from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my
apartment.(去年,我陷入了深深的抑郁。它是由一场车祸造成的。我的身体正在从事故中恢复,突然我所有
的旧伤开始出现。我发现自己在公寓的地板上哭了)”可知,作者因抑郁症,新伤旧伤并发,躺在公寓的地板
上哭泣,此时的感受是绝望的。故 B 选项“我没有看到出路”符合语境。故选 B。
2.根据上文“Let’s pause for a moment. I don’t want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also don’t want to
cover my reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I’m still a work in progress.(让
3 / 7
{#{QQABLY6EggCoABJAAAhCUwVACkIQkAGACAoOQBAAsAABwAFABAA=}#}
我们暂停一下。我不想让你和我一起流血或同情我。但我也不想掩盖我的现实。事实上,在你在互联网上
看到的那些闪亮的照片下面,我还在努力)”以及后文“Like all of us, I’m doing the best I can and making the best
choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lying on the floor.(就像我们所有人一样,我在尽我所能,
做出最好的选择。回到那天晚上,我发现自己躺在地板上)”可知,第二段讲述了作者直面真实的自己,上文
提到作者在背后仍然在努力,即并不像照片那样完美。故 A 选项“我并不完美”符合语境。故选 A。
3.根据上文“There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of
escape from the thoughts swimming in my head.(有一个电视节目我非常喜欢。我开始写同人小说。它为我提
供了一个美丽的地方,让我可以逃离脑海中游弋的思绪)”可知作者开始写 fan fiction(同人小说),这给作者提
供了思想的去处,所以作者的抑郁症开始烟消云散了。故 C 选项“抑郁症开始好转”符合语境。故选 C。
4.根据上文“And so here we are.(所以我们就在这里)”以及后文“Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns.(当
然,读者会喜欢其中的曲折)”可知,“here we are”说明作文将思路从回忆中拉回现实,来到了新书发布的时
刻。根据下文可知,读者会喜欢书中故事的千回百转,说明此题肯定会提到书。故 E 选项“书出版的前一天”
符合语境。故选 E。
5.根据后文“I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world.
The very same thing that saved me last year.(我写这本书是为了帮助人们。给他们一个归属感。一个谈论这个
虚构世界的地方。就是去年救了我的那件事)”故由下文可知,作者写书的真实目的不是因为在书中看到自己
的影子,而是意图帮助那些曾经和他有一样经历的人。故 D 选项“但那不是我真正的动机”符合语境。故选 D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动画电影《长安》。
1.考查谓语动词。句意:作为一部让唐朝(618-907)一些最具标志性的诗人复活的史诗,备受期待的动画
电影《长安》于 7 月 8 日在全国上映。根据时间状语 on July 8 可知,句子描述过去的情况,应用一般过去
时,release 与主语 movie 之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语 movie 是单数,be 动词应
用 was。故填 was released。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影是追光动画工作室的第七部作品,该工作室自 2013 年成立以来一直
被称为“中国的皮克斯”。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,refer 与逻辑主语 Light Chaser Animation
Studios 之间是被动关系,空处应用过去分词形式 referred 作后置定语。故填 referred。
3.考查名词。句意:这部电影是追光动画工作室的第七部作品,该工作室自 2013 年成立以来一直被称为“中
国的皮克斯”。空处用于形容词性物主代词 its 之后,应用名词 establishment,表示“成立,建立”,符合题意。
故填 establishment。
4.考查副词。句意:它在中国电影和评论网站豆瓣满分十分中获得了八分的评分,这对于一部中国动画电
影来说是非同寻常的高。空处修饰形容词 high,应用副词形式作状语,unusually 是副词,表示“非同寻常地”,
符合题意。故填 unusually。
5.考查形容词最高级。句意:《长安》时长 168 分钟,是迄今为止中国动画电影中最长的一部,展现了李
白和他的密友、著名诗人高适在王朝从鼎盛时期过渡到动荡时期长达数十年的友谊。结合语意可知,句子
表示《长安》是迄今为止中国动画电影中最长的一部,空处应用形容词的最高级形式 longest,表示“最长的”,
符合题意。故填 longest。
6.考查冠词。句意:《长安》时长 168 分钟,是迄今为止中国动画电影中最长的一部,展现了李白和他的
密友、著名诗人高适在王朝从鼎盛时期过渡到动荡时期长达数十年的友谊。结合语意以及常识可知,高适
是一位著名的诗人,空处应用不定冠词表示泛指,renowned 是辅音音素开头的单词,前边应用不定冠词 a。
故填 a。
7.考查名词复数。句意:这是由安禄山领导的叛乱引起的,安禄山曾是玄宗最宠爱的将领之一。“one of+
复数可数名词”为固定搭配,表示“……之一”,所以空处应用名词的复数形式 generals。故填 generals。
8.考查定语从句。句意:与邹静共同执导这部电影的谢俊伟表示,在创作过程中,他曾多次前往西安寻找
灵感。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词 Xie Junwei,先行词指人,关系词在从
句中作主语,应用关系代词 who 引导从句。故填 who。
9.考查介词。句意:他透露,陕西历史博物馆展出的雕塑和古画为电影提供了宝贵的创意。provide sb. with
sth.为固定短语,表示“为某人提供某物”,符合题意,所以空处应用介词 with。故填 with。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:一位观众说:“每个中国人都有一个唐梦,这部电影把我带回了大唐帝国,激
励我感受到终极的理想主义、浪漫主义和包容性。”分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,inspire 与逻辑
主语 this movie 之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式 inspiring 作状语。故填 inspiring。

Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees too.” Grabbing the camera in my hand, I
added with excitement, “I’ve got a plan! I’ll show them the photos of Kabir’s magical forest!” Seeing Uncle and
Kabir’s encouraging smile, I immediately set down to work, busy pressing my shutter. With the big plan--restoring
our village with clean water supply in 10 years haunting in my mind, bubbling inside my heart was thrill and hope
for a new life. When Uncle and I went back to the village and showed these wonderful pictures to my neighbors,
they were stunned by the beauty of the forest. “It was the trees that turned the place into a paradise!” We then
explained our tree-planting plan to the villagers, which was quickly accepted by all of them.
In the years that followed, people in our village worked hard to carry out our plan. We started to plant trees
by rolling our sleeves up, digging holes, setting saplings into holes and covering them with soil, which has
eventually helped protect the soil and stopped the land from eroding. Thanks to the trees, the water has been
purified and we finally have clean and stable water supply. Years witnessed our great endeavor and our perspiration
eventually paid off. Our village is now surrounded by small thriving forests with blooming flowers, lively animals
and crystal-clear streams running through. Standing under the trees and enjoying the stroke of gentle breeze, I heard
birds chirping between branches as if celebrating for our fruitful achievement and praising for our wise
choice-doing something right and turning our life back on track with our respect and worship for our Mother
Nature.

The new member to the UAE’s astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.
Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 4000 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation’s 9.8 million citizens into space.
The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.
“They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon,” says the 28-year-old, who represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National Petroleum Construction Company.
AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.
“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineer was highlighted,” she said.
Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.
AlMatrooshi’s fellow trainee astronaut, UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says astronaut training has been “a big career change”.
“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence,” says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything—suddenly I’m changing my path.”
“I’m a big fan of SpaceX, the rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually.”
24.What preparation have they made before the training program
A.They have learned to deal with the press. B.They have had cruel survival training.
C.They have grasped their native language. D.They have done some weightlessness training.
25.Which is the major factor for AlMatrooshi to be a member of the training program
A.She got help from her academic parents. B.She has had a big dream since her childhood.
C.She has experience in big construction projects. D.She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.
26.What does the underlined part “I’m changing my path” refer to
A.I’ll be a master of life. B.I’m an enthusiast for SpaceX.
C.I’m settling my new problem. D.I’m starting a new life from scratch.
27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.The fans of Space X B.Dream and achievements
C.Passion and preparations D.Future astronaut training program

In the world of online shopping, many online purchases are based on careful consideration of star ratings and product reviews left by complete strangers. But should you trust customer reviews when deciding what to purchase And do these mysterious reviewers have your best interests in mind Here’s what you need to know.
Consumers today are skeptical, says Zach Pardes at review platform Trustpilot. “We live in a time when trust is completely under attack,” Pardes says. “so people are reading reviews and consuming them more than ever before, but I think there is a healthy skepticism at times of what they’re reading. Fake(假的) reviews do exist. Fake reviews include, but aren’t limited to, robot-generated reviews and reviews that are influenced by the seller.”
Of course, not all user reviews you read online are fake. High-quality reviews are a valuable tool when making a variety of purchases. Pardes says Trustpilot features a team in place to detect and remove fake reviews. Perhaps one of the best-known review websites is Yelp. “Yelp takes measures to ensure high-quality content,” says Kathleen Liu, a company spokesperson. That includes allowing Yelp’s community of business owners and users to flag content that may go against the site’s terms of service.
Since user reviews do provide helpful information, review as a whole shouldn’t be repudiated. But how can you tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not It’s close to impossible for the everyday consumer. But if you conduct your investigation carefully, you can make an informed purchase.
Check more than one review source. Pardes advises consumers to read reviews on multiple platforms. “If you’re about to book a $10,000 vacation, you’d never rely only on the photos and the reviews posted by that hotel’s marketing team,” he says. “You are going to want to use a third-party independent resource.” Read more than a handful of reviews. Pardes says there is “safety in numbers.” Question perfection. Pardes says consumers shouldn’t trust reviews that show only five stars. “Nobody’s perfect so you can’t possibly have a perfect five-star review in every single category of your business.” he says.
28.What does Pardes imply about consumers in Paragraph2
A.They are often influenced by sellers. B.They must have long lost trust in sellers.
C.They often fail to recognize fake reviews. D.They should be cautious of product reviews now.
29.What do Yelp and Trustpilot have in common
A.Both aim to offer real user reviews. B.Both produce robot-generated reviews.
C.Both hire professionals to rate companies. D.Both serve mainly like-minded business owners.
30.What does the underlined word “repudiated” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Overestimated. B.Dismissed. C.Hidden. D.Blamed.
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Where to look for reliable reviews. B.The truth behind five-star ratings.
C.How to make full use of online reviews. D.The significance of informed purchases.
D
Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable may be doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cups and pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.”
Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.
The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled. When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often cannot go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies.
“It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’—sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton.
32. What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph
A. The desire to lead a sustainable life.
B. The good intention to help recycling.
C. The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills.
D. The practice of recycling items that cannot be recycled.
33. What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis
A. Wish-cycling is on the rise in recent years.
B. People are becoming more eco-conscious.
C. Pollution happens less frequently in recycling facilities.
D. People are used to cleaning recyclable waste before putting it in the bin.
34. Which of the following is a proper way of recycling
A. Dispose of electronics together with household waste.
B. Skip the step of checking the on-packaging recycling label.
C. Check the resin code of plastics to see whether it is recyclable or not.
D. Cut off the top of old pizza box and throw the rest to the recycling bin.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Recycling: A Big Project B. Wish-cycling: A New Trend
C. Pre-cycling: An Effective Method D. Wish-cycling: A Growing Concern

Last year, I fell into a deep depression. It was caused by a car accident. I was in physical recovery from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment. 1 I didn’t want to feel this way anymore.
Let’s pause for a moment. I don’t want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also don’t want to cover my reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I’m still a work in progress. 2 Like all of us, I’m doing the best I can and making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lying on the floor.
What happened next I started writing.
There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head. 3 I started to feel like myself again.
After completing four-part fan fiction totaling around 12,000 words, I had an idea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me.
I continued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didn’t know I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I finally made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No pen name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the Internet.
And so here we are. 4 Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. 5 I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.
If the story provides this to just one person, I’ve done my job.
A.I’m not perfect.
B.I didn’t see a way out.
C.The depression started to lift.
D.But that’s not my real motivation.
E.The day before the release of the book.
F.Sometimes I even feel I am the character.
G.I’ve become a successful writer of many books.

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。
I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.
Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding. Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump did have clean water, we had to wait in line for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometres to the closest stream.
But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove me to Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. You can take photos of what you see.”
The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we got off, there was ... nothing in front of us. “I don’t want to take pictures of this,” I complained.
Uncle laughed, “Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.
“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked towards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland is now a paradise(天堂).
Uncle introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you like animals. Are you ready to see some ” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places. All because of the efforts of one man.
Like Uncle said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, rhinos, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding(侵蚀).
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: Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees too.”
____________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: In the years that followed, people in our village worked hard to carry out our plan.
