Although I had quite a few activities, I hadn't taken any official leadership position.This 2 changed when I received an e-mail from Ms. Griffith, my headteacher, 3 that a new female DC Rep was needed. DC Rep 4 Discipline mittee Representative. 5 boarding school students break serious rules, like using 6 , getting drunk or cheating in their studies. The punishments given to such students are 7 by a DC Rep. I was really interested in being DC Rep, 8 so were five other students. We had to hold 9 and Ms. Griffith asked us to write 10 to be sent to her.I thought it hard to write. I didn't want to make any 11 , because they are difficult to keep. I didn't want to say I was experienced, because I was not. So I started my speech by explaining 12 I wanted to bee a DC Rep. "I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn how American boarding schools carry out discipline," I wrote 13 .I made three 14 that said "Vote For Teresa" and put them on every exit of my dorm so that people would 15 my name when they want to vote.

The price was reasonable and the food was of good quality, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant is always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a menu(菜单), The menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine. while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous(慷慨) than he really was.1. Why didn’t people e to the White Rose Restaurant to eat at first?A. Because the price was high.B. Because the food was too cheap.C. Because the food was not good.D. The passage didn’t mention.2. According to the passage we can conclude that the people who eat at this restaurant are mostly _______.A. poor old peopleB. rich young peopleC. men with their girl friendsD. parents with their children3. The difference between the two kinds of menu lie in _______.A. the colorB. the shapeC. the priceD. the food4.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago,but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. T o pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution es in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for a ll living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.1. _______, our world is being much smaller.A. Because of the rise in pollutionB. Thanks to science developmentC. Because the earth is being polluted day and nightD. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year2. Hundreds of years ago, life was __________ it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. much harder thanD. as hard as3. Pollution es in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means _______.A. rubbish(垃圾)B. noise pollutionC. air pollutionD. water pollution4. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.(C)One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily worki ng at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug(小虫子) in his ear—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face,or his walk, that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s silly to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him. “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”1. According to the writer, greetings such as “How do you feel?” _______.A. show one’s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy2. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable whenasked of _______.A. a man working at his deskB. a person having lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD. a friend who is ill3. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his _______.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. abilityD. politeness4. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve _______.A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warning(D)The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to bee well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who e from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists e to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does e from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, andthat is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air bees very cool. Sometimes people plain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people e back again wearing warm coats.1. This passage mainly introduces _______.A. a mountain cityB. young musiciansC. an opera houseD. the tourism in Santa Fe2. Young singers e to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _______.A. the music quality is highB. they enjoy the climate thereC. they want to be famousD. they like the scenery there3. It seems surprising that Santa Fe bees famous because _______.A. it is only a very small placeB. it is between the mountain and desertC. all the seats are sold for every showD. musicians there are from the best orchestras4. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. the opera house is open without any roofsB. musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC. the government advertises to attract more musiciansD. performances are held in Santa Fe only after it is dark(E)Summer Holiday Fun xx !The summer holidays are upon us again.

As a climate research scientist, she has spent much of the career explaining that global food production adapts to a changing climate.Cynthia, who describes herself as a climate scientist, grew up in a village near New York, an area that led her to live in the country. She moved to Italy with her husband-to-be in her 20s and developed an interest in agriculture. After returning to the United States, she focused her education on agricultural science.She worked as a graduate student at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in the early 1980s, when global climate models were beginning to show the effects of human related CO2 on the global climate. As the only team member studying agriculture, she researched the effect on food production and has been working since then to answer those questions. She completed the first experiment of how climate change will affect food production in North America in 1985 and globally in 1994. Cynthia has studied how farmers can deal with climate change and how agriculture worsens the problem. For example, she wrote a research paper that said global agri-food systems create nearly one-third of the total global greenhouse gases caused by human activity. She added that greenhouse gases come from many parts of food production, including the clearing of forests for farmland.4. What helps Cynthia win the World Food Prize?A．The great success in space research.B．The important role in agricultural studiesC．The study of climate effects on food productionD．The scientific research on global climate change5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Cynthia?A．The research information. B．The chief achievementsC．The family members. D．The life experiences.6. Which of the following can best describe Cynthia?A．Hard-working B．Humorous. C．Easy-going. D．Graceful7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Forests should make room for farmland.B．Food production also affects climate change.C．Farmers rely on climate for food productionD．Agriculture is the main source of greenhouse gas.In the west of the Greek capital Athens, the fish market of Keratsini is busy early in the morning, with trucks waiting nearby to be loaded with fishes. But on his fishing boat, Arapakis sorts out something different—bottles, boots, plastic pipes and fishing nets, all dragged from the bed of the Aegean Sea.“We are swimming in plastic,” said Arapakis, whose family has fished for five generations. “By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea,” he said, as recent reports noted.That morning’s plastic catch weighed “about 100 kilograms,” said the founder of Enaleia, a nonprofit that encourages fishermen to collect marine (海洋的) waste caught in their nets. Since its establishment in 2018, it has worked with more than 1,200 fishermen in Greece to raise concern over the degradation of the marine environment.Active in 42 ports throughout Greece, Enaleia provides fishermen with large bags for marine waste that they can put in garbage cans once back at port. For every kilogram of plastic they deliver, they receive a small amount of money, which is enough for a drink. Since October, fishing crews have dragged out 20 metric tons of plastic and old fishing equipment each month. Nearly 600 tons have been collected over the last five years. The collected plastic is transported to a recycling plant in the industrial area of Megara near Keratsini, to make new products such as socks, swimwear or furniture.Arapakis said he went about the cleanup project after a trip to Greece’s Cyclades islands, where he saw fishermen throwing the waste gathered by their nets back into the sea.Arapakis is convinced there has been a “mentality change” among Greece’s fishermen. “Previously we caught large quantities of plastic, but we only kept the fish. All waste was thrown into the sea,” said Mokharam, team leader on the Arapakis family’s boat. “The project brings practical benefits for fishing boats. In the past, the anchor was often caught by waste, especially nets, and the engine would go out. But now things have changed,” he added.8. What can we learn about Arapakis from the first 2 paragraphs?A．He was a successful fish trader. B．He collected waste from the sea.C．He liked swimming in the sea. D．He had a large family to support.9. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Impact. B．Worsening. C．Improvement. D．Research.10. What will most probably happen to the collected waste in the end?A．It will be sold at a high price. B．It will be exchanged for food.C．It will be thrown back into the sea. D．It will be well dealt with for reuse.11. What can we infer from Mokharam’s words?A．Fishing is a tough job for fishermen. B．The sea in Greece is seriously polluted.C．He thinks highly of the cleanup project. D．He still feels ashamed for fishermen’sbehavior.When Mark Twain first set eves on Hawaii in 1866, he observed that wild cats were everywhere and all of them fat, lazy, and sound asleep. Nearly 160 years later, however, those cats that so delighted Twain are now widely seen as a threat to the islands.Cats were first brought to Hawaii by ship, where they fed on mice. As their number in their new home grew during the 19th century, birds started to disappear. At least 30 types of native birds went extinct between 1870 and 1930 because of cats, according to the US Geological Survey.Hawaiian cats don’t just threaten birds. Toxoplasmosis (弓形虫病) is a disease caused by cats, and then contaminates soil and water through their waste. A new study found that two dolphins died of toxoplasmosis. From these findings the authors suggest that at least 60 dolphins have died of the disease over the past 30 yearsThe great majority of the dolphins included in the study were killed by other means. But “if they do become infected (感染) with Toxoplasmosis, this study suggests t hat they die and they die quickly”, says Kristi West, one of the authors and director of the Health and Stranding Lab at the University of Hawaii.What can be done? The law that could have directed Hawaii Invasive Species Council to kill cats using poisoned (下了毒的) food didn’t pass in the state earlier this year. Animal-lovers use some medical methods to keep them from having baby cats. Ms West suggests that people have to stop deserting (抛弃) these poor cats. She says, “It’s not really a cat problem. It’s a human problem.”12. What’s the function of the first paragraph?A．To tell us Twain’s story.B．To introduce the topic.C．To give us an example of cats.D．To show cats are threatened.13. What does the underlined word “contaminates” mean in paragraph 3?A．Protects. B．Frees C．Keeps D．Pollutes14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．Dolphins are easy to get infected.B．Dolphins are killed in other ways.C．Toxoplasmosis is dangerous to dolphins.D．Toxoplasmosis quickens death of dolphins15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Humans should treat cats well.B．Cats are killed by poisoned food.C．A law has been passed in the state.D．Animal-lovers’ methods are helpful.Close friends have many benefits, but research shows that having “weak-tie” friendships is as valuable — or even more — as strong ones. Sociology professor Mark Granovetter published a study called “The Strength of Weak Ties” in 1973. 16There are two ty pes of “circles” when it comes to a person’s social world: the inner and outer circles. 17 Meanwhile, people whom we talk to but not often belong to the outer circle. Granovetter refers to them as “strong” and “weak” ties. He points out the importance of weak ties when it comes to learning new information and ideas.Some companies design their buildings with the intention of letting people meet by chance in a specific area. For example, Pixar has a large, central hall where employees come across each other and start small talks. Scientists have also found that weak ties create a better, happier atmosphere.18 On the other hand, we run out of (缺少) things to share with our friends when we get the chance to talk to them. Sometimes it’s harder to talk to peo ple we know well because those conversations come with an emotional burden during the pandemic (流行病). But this doesn’t mean we have to stop here.As stated in Granovetter’s work, we get more information from weak ties. Take advantage of the pandemic by asking your friends how they are. 19 This way, we can get ideas to figure out how we should behave. It is pointed out that right now, social media is the best replacement for small talks. Sparking a small talk is a way to show that you care without using much of your time, attention, and energy. 20Michael Cramer is really a miracle (奇迹).

As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way the author constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel A Fare w ell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward(简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However, if you restrict yourself to novels, you will also miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the special sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. So here comes my second suggestion—essays are indispensable.Never follow others’ recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential(有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but alwaysthink and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.4. What discourages the author from reading the first English novel?A. Sentence structures and different ideas.B. The old-fashioned words and phrases.C. Many characters and the plain language.D. Brief description and simple sentences.5. What does t he underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Necessary.B. Challenging.C. Avoidable.D. Inspirational.6. What suggestion does the author give in the last paragraph?A. Challenging us to foreign books.B. Reading as many classics as possible.C. Making book choices by ourselves.D. Comparing books before buying.7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To give comments on literature works.B. To help beginners choose English books.C. To encourage people to read more books.D. To recommend English classics to learners.CExtreme heat often brings extreme wildfires, and this year is no exception, with heat waves fueling giant outbreaks of fires in the western United States and Canada, as well as across the Mediterranean and in Siberia. However, the wildfires can have the opposite effect on temperatures, cooling Earth's surface regionally and globally.Thick wildfire smoke can temporarily block sunlight near the ground, causing regional temperatures to drop by several degrees. Wildfire smoke can also have global cooling effects by forming smoke clouds or blocking sunlight, which is similar to what a volcanic eruption does.Scientists have recently begun studying these effects since Australia’s 2019-2020 bushfireseason. That was the first time researchers detected wildfire smoke-caused global cooling. The effect is far too small to balance human-caused global warming, but beyond that, researchers say it’s too early to predict what it means for the wider climate system. But with fire seasons growing more serious around the world and this summer witnessing much extreme fire weather in North America and elsewhere, the search for answers is growing increasingly emergent.Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research reported that those Australian fires poured so much smoke into the Southern Hemisphere’s (南半球) atmosphere which caused a “strong and rapid” global cooling effect of about 0.06℃ (0.01°F). According to the lead study author John Fasullo, this was largely due to how smoke particles (颗粒) interact with clouds in the lower atmosphere.While Fasullo’s research highlights the cooling effects of smoke in the lower atmosphere, on occasion, wildfire smoke rushes into the higher atmosphere. There, it can have additional effects on the climate, which is something that is poorly known. “We might still be in the initial stage of understanding how large and how important the effects of these wildfires are,” says Sergey Khaykin, a fire weather expert at Sorbonne University in France.8. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Wildfire breaks out more often now.B. Wildfire smoke cools Earth's surface.C. Regional temperatures increase due to wildfire.D. V olcanic eruption affects the upper atmosphere.9. What can we learn about wildfire smoke’s effects from Paragraph 3?A. They are too small to be noticed.B. They can be accurately predicted.C. They deserve a deep study.D. They can improve the global climate.10. How does the author prove the global cooling effect in Paragraph 4?A. By giving an example.B. By telling a story.C. By making comparisons.D. By doing an experiment.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Climate change is in need of a global solution.B. The higher wildfire smoke rushes, the cooler it gets.C. Weather experts are satisfied with Fasullo's research.D. The influence of wildfires needs to be explored further.DRapid advances in artificial intelligence, also called AI, are feared by many in Europe and the US, with scientists warning of wide unemployment. But in Singapore, where foreign workers aren’t allowed to use, leaving many companies struggling for workers, service businesses are increasingly finding automated solutions to their lack of workers.From restaurants to hospitals, robots are being used in a government-backed push to help businesses survive a tight labor market. Louis Tan, chief operating officer of Singapore’s Mount Elizabeth Novena hospital, said: “The government is reducing the number of foreign workers — there is difficulty in hiring even skilled workers. Artificial intelligence has turned out to be one of the solutions.”In a restaurant near the National University of Singapore, dirty dishes are gathered by a robotic waiter that moves between tables chirping: “Could you help me to clear your table?” The machine lacks the ability to pick up cups and plates itself. Instead customers place their used dishes in a tray it carries back to the kitchen. Kannan Thangaraj, the restaurant’s manager, said: “In Singapore it’s very difficult to get workforce from overseas, so it’s very helpful to get a service robot. The customers are coming back because of the robot. They like to see it.”But AI has not been widely welcomed. While there has been a global growth in the use of industrial robots, sales of service sector robots have been left behind. Sales of service robots rose to about 24,000 units in 2014 compared with just under 22,000 the year before. However, analysts predict that the worldwide market for service industry robots is likely to take off, as technical advances allow robots to perform more difficult tasks and work in more complex environments.12. What makes artificial intelligence used in Singapore?A. More profits.B. Lack of labor.C. Customers’ need.D. Wide unemployment.13. What can a service robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Pick up dirty dishes.B. Place dishes on a table.C. Attract customers back.D. Wash used cups and plates.14. What will the future of service robots be like?A. Uncertain.B. Negative.C. Promising.D. Depressing.15. What’s a suitable title of the text?A. AI labour in SingaporeB. Rapid advances in AIC. AI takes off worldwideD.

Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.Seven minutes after her jump, she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky. Hoffner strongly encouraged others to sky-dive like her. “It’s surprisingly affordable and so amazing,” she said.4．What did Hoffner do last Sunday?A．She reported a sports event.B．She managed to sky-dive.C．She celebrated her birthday.D．She wrote a history book.5．How did Hoffner feel after landing on the ground?A．Surprised.B．Anxious.C．Excited.D．Hopeless. 6．Which probably attracted Hoffner most before her jump?A．The falling in the air.B．Her family’s help.C．The low cost of the jump.D．Her friends’ support.7．What can we learn from Hoffner’s story?A．To see is to believe.B．Time tells everything.C．Hard work pays off.D．Age is just a number.Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.8．Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1?A．To express doubts.B．To make a warning.C．To lead in the topic.D．To provide background information. 9．What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study?A．Chores.B．Less homework.C．School activities.D．Learning schedules.10．What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4?A．Tired.B．Nervous.C．Having no time.D．Having the ability.11．What does this text focus on?A．Skills to deal with chores.B．Advantages of doing chores.C．The importance of life skills.D．Ways to balance study and chores.Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.12．What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Unclear D．Uncaring. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening?A．It improves focus.B．It is a waste of time.C．It can keep a body in shape.D．It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 14．How does gardening affect social connection according to the text?A．It contributes to creativity.B．It encourages problem-solving.C．It builds relationships between people.D．It improves people’s awareness of safety.15．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Start a Garden B．Choose a Garden or NotC．What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D．Start Gardening and Get the HealthBenefitsForgiveness (宽恕) is often considered as an important decision to let go of feelings of anger towards someone who you believe has wronged you. However, while you may be quite generous in your ability to forgive others, you can be much harder on yourself. 16 .Accept the result of your actionsForgiving yourself is about more than just putting the past behind you and moving on.17 . Facing what you have done or what has happened is the first step towards self-forgiveness. It’s also the hardest step. If you have been making excuses in order to make them seem acceptable, it is time to accept what you have done.Treat yourself with kindness and compassion (同情)Forgiving yourself requires facing your actions, but it is important to reach this with self-compassion. 18 . Try to be compassionate instead of being self-critical (自我批评的).19Making a correction is an important part of forgiveness, even when the person you are forgiving is yourself. One way to move past your regret is to take action to correct your mistakes.Learn from the experienceForgiving yourself often requires finding a way to learn from the experience and make an active effort to do better in the future. To do this, you need to understand why you behave the way you did and why you feel sorry. What steps can you take to prevent the same behaviors again in the future? 20 , rather than feel sorry about those past mistakes.A．Make a correctionB．Be aware of others’ feelingsC．It is about accepting what has happenedD．The following steps may help you learn how to forgive yourselfE．You need to tell yourself that thoughts are not factsF．Remind yourself of what you learned to guide your actions going forwardG．The key is to treat yourself with the same kindness you show to another person二、完形填空her to keep her body balance when climbing over some rocks.When she reached a part of the beach entrance, she found there was a large step down.

As I signed my classmates’ books, I noticed their moms had written in them, too. “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “Congratulations! We love you and know you h ave a bright future!”I asked my mother to sign mine, too. When she handed it back to me, I was anxious to see what she had written. This is what I found on the page:When a thing is first begun,Never leave it till it’s done.Be the labor great or small.Do it well or not at all.That was it? I was frozen. It was an indication to me that, if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hoped my classmates wouldn’t read it.Do it well or not at all. For years, I battled perfectionism and never felt good enough for most of my life.When my mother was in her eighties, I gave her a book to fill out so we could know more about her. It had questions at the top of each page and then blank space to respond. I sec retly hoped she’d been working on it all along. Sadly, not long after, my mother passed away. When I sorted out her belongings, what I wanted more than anything was that book. What I found stopped me short. On page ten, the question was, “What’s the best advice you got from your parents?” Her response was what she had written in my autograph book. Even though I’d memorized it years ago, I read it at a slower pace now, seeing it in a new light.It was written to her by her mother, and she was passing it down to her daughter in the same way. A gift from her to me. She was giving me treasured, valuable advice when all I was thinking about were words of praise. I understand it now.4. In paragraph 1, the author found that words from other classmates’ moms ________.A．contained reflection on lifeB．expressed their thankfulnessC．showed pride in their childrenD．featured a formal writing style5. Seeing her mom’s words on the autograph book, how did the author feel?A．Disappointed. B．Motivated. C．Hopeful. D．Anxious.6.

What gift did the author’s mom give her?A．A vision of a perfect world.B．Encouragement to do things well.C．Her mom’s wisdom of loving yourself.D．Her mom’s advice on living at a slow pace.If you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm (标准) in commercial aviation for decades.However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true? One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from th e cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a number of flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit (赤字) of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said th ey’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.8. What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text?A．It will make air travel eco-friendly.B．It will switch to single-pilot operations.C．It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.D．It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.9. Wh at does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation?A．Raising the standards in admitting new pilots. B．Making pilots adaptable to different situations.C．Using computers to automate the flight process. D．Gaining piloting support from ground operators.10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．The shortage of pilots. B．The need for new airlines.C．The airlines’ brave innovation.D．The financial problem airlines face. 11. What can be inferred fro m Don Harris’ study?A．The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.B．It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.C．Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.D．Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.No one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your previous state, sometimes with great difficulty.Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise.The connection between interruption and memory came to her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but scarce memory of the orders that were already completed.Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!In compa rison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in the mental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her doctoral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix?Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.12. What is a common practice to finish a task?A．Working in a focused period. B．Working with occasional breaks.C．Working with a stop midway. D．Working in an interrupted session.13. What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experiment?A．Interruption recalls details. B．Interruption betters memory.C．Interruption disturbs balance. D．Interruption reduces productivity.14. Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effect?A．Fashion shows. B．Online news.C．Talk shows. D．TV series.15. What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effect?A．The desire for balance. B．The physical backlog.C．The outside pressure. D．The upcoming tasks.“Beauty is only skin deep” it is said. This means that a person’s appearance is not as important as their character. Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing to spend a fortune on making themselves more attractive physically. 16 The reason can only be one, and it is that beauty has its advantages.Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities.17Another important benefit that good-looking people enjoy is that they find a husband or wife more easily. 18 This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are compatible (和睦相处的) with each other.On the other hand, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well. Firstly, a good-looking person tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. 19 It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character. 20 Also, they should not forget physical beauty is indeed, only skin deep and will not last.I was the new teacher at school, and Clarissa, a fifth-grader, was messy. Clarissa saw no need for_______. “It’s my space!” was most often her _______ when requested by classmates. So the days went by and the _______ began to worsen.“Clarissa, get your purse out of the doorway.I’m tired of tripping over it!” they’d say. I _______ she was beginning to keep herself away from her classmates. I had to find a _______.One afternoon when I sat at my desk looking around the room, an idea sprang into my head. Standing near my desk was an old and _______ filing cabinet (柜). What if Clarissa had some space that was _______ her own?I began to work. I moved her desk and all her things near the cabinet. I selected some clean _______ and cut out a place card.

AHere are four of the most charming villages in Europe,along with our top picks for places to stay in each.Eze in Cota D’Azur,FranceSet on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea,the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region.It is largely a tourist destination,and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age.In fact,Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.Hotel pick:Chateau de la ChevreBaden-Baden in Wurttemberg,GermanyGermany’s best-known spa town,Baden-Baden,in the Black Forest of Baden-Wuttemberg,has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era.And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists,there are also plenty of museums,gardens,performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.Hotel pick:Hotel Belle EpoqueMontepulciano in Tuscany,ItalySpread over a hilltop nearly2,000metres above sea level,the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies.Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the14th century,the village features a handful of churches and public squares.Hotel pick:Etruria ResortOia in Santorini,Greecea ticket as early as possible.The locals are crazy soccer fans,and you’ll find it hard to get a ticket if you don’t wait in the queue early.As you can see,Newcastle is a fascinating city with so much to be offered and so many things to see.You’re sure to have a wonderful time here!8．Most visitors come to Newcastle in order to________.A．watch its soccer team playB．take the local tour busesC．visit the Hancock MuseumD．have a big meal in restaurants9．If you want to learn about the history and culture of Newcastle,you________.A．should go to the GateB．can go on a city tourC．must visit St.James ParkD．must drive your own car10．The underlined word“They”in Para.3refers to“________”．A．history lovers B．local peopleC．city tour buses D．local soccer teams 11．According to the passage,which one is NOT correct?A．The most popular place in Newcastle is the Gate.B．Millennium Bridge is attractive to culture and local history lovers.C．The mood of the locals can’t be influenced by the success or failure of the local team.D．You’d better book a ticket as early as possible if you want to watch the local team play soccer.D“I’m going to tell you a heartbreaking story.”I told my class of high school seniors.All eyes looked up.Nothing quiets a chatty group of teenagers faster than the promise of a story.“In sixth grade,”I began,“I fell in love.His name was David.”The girls were laughing.“So it was Valentine’s Day.I saw one enormous envelope on my desk.My mind raced:‘Who could it be from?’With trembling hands,I tore it open and there was a card.At the bottom I saw the signature and almost fainted:David.Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature.It read,‘To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class’”.Mouths dropped open.Some looked down at their desks,seemingly embarrassed for me.“What did you do?”asked a brave soul.I said.“My eyes filled with tears.It ruined Valentine’s Day for me.It shook what little faith I had in myself for a long time after.But I survived,and it gave me the motivation to undo the cruelty of David.”I smiled.“And that’s why we’re going to have a card exchange.”Their eyes lighted up.“Write something positive and sincere to someone in the class.Even if it’s someone you barely know,there’s always something nice to say.Admire their fashion sense or their basketball skills.Tell them you appreciate their friendly smile.”Looking on as they composed each message was always a treat.But the real fun came when they read what people wrote to them.From then on,I made it a Valentine tradition.After20years of teaching,I harbor few hopes that students will remember all of the vocabulary.But if a student recalls of the lesson they received on Valentine’s Day,to me that makes it all worthwhile.12．What happened on the Valentine’s Day when the author was in sixth grade?A．She broke David’s heart.B．She was made fun of by David.C．She sent David a Valentine card.D．She took the wrong card by mistake. 13．Why did the class have a card exchange?A．To tell personal stories.B．To show fashion sense.C．To express appreciation.D．To share basketball skills. 14．How does the author feel about the outcome of her Valentine tradition?A．Unexpected.B．Valuable.C．Humorous.D．Discouraging. 15．Which is the best title for the text?A．An Exciting Job B．An Honest MistakeC．An Experienced Teacher D．A Valentine's Day Lesson第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.DISASTER SHELTERSOver 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.16．The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.A．increase family incomeB．make full use of farm wasteC．get free and plentiful cooking fuelD．protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke17．What are the features of disaster shelters?A．Light and affordable.B．Heavy and recyclable.C．Big and comfortable.D．Small and breakable.18．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain design methods.B．To introduce new inventions.C．To report research findings.D．To advertise latest products.Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at theOrganization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.19．How did the author feel about taking care of his brother?A．Tired.B．Joyful.C．Proud.D．Stressed.20．The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.A．use and improve his childcare skillsB．create a friendly neighborhoodC．change the lives of other kidsD．get some work experience21．With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.A．control his emotions B．play with his friendsC．poop in the toilet D．stand in the pool22．According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”?A．His large size and strong body.B．His experience and knowledge.C．His patience and trust in Matthew.D．His willingness to take care of his brother.At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken intoconsideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age. 23．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because_______.A．they fail to realize the importance of skillsB．they don’t have the necessary skills in drivingC．certain areas in their brains are not fully developedD．their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions24．What can we learn from the passage?A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.B．Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.D．Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.25．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A．single-sex education may benefit teenagersB．the time when school starts should be put offC．lawmakers will lower the minimum driving ageD．the number of subjects in school might be changed26．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．Age and the Brain B．Genders and the BrainC．Mapping the Brain D．The Developing Brain三、阅读表达阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，完成对该问题的回答。

AThe undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can’t dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water.The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold, and it’s dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side. So many of them find their ways by hearing and feeling.Besides (除了) the cold and darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger --- other animals. Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals’ meal.21. Why do people want to dive in the sea? Because ________.A. they want to catch fishB. they want to find the secrets of the undersea worldC. the sea is deepD. there are all kinds of plants in the sea22. In the daytime, when you dive in the sea, you _________.A. can see everything green and blueB. can’t be in dangerC. can catch nothingD. can’t see anything clearly23. How many dangers will animals meet in the deep sea?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.24. Which of the following is WRONG?A. One animal finds something to eat, and it may be eaten by others.B.

He sat but seconds later，as if he didn't even notice he was doing it，he got up again．I was getting tired，but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up．Could he be more intent（专心）while standing up？ This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe．I was raised to believe that a quiet，calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline （纪律）to study hard，get good grades and become someone important in life．Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality，and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that，we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way．I have stopped asking my son to sit down and focus．Obviously，he is focusing just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things．Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique．It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life．25.At the beginning，the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ______ ．A. keep silent in the roomB. finish his homework on timeC. pay more attention to his studyD. get right answers26.According to the passage，which of the following statements is right？ ______A.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything.I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”. I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow(浅的) water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer indirect sunlight than in the shade. Y et, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad neveronce said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “Y ou need to think like a fish.”Y ears later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in thefollowing chapters(章).28.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A.He could not catch a fish.B.His father was not patient with him.C.His father did not teach him fishing.D.He could not influence a fish as his father did.29.
