You need to pay for this trip by Friday. The cost is 6.50 for admission to the Ocean Park and 2.00 towards the cost of the coach. So, that means the amount you need is 8.50. Now, it’s very important for you to bring your lunch. We will provide water and some fruit, so don’t worry about that. We’re going to eat on the beach in front of the Ocean Park, and there won’t be a chance to buy anything, so you must bring your own. It’s going to be a really interesting trip. There are a few special events the day we are going. We’re going to watch the sharks being fed at 3: 00 o'clock, no, hold on, that’s at 2: 30. There’s also a talk every morning at 11. The topics change everyday and often they talk about fish, but on the day we’re going — that’s next Tuesday — it’s about penguins, so I’m sure you’ll all love that. We’ll give you some worksheets to do while you’re at the Ocean Park, but don’t worry, they’ll be quite easy.

Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it ” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. (轨迹)
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve (包含) a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality (平等) can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot strictness and authority (权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic (民主) process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
24. The underlined word “gulf” in Para. 3 most probably means _________.
A. interest B. problem C. difference D. separation
25. Which of the following show that the generation gap is disappearing
A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
B. Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.
C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D. Parents share more interests with their children.
26. What is the change in today’s parent-child relationship
A. More confusion among parents
B. New equality between parents and children
C. Less respect for parents from children
D. More strictness and authority on the part of parents
27. The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with
B. discuss the change of the parent-child relationship
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship
D. stress the importance of parent-child relationship
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述父母与子女之间的代沟随着时代的变化而产生的一些改变，以及这些改变给亲子关系的影响。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话“There was just a complete gap in taste.(品位上有巨大的鸿沟)”和第三段中的“From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.(从服装、发型到活动和期望，早期的父母和孩子似乎在不同的轨道上运行)”可知，划线词所在句Music was not the only gulf.意为“音乐不是唯一的分歧”。所以划线词与difference意思接近。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段首句“Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends.(父母和子女如今穿着相似，听着相同的音乐，并且像朋友一样相处)”以及第二句中“talk about interests both enjoy(谈论双方都喜欢的兴趣)”可知，如今的父母与孩子有更多的共同兴趣和爱好，说明代沟在慢慢消失。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段“But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.(但是家庭专家警告说新型的平等关系也会导致对家长的不尊重)”及第一段首句“Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends.(父母和子女如今穿着相似，听着相同的音乐，并且像朋友一样相处)”可知，如今亲子关系的改变就在于形成了新的公平型关系。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文，由首段“more distant relationship with his parents(和父母之间关系的疏远)”，到第二、三段举例说明和父母之间的代沟，以及第四、五、六段论述了新型的平等型的亲子关系和最后两段论述亲子关系变化的历程和形成良好亲子关系的途径。由此可知，全篇的目的是讨论亲子关系的发展。故选B项。
C
Sometimes there’s nothing better than the “rush” you feel when you’re going at high speeds. Or the wonder of going somewhere new and different, climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports like snowboarding or parachuting. These are the adventures we “thrill seekers” live for. But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down.
Recently, I went quad biking (越野摩托车)-or ATV driving-on a dirt track in the mountains outside of Beijing. After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets, sped up our engines and got onto the track. The sound of the engine roaring was thrilling. As I got more confident, I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I sped ahead of the others. I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed.
Luckily, I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV. Had I not, I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it. I might have even broken my neck. It ended up turning out fine, apart from some pain in my chest for a week or so. This was a pleasant surprise for my friend. After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have very well died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day.
That event was one I’ll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures- but be smart while you’re on them!
28. What did the author do before starting his quad biking adventure
A. He checked the engine of his ATV repeatedly.
B. He shared his experience with other drivers.
C. He received some guidance and waited.
D. He made a personal survey of the track.
29. What does the underlined word “overtaking” in paragraph 2 most likely mean
A. Following. B. Directing.
C. Going past. D. Talking with.
30. What happened when the author tried to race down a small hill
A. He hit his friend’s ATV. B. He slowed down gradually.
C. He broke his neck and leg. D. He lost control of his ATV.
31. What’s the main message the author wants to convey in the text
A. Accidents are a natural part of adventures.
B. It is fun to live an adventurous life.
C. Never be afraid of pushing our limits in life.
D. We should keep safety in mind while on an adventure.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者有一次在北京郊外骑全地形车时因为冲得太快翻车受伤的经历，作者在这次经历后感悟到勇于冒险是件好事，但明智和谨慎也很重要。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets, sped up our engines and got onto the track.(经过简短的指导练习和漫长的等待后，我们戴上头盔，加速引擎，上了赛道。)”可知，作者在开始他的四轮自行车冒险之前得到了一些指导，等待了。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“I sped ahead of the others(我在其他人前面加速前进)”可知，作者忍不住超过其他的人，因此overtaking的意思是“超过”，和going past意思相近，故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed.(我转向一座小山，冲了下来。我很快发现，这是一个很大的错误。我的全地形车全速翻了。)”可知，当作者试图从一座小山上冲下来时他的全地形车失控了。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures- but be smart while you’re on them!(勇于冒险是件好事，但明智和谨慎也很重要。所以，去冒险吧——但在冒险的时候要聪明！)”可知，作者在文章中想要传达的主要信息是我们在冒险时要牢记安全。故选D。

If you remain with low self confidence, you can expect your life to continue as it is. Nothing will change. You will think poorly of yourself and, following your lead, others will too.
There are many disadvantages related with low self confidence. Having a sour mood and misunderstanding what other people say and do will lead to unrepairable relationships. You’ll expect people to say no to you because you’re unworthy. Others will distance themselves from you and you’ll spend most of your time alone.
You’ll get angry easily and avoid social situations in order to protect yourself. When people want to be close to you, you’ll fail to behave naturally and build a healthy relationship. When relationships don’t work out well, you believe there is something entirely wrong with you, and this makes your self confidence decrease even further.
When you have low self confidence, you find it difficult to identify and achieve goals in your life. You don’t realize your life’s purpose. There’s no reason to try to devote to others since you have little value yourself. You feel there’s nothing important that you have to give. Instead, you protect yourself from what you consider to be a dangerous world.
Sooner or later, your low self confidence and emotional anxiety you’re experiencing will lead to a breakdown of your physical body. When you’re sad, depressed, and angry, your cells age and die more quickly. You may even put yourself into drugs, alcohol or other harmful things. Because you don’t feel you’re worthy, you don’t take care of yourself by eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep and the medical attention you need.
Not a pretty picture. This isn’t what you want for your life. But there is good news! You don’t have to live like that. You can create a better life for yourself, knowing your value, achieving your goals, and being happy and excited about life. By learning how to be self confident, you’re telling yourself that it’s time for a change. That’s exactly what you need to be doing right now.
32. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The effects of low self confidence. B. The importance of self confidence.
C. Some reasons for low self confidence. D. Some suggestions for building self confidence.
33. Which is the main character of people with low self confidence
A. They often over protect themselves. B. They often forget their goals of life.
C. They often rely on others too much. D. They often find other people’s mistakes.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Confident people are more likely to succeed.
B. Low self confidence is bad for physical health.
C. People with low self confidence care little about others.
D. Physical breakdowns often lead to low confidence.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To praise confident people. B. To ask people to accept the reality.
C. To encourage people to build confidence. D. To suggest people find their life goals.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了自信心不足可能造成的各方面的不良后果。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you remain with low self confidence, you can expect your life to continue as it is. Nothing will change. You will think poorly of yourself and, following your lead, others will too.(如果你仍然缺乏自信，你可以期待你的生活继续下去。什么都不会改变。你会自卑，别人也会效仿你)”以及第二段中“There are many disadvantages related with low self confidence.(自信不足有很多坏处)”可知，全文主要论述了自信心低可能造成的不良后果。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“You’ll get angry easily and avoid social situations in order to protect yourself. When people want to be close to you, you’ll fail to behave naturally and build a healthy relationship.(你很容易生气，为了保护自己而避免社交场合。当人们想要亲近你时，你就不能表现得自然，也不能建立健康的关系)”和第四段中“Instead, you protect yourself from what you consider to be a dangerous world.(相反，你保护自己远离你认为危险的世界)”可知，自信心不足的人会回避与他人交往，因为他们存在“世间险恶”想要逃离的念头，因此经常过度保护自己。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Sooner or later, your low self confidence and emotional anxiety you’re experiencing will lead to a breakdown of your physical body. When you’re sad, depressed, and angry, your cells age and die more quickly. You may even put yourself into drugs, alcohol or other harmful things. Because you don’t feel you’re worthy, you don’t take care of yourself by eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep and the medical attention you need.(你所经历的自卑和情绪焦虑迟早会导致你身体的崩溃。当你悲伤、沮丧和愤怒时，你的细胞衰老和死亡得更快。你甚至可能沉溺于毒品、酒精或其他有害的东西。因为你觉得自己没有价值，所以你没有通过正确的饮食、锻炼、充足的睡眠和你需要的医疗照顾来照顾自己)”可推知，低自信对身体也是有害的。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“You can create a better life for yourself, knowing your value, achieving your goals, and being happy and excited about life. By learning how to be self confident, you’re telling yourself that it’s time for a change. That’s exactly what you need to be doing right now.(你可以为自己创造更好的生活，知道自己的价值，实现自己的目标，对生活感到快乐和兴奋。通过学习如何变得自信，你在告诉自己是时候改变了。这正是你现在需要做的)”可推知，作者写最后一段的目的在于试图说服自信心不足的人积极寻求改变，学着建立自信。故选C。

67. 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。
There are many things in senior middle school that I still remember clearly. I studied three years in a country school, which is faraway. However, it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers, so I loved the school and all my teachers very much. One Friday, just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to read in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t read books in silence would have to answer her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behaviour.
But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one corner of the room I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy ” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students communicated with each other.
After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. Hill’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day ” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear.
Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt(内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me.” I thought. Then, I summoned up(鼓起) my courage to stand up, worried about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around.
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。
To my surprise, no one followed me and I was the only one in the classroom standing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
To my surprise, no one followed me and I was the only one in the class room standing. I lowered my head, alone and filled with fear. After looking around for a while, Mrs. Hill walked towards me. Strangely, she asked in a soft voice, “Why did you dare to stand up ” I said I wanted to be honest and that I realized what I had done was wrong. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hill was quite amazed by my answer and praised me for that. Then she returned to the front of the classroom and explained why we should be honest.
With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement another student stood up. Then more students followed until about half of the students stood up. Seeing it, Mrs. Hill praised us for our courage. Then, she asked us to sit down. We continued reading books. After we finished, Mrs. Hill reminded us to remember that everyone should be responsible for his behaviour. We all agreed with her. And I was happy that in a way I set a good example to my classmates.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对于初中生活“诚实坦率”事件的回忆。初中的Mrs. Hill老师是一个严格的老师，一次，她需要暂时离开教室，叮嘱学生继续默读。但是，她刚出去，学生们就开始说话讨论，包括作者自己。Mrs. Hill回到教室，要求说话的学生主动站起来，彼时只有作者自己一人勇敢地站起来并承认了错误。Mrs. Hill听到作者的对于自己错误的承认后，很是欣慰，并再次强调了诚实的重要性。果然，不少学生在这样的鼓励下，都主动站起来承认错误。令作者感到高兴的是，他成为了诚实的好榜样。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“To my surprise, no one followed me and I was the only one in the class room standing.(令我惊讶的是，没有人跟着我（一起站起来），教室里只有我一个人站着。)”可知，第一段可描写作者独自站起来之后，老师的反应，询问原因以及给予鼓励。
②由第二段首句内容“With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up.(在Mrs. Hill的鼓励下，另一名学生站了起来。)”可知，第二段可描写其他学生在老师的鼓励下站起来承认错误之后，老师感到欣慰并对学生给予表扬，强调诚实的重要性。

Is this a good thing Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it ” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. (轨迹)
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve (包含) a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality (平等) can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot strictness and authority (权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic (民主) process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”

Sometimes there’s nothing better than the “rush” you feel when you’re going at high speeds. Or the wonder of going somewhere new and different, climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports like snowboarding or parachuting. These are the adventures we “thrill seekers” live for. But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down.
Recently, I went quad biking (越野摩托车)-or ATV driving-on a dirt track in the mountains outside of Beijing. After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting, we put on our helmets, sped up our engines and got onto the track. The sound of the engine roaring was thrilling. As I got more confident, I couldn’t help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance. Finally, the way forward opened up and I sped ahead of the others. I turned toward a small hill and raced down. As I soon found out, this was a big mistake. My ATV turned over at full speed.
Luckily, I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV. Had I not, I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it. I might have even broken my neck. It ended up turning out fine, apart from some pain in my chest for a week or so. This was a pleasant surprise for my friend. After seeing the accident, he said to me, “Dude, I thought you were dead.” Perhaps I could have very well died, if I hadn’t been lucky that day.
That event was one I’ll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s still really important to be wise and careful too. So, go on adventures- but be smart while you’re on them!
28. What did the author do before starting his quad biking adventure
A. He checked the engine of his ATV repeatedly.
B. He shared his experience with other drivers.
C. He received some guidance and waited.
D. He made a personal survey of the track.
29. What does the underlined word “overtaking” in paragraph 2 most likely mean

C. Going past. D. Talking with.
30. What happened when the author tried to race down a small hill
A. He hit his friend’s ATV. B. He slowed down gradually.
C. He broke his neck and leg. D. He lost control of his ATV.
31. What’s the main message the author wants to convey in the text
A. Accidents are a natural part of adventures.
B. It is fun to live an adventurous life.
C. Never be afraid of pushing our limits in life.
D. We should keep safety in mind while on an adventure.
D
If you remain with low self confidence, you can expect your life to continue as it is. Nothing will change. You will think poorly of yourself and, following your lead, others will too.
There are many disadvantages related with low self confidence. Having a sour mood and misunderstanding what other people say and do will lead to unrepairable relationships. You’ll expect people to say no to you because you’re unworthy. Others will distance themselves from you and you’ll spend most of your time alone.
You’ll get angry easily and avoid social situations in order to protect yourself. When people want to be close to you, you’ll fail to behave naturally and build a healthy relationship. When relationships don’t work out well, you believe there is something entirely wrong with you, and this makes your self confidence decrease even further.
When you have low self confidence, you find it difficult to identify and achieve goals in your life. You don’t realize your life’s purpose. There’s no reason to try to devote to others since you have little value yourself. You feel there’s nothing important that you have to give. Instead, you protect yourself from what you consider to be a dangerous world.
Sooner or later, your low self confidence and emotional anxiety you’re experiencing will lead to a breakdown of your physical body. When you’re sad, depressed, and angry, your cells age and die more quickly. You may even put yourself into drugs, alcohol or other harmful things. Because you don’t feel you’re worthy, you don’t take care of yourself by eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep and the medical attention you need.
Not a pretty picture. This isn’t what you want for your life. But there is good news! You don’t have to live like that. You can create a better life for yourself, knowing your value, achieving your goals, and being happy and excited about life. By learning how to be self confident, you’re telling yourself that it’s time for a change. That’s exactly what you need to be doing right now.
32. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The effects of low self confidence. B. The importance of self confidence.
C. Some reasons for low self confidence. D. Some suggestions for building self confidence.
33. Which is the main character of people with low self confidence
A. They often over protect themselves. B. They often forget their goals of life.
C. They often rely on others too much. D. They often find other people’s mistakes.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Confident people are more likely to succeed.
B. Low self confidence is bad for physical health.
C. People with low self confidence care little about others.
D. Physical breakdowns often lead to low confidence.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To praise confident people. B. To ask people to accept the reality.
C. To encourage people to build confidence. D. To suggest people find their life goals.

67. 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。
There are many things in senior middle school that I still remember clearly. I studied three years in a country school, which is faraway. However, it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers, so I loved the school and all my teachers very much. One Friday, just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to read in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t read books in silence would have to answer her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behaviour.
But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one corner of the room I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy ” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students communicated with each other.
After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. Hill’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day ” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear.
Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt(内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me.” I thought. Then, I summoned up(鼓起) my courage to stand up, worried about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around.
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。
To my surprise, no one followed me and I was the only one in the classroom standing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up.
