Best Places to Visit in January 2024
Argentine Patagonia
Many travelers choose to visit Argentine Patagonia in January due to its warm temperatures and enough daylight hours. Conditions will be ideal for kayaking or rafting on the glacier-fed lakes of the Lake District, located in the northern part of Patagonia. Plus, the weather will be warm enough for a trip to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world and an excellent base for hiking in Tierra del Fuego.
Railay Bench
January is one of the driest months of the year on this Thai peninsula, so you’re likely to encounter sun-soaked days of beaching and kayaking while taking in views of the iconic limestone cliffs. If you’re up for more action, this area is known for its rock climbing, and you’ll also find several caves to explore. Just be sure to book early as accommodations can fill up quickly during the dry season.
Zermatt
Zermatt’s most impressive sight is the world-famous Matterhorn. For breathtaking views, take a cable car to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Europe’s highest mountain station. Here, travelers can explore the attraction’s Glacier Palace, a fascinating attraction with ice tunnels and ever-changing ice sculptures. Thrill seekers can also gaze at this jaw-dropping natural wonder during a helicopter tour, or they can try hiking or skiing one of the area’s 37 other mountains.
St. Kitts & Nevis
This two-island nation boasts excellent sailing conditions, blue waters perfect for snorkeling (潜泳) and forests and volcanoes for those who prefer to explore on land. Plus, if you’re ringing in the new year here, you’ll catch the closing events for the islands’ biggest festival — the St. Kitts and Nevis National Carnival. Regarded as Sugar Mas by the locals, this cull viral celebration makes this one of the sweetest times of year to visit.
1. What can travelers do in Argentine Patagonia
A. Celebrate the sweetest festivals. B. Experience water rides.
C. Explore rocks and caves. D. Relax on the beautiful beaches.
2. Which place may attract adventurous travelers most
A St. Kitts Nevis. B. Railay Beach.
C Argentine Patagonia. D. Zermatt.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A culture magazine. B. An academic paper.
C. A tourism website. D. A science fiction.
B
I arrived home from work, my mind racing, I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot coffee, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never big on novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting, I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
4. How did the author relieve his anxiety
A. By drinking several cups of coffee. B. By watching a funny show on the sofa.
C. By being absorbed in a fascinating book. D. By calling a friend to talk about the worries.
5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A. The author was always a big fan of reading novels.
B. The author lacked enthusiasm for novels from childhood.
C. The author never read any books when the author was young.
D. The author was occupied in the research papers during school.
6. Which words can best describe the author
A. Diligent and self-aware. B. Creative and knowledgeable.
C. Adventurous and thoughtful. D. Ambitious and committed.
7. What can we learn from the author’s story
A. Adversity leads to prosperity. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C. There is no royal road to learning. D. Books and friends should be few but good.
C
A new survey finds the gender gap in home cooking has widened, with women cooking more meals than men in nearly every country worldwide.
Women cooked just under nine meals per week, on average, in 2022. Men cooked about four per week. These are the results of an annual survey by Gallup and Cookpad, which tracks how often people prepare and eat home-cooked meals in countries around the globe.
When the survey began in 2018, traditional gender roles were well established, but during the pandemic years the survey results showed that men were cooking more. This narrowed the gender gap, explains Andrew Dugan, a research director at Gallup, who has worked on the survey since it began. The latest results, which Dugan says come as a surprise, point to a reversal (颠倒) of this trend. In 2022, women continued to cook at about the same frequency, but men started to cook less.
“It’s the first year that the gap actually widened,” Dugan says, pointing out that the gap has reverted back to its starting point in 2018, “What it might suggest is that the traditional gender roles are starting to reassert themselves,” Dugan says.
The gender gap varies by country. In the United States, women cook about two more meals per week on average, than men. The survey report charts the countries with the largest gender gaps, including Ethiopia, Egypt, and Nepal where women are making about eight more meals per week than men. The countries with the smallest gender differences in cooking are clustered (成群的) in Europe, including Spain, the UK, France, and Ireland.
It’s not clear why the gender gap widened in all the other countries including the U. S., but chef Mike Friedman, who operates several restaurants in the Washington D. C. area, has his take. “The survey may not capture the whole picture,” Friedman says, “In my house, lots of meals are collaborations (合作). My wife does a lot of the cooking. But we talk about it and we talk through what we should make tonight. And most times she’ll start and I’ll finish and then I’m always left with the dishes”.
8. What do we know about the survey
A. It began across the U. S. in 2022. B. It indicated men cooked less in 2018.
C. It measured how often people ate out. D. It focused on gender gaps in eating habits.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5
A. Women are more willing to do the cooking.
B. Traditional cooking methods stay unchanged.
C. The researchers come from different countries.
D. Gender gaps in cooking are smaller in richer countries.
10. What can we learn from Friedman’s words
A. Friedman thinks the survey has limitations.
B. Friedman is critical of women’s roles in cooking.
C. Friedman’s household seldom works together on meals.
D. Friedman’s household has a strict division of cooking roles.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Traditional Gender Roles in Cooking B. The Pandemic’s Impact on Home Cooking
C. Chef Friedman Comments on the Survey D. Gender Gap Widens in Home Cooking
D
“We know more about the moon and Mars than we do our own planet,” says Richard Jenkins, founder and CEO of Saildrone, a data and robotics company located in Alameda, California.
Saildrone, founded in 2013, focuses on high-performance, hard-wing sail technology capable of breaking motorless land speed records, reaching speeds of 126. 1 mph. This innovative sail automatically adjusts itself for maximum wind power, a departure from traditional sails.
Saildrone doesn’t sell saildrones; instead, they sell data, and a whole lot of it. A day of saildrone data costs clients around $ 2,500, significantly less than the $ 30,000 daily cost of running a traditional ocean research vessel. And saildrones are also carbon neutral, with the 23-foot Explorer model using just the power of the sun and the wind to complete full year long missions around the world.
These unmanned surface vehicles are equipped with solar-powered sensors that offer real-time tracking data to a control center in Alameda. They monitor weather patterns, CO2 levels, and can provide live storm analysis from the midst of a category 4 hurricane. The data collected is used by NOAA for more accurate hurricane path predictions. They also count fish, aiding in sustainable fisheries management. They capture real-time video of drug smugglers and illegal fishing, supporting the U. S. Coast Guard’s ocean security efforts. Additionally, they collect wind density data to assist energy companies in locating best spots for offshore wind farms.
“Ocean mapping is fundamentally important to understanding and predicting our future. Life started probably at the bottom of the ocean, and it really dictates the ocean currents and ocean circulation which transfers heat and carbon throughout our oceans,” says Jenkins, “so understanding the deep sea is critical for geophysics, safety and navigation. and also ocean circulation. Less than 20% of our ocean is mapped, and with 20 of our Surveyors, we could map the entire planet in 9.6 years.”
In a data-driven, digital world, Saildrone is quickly becoming the leading platform for those seeking precise information about our changing oceans. The company currently has around 100 manufactured saildrones. But Jenkins hopes to soon have a global fleet of 1,000 drones sailing around the world helping us better understand and protect our planet.
12. What can we learn about the saildrones
A. Saildrones cannot operate around the clock.
B. Saildrones are not friendly to the environment.
C. Saildrones use innovative sail technology for high speeds.
D. Saildrones are sold mainly for motorless land speed records.
13. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about
A. The multiple functions of saildrones.
B. The history of the saildrone technology.
C. The impact of saildrones on deep-sea exploration.
D. The cost of saildrones compared to traditional methods.
14. What can we infer from Jenkins’s words
A. Ocean mapping can be easily completed.
B. Weather patterns can be changed by saildrones.
C. Saildrones are the first devices to collect ocean data.
D. Saildrones will make a significant difference to our planet.
15. What is Jenkins’s attitude towards the Saildrone’s future
A. Pessimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical.

Another school year was beginning. I had thirteen excited first graders eager to learn and ready to fill my classroom with giggles (咯咯笑), tears, and everything in between, I realized that I had a uniquely small class size and got excited about the special projects we could do. One project that I had been particularly interested in was adopting military members as pen pals for my students.
1 began by sending out an e-mail to our school district employees asking for names and contact information of any military members they knew of. I was able to gather four different contacts and sent an e mail to each one asking if we could “adopt” them.
As the school year progressed, I eagerly awaited responses to my emails, hoping to establish connections between my first-grade students and military members serving abroad. The initial excitement gave way to a bit of uncertainty as there was not any reply.
However, one individual, Sergeant (中士) Allen, emerged as a beacon of hope. He responded to my email, expressing his eagerness to participate in our pen pal project. He shared that he was currently stationed overseas and how much he appreciated the opportunity to connect with young students back home.
Sergeant Allen’s initial email introduced himself to the class and outlined his experiences and duties as a soldier. My first graders were absolutely thrilled to read his words, and their faces lit up with curiosity and wonder. They immediately began drafting their first letters, full of questions about life in the military, his daily routines, and what it was like to be so far from home.
Sergeant Allen didn’t just respond to our initial letters; he became a dedicated and compassionate pen pal. He answered every question from my students, sharing stories of his daily life, and the challenges he faced.
My first graders began crafting colorful cards, drawing pictures, and writing heartfelt letters to Sergeant Allen. These care packages were sent overseas, crossing thousands of miles to reach our newfound friend. Sergeant Allen responded with gratitude, sending his letters and care packages. This continuous exchange fostered a sense of pride and responsibility in the hearts of my young students.
注意：1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the school year came to a close, we held a special video call with him.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing, I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot coffee, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never big on novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting, I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.

A new survey finds the gender gap in home cooking has widened, with women cooking more meals than men in nearly every country worldwide.
Women cooked just under nine meals per week, on average, in 2022. Men cooked about four per week. These are the results of an annual survey by Gallup and Cookpad, which tracks how often people prepare and eat home-cooked meals in countries around the globe.
When the survey began in 2018, traditional gender roles were well established, but during the pandemic years the survey results showed that men were cooking more. This narrowed the gender gap, explains Andrew Dugan, a research director at Gallup, who has worked on the survey since it began. The latest results, which Dugan says come as a surprise, point to a reversal (颠倒) of this trend. In 2022, women continued to cook at about the same frequency, but men started to cook less.
“It’s the first year that the gap actually widened,” Dugan says, pointing out that the gap has reverted back to its starting point in 2018, “What it might suggest is that the traditional gender roles are starting to reassert themselves,” Dugan says.
The gender gap varies by country. In the United States, women cook about two more meals per week on average, than men. The survey report charts the countries with the largest gender gaps, including Ethiopia, Egypt, and Nepal where women are making about eight more meals per week than men. The countries with the smallest gender differences in cooking are clustered (成群的) in Europe, including Spain, the UK, France, and Ireland.
It’s not clear why the gender gap widened in all the other countries including the U. S., but chef Mike Friedman, who operates several restaurants in the Washington D. C. area, has his take. “The survey may not capture the whole picture,” Friedman says, “In my house, lots of meals are collaborations (合作). My wife does a lot of the cooking. But we talk about it and we talk through what we should make tonight. And most times she’ll start and I’ll finish and then I’m always left with the dishes”.
8. What do we know about the survey
A. It began across the U. S. in 2022. B. It indicated men cooked less in 2018.
C. It measured how often people ate out. D. It focused on gender gaps in eating habits.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5
A. Women are more willing to do the cooking.
B. Traditional cooking methods stay unchanged.
C. The researchers come from different countries.
D. Gender gaps in cooking are smaller in richer countries.
10. What can we learn from Friedman’s words
A. Friedman thinks the survey has limitations.
B. Friedman is critical of women’s roles in cooking.
C. Friedman’s household seldom works together on meals.
D. Friedman’s household has a strict division of cooking roles.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Traditional Gender Roles in Cooking B. The Pandemic’s Impact on Home Cooking
C. Chef Friedman Comments on the Survey D. Gender Gap Widens in Home Cooking
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D

“We know more about the moon and Mars than we do our own planet,” says Richard Jenkins, founder and CEO of Saildrone, a data and robotics company located in Alameda, California.
Saildrone, founded in 2013, focuses on high-performance, hard-wing sail technology capable of breaking motorless land speed records, reaching speeds of 126. 1 mph. This innovative sail automatically adjusts itself for maximum wind power, a departure from traditional sails.
Saildrone doesn’t sell saildrones; instead, they sell data, and a whole lot of it. A day of saildrone data costs clients around $ 2,500, significantly less than the $ 30,000 daily cost of running a traditional ocean research vessel. And saildrones are also carbon neutral, with the 23-foot Explorer model using just the power of the sun and the wind to complete full year long missions around the world.
These unmanned surface vehicles are equipped with solar-powered sensors that offer real-time tracking data to a control center in Alameda. They monitor weather patterns, CO2 levels, and can provide live storm analysis from the midst of a category 4 hurricane. The data collected is used by NOAA for more accurate hurricane path predictions. They also count fish, aiding in sustainable fisheries management. They capture real-time video of drug smugglers and illegal fishing, supporting the U. S. Coast Guard’s ocean security efforts. Additionally, they collect wind density data to assist energy companies in locating best spots for offshore wind farms.
“Ocean mapping is fundamentally important to understanding and predicting our future. Life started probably at the bottom of the ocean, and it really dictates the ocean currents and ocean circulation which transfers heat and carbon throughout our oceans,” says Jenkins, “so understanding the deep sea is critical for geophysics, safety and navigation. and also ocean circulation. Less than 20% of our ocean is mapped, and with 20 of our Surveyors, we could map the entire planet in 9.6 years.”
In a data-driven, digital world, Saildrone is quickly becoming the leading platform for those seeking precise information about our changing oceans. The company currently has around 100 manufactured saildrones. But Jenkins hopes to soon have a global fleet of 1,000 drones sailing around the world helping us better understand and protect our planet.
12. What can we learn about the saildrones
A. Saildrones cannot operate around the clock.
B Saildrones are not friendly to the environment.
C. Saildrones use innovative sail technology for high speeds.
D. Saildrones are sold mainly for motorless land speed records.
13. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about
A. The multiple functions of saildrones.
B. The history of the saildrone technology.
C. The impact of saildrones on deep-sea exploration.
D. The cost of saildrones compared to traditional methods.
14. What can we infer from Jenkins’s words
A. Ocean mapping can be easily completed.
B. Weather patterns can be changed by saildrones.
C. Saildrones are the first devices to collect ocean data.
D. Saildrones will make a significant difference to our planet.
15. What is Jenkins’s attitude towards the Saildrone’s future
A. Pessimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“These unmanned surface vehicles are equipped with solar-powered sensors that offer real-time tracking data to a control center in Alameda. They monitor weather patterns, CO2 levels, and can provide live storm analysis from the midst of a category 4 hurricane. The data collected is used by NOAA for more accurate hurricane path predictions. They also count fish, aiding in sustainable fisheries management. They capture real-time video of drug smugglers and illegal fishing, supporting the U. S. Coast Guard’s ocean security efforts. Additionally, they collect wind density data to assist energy companies in locating best spots for offshore wind farms.(这些无人水面车辆配备了太阳能传感器，可以向阿拉米达的控制中心提供实时跟踪数据。它们监测天气模式、二氧化碳水平，并能在4级飓风中提供实时风暴分析。NOAA将收集到的数据用于更准确的飓风路径预测。他们还计算鱼类数量，帮助可持续渔业管理。他们捕捉毒品走私者和非法捕鱼的实时视频，支持美国海岸警卫队的海洋安全工作。此外，他们还收集风密度数据，以帮助能源公司找到海上风力发电场的最佳地点。)”可知，第四段介绍了无人航行器功能众多，可被应用到不同领域，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段Jenkins 说的“so understanding the deep sea is critical for geophysics, safety and navigation, and also ocean circulation. Less than 20% of our ocean is mapped, and with 20 of our Surveyors, we could map the entire planet in 9.6 years.(因此，了解深海对地球物理学、安全和导航，以及海洋环流都至关重要。只有不到20%的海洋被绘制在地图上，我们的20名测量员可以在9.6年的时间里绘制出整个地球的地图。)”可知，Jenkins认为无人航行器能够帮助我们更深入地研究海洋，进而更全面地了解我们生存的地球，会对我们的星球产生很大的影响。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“But Jenkins hopes to soon have a global fleet of 1,000 drones sailing around the world helping us better understand and protect our planet.(但詹金斯希望很快就能有一支由1000架无人机组成的全球舰队在世界各地航行，帮助我们更好地了解和保护我们的星球。)”可知，作者对于新型无人航行器充满期待。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。神州十六号航天员在完成为期五个月的空间站任务后，安全返回地球。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在完成为期五个月的空间站任务后，由三名中国宇航员组成的神舟16号机组人员于周二安全返回地球。非谓语动词作定语，consist与被修饰名词是主谓关系，所以用现在分词consisting。故填consisting。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：据中国载人航天局(CMSA)称，神舟16号的返回舱载着宇航员景海鹏、朱洋柱和桂海超，于北京时间上午8点11分在中国北部内蒙古自治区的东风着陆点着陆，机组人员于上午9点10分全部离开返回舱。touch down降落，着陆。该动作发生在过去某个时间，所以用一般过去时。故填touched。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国航天局表示，神舟16号宇航员身体健康，神舟16号载人飞行任务证明是成功的，同时也标志着中国目前可用的三种宇航员，即航天器飞行员、航天工程师和有效载荷专家，已经完成了飞行评估和实际测试。in good health健康状况良好。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：中国航天局表示，神舟16号宇航员身体健康，神舟16号载人飞行任务证明是成功的，同时也标志着中国目前可用的三种宇航员，即航天器飞行员、航天工程师和有效载荷专家，已经完成了飞行评估和实际测试。空后为名词词组flight assessments，所以此处需要形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国航天局补充说，这次任务为载人航天计划的后续发展和建设以及大规模的空间科学实验奠定了良好的基础。lay a good foundation，意为“为……奠定良好的基础”，所以此处填不定冠词a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“这一刻我非常激动，因为我们终于回家了，回到了我们的祖国，”景说，他是任务指挥官，也是第一位完成四次太空任务的中国宇航员，总共200多天。the first Chinese astronaut to complete four space missions，意为“第一个完成四次太空任务的中国宇航员”。Chinese astronaut前有序数词the first修饰，不定式to complete four space missions作后置定语。故填to complete。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：在我们的任务中，机组人员过着幸福的生活，工作效率很高。副词efficiently修饰动词work。故填efficiently。
【43题详解】
考查省略。句意：“在我们的任务中，机组人员过着幸福的生活，工作效率很高。所有的操作都没有出现任何错误，”景坐在太空舱前的椅子上说。while引导时间状语从句时，如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同，那么从句的主语和谓语动词be都可以省略。while后省略了“he was”，主语he与sit之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填sitting。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：这是中国空间站应用和发展阶段的第一次载人任务。由名词development可知，此处需要名词与之并列。the application and development stage，意为“应用和发展阶段”。故填application。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：宇航员们在轨道上停留了154天，共进行了70项太空实验，进行了太空行走，并在空间站发表了演讲。“carried out”、“performed”、“delivered”是三个并列谓语动词，因此此处填连词and。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Another school year was beginning. I had thirteen excited first graders eager to learn and ready to fill my classroom with giggles (咯咯笑), tears, and everything in between, I realized that I had a uniquely small class size and got excited about the special projects we could do. One project that I had been particularly interested in was adopting military members as pen pals for my students.
1 began by sending out an e-mail to our school district employees asking for names and contact information of any military members they knew of. I was able to gather four different contacts and sent an e mail to each one asking if we could “adopt” them.
As the school year progressed, I eagerly awaited responses to my emails, hoping to establish connections between my first-grade students and military members serving abroad. The initial excitement gave way to a bit of uncertainty as there was not any reply.
However, one individual, Sergeant (中士) Allen, emerged as a beacon of hope. He responded to my email, expressing his eagerness to participate in our pen pal project. He shared that he was currently stationed overseas and how much he appreciated the opportunity to connect with young students back home.
Sergeant Allen’s initial email introduced himself to the class and outlined his experiences and duties as a soldier. My first graders were absolutely thrilled to read his words, and their faces lit up with curiosity and wonder. They immediately began drafting their first letters, full of questions about life in the military, his daily routines, and what it was like to be so far from home.
Sergeant Allen didn’t just respond to our initial letters; he became a dedicated and compassionate pen pal. He answered every question from my students, sharing stories of his daily life, and the challenges he faced.
My first graders began crafting colorful cards, drawing pictures, and writing heartfelt letters to Sergeant Allen. These care packages were sent overseas, crossing thousands of miles to reach our newfound friend. Sergeant Allen responded with gratitude, sending his letters and care packages. This continuous exchange fostered a sense of pride and responsibility in the hearts of my young students.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

As the school year came to a close, we held a special video call with him.

I was astonished to know that he was my classmate.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As the school year came to a close, we held a special video call with him. Our students were overjoyed to finally see the face behind the caring words and kind gestures that had connected them with Sergeant Allen throughout the year. During the video call, the room was filled with excitement as Sergeant Allen appeared on the screen. The children’s faces lit up with recognition, but what happened next left me astonished. Sergeant Allen’s face looked extremely familiar. It was then that he revealed a surprising connection — he was, in fact, my first-grade classmate!
I was astonished to know that he was my classmate. It was an incredible twist of fate that Sergeant Allen was my first-grade classmate. It added a significant layer of meaning to our pen pal project and highlighted the small world we live in. Sergeant Allen shared stories of our shared school days, our teachers, and the adventures we had as children. It was a heartwarming moment, and the children were amazed to learn that their teacher and their pen pal had a deep, unexpected connection. It strengthened the idea that friendships and connections can go beyond time and distance, leaving a lasting impact on my young students.
