【解析】
【原文】
W：The world is full of wonderful places, both natural and man-made. Easter Island lies in the southern Pacific Ocean, 3,512 kilometers west of mainland Chile. Jacob Roggeveen discovered the island on Easter Sunday in 1722 and called it Easter Island. In 1786, a Frenchman visited the island and then made a detailed map. In 1888, Chile took control of the island.
The most amazing sight on the island is the giant stone figures. One mystery about these figures is how the ancient inhabitants made and then moved them. As we all know, what they used were the simplest stone tools. It seems that lots of people pulled. Over the centuries, Easter Island has suffered from diseases, wars and climate changes. As a result,most of the native Polynesian identity has been lost. But the island’s stone figures will keep people extremely interested in Polynesian history and culture for a long time.

A study of 8 different experiments showed that our brains tend to prefer addition rather than subtraction when it comes to finding solutions—in many cases, it seems we just don’t consider the strategy of taking something away at all.
The researchers found that this preference for adding was noticeable in three situations in particular: when people were under higher cognitive (认知的) load, when there was less time to consider the other options, and when volunteers didn’t get a specific reminder that subtracting was an option. In one of the experiments, participants were asked to improve a Lego structure so that it was able to take more weight. Half the volunteers were reminded that they could take away bricks as well as add them, and half weren’t. In the group that got the reminder, 61 percent solved the problem by taking away a brick—which was a much faster and more efficient way of making the structure stable. In the group that didn’t get the reminder, only 41 percent went for the removing bricks approach.
“Additive ideas come to mind quickly and easily, but subtractive ideas require more cognitive effort,” says psychologist Benjamin Converse, from the University of Virginia. “Because people are often moving fast and working with the first ideas that come to mind, they end up accepting additive solutions without considering subtraction at all.”
The researchers have a few ideas about what might be going on. Our brains might find additive changes easier to process perhaps, or we might be associating adding with ideas of something that's bigger and therefore better in our subconscious. There might also be associations in our minds with the current status being something that needs to be maintained as much as possible—and taking something away is arguably more destructive to the current status than adding something new.
The researchers say their work is important in a much broader sense: for institutions looking to streamline (简化), for example, and even for the human race looking for ways to better manage the planet’s resources.
24. What does the underlined word “subtraction” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Removal. B. Moderation. C. Refusal. D. Solution.
25. In which situation do people prefer adding?
A. When they are under high pressure. B. When they lack cognitive ability.
C. When they are specially reminded. D. When they are hurried to decide.
26. What were participants required to do in the experiment?
A. Re-shape Lego bricks. B. Take Lego bricks away.
C. Move the Lego structure. D. Stabilize the Lego structure.
27. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The ways to make additive changes.
B. The effects of taking something away.
C. The reasons for brains preferring addition.
D. The importance of maintaining current status.
【答案】24—27 ADDC
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，研究表明在寻找解决方案时，我们的大脑更倾向于选择增加而不是减除，并介绍了研究结果的意义。
24. 词句猜测题。划线词句前半部分“A study of 8 different experiments showed that our brains tend to prefer addition (一项由8个不同实验组成的研究表明，我们的大脑更倾向于选择增加)”以及后半部分“when it comes to finding solutions—in many cases, it seems we just don’t consider the strategy of taking something away at all (在寻找解决方案时，在很多情况下，我们似乎根本没有考虑过减掉某样东西的策略。)”说明在寻找解决方案时，人们的大脑更倾向于选择增加而没有考虑减掉某样东西的策略，从而推知划线部分“rather than subtraction (而不是subtraction)”其中划线词汇应为“减掉”的意思，选项A“消除”与之意义最为接近。故选A项。
25. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers found that this preference for adding was noticeable in three situations in particular: when people were under higher cognitive (认知的) load, when there was less time to consider the other options, and when volunteers didn’t get a specific reminder that subtracting was an option. (研究人员发现，这种选择增加的偏好在以下三种情况下尤为明显：当人们的认知负荷较高时，当人们没有时间考虑其他选择时，当志愿者没有得到明确的提示，减除是一种选项时。)”中“when there was less time to consider the other options”可推知，当人们没有时间考虑其他选择，需要匆忙决定时，人们更喜欢选择增加。故选D项。
26. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In one of the experiments, participants were asked to improve a Lego structure so that it was able to take more weight. (在其中一个实验中，参与者被要求改进Lego积木的结构，使其能够承受更多的重量。)”可知，实验要求参与者稳定Lego积木结构。故选D项。
27. 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Our brains might find additive changes easier to process perhaps, or we might be associating adding with ideas of something that's bigger and therefore better in our subconscious. There might also be associations in our minds with the current status being something that needs to be maintained as much as possible—and taking something away is arguably more destructive to the current status than adding something new. (我们的大脑可能会发现增加的变化更容易处理，或者我们可能会在潜意识中将增加与更大更好的想法联系起来。在我们的脑海中可能还会有这样的联想：当前的状态是需要尽可能多地保持的，而拿走一些东西可能比增加一些新东西对当前的状态更具破坏性。)”可知，本段主要讲了大脑喜欢增加的原因。故选C项。
C
Flash droughts are relatively new for natural disasters, and come on fast, with conditions going from normal to severely dry in less than one month. This means people have no time to prepare for the consequences, which can include dried crops, streams or wells.
A well-documented flash drought swept across the central U. S. in 2012. Normal winter and spring rainfall made people assume it would be a normal summer. But it suddenly stopped raining in May, leading to the driest summer in the Great Plains since 1895. The drought destroyed crops in six states, resulting in $35. 7 billion of agricultural loss.
The 2012 disaster inspired researchers to concentrate on flash droughts. In a study published in 2021, Cook and his colleagues, using tree ring data paired with soil moisture data, reconstructed the frequency and scale of flash droughts in the Central Plains over the past 500 years. The model showed that over one-third of all flash droughts since A．D．1500 occurred in the 20th century.
However, while science is giving some insights into where and how these rapid droughts happen, we still don’t know how to predict them.
“We know the physical ingredients that cause flash droughts, but we don’t really understand what triggers them in the soil column,” says Justin Mankin, a geography professor.
Part of the reason flash droughts are difficult to forecast is because there’s a lack of on-the-ground monitoring, including real-time measurements of soil moisture. Tools like the U. S. Drought Monitor rely on satellite imagery of vegetation as well as other geophysical data. But they only provide a guess of soil moisture, rather than showing what’s happening beneath the surface.
“Plants are doing the water exchange between the land and the atmosphere,” explains Mankin. “That exchange is happening in what we call the root zone about a meter underground, which is difficult to monitor from a satellite.”
28．What’s the purpose of mentioning the 2012 drought
A．To highlight the loss the drought brought. B．To show the history of flash droughts.
C．To further explain flash droughts. D．To illustrate the harm of the drought.
29．How did Cook and his team study flash drought
A．By doing experiments. B．By analyzing statistics.
C．By studying the history. D．By observing nature.
30．What’s the disadvantage of the current monitoring tools
A．They cannot predict soil moisture. B．They depend on satellites and data.
C．They cannot get clear pictures. D．They cannot track water exchange.
31．What’s the best title of the text
A．What Flash Droughts Are B．How Flash Droughts Form
C．What Flash Droughts Bring D．How We Predict Flash Droughts
【答案】28—31 CBDA
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍骤旱，相比传统干旱，发展更为迅速，预见期更短，同时也难以预测，目前也缺乏有效的监测工具。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Flash droughts are relatively new for natural disasters, and come on fast, with conditions going from normal to severely dry in less than one month. This means people have no time to prepare for the consequences, which can include dried crops, streams or wells.( 骤旱是相对较新的自然灾害，而且来得很快，在不到一个月的时间里，情况从正常到严重干旱。这意味着人们没有时间为后果做准备，这些后果可能包括农作物干涸、河流干涸或水井干涸)”推知，第二段介绍2012 年美国中部平原发生的骤旱以及其影响是为了例进一步说明骤旱的特点。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Cook and his colleagues, using tree ring data paired with soil moisture data, reconstructed the frequency and scale of flash droughts in the Central Plains over the past 500 years. (在2021年发表的一项研究中，库克和他的同事利用树木年轮数据和土壤湿度数据，重建了过去500年中原地区突发性干旱的频率和规模)”可知，库克和他的团队主要利用数据来进行研究。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But they only provide a guess of soil moisture, rather than showing what’s happening beneath the surface. (但它们只提供了土壤湿度的猜测，而没有显示地表下发生了什么)”和最后一段“That exchange is happening in what we call the root zone about a meter underground, which is difficult to monitor from a satellite.(这种交换发生在我们所说的地下一米左右的根区，这很难从卫星上监测到)”可知，检测工具依靠卫星图片，只能猜测土壤水分，而看不到地下植物利用根部进行水分交换的情况。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Flash droughts are relatively new for natural disasters, and come on fast, with conditions going from normal to severely dry in less than one month. (骤旱是相对较新的自然灾害，而且来得很快，在不到一个月的时间里，情况从正常到严重干旱)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍骤旱，相比传统干旱，发展更为迅速，预见期更短，同时也难以预测，目前也缺乏有效的监测工具。所以“What Flash Droughts Are(什么是骤旱)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
D
Notpla is a London-based firm that makes a seaweed- based substitute for single use plastic packaging.Although some of Notpla's products are suitable to be eaten, they are designed to be dissolved (溶解) after usage. The company s film wrap is made of seaweed lining instead of a conventional plastic based coating.This makes the film fully biodegradable and ideal for use as packaging for cupboard and bathroom supplies like coffee and toilet paper.
According to the United Nations, 331 million kilograms of plastic garbage is produced annually around the world.Roughly 60% of the estimated 9.15 billion tons of plastic produced since the early 1950s has been taken to landfills or abandoned outdoors.
Plastics harm the water, the air, and our bodies.Many experts agree that single-use plastics are unnecessary and dangerous.Some governments and towns in the Unite States have taken action.New York has banned most plastic shopping bags, while plastic straws (吸管) have been banned in Miami Beach.Overseas, India stated in August that it plans to put a wide ban on single-use plastics this upcoming summer, with the European Union already implementing this ban.
Seaweed comes in a variety of species and can be harvested or farmed.Norpla uses plants that have been farmed.Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez and Pierre Paslie, the inventors of Notpla,initially considered seaweed as a solution to the world's plastic problem for several reasons.Seaweed is abundant and grows quickly.Additionally it doesn't compete with land crops and is highly favored for its ability to remove some waste products like carbon from the atmosphere.
In cooperation with the online food ordering service Just Eat, the startup recently tested its product. Last year, the two companies handed out 30,000 takeaway boxes at various UK restaurants, Plans are in the works to offer the boxes across Europe in 2022.Norpla's team intends to replace single use plastic in the supply chain more generally as they scale. The company recognizes the difficulty of such a job given the volume of plastics consumed around the world.
32.How does the author mainly develop paragraph 2?
A. By comparing facts.
B. By presenting figures.
C. By raising questions.
D. By giving examples.
33.What can best replace the underlined word "implementing”in paragraph 3?
A. lifting
B. protecting
C. opposing
D. performing
34.What does paragraph 4mainly talk about?
A. The wide use of seaweed
B. The next goal of the new study.
C. The huge market of the plastic bags.
D. The advantages of choosing seaweed
35.What does the company think of its plan to replace the whole single use plastic?
A. It will be unpractical.
B. It will be richly rewarded
C. It will be a little tough.
D. It will be rather successful.
【答案】32—35　BDDC
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。总部设在伦敦的Notpla公司研发了以海草为原料的包装材料,该产品可以替代一次性塑料制品。
32.B推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the United Nations, 331 million kilograms of plastic garbage is produced annually around the world.Roughly 60% of the estimated 9.15 billion tons of plastic produced since the early 1950s has been taken to landfills or abandoned outdoors.”（根据联合国的数据，全球每年产生3.31亿公斤塑料垃圾。自20世纪50年代初以来，估计生产的91.5亿吨塑料中，约有60%被送往垃圾填埋场或遗弃在户外。）可知,作者使用列数字的方式来写本段。故选B。
33.D词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“Overseas, India stated in August that it plans to put a wide ban on single-use plastics this upcoming summer, with the European Union already implementing this ban.”（在海外，印度8月份表示，计划在即将到来的夏天全面禁止一次性塑料，欧盟已经实施了这一禁令。）可知,在海外,印度于八月公布该国计划在夏季实行全国范围的禁令,禁止使用一次性的塑料制品。欧盟此前已经执行这条禁令。故选D。
34.D主旨大意题。根据第四段“Seaweed comes in a variety of species and can be harvested or farmed.Norpla uses plants that have been farmed.Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez and Pierre Paslie, the inventors of Notpla,initially considered seaweed as a solution to the world's plastic problem for several reasons.Seaweed is abundant and grows quickly.Additionally it doesn't compete with land crops and is highly favored for its ability to remove some waste products like carbon from the atmosphere.”（海藻种类繁多，可以收获或养殖。诺普拉使用人工种植的植物。Notpla的发明者罗德里戈·加西亚·冈萨雷斯和皮埃尔·帕斯利最初认为海藻可以解决全球塑料问题，原因有几个。海藻丰富，生长迅速。此外，它不与陆地作物竞争，并因其从大气中去除一些废物(如碳)的能力而受到高度青睐。）可知,本段主要介绍了选择海草的优势。故选D。
35.C细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The company recognizes the difficulty of such a job given the volume of plastics consumed around the world.”（考虑到全球塑料的消耗量，该公司认识到这项工作的难度。）可知,这家公司认为要完全取代一次性塑料制品有点困难。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5）
You’re faced with a lot of decisions in everyday work. There are multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even burn out trying to decide what comes first. ___36___
If you’re going to think smarter about how you prioritize (排序) tasks, you have to invest a little time away from your to-do list. Here’s the thing: what you work on confirms your values. You may think it’s no big thing to work overtime for a little while, but something will be sacrificed with this decision. If you’re a parent, you might spend less time with your kids. Similarly, if you choose not to work much or effectively, you’re deciding that your values lie outside your career. ___37___
Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of things you care about. This could be: helps the community, helps one-to-one relationships, makes money, and things you find personally fulfilling. Then place them in the boxes and see how many of the boxes each one takes up. Anything that fills just one box has to be reconsidered. Anything that fills nothing should not be considered at all. ___38___From here, the rest of the prioritization gets a little easier. You now have a better idea where the efforts are really paying off. You also know when you are wasting your own time.
In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small. ____39____ Other people are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow. These are actually easier to prioritize. Then break down large tasks into smaller pieces. That helps put things in order. Part of the reason we do the small things first is that being productive feels good. Acknowledging accomplishments makes you more likely to keep going and pushes you through the more complicated tasks.
___40___ Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak. Be aware when you’re more productive for social activities and when you’re better off. The more you study yourself, the easier planning becomes.
Now that you have your priorities in order, go ahead and you will boost your productivity.
A. You can also prioritize based on energy levels.
B. The good news is that some tasks can keep you motivated.
C. So how can you figure out what’s most important to work on first?
D. This activity allows you to see where you really want to invest your energy.
E. If you want to make a new list, you need to turn to your colleagues for help.
F. There are some tasks that are pretty straightforward and you need to do the thing.
G. Where you invest your time is not just about what you value but also what you don’t value.

36. 前文“There are multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even burn out trying to decide what comes first.”说明有许多任务需要你关注，你无法决定先做什么，后文几个自然段分别讲述怎么排序任务， 怎样分辨任务的重要性等，因此这里使用问句“那么，应该怎样来辨明首先要处理的最重要的事情是什么呢"来引起后文。逻辑通顺。故选C。
37. 根据上文“Here’s the thing: what you work on confirms your values.”以及接下来的举例可知，本段讲述一个人的价值观是由致力于什么而确定的。并列举了几个例子。因此空格处进行总结说“你把时间投资到哪里，说明了你重视什么，同时也说明了你不重视什么”，故选G。
38. 上文“Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of things you care about.”首先介绍了一种方法，把所有的任务写下来放在四个盒子里。横线后“the rest of the prioritization gets a little easier.”说“剩下的会更容易一些”故前后存在对比，因此空格处说“这项活动会让你看清你想往哪里投入精力”。故选D。
39. 前文“In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small.”说把所有的大小任务都收集到一起，后文“Other people are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow.”说其他人指望你或者未来的自己依赖于这些。故中间用“有一些任务直接需要你做这些事”符合语境，引领下文。故选F。
40. 后文“Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak.”说有时你的能量值高有时能量值低，故前文说的是“你可以基于你的能量值来排序优先性”，故选A。

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秦岭山脉。秦岭是中国北方和南方的地理分界线。它们从西向东延伸，横跨甘肃省、陕西省和河南省。秦岭被大型植物覆盖，是大熊猫、金丝猴等许多野生动物的家园。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：它们从西向东延伸，横跨甘肃省、陕西省和河南省。分析句子结构可知stretch与逻辑主语they构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填stretching。
57．考查定语从句。句意：秦岭被大型植物覆盖，是大熊猫、金丝猴等许多野生动物的家园。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Qinling Mountains，在从句中作主语，指物，故用关系代词which。故填which。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：秦岭形成于大约2亿年前，被认为是重要的生态安全屏障。分析句子结构可知identify与逻辑主语Qinling Mountains构成被动关系，故用过去分词作状语。故填identified。
59．考查时态。句意：由于秦岭南北的地理差异，秦淮线成为迄今为止中国地理上最重要的南北边界。根据so far可知为现在完成时，主语为Qinling-Huai River Line，助动词用has。故填has become。
60．考查时态语态。句意：在冬季，秦岭山脉可以阻挡寒潮进入南方，在夏季，潮湿的海风可以阻挡进入北部地区。主语与谓语构成被动关系，陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为the moist sea breeze，谓语用单数。故填is blocked。
61．考查强调句。句意：虽然秦岭一直被认为是大熊猫栖息地的北部边缘，但直到2005年，秦岭大熊猫才被确认为大熊猫的一个独特亚种。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句“it be+被强调部分+that+其它”，被强调部分为only in 2005。故填it。
62．考查冠词。句意：虽然秦岭一直被认为是大熊猫栖息地的北部边缘，但直到2005年，秦岭大熊猫才被确认为大熊猫的一个独特亚种。subspecies为泛指，且distinct是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
63．考查副词。句意：秦岭大熊猫的特点是体型略小，皮毛为棕色而非黑色，约有270只分布在太白山和青木川等7个地区。修饰形容词smaller应用副词slightly，作状语。故填slightly。
64．考查最高级。句意：太白山作为秦岭的最高峰，深受登山爱好者的喜爱。根据上文定冠词以及句意“最高”可知应用最高级。故填highest。
65．考查名词。句意：许多登山爱好者喜欢花一整晚的时间到达顶峰，记录美丽的日出，享受温泉放松。作介词的宾语，应用名词relaxation，不可数。故填relaxation。

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
One day in 2001, when I was eight years old, my family and I were coming back from a baseball game, which was our usual weekend adventure. But unlike other weekends, a surprise was waiting for us. Two adult wild geese and a small wild goose were wandering around our yard. The adults were frightened by us and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn't follow.
译文：2001年的一天，我八岁的时候，我和家人看完棒球比赛回来，那是我们通常的周末冒险活动。但与其他周末不同的是，一个惊喜在等着我们。两只成年大雁和一只小雁在我们的院子里闲逛。大人们被我们吓坏了，飞走了，但是他们的孩子还太小，不会飞，不能跟着我们。
It was freezing cold when night fell. Concerned about the wild goose's safety, we begged dad to protect the little guy. Dad took the tiny little thing to the back porch (门廊) to keep warm and protect him from wild animals. The small wild goose seemed in a panic, unaware of what could happen. The next morning, we try to drive the wild goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, and they wouldn't come close to take him. We kept this up for six days, but no luck. By then, the young wild goose had clearly decided we were his new family. My sister Anna called the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. Every time we called his name, he would respond. We also decided that Peeper was a boy, I don’t know why; it just felt right.
译文：夜幕降临时，天气非常寒冷。考虑到大雁的安全，我们恳求爸爸保护小家伙。爸爸把这个小东西带到后门廊(门廊)取暖，保护他不受野生动物的伤害。小雁似乎惊慌失措，不知道会发生什么事。第二天早上，我们试着把大雁赶去它的父母那里，他们总是回到我们的院子里。他不会去找他们，他们也不会靠近他。我们坚持了六天，但一无所获。那时，这只小大雁已经明确地认为我们就是它的新家。我姐姐安娜叫这个小家伙Peeper，因为它会不停地在院子里跟着我们，发出偷窥的声音。每次我们叫他的名字，他都会回应。我们还认定佩珀是个男孩，我也不知道为什么;感觉很好。
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. Peeper liked to sleep on our back porch each night, and every day my dad would clean up all the goose droppings (鸟兽的粪便) carefully. Dad would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a circle around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.
译文：日复一日，周而复始，周而复始，直到一年过去了。佩珀喜欢每天晚上睡在我们家的后门廊上，每天我爸爸都会小心地清理所有的鹅粪。爸爸会把皮珀抛到空中，让它绕着房子飞一圈，等门廊打扫干净后再飞回来。
注意：
1．续写的词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
One day, my dad threw him up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
To my amazement, in 2021, an aging adult wild goose came to my home.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
One day, my dad threw him up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off. Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn't come back. We hoped he found a flock and went off on his natural way. Again, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, then years. I missed my little buddy, and I would call for him every time I saw a flock of Canadian geese fly by in V-formation. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.
译文：有一天，我爸爸像往常一样把它扔到空中，但这次，皮珀飞走了。每个人都非常非常难过。我们找了他好几天，喊着他的名字，但他没有回来。我们希望他能找到一群羊，然后走他自己的路。再一次，日子变成了星期，星期变成了月，然后是年。我想念我的小伙伴，每当我看到一群加拿大鹅以v字队形飞过时，我就会叫他。二十年过去了，皮珀成了我们家的美好回忆。
To my amazement, in 2021, an aging adult wild goose came to my home. At first, I assumed it was just another wild goose. After two weeks, it became clear to me that this wasn't a random wild goose. He did all of the same things Peeper used to, like trying to come in through the front door. In addition to mimicking Peeper's old ways, this wild goose also responded to the name Peeper. Much to my amazement, my old best friend had returned, 20 years later.
译文：令我惊讶的是，在2021年，一只年迈的成年大雁来到了我家。一开始，我以为它只是另一只野鹅。两周后，我明白了这不是一只随机的野鹅。他做的事情和皮珀以前做的一样，比如试图从前门进来。除了模仿Peeper的老路，这只雁对Peeper这个名字也有反应。令我惊讶的是，20年后，我最好的老朋友回来了。
