听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
M:The first time we meet a person,it is often difficult to carry on a conversation.Let us suppose we are introduced to someone at a party.One good first question would be to ask the person how he or she knows the host or hostess.If the person answers formally by calling you Mr or Ms,you could then say something like “please call me Susan”.This could immediately make the conversation more informal.In addition,if you are asked a question,try not to answer with only one or two words.Look at the person in the eyes and stand close enough to show you are interested in what he or she is saying.
Follow this plan,and you’ll probably soon find something you are both interested in,such as a recent movie or a TV program,certain types of food or sports.Stay away from subjects that could cause arguments,such as political or religious topics.If the person is new to your town,you can introduce him or her to some of your other friends who are present.Anyhow,in a few minutes,both of you will feel much more relaxed and can enjoy each other’s company.
18.How can people make a conversation more informal immediately?
A.By looking other people in the eyes.
B.By asking others to use their first name.
C.By answering with only one or two words.
答案B
19.Why should people stand close enough to others in a conversation?
A.To show their interest.

C.To create a relaxing atmosphere.
答案A

Ieoh Ming Pei,one of the last great modernist architects,has passed away at the age of 102.Although he worked mostly in the United States,Pei will always be remembered for a European project: his redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s.
Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history,and initially his designs were fiercely opposed.But in the end,the French—and everyone else—were won over.His glass pyramid outside the Louvre,completed in 1989,is now one of Paris’ most famous landmarks.
Pei was born in China in 1917 into a wealthy family.His father was a banker.His artistic mother—a calligrapher and musician—had the greater influence on him.Despite not speaking English,he moved to the US at the age of 18 to study at Pennsylvania,MIT and Harvard.He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two,and went on to work as an architect,founding his own firm in 1955.He carried on working well into old age,creating one of his most famous masterpieces—the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha,Qatar—in his 80s.
He has designed buildings,hotels,schools and other structures across North America,Asia and Europe.His other work includes Dallas City Hall and Japan’s Miho Museum.His style was influenced by his love of Islamic architecture.His favoured building materials were glass and steel,with a combination of concrete.
He won a variety of awards and prizes for his buildings,including the AIA Gold Medal,the Praemium Imperiale for Architecture.In 1983,Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America.In person,Pei was always neatly dressed,good-tempered,charming and unusually modest.

Almost everyone who has studied English has been warned about the way Brits love their manners.It is part of our national identity,as much as fish and chips or complaining about the weather.Recently I have been wondering where this comes from and I read online that we say sorry up to eight times a day.Probably the same amount of times that any other person says “hello” or “how are you”.It is almost like greetings to us!It was only when I was explaining how there are five steps of saying thank you when you buy something from a shop to a Mexican friend of mine that I realised how mad it sounded.
After some research online I have not been able to find any specific reasons why we are the way we are.I suppose for centuries manners and how we eat at the table and talk to other people have been the barriers between the lower and upper classes and represent your social status.Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative country.There are many articles suggesting that this seemingly polite attitude of always saying please and thank you is quite false because it is impossible to always feel that you want to thank someone or say please.
Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are incredibly polite and hold back on their feelings or not polite at all,and express their true feelings.Some Brits are fed up of pretending that they are always content and having to please people.Sometimes because we feel we have to be polite,we are prevented from saying what we truly think.Do you think it is better to not hurt people’s feelings and be polite or to let people know the truth?In your country what is the custom?I know in some countries if someone is considered to be doing their job,the clients think that they do not need to be thanked.
【语篇解读】英国人待人彬彬有礼,讲话十分客气,“谢谢”“请”字不离口。
28.What does the author think of the British way of saying “Thank you”?
A.Normal. B.Surprising.
C.Exciting. D.Pleasing.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,直到作者向一位墨西哥朋友解释说“谢谢”有五个步骤的时候,他才意识到这听起来有多疯狂。由此可知,B项符合语境。
29.What does the author want to find out?
A.Why the British like to complain about the weather.
B.Why the British love their way of showing manners.
C.Why the British are fond of fish and chips so much.
D.Why the British have five steps of saying thank you.
答案B
解析细节理解题。文章第二段的第一、二句提到,作者在网上做了些研究以后也没找到确切的原因。结合文章的第一句可知,作者想找到为什么英国人有礼貌的原因。
30.What does the author think manners stand for centuries?
A.Wealth and health. B.Social status.
C.Politeness. D.Attitudes.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第二句可知,作者认为几个世纪以来,礼仪以及就餐和与他人交谈的方式一直是社会下层和上层社会之间的障碍,代表着他们的社会地位。故B项正确。
31.Why do Brits feel sometimes they have to be polite?
A.They want to express their true feelings.
B.They want to let people know the truth.
C.They are kept from saying what they think.
D.They want to represent their social status.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句“有时,因为我们觉得我们必须礼貌,我们被阻止说出我们真正的想法”可知,C项正确。
D
Chinese retail giant Alibaba has unveiled a new automated vehicle which it says is easy to mass-produce and could serve a number of functions.These could include delivery courier or automated coffee vendor(售货机).
The Cainiao G Plus can travel at up to nine miles per hour.It was shown at a conference where Alibaba founder Jack Ma announced a 100 billion yuan investment in smart logistics(物流).This includes devices such as warehouse robots as well as delivery aids.
AI expert and author Calum Chace described the G Plus as resembling the “ugly big brother” of a delivery bot developed by UK firm Starship Technologies.Starship has been working on this project for several years,so the Alibaba project looks to be behind as well as ugly,he said.But that won’t matter.Anything to do with artificial intelligence is a high priority for China,which has set itself the target of overtaking the US as world leader in AI by 2030.
China benefits from having free access to large amounts of data,essential for training algorithms(运算程序),he added—potentially a drawback in Europe since the introduction of GDPR legislation(立法),designed to protect privacy.
Don’t bet against the Chinese pulling ahead in any AI-related competition,be it self-driving cars,facial recognition,or delivery bots,Mr Chace said.
The G Plus vehicle is fitted with solid state Lidar—the laser sensors which form an important part of the system autonomous vehicles used to be aware of their surroundings.
There are various developers creating their own versions but essentially it uses fewer lasers and a tiny swinging mirror.Last month BMW revealed that its autonomous vehicles will be fitted with solid state Lidar when they launch in 2021.
【语篇解读】阿里巴巴已经推出了一款新型自动送货机器人,据称这款机器人容易量产,并且可以发挥多种功能。这些功能包含送货和自动咖啡供应。中国希望到2030年超越美国,成为人工智能领域世界最领先的国家。
32.What do we know about the Cainiao G Plus?
A.It has been widely put into use in China.
B.It can be made in large quantities easily.
C.It gets a 100 billion yuan investment.
D.It is restricted in smart logistics.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Chinese retail giant Alibaba has unveiled a new automated vehicle which it says is easy to mass-produce”可知,这款机器人很容易量产。
33.Compared with the Cainiao G Plus,the UK’s delivery bot .
A.looks nicer and modern
B.is behind but looks nicer
C.is behind and looks ugly
D.is modern but looks ugly
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知,Starship公司近年来一直致力于智能物流领域,所以阿里巴巴的产品看起来落后并且丑陋。由此推测,Starship 科技公司开发的送货机器人要更先进、更好看,所以选A项。
34.What is Mr Chace’s attitude towards China in AI-related competition?
A.Doubtful. B.Negative.
C.Confident. D.Opposed.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,Chace认为中国在任何与人工智能相关的领域中都处于领先地位,所以选C项。
35.What is the function of solid state Lidar?
A.To detect things around.
B.To speed up the vehicle.
C.To fix the laser sensors
D.To swing the tiny mirror.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第六段中的“the laser sensors which form an important part of the system autonomous vehicles use to be aware of their surroundings”可知,它的作用是探测周围的环境,所以选A项。

According to an announcement by Sergey Kravtsov,Russian vice minister of education and science,Sputnik news reported,Russia’s national college entrance exam will include Mandarin as 56 elective foreign language starting from 2019.Chinese will become the 57 (five) elective test item for the Unified State Exam in addition to English,German,French and Spanish.

According to the Office of Chinese Language Council International,some 100 million people,excluding native speakers,use Chinese 65 (global).
答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。俄罗斯的大学入学考试将把普通话作为选修外语。
56.an 考查冠词。language指的是“(某国)语言”时为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且elective以元音音素开头,所以用冠词an来修饰。
57.fifth 考查序数词。the+序数词表示“第……”。本句表示“第五”,所以应用序数词fifth。
58.has risen 考查动词时态。由“in the past decade”可知,本句用现在完成时,且主语为The number of Chinese learners,谓语用单数,故填has risen。
59.carried 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,设空处需用非谓语形式,且 survey 与carry out构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
60.to 考查介词。(an/the) approach to doing sth,表示“做某事的方法”,其中to为介词。
61.choosing 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,本句为with的复合结构作状语,people与choose在逻辑上构成主动关系,故用动词-ing形式。
62.their 考查代词。设空处修饰名词listening,reading and writing abilities,故用其形容词性物主代词形式。
63.characters 考查名词复数。character为可数名词,中国的汉字不止一个,故用character的复数形式。
64.who 考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词those,在后面的定语从句中作主语,且当先行词为those指人时,关系代词一般倾向于用who,不用that。故填who。
65.globally 考查副词。设空处修饰动词use。故填globally。

Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store,Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace,by which she was totally defeated.How eagerly she wanted it!But when she saw the price,her heart sank a little.She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her.Her mother said,“Well,it is a pretty necklace,but it costs an awful lot of money.I can buy you the necklace,but when we get home,we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately,feeling a burst of joy.So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day.Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy.When Jenny went to bed,he would read Jenny her favourite story.One night when he finished the story,he said,“Jenny,do you love me?” “Oh,yes,Daddy,you know I love you.” the little girl said delightedly,with a broad smile on her face.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” Hearing that,Jenny froze there,an anxious expression twisting her face.“Oh!Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Rosy,my favourite doll.Remember her?You gave her to me last year for my birthday.Okay?” “Oh no,darling,that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss,gently and calmly.“Good night,little one.”
A week later,her father once again asked Jenny after her story,“Do you love me?” “Oh yes,Daddy,you know I love you.” the little girl murmured softly,trying to escape from her father’s eyes.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” “Oh,Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Ribbons,my toy horse.Do you remember her?She is my favourite.” The little girl begged.“No,that’s okay,” her father said,smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.“God bless you,little one.Sweet dreams.”
Paragraph 1:
Several days later,when Jenny’s father came into read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed.

Paragraph 2:
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered,the father dragged out a blue box.

Paragraph 1:
Several days later,when Jenny’s father came into read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed.When listening to the story,Jenny was totally absent-minded,with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly.When the story came to an end,unexpectedly,Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father,with her fingers trembling automatically.No one knew what the necklace meant to her.She whispered to her father,softly and gently,“Daddy,you know I love you more than the necklace.” Then,the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.
Paragraph 2:
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered,the father dragged out a blue box.Much to Jenny’s amazement,a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box,which set her heart racing.Jenny froze there,a thrilled expression twisting her face.Before Jenny was able to say something,her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his arms.Holding the genuine necklace in her hand,Jenny lifted her lip,tears beginning to blur her vision.

M:The first time we meet a person,it is often difficult to carry on a conversation.Let us suppose we are introduced to someone at a party.One good first question would be to ask the person how he or she knows the host or hostess.If the person answers formally by calling you Mr or Ms,you could then say something like “please call me Susan”.This could immediately make the conversation more informal.In addition,if you are asked a question,try not to answer with only one or two words.Look at the person in the eyes and stand close enough to show you are interested in what he or she is saying.
Follow this plan,and you’ll probably soon find something you are both interested in,such as a recent movie or a TV program,certain types of food or sports.Stay away from subjects that could cause arguments,such as political or religious topics.If the person is new to your town,you can introduce him or her to some of your other friends who are present.Anyhow,in a few minutes,both of you will feel much more relaxed and can enjoy each other’s company.
18.How can people make a conversation more informal immediately?
A.By looking other people in the eyes.
B.By asking others to use their first name.
C.By answering with only one or two words.
答案B
19.Why should people stand close enough to others in a conversation?
A.To show their interest.
B.To hear the words clearly.
C.To create a relaxing atmosphere.
答案A
20.Why should people avoid political or religious subjects?

Ieoh Ming Pei,one of the last great modernist architects,has passed away at the age of 102.Although he worked mostly in the United States,Pei will always be remembered for a European project: his redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s.
Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history,and initially his designs were fiercely opposed.But in the end,the French—and everyone else—were won over.His glass pyramid outside the Louvre,completed in 1989,is now one of Paris’ most famous landmarks.
Pei was born in China in 1917 into a wealthy family.His father was a banker.His artistic mother—a calligrapher and musician—had the greater influence on him.Despite not speaking English,he moved to the US at the age of 18 to study at Pennsylvania,MIT and Harvard.He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two,and went on to work as an architect,founding his own firm in 1955.He carried on working well into old age,creating one of his most famous masterpieces—the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha,Qatar—in his 80s.
He has designed buildings,hotels,schools and other structures across North America,Asia and Europe.His other work includes Dallas City Hall and Japan’s Miho Museum.His style was influenced by his love of Islamic architecture.His favoured building materials were glass and steel,with a combination of concrete.
He won a variety of awards and prizes for his buildings,including the AIA Gold Medal,the Praemium Imperiale for Architecture.In 1983,Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America.In person,Pei was always neatly dressed,good-tempered,charming and unusually modest.
【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了享誉世界的现代主义建筑大师贝聿铭的生平事迹。
24.What do we know about Pei and his work on the Louvre Museum?
A.The French approved of his designs at first.
B.Pei was the only foreign expert employed by the Louvre.
C.Pei made use of glass in his designs.
D.Pei retired after completing the work.
答案C

④He worked as a research scientist.

答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two,and went on to work as an architect,founding his own firm in 1955.”可知贝聿铭为美国政府担任研究科学家,之后在1955年成立了自己的公司;根据最后一段中的“In 1983,Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.”可知贝聿铭在66岁时被授予普利兹克建筑奖;根据第三段最后一句“He carried on working well into old age,creating one of his most famous masterpieces—the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha,Qatar—in his 80s.”可知,贝聿铭80多岁创作了卡塔尔多哈的伊斯兰艺术博物馆。故顺序为④②①③。故选C项。
26.What words can be used to describe Pei according to the passage?
A.Productive and humorous.
B.Generous and modest.
C.Determined and outgoing.
D.Attractive and responsible.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America.”可知,贝聿铭是非常慷慨大方的;以及文章最后一句“In person,Pei was always neatly dressed,good-tempered,charming and unusually modest.”可知,贝聿铭很谦虚。
27.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Louvre Pyramid Architect Died Aged 102
B.Prizes Awarded to Pei

Almost everyone who has studied English has been warned about the way Brits love their manners.It is part of our national identity,as much as fish and chips or complaining about the weather.Recently I have been wondering where this comes from and I read online that we say sorry up to eight times a day.Probably the same amount of times that any other person says “hello” or “how are you”.It is almost like greetings to us!It was only when I was explaining how there are five steps of saying thank you when you buy something from a shop to a Mexican friend of mine that I realised how mad it sounded.
After some research online I have not been able to find any specific reasons why we are the way we are.I suppose for centuries manners and how we eat at the table and talk to other people have been the barriers between the lower and upper classes and represent your social status.Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative country.There are many articles suggesting that this seemingly polite attitude of always saying please and thank you is quite false because it is impossible to always feel that you want to thank someone or say please.
Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are incredibly polite and hold back on their feelings or not polite at all,and express their true feelings.Some Brits are fed up of pretending that they are always content and having to please people.Sometimes because we feel we have to be polite,we are prevented from saying what we truly think.Do you think it is better to not hurt people’s feelings and be polite or to let people know the truth?In your country what is the custom?I know in some countries if someone is considered to be doing their job,the clients think that they do not need to be thanked.
【语篇解读】英国人待人彬彬有礼,讲话十分客气,“谢谢”“请”字不离口。
28.What does the author think of the British way of saying “Thank you”?
A.Normal. B.Surprising.
C.Exciting. D.Pleasing.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,直到作者向一位墨西哥朋友解释说“谢谢”有五个步骤的时候,他才意识到这听起来有多疯狂。由此可知,B项符合语境。
29.What does the author want to find out?
A.Why the British like to complain about the weather.
B.Why the British love their way of showing manners.
C.Why the British are fond of fish and chips so much.
D.Why the British have five steps of saying thank you.
答案B
解析细节理解题。文章第二段的第一、二句提到,作者在网上做了些研究以后也没找到确切的原因。结合文章的第一句可知,作者想找到为什么英国人有礼貌的原因。
30.What does the author think manners stand for centuries?
A.Wealth and health. B.Social status.
C.Politeness. D.Attitudes.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第二句可知,作者认为几个世纪以来,礼仪以及就餐和与他人交谈的方式一直是社会下层和上层社会之间的障碍,代表着他们的社会地位。故B项正确。
31.Why do Brits feel sometimes they have to be polite?
A.They want to express their true feelings.
B.They want to let people know the truth.
C.They are kept from saying what they think.
D.They want to represent their social status.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句“有时,因为我们觉得我们必须礼貌,我们被阻止说出我们真正的想法”可知,C项正确。
D
Chinese retail giant Alibaba has unveiled a new automated vehicle which it says is easy to mass-produce and could serve a number of functions.These could include delivery courier or automated coffee vendor(售货机).
The Cainiao G Plus can travel at up to nine miles per hour.It was shown at a conference where Alibaba founder Jack Ma announced a 100 billion yuan investment in smart logistics(物流).This includes devices such as warehouse robots as well as delivery aids.
AI expert and author Calum Chace described the G Plus as resembling the “ugly big brother” of a delivery bot developed by UK firm Starship Technologies.Starship has been working on this project for several years,so the Alibaba project looks to be behind as well as ugly,he said.But that won’t matter.Anything to do with artificial intelligence is a high priority for China,which has set itself the target of overtaking the US as world leader in AI by 2030.
China benefits from having free access to large amounts of data,essential for training algorithms(运算程序),he added—potentially a drawback in Europe since the introduction of GDPR legislation(立法),designed to protect privacy.
Don’t bet against the Chinese pulling ahead in any AI-related competition,be it self-driving cars,facial recognition,or delivery bots,Mr Chace said.
The G Plus vehicle is fitted with solid state Lidar—the laser sensors which form an important part of the system autonomous vehicles used to be aware of their surroundings.
There are various developers creating their own versions but essentially it uses fewer lasers and a tiny swinging mirror.Last month BMW revealed that its autonomous vehicles will be fitted with solid state Lidar when they launch in 2021.

According to the Office of Chinese Language Council International,some 100 million people,excluding native speakers,use Chinese 65 (global).
答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。俄罗斯的大学入学考试将把普通话作为选修外语。
56.an 考查冠词。language指的是“(某国)语言”时为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且elective以元音音素开头,所以用冠词an来修饰。
57.fifth 考查序数词。the+序数词表示“第……”。本句表示“第五”,所以应用序数词fifth。
58.has risen 考查动词时态。由“in the past decade”可知,本句用现在完成时,且主语为The number of Chinese learners,谓语用单数,故填has risen。
59.carried 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,设空处需用非谓语形式,且 survey 与carry out构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
60.to 考查介词。(an/the) approach to doing sth,表示“做某事的方法”,其中to为介词。
61.choosing 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,本句为with的复合结构作状语,people与choose在逻辑上构成主动关系,故用动词-ing形式。
62.their 考查代词。设空处修饰名词listening,reading and writing abilities,故用其形容词性物主代词形式。
63.characters 考查名词复数。character为可数名词,中国的汉字不止一个,故用character的复数形式。
64.who 考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词those,在后面的定语从句中作主语,且当先行词为those指人时,关系代词一般倾向于用who,不用that。故填who。
65.globally 考查副词。设空处修饰动词use。故填globally。

Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store,Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace,by which she was totally defeated.How eagerly she wanted it!But when she saw the price,her heart sank a little.She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her.Her mother said,“Well,it is a pretty necklace,but it costs an awful lot of money.I can buy you the necklace,but when we get home,we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately,feeling a burst of joy.So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day.Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy.When Jenny went to bed,he would read Jenny her favourite story.One night when he finished the story,he said,“Jenny,do you love me?” “Oh,yes,Daddy,you know I love you.” the little girl said delightedly,with a broad smile on her face.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” Hearing that,Jenny froze there,an anxious expression twisting her face.“Oh!Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Rosy,my favourite doll.Remember her?You gave her to me last year for my birthday.Okay?” “Oh no,darling,that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss,gently and calmly.“Good night,little one.”
A week later,her father once again asked Jenny after her story,“Do you love me?” “Oh yes,Daddy,you know I love you.” the little girl murmured softly,trying to escape from her father’s eyes.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” “Oh,Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Ribbons,my toy horse.Do you remember her?She is my favourite.” The little girl begged.“No,that’s okay,” her father said,smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.“God bless you,little one.Sweet dreams.”
Paragraph 1:
Several days later,when Jenny’s father came into read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered,the father dragged out a blue box.

参考范文
Paragraph 1:
Several days later,when Jenny’s father came into read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed.When listening to the story,Jenny was totally absent-minded,with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly.When the story came to an end,unexpectedly,Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father,with her fingers trembling automatically.No one knew what the necklace meant to her.She whispered to her father,softly and gently,“Daddy,you know I love you more than the necklace.” Then,the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.
Paragraph 2:
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered,the father dragged out a blue box.Much to Jenny’s amazement,a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box,which set her heart racing.Jenny froze there,a thrilled expression twisting her face.Before Jenny was able to say something,her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his arms.Holding the genuine necklace in her hand,Jenny lifted her lip,tears beginning to blur her vision.
