A
Readers’ Favorite Running Routes
Paul Ghent, Belgium
I love running in Ghent. It is completely flat, so encouraging for beginners and people aiming for personal bests. There is a rowing lake with a 5km track. This connects with a nature reserve on an 8km loop. If that isn’t enough, there is another nature reserve, full of birds and canals surrounded by a 10km loop. I will be running my first marathon in Ghent in March 2022. Anyone?
Jennifer Nice, France
In Nice Provence, I really enjoyed joining the local joggers running along what is one of the most beautiful streets in the world—the Promenade des Anglais. You have the fresh salty sea breezes filling your lungs, the sun shining on the waves of the sea, and the beautiful buildings standing along the running route. Feel free to grab some fresh shellfish and a glass of wine on the beach as a reward.
Lisa Offa, UK
The Offa’s Dyke path, which runs from Prestatyn to Chepstow, provides stunning scenery and is just perfect to focus on the run. The sections of the route I like the most include the slopes (坡地) of Moel Famau and the section from Llangollen to Bodfari, where there is an excellent pub (The Dinorben Arms) to refuel in comfort. Perfect.
Richard Protaras, Cyprus
My favorite route is in Protaras, Cyprus. There is a path that runs from Fig Tree bay to Polyxenia beach and you have wonderful views of the bays and beaches while running. The amazing clear seas and sandy beaches make it very pleasant. The best time to go is early morning when the sun isn’t blazing and the paths aren’t too busy with holidaymakers.
21. Which route best suits people who enjoy nature reserves?
A. Nice, France. B. Offa, UK.
C. Ghent, Belgium. D. Protaras, Cyprus.
22. What do the routes shared by Jennifer and Richard have in common?
A. They have beautiful streets. B. They have lovely sea views.
C. They are famous for seafood. D. They are fit for morning runners.
23. Where can the text be found?
A. In a science paper. B. In a history novel.

【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Jennifer Nice, France部分的“You have the fresh salty sea breezes filling your lungs, the sun shining on the waves of the sea(清新的海风吹进你的肺里，阳光照在海浪上)”和Richard Protaras, Cyprus部分的“The amazing clear seas and sandy beaches make it very pleasant.(令人惊叹的清澈的大海和沙滩使它非常令人愉快)”可知，Jennifer和Richard分享的路线的共同之处在于它们都拥有美丽的海景。故选B。

My mother at 85 was quick, with good vision and sharp reaction for her age, but one day she knocked into three parked cars on a supermarket parking lot. We never found out exactly how it happened, but the investigators figured Mom hit the accelerator instead of the brake.
Mom was lucky, even though she spent two weeks in the hospital. But we unwillingly concluded that it was time to take Mom's car keys. Tears ran down her cheeks. I think she never felt old until that moment, when I took away the independence provided by the car.
In the days that followed, we suggested she take taxis to shop, but she wouldn’t do it: “That’s not my styled Fortunately, she lived in the city and quickly slipped into the habit of taking the bus She began to enjoy her new life. But most old people have no convenient public transportation or shops within walking distance.
We seemed to have made a right decision. But is tragedy like that a reason to take away the car keys of the elderly? I think not Age doesn’t necessarily prove anything. Slower reactions or not, senior citizens are much better than teenagers. They usually drive more slowly. They get honked at a lot, but their slower speed reduces the risk of death and destruction. The worst risk-takers on the highway are young men between the ages of 18 to 25, but no one suggests taking away their keys or raising the driving age to 26.
The death rate in the past year for motorists between 16 and 20, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, was more than double that for drivers over 70. The older citizen who tries to avoid danger is likely to take personal responsibility more seriously than a younger person who causes danger through partying and risk.
So, let Granny drive for as long as she can. Road age is a lot less dangerous than road rage.
24. Why was Mom sad when her car keys were taken away?
A. Because she was seriously injured.
B. Because she realized she was old.
C. Because she was misunderstood.
D. Because she had to walk to shop.
25. What did the writer think of their decision?
A. Necessary B. Ridiculous C. Unreasonable D. Unimportant
26. Which of the following opinions does the writer support?
A. Both senior and young drivers take risks while driving.
B. It’s necessary to raise the driving age to 26.
C. Men under 26 should be forbidden to drive.
D. Seniors shouldn’t be banned from driving only because of their age.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The accident Mom caused. B. The issue of senior drivers.
C. The legal age to drive. D. The bad teenage driving.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者先讲述自己的母亲因为在超市停车场撞了三辆车而被子女拿走车钥匙从此不允许驾车，并由此提出了是不是应该禁止老年人开车的问题。有关信息显示，年轻人因为鲁莽泄愤引发的交通事故远比老年人因为迟缓而出现的交通事故多得多，所以作者得出结论：既然允许年轻人开车，那么老年人也应该有权利开车。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。从第二段中的“Tears ran down her cheeks. I think. the independence provided by the car（眼泪顺着她的脸颊流下来。 我认为。 汽车提供的独立性）”，可知，当妈妈的车钥匙被拿走时，她之所以会难过，是因为她意识到自己老了。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“We seemed to have made a right decision. But is tragedy like that a reason to take away the car keys of the elderly? I think not. Age doesn’t necessarily prove anything（我们似乎做了一个正确决定。 但这样的悲剧能成为夺走老人车钥匙的理由吗? 我认为不是。 年龄不一定能证明什么）”，可知，作者认为他们的决定有不合情合理。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I think not Age doesn’t necessarily prove anything. Slower reactions or not, senior citizens are much better than teenagers. They usually drive more slowly. They get honked at a lot, but their slower speed reduces the risk of death and destruction. The worst risk-takers on the highway are young men between the ages of 18 to 25, but no one suggests taking away their keys or raising the driving age to 26. （我认为年龄并不能证明什么。不管反应慢不慢，老年人都比青少年好得多。他们通常开得比较慢。 它们经常按喇叭，但它们较慢的速度降低了死亡和破坏的风险。在高速公路上最冒险的是年龄在18到25岁之间的年轻人，但没有人建议拿走他们的钥匙或把开车年龄提高到26岁）”，可知，老年人不应该仅仅因为年龄就被禁止开车。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。本文通过85岁的妈妈开车发生事故，作者拿走了妈妈的车钥匙的故事以及第四段“We seemed to have made a right decision. But is tragedy like that a reason to take away the car keys of the elderly? I think not Age doesn’t necessarily prove anything. Slower reactions or not, senior citizens are much better than teenagers. They usually drive more slowly. They get honked at a lot, but their slower speed reduces the risk of death and destruction.

C
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) to its list of extinct species in July, 2022. People will never see a living Chinese paddlefish again as it has been declared extinct. For many people in China, this may have been the first time they heard the name of the fish that was once a denizen (常客) of the Yangtze River Basin.
The fish had lived in the Yangtze River Basin since about 200 million years ago. It was among the world’s biggest freshwater species and could grow up to 7.5 meters in length. The last time the fish was spotted was in 2003 in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Yibin, Sichuan Province. It was an injured female sturgeon (鲟鱼). After local people treated its wounds, it was released into the river.
According to the IUCN, the global sturgeon reassessment found that all remaining 26 sturgeon species in the world are now at risk of extinction, up from 85 in 2009. Their decline over the past three generations is steeper than previously thought.
“The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish should be a warning for everyone,” said Zhou Fei, China’s chief program officer at the World Wide Fund for Nature. “It has provided an opportunity for conservation experts to raise public awareness about the urgency of protecting freshwater species in the Yangtze River Basin and educate the public on the need for more efforts to save other species living in the region from extinction,” he added.
To prevent further loss of freshwater species in China, people must act urgently. There is no time to waste. Also, long-term threats to their life and habitats must be eliminated by taking systematic protection measures. The protection of biodiversity will delay the extinction of some species. It’s not something that can be achieved by certain departments. Instead, it requires joint efforts from all sectors of society.
28. What did the IUCN announce recently?
A. The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish.
B. A new list of endangered wildlife in the world.
C. A prohibition on overfishing in freshwater lakes.
D. The discovery of a rare species in the Yangtze River.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To present the diversity of freshwater species.
B. To stress the key role of sturgeon in the ecosystem.
C. To offer some information about the Chinese paddlefish.
D. To show the difficulty of protecting the Chinese paddlefish.
30. What can we learn from Zhou Fei’s words?
A. The extinction of species is a wake-up call to mankind.
B. It is challenging for the public to save endangered species.
C. The global sturgeon has been declining sharply in recent years.
D. The loss of freshwater species results in serious consequences.
31. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Ignored. B. Removed. C. Estimated. D. Preserved.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了中华鲟灭绝的事实，同时该物种的灭绝给人类敲响了保护长江流域淡水物种的警钟。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) to its list of extinct species in July, 2022. People will never see a living Chinese paddlefish again as it has been declared extinct. (国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）于2022年7月将中国白鲟列入灭绝物种名单。人们将再也看不到活着的中国白鲟了，因为它已经被宣布灭绝)”可知，IUCN最近宣布了中华鲟的灭绝。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The fish had lived in the Yangtze River Basin since about 200 million years ago. It was among the world’s biggest freshwater species and could grow up to 7.5 meters in length. The last time the fish was spotted was in 2003 in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Yibin, Sichuan Province.(这种鱼早在2亿年前就生活在长江流域。它是世界上最大的淡水物种之一，可以长到7.5米长。上一次发现这种鱼是在2003年四川省宜宾市长江上游)”可知，第二段从生存的年代，体长以及生存场所等方面提供一些有关中国白鲟的资料。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish should be a warning for everyone,(中国白鲟的灭绝应该给所有人一个警告)”以及“It has provided an opportunity for conservation experts to raise public awareness about the urgency of protecting freshwater species in the Yangtze River Basin and educate the public on the need for more efforts to save other species living in the region from extinction.(它为保护专家提供了一个机会，以提高公众对保护长江流域淡水物种的紧迫性的意识，并教育公众需要付出更多努力，以拯救生活在该地区的其他物种免于灭绝)”可知，中华鲟该物种的灭绝给人类敲响了保护长江流域淡水物种的警钟。故选A。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“To prevent further loss of freshwater species in China, people must act urgently. There is no time to waste.(为了防止中国淡水物种的进一步流失，人们必须紧急行动起来。没有时间可以浪费了)”可知，为了防止中国淡水物种的进一步流失，人们必须紧急行动起来，因此对淡水的生命和栖息地长期威胁应该被消除。由此推知，划线词与removed为同义词，意为“消除”。故选B。
D
Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest. But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.
Scientists have known that close friendships do good to health. That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.
So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health. Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.
Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”
32. Which column does the passage probably come from?
A. Sports. B. Health. C. Fashion. D. Entertainment.
33. Which of the following is the closest to the underlined word “drawbacks”?
A. challenges. B. mistakes. C. influences. D. disadvantages.
34. According to what Allen said, we can know that ________.
A. in order to do better at school, teens should not follow the crowd
B. teens take up smoking, drinking or using drugs face peer pressure
C. despite the challenges in peer pressure, teens should not give up
D. parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It is not easy to get along with peers.
B. Teen friendships may make healthier adults.
C. It is important to deal with teens’ pressure.
D. Adults should pay attention to teens’ health.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一个朋友关系对健康的影响的调查研究。研究表明，朋友较少、没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康些。当然，加入周围的朋友圈也有坏处。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段的“ But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.(但新的研究表明，和朋友在一起的青少年成年后可能会更健康)”和下文内容可知，本文主要介绍保持朋友关系对健康的影响。所以应该出现在健康专栏。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。由下文内容“Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. (更独立的青少年往往在学校和工作中表现更好。同龄人的压力可能会导致一些孩子的危险行为，如吸烟、饮酒或吸毒。)”结合上文“Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen,(艾伦说，随大流可能有好处。)”可知，随大流可能有好处，但也有缺点，比如吸烟、饮酒或吸毒，所以猜测drawbacks为“缺点”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead to some kids’ risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs.(艾伦说，随大流可能有好处，但也有缺点。更独立的青少年往往在学校和工作中表现更好。同龄人的压力可能会导致一些孩子的危险行为，如吸烟、饮酒或吸毒。)”可知，与周围的人友好相处使得人们在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来“peer pressure”，也就是周围同龄人带来的压力，即“同行压力”。 peer pressure会导致许多问题，如何应对同行压力对于青少年来说成为了一个挑战。分析Allen 的话“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.(找到正确的平衡是关键。青少年不应该因为不容易而灰心。)”可知，青少年要应对同行压力，找到正确的平衡是关键，青少年不能因为很难找到平衡就灰心丧气。故选C项。
【35题详解】

Why Are Plane Seats Always Blue?
Planes are an engineering masterpiece. Since they were invented, they have made the world a better place. Like never before, we can travel to almost every corner of the world within hours.
____36____ The only time they land is when they need to get passengers on board or go through regular checks. This means the crew doesn’t have much time to clean up the plane. ____37____ Airlines are likely to go with dark blue fabric (布料)—it’s much more of a bother to clear up a red wine spill on white fabric than on blue.
Blue is also a color that can make passengers less anxious. If you are an 18-year-old teenager, you are probably not afraid of flying. But the aviation (航空) industry isn’t that old. ____38____ In fact, even today in the 21st century, 5% of the world’s population has ever flown on an airplane, which is extremely low. But that also means, most people are afraid of flying. Some statistics show that around 80 percent of people are scared to fly. ____39____ Compared to other means of transport such as cars, it’s a much safer option.
Anyway, people are afraid of heights. That’s why planes are purposefully designed in such a way to make you feel safe. For example, the color red is associated with objects to remind people of danger or to warn people that they need to stop. Green is used to make people aware of the presence of an emergency exit. ____40____
A. The airline business is expensive.
B. Unlike cars, planes are made to fly all the time.
C. Many airlines redesign or change their seats often.
D. Of course, it doesn’t make sense to be afraid of boarding a plane.
E. As recent as the 2000s, not many people had the opportunity to fly.
F. That’s why the seats must be designed in a way to look clean all the time.
G. But blue is a calm color associated with the positive qualities of trust and peace.
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. E 39. D 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了飞机上的座位都是蓝色的原因，蓝色容易清理，而且蓝色也更加容易让人不那么焦虑。
【36题详解】
根据下文“The only time they land is when they need to get passengers on board or go through regular checks.(它们唯一降落的时间是它们需要让乘客登机或进行常规检查的时候)”可知，飞机大部分时间都是在飞行。选项B“Unlike cars, planes are made to fly all the time.(和汽车不一样的是，飞机就是为了飞行而生)”与下文一致。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“This means the crew doesn’t have much time to clean up the plane.(这意味着机组人员没有太多时间清理飞机)”可知，机组人员没有很多时间用在清理飞机上；而由下文“Airlines are likely to go with dark blue fabric (布料)—it’s much more of a bother to clear up a red wine spill on white fabric than on blue.(航空公司可能会选择深蓝色的布料——清理白色布料上的红酒比清理蓝色布料上的红酒要麻烦得多)”可知航空公司希望飞机上看起来不那么脏。选项F“That’s why the seats must be designed in a way to look clean all the time. (这就是为什么座椅的设计必须始终保持干净)”承上启下，符合题意。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据下文“In fact, even today in the 21st century, 5% of the world’s population has ever flown on an airplane, which is extremely low.(事实上，即使在21世纪的今天，世界上也只有5%的人曾经乘坐过飞机，这是非常低的)”可知，坐飞机的人数并不是很多。选项E“As recent as the 2000s, not many people had the opportunity to fly.(直到21世纪，没有多少人有机会坐飞机)”与下文一致。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Some statistics show that around 80 percent of people are scared to fly.(一些统计数据显示，大约80%的人害怕乘坐飞机)”可知，有很多害怕坐飞机；而根据下文“Compared to other means of transport such as cars, it’s a much safer option.(与汽车等其他交通工具相比，这是一个更安全的选择)”可知，其实飞机还是比较安全的出行方式。由此可以判断，害怕坐飞机是没有必要的。选项D“Of course, it doesn’t make sense to be afraid of boarding a plane.(害怕坐飞机是没有意义的)”承上启下，符合题意。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“For example, the color red is associated with objects to remind people of danger or to warn people that they need to stop. Green is used to make people aware of the presence of an emergency exit.(例如，红色与提醒人们危险或警告人们需要停下来的物体联系在一起。绿色是用来让人们意识到紧急出口的存在)”可知，上文是说不同的颜色给人不同的感觉。选项G“But blue is a calm color associated with the positive qualities of trust and peace.(而蓝色是一种平静的颜色，与信任、和平等积极的品质联系在一起)”讲的是蓝色给人的感觉，与上文一致。故选G。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了笑声瑜伽，它提倡使用笑作为一种体育锻炼的形式。
【56题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：虽然笑声瑜伽肯定包括一些瑜伽，但不要期望它与你当地的工作室或健身房提供的瑜伽课程有太多的共同点。过去分词作定语和所修饰的内容有被动完成的关系，offer“提供”修饰the yoga classes“瑜伽课”，与之为被动关系，需用过去分词。故填offered。
【57题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：它提倡使用笑作为一种体育锻炼的形式，更重视前者比后者。句中“than”提示，形容词应用比较级，需用much的比较级修饰importance。故填more。
【58题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：笑声瑜伽是在20世纪90年代中期，作为一项社会实验而创立的。Laughter Yoga “笑声瑜伽”（名词单数）和创立create为被动关系，谓语动词create需要用被动语态（be+过去分词）。in the mid-1990s“在20世纪90年代中期”是过去时间，谓语用一般过去时。故填was created。
【59题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：1995年，马丹 · 卡塔里亚博士在一个公园里召集了一群学生，来测试在人们的生活中加入有规律的笑声是否会提高他们的幸福感……。call on somebody to do something“号召某人干某事”为动词加复合宾语结构，动词不定式在句中作宾补。故填to test。
【60题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：同4题。well-being“幸福”为名词，需要用物主代词限定。故填their。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：……卡塔里亚博士还在练习中引入了深呼吸和简单的瑜伽动作。introduce…into…“把……引进……”为动词固定短语，故填into。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意：医学研究已经表明，语言是减轻压力和帮助人们感觉良好的好方法。根据上下文可知，此处应该用现在完成时，表达过去的动作对现在的影响，医学研究已经表明。主语Medical research“医学研究”为第三人称单数名词。故填has suggested。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：Kataria笑声俱乐部如雨后春笋般出现，反应了人们处理压力的需要。。handle“处理”为及物动词，后面需要接名词作宾语。press的名词形式为pressure，故填pressure。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句关系代词。句意：Kataria还为那些无法进入当地笑声俱乐部的人，提供书籍和DVDs。分析句子可知，此为含有定语从句的复合句。先行词为people，who代替people，指人，引导定语从句，在从句中作主语。故填who。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然而，大笑瑜伽在帮助人们感觉更好、体验更多快乐方面的成功，很大程度（部分）上取决于人与人之间的联系。part“部分”为可数名词，此处big part为单数，big首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
【点睛】英语学习中，尽量在篇章句子中学习词汇和语法知识。通过本篇课文我们可以学到
词汇、短语，如：1. classes offered…提供的课程2. call on…to do…号召……干……；3. introduce…to…引进……句型：Kataria also offer books and DVDs to people who don’t have access to a local Laughter Club. Kataria 还为那些无法进入当地笑声俱乐部的人，提供书籍和 DVDs。

On a weekend, a woman won a big bag of coins at a game machine. She took a break for dinner with her husband in the hotel dining room. But first she wanted to put the coins in her room.
“I’ll be right back and we’ll go to eat,” she told her husband. Then she carried the bag to the lift. As she was about to walk into the lift she noticed two men already aboard.
Both were huge, very huge figures. The woman was scared. Her first thought was: “These two are going to rob me.” Her next thought was: “Don’t be afraid. They look like nice gentlemen.”
But fear seized her. She stood and stared at the two men. She felt anxious and ashamed. She hoped they didn’t read her mind. Surely they knew her hesitation about joining them in the lift. It was all too obvious. Her face was red. She couldn’t just stand there, so with an effort of will she picked up one foot and stepped forward and followed with the other foot and was on the lift. Avoiding eye contact, she turned around and faced the lift doors as they closed.
A second passed, and then another second, and then another. Her fear increased! The lift didn’t move. Panic consumed her. “Oh dear,” she thought, “I’m about to be robbed!”
Her heart sank and sweat poured. Then one of the men said, “Hit the floor.” Instinct (本能) told her: Do what they tell you. The bag of coins flew upwards as she threw out her arms and collapsed on the lift carpet. A shower of coins rained down on her. “Take my money and spare me,” she prayed. More seconds passed.
She heard one of the men say politely, “Madam, if you’ll just tell us what floor you’re going to, we’ll push the button.” The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He couldn’t help laughing.
Para. 1：She lifted her head and looked up at the two men.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2：Then, the lift arrived at her floor.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Para. 1: She lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up. She felt confused and struggled to stand up. That man continued, “When I told my friend here to hit the floor, I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn’t mean for you to hit the floor, Madam.” He spoke pleasantly with a smile.
Para.2: Then, the lift arrived at her floor. They then insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor. At her door they said to her “Good evening.” As she slipped in her room, she could hear them bursting into laughter as they walked back to the elevator. The woman tried to pretend everything was alright. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband.
