Wetlands exist in every country and in every climatic zone. Healthy wetlands store carbon, regulate the water cycle, and support 40% of the world’s biodiversity. Jiangxi Poyang Lake Nanji Wetlands Nanji Wetlands is located in the southern part of the main lake area of Poyang Lake, covering a total area of 33,300 hectares. It is an incredibly valuable ecosystem and serves as a vital habitat for various wetland bird species, including many national first-class and second-class protected animals. Anhui Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve The Anhui Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve is a freshwater lake wetland, with an area of 33,333 hectares. It is primarily set up as the wintering grounds of rare birds. Within the reserve, there are a total of 142 bird species, including 66 species of migratory (遷徙的) birds. This reserve holds the distinction of being the largest natural wintering ground for the hooded crane (丹頂鶴) population worldwide. Gansu Yellow River Shouqu Wetlands The Gansu Yellow River Shouqu National Nature Reserve is located within Maqu county. It covers a total area of 203,401 hectares, with 132,067 hectares intended for wetland conservation. The primary objective of this reserve is to protect the highland wetland ecosystem, as well as the habitat of migratory birds, particularly the black-necked crane. In February 2020, it was officially approved as a Wetland of International Importance. Guangdong Nanpeng Islands Reserve Established in 2003, Guangdong Nanpeng Islands Reserve covers a total area of 35,679 hectares. In 2015, it was recognized and included in the International Important Wetlands Directory. The main focus of the reserve is to protect the unique underwater natural landscape, the ecosystems of the nearby coastal waters, the important rare and endangered marine (海洋的) animals.21.Which wetland covers the largest area?A.Nanji Wetlands. B.Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve.C.Shouqu Wetlands. D.Guangdong Nanpeng Islands Reserve.22.What is the primary purpose of founding Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve?A.To preserve natural landscapes. B.To house rare birds in winter.C.To reproduce hooded cranes. D.To store freshwater.23.What does Guangdong Nanpeng Islands Reserve mainly protect?A.Highland wetland ecosystem. B.Marine ecosystems.C.Underwater animals. D.Bird habitats.B An adorable dog has learnt to deal with life without sight thanks to the team at Dogs Trust’s Dog School. The dog Darwin was born at the charity’s Basildon centre in October last year after his mum was smuggled (偷運) into the country. Staff soon discovered that he was completely blind, and required a family who were willing to support his needs. Thankfully, Darwin soon found his forever home with Bethany Godbert in Hertfordshire, and successfully graduated from Dog School at nine months old. Charlotte Vallancey, a Dog School Coach, said, “As Darwin is blind, we adapted our usual training methods in order to help him and ensure the training was best suited to him and Bethany. Working on verbal cues (語言提示) was important and we used clear sounds that Darwin could easily pick up on, as well as using the smell of tasty treats as a guide for him to follow. We focused on the skills that Darwin would need to live safely and happily with his family.” “We are very grateful to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for helping us to fund key roles. By helping to fund our Dog School Coaches, we are able to provide help and support for dogs like Darwin and his loving owner, Bethany.” Darwin isn’t Bethany’s first rescue dog; she also adopted a three-year-old dog, Newton, in 2019. Bethany said, “Newton immediately accepted Darwin as his fur-brother and best friend, and they are great together. I was so impressed with how helpful Dog School was to Darwin, he enjoyed attending the training sessions, and all the help and support enabled me to understand how I can better communicate with Darwin. Since Darwin graduated, I began volunteering at the Dog School each week, so I can also help dogs like Darwin.”24.What took place in Darwin’s life?A.He lost his mum in Basildon.B.He lost his sight in an accident.C.He was saved by a Dog School Coach.D.He became a member of Bethany’s family.25.How did Dog School help Darwin make a new start?A.By inviting Charlotte to treat him.B.By using training methods that suited him.C.By keeping him healthy with tasty meals.D.By giving him time to be alone with Bethany.26.What impressed Bethany?A.Darwin’s friendship with Newton. B.Darwin’s lovely and friendly nature.C.The efforts of Dog School Coaches. D.The support from People’s Postcode Lottery.27.Which of the following can best describe Bethany?A.Caring. B.Strict.C.Open-minded. D.Hard-working.C Under a midday summer sun in California’s Sacramento Valley, rice farmer Peter Rystrom walks across a dusty and bare plot of land, dry soil crunching (碎裂) beneath each step. In a typical year, he’d be walking across green rice fields in inches of water. But today the soil is dry and baking in the 35℃ heat. It hasn’t rained for 4 weeks in a row. “Climate change is expected to worsen the state’s extreme swings in rainfall,” researchers reported in Nature Climate Change in 2018. Low water levels in rivers have forced farmers like Rystrom, whose family has been growing rice on this land for four generations, to reduce their water use. “If we lose our rice crops, we have to deal with severe food crisis. Climate change is already threatening rice-growing regions around the world. This is not a future problem. This is happening now,” says plant geneticist Pamela Ronald of the University of California, Davis, who identifies genes in rice that help the plant stand up to dryness, disease, flood, etc. To save and even boost production, rice growers, engineers and researchers have turned to water-saving irrigation (灌溉) routines. Building canal systems and reservoirs (水庫) can help farmers dampen their fields. But for some, the solution to rice’s climate-related problems lies in enhancing the plant itself. They hold that establishing rice gene banks that store hundreds of thousands of rice varieties ready to be bred into new, dryness-tolerant varieties is more practical and effective. Solutions may be hidden in the DNA of those older breeds. Three decades have passed since its initial development, and some researchers are looking beyond the genetic variability preserved in rice gene banks, searching instead for useful genes from other species, including plants and bacteria. But picking genes from one species and putting them into another, or genetic recombination, remains debatable. The most famous example of genetically changed rice is Golden Rice (GR). “Looking ahead, it will be crucial for countries to embrace GR. But it will take time,” says Ismail, principal scientist at IRRI.28.What problem does Rystrom have to deal with?A.Thirst. B.Drought.C.Hot sun. D.Dusty weather.29.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Downtrend of rice-growing areas is severe now.B.Climate change is a threatening factor in the future.C.Humans will face starvation if crop failure happens.D.Food crisis is a common occurrence around the world.30.What’s the purpose of setting up gene banks?A.To store as many seeds as possible. B.To cultivate climate-adapted varieties.C.To improve the efficiency of breeding. D.To show the technology of gene mapping.31.What’s Ismail’s opinion about GR?A.Favourable. B.Impractical.C.Disapproving. D.Insecure.D For the first time in about 100 years, a rare bird called the takahē (短翅水雞) is walking freely along the Lake Whakatipu Waimaori Valley in New Zealand after 18 captive birds were released into the wild. The area is also home to a Maori tribe called Ngai Tahu, which has spent years campaigning for the birds to return to their land. The Maori are New Zealand’s Indigenous people(first people known to live there), and they consider the takahē bird to be “taonga”, meaning a treasure. Takahē are large, round, flightless birds with red legs, and they have lived in New Zealand since prehistoric times. Like many New Zealand birds, takahē evolved to be flightless because there were no mammals to compete with. When Europeans arrived in New Zealand, however, predators such as cats and ferrets were introduced and killed off many flightless birds. Takahē were declared extinct in 1898, but a small number of the birds were discovered in 1948 in a remote part of the Murchison Mountains. Since then, conservationists have been trying to restore the takahē population in captivity. They gathered the bird’s eggs in order to keep the chicks safe from predators. The chicks were raised by volunteers, who fed them while wearing sockpuppets on their hands to imitate the parent birds. There are now about 500 takahē birds in captivity. Several pairs of adult birds have been released into the island’s sanctuaries and national parks. Experts will monitor them to see how they adapt to their new environment. If everything goes well, they hope to release seven more birds this month and 10 young birds next year. Ta Tipene O’Regan, an elder of the Ngai Tahu tribe, helped to release the birds. He told The Guardian newspaper, “There are few things more beautiful than to watch these large birds running back into lands where they haven’t walked for over a century. It’s an absolute joy.”32.As for Maori people, how are takahē?A.Valuable. B.Dangerous.C.Adaptable. D.Entertaining.33.What caused takahē flightless according to Paragraph 2?A.Big bodies. B.Long time captivity.C.Native people’s protection. D.No competitors.34.What does the underlined word “chicks” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Eggs. B.Predators.C.Baby birds. D.Parent takahē.35.Which is probably the best title for the text?A.Native Birds Back in the Wild B.A Big Joy of Maori TribesC.Rare Eggs Protected by Volunteers D.Distinct Mammals in New Zealand第二節(共5小題;每小題2.5分, 滿分12.5分) 閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 It has been more than 40 years since anyone spotted a Japanese river otter (水獺). And the once common Tangtze River dolphins have either disappeared or are very rarely seen. 36 . But the advancement of technology could mean that the extinction of other species is not a given (必然). A huge challenge scientists and conservationists encounter is tracking species facing extinction in order to help them. 37 . One example is the Maui dolphin, one of the rarest and most threatened dolphins in the ocean. Familiar with their summer behavior, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mammals living off the coast of New Zealand. 38 . After four years of developing, testing and fundraising, these scientists received permission to use a drone with AI that tracked the dolphins no matter the season. The result was the extension of a marine safety place to protect their habitat. 39 , AI is being used to enhance traditional methods of preventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park on Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, an illegal entry point. AI immediately detects this activity and alerts park rangers, who deal with the illegal hunters. In Brazil, AI quickly analyzed over 150,000 satellite images, revealing that the world’s largest tropical wetlands lost 74 per cent of its surface water. 40 . The use of AI has helped to accelerate action and increase conservationists’ ability to protect the natural world for generations to come.A.Give animals on the edge of extinction a fighting chance to surviveB.In Zambia’s Kafue National Park, home to more than 6,000 elephantsC.Not until that revelation (揭露) were authorities aware of how desperate the situation wasD.Saving them was challenging because their whereabouts (行蹤) were relatively unknownE.These are just a few of the species that have been listed as extinct or locally extinct in recent yearsF.However, because of weather conditions, researchers knew next to nothing about their winter behaviorG.This is where AI has brought about a revolution in the way data on these species is collected and analyzed36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 第三部分 語言運用(共兩節,滿分30分)第一節(共15小題;每小題1分,滿分15分) 閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。 “I’m not a patient person at all,” says Tesni Ward, a wildlife photographer. As Ward continues, it becomes clear she’s talking about her life 41 photography. It once took her about two hours to 42 the destination, two hours to find the mountain hares, about half an hour to get into the right 43 , and then she just sat there and waited for another two hours. And then, she 44 got the desired images with a hare stretching and running. What Ward can’t 45 is unethical wildlife photographers. These people are often 46 to wait for a long time and tend to 47 the photographing process. Having been sitting there for hours in vain can 48 photographers. In such a case, they 49 use some ways to attract animals out, which can 50 their natural behavior. According to Ward, a non-intrusive (非入侵的) way is to use a camera that shoots automatically when an animal is 51 . In the eyes of Ward, the 52 of wildlife photography is the unpredictability. “Every single encounter is going to be completely 53 , which excites me most,” says Ward. But of course, there are also a set of 54 . “Sometimes you take a lot of bad photos, because so many factors such as animals’ behavior and the light are out of your 55 ,” she says.

Thanks to 56 (generation) of tree planters, our surroundings are becoming much greener. In 2022, China completed the afforestation (植樹造林) of 3.83 million hectares and treated 1,847,300 hectares of rock-deserted land. After continuous effort, China has achieved 57 (remark) progress. China’s forest coverage rate has reached 24 per cent, and forest accumulation has reached 19 billion cubic meters, 58 has laid a solid foundation for maintaining national ecological security and 59 (improve) people’s well-being. In terms of vegetation (植被) restoration, in 2020 China published a guideline to perform a forest chief scheme nationwide. Principal leaders of governments should 60 (appoint) as “forest chiefs” at various levels ranging from the provincial level 61 the village level. Bazhou District in China’s Sichuan Province is 62 unique biodiversity ecological zone. In the past, the surface of the mountain there was exposed due to mining; 63 , after the government’s management, the area has returned to its former green self. In terms of ecological civilization education, in Shanghai, for example, an elementary school has 64 (creative) combined traditional Chinese medicine resources with AR technology to help children to learn plants. Meanwhile, Suzhou in Jiangsu Province has digitized tree planting activities through a mini-game on how 65 (identify) different types of trees.56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 第四部分 寫作(共兩節,滿分40分)第一節(滿分15分) 假定你是學校英文報編輯,最近你校外教James被評為學校十大最受歡迎教師之一。請你為學校英文報寫一篇報道,內容包括: 1.獲獎情況; 2.個人事跡。注意:1.寫作詞數應為80左右;2.請按如下格式作答。James: Among the Top 10 Most Popular Teachers 第二節(滿分25分) 閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。 Lola and I had been friends since we were little kids. Lola was a smart, funny friend. But at school, Lola just didn’t fit in.Lola’s hair was curly and her thick glasses made her look like a fish. Girls in our school wore trendy, brand-name clothes, but Lola sewed hers. She stood out like a sore thumb. Sometimes, it was embarrassing to be around Lola. People said rude things about her hair, clothes, glasses — even about the fact that she got really good grades. Lola always seemed to be able to ignore what other people thought, but I couldn’t. I started to keep my distance from her. There was a talent show in our school each spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do everything else to put in their talent. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night. Maya, an outgoing girl wanted me to be on her dance team.“We win the talent show every year, and we need a satisfactory graduation this year,”Maya said excitedly.“We need a new dancer. But just you, not her!” Maya pointed to someone behind me. I didn’t have to turn around — I knew who she meant.“Uh, sure,” I mumbled (咕噥). Maya was already heading out when I felt someone tap on my shoulder. It was Lola. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Lola asked me if I was going to be in the talent show. I hesitated without response.“That’s great, Jane!”Lola said.“I’m going to participate this year, too!” I couldn’t believe what I had heard.I even pictured Lola in front of a huge crowd, everybody yelling and teasing. I was starting to worry. The week passed quickly, and I barely saw Lola. I had to practice every day with Maya and the team. The other dancers already knew the steps, and I should keep up.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2.請按如下格式作答。Finally, the talent show came, and I felt more and more nervous. I walked off the stage and gave a glimpse of gratitude to Lola, who was ready to sing. 單元質量檢測(五) A delicate world第一部分1-5 ABCBC 6-10 BACBA11-15 CAACB 16-20 ABBCA聽力材料:(Text 1)W:When is your piano class over?M:It’s over at ten to five.

I didn’t want to be different from the rest of the group. Lola found me and gave me a big hug.“You’ll do great, Jane!” Lola comforted me.“You’re a wonderful dancer. Don’t care too much about what others think. Just be yourself.” Soon, I was taking my place on the stage. I remembered every step and every move.When the music was over, the crowd burst into cheers. I walked off the stage and gave a glimpse of gratitude to Lola, who was ready to sing.The crowd became restless. Could Lola ignore? Her home-made dress was shining in the light, but her eyes were blurred. I stood up, shouting, “Lola, you’re the best!” When Lola’s singing drifted out, allthe students became fascinated by her unique voice.Some began singing with her, and then more, their singing echoing around the hall. I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her exuberantly.That’s enough! A big hug healed everything, and we would never be estranged.9 / 9(共101張PPT)單元質量檢測(五)A delicate world(滿分150分,時間120分鐘)第一部分 聽力(共兩節,滿分30分)第一節(共5小題;每小題1.5分,滿分7.5分)聽下面5段對話,每段對話后有一個小題,從題中所給的A、B、C三個選項中選出最佳選項,并標在試卷的相應位置。聽完每段對話后,你都有10秒鐘的時間來回答有關小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話僅讀一遍。1.

The dog Darwin was born at thecharity’s Basildon centre in October last year after his mum wassmuggled (偷運) into the country. Staff soon discovered that he was completely blind, and required afamily who were willing to support his needs. Thankfully, Darwin soonfound his forever home with Bethany Godbert in Hertfordshire, andsuccessfully graduated from Dog School at nine months old. Charlotte Vallancey, a Dog School Coach, said, “As Darwin isblind, we adapted our usual training methods in order to help him andensure the training was best suited to him and Bethany. Working on verbalcues (語言提示) was important and we used clear sounds that Darwincould easily pick up on, as well as using the smell of tasty treats as aguide for him to follow. We focused on the skills that Darwin would needto live safely and happily with his family.” “We are very grateful to players of People’s Postcode Lottery forhelping us to fund key roles. By helping to fund our Dog SchoolCoaches, we are able to provide help and support for dogs like Darwinand his loving owner, Bethany.” Darwin isn’t Bethany’s first rescue dog; she also adopted a three-year-old dog, Newton, in 2019. Bethany said, “Newtonimmediately accepted Darwin as his fur-brother and best friend, and theyare great together. I was so impressed with how helpful Dog School was toDarwin, he enjoyed attending the training sessions, and all the help andsupport enabled me to understand how I can better communicate withDarwin. Since Darwin graduated, I began volunteering at the DogSchool each week, so I can also help dogs like Darwin.”語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。在慈善機構和熱心人的幫助下,盲犬Darwin被愛心人士收養,并且學會了在沒有視力的情況下如何生活。語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。在慈善機構和熱心人的幫助下,盲犬Darwin被愛心人士收養,并且學會了在沒有視力的情況下如何生活。24.

In a typical year, he’d bewalking across green rice fields in inches of water. But today the soil isdry and baking in the 35℃ heat. It hasn’t rained for 4 weeks in a row. “Climate change is expected to worsen the state’s extreme swingsin rainfall,” researchers reported in Nature Climate Change in 2018.Low water levels in rivers have forced farmers like Rystrom, whosefamily has been growing rice on this land for four generations, to reducetheir water use. “If we lose our rice crops, we have to deal with severe food crisis.Climate change is already threatening rice-growing regions around theworld. This is not a future problem. This is happening now,” says plantgeneticist Pamela Ronald of the University of California, Davis, whoidentifies genes in rice that help the plant stand up to dryness, disease,flood, etc. To save and even boost production, rice growers, engineers andresearchers have turned to water-saving irrigation (灌溉) routines.Building canal systems and reservoirs (水庫) can help farmers dampentheir fields. But for some, the solution to rice’s climate-relatedproblems lies in enhancing the plant itself. They hold that establishing ricegene banks that store hundreds of thousands of rice varieties ready to bebred into new, dryness-tolerant varieties is more practical and effective.Solutions may be hidden in the DNA of those older breeds. Three decades have passed since its initial development, and someresearchers are looking beyond the genetic variability preserved in ricegene banks, searching instead for useful genes from other species,including plants and bacteria. But picking genes from one species andputting them into another, or genetic recombination, remains debatable. The most famous example of genetically changed rice is Golden Rice (GR). “Looking ahead, it will be crucial for countries to embrace GR. But it will take time,” says Ismail, principal scientist at IRRI.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了氣候變化已經威脅到世界各地的稻米種植區,并討論了解決方案。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了氣候變化已經威脅到世界各地的稻米種植區,并討論了解決方案。28.

The Maori are NewZealand’s Indigenous people(first people known to live there), andthey consider the takahē bird to be “taonga”, meaning a treasure. Takahē are large, round, flightless birds with red legs, and theyhave lived in New Zealand since prehistoric times. Like many NewZealand birds, takahē evolved to be flightless because there were nomammals to compete with. When Europeans arrived in New Zealand,however, predators such as cats and ferrets were introduced and killed offmany flightless birds. Takahē were declared extinct in 1898, but a smallnumber of the birds were discovered in 1948 in a remote part of theMurchison Mountains. Since then, conservationists have been trying to restore the takahēpopulation in captivity. They gathered the bird’s eggs in order to keepthe chicks safe from predators. The chicks were raised byvolunteers, who fed them while wearing sockpuppets on their hands toimitate the parent birds. There are now about 500 takahē birds incaptivity. Several pairs of adult birds have been released into the island’ssanctuaries and national parks. Experts will monitor them to see how theyadapt to their new environment. If everything goes well, they hope torelease seven more birds this month and 10 young birds next year. Ta Tipene O’Regan, an elder of the Ngai Tahu tribe, helped torelease the birds. He told The Guardian newspaper, “There are fewthings more beautiful than to watch these large birds running back intolands where they haven’t walked for over a century. It’s an absolutejoy.”語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種罕見的新西蘭鳥類takahē被放歸自然的報道。這種鳥類是新西蘭毛利人的寶貴財富,在一百多年后再次出現在Whakatipu Waimaori 湖地區。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種罕見的新西蘭鳥類takahē被放歸自然的報道。這種鳥類是新西蘭毛利人的寶貴財富,在一百多年后再次出現在Whakatipu Waimaori 湖地區。32.

And the once common Tangtze River dolphins have eitherdisappeared or are very rarely seen. 36 . But the advancement oftechnology could mean that the extinction of other species is not a given(必然). A huge challenge scientists and conservationists encounter is trackingspecies facing extinction in order to help them. 37 . One example isthe Maui dolphin, one of the rarest and most threatened dolphins in theocean. Familiar with their summer behavior, researchers knew that therewere just 54 of these mammals living off the coast of NewZealand. 38 . After four years of developing, testing andfundraising, these scientists received permission to use a drone with AIthat tracked the dolphins no matter the season. The result was theextension of a marine safety place to protect their habitat. 39 , AI is being used to enhance traditional methods ofpreventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park onLake Itezhi-Tezhi, an illegal entry point. AI immediately detects thisactivity and alerts park rangers, who deal with the illegal hunters. In Brazil, AI quickly analyzed over 150,000 satellite images,revealing that the world’s largest tropical wetlands lost 74 per cent of itssurface water. 40 . The use of AI has helped to accelerate action and increaseconservationists’ ability to protect the natural world for generations tocome.A. Give animals on the edge of extinction a fighting chance to surviveB. In Zambia’s Kafue National Park, home to more than 6,000elephantsC.

Lola was asmart, funny friend. But at school, Lola just didn’t fit in.Lola’s hair was curly and her thick glasses made her look like a fish. Girls in ourschool wore trendy, brand-name clothes, but Lola sewed hers. Shestood out like a sore thumb. Sometimes, it was embarrassing to be around Lola. People saidrude things about her hair, clothes, glasses — even about the fact thatshe got really good grades. Lola always seemed to be able to ignore whatother people thought, but I couldn’t. I started to keep my distance fromher. There was a talent show in our school each spring. Students wouldsing, dance, play musical instruments, and do everything else to putin their talent. Being our graduation season in this senior school, thisyear’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a hugenight. Maya, an outgoing girl wanted me to be on her dance team.“Wewin the talent show every year, and we need a satisfactory graduationthis year,”Maya said excitedly.“We need a new dancer. But justyou, not her!” Maya pointed to someone behind me. I didn’t have to turn around — I knew who she meant.“Uh,sure,” I mumbled (咕噥). Maya was already heading out when I feltsomeone tap on my shoulder. It was Lola. When I saw her confusedface, it was like waking up from a dream. Lola asked me if I was goingto be in the talent show. I hesitated without response.“That’s great,Jane!”Lola said.“I’m going to participate this year, too!” Icouldn’t believe what I had heard.I even pictured Lola in front of a hugecrowd, everybody yelling and teasing. I was starting to worry.The week passed quickly, and I barely saw Lola. I had to practiceevery day with Maya and the team. The other dancers already knew thesteps, and I should keep up.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2. 請按如下格式作答。Finally, the talent show came, and I felt more and more nervous.

Don’t care too much about whatothers think. Just be yourself.” Soon, I was taking my place on thestage. I remembered every step and every move.When the music wasover, the crowd burst into cheers. I walked off the stage and gave a glimpse of gratitude to Lola, whowas ready to sing.The crowd became restless. Could Lola ignore? Herhome-made dress was shining in the light, but her eyes were blurred. Istood up, shouting, “Lola, you’re the best!” When Lola’ssinging drifted out, all the students became fascinated by her uniquevoice.Some began singing with her, and then more, their singingechoing around the hall. I rushed to the stage after her performance,hugging her exuberantly.That’s enough! A big hug healed everything,and we would never be estranged.謝謝觀看! 展開更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 單元質量檢測(五) A delicate world.docx 單元質量檢測(五) A delicate world.pptx 縮略圖、資源來源于二一教育資源庫
