【知识点】广告/布告、应用文、艺术家
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了为纪念苏格兰最受欢迎的画家亨利·雷伯恩爵士进行的展览的相关情况。
21．细节理解题。根据文章第二个小标题中表格右上角Raeburn’s English Contemporaries部分“Thursday 30 Oct. (10月30日星期四)”可知，在10月30日星期四可以去参加Raeburn’s English Contemporaries。故选B项。
22．细节理解题。根据文章第四个小标题Admission部分“ 4. Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.(4英镑。12岁以下儿童在一位成人陪同下免费入场)”可知，一对夫妇应付4+4=8英镑，两个12岁以下的儿童在成人陪同下免费，即入场费为8英镑。故选B项。
23．细节理解题。根据最后一段“A special low entrance charge of 2 per person is available to all in full-time education, up to and including those at first degree level, in organised groups with teachers.(所有全日制教育的学生，高至并包括那些学士学位水平的学生，在有教师的组织团体中，均可享受每人2英镑的特别低入场费)”可知，全日制学生在有教师的组织团体中，可以获得折扣，即他们必须由教师带领。故选C项。
24．C 25．D 26．D 27．C
【知识点】家人和亲人 、记叙文、人与环境
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。在本文中作者通过回忆，讲述了母亲绿色环保而且节俭的生活方式。怀着一颗热爱大自然，热爱一切的心，母亲用自己一言一行影响着作者。多年后，作者从小时候对母亲的不理解，变得逐渐认同了母亲的做法，继而身体力行的过起了“绿色”的生活。
24．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment.”可知母亲一直过着环保节俭的生活，由此推断作者说母亲节和地球日有关系是为了强调母亲对环境的关注，所以C为正确选项。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段“rescue a beetle from tragedy ”（拯救一只甲虫免于悲剧）根据第二段“Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.”（像她母亲和她以前的祖母一样，母亲保存玻璃罐、空奶酪容器，并重复使用塑料袋）以及根据第二段“Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.”（蜘蛛进入房子并被果汁杯抓住后，会被放在花园里） 可知A、B、C选项内容和green life有关，故D为正确选项。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.”（八月的酷热笼罩着我，我坐在低矮的墙上，手上沾满了灰尘，吃了第一道菜。阳光温暖，甜甜地洒在我的舌头上。我马上就想和妈妈分享。）以及从文章内容可知作者开始和母亲一样去关注环境，保护环境。所以当她品尝自己“绿色天然的”劳动果实时，内心对母亲是心怀感激的。所以D选项正确。
27．推理判断题。从文章第一段“while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.”（而我，在我二十岁出头的时候，却不耐烦地坐在车里），和下文中的because I was taught so well by example.“ 因为我被榜样教得很好”以及倒数第二段中作者的做法“I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house. ”（我已经开始节约玻璃罐和重复使用包装信封。我在每天的工作中停下来，看着松鼠在我房子上方的树上互相赛跑。）”可以看出作者对母亲做法的态度转变，从消极对待，到理解，最后到效仿的一个过程，所以正确选项为C。
28．A 29．B 30．C 31．B
【知识点】体育健身 、个人保健、说明文
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国埃塞克斯大学的加文 桑德科克及其同事最近进行的一项研究显示，在英格兰，年龄在18岁至64岁之间的人中，每20人中只有一人达到了英国最严格的每周力量训练指导标准。
28．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers found that on average just 5 percent of these adults in England met the full recommendation, including strength training.( 研究人员发现，在英国，平均只有5%的成年人达到了包括力量训练在内的全部建议。)”可知，英国的成年人缺乏力量训练。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They wanted to find out what proportion of these adults in England met the UK’s weekly health guidelines, which recommend 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.(他们想知道这些英格兰成年人中有多少人达到了英国每周健康指南的标准，该指南建议每周进行150分钟的适度运动。)”可知，关于英国每周健康指南有着确切的标准。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the strongest effect that we found when we looked at the variables was education(但当我们观察变量时，我们发现最强烈的影响是教育。)”以及倒数第二段中“ Higher levels of education have been linked to greater wealth.(教育水平越高，财富就越多。)”可知，教育影响着身体体育锻炼。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And we need to stress that strength training is relevant to health and fitness across all age groups and not just for young males. Anyway, there’s still a long way to go.(我们需要强调的是，力量训练与所有年龄组的健康和健身有关，而不仅仅是年轻男性。不管怎样，还有很长的路要走。)”可知，对于力量训练，不管怎样还有很长的路要走，由此表明还需要付出巨大的努力和工作来普及力量训练工作。故选B。
32．B 33．C 34．B 35．C
【知识点】语言与文化 、说明文
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知，当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人组成的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式……当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12,000种。由此推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。
33．猜测词义题。根据文章第二段中的dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在快速替代其他语言。由此推知dominant languages意为“强有力的语言”。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.和The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 可知，目前世界上大约有6800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6000人的占一半即3400。故选B。
35．主旨要义题。根据文章第一段中的主题句Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。
点睛：长难句解读
In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
分析：dominant前的and连接两个并列句，all和前面的名词短语trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications是同位语。
句意：在最近的几个世纪，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和全球义务教育的普及，尤其是过去几十年来，全球化和更好的交流，这些都导致许多语言消失。而且像英语、西班牙语和汉语等主流语言正日益占据主导地位。
36．B 37．F 38．D 39．C 40．E
【知识点】方法/策略
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍学习英语的一些方法和一些建议。
36．根据下文The four main areas for you are: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.(四个主要方面是：说、听、读、写)可以推断上文是和这些方面有关。而B选项中all areas正好和下文相呼应，因此B选项For you, you need to work on all areas.(对于你来说，你需要在所有方面努力)切题，故选B。
37．本段主要讲说英语方面的技巧。再根据下文The fastest way to learn English is to surround yourself with English speakers.(学习英语最快的方法就是和说英语的人在一起)可以推断空中应该是和说方面有关的句子，F选项There is nothing better than conversations to help you improve.(没有什么比交谈更能帮助你进步了)符合语境，故选F。
38．根据下文But the more you listen, the more you’ll get.(但是你听的越多，你得到的就越多)可以推断空中的句子应该和它互为转折关系。D选项The English news can be difficult for you at first.(起初，英语新闻对你来说可能很难)符合语境，故选D。
39．根据上文So for lower levels, try reading children’s stories or books which have been especially written for English learners.(因此对于较低的水平，可以尝试阅读儿童故事或专为英语学习者编写的书籍)可以推断下文再说先要尝试阅读这些简单的故事或书籍。C选项Choose easy stories and you can learn more.(选择简单的故事，你可以学到更多)切题，故选C。
40．根据上文Try keeping a diary; write something in English in it every day, even if it’s very simple.(试着写日记；每天用英语写点东西，即使很简单)可以推断下文应该再说怎样写日记。E选项Start with small sentences and make them longer.(从小句子开始，然后把它们加长)符合语境，故选E。
41．D 42．A 43．D 44．A 45．A 46．D 47．B 48．C 49．A 50．A 51．D 52．B 53．D 54．B 55．C

56．learning 57．neither 58．makes 59．a 60．actions 61．shameless
62．smallest 63．which 64．was invented 65．reflects
【知识点】语言与文化
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过列举一些英语中令人困惑的词汇和表达，探讨了英语为何是一门让人觉得“疯狂”的语言，指出英语是由人创造的，反映了人类的创造力。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：我从未想过为什么人们在学习英语上会有困难，直到有一天我的儿子问我汉堡包里是否有火腿。固定短语have trouble doing sth意为“做某事有困难”，此处应用动词-ing形式。故填learning。
57．考查连词。句意：这也让我意识到菠萝里既没有松树也没有苹果。固定搭配neither...nor...“既不……也不……”。故填neither。
58．考查动词时态。句意：是什么让英语成为一门学起来很疯狂的语言呢？此处what作主语，谓语动词应用单数形式，且句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，所以make要用第三人称单数形式。故填makes。
59．考查冠词。句意：例如，当我们旅行时，我们在海上会晕船，在空中会晕机，在车里会晕车，但当我们回到家时却不会想家。此处泛指“一辆车”，car是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
60．考查名词复数。句意：如果无害的行为是有害行为的对立面，为什么无耻的行为和可耻的行为是一样的呢？根据空后的are可知，主语应用复数形式，action是可数名词，应用复数形式。故填actions。
61．考查形容词。句意：同上。根据空后的“and shameful behaviors(无耻的行为)”以及“the same(相同)”可知，此处应填与 shameful含义相近的形容词，shame的形容词形式有shameful(可耻的)和shameless(无耻的)，两者含义相近，故填shameless。
62．考查形容词最高级。句意：甚至最小的单词也可能会让人困惑，比如医学报告中的“WHO”，“IT”和“US”，它们与“who”“it”和“us”毫无关系。根据下文“such as the “WHO” in a medical report, “IT” and “US”(比如医学报告中的“WHO”，“IT”和“US”)”可知，此处表示 “最小的”，应用形容词的最高级形式。故填smallest。
63．考查定语从句。句意：你也不得不惊叹于一门语言的独特“疯狂”之处，在这门语言中，一所房子既可以说“burn up(烧毁)”，也可以说“burn down(烧毁)”。这是一个“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是a language，指物，关系词在从句中作介词in的宾语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
64．考查动词语态。句意：你感到困惑的关键在于英语是由人发明的，而不是由电脑发明的，并且它反映了人类的创造力。English与invent之间是被动关系，且发明英语这一动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were+过去分词”，English是不可数名词，be动词用was。故填was invented。
65．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作谓语，此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，所以reflect要用第三人称单数形式。故填reflects。
66．One possible version:
Plant Trees to Save the Earth
Dear fellow students,
There is no doubt that trees can benefit us in many ways. Firstly, they reduce pollution and offer us clean air. Secondly, they help deal with the climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, which can lead to global warming. Thirdly, trees help us prevent sandstorms, fight floods, and protect soil from being washed away.
Dear fellow students, the more trees we plant, the better the environment will be. It's time for us to plant some trees to make our city greener. Let's plant as many trees as possible and make our world a better place to live in.
The Student Union

67．
“It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. Indeed, the task seemed so demanding. Not long after they started working, the heat and dust made them uncomfortable. Cameron’s arms ached from moving heavy boxes, and Barton’s back was sore from bending over. When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished. Although the thought of giving up crossed their minds, the brothers pushed it aside thinking about how hard their parents had been working. The task took them over three hours, but they finally made the warehouse clean and tidy.
Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. Mr. Thompson’s eyes widened seeing the once chaotic space took on a completely new look, where everything was in order. He had not expected the brothers to do this job so well. Mr. Thompson handed them their wages, paying extra, and said, “You’ve earned this. By the way, I could use some help over the summer. I wonder if you’re interested.”“We’d love to!” Barton replied happily. Then the brothers went home excitedly, eager to share their success with their parents.
【知识点】生活故事
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了十五岁的Cameron和十二岁的Barton来自Taxco的一个小镇，父母辛勤工作仍入不敷出，兄弟俩决定在暑假寻找兼职帮助家庭。尽管初次求职被餐馆经理拒绝，他们并未气馁，随后向Thompson杂货店申请工作。店主起初认为他们太小，但在兄弟俩的真诚请求下同意让他们试一试。最终，Cameron和Barton被安排清理仓库的杂物。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““这活儿可不轻松。你们尽力而为就行，”Thompson先生说道。”可知，第一段可描写兄弟二人的辛苦工作的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“Cameron和Barton完成后请Thompson先生过来看看。”可知，第二段可描写Thompson先生看到二人的成果后的反应和最后的结果。
2.续写线索：安排任务——努力完成——请Thompson先生来——得到钱——再次被邀请——兴奋地回家
3.词汇激活

①开始：start/begin
②完成：finish/complete

On plenty of drives with my mom through my childhood, she would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions(蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct(直觉) for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
24．Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day
A．Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B．To show that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
C．To show how much her mother cares about the environment.
D．Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother’s Day.
25．Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”
A．Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.
B．Saving glass jars or empty cheese containers
C．Setting a caught spider free in the garden
D．Picking dandelions on busy streets

A．Tomatoes are the author’s favorite fruit.
B．It is her mother who taught the author to plant tomatoes.
C．Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.

A recent study conducted by Gavin Sandercock at the University of Essex in the UK and his colleagues shows just one in 20 people aged 18 to 64 in England are meeting England’s strictest weekly strength training guidelines. Strength training is defined as any activities that strengthens muscles or bone, says Sandercock. This can include lifting weights, body weight exercises and fitness plans.
The teams looked at survey data from over 275,000 adults in this age group. Between 2015 and 2017, these people were asked to estimate how much time they spend doing physical activity each week. They wanted to find out what proportion of these adults in England met the UK’s weekly health guidelines, which recommend 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.
The researchers found that on average just 5 percent of these adults in England met the full recommendation, including strength training. They also found that men were more likely to meet all the guidelines as well as younger age groups. “But the strongest effect that we found when we looked at the variables was education,” Sandercock says.
“There are two main reasons why this could be the case,” Sandercock says. “ People who are more educated may be more likely to know what the UK’s recommended health advice is. On the other hand, it could be that strength training——especially lifting weights——often requires access to a gym which costs money. Higher levels of education have been linked to greater wealth,” he says.
“To encourage greater participation in strength training, I believe we need to raise awareness about its multiple benefits. And we need to stress that strength training is relevant to health and fitness across all age groups and not just for young males. Anyway, there’s still a long way to go.” says Anne Tidedmann at the University of Sydney.
28．What does the study show about the adults in England
A．They lack strength training. B．They attach importance to diet.
C．They watch their weight. D．They have strict fitness plans.
29．What do we know about the UK’s weekly health guidelines
A．They are aimed at male athletes. B．They have a standard for exercise time.
C．They include some mental activities. D．They only apply to healthy people.
30．Why does Sandercock talk about education
A．It enriches knowledge on health. B．It makes a person become wealthy.
C．It affects strength training greatly. D．It contributes to one’s wisdom.
31．What can we infer about the work of popularizing strength training
A．It takes less time. B．It needs great efforts.
C．It makes no difference. D．It gets wide support.
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly-knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
32．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected
33．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
34．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A．About 6,800 B．About 3,400
C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．New languages will be created.
B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.
第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）
How to learn English well
All English learners want to improve their English, but as you know, it can be difficult!
36 The four main areas for you are: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Here are some ways to help you learn well.
Speaking
Speak as much as possible! This is the best way to learn English. 37 The fastest way to learn English is to surround yourself with English speakers. Also, get into the habit of thinking in English. Don’t translate from your own language into English — it will slow you down. And it’s fun to sing in English, so learn some English songs and sing your heart out!
Listening
Like speaking, it’s better for you to be in a totally English-speaking environment. It’s also good to watch TV shows, or movies in English. 38 But the more you listen, the more you’ll get. It’s good to listen to something over and over again. First, try to get the general meaning, and then, listen a second time for more in-depth information.
Reading
Reading English is something you can do to help you learn on your own, outside of the classroom. Newspapers are good for higher-level students. So for lower levels, try reading children’s stories or books which have been especially written for English learners. 39
You should find something that you can learn well from.
Writing
Try keeping a diary; write something in English in it every day, even if it’s very simple.
40 And the Internet is a great way to help you learn English. Try to make friends online, visit chat rooms, or post comments on blogs. These are all useful tools for you.
A．Make a plan for yourself.
B．For you, you need to work on all areas.
C．Choose easy stories and you can learn more.
D．The English news can be difficult for you at first.
E．Start with small sentences and make them longer.
F．There is nothing better than conversations to help you improve.
G．You won’t learn much if you choose a book that is too difficult or too easy.

47 Dr Espinoza and many other professors like her, I found that scientists aren’t just what we 48 on the National Geographic Channel.

I hadn’t thought why people had trouble 56 (learn) English until one day my son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. This also made me realize that there is

For example, while we’re traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in 59 car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. If harmless 60
(action) are the opposite of harmful actions, why are 61 (shame) and shameful behaviors the same We can say “it’s raining” or “it's snowing”, but we can’t say “it’s sunshining”. Even the 62 (small) words can be confusing, such as the “WHO” in a medical report, “IT” and “US” , which have nothing to do with “who” “it” and “us”. You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in 63 a house can burn up as it burns down.
The key to your confusion is that English 64 (invent) by people, not computers, and it 65 (reflect) the creativity of the human race.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Fifteen-year-old Cameron and twelve-year-old Barton lived in a town in Taxco. Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance.
As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance ” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job ”
Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head.
“This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically (杂乱地). It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were required to clear away the items.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said.

Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished.
