Returns & Refund Guarantee
[2020·广东省高三六校第一次联考] The “Returns & Refund Guarantee” is a promise provided by sellers for every item they sell on DHgate. com. When you receive an item that was bought and paid for on our site, and you find it is not as described or is of low quality, you can contact the seller to resolve these problems. DHgate will offer additional assistance if the seller is not cooperative.
Scope
The following points should not be included in the “Returns & Refund Guarantee”: ▲The seller didn't make any promise.

▲You have released the payment to the seller before asking DHgate for help. Sellers are able to set up the following promises: Returning items for any reason
Buyers can return items for a refund within a specific date which has been set up by sellers, such as 3 days, and 7 days from the day when the items are received. The items' receiving date is the date that is indicated on the shipping carrier's official website. Buyers should prepay any return shipping cost, which will be given back to the buyers after the seller receives the items as long as the items are returned in the same exact condition as when they were delivered.
Returns or Refunds accepted if the product has quality issues
Buyers can return the items for a refund when they are not as described or possess quality issues by communicating directly with the seller. The seller is responsible for the return shipping cost.
Buyers can get a refund and keep the items when the items are not as described or possess quality issues by negotiating directly with sellers.

D.The buyer can't keep the items after getting a refund.
体裁:应用文 主题语境:人与社会——消费者权益——退货退款保证 【文章大意】 文章介绍了国内DHgate网上交易平台的退货退款保证制度。
【难句分析】 Buyers should prepay any return shipping cost, which will be given back to the buyers after the seller receives the items as long as the items are returned in the same exact condition as when they were delivered.(Para.3)
分析:这是一个复合句。主句为“Buyers should prepay any return shipping cost”;句中的“which will be given back to the buyers...they were delivered”是which引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为any return shipping cost;after和as long as分别引导时间状语从句和条件状语从句。
译文:买方应预付退货运费,在卖方收到货物后,只要退还的货物与当时交货时的状况相同,运费将退还给买方。
1.B 考查细节理解。根据题干中的关键词“additional assistance”定位到第一段尾句。依据此句可知,
如果卖方不合作,DHgate将提供额外的协助。故选B。
2.C 考查细节理解。依据Scope部分中的“You didn't contact the seller within the promised time”可知,
与此情况相反时是在保证范围内的,即买家在承诺期限内求助是可以享受保证服务的,故选C。
3.A 考查推理判断。根据Scope部分中的第一条“The seller didn't make any promise”可知,卖方没
有做出承诺时不包括在退货退款保证范围内,据此可推知,不是所有卖方都做出承诺,故选A。

My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水疱) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.
The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. The reporter interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, he interviewed us, and we explained to him what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too. 4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden? A.They were excited. C.They were worried. 5.What is special about the garden?
A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally. B.The grass grew faster than common grass. C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie. D.Underground water was used for the plants.
B.They were surprised. D.They were uninterested.
6.What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph? A.We got blisters on our hands. C.The garden would be famous. 7.How did the author feel about the project? A.Annoyed.
B.Curious.
C.Proud.
D.Regreful.
B.Our hard work was worthwhile. D.The project would be finished.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了我们班培植的“草原式花园”上电视的故事。 4.D 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were
plenty of stories similar to ours... many schools plant them”可知,电视台的负责人说有许多像我们这样的故事。他们想知道我们的花园有何不同,因为许多学校都培植花园。由此可推断,电视台的负责人最初对我们的花园是不感兴趣的。
5.C 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“We had been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and
then we planted them”可知,我们去过大草原,在那里获取草原植物的种子,然后把它们种在花园里。由此可知,我们的花园的特殊之处在于种子来自草原植物。故选C。
6.B 考查代词指代。根据最后一段中的“All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it”可知,画线词
指代的是其中的“it was worth it”,即我们培植花园所付出的努力是值得的。故选B。 7.C 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long,
but it was us... the whole city thought so, too”可知,新闻主播报道了我们的故事,虽然只有两分钟,但是它是有关我们的。我们每天看到花园都觉得我们的努力是值得的,而且现在整个城市的人也会这样认为。由此可知,作者为他们培植花园的活动感到自豪。故选C。

[2020·广东省高三六校第一次联考] My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn't there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr.Creech, who knew I couldn't read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn't happen again. Later that day, Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family.
On my way from the airport, I saw Mr.Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.
“I'm so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr.Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn't all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name:dyslexia(诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education. 8.Why did the author want to hide?
A.Because he felt sorry for himself. C.Because he couldn't read at all.
B.Because he hated being laughed at. D.Because he didn't have a ticket.
9.Which of the following could best describe Mr.Creech?
A.Considerate and dutiful. C.Emotional and dedicated.
B.Demanding and enthusiastic. D.Friendly and ambitious.
10.Why couldn't the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?
A.Because his reading age was not long enough. B.Because his parents didn't teach him how to read. C.Because he was afraid of reading before the class. D.Because he didn't have inner driving force to learn to read. 11.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Mr.Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton. B.The author had become a published author and an active speaker. C.Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read. D.The author was grateful to Mr.Creech.
体裁:记叙文 主题语境:人与自我——个人经历——老师帮助作者学习诵读
【文章大意】 本文讲述了作者13岁时还不会诵读,遇到了老师Creech后,在老师的鼓励和帮助下,学会了诵读。成年后,作者再次遇到了这位老师,作者希望老师继续鼓励有类似情况的学
生。
8.C 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句中的“I couldn't read”并结合第一段第二、三句可知,作
者想躲藏是因为他不会诵读,故选C项。
【干扰项分析】 由于受到第一段中的“I already hated being who I was”的影响,部分考生易误选B项。注意此处表述的并非是讨厌被嘲笑。
9.A 考查推理判断。根据第二段倒数第二句中的“Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would
try his best to help me learn to read”可推知,Creech老师是一个体贴的、尽职尽责的人。 10.D 考查推理判断。根据第一段第二句中的“I wasn't there to learn to write, read or even speak”和
最后一段尾句中的“a lack of desire for education”可推知,作者在遇到Creech老师之前不会诵读是因为缺乏学习诵读的内在动力,故选D项。
11.D 考查推理判断。根据第二段Creech老师对作者的帮助和第三、四段作者成年后再次遇到老
师的反应可推知,作者非常感激Creech老师。故选D项。

[2020·重庆市七校联考] Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you're in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre's management team said:“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn't surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it
will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.
12.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who ________.
A.can't move quickly because of physical disabilities B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly C.take their time to do window shopping D.want to leave the mall quickly
13.What is Gary Mortimer's attitude to the fast lane?
A.Supportive. B.Indifferent. 14.Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?
A.Skaters.
B.Dodgers.
C.Bulldozers.
D.Tutters.
C.Critical.
D.Objective.
15.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes. B.How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.
C.The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays. D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers. 体裁:说明文 题材:新闻报道 主题:购物中心引进快速通道
【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了英国一家大型的购物中心在节日高峰期引进快速通道一事。 【难句分析】 The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping.
分析:本句是一个复合句。after a MasterCard survey found...while shopping为after引导的时间状语从句,在此状语从句中含有that引导的宾语从句,that在从句中不作句子成分。
译文:在一项MasterCard的调查中发现,80%的顾客认为在购物时走路慢的人使他们最为气恼,之后快速通道就被引进了。
12.B 考查推理判断。根据第一段第二句“But now,Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's
largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help
impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them”和第二段最后一句“The centre's management team said:‘The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.’”可推知,快速通道是为那些想迅速购物的人而设计的,故选B
。
13.D 考查观点态度。根据对第四段的整体理解可知,Gary Mortimer对快速通道进行了全面的评
论,既肯定,又看到了潜在的劣势,因此其态度是客观的,故选D。
14.A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段第二句中的“‘Skaters’who try and make their way through crowds
politely”可推知,Skaters在购物时会耐心地跟在缓慢的人群后,故选A。
15.D 考查主旨大意。根据第一段开篇点题,并结合对全文的整体理解可知,本文主要报道了大
型购物中心引进快速通道,从而在购物高峰期使购物迅速的人避开缓慢购物者的新闻,故选D。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Hotel Wake up Call Gets Personal
Here's a wakeup call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They'll send an actual human being to your room. Don't worry. They won't come in and give you a good morning kiss. __16__
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with builtin alarm clocks. __17__ Here are some examples. At Wolcott Hotel, if a wakeup call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. __18__
Hotels have always taken the wakeup call seriously. __19__ If you don't get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won't have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wakeup call. A study of 285 guests at Crowne Plaza found that 53% considered a wakeup call very important.
__20__ In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you'd get was a ring and silence. In the evercompetitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wakeup call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back
to the old inperson system of wakeup calls.
A.But they might bring you coffee.
B.If you don't answer, you'll get a wakeup knock. C.Crowne Plaza, for instance, has a wakeup call guarantee. D.But the wakeup call became less personal over the years. E.The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wakeup calls each day. F.The human wakeup call is a way to personalize a guest's stay.
G.Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了酒店的叫醒服务。
16.A 考查细节支撑句。根据空前的“They won't come in and give you a good morning kiss”可知,A
项“但他们可能给你带来咖啡”与上文构成转折关系,符合语境。A项中的“they”和空前的“They”指代同一类人。
17.F 考查段落主旨句。根据空后所列举的例子可知,本段主要介绍了一些酒店提供个性化的叫醒
服务,故F项符合语境。
18.B 考查细节支撑句。根据空前的“a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up”
可知,B项“如果你没有回应,将会有人敲门叫醒你”承接上文,符合语境。
19.C 考查细节支撑句。根据空前的“Hotels have always taken the wakeup call seriously”可知,酒店
总是认真对待叫醒服务,C项列举皇冠假日酒店提供叫醒保证来佐证空前的观点,符合语境。 20.D 考查细节支撑句。根据空后的“In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems”可知,D
项中的“less personal”与“automated”对应,说明酒店叫醒服务变得不那么个性化了。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
This is really simple but I was caught off guard (措手不及). As my son and I were __21__ a restaurant today, I held the door for several older couples going in and out. Just as I was about to let it go, I saw someone coming around the corner so I __22__. She saw my little boy and told me to go first. I told her to __23__ because I wasn't in any __24__ — we're still technically on vacation. After all, we'd had our lunch.
I've held doors __25__ I was a kid because that's what my mother educated me in and now I just do it out of __26__. Maybe people will say thanks, but most of them just blow past like the world __27__ them something or they can make whatever excuse for ignoring that __28__.
This girl, however, __29__ a big smile, saying “Thank you”. It's a tiny thing and she probably didn't even __30__ its effect. But I could suppose she __31__ appreciated it. It wasn't until she was in the __32__ and walking past that I found she was a beautiful girl, so I'm not the first person to open a door for her. I just got back from Florida, was dirty and __33__ and hadn't even showered yet. I am 99% sure it had nothing to do with my __34__. I can only assume she was actually grateful.
Anyway, this probably wouldn't mean anything to most people but I valued her sincere__35__. 21.A.passing 22.A.waited

【文章大意】 自幼以来,作者一直会为别人礼貌地扶门以便其进出,但一个女孩真诚的感谢却让作者感触颇深。
21.B 今天当作者和他的儿子要离开(leaving)一家饭馆的时候,他为几对年老的夫妇扶着门以便他
们进出。下文中的“we'd had our lunch”是关键提示。
22.A 根据上文中的“Just as I was about to let it go, I saw someone coming around the corner”和下文的
内容可知,正当作者准备松开门时,看到拐角处有人走过来,便继续扶着门等待(waited)。故A项符合语境。approach“接近,靠近”;depart“离开”。
23.D 根据上文中的“She saw my little boy and told me to go first. I told her to…on vacation”可知,作
者在度假并且已经吃过午饭,因此不着急,所以他让这个女孩先走。go ahead“先走,先行”符合语境。back away“向后退”;come over“来访,拜访”;hold on “等一下,坚持下去”。 24.C 参见上题解析。not in any hurry“不着急”为固定用法,符合语境。
25.A 根据语境可知,自幼以来,作者就为别人扶着门,因为这是作者的妈妈教导他的事情。
since“自……之后,自……以来”在该句中引导时间状语从句。
26.D 现在作者做这件事是出于尊重(respect)。reputation“名誉,名声”;curiosity“好奇心”。 27.D 根据语境可知,大多数人面对作者的善举只是径直离开了,就像世界欠(owes)了他们什么东
西或者他们能为忽视这一举动作出任何辩解一样。guarantee“保证”;promise“保证,承诺”;afford“提供,买得起”。
28.C 参见上题解析。此处的“gesture”指作者为他人扶门的善举。entrance“入口”;tolerance“宽容”;
elegance“优雅,高贵”。
29.D 根据下文中的“a big smile,saying ‘Thank you’”可知,此处指这个女孩面带微笑地向作者致
谢。put on a smile“面带笑容”符合语境。bring about“导致,引起”;set out“动身踏上,着手进行”;take up“开始从事,占用(时间、空间或精力)”。
30.B 这是一件很小的事情,甚至她可能没意识到(realize)这件事情的影响。doubt“怀疑”;
comment“评论”;acknowledge“承认”。
31.A 根据语境可知,但是作者可以推断这个女孩是真正地感谢自己的善举。authentically“真正地”
符合语境。deliberately“故意地”;frequently“经常地,频繁地”;gradually“逐渐地”。 32.C 根据“It wasn't until... a beautiful girl”可知,此处指直到这个女孩走到门口与作者擦身而过,
作者才发现她很漂亮。doorway“门口,门道”符合语境。
33.C 根据上文中的“I just got back from Florida,was dirty and”和下文中的“hadn't even showered yet”
可知,作者刚从佛罗里达回来,不修边幅,甚至还未洗澡。故untidy“不整洁的”与上文中的“dirty”相呼应,符合语境。exhausted“筋疲力尽的”;available“可用的,可获得的”;unprepared“无准备的”。
34.B 根据语境可知,作者在此想要表达的是这个女孩向他表达谢意并不是因为他的个人魅力。故
attraction“吸引,吸引力”符合语境。status“社会地位”;garment“衣服”;dignity“尊贵,体面”。
35.C 无论怎样,这对大多数人来说可能没有意义,但作者却很看重她真诚的感谢。故appreciation“感
激,感谢”符合语境。上文中的“appreciated”亦是关键提示。appearance“外观,外貌”;character“性格”;commitment“承诺,保证”。
第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
On the morning of her grandson's wedding, Peg McCormack received some bad news. The 91yearold was in the hospital after a fall when she found out she would be unable to attend the 36.________ (celebrate) in Madison, New Jersey.
Unknown to McCormack, her grandson Brian 37.________ his wife Lauren had made a heartfelt plan 38.________ (include) her in the day's activities. 39.________ (follow) by a wedding photographer, the couple made a surprise visit 40.________ the hospital before heading to the reception.
“She was so excited to watch 41.________ (we) get married,” the bride said. “She was simply living for this wedding. So we brought the wedding to her.”
“When we walked into that room, she was 42.________ (obvious) shocked,” the photographer said. “She just kept 43.________ (say) ‘I can't believe you're here!’ and thanking them for coming to see her. The way she held their hands, 44.________ (touch) their faces and just looked at them, you could tell they had such a special bond. I don't think she released Brian's hand 45.________ entire time that we were in the room.”
“It meant the world to bring the wedding to her,” the groom said. “It was such a small portion of the day to trade in for such a special moment.”
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一对新人来到医院让祖母参与到他们结婚庆典的活动中的故事。
36.celebration 考查名词。根据空处与上文中的“her grandson's wedding”的呼应关系及空前的the可知,此处应填名词。celebration“庆典,庆祝活动”。
37.and 考查并列连词。此处连接两个并列的主语,故用and。
38.to include 考查非谓语动词。此处是make a plan to do sth.结构,故应用不定式。
39.Followed 考查非谓语动词。follow与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作状语。 40.to 考查介词。make a visit to是固定搭配,意为“访问,拜访,参观”。 41.us 考查代词。空处在句中作watch的宾语,故用人称代词we的宾格us。
42.obviously 考查副词。修饰动词应用副词。obviously“显然,明显地”。
43.saying 考查非谓语动词。keep doing sth.是习惯用法,意为“持续做某事”,故填saying。下文中的“and thanking”亦是提示。
44.touched 考查时态。空处和“held”及“looked at”是并列成分,时态应与其保持一致,用一般过去时。故填touched。
45.the 考查冠词。此处特指在Brian待在病房的整个期间,故用定冠词the。 第三部分 写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分)

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today, there are times when I remember his face clearly, especially his eyes. As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty. He would have been a stray (流浪的) dog, until he came to me.
I was seven years old. My dad had just got a new job in Nasik. We had moved into a rented house. It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.
It was a cold dark night. We had our meal and went to sleep. Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door. I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.
There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door. It was wet and trembling. At first it was difficult to see the little one. It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.
It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat. Was it sick or injured?
I felt pity for the poor soul. I went in and came out with an old towel. I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he became dry. I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow. He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.
The next morning, everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest. “Shall we keep him with us?” I questioned my mom.
Like any other parents would, my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.
Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.
One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg. ______________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【文章大意】 时至今日,我依旧记得Spotty。它本是一只流浪狗,在一个寒冷的夜晚,它蜷缩在我家门口,被我发现。心生怜悯的我把它抱进来,并为它做了一个温暖的小窝。第二天,我和姐姐央求爸爸和妈妈收养了Spotty。慢慢地,它成为了我们家庭的一员。
【写作指导】 Paragraph 1的开头语是“一天,Spotty像往常一样散步后归来,但是断了一条腿”,文章接下来应该描述对Spotty伤口的处理,作者的伤心或愤怒等,也可能涉及Spotty虽然受伤了,但是依旧很坚强。
Paragraph 2的开头语是“大约一年后,一天半夜,我们听到Spotty上气不接下气地叫”,再结合Paragraph 1的内容可知,文章接下来应该描述Spotty的死亡。 【佳作展台】
One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg. I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usual games though his leg was injured. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more
intense. I really admired him for his courage.
Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. The next morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn't see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. I cried and waited for him but there were no signs of him. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died? These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.
