湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题

湖南师大附中2023—2024学年度高一第一学期期中考试语文时量：150分钟满分：150分一、现代文阅读（37分）（一）现代文阅读Ⅰ（本题共5小题，19分）阅读下面的文字，完成1~5题。

科技发展与创新是社会生产力发展的重要标志。

这轮科技革命正加速转变为现实生产力，直接导致生产力的三个要素，即劳动者、劳动工具、劳动对象的深刻变化。

劳动力的变化，已经不是以往蓝领、白领、金领之类的升级和变化，也不是体力型、知识型、科技型的智能化升级，而是人作为劳动者的健康、安全、智慧、长寿，丰富了劳动者的内涵；各种便携式智能装备拓宽了劳动者的外延，机器人和人工智能参与劳动，跻身劳动者行列，增加了劳动力的类别和数量；人工智能参与生产的标准化、精准化，以及人更多地向着脑力劳动发展，提高了劳动者的整体质量。

劳动者再没有以往那么单纯，人和机器人建立了多重内部关系，体现了劳动者的深刻变化。

人的健康、安全和长寿，以及人的体质和智能，是劳动者最重要的内涵。

内涵丰富、素质提升，这是劳动者最大的变化。

劳动者质量取决于人的体质和智能，农业科技促进的粮食增产，在解决温饱的基础上，改善了劳动者的营养，使劳动者的体能得到加强。

现代医学科技从为少数人服务发展到普惠大众，使更多的劳动者的健康得到保障。

过去四分之一的世纪，人类在健康领域取得的巨大进步已经让大多数人受益，但仍然有很多人享受不到这些福祉。

如果想要所有人都能得到医疗护理，必须对卫生工作人员进行培训并投入资金，让其能给最偏远地方的人提供健康医疗服务。

老弱病残虽然不是直接的劳动者，但如果他们的疾病能够得到治疗，他们的生活能够得到保障，也能解除劳动者的后顾之忧，实际上也间接地改善了劳动者工作和生活的条件和环境。

教育科技特别是这些年互联网和数字技术的兴起，使成人教育、职业教育、短期培训得到发展，提高了劳动者的智能技能水平，进而提高了劳动效率。

机器人和人工智能逐渐参与一些劳动，虽然取代了劳动者的一些岗位，但是那些急难险重和肮脏的工作被取代，大大减少人类劳动的风险和牺牲，使人可以更加安全、舒适地劳动。

Services such as hospital and transport areusually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope thattheir lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people aremoving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.56. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?A．The countryside is much poorer than the city.B．People in the countryside have nothing to eat.C．People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.57. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?A．Because they will find good jobs.B．Because they are tired of living in the city.C．Because they can make more money there.D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.58.

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________A．they are happy to move back to the cityB．they miss their friends in the countrysideC．they still want to move to the countrysideD．they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city60. The best title of this passage may be “__________〞A．A happy life! B．Living in the city!C．Moving out or moving back ? D．Living in the countryside!BSaturday, March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand〔泰国〕. All the different smells make us want to try the food.

My Trip to Chiang MaiCThe summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that wewould have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and yo u could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.66. The aim of the mother’s plan was to _________.A. take them to visit the museumB. introduce them to the world of artC. ask them to read about artistsD. show them different painting styles67.

She could understand the pictures of fat babies.68. What made the writer go through a change that summer?A. One of Mary's paintings.B. A strange way of painting.C. Artists in the Middle Ages.D. Her mother’s instruction.69. From the text, we can see _________.A. the importance of curiosityB. the effect of artC. the value of learningD. the power of family education70. The writer and her brother had thought that they could ___________ in their summer vacation.A. visit some art museumsB. go to Egypt for a visitC. take drawing or painting classesD. play with their friends.必考II局部PART FOUR WRITING 〔50 marks〕Section A (10 points)Directions: Complete the following sentences according to the requirement.71.

D．Art & Design Lab for Teens.Last November, a kindergarten teacher, Robin Hughes, read her class a book about snow. The students listened closely. But Hughes noticed that some children looked puzzled because only a couple of kids had seen snow.Hughes decided to call in a favour to her sister, Amber Estes. “Would you be willing to ship a snowman to us if it snows?” Hughes called. Estes laughed it off and agreed, as Hughes always shared some uncommon ideas with her. A few days later, her neighbourhood got nearly 10 inches of snow. So, she walked out into the snow and built “Lucky”, a small snowman with blueberry eyes, a carrot nose.After about 10 days of refrigeration and planning, Lucky was on a nearly 800-mile flight from Kentucky to Florida. Estes mailed Lucky in an insulated (绝缘) container filled with ice packs. “If Lucky arrived in one piece, the plan was for him to keep his name,” Estes said. “If the experiment failed, he would be renamed Puddles (水坑).” That night, Estes stayed up late tracking the package.On January 19, a postal driver delivered the snowman to the school. Hughes cut the box open before she presented the snowman to her students. To her surprise, Lucky had arrived almost whole. “I was so excited because he made it,” said Hughes. “All the children wanted to touch him. They asked if he is coming to life.” Ever since, at least twice a day, Hughes said she brings Lucky out from the cafeteria freezer so students can touch the snowman and ask questions. Cheers and wows fill the room every time Lucky is brought in. When his coat starts to get shiny, she takes him back to the freezer.This year, things are not normal for kids in the classroom or for adults, she said. “This little snowman has created happiness.” Hughes plans to me lt Lucky before Earth Day and will use the water while planting a garden at the school.4. What caused Robin Hughes to ask her sister to mail a snowman?A．Some students hated the hot weather.B．Some students had never seen snow.C．Some students did not believe the snowman was real.D．Some students had never done a science experiment.5. Why did Estes laugh when Hughes asked her to mail a snowman to her students?A．She was used to her sister’s strange requests.B．She knew it would never snow in Kentucky.C．She thought her sister’s idea would bring joy to her students.D．She had not seen her sister in a long time and missed her.6. What can we infer from Estes’s words in Paragraph 3?A．Estes was happy to help her sister’s students.B．Lucky would probably arrive in one piece.C．The students did not agree on a name for the snowman.D．Estes was unsure if Lucky would melt in the mail.7. Which of the following best describes Hughes and Estes?A．Humorous. B．Bored. C．Serious. D．Caring. Physical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all. doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as computer games, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure (措施) to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.Not doing sports increases teens’ hazard of developing many diseases.

By 2020, artificial intelligence has created 2.3 million jobs, going beyond the 1.8 million that it has replaced, the company said in a recent report. In the following five years to 2025, net (净得的) new jobs created in relation to AI will reach 2 million, according to the report.The number of jobs affected will be different from industry to industry. The public sector, health care and education are expected to get the most jobs, while manufacturing and transportation may be hit the hardest, said Gartner’s research director, Manjunath Bhat.“Robots are not here to take away our jobs, they’re here to give us a promotion—I think that’s the way we should start looking at AI,” Bhat told reporters on Tuesday.Gartner’s positive predictions contrast with the warnings on the dangers of AI sounded by top technology industry voices such as Kai-Fu Lee, the founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures. He said robots are likely to replace 50 per-cent of all jobs in the next decade.Gartner admitted in its report that AI would cut millions of middle- and low-level positions. But it stressed that more new jobs would be created, including highly-skilled jobs, management positions and even low-skilled jobs.“IT leaders should not only focus on the expected increase of jobs,” the report said. “For the greatest value, focus on improving people with AI. Enrich people’s jobs, reimagine old tasks and create new industries. Change your culture to make it rapidly adaptable to AI-related opportunities or threats.”12. What does Gartner think of AI?A．Human workers will be out of work. B．AI will create more jobs than it cuts.C．AI will run out of human control. D．New industries will replace old ones. 13.

C．Worried. D．Confused.15. What does Gartner suggest IT leaders do in the future?A．Make use of new industry opportunities.B．Equip people with training programs.C．Stop old business and turn to the new one.D．Welcome AI and adapt to the challenge.How to Show RespectWhether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate. Here are some easy ways to show respect in your life.Listen to others.Practice active listening to show you respect others. 16 Nod your head and ask follow-up questions to stay focused in the conversation. Even if you disagree, try to consider the point of view before responding.Confirm (肯定) people’s opinions.When you’re talking to someone, confirm their opinions in your own words. You can also mention their achievements to let them know you see how hard they’ve worked. You could say something like, “What you just said was really cool. 17 ” Or, “I can tell you’ve worked super hard to get your business off the ground.”Apologize when you’re in the wrong.It shows a great deal of maturity (成熟). If you mess up, a simple “I’m sorry” goes a long way. Try not to make excuses for yourself. 18 For example, if you forgot a deadl ine, you could say, “I’m really sorry. I’ll be setting reminders so this doesn’t happen again.”19Stick to your word. If you commit (承诺) to an event or make plans with someone, come through on your end of the deal. Being reliable shows respect for peopl e’s time. Have your materials in order and complete all the necessary work ahead of time. 20 It can be tough at first, but it’s better to be honest.We live in a world increasingly controlled by science.

Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle (过道) and fill your trolley (手推车) without even realizing it.Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You'll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the possibilities of non- essential buying.There's also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they'll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is used across various retail chains.”“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits. “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that's why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That's why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I've started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can't carry it, I'm not buying it,” he added.4. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?A. To encourage healthy eating.B. To save consumers' shopping time.C. To increase unnecessary buying.D. To provide multiple goods for choice.5. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Distributing junk food in different areas.B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of the store.C. Reordering products in supermarkets regularly.D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy trollies.B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move for non- essential buying.7. Where is this text most likely from?A. A psychology report.B. A business magazine.C. A research paper.D. A shopping guide.CYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization (受害) . The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way aslong as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.8. In what way is a creator different from a victim?A. A creator is given more challenges.B. Failure seldom comes to a creator.C. Storms are beneficial in a creator's eyes.D. A victim hardly blames others for their own faults.9. When people choose to think like a creator, what will happen?A. They seldom make careless mistakes.B. The world seems a cold and difficult place.C. Life is blessed with fewer opportunities than expected.D. They don't care what happens to them but think positively.10. Which of the following can be described as a creator's act?A. Tim failed his exam and thought he would never pass it.B. Sam lost his job and abandoned himself to drinking for months.C. J. K. Rowling was refused by a publisher and yet went on writing.D. Jessica broke up with her husband and chose to give up her own life.11. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. Benefits of Being a CreatorB. Creators: Act Now or NeverC. Creator or Victim: Up to YouD. Ways to Transform a Victim into a CreatorDA team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long- lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold- based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infraredradiation (红外线辐射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically uses heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up—by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti- fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost- effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear, however, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent (专利) . Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.12. How does the new coating work to remove fog?A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.B. By keeping cool air away from the object.C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.D. By absorbing infrared radiation to heat the coating.13. Why does the author mention previous anti- fogging products?A. To stress the advantages of the new coating.B. To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.C. To prove the difficulty of creating anti- fogging products.D. To explain the reason for the anti- fogging coating being popular.14. What is the limitation of the new coating?A. It is considerably expensive.B. It depends on sunlight to work.C. It takes too much time to produce.D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.15. What do the researchers plan to do next?A. Apply for a patent for the invention.B. Develop the product for more practical uses.C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.D. Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Crown Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer. Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men, and symptoms can last up to 24 hours. Typically, these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting(呕吐), dizziness and sensitivity to sound, light, and touch.After over forty years of research, the four professors pinpointed the major cause — chemicals released within the brain. Previously, the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress, pressure or anxiety. In 1979, Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane(膜) surrounding our brain, releasing chemicals called neuropeptides. These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain. Later, research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Then, Professor Olesen’s work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain, rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine. While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain, scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don’t cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.8. Who received the grand prize in the country where he works?A．Jes Olesen. B．Peter Goadsby. C．Lars Edvinsson. D．MichaelMoskowitz.9. What do we know about migraines?A．Migraines are a rare and strange illness.B．All the symptoms of intense migraines last 24 hours.C．Females’ chance of getting migraines is higher than males’.D．Vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity lead to migraines.10. What is the major cause of migraines?A．Stress, pressure or anxiety. B．A highly-sensitive membrane.C．Chemical called neuropeptides. D．Interactions between thin nerves.11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Medicine. B．Biology. C．Literature. D．Psychology.People have been predicting (预测) the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade (十年) ago, nearly all Americans — more than 85 percent of U.S. households — paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite ( 卫星) companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service is approaching 50 percent, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group.For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans wh o didn’t have a landline ( 座机) at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick.What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly.Ian Olgeirson, a research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend ( 趋势) was more like a series of progressive changes building up.It’s clear that t he cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin. The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly.I have always loved TV. I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favorite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about $10 a month. That was it. I’ma no-cable household now, too.12. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV?A．Its falling popularity. B．Its increasing payments.C．Its various TV channels. D．Its high service standard.13. Why does the author mention cellphones and landlines in paragraph 2?A．To prove technology can change the world. B．To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away.C．To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV. D．To explain technology can bring fortune to people.14. Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations?A．America’s TV market was down suddenly.B．The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years.C．Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly.D．There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV.15. What would be the best title for the text?A．Cable TV won’t be replaced by satelliteTVB．Cable TV brought joy to Americans C．Cable TV has existed for decades D．Cable TV is the new landlineJessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation. She started traveling at age four, along with her parents on family trips from Detroit, Michigan and completed her mission when she landed in the Seychelles, having visited 195 countries. 16 Along the way, she became a writer, photographer, and passionate advocate for inclusive and ethical tourism.Here she talks to us about her experience and tips for traveling better.What inspires your adventures?17 I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States.Did you ever experience any obstacles (阻碍)?I don’t believe in failure. 18 Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socializati on. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself. I firmly believe that every failure in your life is just an opportunity to learn.19My mother has always said “humble (使谦逊) yourself”. I appreciate it because when you trave l, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal.What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably (可持续地)?Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. 20 If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s aboutbeing a deliberate (慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’m in and on the planet in general.I was waiting to pick up a friend at the airport. That day I had one of those _______that change people’s lives. It happened just two feet away from me. I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me to _______his family.First of all he _______his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a _______hug. Then the father looked in his son’s eyes with words: “I missed you so much; it’s so good to see you, son!” The boy _______and said: “Me too, Dad.”T hen the man talked to his older son (nine or ten years old), “Oh, you are quite the young man; I love you very much!” Then they had the most caring _______too._______the father said “Hi, baby girl.” to his baby daughter, who was squirming (扭动) excitedly in her mother’s arm and watching him all the time. The man _______took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his _______. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure _______.After several moments the man looked at his wife and said “I’ve saved the best _______!” and shared with her the most passionate kiss.
