Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a two-week-old blesbok (南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own. She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away.
The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild. Neither of them had ever raised a blesbok before. So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. In the right areas, the blesbok is a really common antelope to see and is therefore often overlooked and under-appreciated. It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.
After releasing Meme back out into the wild, the couple were convinced they would never see her again, until several months later when they were driving around a reserve and happened to come across a herd of blesboks.
Vera called out Meme’s name in the hope of finding Meme. Blesboks all look very similar to one another which makes it very difficult to distinguish individuals. When Vera started to talk, the herd raised their heads and looked over. Vera continued to call Meme and as all the other blesboks lost interest, one individual held her gaze and ran straight up to her.
After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. But after having such a strong bond with an animal, it was really difficult to see her go. They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.
4. What happened to Meme when she was spotted
A. She became an orphan. B. She was lost in the forest.
C. She was hunted by a couple. D. She was abandoned by her mother.
5. What was Meme’s life with the couple like
A. She was rare to be seen outside.
B. She was hard to be artificially fed.
C. She fitted in well with the whole family.
D. She was under-appreciated in the family.
6. Which word can best explain the underlined word “fend” in the last paragraph
A. Look. B. Care.
C. Search. D. Hunt.
7. Which of the following can best describe the act of rescuing the blesbok
A. Effortless. B. Unsatisfactory.
C. Rewarding. D. Heartbreaking.
C
“The Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows in people who have a writing deadline to face!” owner Takuya Kawai tweeted. “It’s in order to maintain a level of focus and tense atmosphere at the cafe! Thank you for your understanding.”
The cafe, which only opened a few days ago, charges customers by time used, and is equipped with USB ports, computer stands, and free Wi-Fi. Struggling writers can also bring their own food and drinks, or have it delivered there since coffee and water are the only things that they can get, but it’s pretty strict when it comes to the actual writing.
When entering the cafe, customers must write down at the reception desk(前台) how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish. Every hour, a member of the staff will come by to check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along.
For example, choosing the “S” level will have the cafe staff pushing you to get the work done more often, while the “M” level includes a more mild way.
However, the craziest rule of the Manuscript Writing Cafe is that writers are not allowed to end their work until reaching their goal or until the place closes down for the day, whichever comes first. It’s not clear how the cafe carries out this rule, but it is meant to keep customers from announcing high targets that they won’t be able to meet.
While some found it interesting, others said that it was too much pressure. “If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up having to live there,” one person said.
8 Which word can best describe the Cafe
A. Relaxing. B. Frightening. C. Unique. D. Traditional.
9. Who may be the target customer of the Cafe
A. Tom, who is interested in reading some proofs of documents.
B. Jenny, whose job is to writing advertising materials.
C. Peter, who interprets messages from one language to another.
D. Mary, who is used to writing her novels without pressure.
10. Why does the author mention the “S” and the “M” levels
A. To present a fact. B. To make a comparison.
C. To identify a concept. D. To explain a rule.
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. Many writers have the problem of finishing writing in time.
B Writers cannot leave the cafe unless they finish writing.
C. The rules may be useful for effective writing.
D. Food and drinks are not allowed in the cafe.
D
The sperm whale is an astonishing creature. It’s longer than a semi-truck, weighs more than 90, 000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It’s known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.
Perhaps most fantastically, the sperm whale’s brain weighs as much as 20 pounds-the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.
A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch-but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.
Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.
What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they＇re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to (与…成比例)our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.
Yet there’s still so much we don’t know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we’ve known of their existence.
12. Why do people know little about the sperm whale’s intelligence
A. Sperm whales’ big size makes research difficult.
B. It didn’t attract scientists’ attention until recently.
C. Whalers didn’t keep enough records of their hunting.
D. Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.
13. What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3
A. Track. B. Avoid. C. Locate. D. Trick.
14. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5
A. The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.
B. Sperm whales have smaller brains than humans.
C. Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.
D. Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly Smart
B. Sperm Whales Have the Biggest Brain
C. Break the Code of Whale Language
D. Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals

47. 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。
On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, ” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news.

The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild. Neither of them had ever raised a blesbok before. So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. In the right areas, the blesbok is a really common antelope to see and is therefore often overlooked and under-appreciated. It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.
After releasing Meme back out into the wild, the couple were convinced they would never see her again, until several months later when they were driving around a reserve and happened to come across a herd of blesboks.
Vera called out Meme’s name in the hope of finding Meme. Blesboks all look very similar to one another, which makes it very difficult to distinguish individuals. When Vera started to talk, the herd raised their heads and looked over. Vera continued to call Meme and as all the other blesboks lost interest, one individual held her gaze and ran straight up to her.
After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. But after having such a strong bond with an animal, it was really difficult to see her go. They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.
4. What happened to Meme when she was spotted
A. She became an orphan. B. She was lost in the forest.
C. She was hunted by a couple. D. She was abandoned by her mother.
5. What was Meme’s life with the couple like
A. She was rare to be seen outside.
B. She was hard to be artificially fed.
C. She fitted in well with the whole family.
D. She was under-appreciated in the family.
6. Which word can best explain the underlined word “fend” in the last paragraph
A. Look. B. Care.
C. Search. D. Hunt.
7. Which of the following can best describe the act of rescuing the blesbok
A. Effortless. B. Unsatisfactory.
C. Rewarding. D. Heartbreaking.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a two-week-old blesbok (南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own. She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away. (野生动物摄影师萨姆·特利和他的妻子维拉发现了一只两周大的南非白面大羚羊独自（呆着），他们给它取名为Meme。在她母亲去世后，有人看到她独自四处游荡。)”可知，野生动物摄影师Sam和他妻子Vera发现了一只南非白面大羚羊独自在周围游荡，她的母亲已经去世。所以Meme在被发现时成了孤儿。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. (无论薇拉走到哪里，Meme都会跟着她，有时，这对夫妇会带着一只南非白面大羚羊、一只狗和一只猫一起散步。)”可知，Meme在这个家里很适应。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句推测题。根据划线词所在句“After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. (在拯救了这只孤独的动物之后，山姆和维拉发现，不得不把她放回野外让她自己fend，这让他们非常激动——尽管他们知道这是一件正确的事情。)”，及上下文可知，夫妇俩把一个两周龄的南非白面大羚羊救回并抚养长大，最终要放归大自然，目的是让它能自己照顾自己，此处fend意为“照看，照料”，与Care意思相近，故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. (所以这需要极大的耐心和同情心来保持她的健康，但这是值得的。)”，第二段最后一句“It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible. (被允许进入南非白面大羚羊的秘密世界是一种特权，他们对南非白面大羚羊的了解比他们想象的要多。)”，以及最后一段最后一句“They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile. (他们花了那么多的时间、精力和精力来抚养她，但看到她在一群南非白面大羚羊中行走，这一切都值得了。)”可知，救下这只南非白面大羚羊以及之后的一切付出都是值得的，故选C项。
C
“The Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows in people who have a writing deadline to face!” owner Takuya Kawai tweeted. “It’s in order to maintain a level of focus and tense atmosphere at the cafe! Thank you for your understanding.”
The cafe, which only opened a few days ago, charges customers by time used, and is equipped with USB ports, computer stands, and free Wi-Fi. Struggling writers can also bring their own food and drinks, or have it delivered there since coffee and water are the only things that they can get, but it’s pretty strict when it comes to the actual writing.
When entering the cafe, customers must write down at the reception desk(前台) how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish. Every hour, a member of the staff will come by to check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along.
For example, choosing the “S” level will have the cafe staff pushing you to get the work done more often, while the “M” level includes a more mild way.
However, the craziest rule of the Manuscript Writing Cafe is that writers are not allowed to end their work until reaching their goal or until the place closes down for the day, whichever comes first. It’s not clear how the cafe carries out this rule, but it is meant to keep customers from announcing high targets that they won’t be able to meet.
While some found it interesting, others said that it was too much pressure. “If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up having to live there,” one person said.
8. Which word can best describe the Cafe
A. Relaxing. B. Frightening. C. Unique. D. Traditional.
9. Who may be the target customer of the Cafe
A. Tom, who is interested in reading some proofs of documents.
B. Jenny, whose job is to writing advertising materials.
C. Peter, who interprets messages from one language to another.
D. Mary, who is used to writing her novels without pressure.
10. Why does the author mention the “S” and the “M” levels
A. To present a fact. B. To make a comparison.
C. To identify a concept. D. To explain a rule.
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. Many writers have the problem of finishing writing in time.
B. Writers cannot leave the cafe unless they finish writing.
C. The rules may be useful for effective writing.
D. Food and drinks are not allowed in the cafe.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C

推理判断题。第三段“Every hour, a member of the staff will come by to check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along.(每小时都会有一名工作人员来检查进度，并施加预先定好的压力水平，帮助顾客推进工作)”提到咖啡馆的一个规定，第四段“For example, choosing the ‘S’ level will have the cafe staff pushing you to get the work done more often, while the ‘M’ level includes a more mild way.(例如，选择‘S’套餐，咖啡馆的工作人员会更积极地督促你完成工作，而‘M’套餐则更温和)”提及“S”套餐和“M”套餐是为了解释上文提到的“施加预先定好的压力水平，帮助顾客推进工作”这一规则。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When entering the cafe, customers must write down at the reception desk(前台) how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish.

The sperm whale is an astonishing creature. It’s longer than a semi-truck, weighs more than 90, 000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It’s known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.
Perhaps most fantastically, the sperm whale’s brain weighs as much as 20 pounds-the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.
A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch-but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.
Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.
What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they＇re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to (与…成比例)our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.
Yet there’s still so much we don’t know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we’ve known of their existence.
12. Why do people know little about the sperm whale’s intelligence
A. Sperm whales’ big size makes research difficult.
B. It didn’t attract scientists’ attention until recently.
C. Whalers didn’t keep enough records of their hunting.
D. Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.
13. What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3
A. Track. B. Avoid. C. Locate. D. Trick.
14. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5
A. The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.
B. Sperm whales have smaller brains than humans.
C. Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.
D. Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly Smart
B. Sperm Whales Have the Biggest Brain
C. Break the Code of Whale Language
D. Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they’re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. (更重要的是，人类、鲸鱼和海豚的大脑中都有纺锤形神经元。这些神经细胞使我们能够进行更深入的思考，比如推理技能、记忆、沟通和适应性思维。和人类一样，鲸鱼也有情商——这意味着它们能够感同身受、悲伤和悲伤。)”可知，纺锤形神经元使生物能够进行深入思考和适应性思维等，而这一切，使得生物会具有一定智商。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.(但一些线索表明抹香鲸比我们想象的要聪明得多。)”、第三段“The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.(研究表明，鲸鱼通过声波相互传递信息，以避免被捕获。)”、第四段“Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.(此外，它们有能力做出复杂的行为，而且往往更善于社交。鲸鱼可能会一起捕猎，或者用它们自己的语言交流。)”以及第五段“What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking.(更重要的是，人类、鲸鱼和海豚的大脑中都有纺锤形神经元。这些神经细胞使我们能够进行更深入的思考，比如推理技能、记忆、沟通和适应性思维。)”可知，文章主要讲述了抹香鲸是一种高智商的生物，极其聪明。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：以其深厚的文化元素展示，2006年被列入中国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，因句子表达的是过去发生的动作，使用一般过去时的被动语态，又因主语为单数，故填was included。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这种艺术最早的历史参考可以追溯到春秋时期。根据下文“historical references of this art(这种艺术……的历史参考)”可推理出本句表达的是最高级含义，空白处使用形容词的最高级，故填earliest。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：清初，它开始在京城及其周边地区流行起来，后来被引入北京门头沟区。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语使用名词，故填popularity。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历的最后一个月和正月在当地的许多节日活动中表演，从而表达了人们对来年和平繁荣的希望。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用副词，故填commonly。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做状语，使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填expressing。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，因空白处后面有名词，根据冠词用法，名词前需使用不定冠词，表示“一个”含义，又因空白处后面词的第一个发音音素为辅音，故填a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在特定的表演中，鼓手左手拿着鼓，右手拿着木槌，表演各种舞蹈动作。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做状语，使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语drummers之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填holding。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国传统的审美观念在鼓的演奏中得到了体现，这些都体现了鲜明的地方特色。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为：concepts，引导词为“介词+关系代词”结构，因先行词在定语从句中做主语指物，使用关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：如今，京西太平鼓这一古老的民间艺术正被年轻人所接受，并在全球舞台上呈现出其生动的艺术魅力。根据上文“the time-honored folk art of the Jingxi Taiping Drum is being taken up by the young people(京西太平鼓这一古老的民间艺术正被年轻人所接受)”以及下文“is presenting its lively artistic charm on a global stage(在全球舞台上呈现出其生动的艺术魅力)”可知上下文之间为并列关系，应使用表示并列关系的连词，故填and。

第二节 读后续写
47. 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。
On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, ” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. Finally, it was time for him to do the presentation. Standing in front of several experts from Go Green, Peter was nervous in fear of screwing things up. But unbelievably, when he began to speak, everything went so smoothly. His voice was clear and influential, and his speech was logical and well-organized. Peter ended his presentation with a deep bow and went out to wait for Go Green’s decision.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Their ideas were approved and Go Green agreed to provide the money they needed to purchase the trash bin. Peter smiled. It meant not only their efforts paid off, but also Tubman park would restore its cleanness and tidiness. Peter and Isabel decided to tell Mrs. Evans this good news first and then worked out the next step they needed to take.
