一、完形填空
Mo was waiting outside her class. She was feeling sick in the exam week. She really hated physics, her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked 1. She didn't have a problem with physics. She didn't have a problem with anything.
"Hi, Mo, it's your favourite exam today," said Nima, 2 as she joined the line. Terry was looking at Mo again. "So what's wrong with her?" asked Nima. "I thought you were friends."
"Yes, so did I," said Mo. "She 3 to help me revise for the physics exam, but she hasn't answered all my calls and texts. She's forgotten who her friends are!" Mo said 4. Mr. Reed was talking to the class and the students were going into the exam room. Mo gave Nima a worried 5 and followed them.
Mo couldn't answer the fifth question. It was too difficult. She looked up and saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her. Mo couldn't 6 it! Terry was holding her phone under the table and reading from it. Is that how Terry always got such good 7? It wasn't fair! Mo had never cheated and she often got in trouble for failing exams. 8 thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was too busy looking at her phone and she didn't hear Mr. Reed as he walked 9 up to her table. Mr. Reed said nothing. He just picked up her exam paper, and told Terry to leave the room. Everyone was looking at Mo and she felt really guilty now.
"Mo, please wait!" Terry called when Mo was leaving school. Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was 10 and her eyes were red. "I'm really sorry I haven't answered any of your calls. But we're having a terrible time at home. My dad had a big heart operation today and I was reading texts from my mum to see how the operation was going. I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was happening. Will you forgive me?"
