杭州高一（上）期中模拟试题 一．阅读理解 You and your friends are settling into your seats.The new Spider-Man movie is about to start and you’ve got the snacks: soda and popcorn.Food is part of what makes the movies fun. Just as the lights go out,you catch a slight smell of … tuna fish ! You turn your head, searching for the source.Then you spot him: A couple rows back,some guy is enjoying a tuna fish sandwich. How’d he get that in here You wonder.Then you remember how much you paid for your snacks.
